I fell for the beautiful AW13 Tea Rose and Figleaves exclusive Peppermint colourways. They're both perfect, incredibly flattering on my skintone - Tea rose works great as a neutral and Peppermint is a gorgeous mint green colour (mints being mostly blue these days). However, that's where my love for the Tango ends. I tried it in a variety of sizes, at a time when I still had no idea how wire width affects fit, I didn't know much about shape either and I had yet to try a bra that truly fit, so I had nothing to compare it to. Looking back, the cups were too wide in ... every size, and the shape was always very pointy and east-west, with almost no depth at the wires and gore, where I need it. The style is also a full cup rather than a balconette, at least in the larger cups, meaning it cut into my FOT/tall root, even in several sizes up. The Tango is one of those models that I'm sure works wonders for women with small cups or a larger underbust, but in the large cup/small band range, there are a lot of problems due to poor scaling.
Starting at a GG cup, the straps are reinforced with padding, there's boning at the wings, and it has a three hook closure. In spite of the issues I had with the cups, I still felt like my breasts were comfortably anchored to my body, with no possibility of an accidental peek or boob escaping anywhere. It's like Panache have constructed a boob fortress to securely contain your breasts. No flimsy lace, no frilly doo-dahs, just your boobies and their fortress.
