I have no idea why I waited so long to try the Tango. Just last week, someone on facebook mentioned that Tango fit bigger than Jasmine for them. I'm on the verge of out growing my 32JJ Jasmine and even my 32JJ Floris is getting small. So I found this on clearance on Amazon, with prime shipping and free returns (have you used an amazon locker for returns yet? So sweet! I have a locker about a mile from my house!)
Yes. Yes this DOES fit bigger than the jasmine. It looks like a much better shape for my full-all-over omega boobs. ... I mean, there's some wrinkling, and some gapping at the top, but we big girls cant be so picky. If there's no quadding and good support and no pain, its a win!
Sorta tempted to buy the "Heather Ombre" which is a dusty purple, but I think I'll wait and see if my weight drops. After all, I have a 75K S rokoko coming from Ewa and I'm in negotiations to buy a (probably) never-worn 75K S Mojito, so I should be ok for a bit. Read more 92 more words
Looks great on you and colour fits your skin! ive tried Tango twice and it looked like mountains on me :| it is definietly not designed for tall roots as mine!
Yay for a bra that fits!
I have a Tango that I grew into. I overlapped the wire channels at the gore and that took care of the wrinkling at the top: http://bra.pe/IaPm/.
So, I had tried a 32JJ red floral floris last year, and it seemed huge and I returned it. But this was a good deal, NWT, and this white floral colorway I had actually bought myself for a birthday present in 32J, and was pretty bummed that it no longer fit, so I was pretty excited to have it. Which is probably part of why i will forgive some problems with this bra!
It is slightly too big. There is some loose fabric on the top - but this happened with the 32J when I first tried it, too - since there is no stretch, there ...is very little wiggle room between loose fabric and quadding. But the loose lace does not show under shirts
The wires on my smaller side poke me in the armpit, esp in certain positions (like driving). I dont remember any other bra doing that so much, and I assume its a combination of slightly too wide wires - I do have empty fabric on my smaller side - and the slightly higher wires in this size.
As usual, its a more projected (almost pointy) shape which I like under more shapeless clothing, to give more definition. The cups give great support. It feels like my boobs are strapped in to a harness with lots of hardware holding it in place - which is not super comfy, but at least it does not require as many adjustments throughout the day as my EMs do.
Its big enough, firm, and I do like the pattern, but no, the proportions in this size are not quite right for me.
Note, I did wear this, until a wire broke Read more 177 more words
Excellent support!! Wow! I completely understand why you recommend this bra. Gorgeous!
Yes, when I fit the 32J, it was the first bra I'd found that really, really fit! I was so sad that I grew out of it. But i cant seem to stop gaining weight . . . but at least the girls are still supported
Looks great on you .. very good support too
dbmamaz I wonder if the Thea, which is a sister cut with stretch lace on top, would be right fit you in the 32J? It gave me so much lift my boobs pointed up, but there was no cutting in because of the firm stretch lace top.
I have a jasmine in 32JJ, and it fits fine .. similarly to the floris, but slightly better I think, but the fabric is sorta itchy. Mostly, i'm happier w EMs. I need her upcoming purple SF!!
Your Jasmine probably fits better because it's a four part cup instead of a three part cup like this one . I find that the three part cups have that extra room on the side near the armpit and always a bit of loose upper cup lace on me. Something to consider . I am beginning to think I need a purple sf lol
I really, really like this bra on you dbmamaz! It looks really good!
Thank you! I had bought THREE Floris when I was a 32J, but then I outgrew them and fell in love w EMs. I do wonder if I ever lose weight if they'll fit again - you never know how bodies change
Jasmine is currently my best fitting bra, with Ewa's SF coming in second (but one cup size up from this).
So i decided I needed a second one, but not in black. I almost bought this bra when it was on sale (not much on sale, really. Like $10 off) But it sold out in my size! I was determined to buy the new blue floral coming out SS 2017 AS SOON as it hit amazon - but it came out missing several J and JJ sizes, including 32JJ. Luckily this one came back in stock and I scooped it up!
It seems to fit slightly ...smaller than my last Jasmine - or maybe I'm still gaining weight (cry!). No quadding, but no extra room up top. Similarly rough fabric to my black jasmine. But as usual, Jasmine gives me great projection so my breasts dont fold on the bottom, like they do in Ewas. The band and wire are very firm, needing only maybe one adjustment throughout the day, as opposed to every two hours with Ewas.
Yay for panache Jasmine!! in blue! Read more 83 more words
ack, edited it but its not updating lol - extra text in first paragraph. whatever
Beautiful bra and great fit! Glad you are so happy with it!
Yay! I'm glad you got your blue Jasmine.
