Panache Tango Plunge Underwired Plunge Bra 3256 Reviews

Okay, the Fit was great, however, the underwire of the bra broke through the material after having it only months (4-5 months). I know a good bra usually last up to a year. Panache (manufacturer needs to understand that the product is defective and perhaps that's the reason they've gotten no complaints). So, I put them on notice so that they can say they have a complaint about the Panache 3256. Take notice ladies and beware!

HerRoom Response: If an underwire immediately pops through, then you are right; it could be defective. However, if it eventually pops through, this is a sign that you are wearing too large a band size.

Panache Response: How quickly a bra wears really depends on how you take care of it. We strongly recommend handwashing and then hanging the bra to dry. Josette from Carson, California

I had to go two cup sizes larger than normal, but once I got the right fit, this bra is great. It doesn't slide or move at all and really holds me in even though it is about as low cut a bra as I have ever found in my size. I didn't feel like this bra has the most support, and I was a bit bouncy in it, but otherwise it is a comfortable and wonderfully-fitting bra and I would really recommend it for those low-cut dressy styles.

I love this bra!! It is very comfortable and supportive. I have a hard time finding comfortable bras in my size but this bra is great. Lisa from Ft Worth, TX

I'm going to return it. I had high hopes for this bra, but I'm just not a fan, the fit was funny on me. I ordered up a size but the cup still wasn't enough, and i didn't like the silhouette it gave me. leah from ok

This is the plunge bra for me! It has less support than my balcony bras, but that's just to be expected. Given that, it still has a very nice amount of support. And it actually encapsulates my chest well while still being a plunge. I really like how small the center of the band is, compared to other plunge bras in my size; most other plunges my size look pretty much the same as balcony bras. Being partial to organic designs, I also really like the pretty leaf pattern. I've tried the Freya Mischa plunge bra, but that one didn't seem to hold me up as well, or cover as much of my breasts. I still need to try it in a larger cup size than my usual, to see if that makes a difference. However, it seems likely to 'cut' across my chest and create the dreaded quad-boob effect. The Tango rides a little higher across the breast, just enough to contain it. Anne from PA

I ordered this item in my typical size (as translated by the HerRoom size chart) and I was happy with the fit. I told the customer service representative on the phone I was not very full in the upper part of my bosom and she said I should go with my regular size. I am sort of amazed that it holds me in no matter how I bend or bounce (I tested this) because there less coverage than my other bras. I bought this bra for a special occasion I have not tested it for show thru though. However I am thinking I am going to keep it any way, because it has a great fit. I also want to thank the customer service team at HerRoom for their assistance! Kathryn from IL

Not sure how they sized this. Compared to the non-plunge version this just seems small in both the band and the cup. I might try it again in a different size but this just did not work. Interestingly the same size in the non-plunge was practically perfect in every way :-) Tomima - response from Anna w/ Panache below: "As per Tomima's tip which can be viewed next to the style description, we recommend going up a cup in this bra due to its low plunge silhouette. So if one usually wears 36FF in style 3251 Tango Bra or other fuller coverage style from Panache, it might be best to go up a cup to 36G when ordering style 3256 Tango Plunge. Band size should remain compatible to its sister style 3251, but seeing that cups didn't fit in this particular case, most likely the band didn't lay on the body the way it normally would if the cups would fit correctly.

I already owned the Panache Tango II but was a little wary about ordering the Plunge style because I'm a 34H and I thought it may not be enough coverage or be as supportive as I would need at my size. I'm so glad I took a chance! This is now my favorite bra. It fits perfectly. No falling out even though it's low cut and it holds just as well as the full cup style. I can wear all my V-neck tops with no problem which is such a nice change of pace! Shannon from New York

A busty woman had to have made this bra!!! With my experience, plunge bras were not for the busty. Wearing a GG cup, its impossible to find a bra that fits, and forget finding one that is the least bit flattering. This plunge bra is the best I've ever worn. No overhang. No lumps. I can even jump up and down and sleep in it and still have my "girls" in their proper place! angie from houston, tx

Sexy, sexy, sexy, I wanted a plunge dipped bra and it's exactly what I got, it fits great, the cup, could have been cut down under the arm a little, but I don't know if this is because I increased the inches, I was afraid it would be too little, but I still like to wear it because I feel sexy in it. I'm satisfied and the price was great. However, it is a little scratchy, but tolerable. Josette from Carson, California

Scratchy. Did not like the fit even though I have other Panache bras and love them. It was a bit small in the cup. Marla from San Antonio

I ordered this bra because it is one I have bought before just at a local retailer. I "found" your website and was excited because the local retailer does not always carry my size. I saw tons of beautiful bras but some were non-refundable and therefore, I could not purchase them. Although the cream one fit, the black one was no where close to being true to size. So either it was mis-sized or for some reason this particular one did not fit. So it is going back which is disappointing. But it proves my point from the beginning that it does not matter if you stick with what you know, you need to be able to try it on in order to determine if it is exactly what you needed/wanted/can use.

