A great everyday essential. Envy is a cross between Andorra and Jasmine.

The cup construction is exactly the same as jasmine, with the deepest point being between the gore and the vertical seam.
It has andorras gore - which makes wires sit further apart then jasmine, and also end up a little wider under the arms.

It allows more volume in the bottom of the cup then both jasmine and andorra!!!
Better for those who need more immediate projection.

All this affects shape - profile is more round and lifted then andorras, but also slightly minimized like andorras.
The front is less centered then Jasmine, the boobs do go out of your frame ... but in a very natural, round and lifted manner.
It gives the perfect "purple shape" as described by Bras I hate and Love.

The stretch lace is different then the previous two, it is firmer and more substantial, giving better support from the top, but stil very forgiving. I also suspect this type of lace would hold up better through time.

Band is firm and stable, even more so then the Jasmine.

Materials are the comfiest by far compared to other two, love the houndstooth detail, I'd just like the lace to be less flowery, it would suit the pattern better.

Matching knickers are true to size and very comfy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Update: This bra is the best everyday bra I have ever owned. And even though I get better shape in cleos and jasmine, this bra is what I reach for most of the time. It works like a t-shirt bra for me.

The horizontal seam was too prominent for me to wear with a t-shirt. Straps and lace have a little stretch, but the cups don't give at all, so the support is very good. I really like the shape - it's very natural, not too round.

I have tried several different bras from Panache at this point and I've yet to find one that is the wrong shape, doesn't tack, too wide or too anything. I think it's safe to say this brand suits my shape very well. Envy is no exception.

For reference, the Tango II in 28HH fits me almost like a custom bra. The Envy in 30GG fits quite snug in the cups and held my soft tissue close to my chest without totally flattening them, almost like a sports bra. It gave me a round, "held in" shape and I feel very supported in it, though I can probably get away ... with a 30H, or a even 28HH for less compression and a more natural shape.

This isn't really a "con", but I wish the bottom edge of the band was smooth all around like the Jasmine and Tango. I don't mind lace but I can't help but feel this particular one would look better with a smooth band, well at least it's unobtrusive. Regardless, this is a nice and seemingly good quality bra. The firm wires for me are not pokey or painful at all. Straps are heavy duty. wide and padded for comfort yet still manages to looks pretty. I have nothing bad to say about it.

Too wide, started to dig into my armpits too much so I've stopped wearing it entirely. Cups reach all the way to my back. Might be okay in lower cup sizes.

I love the rounded shape and how the lace looks but the band is a bit too big, the underwire stabs near my armpit, and the gore leaves bruises.

This was my go-to daily bra when I was in this size range. It looked good under T-shirts, was comfortable, and matched my shape well (short roots, wide set, projected). My size is now nowhere near 30GG, so I passed this bra on. I kind of wish I had held on to it in case I get to that size range again for my next pregnancy.

I'm really disappointed that this didn't fit. I'd been looking forward to it's arrival, but it seems small in the cup. Black bras often seem to. Bra is very pretty. Fabric is not irritating. Does not fit.

Backwards & Upsidedown: Feels fine, so the issue must be the cup size.

Wires: Wires correct width and height.

Gore: Gore lies mostly flat. Can fit fingertip under it. May be slightly too wide and tall, as it is squishing breast tissue, but this is likely caused by the spillage from the cups instead of a true gore issue.

Cups: Bottom wrinkling, top spilling. Cups too small. Just below inframammary fold.

Straps: Strap width is fine, ... placement is fine, adjustment is fine. Band appears to be parallel.

Comfort: If I run my finger under the bottom of the band in front it uncurls part of the fabric. If I do it in back, it leaves my skin hurting. Noticeable quad-boob. Shape is fine, but I feel squished. On for five minutes and has left achy marks. I haven't measured this yet, but I wonder if it was mislabeled.

This was the only bra I could wear throughout most of my pregnancy because of the stretch lace, it was a godsend. Thinking of having it converted to a nursing bra next time around. However, there is not enough immediate lower projection for me, sadly, so I always had some wrinkling at the bottom and some digging wires. Also, it might just be me, but I don't really like when there's lacy parts at the bottom of the band/wire, because that always ends up rolling under and irritating my skin.
