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.

I have worn this bra for several years, it is comfortable, but I find the bones at each side perish and snap after 6-12 months. Otherwise its OK and probably the best fitting bra for a fuller bust I have tried for a while.

Review by Rachel on
I have owned these for years and it is my most comfy every day bra. Sometimes you can see the detail of the embroidery through tops if they are stretched across the bust so keep this mind.
The wire is quite stiff and creaky but it lifts and separates your boobs really well.
I own in three colours and wear everyday.

Review by Sarah on
This was my favourite bra, fit really well and had various colours as felt such a good fit.
Recently the side wires have split causing to dig into my breast, in more than 1 bra in same place. Straps don't tighten as well and not as comfortable.
I followed previous advice to email customer service but 6 months later I still haven't had a reply.
I am continuing to buy as haven't found another but am replacing quite frequently due to above issues.
Love this bra but fed up of wires!4 out of 5 stars

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.

Review by Shona M on
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.

Review by Cheekyj on
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?

Review by Nikki on
I've just ordered this as I had the Tango plunge bra, but the fit for this balconette version just wasn't right. The cups are enormous. They are just too large and I can grab fabric in the cup. The back was brilliant and fitted perfectly and was so comfortable which was a shame. I'd not tried this one before, but it's going to have to go back, I just hope the postage back from NZ isn't a fortune! I'll stick to Bravissimo's own Alana bra.
The fabric and make of this bra is fab though, it's just the fit and size are all wrong for me.
