Holy Wide Wires!

Comparing to my Ewa Michalak BM Chilli https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dngbo/, which should only be one cup smaller (30G in Panache vs 32F in Ewa) as the Chilli bra is a band size up...the underwire on the Panache is 1.8 inches longer, whoa!

I'm attaching pictures where you can see: there is space in between where my breast root ends, and where the wire continues past my breast root on the side. Well past where my breast root ends, lol. there's also a little space underneath my breast - more so than with the Ewas - I'm guessing this is because of the shape of the ... wires. I know the underwires can be bent slightly at the bottom, to ensure a better fit since in the mailing of the bra, it was probably smooshed flat. But I didn't bother b/c the wires on the side are SO WIDE, I'm going to send it back anyways.

Maybe the Envy is more the "average root" person and my roots are quite narrow.

The cups are comfy though, +1 for the Envy.

The band - yea!!! Finally a band that fits good (I have been wearing 32's mostly, and I now realize - I am just not a 32. With a 29" measurement, I have to at least wear a 30 band.

I'm not sure that the fabric is a little stiffer b/c of the dark dye (this one is navy) compared to the Nude envy I tried on in size 30FF, but it stretches TTS. The design is quite flattering, and the stretch lace helps with breast asymmetry (yea!).

Overall, a solid bra, it looks good. However, the wires were just too wide. I ordered this to determine if I am a 30G (I seem to be in between 30FF and 30G r.n.).

Ewa Michalak might be the brand for me. Her bras are $70 min. Not complaining about the price b/c they are quality, it's just that I usually have to order them from Europe to have a decent price, not in Canada.

Cups and gore were both slightly too wide for me and there's not enough projection. Otherwise, this is an excellent bra. Very comfortable, and looks very pretty.

This is my daily driver now. It's not perfect, still a little loose on the bottom and sides, but it's comfy and supportive.

A pretty good bra, but not perfect for me because I get wrinkling under the cups due to lack of immediate projection. It's pretty comfortable from the band up and you get that weightless/no bra feeling, but I do find the band feels thicker/heavier than a lot of bands. Similar to the Jasmine in shape, but the Jasmine is higher and rounder while the Envy is lower and pointier.

This bra is a perfect combination of Panache's Idina and Andorra styles as it provides a rounded shape like the Idina and a lovely stretch lace panel like the Andorra. It does not show through clothing and the beautiful pattern that will completely boost your confidence. It is recommended that you go up one cup size so this bra would better fit someone who typically wears size 30FF (UK).

However, on me this bra was simply too small in both the band and cups. As someone who has only learned about proper bra fitting in the past six months I am still experimenting with sizing and now believe that I am a 32GG (UK). I have also found that I much prefer full cup and plunge styles over balconettes for my body type. If you believe your true size is a 30FF (UK) and love balconnette styles this is a great bra for you.

Excellent coverage and support. Fabric is a bit scratchy and it comes up a little higher than needed under my arms. My boobs look young and perky. (Black)
