Fairly tall wires, natural shape, band runs big.
This is the fourth Tango II balconette I've ordered. It's got narrow, fairly tall cups with a lot of lower projection, and is made in a sturdy fabric (which unfortunately shows a bit under clingy tops.) It has a lot of upper coverage; it's more like a full-cup bra than a balconette.The straps are VERY wide-set on this bra, so if you have narrow or sloped shoulders, the straps will slip off your shoulders constantly. I really wish they would move the straps in just a touch. The straps are quite long (good for us tall women,) but the fabric used doesn't hold the hardware in place very well, so if you like a pretty firm strap, it may slip on you.This bra has a lot of side coverage. If you have a lot of problems with bras hitting your Tail of Spence, this one probably will, too. The wires are also on the tall side, but not extremely tall--not the bra for women with short roots.This bra produces a natural shape—a bit pointy. If you hate pointy, don't go for this model. It places the breasts toward the front of your body (the narrow wires) producing a nice smooth line along your ribcage.The black fabric is stiffer than the other colors of this bra. It softens a little after a few washings, but is definitely stiffer and scratchier than the other colors. This bra also runs loose in the band; if you're between band sizes, or just at a band size, you are definitely going to want to get a sister size (down one band, up a cup.)

excellent fit, flattering profile, plenty of side-support, has held up to abuse, worth the $$$
i got this in a 32F. i have been so relieved to find the panache/cleo brand bras and like almost all in their line, this bra offers comfortable, flattering support for my very large breasts. my breasts are wide-set on my chest and this bra finds a balance where it sort of guides them front & center where i prefer them but without the wire pinching or digging into me. i often have the problem where even in a bra that fits otherwise, my breasts tend to "pop up" out of the top a bit and create that unflattering double-boob look, and when the straps are adjusted correctly, this bra doesnt do that. it is fuller coverage which works great even under tank tops, and i can wear it for long, sweaty hours without it shifting around too much or sort of losing its shape. in fact, i have sort of abused this bra by wearing it sometimes 18 hours straight almost every day for several months, only alternating occasionally with another cleo, and it has held up quite well. it costs more than the target bras but it is a world of difference in comfort, fit, and profile for anyones body, but most especially for women with very large breasts. when this one gives out ill likely buy three identical replacements.

Boobs sitting pretty
Panache bras are all I wear because nothing gives me better coverage and support for these Size N boobs of mine. Yes I said N !The first time I wore this I was being fitted in Nordstrom for bras for busty women. I couldn't buy a regular bra and I have always been sized abnormally. This review is for women with that one boob bigger than the next. I'm not ashamed to mention this because hopefully this will help someone. These bras are made well but this one in particular has a wide band and that is important for support. Never buy a bra with a tiny band unless you are a C cup and under. Down the road you will regret it because those nips are going to look up instead of straight ahead.I trust Panache 100%. I know they can be a bit expensive but you will love how you look in your clothing and your back will thank you!

I wouldn't call it a balconnet but it is supportive.
This bra technically fit if you consider the band and cup alone but I was shocked by how much it covers up. It is described as a balconnet so you'd expect to be able to see the top of your breast when you have it on. This bra actually fits more like a full coverage bra as it fully encases the breasts. This is fine if that is what you are going for. I was looking more for a sexy, black bra that might turn my SO's head, this bra is a bit more modest than that.The lace on the font will create an uneven appearance for thinner shirts but has worked fine for most of my long sleeve and thicker articles. On a functional level the full coverage provides a lot of support as the back at least two inches wide. The wide is a bit wide for me but I have a small rib cage so it might just be me. Not what I was going for with this bra but it filled its purpose completely.

correct size, awkward shape
once again, on my adventure to find a bra that fits, ordered this one out of an interest and wanted to give a chance to a brand i have not tried before. after trying this one out, i would try this model again, when i'm about two sizes smaller. ordered size 34e - when i first picked it up, it seemed very light and kind of see through, so you can tell that it's thin. it has 2 hook closure so, as you can imagine, the band is somewhat "thin" - i could almost feel it digging into my skin; straps seem sturdy, with light padding but also thin - for me personaly straps alone would cause shoulder and back pain in a couple hours; cups are made of thin see through material, but seem sturdy. the cup was actualy big enough to contain me, the shape of the cup was somewhat unatractive - they looked like cones, which was rather disturbing to me and awkward. had to send it back.

