This bra is quite comfortable - it contains all my breast tissue, and gives a decent shape. The band seems to fit a bit on the snug side - most of my 36G bras feel too loose in the band, but this one on the middle hook is quite comfortable (and almost too tight on the tightest hook - this could be an issue more related to the cup being too small)
The center gore on this is nice and snug against my skin, and there's no wrinkling at the bottom of the cup
*update* once I learned to scoop and swoop, this did not contain all my breast tissue and the center gore did not lay flat https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
This bra doesn't work on me for a number of reasons, the main one being that it's too wide, so my boobs end up rubbing on my arms when I reach forward, etc. I'm thinking this is caused from the way the seems are designed on the cup. (a horizontal seem runs along the side)
The wires are too wide on me, and while they don't poke, they simply go too far back under my arms. The cups are a bit more full coverage than I'm used to (or want), and they sit too high, close to my armpits. The straps are thinner and stretchier than I like, I really prefer non-stretch straps.
The band is pretty tight, and while I can fasten it, if I were to wear it I would definitely use an extender.
Seems like a good bra if it's compatible with your body and tastes, but it just doesn't work for me.
Labeled by Panache as a balconette, but it seems pretty full coverage on everyone but me. On me, the tight upper section causes massive quadboob. Sizing up to fix this would likely mean too wide wires. Wire width is good in this size (I need narrow wires).
I'm a 32 or a 34 depending on the fit of the band. I found this 34 firm, but not too tight.
I am still trying to fighure out what cup size I wear, I recently found out that I'm a 26 band not a 28. I can wear some GG cups. I bought this bra when I wasn't sure of my exact size , and it's too late to return.This is a beautiful Berry color by Panache. This bra is brand new with tags attached, never worn only tried on. Panache is known for having smaller bands than Freya and I agree, its very comfortable and light, but it is not my cup size.
This bra doesn't quite fit, but I've made some modifications to make it fit better. The fact that the lace on the top half of the cup is stretchy also helps!
I've bent the wires so they don't poke me in the underarms anymore. The bra band is comfortable still on the biggest hook, and I have work and washed it quite a bit. The colour is lovely, and the lace is soft and stretchy.
The problem? The bra migrates down. I'm guessing this is because the bottom of the cup isn't shaped right for the underside of my breasts. So as the bra migrates down, the lace on top ...stretches to accommodate the added fullness. I find myself readjusting this bra when I go to the washroom, which isn't completely terrible, but is something I don't have to do in my Cleo Lucy, or Panache sports bra.
That being said, I do wear this bra a couple times a week, and I find the soft lace and stretchyness are nice when my breasts are tender or swollen, as the bra stretches to accommodate. I also have it in a 34HH, which I wear a couple times a month. Read more 88 more words
The sheer fabric isn't the most comfortable. The sheerness is also a ittle off putting because I could not get my breasts to sit comfortably in the cups and have my nipples pointing the same direction. Although I didn't have any quadraboob issues on top, I could not push the girls all the way down into the bottom of the cup. The overall shapes wasn't as round as I would like to see. The underwire of the center gore pinched into my breast tissue giving a weird double cleavage effect. Overall, I was disappointed that this bra didn't pan out.
This is a gorgeous bra. I love the bright, contrasting multi-color stitching. However, I nearly dislocated a finger trying to hook the band. That thing is TIGHT! The cups are a pretty good fit, maybe a tiny bit big on my smaller side. But it's not noticeable, except the lace curved away from my body at the top of the cup. The shape and lift are great. This is definitely a bra engineered to support and flatter a full bust.
The band on the black & pink Ariza I have fits more like a 30 band instead of a 36. It may be labeled incorrectly because it is the TIGHTEST 36 band I have ever tried. In comparison, the band on my brand new cleo Lucy bra in 32j isn't as tight as the band on the Ariza. I really like this bra, however. The first couple of times I wore it, it poked & rubbed under my arms, but now is pretty comfortable.
Love this bra so much i have brought it twice! The stretchly lace means this bra fits my between sizes boobs. The centre gore actually touches my sternum which as i have very close set boobs is a rarity. Wish it came in more colours! A great alternative to the andorra if your are currently out of its size range as it has the same sort of fit.
This is my go-to everyday comfort bra. The band does fit a bit tightly but i like that about it - it makes me feel secure and will last longer! Am going to try this in a k cup soon as i am now between cup sizes.
For a long time, this was the only everyday bra (as opposed to sports bra) that fit me properly without the wires digging in or the straps being too short. I've recently finally found one or two other models that are almost as good a fit, but this is definitely my standby, and I have it in about 10 different colours now.
This bra feels fairly comfortable and encases most of my breast tissue, however, I usually only wear this around the house on weekends, when I'm in my pj's - the reason for this - the shape - it makes my boobs look incredibly saggy! This definitely does not give them a flattering shape at all (at least not for my breast shape). The band on this fits a bit more snug than other 36G's I have.
As I said though, it is comfy, the fabric is nice and smooth, but it's not something I wear out in public!
This bra fits very well, it's comfortable and gives a fantastic shape! I believe I need to go down to a smaller band sister size - the cup fits well, but the band has a bit too much room in it.
The gore sits nice and flush against my sternum, and the straps don't cut in anywhere (neither does the underwire).
This bra is quite comfortable, and gives me the round shape that I desire. The gore lies flat against my sternum, and the underwire is snug at the root of my breast. I think I may need to go to a sister size with a smaller band though, as I've recently lost some weight - my boobs seem to have stayed the same volume, but I've lost a couple inches in my underbust.
This bra has a very tight band (I bought it second hand and I'm wearing it with an extender). The shape is typical Panache (round). Bra keeps boobs in place, it is quite high. The underwire was poking into left armpit but after pinching the centre gore, the problem is gone. As a GG cup it didn't had sheer upper part but I did remove it and it looks nicer now. I added some pink ribbons to cheer the bra uphttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is very pretty - I love the black lace over the turquoise satin lining, and I really enjoy how the lining stops but the lace continues to complete the cup. The band is nice and snug and not too stretchy, so I have high hopes about it holding up over time. Overall, it is very comfortable and I enjoy the construction. My only complaint is that I wish the lace had a bit of stretch to it, since I do get a little quad-boob effect - but I don't want to trade in for the next size up, because then I'm afraid the underwires would be too wide. Not a perfect bra, but it works for the time being and it looks nice.
Quality-wise, the tango seems like a pretty good bra - the fabric is very soft, I like the magenta color, the straps are fully adjustable and comfortable. However, I'm pretty disappointed with the fit of this bra. I had a good experience with the panache (cleo) lucy, despite it being the wrong size, so I ordered the size in this I thought would fit, yet somehow, it doesn't at all. I still get quad-boob at the top of the cup, while a strange wrinkling effect is happening in the nipple area of the cups. It seems to be constructed for torpedo-shaped boobs like a bullet bra, making it both too big and too small at the same time. It looks extremely awkward under clothing. I'll be returning this bra.
