Definitely not my favorite bra, and can't wear with anything but a v-neck due to the minor quadding, but ultimately a solid bra.

I was less than thrilled with this bra. I had such high hopes but it poked everywhere with underwires, which improved with bending but wasn't eliminated. Wings were much too high to be comfortable and while a very pretty bra it drove me nuts. The band is not very stretchy and was snugger than my 30J melody. Maybe it just didn't have enough stretch in the cups.

Band fits tight, but I've worn it without an extender anyway. The cups are deep enough, and while they're a little too wide, it doesn't bother me too much. The biggest problem is with the gore. It's a little too wide and not "stable" so instead of digging in to my boobs the wires flip over each other. It's a wearable bra, but not my favourite.

I'm being a bit weird here maybe, but I don't like how this bra looks. It's too lacy and flowery and trying to be all girly - but it's a huge granny bra and there's no hiding the fact! Ok, the straps are ... really thin for a huge granny bra. I've actually let them show in tops (summer! hot!) and not been too bothered by it. But somehow, I keep thinking, maybe I like the Tangos because they don't try too hard not looking like granny bras. And the colours are nicer. I'm so happy this oneat least is a single colour, a nice enough teal, because the multicolour Arizas look just way over the top.

This review is for the purple Ariza. It is labeled as a balonette, but it looks more like a full cup bra.

The band is very snug, which I guess is a good thing. I am still getting used to smaller back sizes, so even though it feels very tight on me right now, I can jump up and down and the bra doesn't move. Also, there's no pressure from the straps, so maybe this is how a bra is SUPPOSED to feel.

The center gore was flat against my sternum. Finally, what I've been looking for! So this is what it feels like. ... I could tell I would get lots of support from the firm band and the way the underwires encased my breasts. I did have some quadraboob, so the next cup size up would have been even better.

The straps are also inward a bit more than Freya bras, so that's nice considering I have narrow shoulders. I don't feel like the side of the bra is digging into my arms because of how I have to push the straps.

This is my first Panache bra to try, and I've read that people complain the wires are too wide, but I didn't find that to be the case. I can handle wide wires as long as the shape isn't severely east/west, which this bra wasn't. The shape is pretty forward and somewhat rounded, but the cups were still a tad bit too small for me (cutting in the top), so I'm sure I didn't see the intended roundness as it should have been. I need to try this in one cup size up to see if it makes a difference.
