This bra looks great, is really comfortable, but the shape under clothing is a bit meh. Is ok for a low v-neck top or purely for seduction purposes. Like, I solely wear this bra around the house if there is a chance of nookie forecast but I don't want to commit to the whole seduction outfit.

This bra is like a big, sturdy boob cage, and I mean that in a good way! Maybe that's not your preference, but I really like how full coverage this bra is and how firm the material is. I even like the little line of elastic that runs across the top of the cups. It keeps my soft breast tissue from going anywhere (along with the high gore), and it doesn't even cut into my FOT breasts!

The only thing I'm not a fan of in terms of how much of your body this bra covers up is how high the wires are. Ow! You can even see ... in the pictures how the wires dig into my armpit fat. I'm 5'1 and have a short torso for my height anyway, so maybe you won't have this problem, but on me, this definitely hurts after probably less than an hour of wear. This is probably the main reason why I have to mark this bra as not fitting me. Other reasons include the wires being too wide and not sitting in my IMF, but that happens with all of my bras.

My final note for this bra is that I love how the bottom of the cup is sewn. There are absolutely no decorative frills etc under it, and that makes it incredibly comfortable. With most bras, those decorative thrills roll up under the band on me and dig into my prominent rib fat. Not with this bra! Thanks, Panache Olivia!

Overall, I like this bra, and I'm going to keep it.

I am a fan of the type of bra that makes you feel strapped up and well supported, with a good projected shape and this delivers on all of those aspects. It's not the most comfortable bra just because the straps should be thicker and the band is quite a snug fit compared to other Panache bras that I have. If you need to look amazing in a tshirt this bra is your guy. The lace is really stretchy and comfortable but over time it's become a bit loose so take care to hand wash so you get a good amount of wear out of it.

Yeah. This bra was too small in the band and the wires hurt me extremely. When I added an (homemade) extender, the cups become a little too big, but wires were ok and didn't leave me those marks (last time I've got them for more than 2 days, now they are normal and disappear quickly). So I added a hook to the straps and this is it! The uplift is incredible! The fabric wrinkles a little but there is no empty space - this is because the cups are not meant to be this way. It gives me great uplift and is really comfy, though It 'wants' ... to be straight even when I wear it at an angle - after some moves the wires are at equal height and one boob flies above as usual. However it is really supportive for this higher one too.

I feel the tension on my trapezius muscles, especially that they bulked a little... I'm gonna try it wearing for next few days and we will see how it works for longer period of time.

I even like it's look when it is violet...

This bra is deceptive.

Because of the stretch lace, the bra may appear to fit when it doesn't. This bra is just slightly snug in the cup - as the day goes on it starts to feel kind of tight. Also, the horizontal seam is so thick as to give the bra a pointing appearance under some clothing.

I agree - if you buy this bra, size up in the cup. I can see how in the correct size, it must be fantastic.

I was so excited to get this bra in the mail today, as I already have an Envy and wanted to add another to my collection. The Envy is a great bra for me! I'm extremely full on top, and the Envy's stretch lace does an excellent job of keeping all of my tissue in the cups. However, there is space at the bottom of the cups, but with my extremely FOT shape and high roots, I've never had a bra where this hasn't happened to me. It isn't uncomfortable. The wires on the Envy are also too wide for my narrow-root breasts, but that's to be expected ... with UK bras. This also isn't uncomfortable.

I also love the high gore the Envy has. I have very soft breast tissue, so it tends to spill towards the center with bras with lower gores. Not a problem with the Envy! I can imagine that if your breasts were closer together than mine, though, this might be uncomfortable.

My one gripe with this bra, I would say, is the lacy material along the bottom of the cups, past the wires (which you can't even see on me because it rolls up under my rib fat, lol). I have very prominent rib fat, and so, this lace material rolls up on me, which is uncomfortable and kind of itchy. I like to wear liners under the wires of my bras, though, partially for issues like this.

The Envy gives a nice, round shape which I enjoy.

The Envy also runs true to size--I typically wear a 30H, and I wear a 30H with the Envy.

I would definitely recommend the Envy to people with similar breasts to mine! It's so, so comfortable, and it's one of my go-to bras on days where I have to be out for a long period of time.

