Purchased in black. Full on bottom, experienced wrinkling at the top. Band was stretchier than other Panache bras I've tried. Conical shape even if it did fit. Fabric texture appears through tighter tops.

After a weight change, I needed new bras. My suggested size from the calculator was 40JJ or 42J (UK), As it can overestimate cup size a bit in softer, less firm and pendulous breasts, I chose 40J/42HH, one size smaller than the calculator. I ordered different models in several brands: Panache, Sculptresse by Panache, Elomi, Cleo by Panache, and Goddess. While 42HH tended to be the right size, a few were off, such as this. This 42HH least two cup sizes too large, though the band was comfortable. Could be a manufacturing or labeling error, of course. Whatever it is, the bra is going back.
The ... colorway, sunset, is coppery and the embroidered parts of it almost sparkle. Typical of most UK bras in this size range, it has 3 hooks and 1.8 mm straps; the straps are likely long enough for most people. It is a little creaky in a few places, but imagine if I washed it that this would go away.
The gore tacked (mostly), thought there was a bit or gapping at the top. The band fit nicely and the bottom of the cup fit in the IMF with no issues at the bottom or lower sides of the cup.
It is listed as a balconette; it fits much more like a full cup. The top of the cup and area in the underarm both have extra material. The wires are so long that they poke the lower part of my upper arm. And, while most of these have wider wires than my breasts, there is at least an extra 4-5 mm of fabric past the IMF at the top part of the cup.
I won't bother to go down a cup size or two. The wire is in the IMF now with no extra material. When I go down, I'll lose that material. It's just not shaped well for my breasts.
Current measurements from Reddit calculator: L109, C105,T 97, and S136, LN141, L134.

The bra provides a comfortable fit, without compressing my breasts or causing any spillage. While the fabric quality is decent, it could be smoother.

If it means anything, I am even on top and bottom with side fullness, wide roots and average projection.
While the leaf embroidery isn't really me, it is very pretty and skillfully done. The straps are partially adjustable, the front half padded for comfort, a huge plus. The gore fully tacks and the wires sit firmly on my IMF, staying in place all day without budging. I would say the overall shape and depth are perfect. The top portion of the bra lays flat against my skin without gaping or cutting in, and the bottom portion feels supportive, no wrinkling or tissue flattening whatsoever. Love the firm fabric cups and band opposed to the usual overly stretchy elastic ones in many other bras. The shape it gave me was not overly round or bullet bra-like, but a naturally rounded shape I like.
If I'm being honest I don't think any OTR bra will fit me much better than this. Needless to say, I am beyond satisfied with Tango II.Updated on Jun 27, 2023 Flag this

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 band is much less stiff than my 28E - Panache » Cari Moulded Spacer Bra (7961) so would be a much more comfortable fit if the cup were the right size/shape for me. This is probably one of the least stiff Panache bands I've worn.

I am a 36DDD/36E (US/UK) with a 36" underbust measurement. The size was appropriate, but the shape was completely wrong for me. This bra is unlined and very sheer. It's very pretty and less scratchy than I'd expect for a lace mesh. It's meant for someone with a lot more projection and wider-set breasts than I have. The cups were too narrow and conical for me, and the gore visibly pushed my breasts apart. I returned it.

Great fit at first but the band I both lost some weight AND the band was very stretchy to begin with. I am having some issues now with the underwires pushing down and flaring outward slightly, and have to wear the bra on the middle or tightest hooks. The gore tacks very well, the cups are filled, the material is not scratchy, wires are a great width for me and it seems to accommodate that I have a bigger space at the base of my breast and then am close-set near the top (maybe splayed roots?). I would buy this again in the sister size as so far ... it is the best fit I've found even with the band loosening up so much. My only complaint is that it doesn't give a super round shape, it more or less supports my breasts in the shape they naturally have (slight ski slope shape) so if you're looking for a rounded shape this might be a miss. Overall it's a great everyday bra and I will definitely buy it again in a different size.
