This bra sucks the wire is 5 inches tall .on the Gore and under arm ..I'm 5 feet tall it goes up to my collar bone and the top portion is like pockets no breasts tissue there . Not to mention the red skin I get from it itching feels like Waring a burlap sack . And the bone on the right side Bowes inward and is very painful ..I've wore it to work 2 times and by half day I had to take it off it's like a torcher device. ..I'll never by panache again ....if you have this bra and like it I'm glad for you ...but for me no way
Hey Tara, I still have this bra up for sale here on Bratabase. I have it for sale for $20. It's been way over a year and no one has even asked about it. I'll let you know when some one finally buys it. OK? :)
My "true" size with Panache is 40 H, but I prefer the Tango in 42 GG because there the wires do not come up as high as they do in the 40 H. Downside is that the band is too loose, I always have to wear it on the tightest hook.
This bra is not mine but is a friends who let me measure it for the database. I did try it on and it's way too big in every way for me.It has a super tall gore, 3 section, cut-and-sew cups. Almost 6 inch wing height. Not the softest material in the world either. My friend says it's not very comfortable and the band rolls up unless she wears it inside-out for some reason. To me, if it fit me, I think would be suportive but itchy and the long wires would be poking me in the underarms.
Aside from the lace used for the cup the Tango II Balconette (3251) and the Tango II Two Tone Balconette (5061) are exactly the same bra.
The Tango II Two Tone was a variant of the normal Tango II that was brought out every once in a while. Like a seasonal colour, with the difference that they used slighty different lace too. The last Tango II Two Tone I am aware of was the teal/mint variety from AW 2009. Other older variants are black/white and pink/ivory.
The embroidery of the Two Tone is almost flat and a lot less lumpy than the embroidery on the regular Tango, thus it is less visible under thin t-shirts
I added a picture that compares the lace of the normal Tango II with the lace of the Tango II Two Tone.
Hi Tara :) , I miss you!