It is a very pretty bra and looks supportive. Sadly the 30FF cups were too big having excess fabric in the cups and the 30F cups were too small not providing enough coverage to eliminate an extra bulge at the top of the cup. I am guessing that it just isn't the correct bra for the shape of my breast. Too bad cause it really looks nice and seemed like it would be comfortable. Lynn from MI

The cups gave me an unnatural cone-like shape. It was too small in parts and too big in others so I'm returning it. Amanda from Oakland, CA

I initially ordered an H but the G fit better. It fits well except that it leaves bruises under my arms. I like that, with the plunge, I can wear more tops without worrying if my bra is showing. Wanda from Princeton, NJ

Bra did not fit. I normally wear a size 36H and was told to order a 36FF based on the size conversion chart. I also contacted Her Room and was told the same information. A. Phillips from Washington DC

I reviewed this garment after the first day of wear. I can say now, after a couple weeks of wearing and washing, it's still a great bra! Still like the lift and comfort. I am going to check out Panache's smooth cup style as the lace is visible under knit tops. I also want to say how easy the exchange was too. Her Room will have a repeat customer in me :-) Tai from Richmond, CA

Why didn't I listen to the reviewers? I ordered a 36DD and ended up exchanging for a 36F. The cup size fits! Band is perfect. I like the silhouette of my bust line from this bra. Terrific! Exchange was smooth too. Tai from Richmond, CA

Very elastic, band is smaller than other bras, but stretches more. Kinda digs in the middle between the breasts, but good support. Also is kinda high on the sides near the armpits and might show with some shirts. Laura from Statesboro, GA US

I am returning this bra, unlike the full coverage tango bra, this one does not have good support for full breasts. CJC from BROOKLYN/NY

I thought that being big-busted meant only unattractive bras, but this one proved me wrong!! It's both cute and comfortable, and best of all - it fits!!! Also, I followed the advice of others below and ordered up a cup size (from 30F), which ended up being the right fit. Lauren from Kansas

This bra is AMAZING!!!! I am usually a 36J cup but after reading reviews (and because this bra doesn't come in a J cup) I ordered a band size up and 2 cup sizes smaller- a 38H. It fits like a dream!!! The shape I get in this bra is wonderful, and after owning 9 of the Panache Tango Full cups, I was looking for a bra with more cleavage. There is no "over-spill" - this bra is great with my low cut tops - I can wear a deep V while still feeling secure - not like I'm about to pop out!! Totally recommended! Jessica from RI/USA

This is the most attractive, comfortable bra (36ff) I have ever owned, including Freya and Fantasie. They all seem to poke under the arm on one side or the other which could be remedied by more padding on the ends of the underwires. Nevertheless, this bra gives a great look since it puts everything up front where it belongs and eliminates a lot of the underarm wad that other bras produce. Christina from Washington, USA

This bra fits very well and is comfortable - something that I don't expect to be able to say about a bra this size (32F). I like the back construction; it always feels secure without being tight. I would buy it again. I had to exchange a 32DD for the 32F so the cup size may run a little small. Otherwise, no complaints. Genie from San Bernardino, California

if gives great support but gives just the right amount of cleavage a women needs when wearing a low cut dress. daniela from new york, new york

• Posted: May, 2008

I had to return this bra for a larger size. I wear a 32DD and the cup size was a bit small - I got more cleavage than I wanted! I haven't received the larger one yet but am anxious to get it. The bra seems very comfortable and practical. Genie from San Bernardino, California

This is a fantastic bra. Being such a large size I have a hard time finding anything that looks sexy, let alone something that will let me show cleavage. This bra solves both problems. The back of the bra however does ride up through the day and needs to be readjusted regularly.

HerRoom Response: Your comment about the back riding up is a common symptom that your band is not small enough. Consider a smaller band size. Amy from Salt Lake CIty, Utah
