Myself and my partner always struggle to find anything we like that goes up to her top of the scale size of 40L. A visit to any store usually ends in frustration that we can't have x or y bra in her size. We used to love the Panache range when Sarah was a smaller cup but they don't extend beyond K cup and that's a great source of disappointment to us, and many others we suspect. (Please Bravissimo exert some pressure on Panache)! However, we love the Alana style, it offers great support to Sarah's boobs and gives a really nice shape, no 4-boob effect and the boys are safely wrapped within. Despite us being at the upper end of the big boob scale we have never experienced any failure of wires, straps, material or any other part of the wondrous garment that is the Alana bra. The new colour is fab and we have all shades and hues available now. Please keep up the good work Bravissimo. This is a fabulous piece of support, structure and engineering.

I never had an issue with Alana bra straps when I first began to purchase this bra two or so years ago. They were matte and had a slightly thicker 'felt' fabric like feel, which your fingers could not slide along. Over the last few purchases, I have noticed these becoming more and more shiny and smooth in feel. Needless to say since the change I cannot keep straps on my shoulders, I am returning the straps to their rightful place on my shoulders about 3 times an hour. Its getting me down and I am fed up with it. Why oh why did you change it? I might as well put oil on my shoulders. Note I am not putting any products on my shoulders that is contributing to this problem. Really is a pain in the rear to be pulling the straps up on average 3 times an hour, indeed walking my dogs this morning, it was many more times than 3. If it wasn't broke don't fix it. Please give us those straps back. There is sometimes the need to put comfort before look. Return to the previous straps please.

I am extremely happy with this bra. I love the support and extra coverage it offers. I usually wear Freya 28FF, but the 28G in this style fit just right. This is the first Bravissimo brand style I have felt comfy in. Please continue to make in the 28 band! I plan to repurchase this style. It is so nice as a nude everyday bra.

I ordered four bras in the same size, and this was the smallest of the four in both the band and the cup. I found it very supportive and it tacked well at the center gore, but it was so intensely itchy that I know I would never wear it. Such a shame!

I love the Alana bra, it’s always a great fit and so comfortable. As I and tend to stick to the nude and black colours I was delighted to see that this bra was now in navy with a burgundy trim. So I duly ordered two nude Alana bras and one navy. The nude bras are a lovely fit and good quality. But I was really disappointed with the quality of the navy Alana bra. Not only was the fit poor (same size as the nude Alana bras) but the quality was so disappointing. It felt like a really cheap bra and not a patch on the nude bras. I’ve sent it back and ordered another black Alana bra in exchange. Very disappointing Bravissimo!

Love, love, love this bra! Have bought it in cobalt blue, black, white and nude over the last few years. It’s THE best fit, most comfortable bra I’ve bought. Need more colours please!

I have been wearing this bra for many years. Have had every colour made. I recently purchased the navy + burgundy and was excited by the new colour. However, the bra is awful. The straps are so uncomfortable and made my skin sore. They don't even stay flat because of the design I guess. Please go back to the old design.

Have been a fan of this style for a few years now and always have a couple on the go. Bit disappointed in the change of the nude colour; it’s now much more ‘peachy’ than it used to be. Not so nice, what a shame! Style and fit still great though.
