prettiest bra I've seen in an H cup with good support!
from Tampa, FL on 3/7/2008
Good bra. Great Support, true to cup and bandwidth.
from Portland, Oregon on 1/25/2008
Good bra for support. The whole thing fits well, except the top edge, which is loose, even though the rest of the cup fits tightly. Sturdy underwire, but the first few times wearing it, it chafed a bit. But I'd buy it again.
from Greenville, SC on 1/15/2008
I have struggled for a long time to find a bra...usually trying to stuff myself into a bra...I wear a 30G (UK) and this bra fits wonderfully. It's supportive, pretty, and wonderful for wear during the day and into the night. Everything about this bra is wonderful...the straps are not set too far apart, the cups are soft, the band closure is comfortable, and the bra presents a beautiful look under tighter shirts.
from Victoria, Canada on 1/10/2008
This is a beautiful bra and feels good on except for the narrow straps. I added strap wideners and that has worked.
from Pickle Lake ON on 12/16/2007
I've spent a lot of years paying well over $100 per bra because that's what I thought it took to get a good, supportive bra in my size. I was wrong. I purchased this bra in a 42H and am thrilled with the fit and support. My only complaint is that the wires are sooooo high in between my breasts that I can't wear any but the most conservative of necklines. A basic v-neck exposes the bra and so I'm limited in what I can wear it with. This is a small issue but it is the only thing holding me back from buying it in every colour available.
from Toronto, Canada on 12/6/2007
I've always loved this bra. I'm a 34HH and I get the support, shape, and style I want from this bra. My only complaint is that the beige colored bra gives/loosens more quickly and my straps fall over on occasion. Once I wash it it comes right back. In the past I have always bought this bra in the black color and have found that it doesn't give/loosen as easily or as soon.
from Winnsboro, TX on 11/26/2007
This is a great bra for the large breasted woman! It is the first bra I have ever worn that did not put stress and strain on my shoulders. I'm not crazy about the embroidery on the cups as it feels bumpy under anything clingy, but that is a minor inconvenience for the comfort.
from Virginia on 11/20/2007
At 42FFF, I was looking for more support. The bra does the classic "back rides up/ breasts sag forward" move through the day. This causes one to make numerous adjustments. The band seemed too large and the cups a little small. Plus, the embroidery shows if you wear thin material over it.
If you can stand the constant adjusting, it does give a nice shape.
from Boston, MA on 11/1/2007
I rated the cup and band size as "feels too small," but this bra did fit me--just not in the same size as I wear in other brands. I find that with Panache bras I have to go up a band size compared to Fantasie of England, but with the same cup size, and it will fit. (So 30J in Fantasie = a 32J in Panache.)
This bra was comfortable and practical, the pattern didn't show through under most clothes. Maybe not *quite* as comfy as some others (like Fantasie brand), but it has a little more uplift.
from Boston, MA on 10/22/2007
After following your fitting guide for Panache bras, I ordered this and couldn't be happier. I looked down and didn't recognize myself. It lifts and separates like no other bra I have. I'm glad the straps are wide-set, but the elastic worries me. I always wonder how long they'll last before being stretched. The embroidery shows through tight or thin shirts, but otherwise it's the best bra I own at the moment. No sagging or squishing. I'll be getting more.
from Niles IL on 10/1/2007
Nice bra but not very comfortable and white bands darken and wont become white even with bleach
from Ontario, Canada on 9/29/2007
I loved this bra.
from Sunnyvale, CA on 9/27/2007
I like this product, however, the straps have too much give (too stretchy).
It has taken me about 40 years to find the perfect bra and this is it! Finally a full figure bra that actually fits. Total coverage under the arm and fits close to the sternum.
This bra is still a great fit, but I have some suggestions. My main complaint is that the straps are thin and stretchy for my size, a 42G. This bra does offer moderate support but would be so much better if the straps were thicker and non-stretch. Also, the sheer wings could be double-lined like in the larger sizes. Oh, and finally there should be a 3-hook, 3-clasp in the back. A 42G chest is still very large and heavy.
On a 38H, this bra should have had wider straps - let's face it: that's a lot of weight to hold