Amazon price fluctuations are crazy! I just got a 34G Panache Dahlia that had been $49, then $22, $27, back up to $49, then down to $21 when I bought it. The day after it was down another dollar, now it's $55. Not different sellers either, every time the seller was Amazon.com.
If you can wait and check prices every so often you can save a lot of money.
Wow this Jasmine looks much better irl than advertised online! Looks great on you :)
I agree Jasmine's fabric is a bit rough. But still a well designed bra with a forgiving fit!
I love this print. It reminds me of summer days. The fit is also beautiful.
You'll notice that the color changes between my pictures - I dont think its quite that bright, super-vivid blue that it looks like in some of these pics tho. Idk, its upstairs hanging on a hanger in my shower tho lol - measured it, washed it!
It is much nicer than the stock pictures looked .. and the fit is really nice . No wonder it feels better than than your others look at that depth almost two inches deeper than your ewa's . Actually two inches that I need, I need to pick up a Jasmine to try . Though scratchy fabric sounds meh
yeah, it gives the boobies room to stretch out! When i started this journey, I kept saying they were so soft, they'd flow like water in to any shape. It took a long time to realize thats not quite true. They are long and omega.
Finally tried Jasmine and wish I'd tried it sooner!
Floris was my favorite bra until I outgrew it - but I mostly grew in fullness, and when I tried a larger Floris, the shape was all wrong - too wide, too deep.
But this bra fits similarly to the way the 32J floris fit me - almost pointy, which i like under over-sized shirts. Great uplift, easy fit for me! It is slightly loose at the top on my smaller side, but thats fine - I needed this for a PMS bra. I might even borrow a pad for my smaller side, from other bras.
Oh yay, glad you finally got one and you love it! I actually tried on a 34J Jasmine (only size they had) in my local store the other day with you in mind. I was going to message you to let you know it fit me, besides the band being too big, but never mind now -- you already got one. :) Hope the stretch lace works well for you as a PMS bra.
truthfully I hope I lose weight and never wear it! But that probably wont happen. I still sometimes wear my 32JJ - Curvy Kate » Lola Padded Balcony Bra (SG1901) during PMS, and I HATE that bra, so a little extra lace on my smaller side is just not a thing at all.
That looks nice! Maybe something I should try...
Well if you lose weight you'll just have to size down ;-) it looks great on you!
The Panache Loretta is based on the Ariza – cut. It has narrower and lower wires compared to older Panache styles (like Tango or Harmony). My main issue with this bra is that the cups are not open enough on top for my full-on-top boobs. The top edge of the cups runs tight and cuts in. I'd probably need to size up to a 32k to get rid of some cutting in. Since it's not severe and does not really show under clothing, I just ignore it, since everything else about the 32JJ fits just right. I recommend to size up if between 2 cup sizes and if your boobs ...are full on top. The band runs true to size in my opinion. The fabric is smooth and soft, much better than the scratchy Ariza-fabric. The straps are fully adjustable. Cups are not sheer in H+ cup sizes. The color ( I got the cobalt blue) is even more pretty than on the pictures.
edit: march 2014. I owned this bra now for 3 months and it's too small now. I get now visible quadboob, also I realized that the cut is all wrong for me, I won't try another one in a bigger size. The top section runs just too tight for my full on top boobs. A bigger size will not make the issue go away. Read more 117 more words
This bra doesn't fit me at all. (I bought it some years ago on clearance, non-returnable, and it has been sitting in a bin of clothes to sell for a while. It didn't fit me when I first got it and it doesn't fit me now.)
The wires are, I think, a little narrower than some other Panache bras, although the center gore is fairly wide. The cups are very shallow, and seem to run around one cup size small. Definitely not good for full-on-bottom breasts, as it is especially shallow towards the bottom of the cups.
The cups themselves are three sections: one small inner lower section, one ...large outer lower section (which makes up the majority of the cup) and a small upper section which is non-stretchy lace. The lower sections come up quite high. The lower sections are satin with a lace overlay, lined with some kind of mesh-y material.
The straps are not as much of a problem as far as digging into my arms as some other balconettes, although this may be because of the narrower cups, that are definitely too small. The straps material is nice, padded but still smooth, and a good width. They are only partially adjustable, with a ring separating the two sections of strap.
This is a partial band bra, with the cups sticking below the band. The band is made of stretch lace, which is very pretty, and quite soft and comfortable, if not that secure-feeling. The band is *extremely* stretchy. It's possible they changed this on future versions of this bra, because it doesn't seem like everyone thinks this, but on this specific bra, the band is very stretchy indeed. (As in, this bra, marked a 32, would fit someone who usually takes a 36, I think.) I close it on the tightest hook, and I can pull it quite far away from my body. It's not a ton bigger than some Panache 34's I've tried, but some, I think.
