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 agree with many of the previous reviews that the fabric across the back and side is not of the quality it used to be, it soon becomes worn. The cup itself is OK but please panache sort out the material across the back. Unfortunately I can not recommend at this time until the quality is addressed.

I have bought this bra on numerous occasions over the years. I love the fit and it is very comfortable - bought a different style recently but not a good fit so in the process of ordering more. However like many other reviewers have found a tendency of late for the wires to pop through either at front or under arms - front is worst especially when I'm meeting clients as it looks like a hidden microphone. Definitely recommend and would continue wearing for years to come but manufacturer - please do something about the quality - it's an expensive piece of kit to thrown out after a few weeks!

I have been buying this bra for years for the fit, the shape and quality, but the last 3 I've purchased (two only recently) the wires have popped out the front after not long at all and always hand washing. Not many bra options at my size so please can the manufacturing quality be made a lot better.

I have also bought this bra in several different colours since trying it on for the first time afew years ago and am now back here ordering replacements. I too have never found a bra that fits me as well as this one, and I rarely wear anything else either. HOWEVER, I would agree that both the quality and fit of newer versions of this bra do not live up to their predecessors. I totally agree that the underwire breaks through the fabric quite soon into the wear of the bra, the wires that run along the side of the bra break and dig painfully under my arms. The straps are an issue for me because they no longer fully adjust so I can't get the fit as right as it used to be. I feel certain that the design has been adjusted, because they aren't as comfortable or long wearing as they used to be. Still a good bra, and one that I prefer, but I am concerned that the quality is deteriorating

I have been wearing the Tango panache for about 10 years I have had every colour released and it is the only bra I have found which provides good all round support.
However, I used to buy new bras every 3/6 months but of late I am having to replace with greater frequency due to the bones popping through the fabric either at bust or under arm, often only getting 4/6 weeks out of a bra. This has been a huge disappointment to me.

I have bought this bra in several different colours since trying it on for the first time in 2013. I have never found a bra that fits me as well as this one, and I rarely wear anything else. HOWEVER, I have found that both the quality and fit of newer versions of this bra do not live up to their predecessors. The underwire breaks through the fabric, the wires that run along the side of the bra break and dig painfully into my ribs... and the fit isn't as good, either. The straps are no longer fully adjustable, which sucks for us short ladies. I don't know if the design has been adjusted, but it seems as though the shape and size of the cups have changed (in my case for the worse).
So. Still a good bra, and one that I prefer, but it is going downhill...

Every time Panache bring out a new colour, I have to buy it (with a couple of exceptions). Being broad as well as super curvy this is the only bra that I find comfortable to wear all day long. I find it really supportive and the padded straps are a definite plus point.
If you haven't tried this style before, I would give it a go!
One and only down side is that the nude/skintone is a 'mucky/sludgy' sort of tone and not very attractive. Come on Panache, why not bring this out in a nice rich cream colour?

I have been buying this bra for years and have it in most colours, Like a lot of the other reviews I have had problems with the wires coming out on the last two bras I have
bought. I hope you will address this fault as I have never found a bra so comfortable as this.
