In every Panache/Cleo bra other than the Tangos, I need a 34DD. However, the band on the 34DD Tango II plunge was too loose even on the tightest hooks (and I had the same problem with the Tango Luxe).
The cups somehow wrinkled and gave me quadboob at the same time. Not attractive!

This bra was too big. I bought it online after looking at people with similar measurements, and reviews on this site. But the G was too big. I think I need an FF. The band was perfect, however. This was my first time trying a 28 (AUS 6) after trying 32 (AUS 10): too big... 30 (AUS 8) too big. Both the 32 and 30 felt fine when I tried them on, but after only 2-3 wears, they were too loose. I have a 29 inch rib measurement, and most (not totally reliable) online calculators told me to wear a 30. But the 28 is a perfect fit in the band.
The wires poked into my chest, but I think this was because the cup was too big, and the wires too wide.
The fabric felt nice, decent quality, and the colour was a pretty, cornflower blue.

I love the cornflower blue color of this one and the Panache quality is always good.
This is my first attempt at a plunge bra and my breasts are just too soft for this style. They ooze out in the middle.
But my breasts are very close set, so the lower gore felt very nice and I might try again in a different size and brand.
The one time I wore this bra, it felt very comfortable but the quadboob was just too much.

I bought this bra after the G cup just didn't fit right with the wires, but this doesn't fit either. I have quadboob, breast tissue at my back and under my armpit! Yet I can't fill the bottom of the cup? I presume it's because the cups just don't have enough depth in them for me.
Looks like it would be a pretty bra, just doesn't work for my boobs in either size.

I'm confused by the Tango bra because I bought this size and I feel it's perfect until I lift my arm up and the sides of the cups aren't filled, at least I don't think they are? It looks like my breast crease ends well before the width of the cups do?!
The wire against my sternum kills though! It digs right in to the front of my breasts, in the middle. But I can't decide if it's because it's too high or too low?!
I'm new to all this so I'm not sure on what's right and what's not. I bought the size below and that doesn't fit either - quadboob!!

I got this one off eBay. I knew it probably be a bit too small in the cups, because my 32H Tango II Balconnette is. But as H is the largest it comes in and 34 band would be too big, I ordered it anyway. Just to have a go!
The funny thing with this bra is that even though the cups are technically too far apart for me, and the wires are too wide, the bra actually fixes itself. The central gore sort of folds up under the pressure, making the cups shift up towards the center, and, guess what? The wires end up being right on spot.
Too ... bad the 32H is a bit too small in the cups. I'm hoping that this will be corrected if I lose a bit of weight and/or manage to finally stop breastfeeding. But who knows what other issues that will bring.
Anyway, even with the fit issues I can and will wear this bra (until I find something better). The gore is low enough not to show in low cut tops. I love the "everyday cleavage" that isn't too cleavage-y. And the bra's sturdy enough for my daily activities (provided I have the opportunity to arrange myself every now and then). And I love the aubergine colourway.
I'd recommend to try this bra when you're looking for a decent, good quality everyday plunge. If it fits, you'll love it!
Edit. I don't know quite what's going on here. My measurements haven't changed but the fit of my bras has... This one I've had to wear with an extender. Otherwise the band is too tight, the bottom of my breast can't fit in the cups and because of that there's a lot of bulging over the top. My guess is that a 34GG would actually be a good fit. Meanwhile the Tango II balconnette in 32 H fits almost perfectly. I suppose that because the gore collapses on me, the band is strained more. On someone that has wider set breasts, the band would not be so tight.
Edit 2: I've found that I'm not compatible with this plunge shape after all. My boobs are soft, and tend to spill out a bit in the middle.

I am still trying to fighure out what cup size I wear, I recently found out that I'm a 26 band not a 28. I can wear some GG cups. I bought this bra when I wasn't sure of my exact size , and it's too late to return.This is a beautiful Berry color by Panache. This bra is brand new with tags attached, never worn only tried on. Panache is known for having smaller bands than Freya and I agree, its very comfortable and light, but it is not my cup size.

For a long time, this was the only everyday bra (as opposed to sports bra) that fit me properly without the wires digging in or the straps being too short. I've recently finally found one or two other models that are almost as good a fit, but this is definitely my standby, and I have it in about 10 different colours now.

This bra is quite comfortable, and gives me the round shape that I desire. The gore lies flat against my sternum, and the underwire is snug at the root of my breast. I think I may need to go to a sister size with a smaller band though, as I've recently lost some weight - my boobs seem to have stayed the same volume, but I've lost a couple inches in my underbust.
I'd definitely buy another one of these!

Quality-wise, the tango seems like a pretty good bra - the fabric is very soft, I like the magenta color, the straps are fully adjustable and comfortable. However, I'm pretty disappointed with the fit of this bra. I had a good experience with the panache (cleo) lucy, despite it being the wrong size, so I ordered the size in this I thought would fit, yet somehow, it doesn't at all. I still get quad-boob at the top of the cup, while a strange wrinkling effect is happening in the nipple area of the cups. It seems to be constructed for torpedo-shaped boobs like a bullet bra, making it both too big and too small at the same time. It looks extremely awkward under clothing. I'll be returning this bra.
