Product Information
Full details
The Panache Envy Full Cup Wired Bra is a foundational garment designed for D+ cup sizes, offering a balance of sophisticated aesthetics and heavy-duty support for daily wear. It features a combination of laminated bottom cups for structure and stretch lace top cups for an accommodating fit, ensuring excellent projection and shape. While it excels in uplift and comfort, the reliance on hand-washing and delicate lace detailing requires a more intentional care routine than standard machine-washable bras.

FAQs
Can I machine wash my Panache Envy bra?
No, hand washing is highly recommended. Machine agitation and heat can damage the lace, straps, and hardware.
What does 'D+' sizing mean?
This refers to bra sizes ranging from D cup and up, which require specialized engineering like side slings and powermesh to provide proper support.
Why do the top cups use stretch lace?
Stretch lace is used to accommodate different breast shapes and natural fluctuations in size, providing a smoother transition without cutting into the tissue.
Does the bra provide a rounded or pointed shape?
The Envy is designed to provide a centered, lifted, and rounded silhouette thanks to the combination of the laminated cups and side slings.
Can I tumble dry this bra if I use the low heat setting?
No, you should never tumble dry this bra, even on low heat, as the heat can break down the elastic components and damage the metal rings.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the straps are fully extended to your comfort level; if they continue to dig, check that the band size is snug enough to take the weight of the bust rather than the straps.
Lace appearing wrinkled or loose
This often occurs if the cup size is too large; ensure your measurement is current as the stretch lace is intended to lie flat against the skin.
Wires poking at the sides
This may indicate the bra is not being pulled high enough in the underarm area, or the band size may be slightly too large to keep the wires anchored.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the underwire sits firmly against your rib cage and the gore (the center piece between the cups) lies flat against your sternum. The bra should be hand-washed in cool water using a gentle detergent to preserve the elasticity of the lace and the strength of the powermesh. Never place this bra in a tumble dryer, as the high heat will damage the straps, rings, and the integrity of the elastic components. Lay the bra flat or hang it by the gore to air dry away from direct sunlight.
