This bra is still worn by me. I now have a bra I can go outside of the door in. I want it in prettier colors though. These colors are too muted for my skin.

This bra was beautiful, but ran pretty small in the band. The cup is true to size however, the band being so tight gave me quadboob. This plunge is not good for very soft breast tissue, like mine, it was hardly contained.

I really wish this bra worked for me since it's so pretty! Sadly the wires are too wide and tall on the sides. I think I could probably go down a cup size in this since I'm between GG and H, if that would help the wire situation...

I really love my red 32G version of this bra cami, even if the band is too loose and the cups are a bit small. I ordered a 32H hoping it would fix the cup problem and expecting to have to alter the band. Unfortunately, something goes horribly wrong with the straps between G and H. The 32H's straps are twice as wider which is fine, but they attach in a really awkward way. It looks kind of like they were trying to avoid the problem many large-cup bras have of the straps being way off in the armpits but it's a bit of a failure. There appears ... to be a continuous piece of fabric that forms the edging in the armpit and then goes up to form the strap. The place the edging turns into strap hits right at that line between boob and armpit pudge. The "armpit fat" won't stay scooped and swooped in the cups because the wings are fairly low so there's pudge at the outside of the strap that makes it look like you're squishing out of a too-small size. I tried scooping everything back in while pulling the band tighter and it didn't really improve things. Since the armpit edging and strap are all one piece of fabric, I'm not sure it would be easy (or possible) to alter the strap position. The strap positioning isn't do narrow that it's uncomfortable, it's just really unflattering on me.

Cups are a little too small. Band is too big. I would need a 30HH probably in this bra or maybe a 30J. I'm not sure how it fits compared to normal Panache, but in a Cleo Marcie/Meg/Zia I am a 30H. Its a bit too far apart for my breasts.

Soooo soft and silky. And sooo wrong for short people.
The cup fits well except the top is slightly too loose. Since the straps are set so far apart, there is no tension on the material and no way to create any, so I jiggle like crazy. The wires are quite long (how did I miss that?) and the wing height combined with the long wires means the wires are right up in my armpit. The wings rub my armpit as well. I wore it for a couple of minutes before the chafing was too much for me.

The material is not only silky but gorgeous: black lace over sapphire cups.

This is a great bra for everyday use. The kind of bra I will wear, when I could use a sports bra, but won't actually be doing sports https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> Cleaning the house, playing with the kids, dancing my ass off at night clubs... If I could do handstands, this bra would keep my boobs in place even then. I don't need to adjust my boobs at all. Ever.

Appearance: Ok shape, but not great. A bit too wide to my liking. On the plus side, not at all pointy but nice and round. The underwires come very high both in the front and ... on the sides. The high front and "100 % coverage" shape of the cups means that I can't wear low cut tops with this bra. The leaf pattern will show through thin fabrics and actually, even a tight sweater.

Comfort: I've only worn the bra twice now. It does ever so slightly dig under my arms, but not too bad - red marks that disappear quickly. I'm sure it will be more comfortable after a while. The band, at it loosest setting, feels tight but not too tight. The first time I wore the bra I took an extender with me just in case, but I didn't use it after all. The straps only adjust half the way, but right now they're almost at their loosest setting, so that is not a problem for me. For some reason I haven't figured out yet, I do find the sides of my boobs clammy when I take the bra off. Maybe because the material of the cups is a polyester-nylon blend, that is not too good in wicking moisture.

Very happy with this bra. The band is a bit loose, but I did not try the 30, so I couldn't say if I could have gone down in band size. The wires under the arm felt like they might pinch when I first put it on, but after properly adjusting the straps and my breast tissue it became quite comfortable to wear.

This is one of my first Panache bras where I feel like the cups weren't waaay too wide for my size. I usually have this problem with Panache. The cups/wires extend a bit wider than my breast tissue on the sides, but not too badly.

My only problem with this bra is that it is sadly a bit too small for me. I love the stretchiness of the lace over the tops of the cups, but they are still a little too small for me and it cuts in at the top. I am very tempted to try one cup size up, but at the same time I want the cups to be a bit deeper and not have the wire width change at all.

