Panache Bras: Full-Bust Support, Actually Engineered For It
Panache is a full-bust specialist. Where most brands start at a D cup and stop, Panache builds bras up to a K cup — with the sectioned cups, wide bands and reinforced wings that a fuller bust genuinely needs, rather than a scaled-up smaller bra.
Below: the Panache bra collections worth knowing (Panache, Cleo, Sculptress, Sport and Swim), how to read Panache sizing against your usual UK or US size, and which style fits which need — from the award-winning sports bras to the everyday t-shirt bras.
What are Panache bras known for?
Panache is a British full-bust lingerie brand known for supportive, well-fitting bras in cup sizes D through K. Its ranges split by need: Panache and Cleo by Panache for everyday and fashion styles, Panache Sculptress for plus-size fuller figures, Panache Sport for award-winning high-impact sports bras, and Panache Swim for bra-sized swimwear. Panache uses UK sizing, so a US DDD is roughly a UK E and a US G is roughly a UK F — check the conversion before you order. Shop Panache bras, sports bras and swimwear at HauteFlair.
The Panache collections, decoded
Five ranges, each cut for a different need — here's which one you're actually looking for.
| Range | Built for | Signature styles |
|---|---|---|
| Panache | Everyday support and comfort, D–J cups | Andorra full cup, Envy, Porcelain Elan t-shirt bra |
| Cleo by Panache | Younger, bolder fashion styles for full busts | Jasmine, Clara, Piper, Hettie balconettes |
| Panache Sculptress | Plus-size fuller figures, up to a K cup | Chi Chi balconette, Sculptress full cup |
| Panache Sport | High-impact sports bras for D cup and up | Ultimate underwire, wireless moulded sports bra |
| Panache Swim | Bra-sized swimwear with real support | Anya balconette bikini, one-piece, tankini |
Panache size conversion: UK to US
Panache is a UK brand, so the cup letters don't map straight onto US sizing. Here's the translation.
| UK cup (Panache) | US equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| D | D | Same up to D — the systems diverge above it |
| DD | DD | Still aligned |
| E | DDD / F | Where US and UK start to split |
| F | G | UK F is one letter behind US G |
| FF | H | The UK "double" letters have no US equivalent |
| G | H / I | Varies slightly by brand chart |
| GG–K | I and up | Full-bust territory — always check the chart |
Band sizes are the same number in both systems (a 34 is a 34), so only the cup letter shifts. The practical rule: if you wear a US DDD, start at a UK E in Panache; if you wear a US G, start at a UK F. Because Panache cuts for full busts specifically, many people find they size differently here than in a standard-range brand — use the fit guide and the brand's own size chart rather than assuming your usual letter carries over.

The HauteFlair StandardThe complete Panache guide
Sizing, the sports range, swimwear, the popular styles and how to care for them.
01Panache sizing, and how it runs+
Panache is British, so it uses UK cup lettering. The two things to know:
- Bands match: a 32, 34, 36 band is the same number in both UK and US.
- Cups diverge above DD: UK adds E, F, FF, G, GG before H, so a UK letter sits behind the US one from DDD up.
- Quick starting points: US DDD ≈ UK E, US G ≈ UK F, US H ≈ UK FF.
Because Panache cuts specifically for full busts, the fit often differs from a standard-range brand at the same nominal size. Treat the conversion as a starting point and check the size chart for the specific style — cup depth varies between balconette and full-cup shapes.
02Panache Sport: what makes it different+
Panache Sport is the range most people arrive for, and for good reason — it's built for D cup and up, where most sports bras give out:
- Encapsulation, not compression: each breast gets its own moulded cup, which controls bounce far better than a flattening shelf at full-bust sizes.
- Wired and wireless options: the Ultimate underwire for maximum support, the moulded wireless for comfort during intense movement.
- Real band and strap engineering: wide, cushioned straps and multi-hook backs that hold up to high-impact activity.
It regularly turns up in "best sports bra for big busts" roundups because it solves the actual problem: support without the four-sports-bra-layering trick.
