Hasn't set fit
Bought this bra used on BTB, together with a Snake Jasmine in the same size.
The bras arrived neatly packaged and are still in good wearable condition, as advertised.
When I first discovered the Envy (4-5 years ago) I purchased multiple sizes to decide which worked best, so I had previously tried it on in this size, 32G.
Back then I discarded the 32G as 'too flimsy', as I preferred the 3-hooks and sturdier construction in the 30GG that I kept, in black.
Now, I specifically wanted a 'lighter' fitting stretch lace bra (quarantine comfort, ya know), and I'm trying to be more mindful of re-using and recycling - which made me buy these 2 bras second-hand.
I really love the pink color, which may also come in handy in summer under lighter tops or dresses.
Comfort-wise, it's not ideal though. It fits alright, but the wires are still Panache-firm (which makes sense) and the gore is too high for me - I had to bend it out with pliers to stop pressing into my sternum. Interestingly, the gore feels relatively higher than the floral 30GG that I still own? Perhaps the 'scaling' of the 30GG works better for my frame.
Compared to the 30GG, this does feels like 'less bra' as I remembered. But fit-wise there are some issues: wires are too wide, the narrow band feels less comfortable to me and the narrow-ish shoulder straps are pretty wide set and sometimes slide off my shoulders.
Other issue: the underband is permanently 'rolled' outward under the cups, which feels uncomfortable during wear. At first I thought washing it would help; with some manual manipulation to re-structure and un-roll the underband while drying it - but that sadly hasn't helped.
As -to my own surprise- I actually didn't own any pink bras, I will definitely keep this and will probably get more wear out of her in spring/summer.
But for now, it's not the super comfy quarantine bra that I was looking for - which may be reasonable as after all, Panache is known for pretty hard wires.
So, I will probably stick with bralettes for slouchy couch days (;
