I love the fabric and the support of this bra. I love the colors. I wish it was the best bra for me, ever, but I can't get it to fit me in any size I've tried. I can't seem to avoid "orange in a glass" with Tangos (even in a 30E!), which is a shame. If you have the breast shape for it, this is probably the best bra you'll ever wear. I can't figure out exacly what's wrong with it...something about the shape cuts into my tissue at the top of the cups, and leaves strange pointy creases at the tips of the cups. I would have thought my marshmallowey boobs could have conformed to the shape, but they just won't do it.

Not a perfect fit, but quite comfortable. The band elastic feels soft, and the wires are covered in a similar soft fabric. The bra feels supportive, and the shape is a true balconette, cut low enough that you could wear a very low neckline with it. The band feels true to size for a 28 - my underbust is about 25", and it's not too loose on me but it could definitely fit a larger ribcage, depending on how tightly you wear your band.

I'm only moderately full on top, but the cups on the 28DD are slightly too shallow at the top for me, so I've ordered a 28E. (NB: fastening the band tighter has the effect of flattening the cups.) If you're particularly full on top, this bra might be a difficult one.

With the cups being too wide and the straps pulling me flat on the sides, this isn't a great fit. Got a bit of apex wrinkling as well as quadding across the top. The 28E - Panache » Tango Ii Balconnet Bra (3251) is even wider and worse. Not a good fit at all for me. I think my center fullness is getting me here with the center quadding and the sides being flat. The underwires also want to flip out quite a bit more than most bras normally do.

The Panache Tango was the first bra I tried in my recent bra-fitting journey, so I really wanted to this fit. Sadly, after trying the Tango II in sizes 28DD and 30D and the Tango II Plunge in 28E, I've come to the conclusion that this line is not for me. All the Tango bras are shaped with immediate projection and a very closed off top, which doesn't suit my wide and shallower shape at all. Every single size and style I've tried end up giving me the orange in a glass effect, and the stiff mesh fabric means the empty part of the cup ... sticks out awkwardly and can't be disguised.

The Tango II 28DD is a better fit than the 30D I've tried, but the cups are far too small for me now. The reason I ordered this size instead of my current 28E is that it was cheaper on Amazon, and based on my experience with the 30D's cups being too big, I figured the 28E would be too deep. However, this size gives me the absolute worst orange in a glass effect, even worse than the Fantasie Elsie 30D that I have. The stiff, unforgiving fabric and the projected cut just doesn't work for me. Maybe I'll give 28E a try sometime, but for now I'll let go of my Tango dreams . . .

I seem to have a shape incompatibility with this bra. It fits well in all areas except the top of the cup cuts in too soon and give me a sort of quad-boob. Trying it in a 28E did not remedy the situation. It also looks rather pointy from the side. It's a lovely bra though, with sturdy mesh for the cup and a softer fabric for the wings. I have smallish boobs but they aren't especially shallow, and the underwire sat in the perfect location for me.

Not good for shallow breasts; better for more projective breasts.

This bra just gives me such a strange shape. I feel it has to do with the seam pattern and my breast shape. The 28DD is too small, and the 28E is a significant improvement but still just not right for me.

This bra fits comfortably for me, but it gives me a pointy shape and slight wrinkling where the nipples are.

The sides could be a bit higher too.
