Comfort-wise this bra isn't nearly as bad as it looks. The band lays mostly flat all the way around and feels surprisingly wearable for a 30. (I wear 28, but I think Clara only comes in 30+) Tried this bra in a couple sizes (30H, 30HH, 32GG, 32H) and actually they all 'kind of' fit.. No major jumps in band and cup between sizes, stretch lace makes for a forgiving fit. The 30 band made the hard wires + gore too stabby for me. The 30HH and 32H were too full coverage for my taste. In the end I went for 32GG as it had the least issues. Clara works much ... much better for me than Andorra, which I tried (but hated) in a 30H. They're supposed to be sister cuts but I found the Andorra's cups less flattering and too tall. Because of how much I like it, I'm willing to ignore some fit issues. And as for comfort, I can work a full day in Clara without it being too chafey. But because of the gore it is definitely not suitable for after-work relaxing on the couch in the evening. Matching panties are very pretty too and fit my bigger hips & bum well in UK size 14.

Clara, you're elegant AF, but you just won't work for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />Wires: quite firm and long, but most of the wire length is in the gore, not on the sides. For me I don't like (or need) much side coverage, but others may find the sides too low. This should be considered a guideline only and may be subject to change due to external and unforeseen circumstances. Right To Cancel

THE TAKEAWAY: Best for shallower breasts or breasts that don't need much immediate depth. Full cup + stretch lace on top half is quite accommodating and I think would work well for the whole range of vertical fullness. High gore is no bueno for close set busts. Band is stretchy, consider sister sizing down if possible.I had a hard time figuring out what didn't quite fit about this bra until I started taking photos. I've pointed at the empty space below & beside the cups. The wire is nowhere near my IMF at all. Not enough projection either. I've been breastfeeding continuously for 3.5 years. During that time I've been pretty prone to clogs anytime I even LOOK at a wired bra, so I've been mostly wearing bras I affectionately call "stretchy beige tarps." My youngest baby is a little over 1 year old and only nurses twice a day now, so I was VERY excited to make a trip to the local fancy bra boutique (Breakout Bras!) and have a proper fitting. Even before I got pregnant, I was wearing ... super old stretched out bras. I honestly can't even guess what size they were. In preparation for my fitting, I measured myself and followed the directions on r/ABTF and come up with a size somewhere in the neighborhood of 34G/GG. That seemed about right to me, I knew my band was 34ish but I couldn't find cups big enough in stores. I planned a girls' luncheon with my friends to try on bras, and off we went. Multi-part, seamed, unpadded underwire cups have mesh lining and inner support slings to shape, round and lift the breast. Available in sizes up to a K cup, Panache bras ensure that you will be showcasing the perfect look and, more importantly the perfect feel! The Panache lingerie range features basics and bold prints alike so you're covered for all occasions. Band: went with a size bigger than usual (32 instead of 30) because in this style it feels more comfortable than the 30 band.

But only a little. If I was a true 30, I think the shape would be fine. The side support panels work hard to keep everything forward. Best of all, this bra is available in sizes up to a J cup, so everyone can enjoy the perfect fit. Panache Side Support Bras An iconic style from Panache Lingerie - the Clara full cup bra offers exceptional fit and support with a timeless, elegant style. Vintage inspired lace details extend up to the straps creating a gorgeous shape and silhouette. Non-stretch bottom cups ensure great lift for D+ cup, with a flexible stretch lace top cup for ease of fit and inner mesh slings for projection and support. The uncomfortable parts: I've worn sports bras for... pretty much my entire bra life. So having a real band is taking some getting used to. The gore itches like mercy and I'm not quite sure why, I'm hoping it was excess soap but I'm going to probably sew a tiny thing on the inside to protect my skin from it, and I'm going to bend the wires a bit so it isn't touching as hard. The part where the bra cup turns into the strap has some lace that itches as well so if you have super sensitive skin you might have to do a little modification of this bra.

There are a growing number of women who have a requirement for bra sizes of D or above. The problem is that within the UK, until recently, the styles available for larger bra sizes were limited, however that has now changed due to the introduction of an impressive array of stylish designs from well known brands such as Panache Bras.
