Panache Women's Envy Balconnet Bra

This bra is pretty and holds large breasts securely without looking like, what I call, a “mommy bra.” It fits true to size and is comfortable.

I originally bought this in Chai at an in-person physical store in my city, and was surprised how perfectly it fit to my shape. I have a pendulous droopy chest that normally bra fittings say I'm 32DD, but this time I was advised to size up to 32E, and it was perfect. It does not squeeze or squish but it supports perfectly. The underwire is hard but it actually fits perfectly and doesn't float or hover away from the body, which this is the first time I've experienced that since other bras I've ever had always float over and cause my chest to have skin-on-skin contact. Also the wire actually separates the cleavage so I no longer get cleavage sweat. It's super breathable, though if you don't like lace texture or very sensitive skin, it can be a little scratchy, but I will take it over boobsweat. I ended up buying it here on Amazon in white and black, for half the cost of the one I bought at the physical store I went to (where it was about $80). I can confirm they are the same, or looks/feels like it at least. So probably better to buy online than in-store, however it's best to TRY it in-store so you can be sure which size to get and if you like the feel.

Dang, that is a sexy holster. Not much give or stretch and the lace is a little delicate, but it is lace, after all. It's nicely tailored, typical for this brand, and supported well for a rare size (and these girls are real and heavy). I'm grateful for anyone carrying 28 and/or 30 inch bands!

Fits well. Good support for heavy breasts. Nice shaping. Makes you feel lighter. Good quality material. The wires do come up a little higher than some, but is kinda necessary the larger the bra size.

Not for me. The cup seemed to fit OK, but very little support. Very wide set straps and they were skinny and weak. Which is just silly for this size. The band was tight for the sizing.

I'm a 32G (32F in UK/Panache sizing) so it's hard to find bras that are my size and offer good support while also not looking industrial. This is the first time I've tried a side support bra and I kind of love it - no armpit spillage. I have east-west breasts, so for those who don't, the gore might come a little high. But works great for me. The shape is also nice - nice moderate lift, good support especially at the bottom of the cup, not pointy, and the seams actually prevent nipple show. I wasn't sure if my breasts would be too shallow for this style but the cups fit perfectly, and the lace stretches just enough to be forgiving. It's also really pretty :) And at a fantastic price. Definitely recommend. Having to exercise lots of self control not to buy another one in a different color!

I ordered this bra despite the high cost because of Panache’s reputation, but what I received was completely unacceptable, there was a visible blood splatter on one of the cups. It's shocking and deeply unhygienic that something in this condition could be shipped.I contacted Amazon customer service twice. The representatives I spoke with were kind, supportive, and genuinely tried to help. They reached out to Panache since it's a third-party seller, but I never received any response from them — no return instructions, no apology, nothing.After over a week of silence, I contacted Amazon support a third time. Thankfully, they were able to issue me a refund without requiring a return. I'm grateful for their help, but this should never have dragged on this long, especially with a health and hygiene issue involved.This experience has completely soured me on purchasing from Panache or this seller again. Not only was the product unhygienic and unwearable, but the lack of response or accountability from the brand is inexcusable. For the cost, I expected far better, both in product and in customer care.Avoid unless you want to pay premium prices for unacceptable quality and zero support.Please note in the picture that the stain is lessened. To make sure that it was blood, I poured rubbing alcohol on it and the stain turned bright red. Sorry for the poor lighting.

All the bras I own now are by Panache, and for a good reason--they make a real range of sizes because apparently they know how bra sizing works in the UK. US sizes rarely go above a DD, but the band keeps going up. Before, I always wore way too big of a band size and too small a cup, it was NEVER flattering, my boobs always looked bad, and sexy bras were not an option because I would bust out of DD cups if I wore anything but a sports bra.But this bra is very sexy. Sorry to get graphic but--what you want a bra to do is get all of the breast tissue including from the sides near your underarms perfectly into each cup, with the underwire all the way to the gore sitting flatly against your chest. I was able to accomplish this with this sizing. It took some getting used to having the band more snug than I was used to (the band should provide the most support, not the straps!) This br's look and fit is super flattering and has given me the confidence to wear things I never used to wear. You don't want to wear wide neck tops with a big ugly sports bra strap. You don't want a uniboob with a form hugging cocktail dress! So I'm very happy. They aren't cheap, but it's worth the transformation. If you can, order several close sizes and sister sizes and send back what doesn't work.I say this fit as expected because I expected the size I chose (36FF) to describe the bra's UK size. In the US I would be a 36H or I normally. I've never seen that in a store.Thanks, Panache, for having sexy options for us bustier ladies!
