Panache Superbra Tango II Underwire balcony bra

Customer Reviews

Superbra is right -- Give it a cape and it might save the world.

There is a good chance that this bra gives me superpowers. I am more able to function during the day without adjusting my boobs. I am able to make it through a 16 hour day with 2 kids and a packed schedule without wishing I could remove my bra and go forth into the world without scaring people.

With this bra, I have been given the ability to live a normal, happy and comfortable existence. That is quite a load to place upon the light and lacy frame of a bra. But this one has done it for me.

(Oh and you must know that my size isn't average. I am... um.... very large in the bust area.)

Pokey underwires

This bra's underwires are unneccessarily long. They poke me horribly. And this is from a girl who wears nothing but underwire bras. This one is awful.

Phenomenal!

This is by far the best bra I've ever had! It turns out that apparently 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra...generally they're wearing a band size that is too large and a cup size that is too small.

For years I've been wearing a US size 36 DD bra. When I had a little extra cash and some time on my hands, I went to a store nearby called "Your Perfect Fit" that specialized in bra fittings. After half an hour suffering the cold hands and awkwardness of having someone clinically handle your boobs (ick), I ended up with this bra - in a UK 34 FF.

I look skinnier when I wear it, for some reason. It doesn't make them smaller, but it is supportive and comfortable. According to the person who measured me, the proper position of the breast (in a silhouette view) is mid-way between the shoulder and the elbow.

Another revelation is that only 10% of the support from your bra should come from the straps - the rest should come from the band! Needless to say, I could have saved years and years of shoulder pain had I know that and found the proper bra.

To anyone considering buying this: I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this bra, but here are a few things to remember -
-One: try to get a professional fitting, and not at your local mall. If that isn't possible, find a site online that directs you in measuring yourself. The bra size you found six years ago probably isn't right for you now!
-Two: note that sizes are different by country! Your US size in a UK bra won't fit. Here's a conversion site that I've found to be helpful - http://www.85b.org/bra_conv.php
-Three: I was instructed by my "consultant" to care for my bra by only wearing it every other day (this will make it last a year, rather than three months), and by HAND WASHING IT. It's easier than it sounds...once a week dump some Ovacionand cold water into a sink, rub your bra a bit, and then hang it up to dry.

Great Support!

This bra provides excellent support and natural shaping. If you have back pain or have had bra straps dig in your shoulders, you will find this bra refreshing. Blouses and t-shirts fit better and look more flattering when wearing this bra. Friends often ask if I've lost weight or had a reduction! I only give it 4 stars because the bone in the side panel can become uncomfortable after many hours of wearing but the fit is worth it compared to other bras available to well endowed women. Additionally, the bone in the sides (not to confused with the wire in the bra) may be removed. The Intimacy store provides this service.

Good for big boobs!

This is a wonderful bra for ladies with large breasts. It is the best I have ever had and lasts longer than three weeks! It holds up very well after going through the washing machine and has solid straps.
