I have worn this style as a daytime basic from the first one in a bottle green being launched and loved it. Unfortunately, the wire issue is a big problem for the last 18mths after approx. 3 months wear, handwashed and rotated with four others - so not over worn!!!! Last year, sales assistants refused to replace as too long had passed due to underuse but did assure me that the wire issue had been dealt with. I need to call in this month for a good restock and would love to replace in the new colours but am reluctant but love the shape and colours very much. Come on Bravissimo and sort this as I've had no issues with your other styles. Fingers crossed as at my size I'm stuck....

I originally brought a fantasy bra from Bravissimo and was so pleased I thought I would try another make so I got fitted for the Alana bra in nude colour which I was delighted with - however I only wore it about 5 or 6 times (washed once) when the wires came through. I took it back to the shop and they somewhat reluctantly replaced it. I then brought another bra in black, thinking the issue I had with the wire was a one off. I am alway extremely careful how I wash the bra (albeit I have brought several cheaper bras from elsewhere and subjected them to a machine wash and have never had this problem). However, unfortunately the replacement bra only lasted with about 3 months wear and the wire also came through the fabric. This is really dissappointing and really does need to be looked into - the bra fit and look is lovely but I could not bring myself to buy another one in case the same happens.

I've been a very loyal customer for over 15 years. But think that you've made a mistake with this bra for the bigger cupped ladies. This is the second one I have purchased and less than 3 weeks later the wire is poking out again. Did follow washing instructions. I have always wore Panache and they have lasted 6-9 months. Really disappointed with this bra.

I do love the Alana bra but have to agree with the other buyers, I bought 3 and thought it was a one off when the wire poked through the black one, but today it has happened to the nude one, I now only have the white one left so have just ordered a couple of new bras from Brastop.com hoping these will fit as well as the Alana :(

I have bought several of these bras as they are such a good fit and very comfortable but recently the last 3 have all had a problem with the wire poking through after very little wear. I have just looked on the website and find I am not alone. Many people are complaining yet I can find no response from Bravissimo. This can only be down to a manufacturing fault and surely it would be good customer relations to acknowledge this, reassure us that something is being done about it and offer some form of discount. Come on Bravissimo - what's the point in giving feed back if no-one does anything?

Bought three of these bras due to the good fit, but in all three the wires have come out in more than one place in less than 3 months. Would not buy another as they are clearly poor quality due to the faulty design.

I have had many Alana bras in different colours over the years. I bought a new nude Alana bra online a few weeks ago as the wires in my previous nude Alana bra kept poking through the material and i sewed it up too many times. But now with this new bra the wires dig in to my chest and its very uncomfortable. I usually only buy this Style as it usually fits perfectly and washes well too. Having said that my newish black Alana bra in the same size fits fine? So if your thinking of buying an Alana bra in nude, think again. i will be in future. :-(

I am glad it is not just me that has had issues with the underwire on this bra! I have used this bra for a while but the last 3 have all had the underwire break through the fabric and hurt me until I had a chance to go home and change. I tried stitching them but they break through again. I have been with Bravissimo since they started and disappointed in this poor quality. Also disappointed I have to look for a different bra now as the style and fit are perfect.
