Good fit and shape. The cup is quite full on side. Since I have a petite build, the straps on the balconnette style are set a bit too wide apart and they sit on the edge of my shoulder. If I pull them more towards the centre then they uncomfortably cut across my underarm.

I was fitted for this bra in the shop and initially loved the shape and support it gave me. However, when I wore it for a full day I found it dug into the skin under my armpits, which was extremely painful and left the skin red raw by the end of the day. I was so disappointed as I really like the style of the bra and was desperate for it to fit but I'm not sure I will ever be able to wear it - unless I use plasters to protect the skin. Regrettably, this purchase looks like being an expensive mistake. I bought another bra (different style) during the same fitting session and that one fits like a dream. Having compared the two bras, it is immediately apparent that this style is cut higher under the arm and, subsequently, causes it to dig in/rub. I will make sure I look closely at bras in the future to check how high they are cut under the arms to avoid similar problems.

I used to be a big fan of the Rio bra from Freya. I had my very first fitting at the Oxford store, oh so many years ago & that was it! I was hooked on that bra for it's fantastic shape & style. However, having gained weight over the years, I was sad to find Freya didn't make the Rio bra in my size. Until I found this!!!! The Envy bra from Panache has to be an absolute lifesaver! Great shape, great quality & over all a really sexy bra. The dogtooth effect gives it a youthful look & well, lets put it this way, when walking down the road it has certainly put a 'bounce' back in my step. I love it so much I'm buying both the nude for work & of course the black for night. Get yourself one, you won't be disappointed!

As someone who has avoided Panache for years until they launched the Jasmine bra, I was so happy to see they'd brought the Envy out based on the Jasmine as I wanted a pretty bra in basic black. As soon as i got it out of the box and put it on, i could feel it was good quality. it was strong, but without leaving you feeling like it was a proper 'boulder holder', which undoubtably it was with my post-pregnancy 34HHs! the straps are a bit thicker, which makes them dig in the shoulder a little, but it wasnt terribly painful as with some other bras, plus i think this will improve after a few washes. it has a similar shape to the Jasmine, ie upfront and together, which is more flattering on me. and it kept my boobs up all day. comfortably too. my only plea is Panache, please bring this out in pretty, brighter colours. I never wear Nude!!!

I've avoided Panache for years because their bras were so painful to wear but, encouraged by good experiences with the Cleo brand, and a few good reviews here, I thought I'd give this a try. This is my new default bra!! I feel utterly secure in this all day, almost to the point of forgetting about my chest, which at my small frame and large cup size is difficult to do. FAR better for me than Jasmine (which gives me shoulder pain and digs in everywhere, whilst making it even more difficult to button coats) Envy gives a wonderful, natural, lifted, rounded, slightly minimized shape (hoorah, I am so sick of over-emphasized, pointy boobs!) while the side support resists spillage. The soft stretch lace moulds to my shape but is simultaneously very supportive: magic! I have two black in 30HH and one nude 30HH - the nude seems a little more generous in the cup, so I might try a 30H, too...

I'm one of those who prefered ENVY to Jasmine. I was after an all black but pretty bra, I'm not an Alana fan, bit scratchy, so reluctantly I tried panache again as previously I had found the wires too high under the arm pits. However This has quickly become my go- to black everyday bra. My favourite thing is that the central wires are not too high, which I am finding a lot in an H/hh bravissimo cup. I'm short but with boobs so don't need the wires up to my chin! Anyway, back to the ENVY, Yes the lace is stretychy on the upper part of the cup, but hey, I dont run anywhere with H cups! And I'm finding the less- upfront - more rounded shape a comfortable change. as I said, Its become my favourite which I'm glad about as its the most expensive! I will be trying more Panache again. pants ( shorts ) are a bit boring tho.

As a huge fan of the Jasmine bra on which this bra is based I have to say the Envy is nowhere near as good for me. The lace on top is not as elastic so does not fit as snuggly - I find it a bit gapey - and the fabric used for the side sling is not as firm so doesn't give the forward projecting shape of the Jasmine. The other problem I have is with the straps. Unlike the Jasmine these ones roll badly and can become quite uncomfortable. I was so excited when I saw this was based on my all time fave the Jasmine that I immediately ordered two as I was a bit desperate for a plain black bra but I rather wish I hadn't. Please Bravissimo, can you beg Panache on our behalf to please, please make the Jasmine in some solid colours (namely black) as well as the gorgeous prints?

I love the design and style of this bra, ordered in a 30k and 30JJ. I have full cups and found that there wasn't much support due to the fact that the straps are long and didn't tighten up much, with the Tango over time the straps slacken so with this bra with the straps already being long would Loose support quickly. I think a 28K would be perfect for me with a shorter strap. But they start at 30 in the back (the Tango wires come up too high and is uncomfortable)
