Panache SuperBra Tango II Underwire Balconnet Bra 3251 Reviews

I just love this bra. I was one of those women wearing the wrong size for years and constantly battling my bras. After being fitted properly, this is the first bra I have ever owned that actually fits comfortably all day long. My clothes fit better and it is a great natural shape. The sides do ride a little high and being on the shorter side (not quite 5'4") after 12 hours or so, it can get a little uncomfortable but I can get at least 12 hours out of a bra! My only other wish is that they would make it in a smooth fabric too for under t-shirts and clingier materials (still on the hunt for that bra!). I now own this bra in three colors! I am so glad HerRoom is here for those of us who can't buy "off the rack"! I'll be a customer for a long time! L from St. Charles, MO

I originally bought this in a 38K, which I had been measured for in a boutique. I found the cup a little to big, but was otherwise comfortable and pretty. I decided to size down half a cup and find the 38JJ a perfect fit. The only reservation I have is in the straps. I've got mine adjusted to the shortest possible length and it is just right. Someone who is shorter than 5'6" or has a short torso may not get a good fit. J from Fairfax, VA, USA

I've been wearing this bra for a couple of years now, and I wish I had found it 20 years ago! I have to say something to the people who keep mentioning the underarm discomfort: Consider that you might be wearing the wrong size. Draw lines from your armpit down your sides (I did it just now, with my thumbs). The underwires and stays on this bra should be PAST that imaginary line, BEYOND your armpits. ALL breast tissue, including the underarm breast tissue, should be enclosed by that wire. I think that's the problem you're having. I have encountered this same discomfort problem myself--particularly when I've gained weight. My weight has fluctuated some, so I have several sizes of this bra in my drawer--32H, 32HH, 34H, 32J, 34J. I wouldn't trade this bra for any other on the market, though I have quite a few, that sit, most of them unworn. Fantasie's Smoothing line is great for shaping and a better, more upfront projection than the Tango II, but only goes to a G-cup (when I was thinner I'd wear a 34G & it worked great for when I care more about seamless than I did about bounce!). Freya, nowhere near as supportive, La Mystere is a joke, Chantelle too small . . . when you're an H-cup or above, NONE of the others can beat Panache's Tango II for fit, support, shaping--and just plain making one look better in clothes!

Actually, I've already commented on this bra, but I wanted to address some of the HerRoom comments back to the comments. While I LOVE that HerRoom is obviously listening to us as customers, some of the comments come off as basically saying that the women are too short or too misshapen to wear that particular bra. If several reviewers are saying that the bra hurts under the arms, maybe you should consider that the bra really does hurt under the arms, or make a "petite" version for shorter women. The way you're responding, it looks (a tad) like you're blaming the women for being short. I'm 5'5" and have a regular, even longish torso, and I had the same problem. K from Houston, TX

This is a BEAUTIFUL bra; I'm just not that happy with the fit. It seems to scratch a little under the arms and it separates the boobs almost TOO much, to where they look like they are bulging outside of my frame. I love the way the material clings to the breast area in front; it's just the way the arms are that I don't like. I have had this problem with other bras, too, though, so it may just be the way I'm built. K from Houston, TX

This is a great bra! I starting wearing this brand bra two years ago and it works wonders. It gives me better support and looks good underneath my clothing. I wish the style came in more colors except the basics, but it works!!!!! Kelly from Lithonia, GA

I like this bra. The fit is really good but I love the Tango II plunge style best. This was a very good web site to order from. Gloria from Greenville SC USA

Yet another bra that would benefit by stating the size the model is wearing. This bra was at least a cup size too small. It just barely covered my nipples, whereas this picture shows the horizontal seam at the apex. It seemed like it would be sturdy and supportive in the right size. Wish I could have had the same experience as in most of these great reviews.

