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.

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.

I have been wearing this bra for many years but my last two bras have been a huge disappointment. I bought the navy and gold and a nude one after being fitted in the shop last October, the navy and gold one is still ok although the straps loosen and I have had to stitch them to prevent this. The nude one has hugely gone out of shape, so much so that I went back to the store as I thought my boobs had changed size but, no, I am still a 28GG. The assistant thought it had been marked up in the wrong size. I bought another one in white this May; I had only worn it 4 times when the back went loose - I hadn’t even washed it! Needless to say I sent it back. Mine seems to be a problem with the light coloured bras. I won’t be purchasing them again so I am on the lookout for a new style. Such a shame as they fitted perfectly.

Very disappointed that after years of purchasing these bras, the latest nude one I bought is a terrible fit! I have worn it because it looked OK on but when I had worn it for a bit I was most uncomfortable and developed double boobs. I thought it was me and I just needed to adjust it. However, whatever I do it doesn’t stay in place. If I tighten it, my boobs are almost under my arms. It slips forward and the cups aren’t right. I bought a soft damson one at the same time and it fits perfectly and is so comfortable. I bought one in another colour about 2 months ago and that one and some older ones in the same size and style and they are also great. I would like feedback from Bravissimo on this.

Not sure what’s happened with these bras. I’ve been buying these for many years and always been really happy but the last 4 I’ve bought have all had problems. For some reason the right strap keeps sliding down. The side supports dig in painfully under your armpit and I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to stitch the wires back in as these keep breaking through the material. They are also really uncomfortable by the time you are two thirds through your day. I’m not buying these anymore and I’m trying some Fantasie ones instead. Got them from Debenhams only a mile away instead of a 38 mile round trip to get measured.

I have bought this bra in all colours over the years but the last three have all had the same issues, the straps don’t stay put slipping down my arms no matter how I’ve adjusted them. The bones in the sides dig in and I can’t wait to get home and take it off, finding pinch marks on my skin. What has happened? Sadly I can’t buy anymore as it isn’t just me reading the reviews. Please, Please sort this out as it was such a main stay of my life.
