Sculptresse

Sculptresse is part of the Panache group, and shares its parent brand's engineering DNA: sturdy wires, firm construction, and a size range (12–22 band, D–HH cup) specifically designed for fuller, curvier figures. The design direction is younger and more colourful than Panache — Sculptresse leans into bold prints and vibrant shades rather than classic neutrals — but the underlying construction is equally reliable.

What Sculptresse does well

Sculptresse excels at non-moulded bras for larger band sizes. Their cup construction uses firmer, non-stretch fabric with careful seaming that lifts and separates without flattening — a good option for women who find moulded foam cups uncomfortable at larger cup sizes or who prefer a more natural shape. The Elegance Spacer Bra (their moulded option) provides a smooth everyday profile for those who do want a T-shirt bra aesthetic.

Fit note: Sculptresse runs slightly larger in the cup than some brands at comparable sizes, which is worth factoring in if you're switching from Panache in the same size. Most Brava fitters would suggest trying your usual size first, then going down a cup if needed.

The Sculptresse range at Brava

The core range covers everyday bras, including full-cup styles like the Estel and balcony options. Sculptresse also produces one of the more reliable strapless bras for larger band sizes. Browse Panache for the parent brand's wider range, Elomi for comparable construction with a deeper wire at larger cup sizes, or Goddess for a similar value positioning with a fuller-coverage profile.