HerRoom Response: Jessica, you have left two reviews on our site with both stating you should have gone up a size. Both bras fit true to size that you reviewed. We think you need to consider a larger cup size. Jessica from Portland, OR, USA

I like the bra, however it's a little larger in the cup than I had expected. First time in my life that's happened! Trisha from Ann Arbor, Michigan

I was very excited to get this bra after reading the positive comments. I was very disappointed when I received the item. It was not supportive at all for a bra constructed for a 40I with only 2 or 3 hooks and very thin shoulder straps. Unfortunately, I had to send the bra back. Kris from Small town south of Dallas, TX

It's pretty and it fits, but it gives my breasts a very strange spherical shape, the top edge of the cup pokes out under my shirt, and the underwires poke painfully into my armpit and into my ribs. I'll be returning it. Elizabeth

Love this bra. For my size it has THE BEST support. I've been wearing this bra for quite a while, they seem to hold up well and last much longer than others. The underwire can be a bit irritating underneath the arms. Straps don't always stay up. Underwire fits snugly on my breast bone, doesn't stick out and show through my clothes. I'd love to see it offered in more than nude, white & black. Tammy

This is the best fittng bra I have owned in years! Very supportive without being pointy. The wire sits against my sternum like it's supposed to. There is no spillage over the top of the cups...Wow!!! I love Panache bras. The under arm stays are too high but it's a small price to pay. In the past I have always purchased a larger band size to get the fuller cup because I could not find the cup/band combo that I needed. After researching on this site, I realized that this poor fit contributed to the underwire pop that happened to me all the time. Thanks HerRoom for the info. Thanks Panache for making a bra in my size. Freda from US

For me, I didn't like the shape of the bra. I'm very full chested--my breasts start high above the chest apex instead of sticking out, so I couldn't fill out the 30E but a 30DD had bulging at the top. Tracy from Michigan

It fits well, but the stays are a little long under the armpits, thus making it a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, I like the bar very much. If that one feature is correctable, I would gladly buy more. Shirley from Capitol Heights/MD/USA

The cup fit on this bra is great and it supports well, however the stays underarm are a bit long, and tend to poke and be slightly uncomfortable. It is the best support bra I have ever owned. Mary from Nashville, IN, USA

Definitely has support, and is a beautiful bra, BUT!!! the wires poke so bad, I can only stand wearing it for 2 hours or so. I had my husband cut the wire, it was digging into my armpit. I wish there was a softer wire, if that makes any sense... I read all the comments before buying, and thought, hmm.. maybe I will try. I am glad I did, I will wear it here and there, but not everyday, not that comfortable. Shell from Ca

I'm standing here in utter disbelief!! I'm 51 years old, and this is literally the first bra I've ever put on that actually fits! The center is flat against my chest, the girls are completely encased and standing tall, the underwire is against my ribs doing all the work, and I'm loving a bra that I've only known for about 10 minutes! :) I can tell the underarm is a bit high on me, but I don't care. I've resisted ordering a bra online because they've always been so hard to fit in the store. I imagined it would be a hassle to order...return...reorder...return... and so on. The last time I shopped at a store for one, the "professional" fitter finally told me I'd just have to go with the "lesser of the evils"--it was $98 and the underwire didn't even lay against my chest under my breasts! It was an "aha moment" for me that making the sale was more important than advising me on finding the correct fit. That's when I turned to HerRoom, knowing I may have to settle for "close but no cigar," but it would be on my terms. I can't even tell you how thrilled I am that on the first try, carefully following the sizing information and reviews, I found a keeper! Thanks, HerRoom and Panache! Karen from Prairie Village, KS

This bra fits great & provides wonderful support. The only issue I have is with the underwire. The underwire digs into the armpit area & is VERY painful! Maybe they should find a way to put a little more fabric/padding on the sides of the bra. Yaz from BX, NY

The cups actually fit; there is no four breast effect from poorly constructed cups. Also, the underwire is proportioned correctly, so no 'foldout' effect with the wires in the center. Submitted from TheUndies.com
