I have the Envy in both Black and Nude (or Beige?).

Compared to the Andorra (I often hear this one is a hybrid Andorra/Jasmine), this one definitely feels a bit more structured, due to the 3-part cup construction and the firmer fabric panels in the cup, but it is still very comfortable. I really like the support (and this type of 3 part construction with the side panel going into the strap as it brings my breasts in and up a bit more).

I have had a bilateral mastectomy with implant reconstruction so filling out the ends of cups can be hard at times; I need shallower cups as I don't have a lot of projection, but I am quite even on both top and bottom. I have the slightest bit of space at the end of the Envy where the seam is and my breasts don't quite project out far enough, but it is not enough to bother me or affect the fit overall. The wires embrace around my implants perfectly, so I can overlook a bit of empty space (and just avoid form fitting shirts with this bra!) as that is my main goal with bras these days.

While my breasts are pretty round to begin with, this bra does give me a more rounded and uplifted look than the Andorra does. It does appear to make my breasts look a little larger when wearing the bra alone, but this may be in part just due to the bra style and amount of fabric. They don't seem to uplift or round them out anymore than my Porcelaine Viva (which has effect of almost making me look a bit smaller when I am just in the bra).

The band is very snug and less stretchy than my Porcelaine Viva or Andorra (I measure 29" snugly). Still, I like a rather firm band so this is a pro for me.

Only one complaint is that the top of the gore dug a bit at first. I think this is in part as the band on this one is very snug as I normally don't have much issue with higher centre gores. I bent the top of the wires and no more issues.
