This is well fitting but unfortunately, in the manufacture one strap has been left with a ridge on a seam that just won’t flatten, and is stitched such that a novice sew-er like me doesn’t have the skill to amend. Maybe someone with more skill could re-do it. As such, this is a short wear bra only for me now.

I went in to the store to have a fitting... hadn't had a fitting for a while. My size had gone up from a G to H. I was fitted with several styles and settled on the Clara for a really good and comfortable fit. I purchased the white and nude and will get a black one soon. Great service from the fitter who took time to make sure I got the perfect fit for me.

I purchased this bra last July and it’s been sat in my drawer ever since! Having worn it for about 5 minutes, I had to take it off as I found the lace incredibly itchy. Such a shame as it’s a nice fit.

I cannot express enough how much I love this bra. I have had it for a few years now in various different colours and always get the seasonal ones as well. It offers the best support of any bra I have ever owned while also being the most comfortable. It gives such a nice round, forward shape that looks great under pretty much everything. My fitter in the Guildford store said 'strong women wear the Clara' and she is so right.

I tried this one in the store after seeing it and I loved it, it has a beautiful mix of lace and a metallic purple. However, after wearing it for a day I found that the stretchy lace detail at the top of each cup didn’t hold the shape at all and seemed to bulge and spill out.

The Clara bra is a lovely style, very supportive and looks high quality and durable. Unfortunately it was completely wrong for me, the band was tight, and while the cups fitted, they squashed my breasts against my chest in a wide shape, rather than out of the front. I bought it for the sling/forward facing effect, but sadly it didn't do that for me.

I love the Clara, and so far have had a total five (!) in different colourways - nude being my latest purchase. I've always taken a cup size up from e.g. Panache Jasmine or unpadded Cleo bras, so I'm not sure if I'd call it true to size (if there is such a thing - I'm often a 30F, but wear also at least two other sizes, depending on the brand!) It's a very light shade of beige, so might be too bright for darker complexions. It has the same lux lace feel as the other colours imho, but surprisingly it fits a bit differently than the other two Claras I have & wear regularly (black/grey & cobalt blue) - the cups seem a tiny bit larger and for some reason the centre gore isn't entirely comfortable (never had this issue with the other bras). I hope this disappears with wear. About the briefs, as mentioned by another reviewer - I have those for Panache Jasmine in a size 12, so took the same size here and they are at least a size larger.

I have a few of the Clara style and needed an update. Upon ordering the usual size it was clear that I needed a slight size change. The bra is still lovely and a perfect fit, once I adjusted the size. However, after three attempts and 5 mins wear the eye that the hook goes into came loose out of the stitching. I cannot fault Bravissimo customer service they have been wonderful, however I have had to give up on this style, which is the best I have ever found. It would have been nice if Panache had looked into the issue and responded. There is definitely a quality issue as my other Clara bras are old and are still fully intact. Now I am in search of a new style....
