Panache Women's Ana Non-Padded Plunge Underwire Bra (9396)

For the first time in my life, taking off my bra isn’t the #1 way I get comfy. In fact, when I do on habit, I immediately put the bra back on because I’m more comfortable wearing it. As a large-busted woman, I never expected that to be a thing.If you haven’t already, google “ABraThatFits” and “Reddit” and check out the amazing subreddit full of knowledge and helpful people. Once I learned how bras actually should fit, I realized none of my bras ever had fit or supported me properly. Understanding there is more to bra support than what Victoria Secret tells you was a game changer.The subreddit helped me understand bras and breasts better, which led me to this one. I tried on both 34FF and 36F through Try Before you Buy, ultimately finding the 36F fit me best. The bra is beautiful and well made, though I haven’t had it long so I don’t know how it’ll hold up to regular wear long term.The ABraThatFits calculator put me at 36F and I found that fit best here. Though I’ve heard the Ana Plunge (also called Ava Plunge) runs small in the cup. My breasts are pendulous (“saggy”/I have breastfed) with soft tissue, and narrow roots. It was a touch hard getting used to this bra because my breasts looked visually smaller when compared to my previous bras with too-large cup sizes. But when in a cup that actually fits pendulous breasts, I have insane lift and effortless cleavage. Not “smashed together and upward” cleavage, but like “lifted and separated” cleavage. Without any pulling on my straps, or band digging into my torso.The wires on this are still a touch too wide for me, but better than anything else I’ve tried. The gore (center part between cups) can dig a bit into my sternum, but when I take the outer sides of the wires and push them more forward (so they don’t push into armpits) that angles the gore so it doesn’t dig, and provides a better fit.All in all, this works great for me, but your breasts will be different. Understand your breasts and try a lot of bras. Good luck!

This bra is super comfortable and flattering. This is my 2nd bra by this brand, cannot go wrong with a purchase from them!

I love this bra and it comes in so many colors! The lace plunge feels sexy but still supportive. The fit on this one is pretty true to size. My only issue is I have to adjust the straps every time I put it on because the adjuster don’t always stay in place

I wanted so badly to fit into this because it was so pretty and the quality felt great! This was my first attempt at finding my actual size, going from ill-fitting 32Ds to a UK 28FF, based off of calculations from the subreddit ABraThatFits. But since your shape is just as important as your size, it can affect how things actually fit and this was just a starting point for me. I’m still trying to find the right cup size/style that works for me, but a 28 band definitely feels great. Being more close-set myself, the gore was short and narrow enough to not get in the way, which was great!I think I have average/higher projection but I’m not sure about top vs. bottom fullness, so maybe that’s why the sizing was off for me. The cups were just a tad too big, and I would’ve loved to size down but they’re out of stock :( I’ll still be on the lookout if it becomes available again, and definitely when it’s on sale! 5 stars because the fit issues were not because of anything wrong with the bra.

Black option shows a different color in pic but I ordered anyway and got black. Fits true to size. Nice low cut in the front but still lays flat on sternum.

ordered a 34F. Wow what a fit on my all natural size. I typically wear a DDD and went for the F. The only thing i would change if i could would be from 2 hooks to 3 or 4. But other than that...perfect. Will be getting more.

This bra made my babies (38H) look fantastic! Great support. Comfortable short term.Gorgeous looking, perfect deep plunge.Within a couple hours the wire on the side pushes into the skin. Gets uncomfortable.I suggest the well endowed only wear for a short, 'fun', time and maybe not move too much in it ONLY because of the side wire.The bra holds up well, shapes breast well, supports well.

A lovely and comfortable bra! In this size it has enough plunge for me although it's not the lowest. I love that the wire channels overlap at the gore - heaven for my close-set boobs.The cups are made of stretch lace which provides a forgiving fit. The lower cups are lined with non-stretch tulle for support and there are side slings made of a double layer of tulle. These aren't problematic for me but might be if my tissue was softer than it is.Straps are fully adjustable. They look a little unfinished where they join the cup. Maybe some kind of lace detail at the junction would have been prettier.The back is one layer of mesh which promises to be pretty stretchy over time. I wear a 34 or 36 band. I'm wearing this with an extender currently, but only need about 1/2" of it so I'm glad I got the 34.I agree with others that this is not the most center-full-friendly bra. I am slightly center full and I get a little bit of quadding at the gore. It's barely noticeable though.I don't have monthly fluctuations in size, but this would be a good bra for those who do. Just make sure the cup really fits, as the stretch lace can mask a cup that fits too small. I received the 34FF in the same order as this one. When I first tried that one I thought it fit, but then when I tried this size it was much more comfortable. Try your usual size and a size up if possible.

Good bra but the wires dig in a bit after a 12 hour day in the field.

Best fitting bra I’ve ever had! Perfect for close set, projected breasts.

Everyone raves about Panache bras for trying to find their "bra that fits," so I was excited to try one of their bras. There is a piece of fabric on the inside of each cup which pressed my breast tissue forward. I think it is there to project the breasts forward, but it just made the tissue balloon outward at the edge of the fabric. It was a very unappealing shape...It could probably be solved with a bigger cup size, so consider getting a few options to try if your heart is set on this bra. I returned it and am not planning on repurchasing one of this model, though.

fit perfectly when I first purchased but after hand washing X2 it shrank beyond wearable.I own serveral Panache pieces, including 4 bras and have never experienced this problem. perhaps the type of lace in this peticular bra should not be used. I'm very sad that I am unable to request a replacement as my time for return ran out.

Lovely lacy bra which fitted well. Very nice colour. Wrong size sent but was quickly replaced. Would recommend.