Pretty but STABBY ... both with the underwires and your bust shape
I bought this bra in 4 sizes (32 FF and G, and 34 FF and G), determined to get one that worked. Well, the 32FF fit best, and the cups nicely covered the whole bust area, but the underwires go up weirdly high in the center and kind of stabbed my sternum. (Some reviewers had this issue with the wires up under your arms, but I didn't have trouble there--only in the center.) This happened with all 4 of the sizes, so I think it's an issue of the make vs personal fit.Also, this definitely gives you a 50s torpedo shape to your bustline. Even with the underwire issue, it was pretty and priced well enough that I considered keeping it ... until I put on a shirt and looked in the mirror. Everything was very high, separated, and pointy. I know some women like that lift, but as a somewhat younger consumer (29) I prefer a more rounded, natural look.You also don't really get any cleavage line since everything is lifted so far apart. Again, that may be preferable for you.

a favourite of mine we need more colours and sizses !
I love this bra but I'm annoyed all the colours are selling out they really need to keep this range going,some of the new panache styles are bad fitting I bought one of another style and hated it, so its currently adorning a scarecrow in our back garden! well recently I have had to buy a yucky skin colour of this bra that was all that was left, when I wanted purple and teal... hey sellers get some in 42 e pronto, its so annoying! Also I managed to melt a few of these into fish net goo in the tumble dryer so I have taken to making sure they hang up to dry naturally after they have been washed. But these are a great fit , I'm a cuddly short big busted female biker that cant be doing with tight this or bad fitting that....I have a ton of Harley Davidson to stuff down a road so cant be hoisting up bra straps and re adjusting slippy bras while riding along ... noo nooo nooo. Hey these bras fit good and by the looks of things are very popular .............so come you suppliers get some flippin more!!!!!!

underwear drawer clear out...
Having lost a lot of weight recently and my bras not fitting properly I measured myself (instructions via Internet) and ordered this bra to see how it would fit as Panache is a well known brand. I'm 100% delighted with my new bra so much so that I have ordered another 3 in various colours. The old saggy bras have been binned and the new ones are in the drawer.I love the back of the bra as 2 hooks is more feminine than the others with 4 hooks. The sides are perfect as they are quite deep so there is no boob fat hanging over, I can wear a vest top and not worry about boob/back fat hanging out. The underwire is comfortable and does not dig in. The straps are slim and comfortable and I love the material. All in all a beautifully made bra that has been well designed for the lady with the fuller figure.Us ladies with the fuller figures do not want to wear "granny" bras, we want to feel and look sexy and this bra fits the bill. Thank you.

Great price and everyday bra.
Was really surprised, I have this bra in white and nude and I fits perfectly, but this one is just slightly to big. The back size fits ok but the cup size is a 1/2 cup size bigger maybe even a whole cup size, but I'm keeping it anyway. Even the straps don't tighten as much as I need them to. This bra does have fantastic support and gives a great round shape. It sits high up the breast so better for under higher necks. The wires do sit high under the arm, but I still find it quite comfortable. This is my everyday bra and I always go back to this. The only thing I hate about these is the wire does come out them after not very long (sometimes after only a month or so) but I do wash my bras in the washing machine (I know bad girl) so it's really my own fault. But since I can now get them here for this price instead of nearly £30 I won't be to worried about them getting ruined.

Who needs a Wonderbra!!
For girls who have large boobs like myself this bra is the answer to all of your problems. The bra offers fantastic quality and support and is available in a vast variety of colours and sizes. Bravissimo sell the exact same bra but it is way more expensive in there. Do yourself a favour ladies try this bra even just once I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Comfort Padded Strap Bra
Nice fit, very comfortable, straps are slightly padded for extra comfort, so won't dig in, what a bonus.The only thing that isn't perfect is the colour, its not lemonade yellow, its more acid yellow, luckily I have two blouses to wear this with, one is a bright yellow, the other isn't as bright, but is thick material so it won't show through.
