What next?
I went shopping today (There's now a boutique in Helsinki that sells Panache, yay!) but came home with nothing.
Panache Tango Ii Balconette (3251) in 34GG was a bit too small in the cup and the band was on the loose side. I tried the same bra in 32HH earlier, and the shape was not good either, so I guess it's bye bye to dear old Tango now
Panache Jasmine (6951) Animal print in 34H (I think it was an H cup) had a very tight band (I tried a 32 band, but way too tight) and the right cup was too small, making the bra go all wonky. But sizing up one size didn't work either. The cups were too high, most of my boobs were sitting below the stretchy lace part and the shape of the cup was really bad. And even if the cups had been ok, the straps were too far apart for me.
Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675) in 34GG was a better fit, but too small on my larger breast once again. They didn't have a 34H, nor a 32HH, so I don't know if it would work.
What do you think, any other Panache models I could try? They carry all Panache brands, so Cleo or even Masquerade are options (thought I'm really looking for an everyday bra and can't see myself in Masquerade daily).

I could wear my Rhea Masqerade everyday. It is wonderful. I hate regular Panache bras. They are always too wide and shallow on me. The only Panache I like is the Zara. It's a plunge multi-way bra. I like wearing it as a halter or razorback because my shoulders are too narrow to wear it normal
Pretty much nothing from Panache's main line works on me, but I love both Cleo and Masquerade. It depends what works for you, but personally I really like halfcups and balconettes for everyday wear.
For Masquerade halfcups, you could try Rhea, Delphi, Rosetti, etc. Cleo has the Juna/Darcy range of padded halfcups, and the Juna comes in plain colors (beige, black, and ivory) that would be good for daily wear. I really liked the straps on the Juna - they were soft and didn't cut or dig.
From Cleo's unpadded balconettes, I liked Marcie the best, but Millie and Melissa were also nice.
