The shape of the cups is too pointy and cone-like for me to wear, though it seems to fit really well.

It fits well (though the smallest amount of wrinkling in my smaller boob), is comfortable, it just makes me feel like a granny when I wear it. And it gives me torpedo boobs. I should have known! I am returning this one, just because it cost so much.

I am having a really hard time finding a strapless bra that is still small. I really like the Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless but it is juts way too wide for everyday wear.

The Porcelain Strapless looks good on and feels fine. It does not slip on me but the bottom of the the cup creates some funky wrinkling (can't be seen under clothing) even though the cup runs almost small on me.

Full coverage. The bottom of the cup is filled nicely, but I have wrinkling in the nipple area on the top. If I had a quarter of an inch more boob on top, itd fit perfect. I dont know if going down a cup size would be worth it or not.

It technically fits perfectly, but is rather tight all around. I can, however, bear to wear it all day. I'm hoping it will stretch out a bit more with wear.

So, after a month of wearing it about once a week, I once wore it with a fitted dress. After a day of wear, it caused chaffing at the side of my ribs! It's not at the breast tissue, but at the side of the ribs where the underwire is located. While my skin is healing, it makes it painful/difficult to wear other bras. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I think this is indicative of my having wrongly measured myself. I think I should go back to a wider band, smaller cup.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness it fits! I started with the 30FF in this bra, and I liked it okay, but the smaller cup is so far the ONLY bra I have that actually does not gap in the cups. It's a miracle, I swear. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I've heard the Tangos are hard to fit. It wasn't for me, other than getting the right cup size. Maybe shallow, wide-set, wide-root breasts are what the Tango needs, I don't know. But I got this in raspberry, deep pink and I have a pretty green color (peppermint?) on order. Wish all my bras fit this well!

Exchanged a Masquerade Amira that hated my guts for this bra. It is a vast improvement for me; I hope it works out for the lady that got the Masquerade Amira. I am going through a sheer phase right now. It's summer and 90+, so the less boob sweat the better.
My only concerns are that the gore looks like an evil wide gore o' d00m (I can see why its previous owner altered it), it looks pretty pointy, and there's a touch of orange in a glass. But the purple color is very pretty.
This is my first real Panache bra (other than the Masquerade Amira I exchanged for it, and my army of Cleo Lucy's). So far, I like the Cleo Lucy better, but I'll have to update when I wear it more.

Update: the gore is indeed a gore o' d00m, and the apex of the cups does not line up with my apex, but... it's purple. :/

This being the first properly-fitted bra I've ever worn, I don't really know what to say. It was given to me by my sister after she purchased several bras and found that none fit. Instead of returning them she decided to re-sell them, but asked me to try them first. The Panache Superbra Sasha (5291) was the only one that fit, and she gifted it to me to start me on my bra journey. When I did my own measuring I found that I probably wear closer to an D/E than an F (explains the wrinkling on top and empty space on bottom), and that a ... 30-32 band fits me (surprisingly!)

For the first time, the gore touches my sternum and I have a bra that actually stays in place! No boobs showing when I bend over! Yay! It was a little itchy to begin with, and I wasn't sure how to feel about such a snug fit but I got used to it pretty quickly. It took wearing it for an hour or two, a couple of times for it to soften up, but now it fits great! Because it's a balconette it gives me the whole pointy-no-bra look, but when I buy my own I'll look for demi-cups or molded cups.

All in all:
Pros: Snug, comfortable, gore touches sternum, under-wire doesn't dig in, band isn't too loose/ tight, straps adjust perfectly, cups cover entire breast, bra stays in place.

Cons: Wrinkling at top/empty space on bottom, pointy-boob look.

I really liked the lace detail on the bra and was hoping it would fit great. Unfortunately, the Loretta Balcony just wasn't compatible with my shape. The wires were too wide, the bottom of the cup was wrinkling, and the top of the cup was cutting in a great deal. I should have done some research before ordering, and I would have realized that Panache generally has wide wires, which just doesn't work for me.

This bra is a touch too shallow for me, so I get a bit of quadboob if I scoop really thoroughly, and the bottom pushes down and wrinkles if I don't pull it up now and then. It's not such a problem that I can't wear it, and I love the shape it gives under clothes, so I work with it. It's very comfortable and looks smooth and round under t-shirts.

This bra is a touch too shallow for me, but if I pull it up every once in awhile and scoop a few times a day, it still works. It's very comfortable, and although it seems to have a minimizing effect, I like the shape it gives me overall.

I usually get slightly padded bras, but had been wanting to try an unpadded one for a while. I liked this, it fit, but the wires dug into my boobs in the center. I ended up sewing part of the center gore together and now it fits wonderfully.

This is the perfect tshirt bra for me. I usually fit into a 28 band, but I believe that Panache tends to have very tight bands, so the 30 is perfect for me. That, plus the fact that it is very stretchy in the band makes this a super comfortable bra.

The cups are perfectly filled by my bottom-heavy breasts - no gapping in the top like I am used to with bra cups that come higher up. I have average-to-narrow shoulders, and the band of this bra fits right in the 'sweet spot', the dip between my shoulders and where my neck ends. This fits perfectly! Definitely an everyday bra that I don't have to worry about the bra itself or my nipples peeking through my shirts.

Shape was a bit odd, but I think that's because I quadboobed. Gave a weirdly rectangular shape. Maybe in the right size it would be better ?

This bra was a really poor fit for me. My breast tissue starts high up on my chest, and the rim of the cups cut in causing both empty space AND quadboobing. The bottom of the cup was no good for me either, since it swoops into a deep U shape and leaves empty space. The cups are pretty tall too.

It is very lightly molded and flexible, and I really wanted this bra to work, because if it were the right shape for me it would be super comfortable. The soft material is amazing and it has potential to be a great every day bra. If you have breasts with a narrower base and more projection this might work for you.

I really really liked the fit of this bra but I didn't keep it because I need something I can wear under tees and the seams were just too thick. I was disappointed because I'm having trouble finding things that fit comfortably and are flattering. I find in panache that i vary between cup sizes E and F and also have tried on (eden) where I would have needed a larger band than 30, but that is the only one. The sienna 30 F fit well but was not flattering. The 30 F in most others I tried such as the viva were too large

I tried this bra in three different sizes, and this one had similar problems to the 32E for me; wires were too short and the shape/cut of the bra clashed with my shallow shape; the cups were far too deep and too high for it to fit appropriately.

Great looking bra and it fits, but the center gore pokes and I don't feel like it offers much support...bouncy

ill-fitting: pushes them away from each other and down no matter how I re-adjust/pull the bra up. I think the underwire just sits way too low.

I think this is one of my best fitting bras I own - not perfect; but, closer than I've come before. It's comfortable enough to wear all day and night and is cute with the lace lining the top of the cup. I love the colors it comes in (not just nude and black but a deep red and navy). I think the wires are just a little too wide for me though. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