So all in all, this bra which is marked 32JJ, I think fits more like 34HH/36H, and will work best on someone who is full on top, and has boobs set low on the chest and shallow at the bottom. If you like the color, it is pretty, with the lace and everything. Read more 274 more words
Oh thanks! This review confirms for me why Sienna didn't work on me! The wires on me felt very narrow as well so it's good someone confirms this! Also the description about the construction confirms my theory that had this bra had better wires it would fit me well. So no Sienna for me.
Runs large in the cup, compared to other panache bras in a similar cut for my body. Had to take in the seams to get the upper lace to lay flat and to give a round shape. Might be more of a issue of to tall than an depth issue .however after altering its a very alluring set not too young and frilly very much in my taste not floral cute but still fun. The matching briefs are very comfortable. All and all I am pretty happy with this bra .
pros + full on top friendly due to stretchy lace + the color works quite well with my skin tone + quite narrow wires (in a 32JJ!)
cons - I am not able to wear it for a full day. The wires give me severe pain, the pressure of the gore is too much and I even get trouble breathing, I felt like this bra tried to kill me (more on that later on that review)
- Not enough lift from the center (it's not even the gore to blame, I don't think a taller gore would be much better...) it's just that all my boob volume gets distributed towards ...the center and there is nothing that really lifts there, so I kinda feel like my boobs will fall out of the bra at any time.
- Stretchy lace. Oh the issues I have with bras that are not roomy enough for my full-on-top boobs. Stretchy lace could be the solution for all the quadboob issues. But it's also a problem! It just doesn't give enough stability.
- I find the band quite big, I need to wear it on tightest setting and still can fill a whole hand under it! It's weird to think that I need a tighter band? Or does it just feel too big because the bra isn't that supportive?
- I dislike the projected shape. (Picture where I am wearing a black top) It's the side-support causing this, bringing boobs towards the center but since my boobs are already quite center heavy it gives me too much projection.
I figured out a way to make the shape less projected and the bra giving me more uplift (pictures with the white top): adjusting the straps shorter (it's actually not that difficult to adjust them further than the padded part of the straps allows) but then with the shorter straps it comes more strain on the shoulders. I need to wear the band on tightest setting to prevent it from riding up. With that the bra starts to feel very supportive but also quite constricting. A lot of weight is on the straps which causes neck pain and there is a a lot pressure on the gore which caused pain in my chest and felt like I couldn't breathe. After a whole day of wearing it got too much. I had to get out of the bra asap and cannot ( I don't dare to) wear it any more since then https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I even felt pain and out of breath after removing the bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I am very sad as I think this bra is pretty and a good design that will work on many different shapes. I think it will work very well on smaller, less heavy boobs. Read more 366 more words
Funny, my band on my black one (which i'm wearing now) is quite tight. I also dont think it looks nearly as projected on me lol. I do love its round shape. I wonder what makes it so painful?
I bought as an alternatíva to Tango. It is very similar but the material is firmer Than Tango. Really close to 32JJ - Panache » Eclipse (FL9002NUE) , smalldeviation in the cup deph. I would like to use it but it is still to small for me. Back is smaller Than the Tango with similar size. Straps are not padded.
This is probably my best fitting bra. I don't look, nor do I measure as a J or JJ but this is the only bra I've found that's comfortable, gives me a great look and shape, and fits my breasts correctly. Every other bra I've ever tried, even in the J cups don't fit correctly, this is the only one. Would recommend anyone over an H cup who's having trouble finding the correct fit and size.
Edit: This no longer fits at all. It's extremely uncomfortable for me due to weight loss that helped change my breast shape (went from it fitting on the sides to it digging in really bad). I still recommend the bra to anyone with wide roots having a hard time finding something that fits properly but I need a more projected, narrow cup now.
I'm not happy with this bra, because I have a disconfort feeling in it.
It was recommended by fitting lady as an alternative for 32JJ - Panache » Tango Ii Balconette (3251) but it isn't. I could not decide, what is really wrong for me, the shape or the size of the cup.
After some minues duing wearing I got pain in my shouldern. Somehow I feel as well, that the band is to tight, it is not enoug streng and the straps are to wide on my narrow shoulder.
+Cener gore
-Bottom of the cup -Quadboob -I feel, that my boobs can move during moving separatly
This bra looked horrible on me. Quad boob, and my slightly engorged (I'm nursing) boob actually just hung there saggy. And the wire cut into that breast which also happens to be my larger breast, which indicated to me that it was probably too narrow for me. The 32K - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) fit much better and you can read my overall review on the bra there, but ideally I would need a 30KK/L.
The Panache Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) has been my go to bra. When I gain weight and my Envys stop fitting, I know it's past time to get resized. Everything from my previous review of the 32J - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) still applies, although the wires feel less comfortable now that I've been exposed to the wonder of Ewa Michalak bras.
