I had an amazing fit with Panache Clara, except I needed a lower gore and a bit more projection. I heard Jasmine was what I was looking for and went for it, sure this would fit me well. So I was pretty disappointed when it didn't. I get a lot of wrinkling on the outer side of the cups, the side sling pressing my breasts flat on the outside. I did like that the gore was lower and didn't float off my body, but the fit was disappointing on me.
This bra is so not for my shape. True to size, but small in cup for me and I think its not great for FOB. Will have to say goodbye to it as well as its sister style, the Ariza.
The full cups with a high gore makes this feel so nice and secure. Only the gore might be *too* high for me- while the lower portion of the gore lays flat the top edge floats a bit between my breasts. The bottom of the cup on my larger side also wrinkles a bit. Rather unusual. I'm used my smaller side wrinkling because it can't fully fill the cup, but this looks like the opposite problem. Possibly Clara runs a bit small in the cups. The straps are sort of short as well, I had to near fully extend the straps for a comfortable fit. Still this is as close as I've gotten to a bra that really fits- and it's such a pretty one! The fabric is nice with a satiny sheen and the construction seems solid.
What I like about this bra, is that it's a plunge bra. It can also be converted into a strapless, or perhaps a cross back bra. It's actually very comfortable. I don't want to take it off! What I dislike about this bra is that there's a prominent seam that goes across it, and it's very visible under shirts. Also, the wires are kind of squeaky.
Why do I keep buying Tango II's when they don't fit exactly right? The Tango II would be the perfect bra for me if I could find a size that didn't give me a little "orange in a glass" in the tips of the cups. I have a Tango in a 28 band and the cups wrinkle, so I bought 30D, and the cups definitely cover better, but the band is too stretchy, and the cups still cut into my tissue. I don't feel like the 30D is nearly as supportive as the 28DD because of the difference in band size. I love unlined bras and they are few and far between in my size range. I love having Tango's happy colors to choose from, because wearing "nude" every day gets really boring. I'm usually too cheap to buy Panache's matching shorts, but I find decent color matches in other, cheaper brands. If I could just squeeze my boobs so they'd be a little thinner at the tips these cups would fit well.
This bra came as part of the findig my size journey. No, my boobs are not gonna get smaller, so I don't think it would ever fit. Would probably try it in a larger cup and smaller band size.
This bra looks OK. The band feels tight enough on the loosest hook, which is good, but that's about where the good fit ends. The top of the cups, while not as "closed" as the Panache Porcelain Lace, are still noticeably closed off and so I get a bit of a weird shape there when viewed from the side... but it doesn't really show under tops. The straps, as I find with all Panache/Cleo bras, don't adjust long enough (and I'm 5' 2") so they feel too tight. The sides also cut into my underarm muscle after a while. So, this bra doesn't get worn often. Great color though!
I have this bra in white and got it with the intention of dying it green but since it doesn't fit I'll be selling it.
It's a cute bra and I really wanted it to work but it seems to run quite big in the cup. The 30D fits more like a 30DD and I suspect there is a shape mismatch as well but it's hard to tell with the cup being too big. I think it needs a bit of upper fullness. The band feels true to size and sturdy.
The wires are a bit firm but would probably break in okay.
Aesthetically the bra is lovely. The cut paired with the white gives it a bit of a vintage look which I really like. The embroidery looks like it might snag easily.
If you want to sell this I would love to buy it!!!!!!!!!! :D
I would be more than happy to sell it to you! It's not at my house so I can't measure it until the weekend sometime probably, but I should have pictures up tonight.
Yay! No problem, I'm somewhere else for spring break anyway and won't be back to my dorm for a few more days. I am super hoping it will fit. After trying the 30DD one, I am pretty sure the 30D will fit perfectly :O :O :O
Don't forget to take measurements! I just got around to taking the measurements on mine, and it definitely runs big in the cup. Most of the 30DD bras I measure have depths between 7 or 7.5-8 and my 30DD Ophelia was 8.75!!
