Panache is a UK lingerie brand renowned for supporting fuller busts with precise sizing and stylish designs. They pride themselves on delivering bras, briefs, swimwear and activewear that provide comfort, lift and elegance. Keep reading to discover sizing guides, style tips and care advice.

Panache, established in 1982 in the UK by Anthony Power, has grown from a garage-based startup into a globally recognised, family-run lingerie brand. Centred on delivering exceptional fit for fuller busts, Belle Lingerie offers an extensive range of Panache lingerie, swimwear and activewear. Panache is renowned for its accurate sizing and supportive fit, catering for D - K cup sizes and 28" - 40" band sizes across lingerie and swimwear. They’ve developed distinctive sub-brands to meet diverse needs, such as Sculptresse by Panache, which uses exactly the same sizing as the rest of Panache's products.

Panache Band and Cup Sizing

Panache uses UK band and cup sizing, which may differ from the sizing systems used in other countries.

If you are a UK based customer and are unsure of your current bra size, click here for a detailed guide on how to measure your bra size at home. Panache recommend regular bra fittings to ensure you're always wearing the right size for optimal support and comfort.

If you're an international customer, simply find your usual size along your country's row on the size chart, and then refer to the equivalent UK size listed at the top of the column. This UK size is the one you’ll use when selecting your Panache bra. UK band sizes are measured in inches, as opposed to centimetres.

For example: If you normally wear a France 70, the UK equivalent is a 28, so you would choose 28 when shopping Panache bras. It is the exact same for cup sizes, for example if you are a France E, the UK equivalent is a DD so you would choose size DD when shopping Panache bras.

Panache Briefs & Bikini Briefs Sizing

Working out your brief size is much more straightforward than finding your bra size. Panache briefs and bikini briefs follow UK sizing, ranging from a size 6 to 32. To find your fit, simply look for your usual size in your country’s row on the size chart, then trace upwards to find the matching UK size. That’s the one to use when selecting your Panache briefs.

Panache Bra Shapes & Styles

Panache provides a diverse range of bra styles and shapes, each designed to meet different needs and preferences. Below are some of their key options, along with their specific functions:

Full Coverage Bra Styles

Designed for maximum support and coverage, ideal for larger busts or those wanting full comfort and security.

Full Cup Bra - Provides the fullest amount of coverage by fully encasing the breast tissue, ensuring excellent support and minimising movement. Ideal for larger busts, this style helps distribute weight evenly to reduce shoulder and back strain while delivering a smooth, secure fit that enhances confidence.

High Apex Bra - Features a unique high-cut cup design that seamlessly blends into the shoulder strap, offering extended coverage along the upper bust. This style shapes and supports the bust without excessive padding, providing a modern, comfortable fit with excellent lift and stability. Perfect for those who want a stylish alternative to traditional full cups.

Nursing Bra - Thoughtfully constructed for breastfeeding mothers, nursing bras provide full coverage and soft, stretchy fabrics to accommodate changing breast sizes. The easy-access drop-down cups simplify feeding, while ensuring comfort and support during pregnancy and postpartum.

Sports Bra - Designed to offer maximum support during physical activity, sports bras feature wide straps, strong elastic bands and moisture-wicking materials. These bras minimise bounce, protect breast tissue and maintain comfort during high-intensity workouts or sports, making them a crucial choice for active lifestyles.

Medium Coverage Bra Styles

Balancing support with style, these bras offer moderate coverage that shapes and lifts without feeling restrictive, making them versatile for everyday wear.

Balcony Bra - With a neckline that sits horizontally across, balcony bras lift the bust from below, creating a rounded, natural shape. Offering less coverage than full cups, they reveal a flattering amount of skin while maintaining strong support, making them perfect for both work-wear and evening outfits.

Moulded Bra - Designed with smooth, pre-formed cups, moulded bras offer seamless shaping that enhances the natural silhouette. The foam or non-padded cups hold their shape even when not worn, providing a rounded, defined look that’s invisible under clothes. Ideal for fitted tops and dresses requiring a polished finish.

T-Shirt Bra - A staple for everyday comfort and invisibility, t-shirt bras feature smooth, seamless cups that lie flat against the skin to avoid lines or bulges. With subtle shaping and soft fabrics, they provide light to moderate support while maintaining a natural look under close-fitting clothing, making them a wardrobe essential.

Strapless Bra - Engineered to stay securely in place without straps, strapless bras rely on strong underbands for hold. This style offers moderate to full coverage and support, enabling you to confidently wear off-the-shoulder, one-shoulder or strapless outfits without compromising lift or shape.

Low Coverage Bra Styles

Perfect for outfits with plunging necklines or when a lighter feel is desired, low coverage bras provide minimal coverage with enhanced shaping.

Plunge Bra - Featuring a deeper centre front, plunge bras are designed to accommodate low-cut tops and dresses while creating cleavage-enhancing lift. This style sculpts and supports the bust with less fabric, allowing for daring necklines without sacrificing comfort or support

Caring for Panache Lingerie

Proper care is crucial to keep your Panache lingerie and swimwear looking their best and maintaining a perfect fit. Here are a few tips Panache suggest that you follow:

Hand wash your bra every 2 – 3 wears, using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. We recommend that you use Soak Wash, which is available to purchase on the Belle Lingerie website. Soak is a rinse-free, eco-friendly soap made for delicate fabrics. It gently cleans without stretching or fading, and there's no need to rinse- just soak, lightly squeeze and let dry. It’s available in a variety of beautiful scents, plus a fragrance-free option, perfect for busy routines.

After washing, dry your bra flat- Avoid hanging the bra by the straps. Instead, hang by the centre or lay it flat to preserve the shape.

Store bras flat in your drawer rather than folding or crushing them.

Rotate between at least three everyday bras to extend their lifespan and maintain support.
