Since AW2013 - Non-padded balconette bra with side panel and stretch lace in the upper part of the cup. More...
Official websiteThis fits well and is comfortable, but my softness in this balconette makes me feel like I'm carrying bowls of Jell-O. Also, this bra and the fact that I'm more comfortable with a J-hook makes me realize I have narrow, sloping shoulders.

This bra fits okay. It cuts higher than I'd like under my armpits. I also prefer 3 hooks and this only has 2. It gives my breasts an odd angular shape from top down. The cups are deep enough and don't not cut into my upper breast tissue.
I am close set, center and top full, projected, wide roots.

Cups not deep enough for the amount of projection I have. Wires too tall and wide. Fabric is more structured, but all this gets me is tissue fold-over near my tail of spence region. The straps are only partially adjustable. High roots beware. The lace on the band ends at the middle of the cup. Kind of odd. Not bowled over by the feel of the fabric used.

The wires are all up in my armpits. Sheesh. I know my roots are high on my chest, but damn. The wires are too tall AND too wide. Definitely not enough immediate projection for me either. My tissue is doing the little fold over thing at the outside of the cup. The construction is pretty rigid, though, so I will give it that. The fabric is certainly not the softest I've felt, sensory issues beware, but it makes sense with the amount of structure it has. The lace trim on the band also doesn't go all the way around. It awkwardly stops midway under the cups.

Staps feel rather firm and scratchy and the gore does not tac.

This is one of my go-to bras!! It's such a great fit. One of my two staple bras I have plans to buy in every colour! I have to size down in the band as I prefer a firmer band. I am on my third set of hooks for that stern support envy gives. I have owned it since January of 2021.

I recently purchased the Envy again after out growing my 32E (which I sometimes would still wear!). The navy 34E is very comfortable, only getting a little irritating under the arms after hours of wear, where it's a little high cut for me at the front of the underarm. The Envy (along with the Jasmine and Hettie) have been some of my most reliable, well-fitting bras. The gores tack beautifully, and the stretch lace doesn't cut into soft tissue at the top edge. It's also very forgiving of weight/size fluctuations. The shape it gives me is very front, center, and projected.
I have a light nude one as well, but that one is SO scratchy and uncomfortable to wear in comparison, and from the get-go!
For reference, I am very projected at the IMF, projected at the center/gore, somewhat center-full, pendulous/non-self-supporting, and softer tissue.

This bra is very similar to Elomi Tia which is as close to a good fit as I can get with narrow roots, FOB. The only issue I have is that it's pinching in my upper armpit area.

This is a very pretty bra. The color is just stunning. Unfortunately, I'm not keeping it. The bra while it was a small feat to get the band to hook, once it was on the band was snug but comfortable. It feels like a band that will stretch out quickly, though. So I say it'd end up feeling more like a 36 band in a couple weeks. The cups however are just too small. The wires are way too wide which I think causes this double quadboob effect where I quad at the seam where the bottom of the cup meets the top lace panel and then again at the top of the lace. If the wires were the narrower all the fabric on the side would be placed more towards the front and would eliminate this problem. I'm tempted to try this again in a 36K to see if the quading would lessen but then the band would get too loose too quickly. I just wish the wires were narrower.

Oddly, the gore doesn't bother me as much with a smaller band (I tried 32F last week), I mean, I can feel it's there, but I think I could wear this bra all day.
The cups seems bigger than 32F, but they should be the same size - maybe they just appear bigger with the smaller band.
Now that I have 30FF, I would like to try 30G, but I didn't order that size, haha.
Cups seem good, I'm not "quad-boobing," but I wish I could compare to a 30G.
30 seems like the correct band size for me in the Panache Envy series, firm but I can still breathe.