from fredericksburg, tx on 9/7/2007
I love this bra! In the past I stuck with Wacoals but lately quality has lacked. The Tango has wowed me! Great fit EXCELLENT support, wires are not obtrusive. Rests solidly on sternum. Perks up my posture! As long as quality remains, count me a customer for life!
from Ottawa, ON on 9/2/2007
I am so ecstatic with this bra!! I have a hard time to get a comfy 38HH bra that looks sexy, is comfortable and flattering. I have already ordered a second one in a new colour as the fit, support, and price are amazing! Definitely a bra you must get!!
from Rockville, MD on 8/28/2007
I ordered this bra - based on all of the other positive recommendations, and it did not disappoint! It's technically the same size as my old bras - but this really fits! No pressure on my bra straps on my shoulders (and that's a novelty!) Separates like no other - very comfortable - and flattering. I am ordering more.
This is my second review of this bra, and the only reason I'm writing is for those out there wondering if they should give it a try--YES! I have been a DDD or higher since I was in my teens and could never find a pretty bra that actually fit. I thought I had found this in a Goddess bra, but realized quickly that I was once again "making due". This Panache bra is everything the reviews state...it FITS, and supports, it shapes nicely, and is pretty. Yes, I would still like more colors (like the pretty pink in the photo) in my size (42H), and maybe a different style, but if this is the one and only choice, then I will continue to stock up! Really, just give it a try! I doubt you will be disappointed. I only wish I had found it sooner. I'm buying more.
from Wisconsin on 8/21/2007
I have this bra in 38HH, the first bra I've ever found that fits PERFECTLY, it lifts, seperates, and is so comfortable, finally all those cute shirts fit!!!! And after several washes they still fit like new. I highly recommend this bra for bigger busted ladies, it's just amazing. Finally a bra that isn't an ugly granny bra and has amazing support at the same time. I pray this bra is never discontinued, it's the only one I'll ever buy!

from Midwest on 7/24/2007
I have thrown away all my other bras! I HATE shopping for bras because I can never find one that fits well. The shops just don't carry anything except granny bras or vice-grip-compression-torture- devices.This bra actually touches my chest between the breasts. I haven't had a bra that could do that since I was a C cup (before I nursed all my children.) It is also pretty and sexy. I LOVE it. Highly recommended.I will be buying more of this style of bra [...].
from san diego on 7/15/2007
This is a great bra! I am a size 40 J and I am finally lifted, and seperated and NO UNI-B**B, or cup spillage from underneath:) By far the best bra I've ever owned. I only have one complaint: I have sensitive skin and the fabric at the bottom of the underwire is itchy. I ve washed it several times with fabric softner and it's getting better, so it's still worth it. I really wish it was made in a smooth microfiber so I can wear it with tshirts, but again it rocks so much I dont mind wearing a cami.

I just received my order today and immediately gave it a try thinking it would probably be a return (again). OH MY! YEA! Pretty and it FITS! I almost thought it might be too big for a minute, but once I was in, it was perfect. Lifts, separates (yes, it fits against your breastbone as it should), and it's actually pretty! OK, I can't say it enough. Anyway, my only wish is that they would offer some colors for us 42Hs. Let's hope it wears as well as it fits. I plan to buy more!

Excellent bra. Look awesome under knits.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Because I wear a size G, it was always impossible to find bras that actually separated me; I always had that "pillow" look and was very embarrassed. I got this bra, tried it on and was happy with the results! It does lift and separate! I am very happy with this bra. It is a bra that larger sized women like myself may enjoy wearing. I am on my way to ordering another!

I LOVE THIS BRA!! 40J.
My second review of this product.
I received my latest bra yesterday in a slightly different size than the first and I never want to take it off. The first Panache Tango II I bought was a 42J, a band size I had always previously chose to try and extend the cup size a bit. My new one is now a 40J and is sooo comfortable I don't feel as if I am wearing a bra at all. This is the first bra I have ever owned that really fits ME. My bust line hasn't looked or felt this good since I was 25. Too bad it has taken me until I am 52 to find one that fits. The underwire is very strong but doesn't poke or dig ANYWHERE and lays flat against my chest wall. The back has a slim 3-hook closure (previously I had been wearing a 6-hook back) the 3/4" straps don't dig into my shoulders and are comfortable without needing extra padding or width. Does not look at all like an "old lady" bra.
The only other wish I have is that Panache make their plunge bra design in the J cup size. I feel and look so good I want to show off!!

