This swimtop is a true UK JJ, even though on the tag it states the same size for US, it is not. Although this bra cup is a tad too big on me, I will be keeping it since I got it at a steal on clearance. Also, since I breastfeed, this allows room during the time of the day when my breasts get full. I will be wearing it this summer and extremely glad about my purchase. It is a basic black and although it is a tad "boring", the solid color allows for exciting patterns for my bottoms,which I have 3 different prints that match perfectly!
This swimsuit top is more than good enough for me, as a swimsuit. It flatters me and it's basic, so I can wear it with all sorts of pretty bottoms.
As a bra, it's not quite there. There's some quadboob on my larger breast, and the band slides down a ways after about a half hour of normal movement (or, very probably, after 7 minutes of beach frolicking). I'd say the band is loose for a Panache bra, and there's only one hook, so there's no remedying that. The band of my 32G - Panache ยป Andorra Plunge (5676) fits me rather tightly on the loosest hook, but I'd definitely go down to a 30 on this one.
These things aren't nearly enough to put me off the design altogether, especially if I'm not wearing it all the time. But I kind of wish I could, albeit in a 30G or 30GG. I've been using it as an everyday strapless as well, and the looseness of the band leads to slippage over the course of the day.
this bikini top and the one-piece version have the WORST underwire I have experienced...too low for my boobs and very firm and the center gore is too high so it both sticks out and stabs me.
this really needs to be lightly padded...nipple show through galore
I'm trying the other bikini top thats padded...hope that's better
This bra fits me like a full cup bra style, and I wanted something a bit sexier for the pool! This is an extremely popular style, and I just checked over at Figleaves.com, and there is only one size left, a 32J, and it's on sale at $30!! Mine has only been worn ONCE and is half the price at $15 https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
It's good for swimming in but not overly comfy or attractive for bathing. But that's my opinion and I like halternecks https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Hard to say how it fits since it is several cup sizes too small on me. I think it did fit well when my boobs were roughly this size. It has a firm back and provides good support. I believe it runs true to size.
Ick. I just tried this on very briefly in a shop and I was very unimpressed. It basically seemed to give me no lift or shape at all- my breasts were very wide and low looking, and the top mostly seemed to just be functioning as a boob cover, not really what I was hoping for. The fit of the cups seemed reasonable, I wouldn't say it ran obviously big or small. The fabric in them was really really stretchy, though, which may account for the total lack of lift I got. This was my first foray into bra sized swimwear though, so for all I know that's ...normal. The attachment in back wasn't hooks and eyes, but the kind you slide into place at an angle and snap flat into place. After several flaily attempts to fasten it in back as I've grown used to, I had to give up and do it up in front and twist, something I haven't had to do in a long time. Ow. The band was definitely firm, though not so much I would have had to size up, though I also probably could have without problems. could have stood to be thicker. Speaking of thicker, though, OW to the tiny useless skinny little straps.Do yeah, overall, this was a fail for me. Read more 110 more words
It pushes very nice to the middle. This bra runs a bit big in den Cups and in the band, so it is probably more a 30DD. Also it is made for very much projection
This balconette bikini top is structurally much like Tango II Plunge and not so much like a Panache balconette.
This fit me much better when I was pregnant https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> Now the band is riding up. It's not absurdly big though. I think the band is quite firm.
I compared the wires to the ones on Tango II plunge size 32H. The shape is almost identical. Only in the center the wires and core come about 1 cm higher, and the gore is slightly wider.
The gore folds over because my breast push it in. The wires overlap in the center. The wires tilt so that they actually fit quite nicely in the sides (only in theory they would be too wide).
This is my go to swimsuit. The support in this bra is great, and it's not complex to put on. Plus, it has the added bonus of no nipple slips, and I don't fall out the bottom. It's a tiny bit saggy around the ass, but I think that's because I'm a size 6, and had to get the 8.
This is a nice swimsuit, but while the "bra" section of the swimsuit is fine I feel like the overall sizing in this is quite generous and I probably would have been better off with a 28 instead. That said I don't think I've ever seen that size so they either don't make them or everywhere I've looked doesn't stock them.
I LOVE this bikini - it's so cute and summery! Unfortunately I grew out of it before I ever got the chance to wear it. The design avoids it looking too bra-like, as you can't see it has wires from the front. In usual Panache style, the cups are quite wide and shallow, and are lightly padded. The construction feels really good.
It fastens with a usual bikini clip and feels reasonably secure. The straps are detachable for versatility, and it works for a 28 back with these attached. As it's swimwear it feels a little tighter than your average 30 back bra.
I can't comment on how it holds up in the water, as I've never worn it, but it's a really lovely set.
The Anna is Panache's basic black tankini from last year, although widely available in 2012. The bra portion fits okay, although the cups run small (I measure 40" full bust, but a 39" while wearing this). Instead of a clasp, it fastens with two traditional hook and eyes, and three rows, which is nice - there's room to take the bra in without altering it. The body portion of this tankini, fits very tightly. I have a 40" full bust and a 29"-ish waist, so I would have thought it would fit around the middle, but it's entirely too tight. Will be returned.
I've always wanted a bandeau bikini top but had never found one that fits my boobs and is supportive enough. When I saw the Veronica Badeau by Panache, I fell in love instantly! I usually wear a 32GG, but the biggest cup size for this style is G and so I decided to try a 34G and alter the band if necessary. It wasn't. The band is very tight for a 34 and fits me perfectly, but this is something to keep in mind when choosing which size to order. The cups feel true to size and again, a great fit; they're moulded and the shape they create is amazing, perfectly rounded and uplifted. I love the Veronica Bandeau! It's gorgeous, sexy, supportive (thumb up for underwired strapless bikini tops) but very comfortable, well-made. Only complaint, the size range; I'm sure many GG+ ladies would love this bikini.
It's a nice-looking bikini which sadly is a bit too big in the cups for me and doesn't do anything for my breasts https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The underwire is a lot more comfortable and elastic than that of the tankini. The inner bra part feels like a Cleo George material.
Update: It works in the "bigger boobs part" of my cycle. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> So it's not generally too big - I use the Freya Bamboo Island if I want to go swimming in the smaller boobs part of my cycle.
The bra fit just about perfectly, but the body of the swimsuit was too snug. It is hard to put on. The tankini had a good length on me (5'6" with a long torso). The color are more on the "cool" side of the spectrum: red, lilac, sky blue, navy and yellow. If I could get a bra to fit me as well as the swimsuit bra, I would be very happy!
Isn't the Tankini the Panache Anna SW0501? http://bra.pe/MBHb/ http://www.lindasonline.com/panache-anna-concealed-underwire-tankini-top-sw0501-black.html
