Did you know we don't use tape measures at Bravissimo? Instead we fit by eye as knowing how a bra should look and feel is the best way to find your most comfortable fit - here's how…
How do you know if your bra fits right?
1
How should your band fit?
Most of the support comes from the underband. It should be horizontal around your body without riding up or digging in. We recommend fastening a new bra on its loosest hooks so that you can tighten it if it stretches over time.
2
Where should the underwire of a bra sit?
The underwires in your bra should sit flat on your ribcage (not your boob!) all the way round to your armpits. The wires between your boobs should lie flat against your chest without digging in, rubbing or poking out.
3
How should a bra cup fit?
Make sure your boobs are fully in the cups – a bit of a scoop, wiggle and jiggle usually does the trick! You should fill the cups without any bulging or wrinkling even in a lower-cut style and there should be a smooth line, with no ridge, where the top and the side of the fabric ends.

Review by Helen F on
I have 5-6 Panache Envy bras - it’s the best bra ever frankly. Supportive, comfy, nice shape, pretty, washes well. Just a FYI that it comes up smaller than other brands - I’m a 30FF/G in Freya and 30GG in Panache.
This latest one loses a star because the strap material is different and it makes a creaking noise against the plastic loops at the back. Annoying and also a bit of sensory weirdness (like fingernails on a blackboard!). But still a fabulous supportive and pretty bra.

Review by Catherine on
I ordered a couple of these because they are my go-to style and I know they fit me well. I have several already and knew exactly what I was expecting. As soon as I put one on I knew it had changed.
The description says balconette. Every one of these I have ever ordered in the past has been a balconette.
The ones I have received are full cup and say so on the tags. Trying one on at the same time as an older one purchased last year, the top line of the cups of the new one is signifiantly higher, especially near the shoulder straps, and the straps are in a slightly different, narrower position. It's a fairly minor change, but enough to definitely change it from a balconette to a full cup.
Ultimately, the two I ordered are fine and I will keep them: they fit very well and are very comfortable. But either this style is no longer balconette, or there are multiple styles and that's not reflected in the description/options.

The Panache envy never disappoints! Good fit and especially happy with the slightly wider straps. I have this model in different colors now

Review by Sophie on
I tried this bra in a 32F, this was too small in the cups so the lovely Grace recommended I try a 32G. This bra came and I got the lovely Claire to double check this fit and to say I am so comfy and impressed is an understatement. I feel so uplifted, no longer have to go about braless or wearing non wired with zero support for my larger bust so I no longer have to worry my boob's are down at my belly button because the envy is a bra of dreams. Please don't discontinue this bra. The cinnamon colour is beautiful and I can't wait to order this in every colour my size stocks. I didn't know how good it felt to be in a bra that actually fits you I'm almost emotional I've found my perfect size and bra. Thank you bravissimo and thank you Grace and Claire 💜