A nicely made bra overall. I can definitely see why it is so popular. I also love the plant/bird print!

this bra has a very tight band and thats what i love about it. at the moment this is the bra i feel most secure in. it has three set of hooks, it covers all my breast tissue perfectly and the amazing snug band. i dont feel uncomfortable after wearing this bra for hours, i actually just bought a second one because i love it so much!

actually thinking about it, there is one thing thats bothering me, the bit of the band on the bottom of the cup kinda turns itself inside (does that make sense?) and really hurts. its easy to undo but sometimes a bit ... annoying. although that does not happen all the time.

to be honest its not the prettiest of my bras but i still really really love this bra!

i have now changed my mind, this bra is unbelievably uncomfortable. every time i wear it im in pain because of the band under the cups turning itself inside. its so bad i just want to rip this bra off after wearing it for a few minutes.

This bra gives a beautiful round shape for my bottom heavy and pointy breasts. I learned from Bratabase that this bra runs small in the cups and that you may have to size up. I ordered a 32H instead of my usual 32GG, which was a right decision. 32GG would have been way too small in the cups (and because my breast tissue is constantly remigrating I might even need a 32HH in the future). The lace in the upper part of the cups is soft and stretchy, so it accomodates to breast shape without gaping or wrinkling.

I got this one off eBay. I knew it probably be a bit too small in the cups, because my 32H Tango II Balconnette is. But as H is the largest it comes in and 34 band would be too big, I ordered it anyway. Just to have a go!

The funny thing with this bra is that even though the cups are technically too far apart for me, and the wires are too wide, the bra actually fixes itself. The central gore sort of folds up under the pressure, making the cups shift up towards the center, and, guess what? The wires end up being right on spot.

Too ... bad the 32H is a bit too small in the cups. I'm hoping that this will be corrected if I lose a bit of weight and/or manage to finally stop breastfeeding. But who knows what other issues that will bring.

Anyway, even with the fit issues I can and will wear this bra (until I find something better). The gore is low enough not to show in low cut tops. I love the "everyday cleavage" that isn't too cleavage-y. And the bra's sturdy enough for my daily activities (provided I have the opportunity to arrange myself every now and then). And I love the aubergine colourway.

I'd recommend to try this bra when you're looking for a decent, good quality everyday plunge. If it fits, you'll love it!

Edit. I don't know quite what's going on here. My measurements haven't changed but the fit of my bras has... This one I've had to wear with an extender. Otherwise the band is too tight, the bottom of my breast can't fit in the cups and because of that there's a lot of bulging over the top. My guess is that a 34GG would actually be a good fit. Meanwhile the Tango II balconnette in 32 H fits almost perfectly. I suppose that because the gore collapses on me, the band is strained more. On someone that has wider set breasts, the band would not be so tight.

Edit 2: I've found that I'm not compatible with this plunge shape after all. My boobs are soft, and tend to spill out a bit in the middle.

The center gore is much too high - not only does it poke me, but it's also visible in the necklines of many of my shirts.

Fits exactly like the Tango II Balconnette, which is no surprise as they are the same bra with slightly different materials. Tango Luxe has satin over the center gore and wings, plus satin trims on the cup egde. The straps are halfway padded with satin overlay. When I first tried the bra on, the straps were really squeaky (think those fake snowballs that are filled with potato flour or something) but after I washed the bra that has, luckily, stopped.

For some unknown reason the Tango II balconnette and Tango Luxe have started to fit me nearly perfectly. No quadboob, bottom filled ok, looks nice. The center gore is of course still a little bit too wide for my close-set boobs. But not uncomfortably so. Just a little bit. These are my favorite bras at the moment!

Cute and sexy bra. It was a bit tight in the band but not uncomfortably so. Also, the cup seemed a size too small.

Underwire is uncomfortable after a few hours - rough fabric. Cups seem small and give a torpedo shape.

Good, supportive, but cups run small.

The good:
The cups are well structured, even if you don't fill it-- it looks alright
The cups are very comfortable (I bought the bra without realizing the cup size was too big lol)
The shape of the cup is natural looking
Its coverage is comfortable
Band stays put

The bad:
The band sits lower than I'd like
The band irritates my skin, though its too big

This bra is a lot like not wearing one, it still allows my breasts to sit where they naturally want to be (too low for my liking) but it preserves modest, gives great shape and overall can be flattering I think. Also bonus, it comes with clear and colored straps.

Gives a natural, uplifted shape. Extra support panel in sizes above G means the bra is not sheer like it appears in photos.
