Panache sits in a specific position in the Brava range: the brand that offers the right structural foundations at an accessible price. Where Prima Donna and Empreinte are investment purchases, Panache delivers firm underwires, deep cup construction, and a D–K cup size run at a price that makes it practical as an everyday wardrobe bra rather than an occasional purchase. It's why Panache is the first brand many Brava fitters reach for when fitting a new customer — the range is broad, the sizing is consistent, and the price means getting the right fit doesn't require significant expense.
What Panache does well
Panache bras use firm, relatively rigid underwires that maintain their position through a full day of wear. The cups are structured rather than soft — they hold their shape under load rather than flexing with the breast. This firmness means Panache bras benefit from a break-in period of several wears before they reach their most comfortable fit, which is worth knowing if you're trying Panache for the first time and finding the first few days slightly snug. Once broken in, the construction maintains its shape far longer than softer-built alternatives.
Cup shapes across the range suit a wide variety of bust proportions. The Envy Full Cup and Balcony styles accommodate both projected and softer bust shapes through their multi-section cup construction. The Ana Plunge runs to J cup with a projected cup design for women wanting a lower neckline at larger cup sizes. The Faith is one of the most reliable strapless bras at larger cup sizes in the market.
Size fit notes
Panache sizing is generally true to size and consistent across their range. Their wires are on the wider side — which suits most bust widths at larger cup sizes but can sit slightly outside the breast tissue on a petite or narrow frame. If you have a smaller or narrower chest wall, it's worth checking with our fitting team before ordering, as Polish brands like Ewa Michalak or Samanta may suit a narrower frame better at the same cup size.
