Panache Black 

Tango Eclipse 32HH

As some of you may already know, my boobs have been growing. I don't know if there is something in the water, or if it's my birth control pills. But, my breasts have been growing roughly a cup per year since I can remember (I'm 23). I notice it more now that I know about bras and how they are supposed to fit. Prior to that, I just dealt with a 36DDD and watched how I looked more and more ridiculous with each passing year. My point is, at the time I took these pictures, I labeled myself as a "32HH, J if it runs small". Now a days, I'm more solidly a J cup. The only bras I can still wear in a HH are the Cleo Marcie and any of it's sisters (Izzy, Ellis, etc). Those bras are known to run pretty huge in the cup and most people have to size down anyway. So, my review of this bra, my next review (Freya Ohh La la) and my previous review, the Panache Olivia, will still stand as far as shape. Keep in mind as far as sizing, it is coming from two boobs that genuinely need a J cup now a days.  

On with the review: This is the Tango Eclipse by Panache Black -- formerly Masquerade. It is marketed as a balconette, however the seams are that of a full cup bra, just with a lower, more straight across neckline. 

It is made entirely of a stiff, sheer mesh like material in the color blush. It has black accent straps, and a cute little bow with a little rhinestone in the center. The bra itself is very sexy yet classy, well deserving of being in the Panache Black line. 

As far as the band is concerned, it runs true to size as far as Panache standards. Stick with your normal size for this one. The cup, however, is giving me the same problems as the Olivia. For my shape, it gives me a downward point. That is horribly unflattering. The gore also does not tack on me. I am too full on top for this bra (and I consider myself somewhat balanced). I understand it doesn't help that I should have tried this bra on in a J cup, but I feel like bumping up in the cup wouldn't help all that much. A J cup would have been better, but still not perfect. Sometimes it's not just the size of the bra, but the construction, that causes the bra not to fit. All in all, I feel that the cup runs true to size. The Olivia actually felt a bit smaller, and that one had stretchy material at the top of the cup. This bra would probably work if you are wider rooted and shallower up top than I am. If this bra is anything like the Tango II, I would go with your normal Tango size.

The Tango Eclipse just isn't the bra for me. This is actually the first of the "Tango" family that I have tried. I was turned away from the Tango bra from the blog Bras I Hate & Love. And now I know first hand why I should have stayed away. Many people complain about the pointy silhouette that it gives. And I definitely understand that complaint. However, some people love this bra. It just depends on your boobs. 

If the Tango bras do work for you, this is a fun new addition for the Spring 15 season. It is available in 28-40 bands, D-K cups.
