Really was not excited for this one, but it was on sale in my size, so I thought I'd try it out. I was surprised that I actually really liked the style and color (I got the 'scarlet') on me.

And it was so close to fitting me: the band was great, the wire seemed to be comfortably enclosing my breast tissue, on first putting it on it felt really comfortable and supportive, but the shape seemed slightly wrong. Like it was a bit too deep or not rounded enough on top or something. After wearing it for a bit I also noticed it was ... really itchy, so that wasn't so awesome either.

Might have kept it anyway since the wrinkling wasn't very noticeable, except trying a shirt on over it I found the shape it gave me (partly due to the extra fabric, I'm sure) to be ridiculously pointy. It looked pretty silly on me. So back it goes.

Edit: So actually I did end up keeping this because I needed a bra with a different cut that didn't poke out of a dress I was wearing to an event, and this was the best one I had on hand that was reasonably comfortable and fit okay. After wearing it all night, it was a bit itchy but otherwise still comfortable so it'll be good to at least have for certain occasions.

Great fit at first but the band I both lost some weight AND the band was very stretchy to begin with. I am having some issues now with the underwires pushing down and flaring outward slightly, and have to wear the bra on the middle or tightest hooks. The gore tacks very well, the cups are filled, the material is not scratchy, wires are a great width for me and it seems to accommodate that I have a bigger space at the base of my breast and then am close-set near the top (maybe splayed roots?). I would buy this again in the sister size as so far ... it is the best fit I've found even with the band loosening up so much. My only complaint is that it doesn't give a super round shape, it more or less supports my breasts in the shape they naturally have (slight ski slope shape) so if you're looking for a rounded shape this might be a miss. Overall it's a great everyday bra and I will definitely buy it again in a different size.

The Panache Tango Ii Balconette in 34F has way too much extra room in the cup for me. The 32F also has extra room but the wires cut in too narrow for me.

I'm really pleasantly surprised with this bra - it's reputation for fitting no one seems almost as great at the Cleo Jude! The wire width is very comfortable, and my soft-like-pudding breasts fill the cups nicely. The embroidery on the cups does give a faintly lumpy appearance over my breasts when I wear a thin t-shirt, though. Also, this is the stretchiest band that I have ever encountered. I totally sized down!
