It looks very pretty on the models, but some combination of a too-small cup size and how thin the bra is meant that my nipples show through the lace top part and the actual cup part. There is no padding, it's just very thin fabric, and doesn't really feel like it's holding me, just...sitting there. The band is very stretchy- I had it on the tightest hook immediately and I could still pull it out a ways from my body. The gore and wires are nice- short so it sits flat well. The straps adjust long enough by a wide margin, but are rather wide set. In short- looks pretty, but I think there's too much lace on the cups to hold enough breast, even if it fit.
Finally reviewing this bra - it's held up well over almost two years, now showing some minor signs of wear but the band is still tight and generally it looks nice.
I bought this when I was still buying 30E but was really more like a 30DD. This style/colorway seems to run a little small - other Panache 30E are consistently one cup size too large for me, but this one fits. Generally quite comfortable, and the stretch lace on the top lies nicely flat. The gore is too high, which I knew in advance, but I don't mind.
Stretch lace is nice so the cups fit even when my size fluctuates. Band feels nice. Not enough immediate projection, my breasts push the bra down. Also wires are a bit wide on my smaller breast. It would probably be a keeper but I find the seams itchy. Also gore bothers me by the end of the day, much less than my Cleo bras, but at the end of the day I notice it.
The Panache Envy gives an even fullness breast a rounded, natural shape without padding. The cup seams are visible underneath a T-shirt and erect nipples will show through. The band is very snug for a 29" (74 cm) band measurement, but the band does loosen slightly with wear. Close set breasts will find the gore height to be a little high/irritating.
This bra fits me really well. I'm just not sure I like the look it gives, it provides good support but doesn't give any cleavage. I know it's a t-shirt bra and it does serve that purpose, but I would like it to be more versatile with at least a little cleavage for v-neck shirts.
Sometimes squeaks a bit and digs into my sternum. The little pink bow is really cute. Gives me a weird shape under clothes.. think it's the side slings that do it.
In the picture it looks like I'm getting an orange in a glass effect but I think the straps are too loose. Edit- now I've tightened the straps it doesn't seem to dig in so much and now feels much more comfortable. The squeaking seems to have stopped also.
Technically this bra fits like it should and it is comfortable to wear, but it isn't my favorite shape. There isn't enough lift and it is a bit pointier and downward sloping than I would prefer. For a plunge style it isn't very open on top which sort of pushes down any cleavage you might have and hides it.
I needed a beige t-shirt plunge bra and I wanted to try something new, so I decided to try this one since the straps are thinner than the ones on the deco.
Pros: - thin 1.5cm straps (this might be a con for some) - the eyes are padded - you can criss cross the straps in the back
Cons: The fit is terrible. The band is too tight, but with a extender it's fine. The cups are awful, it felt too big and too small at the same time. I couldn't fill out the bottom, near the wires and it looked like the cups were collapsing even though I don't have heavy breasts. It cut in at the top edge on one side but not the other. Shape was not good either kind of lumpy, but I'm assuming it's related to the fit of the bra as well.
I just ordered this bra from Amazon.com yesterday in my usual Freya Deco size, 30GG (not on sale, I paid full retail, but free returns!). The Freya Deco's in beige don't work for me because the top of the cups show thru t'shirts (they "stick out" in a weird way), so I was hoping to find a better fitting t'shirt bra. I've already tried all of the Cleo, Curvy Kate and Fantasie T-shirt bras---they don't work. I'm hoping for better luck with Panache, but I won't hold my breath!
Although most of my bras are 28DD and 30D, with a couple of 30DDs thrown in, the Tango in 30E cuts into the top of my breast tissue and gives me lumps. As with every other Tango I've tried, including the plunge model, the cups pucker around my nipples. The wire length in the 30E is great for me for side support, however I cannot manipulate my tissue enough to fit it into the narrow cups. I love the fabric and colors of the Tango, so I try and try to wear it. Why doesn't Panache make their other styles with this supportive, durable fabric?
Shape mismatch. First bra in my right size that I got because it was really cheap to check my shape. I have too tall roots for this one, but it helped me find out that I do have projection enough to fill the bottom half of this bra.
This bra was a perfect fit for my average projection. It gives a nice uplift, but it is very thin. The only thing that is holding me back from keeping this bra is that it gives a pointy profile. I think this is caused by the seam where the lace is sewn to the cup. I'm even, leaning more toward FoB, but I think if I had a little more fullness up top, I would keep it, as it would give me that "green" shape. But for now, it's more like a ski slope https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Super comfortable bra. The heather color is gorgeous. It hugs nicely and gives a lifted but more natural look. I usually like a bit more rounded look, but this is a keeper.
ETA: Wore this one all day at work and it is SO comfortable. I would have never imagined I would be wearing a non-padded bra, and now I want more of them.
This bra is so nice, I really wanted it to fit. Unfortunately I don't fill out the cups very well and the gore is a bit high. I'm fast learning my shape is really only suited to plunge bars. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I'd tried this in a 30DD and it was too small so was hopeful about this one but it didn't fit, weird wrinkling, obviously not suited to my shape. I lack bottom and outside fullness.