03Panache Swim: bra-sized swimwear+
Panache Swim brings the lingerie engineering to swimwear, which is rarer than it should be:
- Sold in bra sizes, not S/M/L — so you get the same cup fit you'd get in a bra.
- Sectioned cups and power-mesh wings for genuine support in the water and out of it.
- Full range of shapes: balconette bikini tops, one-pieces, tankinis and bandeaus, with mix-and-match bottoms.
The Anya line is the range's anchor — the balconette bikini top is the piece most people start with.
04The styles worth knowing by name+
- Andorra Full Cup — the everyday support workhorse, D–J, with powermesh wings and a smooth line under clothes.
- Porcelain Elan — the t-shirt bra: soft shaped cups, convertible straps, invisible under fitted tops.
- Envy — a balconette with a cult following, known for lift and shape.
- Cleo Jasmine, Clara & Piper — the younger, brighter balconettes with full-bust support built in.
- Chi Chi — the Sculptress balconette for plus-size fuller figures.
05Caring for a Panache bra+
Full-bust bras are engineered garments — they last far longer treated gently:
- Hand wash or use a lingerie bag on a cool, gentle cycle — the wires and elastic are what wear out first.
- Never tumble dry. Heat kills elastane; reshape and air dry flat.
- Rotate your bras so each rests a day between wears — the elastic recovers and lasts longer.
- Fasten the hooks before washing so they don't snag the fabric or other pieces.
Panache bras FAQ
The questions shoppers ask most, answered straight.
Is Panache a good bra brand?
Panache is a well-regarded British full-bust specialist, known for supportive, well-constructed bras in cup sizes D through K. Its sports and swim ranges in particular are widely recommended for larger busts, because they're engineered for full-bust support from the ground up rather than scaled up from smaller patterns.
What size range do Panache bras come in?
Most Panache bras run from a D cup up to a J or K, across bands roughly from 28 to 46 depending on the style. The Sculptress range extends the fullest sizes; the everyday and Cleo ranges cover D through J. Cup and band availability varies by style, so check the chart on each bra.
Does Panache use UK or US sizing?
Panache is a British brand and uses UK cup sizing. Band numbers are the same in both systems, but the cup letters diverge above DD. As a starting point, a US DDD is roughly a UK E, a US G is roughly a UK F, and a US H is roughly a UK FF. Always confirm against the size chart.
What is the best Panache sports bra?
It depends on impact level. The Ultimate underwire sports bra is the high-support choice for running and HIIT; the moulded wireless sports bra suits comfort-first, lower-impact wear. Both encapsulate each breast separately rather than compressing, which is what makes them work at full-bust sizes. Browse Panache sports bras.
Is Panache swimwear sold in bra sizes?
Yes. Panache Swim is sized like the lingerie — by band and cup rather than S/M/L — so you get a true cup fit with sectioned cups and supportive wings. The range covers balconette bikinis, one-pieces, tankinis and bandeaus. See Panache swimwear.
What's the difference between Panache and Cleo by Panache?
Same full-bust support, different personality. The main Panache line leans classic and everyday; Cleo by Panache is the younger, brighter, more fashion-forward sub-brand — bolder colours and playful details like the Jasmine, Clara and Piper balconettes — without sacrificing the support a fuller bust needs.
What is the Panache Sculptress range?
Sculptress is Panache's plus-size range, designed for naturally fuller figures and extending to the largest cup sizes. It uses sectioned cups, reinforced wings and wider bands for maximum support with a flattering shape. The Chi Chi balconette is its signature style. See our plus-size bras.
How should I wash Panache bras?
Hand wash, or machine wash cool in a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle with the hooks fastened. Never tumble dry — heat destroys the elastane that gives the band its support. Reshape and air dry flat, and rotate between a few bras so the elastic recovers between wears. Treated this way, a Panache bra lasts far longer.
Where can I buy Panache bras online?
HauteFlair stocks Panache bras, sports bras, swimwear and matching lingerie, with the full range of full-bust sizes. Browse the Panache collection to shop by style, size or range.