This is the first bra that I have ever had that truely fit like it was supposed to fit. The underwire fits tight to my breastbone and there is pleanty of cup room so that I do not hang out anywhere. What a wonder!

from Atlanta, GA on 5/11/2007
Great support with very pretty lace that does not show through most fabrics. I have this in three colors and rotate them throughout the week. It washes and dries quite well. This is one of the better options I have found for 32F

from Philadelphia, Pa. on 4/10/2007
This is the first bra actually fit properly. That is to say, the underwire actually makes the middle of the bra fit close to my breast bone. That type of fit provides very good seperation. I love this bra and believe me, I have tried many.

from Brooklyn, NY on 4/9/2007
Before I discovered this bra, I wore bras that where too small in the cup. I had back pain, headaches etc... Now, I wear them all the time, with no pain or discomfort. I love it.

from Oakland, CA on 4/8/2007
I purchased this bra in a 42J praying that the cups would fit - and they DO!! A pretty underwire bra that does not have flimsy, poking wire. I plan on ordering more this bra in as many different colors as it comes in.

from Canada on 3/28/2007
Most bigger bras are just a smaller bra enlarged but this one is the perfect shape for bigger breasts. I have a small ribcage and big breasts and this bra is wonderful, evenly distributing the weight.

from Murrieta, CA on 3/27/2007
I love this bra! I have had the wire pop out in front a couple of times. Like most, my breasts are different sizes, so the cup fits slightly different, making one wire strain. Its still the best looking bra I've found in my size (38H)
This is the best bra I have ever worn - and i have tried a lot of bras! I wear a J cup, and it provides more support than most bras, wears well, is sturdy, and is so comfortable. I bought one, and have since reordered three more.
Being big chested make fining bras hard to find! I love this bra manly because of the shape it give my chest! I look like i've had a "jog" done every time i put this bra on!

I absolutely LOVE this bra. It was so comfortable and didn't dig into my sides. The material is soft and didn't scratch. The support is wonderful and the fit is perfect.
from Seattle,WA on 12/11/2006
[...]I purchased a 38g but with the bra I found out that I may be larger, even though this is the case it is AMAZING. This is the first bra that I purchased online and this is definetely a great buy. They say you get what you pay for and I defenitely am.
It is supportive, sexy, and my husband loves it!
I know I sound corny but it is true.
I WILL BE GETTING MORE!
from San Mateo, Ca. on 11/28/2006
Truely fit me even though I need a very big cup size. I want to wear an underwire bra and this one is quite comfortable.
from Austin, TX on 11/28/2006
I am very active and usually end up "modifying" my bras to fit. This bra needed no help. Fits great, with super support. I play softball and volleyball and have trouble with support - no one thinks a 40 J should play sports I guess. Well this bra did the trick.
My only complaint is that the center wire comes up a bit high and shows under certain tops - good thing it is pretty too!
Great to find a bra in my size (I'm 30HH) that is flattering & stylish, yet comfy to wear for most occasions. I have it in all colours. Only down side is that cup size not always true. They tend to be on the small side.
from Reisterstown MD on 10/28/2006
The best thing about this bra is the full cup coverage. I tend to have one side which is much larger than the other and this bra provides the coverage I need.
from Seattle, WA on 10/26/2006
This is a great bra. It is very comfortable, and can be work under most kinds of shirts. It has a nice shape and good color selection.
from SC on 10/26/2006
I like the way it looks under clothes, it is flattering.

This bra lifts and supports as well as iron scaffolding, but without looking like it! It prevents 'big girl bounce' when you walk. The balconette shape is pretty. I find the fabric abit harsh, but overall the support and shape are worth it.

from Fresno, CA on 10/6/2006
I was surprised that a balconette could be so comfortable. I like what this bra does for a sweetheart neckline--fabulous.

from Jacksonville, FL on 9/12/2006
This bra was an absolutely perfect fit! It doesn't pinch or gouge me anywhere and I don't spend all day tugging at the straps or pulling the back down, very comfortable. It washes up very nicely as well. This bra pulled my 40-ish breasts right back up where they used to be when I was 20! My clothes look nicer and I feel much better about myself. I highly recommend this bra...good price too.

from Upper Darby, PA on 9/5/2006
I searched and searched for a bra that fit -- I tried many different brands and sizes. This is the best fit I have found - it is flattering and supportive. It is also a very pretty bra. I have purchased several.

from Seattle, Wa on 9/3/2006
I can honestly say that I have never had a bra that fit this nicely and was this comfortable. It's a little scratchy sometimes but nothing too extreame.
I'm a 38H so finding bra's in my size has been a difficult journey. I absolutly love that this bra is not ugly or iron clad but still offers great support, fit and comfort.
I could not be more satisfied!
[3 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
[...] My bra straps no longer dig into my shoulders. I have bought many bras and spent alot of money - they all pale in comparison to this one. I look smaller
than I did in the other brands and feel great.
I also love that the underwire separates your breasts so they do not sweat in the hot weather.
I have bought one in white, black, beige & I plan on buying many more. Thank You Panache for designing this one - its a real WINNER!

I have six of this style bra. They are the best fitting bra I have ever owned. I am very spoiled with these and want to wear only this style everyday. Be sure to get the right size and you will be more than satisfied!
