Very supportive, but in the beginning it poked me at centre gore. The bra is a little bit bigger in most of mearurements as the 32JJ - Panache » Tango Ii Balconette (3251) Aqua blue version. Under the wires there is ca. 1 cm material, my other Tangos bent after some time, and ribbed me. But until now this it the better fitted bra for me. I wish Panache will do it from softer material under the wires.
Pros: +supportive +round form Cons: -Poked me in the beginning -Material under the wire can be swing and can be rubbed
The bra fit perfectly. I could not feel the rubbing under my arm and at center gore, as at black/white or nude see my previous review 34JJ - Panache » Tango Ii Balconette (3251) .
I initially wasn't sure about this model, but I'm glad I went and ordered it. I picked it up because it was a good deal. I got the black with red flowers print which I wasn't overly in love with when I previewed it, but I actually like it better in person. Edited: As of 12/2014 I grabbed this bra in the light blue as well. Seems to fit equally well.
Compared to my other @Panache and @Cleo bras, this one has more narrow straps which is great. When I tried it on I had to double check if it was supposed to be a balconette bra since it ...fits more like a full coverage bra than my other balconettes. I don't mind this, but that may be a negative to some others. The band is supportive, didn't feel tight and wasn't too stretchy. Cups seemed to be a good volume for me, though I had nursed my baby shortly before trying it on so it might be tight when my breasts are more full. I had read some reviews which suggested this bra runs a little small, but I have found the fit acceptable so far. The top edge of the bra has a little stretch to it so that may allow for a bit of leeway.
The wires might be a little wide for me though they seemed about on par with the other @Panache bras I've tried on. I found that the wires rub in my armpit somewhat uncomfortably, which is an annoyance. I'm not sure if I can adjust it so that's less of an issue, but if not that may make me not want to wear this bras for long days.
I really like the shape of this bra. So far my best fitting bras are my @Panache @Floris in 32JJ and @Cleo Chloe in 32J. The Floris gives more of what I'd call a torpedo boob effect (though it's not super noticeable with my clothes), but the @Fern gives me a very nice, rounded shape which I really like.

This bra feels quite supportive. The band is quite firm, so some find it more comfortable to go up a band size in this particular bra. I thought it was okay on the loosest setting, though a 34 band might be comfortable as well.
I felt like the cups run a little small on this one. After scooping and swooping, I get a bit of quadboob. I tried it on shortly after nursing my son with one breast and the quadboob was noticably less on that side but still apparent. It's not so bad as to prevent me from wearing this under a shirt, so long as it isn't exceptionally tight fitting. I think if I were to buy this again I would get a 32K.
Wires felt comfortable, straps are a slight bit thinner than some other models. I find the lace on the cups to be quite cute.
This bra works! The wires might be a teeny bit wide for me, but not enough that it pokes at me uncomfortably. The mesh at the top of the cups allows for some stretch, which is very nice since I am breastfeeding and throughout the day my breast size does fluctuate. The rose print is very lovely - I love the colors and the details on it. It gives me a slightly torpedo shape when worn alone, though with clothes it looks fine.
I wanted this bra to fit so badly. It is so pretty and feminine. However, the band was far too lose and the cups were too big. The material had no give and forced my bra into a very unusual shape. I also found the shape was all wrong. It gave me a bulge out to the side and a bulge in front with a bizarre flat area in-between. All in all this bra was a disaster for me.
I closed the band comfortably, hurrah! The cups fit with only small gapping at top...maybe the depth? Otherwise I am pleased to finally have a keeper. It is very pretty and I because the color is "Nude", I finally have something to wear under everything.
Theres a very large metal circle attaching the strap that sits on my left shoulder (clearly my most droopy side) this is painful after a few hours. I constant skoosk it back up to my root as never stays in place Also looks like a granny bra.
This bra almost fits me. I think if the cups were a bit wider and/or a slightly different shape so that the wires didn't dig into me under my arms, and the straps were set at a slightly different angle, it might fit very well indeed. This is what passed for fitting until I found something slightly better.
The embroidery does show through clothing some. As with all my Panache bras, the underwires are stiff and heavy, and the bit of band beneath the cups rolls up.
I got voted down. The bra works for me :-) but there's some that i'd put in the bin
The downvote was probably because this is not useful information. It would help to know how it compared to other bras, what features made it fit you well. Just saying "I like it" wont help other ppl know if it will work for them or not
