I'm not sure what model this is. Based on photos here I think it's a Fontaine Plunge, but that name does not sound familiar to me! I'd forgot I owned this bra, and I recently found it while cleaning out my closet. The fabric is rather rough, and the wires squeak. It's similar to a Tango in fit, but the cups have a little more room.

This bra gives me a retro, 50's type profile when I look down, but my husband doesn't see it from straight on. I find it surprisingly comfortable, supportive, but a little scratchy. I am hoping a few washes will help it soften and the scratchiness will go away. This bra doesn't offer much projection, and reminds me of a minimizer type profile. This will probably become part of my regular rotation once it softens while I still fit in a 34 band.
The band is supportive, the straps stay put, the gore is at a great height and width, while my soft tissue stays contained within the cup even through a normal day'S activity.

This is probably the worst Panache bra I've ever come across.
It fits very much like a Freya balcony plunge. There's cutting in at the top, and wrinkling in the cup. The cups are very stiff, and there's not enough projection st the bottom for my breasts.
So this bra, at least in this size isn't good for FOT, or FOB.

Very short, projected, even, somewhat narrow, close-set breasts...

This cup is designed for more shallow breasts. Although I adore this deep, saturated pink, there is not room in the bottom of the cup. This fit issue was less pronounced in the 32FF. The materials are supportive and beautiful, but they are not soft and they do not adequately distribute the weight of my breasts. More self-supporting tissue, however, may be very comfortable.

A cursory glance would indicate this bra fits better than the 32FF. The cups look like they fit better, but the top cuts into my soft upper tissue, a two finger gap exists in the bottom of ... the cup, and the band seems tight. The 32FF was too loose. This is one size too small.

Like other Panache/Cleo wires, I do not choose to suffer with them. I expect three columns of fasteners, but there are only two. I appreciate wide, supportive straps, but these are thin and narrow. If you prefer "less bra", this may be perfect for you.

Curvy Kate and Comexim are significantly more comfortable, have better immediate projection, softer fabrics, and less biting wires.

Admirably, the cup does not cut into my upper tissue. And, although my more center projected breast experiences some wrinkling, these wrinkles do not show in my knit shirts.

The full bust size I got (30G) gives my breasts an unfortunate triangular shape, something I am not at all thrilled with. Also with the plunge shape, I am thinking you may want to be 100% sure of your size, as I think I may have needed to go up one cup size so that I'm not spilling out the middle after a day of walking/jostling. Otherwise good construction, I just don't care for the pointy look. In "Rose" the mesh isn't terribly see-through, I do not know about other colors.

This is the poorest quality big-brand name bra I have tried. The fabric is scratchy and thin in a way that holds wrinkles and doesn't let them go. You'd almost have to iron the thing (if that wasn't such a no-no).
Band seems true to size. Cups too. The underwire slightly digs into my ribs an the cups are way too wide for me.
