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.

I LOVE this bra! Super comfortable, pretty, great support. Everything I need in a bra. I oredered one in nude and straight after that I ordered a black one. Very pleased! Hope we get new colours soon!

This is by far the best bra I have ever had. I have tried them all, and have generally stuck with the Panache Eliza, but this one really blows them all out of the water. It takes the pressure of my back and shoulders, but still gives me natural looking boobs.

The Tango used to be my go to bra but I've recently lost a lot of weight and now the difference in size between my boobs shows up in the Tango. The cup goes wrinkly. I tried the Envy and love it. The stretchy lace on the cup gives me a smooth line and I now don't notice the difference in the size of my boobs when wearing a bra. The bra is very comfy and supportive. I have it in both black and nude. I just wish other colours were available.

Good fit and shape. The cup is quite full on side. Since I have a petite build, the straps on the balconnette style are set a bit too wide apart and they sit on the edge of my shoulder. If I pull them more towards the centre then they uncomfortably cut across my underarm.

Review by Felicity on
I was fitted for this bra in the shop and initially loved the shape and support it gave me.
However, when I wore it for a full day I found it dug into the skin under my armpits, which was extremely painful and left the skin red raw by the end of the day. I was so disappointed as I really like the style of the bra and was desperate for it to fit but I'm not sure I will ever be able to wear it - unless I use plasters to protect the skin. Regrettably, this purchase looks like being an expensive mistake.
I bought another bra (different style) during the same fitting session and that one fits like a dream. Having compared the two bras, it is immediately apparent that this style is cut higher under the arm and, subsequently, causes it to dig in/rub. I will make sure I look closely at bras in the future to check how high they are cut under the arms to avoid similar problems.

Review by Anna on
I used to be a big fan of the Rio bra from Freya. I had my very first fitting at the Oxford store, oh so many years ago & that was it! I was hooked on that bra for it's fantastic shape & style. However, having gained weight over the years, I was sad to find Freya didn't make the Rio bra in my size. Until I found this!!!! The Envy bra from Panache has to be an absolute lifesaver! Great shape, great quality & over all a really sexy bra. The dogtooth effect gives it a youthful look & well, lets put it this way, when walking down the road it has certainly put a 'bounce' back in my step. I love it so much I'm buying both the nude for work & of course the black for night. Get yourself one, you won't be disappointed!

Review by S H on
As someone who has avoided Panache for years until they launched the Jasmine bra, I was so happy to see they'd brought the Envy out based on the Jasmine as I wanted a pretty bra in basic black. As soon as i got it out of the box and put it on, i could feel it was good quality. it was strong, but without leaving you feeling like it was a proper 'boulder holder', which undoubtably it was with my post-pregnancy 34HHs! the straps are a bit thicker, which makes them dig in the shoulder a little, but it wasnt terribly painful as with some other bras, plus i think this will improve after a few washes. it has a similar shape to the Jasmine, ie upfront and together, which is more flattering on me. and it kept my boobs up all day. comfortably too. my only plea is Panache, please bring this out in pretty, brighter colours. I never wear Nude!!!

Review by Claire on
I've avoided Panache for years because their bras were so painful to wear but, encouraged by good experiences with the Cleo brand, and a few good reviews here, I thought I'd give this a try. This is my new default bra!! I feel utterly secure in this all day, almost to the point of forgetting about my chest, which at my small frame and large cup size is difficult to do. FAR better for me than Jasmine (which gives me shoulder pain and digs in everywhere, whilst making it even more difficult to button coats) Envy gives a wonderful, natural, lifted, rounded, slightly minimized shape (hoorah, I am so sick of over-emphasized, pointy boobs!) while the side support resists spillage. The soft stretch lace moulds to my shape but is simultaneously very supportive: magic!
I have two black in 30HH and one nude 30HH - the nude seems a little more generous in the cup, so I might try a 30H, too...
