I thought this bra was beautiful... until I saw a picture of myself from the side!
During a recent heat wave, I became fed up with my usual t-shirt bras and purchased the Tango II. It will feel nice on hot days because it breathes much better than a t-shirt or contour bra. However, I am not thrilled with the shape... it gives a definite conical look that is not flattering on my small breasts. I have since learned that the Tango II isn't necessarily a "true balconette" shape, due to the way the straps connect to the upper cup section --- in a true balconette, apparently the straps should connect to the lower side cup section. This makes sense, because I get a much rounder and more flattering shape from my Freya Antoinette (3925), which does have the true balconette cut.

The support of this bra is wonderful, especially considering the apparent thinness of the material. I am really impressed with how it holds everything together, and it does so quite comfortably. The Tango II is also made very well, and I think it deserves its reputation as a popular bra. Unlike my Cleo bras, the straps are long enough too. The band is a little too stretchy, and I feel I should be wearing a 28 in this style -- as it is, I fastened this on the tightest hook with no problem.

Another thing to note is that while I think the embroidery on this bra is very pretty, it does show through a top. It's not horrible but it's enough to make this bra one I will reach for only when it's really warm out.

This bra is not owned any more
