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.
Not sure what size you are, or feeling uncomfortable in your current size? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! A whopping 92% of women change bra size after their first fitting with us, so you’re not alone! We promise we can find you the uplifting fit that you deserve.

This is the only style bra that has always fit perfectly which is why I have purchased this in various colours for a number of years. Lately however I have noticed a decline in quality. The wire has come through after just only 3 months. This has been handwashed only and the second time this year this has happened.

How comfortable can a gal be – as comfortable as wearing this fantastic bra! It is a perfect fit - as all Bravissimo bras are - it holds me in the right places and it seems to be invisible! I have never felt so supported or happy to be wearing a bra. I will have it in all colours!

Its the straps!
After reading other reviews I realise Im not the only one who has problems with the straps on this bra.
It was perfect when I bought it a few months ago but now is sooo irritating to wear. I tighten the straps and 5 minutes later they are falling off my shoulders. I will never buy another Panache Tango bra.

This style used to be my fav for a long time, but lately the quality has gone down, does not fit as it used to, the wire keeps on coming out ( I never wash it in the machine, just hand wash), it become loose so soon??! I hope someone will read our comments and take our concerns on board, Am beginning to think perhaps I should start looking for bra in somewhere else! Disappointed as I love to shop here but lately I don't find what I want! ????

So again a couple of weeks after buying this bra the wires are already coming out. This style has always been my daily go to bra, but for some reason the quality has changed in the last few years and every panache bra I have purchased recently has the wires coming through within weeks! They are not cheap bras to buy so why does the the quality not match? I love the Alana bra and have never had any problems with that but I like the support of the panache bra for day to day wear. Please Bravissimo get the quality back to what it used to be, some of us girls rely on your bras.

I've been buying only this bra (various colours) and only from Bravissimo all my adult life (some 20 years!!!) and have always found it to be a good, secure, reliable and consistent fit. I get measured by you every few years and change any orders accordingly.
I've just logged on here to buy a swimsuit, and am bothered to see that many people are writing reviews about straps coming loose and sliding down arms, and wires poking through... This is my recent experience too, but I thought it was just me having put on weight!!!
Please can we have the Tango back as it was... If I now have to search for a new well-fitting bra after all these years it will be a major upheaval that I really don't need!!! If it has been cost-cutting by Panache in using cheaper materials, I would rather they get it right and charge more for it!!

Review by M A on
Washed dark Panache bra and the material tore close to the wire. The plastic disintegrated - shedding white specks everywhere! I replaced the bra and it has happened a second time! 2 bras in 6 months!
I have been buying only BRAVISSIMO bras for 15 years and I put them through the washing machine. Previously there has been no issue. A couple of very old ones the wire eventually poked through at the top - but a quick stitch sorted that out. Each bra has lasted a long time. When the first of these new Tango bras disintegrated I thought it had maybe got caught in the door and it was my fault. So I bought another one and it has happened again. The quality has clearly deteriorated.
Reading the reviews - hand washing isn't the answer and I have better things to do with my time. So bye-bye Bravissimo.

Brought 3 of these bras in different colors. The actual fit cup wise is extremely good BUT the straps are a nightmare. I adjusted the straps on all 3 bras to a perfect/comfortable position but after wearing for only a very short period of time all of them constantly keep slackening off, slipping right back to wear they started. As a result I am left rummaging down the front of my clothing every 5 minutes pulling the straps of my forearm and back onto my shoulder! Also the under wiring on one of the bra's has recently decided to force its way through at the front. Unfortunately I didn't wear any of the bra's properly until a number of weeks after purchase so was unable to return but needless to say I will not be purchasing this particular item again.
