This is the best plunge bra I've ever owned. I'm not sure about the size—I have a vague memory that the store where I bought it might have been out of my regular cup size, and so I went up a cup. Interestingly, the band has also stretched out more than my other Panache bras—when I buy a replacement, I'm going to go with the 34FF.

This is definitely the wrong bra for tall roots, balanced fullness, a bit shallow, and fuller in the middle. I felt like the gore was trying to attack me, but at least the band ran true to size. I've got to give them kudos though on the pretty pattern.

This one fit pretty close to perfect, but had slight quad-boob on my larger breast. Also, the band fit but tighter than some other brands in 38. I also did NOT like the shape this gave me.

I got orange-in-a-glass in this bra. Quadboob at the top with wrinkling at the bottom. Probably an issue because I'm too full on top for this bra.
The bra is mostly pretty comfortable and the shape it gives isn't awful.

Not great for the asymmetrical - it fits my left boob beautifully but rides up under the armpit near my slightly smaller right boob. The fabric feels a bit scratchy and the band is a bit thin.

The cups are unusually tall, which is good if you like that sort of thing. I'm personally not a fan. Still, the overall impression is nice, especially under clothing.

I bought it on clearance and it was worth $14, but I wouldn't pay full price.

This bra is so close to fitting right that I almost want to cry. This is the only bra I've ever found with cups that are deep enough without being too wide. Unfortunately, while a 34 band fits me perfectly, I get a tiny bit of quad-boob in the 34H and the underwires are just a touch too short on the sides, plus the shoulder straps sit in a slightly weird place. I really wish this came in larger cup sizes, because I suspect that a 34HH in this style would be my ideal bra.

Ugh. This bra was horrible when I was smaller and now that I've grown a cup it's even worse. If I hadn't gotten it so cheap I would've sent it back but it would've cost me as much as I paid for it. The worst is the profile: flattened pancake boob with the point of the boob about an inch below my nipple! Ugh. It seems to be a Panache thing as my Sophie non under-wired soft cup does the same thing though it fits much better overall. I may give Panache another chance only because I've read that those that don't get along with the plunge do ... better with the balconette but I'm pretty much put off.

I will give Panache this: it is a quality bra and it is comfortable despite me having to pull the straps out to the max unlike Curvy Kate which is just an exercise in pain. However, the pancake boobs issue trumps all in horror.

The band runs a little tighter than Freya's but not enough to size up. I can't say anything for the longevity of this bra as it simply exists in my drawer as a reminder of what not to order again.

I've been super excited to try Tango in this color. Since most of my newest bras have been from Panache's Cleo line and I've sized down to 28's I thought maybe this youthful looking bra would have a similar stretch and ordered a 28H. Just a few weeks ago I was able to try the Nude version in both 30G/30GG in a store and although the GG had a bit of wrinkling I wasn't sure about the comfort level in the G. So here's the "sister size" ... down from the 30GG. The band is actually very tight and could absolutely not be fastened without aid of an extender. There is definitely wrinkling on my smaller side and the wires are too far back even for my liking although I'm usually OK with them a bit farther back in my underarm than other women may be. When reading reviews of this bra the material seemed to be an issue for some but for me it is quite alright. It feels kind of similar to Cleo's Alexa (http://www.bratabase.com/browse/cleo/alexa-6631/) as it's quite rigid and almost a woven material but still relatively soft enough on my skin. The major drawbacks for this bra were actually the wires and the shape. As soon as I put the bra on the center gore wires were pushing so hard onto my chest which felt like someone digging their three middle fingers in hard. At least in this size where the cups are too big the shape is so pointy I think I'm going to put my own eyes out! Hopefully I can find a 30G or I'll have to wait until another Orange colored bra comes out. *sigh*

Measured immediately before wearing.
Purchased & Returned mid-July 2012.

A pretty, classic bra that almost, almost fits me: I get a very slight "orange in a glass" effect with a tiny bit of wrinkling just above the nipple because because I have quite firm, a bit bottom-heavy breasts and it's a plunge style; I generally do better with balconette styles. I do need a plunge bra for low-cut tops though, and the wrinkles are so slight that they're not visible underneath a shirt, so it doesn't really bother me.

The straps are fully adjustable, and I think the slightly-glossy embroidery ferns are very sweet. The cups of the bra are quite sheer. I find it otherwise extremely ... comfortable and well-fitting. The band seems nice and tight (I think I could actually do with a 26 if they made one, so I like Panache bras because they usually have tight bands). I will update this review if the band stretches out faster than usual.

Like most Panache bras, it does tend to give me a slightly more pointy shape than I would like, but it's not unnatural or unnattractive by any means, and would probably disappear entirely on someone with a bit fuller-on-top breasts.

Not owned, not worn, sent back.

I bought the "Chili" colour, which is really a reddish orange. Beautiful yet simply adourned bra, truly plunge contrary to many others.

But VERY stretchy, and I mean very, I'm ordering a 30 band size (when my underbust measurement is 84cms, ie qualifies me as a 34-36) and small in the cup (going up two cup sizes), worse than my usual Fantasie bras.

The fabric is soft and looks comfortable, but I don't know if it's a style for me. Quite pointy, though this might be due to the bra being very small when I tried it on.
