I was really hoping this bra would work since it's a plunge style with narrow-ish wires. Unfortunately, the shape is funny and the center gore still feels like it's stabbing me despite the low-ness. It looks like the cups are separated too far.

The bra expects your apex to be closer together. My nipples sit further apart relative to the bra so I get this weird wrinkling right at the apex. I think I had the same issue with the Panache Envy, although it's been awhile since I tried that bra. Everywhere else I fill the cups okay.

I normally have an issue with floating shoulder straps since my roots ... are (shorter?/average?) and I'm full on bottom. These shoulder straps sit comfortably on the top of my breasts w/ no floating.

One interesting detail about this bra is that it's not made of lace. It feel like a smooth plastic material (Gossard glossies is smooth, but feels more like a mesh lace)--this feels like a mesh. Definitely worth a try if the normal lace bras feel too itchy for you. I actually quite like the material of this. If it weren't for the weird shape and stabby gore, I'd keep it.

The Panache Tango was the first bra I tried in my recent bra-fitting journey, so I really wanted to this fit. Sadly, after trying the Tango II in sizes 28DD and 30D and the Tango II Plunge in 28E, I've come to the conclusion that this line is not for me. All the Tango bras are shaped with immediate projection and a very closed off top, which doesn't suit my wide and shallower shape at all. Every single size and style I've tried end up giving me the orange in a glass effect, and the stiff mesh fabric means the empty part of the cup ... sticks out awkwardly and can't be disguised.

The Tango II Plunge in 28E is the closest fitting one I've tried, but this one has a super snug band. Comparing against the other bras on BTB and against the 28DD Tango II I ordered, I think this one is just a fluke. It's really difficult for me to fasten the band, but once it's on, it doesn't feel too tight, since it doesn't put any strain on the wires and cause them to distort and dig in. The amount of empty room at the fullest part of the cup is minimized in this bra, but honestly it's just not flattering to my shape or comfortable. I think the plunge cut is a little more forgiving than the regular balconnet, but ultimately this isn't a very flexible fit.

This is an especially bad fit for me--kind of a train wreck. Still not 100% sure of my size bc I can't find a bra that fits properly. I'm splayed and wide set (3 fingers at top of IMF in a bra and slightly more out. Bottom width is a hand's length where the splay creates that triangle shape.) I'm quite inner full and bottom full. My tissue is very soft so it sort of flows where it can and unfortunately in this bra that means it gets shoved toward my underarm and creates a bulge in the lower outer part of the cup. I have not found ... a bra that fits into my IMF, but this bra shows just how badly it does not fit. My boobs are 2-3 cups different in size. I wear an insert and took a photo with it and without it. I think this is a definite shape mismatch and I can't tell about the size bc it's just so bad. Gonna guess that I need more bottom projection closer to the gore side at the very least.

This bra was a slight shape mismatch for me, the wires were a bit narrow and the gore was uncomfortable. The embroidery was visible through my shirt, so it’s not a discreet bra.

Very flattering silhouette, but stretchy in the band. Rides up in the back and I get a bit of a quadboob after a few hours in it. Major poking in the side going on and the straps had a tendency to slide off if I didn't keep them fairly tight. I would've gone down to a 34FF or 34G if it hadn't also spat out its wire within 1.5 years of occasional use.

My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

Band is super tight, I can fasten it, but it’s uncomfortable. I put on an extender and it was fine then (band wise) to assess how the cups fit.

The cups are too separate for me and the gore sits on my breast tissue (yet again), the wire at the wing is slightly short and some boob does escape, especially on my left side which is a little bigger. The top part of the cup is almost perfect, presses in slightly, but doesn’t really give me quad boob.

About the fabric, ... I hate how stiff it is and frankly I didn’t really like the way it looked. I can appreciate that maybe some will like the stiffness of the fabric, but it’s not for me. The beige color I got feels super unflattering on me. I also don’t really like bras that don’t have the whole band underneath the cup, it feels sort of cheap-looking to me. Just a personal preference I discovered from trying some of these styles on.

I like the wide underwires, and the band sits comfortably (not too tight) but not so much on how the shape this bra gives me ;( I'm not feeling the lift and it doesn't flatter anything either under clothing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The left cup gives me a tad quad boob effect, I guess my left breast is a bit bigger than the right one.
But I like the embroidery designs on the cups though.

UPDATE:
band is way too stretchy even after only a few months and got reaaallly really stretchy that there's no point of wearing it anymore, band was riding up and all that. Tossed it away.

Got this bra at the beginning of my journey when I didn't know about shape. Unfortunately I don't think this bra would work for anyone in this size range due to crazy apex projection. So it's become my practice bra for alterations. I may also use the band and straps to make a new bralette.

Great fit but it does not lift and enhance as much as I'd like, maybe because it's a plunge which doesn't usually work well for me.

Weird fit. Cuts into my breast tissue probably because I'm too centre-full. Winkles in front of nipples and on the sides. Might be too big for me. Band runs loose.