Shape: projected, average roots, slightly narrow, close set, even fullness

Overall I love this bra. It offers a good amount of projection and the gore is low enough not to sit on my close set breasts. The wires are wide on me, so there is some wrinkling at the side, but personally its negligible and dosn't seem to be affecting my comfort or support. The top of the cup has a stretch lace with a stretchy mesh underneath. It does however feel a little closed so it may not be good for very full on top shapes, but it works well for my even fullness. The side support in ... the cup is a nice addition. I find that it gives me a slightly pointy shape, this may be a concern for some but I don't mind the shape it gives. Like most Panache bras it comes with 2 hooks in 3 rows, and while 3 hooks would have been nice I still find the band to be supportive.

The look of this bra is lovely. Its lacy design and pastel lilac colour are very pretty, and the gore has a nice matching lilac bow with a small shiny bead sewn on for good measure. I would recommend this bra to anyone with a similar shape to mine but it would work even better with a wider root.

Great bra! just purchased it and love the quality. I never thought I would like anything but a molded cup but this bra changed my mind. Great bra for those who are full on top.

I'm in between a 30 and 32 and this band runs pretty tight. I can get it to stretch to about 29" before it starts to distort the cups. I can wear it just fine with an extender. The cups seem to run small, although the stretchy lace on the top of the cup can hide that the cup is too small. It's a very comfortable bra and although I can sort of get away with it, I think it's at least a cup size too small. Because of that, it doesn't really support and stop me from bouncing as much as it probably should.

This is the purple colourway. It is quite tight in the back, moreso than my navy colourway.

It is a fairly natural shape, and the bra covers a fair bit of the chest.

I don't find that the lace cuts into my tissue, i have heard others say this though.

The bow in the middle of the bra did fall off after only 5 washes, which was a bit rubbish. Also, the elastic of the knickers has gotten old quickly - the elastic has become 'wavy' not straight like in the beginning!

Fits very comfortably. I was fitting in 32G/GG in other brands but this 30H fits perfectly around the underbust, so the band may run a little big. The cup is great and very forgiving. My left side is about a cup larger than the right side but they both look fine in this bra. I love the round shape it gives!

Most comfortable bra I own, stretch lace makes it ideal for my full-on-top shape.

I got this bra under the impression that I had to go up a size in Panache for this full cup style. Well, I had to go up two sizes; this cup was just not deep enough, and it didn't cover the top part of my breast enough; it fit me like a balcony style instead of a full cup. It is 12 inches in depth, and I need 13. It is in great shape; I wore it a few times to see if it could work, and it doesn't. I ended up ordering the 30HH, which fits perfectly! I added it to my page so you can compare the two sizes.

Anyone with large boobs will tell you finding a strapless bra that fits THEIR own boobs perfectly is HARD!

I read feedback on this bra and decided to go with the 30H. Was disappointed because the cups are way too wide for my boobs, since the cups are so stiff and fitted, my boobs just sit in the cups and support themselves instead of being supported by the cup. I think a 30G might fit better. Will try again when I have more $!

Comes with detachable multiway straps, so that is a plus. Mine is the nude color.

I really like this bra. It is one of the only bras I’ve found that holds everything in without any spillage over the top. It is comfortable until the end of the day when it can feel a bit tight. It is the only one I’ve found that gives me forward projection and holds everything up. The straps aren’t too wide, are fully adjustable and set in a good place for my narrow shoulders. The only downside is it’s colour but hey, everyone needs a neutral coloured bra to wear under light coloured clothing and even with the lace on top it doesn’t show through.

Not a great fit for me, too big now. When I bought it it fit okay but the cups are too 'full coverage' to work with most dresses I owned. Great quality, would work for someone looking for a 30H bra.

Bought for the wires but they were much too short.

When I first tried this bra on, I couldn't even fasten it, I had to use an extender. I tried trying it first thing in the morning, and then I was able to hook it. It was extremely tight, even when the cups were backwards, to the point of being painful if I move.
The cups fit mostly fine, they are filled okay, but the top lace gives me very light quadboob that I didn't even notice the first time I tried it. It's a shape thing, I tried wearing an extender, and the same thing happens. This bra pushes some of my tissue up, and the top ... lace is not stretchy, is very sturdy, and seems like it's made for shallower top, and even though I am less full on top, I am very very centre full, and the lace cuts into the centre top tissue. It's not uncomfortable or visible under clothes.
The gore is really high, and I don't know if that's a problem yet, since I haven't been able to wear it for a long time. I have a three hook extender, but the hooks are not spaced the same, so I used it just to try the bra on, but I'll need to buy one that is properly spaced.
Overall it looks good, it's very sturdy. The lace in general is very hard, and unlike other bras, the lace at the gore prevents the wires from bending, which happens to me a lot with high gores since I'm very close set.
