This bra provides an amazing, round shape. It's like a custom fit. The bra is also very beautiful. Panache bras have changed my life.

UPDATE: This bra was great for a couple weeks and then it went.... wrong. It became incredibly stabby under the arms and in the chest. It stretched out quite quickly - I handwashed 1x and had to tighten up to the middle hooks.

It fits fine and is really comfy to sleep in, I'm 35 weeks pregnant now and will be wearing it at home in PJs and at night to keep breast pads in place for feeding. Wouldn't like to wear it out though as it's not super supportive and whilst the shape is so much nicer than Royce counterparts I'm not a massive fan! But for comfort and general prettiness I like it a lot!

If I were fuller on top, it would fit fine, but as it is, it's just a bit too small, perhaps a size down in the cup would be better.

Bra is comfortable, but nothing to get excited about.

This really works for me. Panache as a brand hasn't really failed me. The stretch lace at the top of the cups is a fantastic idea. I'll totally have to keep an eye out for a jasmine and an Andorra.

The shape is lifted, forward and round, basically just what I've been looking for. It's one of those bras that I forget I'm wearing. Even after a few hours vigorously rearranging my closet the bra stayed in plus.



Aesthetically, I think the houndstooth pattern on the cups is darling.

I have a Cleo Marcie, candy pink, in the same size, which I love. I love this Floris (a lovely amethyst floral print) even more. It's like a Marcie upgrade for me.

I feel the band is a tad more snug and the cups a touch larger, and this works in my favor. I love the three hooks. I feel very secure, quite "locked and loaded" in this bra.

This bra is a few years old and still sturdy and fits as it did when it was new. I can still wear it on its loosest hooks, although I've moved to the middle hooks lately.

Things I like: sturdy straps lined with a soft almost fleecy lining.
Firm band that doesn't stretch out much.
Sturdy wires that keep their shape.

Things I don't like: the band flips up against my belly when I sit, but my underbust is the narrowest part of my torso so I can't really hold that against the bra.
It's fuller coverage than I'd like, but oh well.
The wires are wider than I'd like, but they don't poke.

I think the tangerine shade is more pink ish in person than when I saw it online, but it's quite lovely. The bra has a lot of stretch to it. While it is a 34 band and I usually wear a 32, it wasn't too terribly loose feeling even on the furthest hook. I had to tighten the straps considerably to get a nice uplifted look. Since the cups are made of a stretchy lace material it is very nice for me since I am breastfeeding my kid and my breast size fluctuates considerably throughout the day. It may be stretchy enough for some amount of upper fullness.

It is quite comfortable and gives me a pretty nice shape. The lace is feminine without being granny like. The gore lies flat and the cups aren't excessively wide feeling despite being a band size up from my usual.

Edited to add: I recently got the turquoise colorway also in 34J. Beautiful! Fits about the same.

I got this bra with matching panties in size 12 UK from @DearScarlet in the cassis colorway. They are stunning.

The band is comfortable, not too loose despite being a 34 band when I usually prefer 32s. It feels supportive to me.

The cups have good depth and the bra pulls my breasts front and center. The gore tacks comfortably, though the wires are a bit wide for me. Perhaps if I curved them in a little bit on the outer edge they would be more comfortable. They don't poke too badly, so I might not. Maybe in a 32JJ they would be a little more narrow.

Straps adjust well ... and have darling little bows on them. The lace on the upper section of the cups is lovely and VERY stretchy. I think it'll be good for dealing with my breast size fluctuations due to nursing and it might be nice for those who have some upper fullness too.

Overall this bra is rather comfortable, except some minor issue with the wire width. It's quite lovely and gives a nice shape under clothing.

I have a thing for leopard print bras and panties, so I had been eyeing this print for some time. The Nordstrom I visited didn't have a lathe selection - this was the only J+ cup they even had in store. Fortunately 34J is a sister size.

It gives nice shape, very rounded. It's quite comfortable. The wires seem to be a good width for me and the gore as well. I like the lacey upper section since it helps with my breast size fluctuating throughout the day from breastfeeding. The band fits me pretty well, maybe it could stand to be a tad tighter for my liking but for a 34 I believe it fits true to size.