Thanks for the reminder! It's still at my friend's house but my tape measure is at my house. I'll be over there tomorrow though. I'll throw my tape measure in my bag now so I can't forget to bring it.
Wow, just measured it and came up with a cup depth of 8.5"! I would have thought there would be more of a difference between the 30D and 30DD.
Man, that IS SUPER WEIRD! This bra seems to have a slew of problems in my opinion, lol
Makes sense that it appears to have been swiftly discontinued I guess. Since I'm guessing you're not interested anymore I'll list it soon.
I'm not sure! How much were you thinking of charging for it?
Maybe $8 including shipping? I hadn't really thought about it.
I love the look of this bra, but the molded cups don't fit. While the top edge is flush against my chest, I can tell there's a lot of space where my shallow breasts don't fill the cup. The band does ride up a bit, but I don't like my bands that tight and don't need that much support.
This bra looks beautiful, but I have some issues with it. I ordered this online when I was still trying to figure out my size, and first of all, I feel like I could have done better in a 28E. The band feels a bit too big (I was fastening on the tightest setting when I first got it) and after doing swoop and scoop, I have a bit of quad-boob on my bigger side.
Another thing that I'm not a huge fan of is the fact that the seams show through t-shirts, and on a cold day, forget it. But I've always been more of a fan of lightly lined or slightly molded cups, especially since they seem to hide the unevenness a bit better.
I really wanted to love this bra, but it didn't work for me. The sizing seemed to run small, and the cups seemed too close together for me. It might work for someone else's shape, but it didn't work for mine. It is very pretty though, and I love the colours
I decided to try this bra because my sister tried it and I got to see how beautiful it is in person. Seriously, this is SUCH an amazing/beautiful bra. The photos online don't do it justice. It's sexy without being super revealing and its soft and not scratchy at ALL (and I'm picky about that too). I would buy this in a 28E if this bra came on that size... Unfortunately my boobs are getting bigger and this bra is clearly too small! I would like it in a 30DD/E...
I just HAD to post photos of this bra! It looks like I'm wearing a shoe that's too small or something! Clearly my root is too tall and I have too much upper fullness for this bra, but MAN is it pretty. Oh well, back to Amazon it goes.
The Fern is probably the most FOB bra I've ever tried. I don't have tall roots, but it flattened the hell out of the tops of my even-fullness breasts and gave them the saddest, pointiest shape.
Omg so glad to hear other peeps had the same experience I did! I ordered fern and Jasmine at thesame ttime and they couldn't be more different! I always thought I was fairly fob myself until I tried fern...
I have gone from thinking my boobs were 1/5 and really FoB to 2/5 now and maybe thinking they might even be more like 3/6 (in the fullness guide on r/abtf)... It's crazy how your boobs can change over time and how you can understand them more with the right information! So I knew this one wouldn't work super well with me, but I love black and floral, always have, and really wanted to just... make sure... that it wouldn't work for me. I love how crazy this looks on me though! It's comical how much of a difference shape can make in the fitting of a bra!
I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top.
This bra has really wide but hard wires which are way too wide for me. That's why I'd like to sell it. The cups are very shallow and true to size. In my opinion the band is true to size too but a little strechty. It might wear out if this bra is worn more often then I did. It's a sister style of Panach Harmony and Panache Confetti and could be an option fpr women who need extraordinary wide wires and shallow cups.
I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top. I usually wear this bra when my boobs are smaller during the first weeks after my mestruation.
The band appears to be true to size, the cups also does. This bra has really wide wires which are about 1,5cm too wide for me. Since it demands more volume on top than I can acutally offer the upper cup wrinkles a litte.
This bra is beautiful, and I was very disappointed that it didn't fit. I think the band may fit closer to a 28 than a 30, which was good for me, because my comfort level is between the two sizes. Overall, I think it would have been a great bra had it fit me more properly.
Strange cup formation. Wires are not wide enough, there is no side boning which I prefer, the bottom of the cup is more shallow than I need. Material is very soft, plunge style, the straps are removable front and back(metal hooks) possibly to make it halter or cross back style.
If you want to sell this I would love to buy it!!!!!!!!!! :D
