I purchased this bra last July and it’s been sat in my drawer ever since! Having worn it for about 5 minutes, I had to take it off as I found the lace incredibly itchy. Such a shame as it’s a nice fit.

I cannot express enough how much I love this bra. I have had it for a few years now in various different colours and always get the seasonal ones as well. It offers the best support of any bra I have ever owned while also being the most comfortable. It gives such a nice round, forward shape that looks great under pretty much everything. My fitter in the Guildford store said 'strong women wear the Clara' and she is so right.

I tried this one in the store after seeing it and I loved it, it has a beautiful mix of lace and a metallic purple. However, after wearing it for a day I found that the stretchy lace detail at the top of each cup didn’t hold the shape at all and seemed to bulge and spill out.

The Clara bra is a lovely style, very supportive and looks high quality and durable. Unfortunately it was completely wrong for me, the band was tight, and while the cups fitted, they squashed my breasts against my chest in a wide shape, rather than out of the front. I bought it for the sling/forward facing effect, but sadly it didn't do that for me.

I love the Clara, and so far have had a total five (!) in different colourways - nude being my latest purchase. I've always taken a cup size up from e.g. Panache Jasmine or unpadded Cleo bras, so I'm not sure if I'd call it true to size (if there is such a thing - I'm often a 30F, but wear also at least two other sizes, depending on the brand!) It's a very light shade of beige, so might be too bright for darker complexions. It has the same lux lace feel as the other colours imho, but surprisingly it fits a bit differently than the other two Claras I have & wear regularly (black/grey & cobalt blue) - the cups seem a tiny bit larger and for some reason the centre gore isn't entirely comfortable (never had this issue with the other bras). I hope this disappears with wear. About the briefs, as mentioned by another reviewer - I have those for Panache Jasmine in a size 12, so took the same size here and they are at least a size larger.

I have a few of the Clara style and needed an update. Upon ordering the usual size it was clear that I needed a slight size change. The bra is still lovely and a perfect fit, once I adjusted the size. However, after three attempts and 5 mins wear the eye that the hook goes into came loose out of the stitching. I cannot fault Bravissimo customer service they have been wonderful, however I have had to give up on this style, which is the best I have ever found. It would have been nice if Panache had looked into the issue and responded. There is definitely a quality issue as my other Clara bras are old and are still fully intact. Now I am in search of a new style....

This is such a lovely bra. I have it in various colours but this time I bought it in Ivory. It’s a lovely fit and feels very supportive. I’ve only worn it a few times but both wires have come out under my arms making it uncomfortable to wear. Very disappointing as I usually love them.

Purchased this bra in ivory, loved it fits beautifully very comfortable. I was really upset when only having worn it for 2 days the wire came through the bra not just one side but both. contacted customer services was told they hadn't had any other problems so ordered a replacement. Received the replacement and this time after 1st wear the wire had come through. Sending back again and will not purchase another one. There must be a problem with material used or that hardness of the wire for this to happen so quickly. such a shame as a really pretty bra.