The lacey upper section is quite soft on my skin. The actual leopard print isn't tacky looking (in my opinion!), but just a little more "sexy" than some of the almost old lady floral prints some other @Panache bras seem to go for.

This is the bra size Bratabase recommended to me based on its calculator. Just really too big in every way. Beautiful colors and detailing though.

This bra is very similar to the Panache Tango II , which is my all time favourite bra. The shape , the cut, the sizing is identical. The difference is that the material more silky , the color is gorgeous and the bow detail makes it look a bit fancier.
The straps are soft silky material and much wider than the original Tango II. One would think this makes the straps more comfortable, but unfortunately that is not the case. In fact the wide straps curl up due to the softness of the material and they dig into my shoulder leaving red marks.
I am keep buying the Tango II over and over for over a decade, but I definitely won't buy this version again. Being fancier doesn't worth to give up the comfort.
I have to admit I have narrower shoulders though. Maybe women with wide shoulder won't have problem with them.

This used to be my favourite bra for a long time. Sadly my boobs decided to grow again. I need now a 32K/32KK in other Panache bras (like Floris and Melody) and probably a 32L in Ariza.

pros +
+ gives a uplifted round shape
+ full on top friendly
+ very sturdy construction
+ wires are a bit narrower than on most panache bras (Tango, Melody, Floris)
+ band is very firm and barely stretches out with wear
+ very supportive, gives "boobs of steel" feeling

cons -
- fabric is a bit itchy at first wears
- shoulder straps can dig in
- wire pain since the wires are very very stiff (but that also makes the bra so supportive for big / heavy boobs) but also note that I get pain from wires digging in in all my bras when I wear them a full day, because the bras have to carry a lot of weight

I don't really like the shape this bra gives my boobs, nor the way it looks, but in a J cup I'm used to not having a lot of choices. It fits; I guess that's good enough.

I get a bit of center "pillowing" in this bra that would probably be quadboob if the cups had a hard edge instead of stretchy lace. The seam across the center of the cups is pretty noticeable under solid-color clothing as well.

This bra also pretty obviously doesn't have enough lower projection for me, since my nipples sit above the apex of the cup, and the only way to get them in it is to pull the underwire up so it's sitting on boob.

Edit: The quadboob problem, I'm pretty sure, is just a shape mismatch. My boobs are quite round, and this bra is a little too pointy and doesn't have enough projection. I've also bent the wires inward at the sides to make it a bit narrower, which has helped it to fit a bit better.

It is a very nice sturdy bra. Ariza known to have a very tight band. Mine has even smaller band that usual. Then i bought it at first i had to wear it with extender. Today I'm underbust measurement is 31" tight and I can comfortably wear it on the loosest hooks. The cups are smaller as well. I wear 32H in Andorra, in Ariza I can almost fill the cups. This bra fits more like 32HH.

I have soft breast, bottom full, very close together (breasts touch each over), set high on the chest. I didn't have a problem with poking wires while using extender.

The bra made from double mesh, keeps the girls in place and cool at as well.

It looks great, but it's not a good fit. The wires are stabby. Maybe because they're too wide?

This bra fits like a dream. It is supportive and gives a beautiful, rounded shape. The lace top provides a custom fit. It was EXTREMELY stiff when I bought it - I could not even wear it for 4 hours the 1st time I put it on. The 2nd time I could not wear it for 8 hours, either. Just keep washing it (gently) and the starch will come out. I suggest washing this bra before you even wear it.

So so pretty! Just like the black one, it almost fits. The one problem with this one is the wrinkling at the bottoms of the cups.

This is one of the bras that I got when I was still figuring out my size, and it just doesn't fit. At all. Nothing about it is comfortable to me.

I love it, considering that I've always hated non-padded bras before. But this bra is great! It's non-padded, but it gives great lift and shape. Yes yes yes! The straps are just a little wider than what I've used to, but it's ok. I love the turquoise color. The band is pretty tight (it might loosen with time).