Blush: This is a Panache black bra. The cut of the bra itself is similar to Tango. But it has many small details in the from of the bra. With black contoure. It is a very nice bra. I think it ruha a little bit smaller as the usually Tango but currently I cannot try it. Back is similar for Panache Older Tango variance not the mesh material. I bought it some years ago but it is still run to small to me. I’m really sad for that.
Oh Panache Tango you amazing bra, why you don't work like I expected you to work?! Why you fail me now? I have 32K - Panache » Tango Ii Balconnet Bra (3251) that is currently too big in the cups I cannot even fill it with my PMS-boobs and 30K - Panache » Tango Ii Balconette Bra (3251) which is slightly small in cups cutting in on top (on PMS-boobs). Also the 30K band was a bit small but now fits, 32K band is slightly big even. I thought going for 32JJ was a good idea. I couldn't resist this new lovely bluebell lilac color. ...
How it fits: When I put it on I was baffled about how unsupportive it felt. I mean it's a Panache Tango?! I expect only the best support and boobs of steel from it! But this bra… I get very weird wrinkling in the cups, it's minor but really really weird. I don't know why that is. The gore does not lie completely flat, it's hard to explain but it's like my ribcage is curved in the opposite direction than this gore. It lies flat at the upper end but it almost feels like my boobs could escape under the gore at the lower end? But I can fill the cups on bottom without wrinkling. The wires on the sides are about 1-2 cm too wide like usual. So it should fit like my 30K Tango but it doesn't. I measured both bras and 32JJ has a taller gore and wing than 30K. I wonder if this 32JJ bra is too tall for me? But what other size would I wear?
Another very weird Thing I experienced: I feel like my bands ride up lately on several bras and also on this bra. I don't know if I only imagine it, and it does not really ride up because of other fit issues? Also I can fit 1 hand under the band in this bra but not in the 30K bra. Also the shoulder straps cut into my shoulders, which is also kinda normal since there is some pull on them from my boob weight but I feel it's more lately. Read more 259 more words
Ok. The wrinkling is because the bra is too tall I think. That may also be causing the gore to untack at the top.
I also think you may be adjusting the straps too tight to remove the wrinkles, which is pulling the band up in the back. The straps may be set too wide, too, which provides less support and causes more wrinkling as you angle them in a bit to sit on your shoulders. What happens when you loosen the straps to sit lightly on your shoulders?
I don’t know if you’ve tried them, but I believe Elomi Etta, Tia, and Soraya/Sachi would be shorter and still supportive in the upper cup in a 32JJ. The first two have very firm wires closer to Panache wires and would likely be narrower than the Tango. They all have more centered straps, lots of upper cup support, and are shorter in the cup.
cupandahalf thank you for your comment. I'm so glad I don't make things up… I'm currently a bit all over the place with my emotions, I feel scared because I have no bra that fits besides that Bravissimo Erin but I only fill it with my PMS boobs. Because lately I had wrinkling in all bras I bought. Of course I would adjust the straps so that the wrinkling goes away and the bra feels supportive. Straps also cut in a lot and I had neck pain lately. I get 30JJ in a sophisticated pair calculator but also 32HH if I pick that I prefer a looser band, which is ridiculous. Ewa Michalak gives me 70KK as a size.
I have not tried any Elomi bras since my old 34L days. Elomi Caitlyn was always too wide and weak, but I liked it to lounge around the house. The bras your recommend sound really good, I will check them out. Narrower wires than Panache on Elomi? I'm interested in them.
I know now why this was too big. Last week I wore 30K tango twice and it gave me massive pain on the ribcage, so that 30 band is too tight. I added back an extender to the band, and there was gaping in the cups. That's why I thought 30K fits smaller than 32JJ, it was just a too small band making the cups feel smaller. (32JJ cup is a bit taller though…) I think if I should try 32J or 32HH like a sophisticated pair calculator suggested?
I bought this because I was starting to quad out of my other Florises, but this is clearly too big. I'm even on my period! But i do seem slightly smaller than I was yesterday, I think. I'll probably keep it anyways - my first one, the loose lace seemed to calm down with one wash. Not quite sure yet.
My measurements do seem slightly bigger than other 32JJs, which is a bit odd.
I use a Panache TangoII 32JJ, so I decided to bay a Ariza. But the size is not the same. The Ariza is smaller with 2 cups as my Tango. It is very nice I I hoped it will be good, but it is definitely to small.
This bra was a size too big, but I couldn't tell at first because the band was too tight and pulled the underwire and the rest of the cup down. The shape was pointy, but there was plenty of projection. I think this would fit me well if it was one cup size down.
This looks great on you. Love the colour too.
