Very pretty and fits well
I really like it. The color is really nice and a beautiful silhouette. I have DDDs and the bra really shapes my breasts nicely – holds them in on the sides and pushes them up nice and perky. The straps aren’t wide but they are comfortable. The center gore is positioned so it lies flat and keeps me comfortably encapsulated; no odd gap. I would definitely purchase again.

Another quality Panache bra–perhaps the most easy-going of the bunch
A few years ago a fitter I’d worked with on several occasions remarked, “In a selection of 100 bras, most people can take their pick of 99 of them that fit well. You…well, you have to search for the one.” And then came trying to bra shop during a pandemic. My usual Panache styles that fit at other sizes, both smaller and larger, are just not working anymore…except for the Clara. Clara has always been a “nice” fit for me–easy to wear, fits properly, keeps tissue out of my armpits while not being so far out there like Jasmine. Most bras I have found are not easy for me to wear, but Clara seems to cover a multitude of sins while looking classy and feeling supportive.In sizes 36F and FF, it has pretty decent projection/depth at the wire, more so on the outer edges of the cup rather than in the center. The charcoal/black 36FF I’m currently wearing has an odd flat spot in the fabric panel that meets the center gore. It seems this panel is proportionately more shallow than the rest of the cup, but that could be a fluke (or just me). The cups/wires and straps are not excessively wide. One aspect of the Clara that has spoiled me is the cups are not too tall or open on the top. It’s sort of shaped like a full cup, but scaled down to not be a shirt. The 36F has fully adjustable straps; the 36FF has padded straps that are partially adjustable. The construction of the 36FF feels significantly more substantial/secure than the cup size down; both sizes have three columns of two hooks to fasten in the back.Panache is a UK brand that will not work if you’re using the goofy American “add 4 inches to your band size” matrix sizing. Using the calculator from A Bra That Fits will get you pretty close to the size you need, although you’ll probably still have some trial/error to get the band and cup just right.

Everything the Envy isn’t
The Panache Clara is everything that I was looking for in the Envy. I wear a 30F. I use to wear a 34 or something C but I was having back pain and realized I was wearing a very skewed size. If you’re not already aware, the average bust is *not* in the A-C range. The average bust, even those considered “small” are usually within the D+ range even for petite women. It is very rare to have a true A-C cup if you are wearing the proper band size.===Fit===I would describe the fit as average gore, narrow underwire, projected, full on bottom, and full on top or equal fullness on top. Whereas with the Envy I had the constant issue of my nipples sticking through the lace I don’t seem to have that issue with this one.==Comfort==It’s pretty much the same as the Envy. I’m very disappointed with the texture of Panache bras. If I have to spend almost 100 USD on a bra it should at least be comfortable and not feel like I’m wearing a bush.===Support===I can tell they put a lot of effort into the design and it works. If you look carefully there are different pieces sown together that allow the support to be distributed well. It takes away all of my breast induced back pain. I’m not sure if I’m the only one that has this but I found when I don’t wear a bra or if I wear a bra that isn’t supportive enough it makes it hard to breathe. I can’t tell you how freeing it is to be able to actually breathe normally again. With the envy it kind of takes that away but something about the design of the clara in particular really fixes that issue for me. I think because the lining is a little stiffer because of the multitoned lace which I really needed.===Fabric===While the inner fabric is softer than the Envy, the fabric is still low quality and irritating to my skin. It feels nice to my hands but not to the skin on my body. I don’t really care about materials unless it affects how I am able to use an item but in this case it makes it uncomfortable for daily use. The only bras I’ve found that have comfortable soft fabric that doesn’t irritate my skin are molded bras but I can’t wear those because due to my particular shape it causes fit issues. I also can’t wear bras without an underwire because I have soft tissue pendulous breasts. If Panache wants to make a bra for projected breasts with soft fabric id buy it in a heart beat but honestly considering the sensitivity of breasts I think that should be a staple especially for such an expensive bra.===Style===This bra is GORGEOUS. I got the Navy and I love the symmetry and the contrast of the peachy white color with the dark blue. The patterns are very classy and feminine.Overall, I love this bra. It’s very hard to find bras that fit my shape so unfortunately I have to deal with Panache’s itchy uncomfortable fabrics for awhile. I am looking at other brands but they don’t tend to have the same return policy which I find very important for bras since they are finicky. Hopefully I can either find a fabric softener I’m not allergic to or a narrow rooted projected brand that has soft fabrics…

Trial and error
Took a while to find the right fit but man these bras are nice. Wash and hang dry you’ll notice it loosens up just a little and feels so much better then when it’s new since they should be snug. Looks great feels great love this brand

Well…
I have never bought this brand bra before…I am a 38 J UK sizing..sized up in band sizes to be safe..this bra is gorgeous ð ..it does fit..you will definitely have to do a little force work adjusting the straps as tight as a woman my size needs..it is very soft..butttt it just doesn’t seem to have the quality of other brands for big chests..after a few hours of wearing the wires were stabbing me and the outline seams are pretty scratchy/itchy..I will wear this for the “sexy feeling” that it gives..but that’s probably going to be it…

Fantastic bra and gorgeous
Lace is elastic, color is brilliant, offers my 38 j (38 O in American) great support and coverage. My bra has lasted longer than any other ive bought too. It could be luck but so far. I am super happy. (I go 38j or 38k. Depending on style and company. You should measure vs going with what works for me or someone else. Just as a note)

The absolute best bra Iâve ever owned hands down. It fits perfectly, great for full on bottom breast sizes. Get fitted properly. Most people arenât in the standard a-d sizing. So soft, washes well, the lace is gorgeous. Hoping for another price drop so I can snag another colour.

Ordered 30E but was too small and ordered in 30F. The 30F delivered to me had laces that were frayed way more than the 30E. The condition of the lace of the 30E was a lot better than the 30F. This is the reason for the low rating. I had to snip off some of the frayed lace at the top of cups because of this. Wished the product delivered was in better conditionâ¦
