I just found this bra while doing an inventory for a swap. The cup volume is about a cup size too small. The pics tend to show it purple, but its true mauve.

Pluses:
+ firm fabric gives good support
+ design is pretty - embroidered leaves on sheer fabric
+ straps are comfortable and wide enough
Minuses:
- the band (beneath the underwires) sometimes folds upward and/or digs into my rib cage under my breasts
- the cups tend to wrinkle a bit unless your breasts are perfectly symmetrical
- need to scoop and lift breasts into cups after laying down or reclining or cups will wrinkle
- front gore underwire is squeaky / creaky (actually makes noise!)Black colorway

This is the classic bra that most women with non-standard breasts try on at a boutique, so it seemed like a good start for Panache. There are typically some shape incompatibilities for women with wide roots and a shallow shape, which did turn up here. The bra is made of good materials, soft and sturdy, and reasonably pretty, however.
The default wire shape is too narrow and produces a cup that is far too deep. It was immediately clear that it would need to be bent wider at the outside edge, which opened things out a lot. The bra still expects closer-set breasts with more tissue in the center-front. Some wrinkling at the top of the cup, especially at the middle, but overall this bra is very comfy and a nice introduction to Panache.

This bra has a lot of projection in the center of it, but the bottom of the cups run shallow. As such, I had a lot of wrinkling around the edges! As all Panache bras, the wires are very wide. Also, the shape of this bra is such that it makes things a little downturned and pointy. Also this bra squeaks!

Fit is very strange - getting a big "orange in a glass" effect. Gore digs in uncomfortably, but not as brutally as a lot of other balconettes.

Cups are loose and the shape is pointy. Pretty bad on me.
The teal-on-black color is pretty - the teal is very dark so the effect is subtle.This bra is not owned any more

Underwires are just too dang tall for me! They dig into my ribs.

Nice, functional black unlined bra with the Tango leaf print. The cups are a typical panache stiff mesh, not really much stretch. I tried it for the sake of having said I tried; Panache wires are too wide for me in a 32F. I would call this a great bra for someone FOB with shorter roots. For me (tall roots, even), it was very closed on top and cut into my breasts very badly.

Very pointy and unsupported shape. This bra made my breasts look significantly sadder and more droopy than they look naked. Not a winner.
