I have had this bra for a while and it has stretched, but I feel I still get a good fit from the band on the tightest setting (I'm probably really a 28 but have no bands below a 30). This is a pre-pregnancy bra and is a little small on me now. I wore two different sizes interchangeably before pregnancy, which mapped to a 30E and 30F in this bra. The larger of the two sizes, the 30F, is a bit small on me now but I feel they fit me very well then. They gave me good lift and worked well with my shape, and wore ... really well. In short, this was my favorite bra for years. Now, I am getting a bit of quad-boob on my larger side, and I also notice that the strap is standing a bit away from my upper chest (meaning the breast is pushing it out too far). This is still a passable fit, though, and if I weren't nursing all the time I'd still wear it if I couldn't find a better fit.

This bra is a Panache Tango II (3251). It is too tight of a band, because I've gained weight since I bought it, but it still fits alright otherwise. The straps dig into my shoulders a lot, too, but I put that to have low set boobs. My boobs are low and wide set, large roots, bottom heavy, and round shaped. It's a comfortable bra, but the pattern tends to stand out when I'm wearing thinner clothes, which I don't care for. Overall, I'm pleased with the bra, but I cannot wear it comfortably any more.

Ok, strike SIX with Panache/Cleo! Lol, I think this was the worst fit of any bra I've tried. I assumed this would be a decent fit looking at the measurements. I usually do well with a cup width of around 5.5" and a depth of 9.5-10". So this bra seemed reasonable in a 30F. I don't even know what to say. Lol. since the measurements are right in my vicinity, I'm guessing it's just a matter of shape mismatching. I'm a little surprised since I've heard a lot of great things about the Tango, and ESP that Panache balcony bras are great for augmented boobs ... href="https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" rel="nofollow">https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Not the case for me.

The cups on this are narrow and deep, the wires barely encased my outer breast tissue, and there was all sorts of wrinkling going on. The top of the cup isn't stretchy or forgiving, so if you're even or FOT this might not work, they def dug into the top of my boobs. The cups are too far apart for my close-set boobs. I would try a 30FF, but the cups will def be too deep and the band was too stretchy and loose for me (I wear a 28 band). Maybe that's why the cups weren't fitting right cuz the band was too loose (stretched to 33"!) to pull the wires out some? Just a guess. But for once, the straps were placed just right and not too far apart. But that was prob the only thing that worked for me on this bra. The gore was also a bit too high for me. I guess I should've just known this bra wasn't gonna work - I've tried the Panache Porcelain Viva and pretty much had the same fit issues, minus the wrinkling since it is lined and "padded" some. But I also had the same problems with the narrow cups and cups too far apart, with a very loose band. And I got nowhere with each of the 2 Cleo Lucy's and 2 Cleo Marcie's I've tried. MY boobs + Cleo/Panache = EPIC FAIL! Lol!!

I'm not saying this is a horrible bra, I think it would be great if you have the right shape for it and can figure out your size. I have very round, even, firm (simply put, fake) boobs and this just wasn't working well with my shape. I'm not really sure what MIGHT work with this, maybe more soft, even (leaning towards FOB)? I just don't seem to do well with balcony styles in general since my boobs are so close, firm and full all around. I do best with plunges and halfcups/moulded, lined bras. But the quality seemed great and sturdy, well-constructed. I can absolutely, without a doubt, officially say now, Cleo/Panache and my girls just aren't meant to be https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Just not the right bra for me at all, I do better in narrow more projected bras and this does not seem to be one of them

Cups too small and not open enough on top. Creates quad boob as well as space at the end of the cup. However, the width is AWESOME - just what I'm looking for!

Well, this bra seems to actually be my size, which is exciting because I've never had one fit right. However, the center underwire pokes me quite a bit. I tried bending the wires, so we will see if that helps. I have slight wrinkling in the cups, but I think that's ok. I have noticed that the shape it gives is a little pointy and strange and this bra cannot be worn under tight shirts!

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

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.

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!

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.
