Panache vs Elomi
Two brands, two ways of grading a size. Here is how Panache and Elomi differ in system, range and fit, and which one to choose for your shape and your problem.
Panache or Elomi, in short
Panache and Elomi both label in UK sizing. Panache runs firm in the band and true in the cup with wide wires; Elomi runs true to size in the band, grades generous in the cup, wide wires. Range: Panache 28–46 / D–K; Elomi 34–48 (some 50) / DD–K. Convert your measured size into each and let fit decide.
Your measured size in both
Same body, two labels. Each result is your US size converted into the brand's system, then adjusted for how that brand grades. Same system, so the label matches: the fit adjustment is the difference.
