Since I lost weight this bra fits again, nice tight band!!! Real workhorse keeping you solidly uplifted. Had to alter the straps to make it shorter.

TangoII 30K mint green (figleaves exclusive color)
This bra is not such a bad fit. The band feels a bit too tight so I wear it with an extender. The cups kinda push my boobs flat since they are very closed on top. The shape is not as round as I'd like also a bit too east west from the front. The wires of the gore are quite tall and poke since my boobs are very close set. Overall the bra is very supportive and I recommend it for heavy (full on bottom) boobs.
I prefer other bras over the Tango but it's not a bad bra, if it goes ... with your shape. It's very supportive even in a 32K.
What I like about that bra:
- Very supportive
- Stable construction / strong wires
- Shoulder straps are lightly padded
- no jiggling, no need to adjust the bra during the day
What I don’t like:
- shape-mismatch, cups are too closed on top for my full on top boobs
- The shoulder straps are not fully adjustable.
- The bra needs time (and 1-2 washes) to break in.
- Since my breasts are very close set, the center gore does poke a bit (but it gets better with time)
- Shape : A bit too east – west for my liking

How does anyone stand this bra? It's so itchy and there's no give to the cups at all. They end up slicing into the breast tissue on top while sagging emptily below. The overall shape is pointy 50s all the way. I should have read more about fitting for top-heavy, wide-root, shallow breasts before getting this bra, but even if my breast shape fit into it, the rough fabric would still be a deal-breaker. I can't imagine how this bra ever got rave reviews!

Its nice to finally have a bra my size that is actually supportive and reliable!! As a woman with very large, very heavy breasts, this bra absolutely has the support that I need. I'm short with huge boob that are very heavy and pendulous (they feel as though they weigh 20 lbs each). It's amazing that a delicate lacy bra with thin straps can hold my girls up so well and that their weight was no longer on my shoulders. A bra like that is hard to come by when your size starts going farther into the alphabet. The only mild complaint I have is that the underwire does seem to dig, either in the armpits or ribcage.... but other than that, this is my new "go-to" bra, I LOVE it!!!

So, I ordered a Panache Tango Ii Balconette (3251) in a 40GG. The band is a bit tight, but stretchy. The cups don't feel quite big enough, but I do feel supported. The gore lies flat against my sternum. I have some side spillage, but it's not too bad. Overall, this bra is a much better fit than my previous bras, but it still could be better.

This bra gapes really badly on the top for me. If I hadn't already found my perfect fit, I would think it was too big. It is lovely but unwearable for me.

I tried on the 28E in this bra as an attempt to fix the quad-boob issue I had with the 28DD. Once again, I seem to have a shape incompatibility with this bra. It cuts in too much at the top of the cup for my shape. The 28E was simply too large, with a wrinkly cup and wires too wide, but still cut into my breast tissue at the top of the cup.

This bra is one of my everyday favorites.
Since my 30JJ got a bit small, I decided to size up to 30K. The size is spot - on.
The band felt a bit tight at first and the whole material felt stiff and scratchy, but with a few wears it gets better. It's a very supportive bra.
The color is a beautiful jade green. It an older color, not the Bravissimo exclusive one.
What I like about it:
- Very supportive
- Stable construction
- Wires are strong and don’t distort
- High center gore adds extra support for (medium) soft center heavy breasts (which tend to fall out of plunges)
- Shoulder straps are lightly padded
- ... Wide band provides extra support & minimizes back fat
- It comes in basic colors and several pretty fashion colors
- It’s aviable for cheap prices on ebay
- round natural looking shape from the side
- no jiggling, no need to adjust the bra during the day
What I don’t like:
- The shoulder straps are not fully adjustable.
- The bra needs time (and 1-2 washes) to break in.
- Since my breasts are very close set, the center gore does poke a bit (but it gets better with time)
- Shape : A bit too east – west for my liking

The Tango II Balconette is the one bra by Panache that fits me reasonably well.
It has a rounded out bottom that works ok with my bottom-heavy shape. The upper cup is relatively straight, suitable for my "ski-jump" shape in the upper part of the breasts. The wires are wide and high, containing all the breasttissue I have under my arms quite well.
I find it comfortable to wear, it is a stable and well constructed bra for my size and it gives me a nice shape. I have this bra in several colours; mainly though bc I love to match the colours of my underwear to my ... outfit and the seasonal colours of the Tango are relatively cheap to find on ebay.co.uk.
The main gripe I have with it that it is too shallow for me. To get the same cupdepth, I have to go up in cupsize compared to my beloved, deeper-cut Elomi bras. The bottom cup is too small for the bottom half of my breasts, thus I get a funny squarish shape when the bra fits volume-wise. I need to size up a cup and thus get loose fabric in the upper cup. I put up with it because it cannot be seen under a shirt, plus it gives me extra room for shark week.

This is probably my favorite bra so far. It's very comfortable and pretty too. The only problem I have is a tiny bit of wrinkling on the right cup, which is my smaller side, but it's not enough to bother me. The lace is thick and sturdy, so I'm not worried about tearing it. I also like that the straps are placed closer inwards than a lot of my other bras. This works much better with my tiny shoulders. The only complaint I have is the shape it gives me. I find that all non-padded bras give me a pointy look, and the lace does show under clothes.
