I love my Andorra full cup bras but I feel meh about this plunge version.

This bra fits really well. It doesn't poke anywhere, and none of me pokes out where it shouldn't. The underwire is high enough to enclose my side boob, which is a frequent concern. The colour (lagoon) is gorgeous.

But I don't feel all that supported in it. The straps are doing a lot of the work. When I roll around or bend over I don't fall out but I feel floppy. I bounce when I jump. Too much stretchiness I think.

The plunge model doesn't have the side support panel that the full cup does.

I wear this size in the Andorra full cup so I was surprised this didn't fit. The cups were clearly too big. Also, unlike the full sup, it does not have a side support panel.

Got this one in Chocolate. I really love the style and I think it can suit my boobs well! The feel of the fabric is lovely and the lace is gorgeous! Sadly this one is the wrong size (still trying to find my correct one!). Underwires go back far enough on the sides that they seem to hold everything well there, but I have massive quadboob.. lol. I'm starting to bulge out of my 34F Deco too though it fit well the first week or so, so migration? I also feel that I could easily fasten it on the middle hook and probably go just fine on the tightest, so I'll be looking into bras with tighter bands and bigger cups.

Got this for my mum to gauge her size. The band is definitely too big for her. She hooked it on the last hook and it still rides up. She fills the bottom of the cup nicely, but on the upper section they're all baggy. The cup width is just nice for her. The centre gore is too wide. I guess for a full-on-bottom breasts, this model is not for them.

Somehow I feel this bra does nothing for her breasts. They just sit there...and no lifting. Probably it's because of the too big band. A 30" is too tight on her although her measurement is 30. The muscles must be the cause, so there aren't squishy. I'm gonna alter down the band and the centre gore a little.

This bra fits me just fine. I've got fairly shallow, full-all-over boobs. I don't like that despite being a plunge bra, it doesn't really bring my boobs closer together. It is fairly supportive and practical though!

Comes up smaller on the cup and back

I want so much to Love this bra. But it just doesn't feel quite right.

The look of it is gorgeous. I love the black with multicolour bird brint.

it gives a VERY upfront look. and feels supportive. But I was looking for a nice rounded shape as I have seen many describing they get with this bra. I have seen so many rave reviews, I was excited when I found it on sale and decided to give it a go. The band is a little big. I would normally go for a 36 band in Panache. However I have seen many say it runs tight or firm in the ... band. So as the store did not have a 36 FF, I decided to try the 38 F. The band does feel a bit like it will ride up and looks a little that way. But its the shape it gives me, that i am not happy with. I feel like maybe its a bit too deep for me. Its not too bad on my larger side and slightly more rounded. But the other side seems more pointed and there is a little bit of empty space at the top of the cup where the lace meets the other fabric. And a little bit of wrinkling at the side.

EDIT: I decided to send this back and ended up finding a 36FF elsewhere. am still assessing the fit of it.

This is one of my first Panache bras where I feel like the cups weren't waaay too wide for my size. I usually have this problem with Panache. The cups/wires extend a bit wider than my breast tissue on the sides, but not too badly.

My only problem with this bra is that it is sadly a bit too small for me. I love the stretchiness of the lace over the tops of the cups, but they are still a little too small for me and it cuts in at the top. I am very tempted to try one cup size up, but at the same time I want the cups to be a bit deeper and not have the wire width change at all.

A nicely made bra overall. I can definitely see why it is so popular. I also love the plant/bird print!

This bra fits... fine. Only fine though. I get some quadboob going on during certain times of the month. The band is a bit on the tight side. It's fine when I'm standing up straight and walking around but sitting down it can start to feel restrictive and I'll just end up taking it off if I'm at home.

That said, it's very pretty and I'll probably end up buying it in a 30 band someday.

I first bought this bra in a 32J, but found the band to be so firm that I could hardly do it up, and the cups were empty at the top, so I exchanged for the 34HH and found the fit to be spot on, visually. I get a decent forward projection, and uplifted shape without having to tighten the straps much.

However, the bra is not very comfortable to wear, and it's definitely not a bra I can forget that I'm wearing because I always 'feel' it. I have a very soft/squishy chest and back area, and the underwires poke and squeeze me a bit too much for ... my liking. I tried to bend out the underwire ends under my armpit, but this was a mistake because doing so made the inner ends of the underwires dig into my sternum (although less so the more I wear the bra).

*edit* After 3 weeks of regular use, the bra has become a lot more comfortable than the first wear, but it's still not that great and the center gore sometimes itches. I think for comfort I just need more stretch in the band.

this bra has a very tight band and thats what i love about it. at the moment this is the bra i feel most secure in. it has three set of hooks, it covers all my breast tissue perfectly and the amazing snug band. i dont feel uncomfortable after wearing this bra for hours, i actually just bought a second one because i love it so much!

actually thinking about it, there is one thing thats bothering me, the bit of the band on the bottom of the cup kinda turns itself inside (does that make sense?) and really hurts. its easy to undo but sometimes a bit ... annoying. although that does not happen all the time.

to be honest its not the prettiest of my bras but i still really really love this bra!

i have now changed my mind, this bra is unbelievably uncomfortable. every time i wear it im in pain because of the band under the cups turning itself inside. its so bad i just want to rip this bra off after wearing it for a few minutes.

