When Nicola at Perfectly Petite Lingerie first chatted to me about the “new for Autumn 2010″ small cup bras from Panache Atlantis, she described them as fabulous. Available in AA-C cups at Perfectly Petite, the selection includes basics and problem-solving designs, which Nicola thought were spot on for her small-busted customers. Was this enthusiastic sales patter, or a real breakthrough for us little-chested ladies? Nicola challenged me to decide for myself — and promptly despatched the Wire Free Bra for me to road test. Here’s what I thought:
| Panache Atlantis Solutions wire free bra, £18, Perfectly Petite Lingerie Seller's blurb: This wire free bra is part of the "enhanced" range from Panache Atlantis Solutions. Using graduated foam cups, it offers subtle shaping and lift with a smooth finish. Available black, nude and white, in cup sizes AA-C, and from 30 for band width. |

| Looks | On the peg, this bra looks like a good quality, but very simple, T-shirt bra. The fabric has a satiny sheen and the sweetheart shape of the cups looks cute. On a small-busted woman, the look is more impressive. It gives oomph: not mindblowing cleavage, but a nice roundness that's gratefully received. | 4/5 |
| Fit | I tested a 32AA cup size and the fit is immaculate: no straps digging in, perfect cup size and comfortable band. Just like a second skin. | 5/5 |
| Comfort | Comfort can't be faulted with this bra. There are no niggles at all -- in fact, I'm finding it hard to part with it on "wash day". | 5/5 |
| Uplift | The graduated foam cups provide a "shelf", gently lifting the bust to create a natural, but fuller looking chest. | 5/5 |
| VERDICT | Overall, a really great, everyday bra, offering a smooth, gently curvy look underneath clothing, as well as excellent comfort. | 19/20 |

I am so happy I stumbled on to your site. I’m catching up on your past articles and am really looking forward to getting some inspiration as to styles that will make my small bust look the best that it can. One thing I have noticed is that those of us with small busts can get away with wearing very skimpy bras, even anopen bra, without having to worry about looking saggy or floppy. Perkiness does have its benefits.
Just received the Panache Atlantis Solutions wire free bra from Perfectly Petite…and it is gorgeous. Nice, subtle lift. Sturdy wire-free support. I think I may have found a new favourite bra brand! Thanks for the website!
Sounds great on all levels except it would be nice if they offered styles other than the usual black/nude/white. Even American Eagle’s only wirefree Grace bras have been recently reduced to only being available in this select color range. And they’re also currently offered at such a low price that I’m thinking they may be getting rid of the one wirefree bra they sell.
Dear All – Im glad for this blog since I also belong to a small, even tiny-breasted women. I also bought the above mentioned bra and hey – it was great to feel like there is finally a piece of underwear which acts like I hoped to. To my disapointment I have to admit that not even after a month of wearing it, the straps gone really loose and there is no way to shorten them anymore. This is really sad, because this bra is perfect in all other ways …. why are the straps sooooo long. I have a more tiny figure and I dont need straps of my bra to be so long – does anyone of you experience the same? Thanks for your feedback in advance … . Enjoy the summer all of you!
