I have been wearing this bra for a few years as it’s one of the only one that fits well initially. I always have issues with it and thought it was down to how I hand washed it, but even before they are washed the problems start. After finally reading the reviews I am glad to see I am not alone having problems with the quality. Yes, when you first wear it, the fit is perfect and firm. After only a couple of wears the wire starts to dig in on the sides and after a few more wears it pops out. The straps are constantly falling down, I feel a few years ago it wasn’t the case but the comfort and quality has definitely changed. It is a real shame as it isn’t cheap.

I am in agreement with the recent reviews, this bra was on first wearing comfortable but after a day or two the underwire started to curl a bit and stick out from my body, also I was nearly stabbed in the middle of my chest when the wire came out the from the bra and was visible from the top of my T-shirt. Won’t purchase this again sadly I only had it a few weeks when this happened.

I am so disappointed with the clear change in manufacturing. This was my perfect bra, but sadly like others no more. No more wasting my money on the bra. Washed by hand, wires come out after very little use at both sides of cup, feels very flimsy compared to previously. Straps, this should be a strapless bra for the amount of time they are on my shoulders. I have tried and tried again believing this time the bra will be just like used to be, but no more. This is extremely poor value for money and I have given up buying.

This has been the ONLY bra that I have bought (except sports bras) for very many years, and I too have noticed the reduction in quality, the issues with digging in, wires popping out and shoulder straps slipping off constantly. 2 years ago I would have given this a 5* review, but despite starting out great, the quality has started to let this down. Please, please, please Bravissimo, sort this out with the manufacturers - I don't know what I'm going to do for bras otherwise!

This is the only bra I can find to fit since Bravissimo has reduced the number of manufacturers it stocks. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I haven’t had any issues with quality but it’s disappointing that many of the colours available only start at a 30. I’d love it if Panache made this style in a smooth finish to wear under t shirts.

I have been wearing these bras and only these bras for many years and have them in all colours. I’m a 30H and they are a perfect fit and so comfortable to wear. I have never had a problem with wires popping out. I always wash them folded in half in a lingerie wash bag (on 40 easy care which has a moderate spin speed) which stops them getting tangled and pulled about in the machine and they last and last.

I LOVE this bra as it is the only bra that fits me of all the ranges stocked in Bravissimo or anywhere else for that matter. Being a 34K with very full breasts it is very difficult to get the right fit but ever since venturing into Bravissimo many years ago this has been my boobie life line! I have noticed though that the last few times I have bought this bra, the underwire pops out after only a few wears and they tend to get stretched very easily now i.e in only a couple of months. I often buy a new bra just before a holiday abroad so I can never return them. But they are not cheap on the pocket for a part-time worker and student so I have settle for patching up where the underwire pops out. Not ideal really. I have to buy this bra so Please Please Please speak with Panache about the deterioration in quality of this amazing bra AND if they could do a smooth one that would be great as I always need to wear a little vest top so the design is not seen through my clothing. Thank you all though, you are always so lovely when I have a fitting - it leaves you feeling fabulous! :)

Hear, hear to Katherine from Belgium on 5th Dec. Bravissimo, your silence on what is going on really doesn't help. Why has the quality of this superb bra deteriorated? Are you having problems with supplier etc? We'd sympathise if we only knew! This is literally the only comfy bra I've found after many fittings. This matters to us as much as the horrible time we had before you existed. PLEASE don't let us down! And yes, please get this made up in non-embroidered fabric so that we too have a comfy bra to wear unseen under tee-shirts.
