I love the fit of this bra. I recently got sized in a boutique and had to buy new bras. This one is my go-to bra on most days because I can wear it all day without the band getting too tight or the side boning digging into me, which is a problem with a couple of my Parfait bras. The tea rose color is really pretty and compliments my skin tone. I love the look of the bra without clothes.
It did take me a minute to get used to the way it looks under clothes because there is a distinct difference in shape from my other ... bras. It doesn't really bother me anymore, but it took a couple weeks for it to grow on me. They give a very "natural" shape, so if you are used to molded bras or plunge bras or bras that push your breasts together in a rounded shape, you might not like this at first.
My only complaint is that the seam shows through fitted shirts. Otherwise, I love the bra because it is super comfortable.
Note: For best fit, I recommend bending and scooping your tissue into the cups. If I put on the bra without scooping, it looks like there is too much fabric on top, but when I scoop, the bra fits perfectly.
*The only reason this one is "not a fit" is because the center gore is high and it pokes me after wearing it all day.
Update: I've grown a cup size and now the center gore is fine, but there's not enough support for the added weight of my boobs. I realize, too that I probably wasn't pulling the back of the bra low enough for best support when I was still a 38G.

For me, Panache runs big in band most of the time and big in the cup always. I found Tango (both I & II) to be a funky fit with obscenely wide straps as well. Sizing down didn't help either. :(
It's funny since it's one of their more popular styles.
