Tried this on at Nordstrom today and it was darn close to fitting. The top lace was only very slightly loose. My biggest issue with it was that it did give me a slight cone boob effect.
This bra is super comfortable! If full cups work well for you then definitely consider this one. The lace is pretty but not scratchy at all. It gives a decent amount of lift too. The shape is very natural, which I like but some others may think is a bit pointy.
I tried to make this bra work but it's just weird. The straps are too wideset and the cups are shallow. It digs in under my armpit and the sides of the cup are too high. I get quadboob and wrinkling at the same time. I used a racerback clip to see if that would solve the fit problems, and it did help but the straps are not long enough for racerback. It's a shame because it does give a nice, smooth look under t-shirts and comes in several colors.
The band is a size too big so I have to have it on the tightest hook for it to not ride up, and the cup is obviously slightly too small. After a day of wear the underwires start to bother my underarms because they are too high and the straps are too far apart. Other than that it is rather comfortable. Just doesn't fit perfect.
I got this on sale because I needed at least one black bra. I've not had good luck in the past with Panache bras because the wings on the side come up too high and I can never seem to find a happy medium with the cups. However, this bra fits well across the top thanks to the stretch lace, and the wings don't come up far enough to poke. It gives me a decent shape without padding.
This bra was very pretty, and I bought it when figleaves was running a promotion for BOGO for Ariza & Tango Il (mistake...). Unfortunately, this was back in my n00b days, so I didn't realize that full cups don't really lift and shape.
So, I ended up with an unlifted, sad shape, which I despise. Returned!
I like the fabric of this bra, it's soft on the outside. However, it comes up pretty high under the arms and sometimes pokes me, which is uncomfortable.
I know the band is too big for me, but I can still wear this when I need a nude bra. The bra doesn't add any lift, but it supports well - it's full coverage, doesn't do anything for my cleavage. The cups go pretty high on my breasts, and sometimes you can see the top of the bra in low-cut shirts. I've had this bra for about 6 months and it's still going strong.
Love it. Having lost a lot of weight I have ended up with very saggy, empty girls and this bra scoops them up nicely. Gives lovely uplift and shape and also works fairly well to stop them bouncing about too much if the dancing gets energetic! Love the look of this bra too https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Not the right size for me, but it really is a lovely bra. The colors are absolutely beautiful in person (I have the navy/plum combination). The bottom of the cup is quite shallow, which is great for me. It's too big near the top of the cup, at the seam where the lining ends, but then fits again at the very top of the cup. I may just take the cups in a bit over the nipple to fix that.
The gore is quite tall and rather wide -- a little too wide for me. The band also comes up very high under the arm, which I love, because it prevents by boobs from escaping out the sides of my bra. The wire is just a bit too wide for my boobs, and I think I have pretty wide roots.
I have tried this bra in multiple sizes to no avail. I think this bra is not good for my shape (full on bottom) and is probably better suited for someone with more fullness on top. Or the design just sucks.The straps are too far apart and the top of the cup digs into my armpit. The straps felt like they needed to be set in about an inch closer together on each side. There was a weird gap where the strap meets the cup, but otherwise it looked smooth. It still looked really weird under my shirt though. I really wanted this bra to fit because I like the smooth look of a molded cup. The gore also seemed a bit wide for me and did not lay flat. The band was pretty stretchy in the 32. I would recommend sizing down in the band and using a band extender. The wires seemed wide enough to encompass all the breast tissue in my armpits, which is often a problem for me.
This thing is freakin' gorgeous - if not the world's most comfortable daily-wear garment. The body is quite supportive, but not tight or in anyway reminiscent of "shapewear". The bra wires are too wide for my narrow frame (and narrow set breasts) but it's very attractive nonetheless. It lifts the breasts up well and gives excellent decollete. Highly recommended.
I previously owned this in a 30G and found the band itchy-tight and the top of the cup slightly quadbooby. Tried the 32FF and got the same slight quadboob and a band so loose I could fit two fists in it on the tightest hook. WEIRD. I wonder if different colors/dyes makes a difference in fabric stretchiness? Looks like 30G with an extender is the better fit for me.
I wear this size in the Andorra full cup so I was surprised this didn't fit. The cups were clearly too big. Also, unlike the full sup, it does not have a side support panel.
So, I ended up exchanging the 32F for a 32FF - in the navy and plum colorway this time. This bra is lovely looking, but it still has a bit of a strange fit - I found the similar issues as the Panache Tango II. It seems to be made for boobs with more projection and a narrower root. Thus, I get a little bit of cutting in at the top of the cup (quad-boob), as if it were too small, but also a little bit of wrinkling in the cups, as if it were too large. Additionally, the wire comes up a little ...higher in the armpits than I would like. However, these issues aren't as pronounced with this bra as much as the Tango (perhaps because the fabric is not as stiff), and it's still rather comfortable, so I'll keep it instead of sending it back. Perhaps a little bit of wear will stretch the fabric where it needs to be stretched. Quality-wise, it seems par for the course with Panache - very soft fabrics, well constructed, and a nice looking design. Read more 83 more words
Not a good fit. I think perhaps a 32G would have been better. I don't really get that this is a plunge. I thought plunges gave cleavage but this just seems to flatten my boobs and pushers them to the sides. Maybe a larger cup would change that. I had the same experience with the tango balconette in 30g - flattened boobs pusher to the side and not at all open at the top balconette wise.
The bra itself seems fine though, Nice basic look and good quality.
