I love the fabric on this bra - smooth and soft. Cups seemed 1 or 2 sizes small, escaping from sides, and spilling over top....

I loved this bra until I lost weight. It was comfortable for all day wear and very supportive. The only issue I had was that the straps were too wide and would fall off my narrow shoulders.

I have two of this bra- one in hot pink with a grey lace overlay and one in peach with a white lace overlay. I got this bra in two colors, thinking it would fit similarly to the 30H Royce soft cup bra I have. Unfortunately, it's way too small in the cups on me. I get crazy quad boobing. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The peach is definitely a little bigger than the pink, though.

Apart from that, I really like this bra. It's much more uplifting than the Royce. The lining is soft and silky, and the lace overlay is pretty (though not as high quality, I feel, as other lace bras I own.) The band is a bit too stretchy for my taste, but it's comfortable and doesn't ride up.

Pros: Pretty!
No underwires, obviously.
Gives good support for a bra without underwires.
Comes in pretty colors- I got the peach and hot pink ones.

Cons: Band is stretchy.
Lace is a little delicate and might wear out quickly.
Cups are small.

I think I fit right in the middle of the 32G and the 32GG, the 32G is a little tighter in the cup without cutting in and the 32GG's wires extend just a little beyond my breast tissue on the sides.

The 32GG has a thin, soft, fuzzy lining on the underside of the straps which is really nice; the 32G doesnt' have that though they're comfortable without it.

The cups themselves are the tiniest bit itchy, I'm hoping a few washes will change that.

I am almost satisfied with this bra! Pretty certain the 34K would fit much better in the cups; I've got a little spillage on the top of the cups and the sides. The color is a great match for my skin tone (although I do hate that Panache calls it "nude"). Band is comfortable, not too tight. The bottom part of the band does fold up on itself after a little while, but many bras do that because of my shape.

The lace was as stretchy as they say, but not quite as comfortable. It felt much itchier than I expected. The shape was soft and rounded, which I liked, but the cups weren't quite large enough to fit without cutting in on my larger boob. I would have tried to find this in a 30H if it was more comfortable.

Fits exactly like the Tango II Balconnette, which is no surprise as they are the same bra with slightly different materials. Tango Luxe has satin over the center gore and wings, plus satin trims on the cup egde. The straps are halfway padded with satin overlay. When I first tried the bra on, the straps were really squeaky (think those fake snowballs that are filled with potato flour or something) but after I washed the bra that has, luckily, stopped.

For some unknown reason the Tango II balconnette and Tango Luxe have started to fit me nearly perfectly. No quadboob, bottom filled ok, looks nice. The center gore is of course still a little bit too wide for my close-set boobs. But not uncomfortably so. Just a little bit. These are my favorite bras at the moment!

This is my go to bra. I have almost zero bounce and am comfortably secure most of the day.
the outer part of the underwire pokes a bit toward the end of the day but this bra is perfect otherwise, and I consider it worth it. I just try to be able to take it off before it starts to poke
Ive had it for almost 2 years now and it has hardly stretched at all. I love this bra. Its not cute but its great for under t-shirts and for daily wear

The shape from the side is round and uplifted. This bra is a bit too small on me and my nipples sometimes try to make a run for it, so I think a 28J would work better. However, the material already comes up high on the sides and rubs my underarms near the straps and is quite itchy in general. So I think the 28J would just rub my underarms even more. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I hate that the wires come underneath the band. The bow on the center gore is long and sometimes tickles my underbust. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

All in all, I'd rate this 6/10

I now have this bra in black and ivory, and the fit is almost identical (as it should be), but the cup seaming in the ivory seems to be a touch off; the seam between the top embroidery and the mesh bottom causes a bit of "internal quad-boob." I'm not sure how else to describe it, but even though overall the cup fits well, I bulge out over that seem. It's not a enough to make it unwearable, I just have to wear a thicker shirt or a cami underneath. I really like the shape this style gives, and the appearance (very feminine and soft), but it is not the most comfortable bra. The underwires are 1-2 inches longer than some of my other bras, and this causes some rubbing under my arms; it's not the wires themselves causing the problem, but the material running between the high wires and the straps. Still, I wear these pretty regularly. The straps themselves are slightly padded or fleeced, which really helps at the end of the day.

See 30J for a full review.

The band on this bra is too big on me. I usually wear a 30 band, and a 32 if the band runs small. But Andorra has quite a stretchy band. Cup-wise the 32J does fit me much better than the 30J.
But I would really need a 30JJ in this bra, which sadly Panache does not make.

I was so close to liking this bra! The lace along the top is stretchy, so fits lovely around the edge and avoids the quadboob effect I bump in to with firm edges of bras often. But - the shallowness of the bottom, firm area of the cup makes the cup too small for me. I get a quadboob effect along the edge of the colored-firm part of the cup, where I spill out and stretch the lace a bit. Band and other fit elements seemed fine; the shallowness of the bottom of the cups was striking. It did push up to give a very rounded cleavage effect for me; I just couldn't see to adjust to get a smooth profile.
I returned this bra, but I'll probably keep an eye out for a larger cup size to try again in the future, to see if it was the size that is my issue, or really the cup shape that didn't work for me.

This bra used to fit great, but my breasts have grown a bit, and now I believe that a 32 FF would fit more comfortable. It's a shame, since I did love this bra.

The band fits fine but the cups are just funky. The seams show up under clothing and create a strange shape when viewed from the side. I do like how thick the straps are and how it's a multi-way.

Stretched the cups go out to 8" wide, so not a lot of wire stretch which is good. Wings are 4.5". I want to like this bra as I got it so cheap, but I'm quadboobing. The cups do seem to hold me forward, just not forward enough. I have soft breasts, so they fall in with the too-wide neckline. Also while not immediately poking me in the armpit, the wire there is annoying. I think it's a good wire width for me, but the cups aren't big enough and the plunge is too wide. Plus I had to immediately fasten on the tightest hooks to get it snug. If I were to try this again, I'd need to go with at least a 34GG.

This bra fits comfortably for me, but it gives me a pointy shape and slight wrinkling where the nipples are.

The sides could be a bit higher too.

I will never buy another Panache - the wire under my arm is a nightmare! I cannot wear it.

Cute and sexy bra. It was a bit tight in the band but not uncomfortably so. Also, the cup seemed a size too small.
