Full details

The Panache Clara Underwired Full Cup Bra is designed for adults seeking reliable support and a flattering silhouette, particularly for fuller busts. It provides a structured, uplifting fit through its unique four-section cup construction and internal side sling, making it an excellent choice for daily wear. While it offers superior containment and comfort, users should be aware that it requires careful hand washing and must not be tumble dried to preserve the integrity of the elastic components and hardware.

FAQs

Is this bra padded?

No, the Panache Clara features lined bottom cups for support but does not include foam padding or push-up inserts.

Can I put this bra in the washing machine?

While hand washing is strongly recommended, if you must use a machine, place the bra in a protective mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle, but never tumble dry.

What does the 'four-section' cup mean?

This refers to the way the fabric is stitched together to create the cup shape, allowing for better structural support and a more anatomical fit for a fuller bust.

Does the lace top cup stretch?

Yes, the lace is designed with a degree of stretch, which helps it accommodate small differences in breast shape and prevents digging at the neckline.

Is the underwire uncomfortable?

The underwire is designed to sit flat against the body. If you feel pinching, ensure your cup size is correct and that the wire is resting in your natural inframammary fold.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels tight in the band

Ensure you are using the loosest hooks initially, or check if your band size is appropriate by performing the 'finger test' to ensure it is not too restrictive.

Lace puckering or feeling loose

Check that the breast tissue is properly scooped and centered into the bottom of the cup, ensuring the side sling is flat against the ribcage.

Straps slipping off shoulders

Adjust the strap sliders to tighten the fit, or ensure the straps are positioned correctly on your shoulders and not set too wide.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent support and lift for fuller busts
  • Stretch lace prevents the 'cutting in' effect at the top of the cup
  • Underwire offers reliable shaping and separation
  • Available in a wide range of sizes up to a J cup
  • High-quality construction with durable power mesh wings

Cons

  • Requires careful hand washing to maintain elasticity
  • Not suitable for tumble drying
  • No padding in the cups might not suit those looking for added volume
  • Decorative straps require occasional adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, always hook the bra on the loosest setting when new, allowing the band to stretch naturally over time before moving to tighter hooks. Given the inclusion of underwiring and specialized lace, machine washing can deform the frame; therefore, gentle hand washing in cool water is recommended. Never place this bra in a tumble dryer, as high heat will compromise the spandex in the power mesh and damage the decorative adjusters on the straps. Lay the garment flat or hang it by the gore to air dry away from direct sunlight.