I love the cornflower blue color of this one and the Panache quality is always good.

This is my first attempt at a plunge bra and my breasts are just too soft for this style. They ooze out in the middle.

But my breasts are very close set, so the lower gore felt very nice and I might try again in a different size and brand.

The one time I wore this bra, it felt very comfortable but the quadboob was just too much.

I'm still figuring out my bra size (got this in 34G), but in this style I know I need to go up at least a cup. I'll likely post a fit request and link it here. I get a quadboob when I scoop and swoop, and it tends to spill toward the center. I'm guessing the center spillage is due to the cut of the bra and the less-forgiving-than-lace nature of the fabric? The band fits fine- it's quite snug, but I like the secure feeling. I'm sure it would stretch in a week or so. I measure a 33.5 rib, so going up in the band makes ... it feel too big (even when I go down a cup). I'm also thinking that when I go up a cup size it will give me just the right amount of relief in the band. I'll likely trade or sell this bra, as it really does me little good due to the quadboob effect.

The wire does poke into my underarm when I move certain ways, but only on my bigger boob side (left boob is slightly larger than my right).

When I tuck my boobs a lot it ooks great, but I guess I shouldn't have to tuck for that effect. : )

I bought this bra after the G cup just didn't fit right with the wires, but this doesn't fit either. I have quadboob, breast tissue at my back and under my armpit! Yet I can't fill the bottom of the cup? I presume it's because the cups just don't have enough depth in them for me.
Looks like it would be a pretty bra, just doesn't work for my boobs in either size.

I'm confused by the Tango bra because I bought this size and I feel it's perfect until I lift my arm up and the sides of the cups aren't filled, at least I don't think they are? It looks like my breast crease ends well before the width of the cups do?!
The wire against my sternum kills though! It digs right in to the front of my breasts, in the middle. But I can't decide if it's because it's too high or too low?!

I'm new to all this so I'm not sure on what's right and what's not. I bought the size below and that doesn't fit either - quadboob!!

Updated on Feb 19, 2013 Flag this

So there is a slightly-noticeable-under-a-knit-top quadboob that happens when I scoop an' swoop, which is fixed by minor shifting yet only temporarily. It took me a while to notice that there is wrinkling at the bottom of the cup (like an unoccupied sliver of kinda collapsed cup space) as I can't really see that portion of my boob. I had to know to look for it. : ) There is also a bit of wrinkling on the sides in the band section right next to the bottom of the cup. I'm not sure if this is due to the cup being too small by overall volume, or ... if it is just too wide and shallow. I am leaning towards the latter in this case.

The band fits nicely and the wires don't poke at all. I don't notice the quadboob when I put on a low cut top, plus it looks excellent top less after the minor shifting.

It also seems as if the bra may shift downward throughout the day when I wear it. I'm not sure what's up with that, cause the band is definitely snug on the loosest hook.

I'm still new to sizing so I'm not entirely sure how to compensate for the things that [should] bug me about it. I'm sure I will keep it though cause I love how it looks and fits, even though it isn't perfect. I'm looking forward to wearing it to bed, if you catch my drift. ; )

This is very tight so far in the band. i have only worn it 3 times, but it is most comfortable with one row of extender hooks at the moment.
The cup is fairly true to size, maybe a little bit generous. I think that i will choose the 30H next time, but the GG is okay.

I bought this bra because I need a 34FF (my 34Fs are giving me that orange-in-a-glass effect, and not filling the bottoms of my bras). The band is tighter than I like it, but I'm sure it will stretch with wear. The lace is stretchy and less itchy than a lot I've tried on (and you can't really see nips through it, which I think is a plus). It also has a smoother front than most soft cups I've seen and --while not quite a T-shirt bra-- it does show a lot less under soft/stretchy fabrics than either my Chantelle Demi or Lepel Plunge. This bra definitely pushes my chest forward and helps my posture. I wish it came in more colors because I really actually don't need another black bra, but this one fit too well for me to leave it in the store.

This is a great bra for full on top uneven breasts. The stretch lace on the top of the cup makes it seem like the bra is custom made for you. It is very supportive, nice round shape, and I don't shift around in it. The band is very firm even after several washes and wears. If you are in between band sizes I would consider the larger size. The cup sizing is accurate. Also the lowered underwires under the arm are a welcomed improvement. If you suffer from constant quad boob give this bra a try.

Update: I put in the measurements after wearing the bra for a couple months so the band has stretched. This bra takes a while to break in but is well worth the pain. It is now a comfy bra and the band is comfortably snug. Can't wait to get this bra in a lighter color!
