I have never worn this bra as it is too small for me.

The material is stiffer than a lot of the other bras I've tried, It was comfortable and fit well, but the very pointy shape was too much for me. It actually didn't look terrible under a shirt, but it just wasn't worth feeling self conscious about.

This was my first well fitting bra. But now after my second baby and nursing it seems that the cups are too large. The band and gore is perfect and as usual I love that it is not padded or moulded.

Ok, strike SIX with Panache/Cleo! Lol, I think this was the worst fit of any bra I've tried. I assumed this would be a decent fit looking at the measurements. I usually do well with a cup width of around 5.5" and a depth of 9.5-10". So this bra seemed reasonable in a 30F. I don't even know what to say. Lol. since the measurements are right in my vicinity, I'm guessing it's just a matter of shape mismatching. I'm a little surprised since I've heard a lot of great things about the Tango, and ESP that Panache balcony bras are great for augmented boobs

The cups on this are narrow and deep, the wires barely encased my outer breast tissue, and there was all sorts of wrinkling going on. The top of the cup isn't stretchy or forgiving, so if you're even or FOT this might not work, they def dug into the top of my boobs. The cups are too far apart for my close-set boobs. I would try a 30FF, but the cups will def be too deep and the band was too stretchy and loose for me (I wear a 28 band). Maybe that's why the cups weren't fitting right cuz the band was too loose (stretched to 33"!) to pull the wires out some? Just a guess. But for once, the straps were placed just right and not too far apart. But that was prob the only thing that worked for me on this bra. The gore was also a bit too high for me. I guess I should've just known this bra wasn't gonna work - I've tried the Panache Porcelain Viva and pretty much had the same fit issues, minus the wrinkling since it is lined and "padded" some. But I also had the same problems with the narrow cups and cups too far apart, with a very loose band. And I got nowhere with each of the 2 Cleo Lucy's and 2 Cleo Marcie's I've tried. MY boobs + Cleo/Panache = EPIC FAIL! Lol!!
I'm not saying this is a horrible bra, I think it would be great if you have the right shape for it and can figure out your size. I have very round, even, firm (simply put, fake) boobs and this just wasn't working well with my shape. I'm not really sure what MIGHT work with this, maybe more soft, even (leaning towards FOB)? I just don't seem to do well with balcony styles in general since my boobs are so close, firm and full all around. I do best with plunges and halfcups/moulded, lined bras. But the quality seemed great and sturdy, well-constructed. I can absolutely, without a doubt, officially say now, Cleo/Panache and my girls just aren't meant to behttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I don't have a lot of tissue up top so this bra works for me. Doesn't cut in.
Tiny bit of underarm poking
Tacks brilliantly
Band has a little give

I'm wearing this with an extender for now, although my previous experience with Tango IIs suggests it'll be a while before the band loosens up enough to wear it without one.
The cups are a smidge too big, I think, even though the sister size of 34JJ fits just right.Black colorway

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.Tan colorway

This is definitely my best-fitting bra, with good support all around. I've been wearing this style (in different sizes) for years and I'm glad they keep it in production. It's very nearly the only bra that fits me.

I'm evenly full on top and bottom and this gets all my boob inside and keeps them where they're supposed to be.black colorway

Very supportive, but in the beginning it poked me at centre gore. The bra is a little bit bigger in most of mearurements as the 32JJ - Panache ยป Tango Ii Balconette (3251) Aqua blue version.
Under the wires there is ca. 1 cm material, my other Tangos bent after some time, and ribbed me. But until now this it the better fitted bra for me. I wish Panache will do it from softer material under the wires.
Pros:
+supportive
+round form
Cons:
-Poked me in the beginning
-Material under the wire can be swing and can be rubbedUpdated on Jan 11, 2015 Flag this
