Eh.
I had a bad feeling sizing down in this but I read a bunch of reviews that FOBs should size down, and the way my 30GG - Panache Sport » Sports Bra (5021) fit I felt like that had some merit so... I sent back my 30GG and got a 30G instead.

Bad idea. If you are extremely FOB, with zero upper fullness, size down. If you are like me, FOB but with tall shallow roots, do not do it. As is obvious from the one angle photo, this bra is cutting into my chest at the collarbone fiercely. On my larger side it's pretty extreme, on my smaller side not as much but it's still happening.
In some photos it doesn't look like it's happening but the thing about (any, not just sports, but sports especially) bras is, you're not stationary when you wear your bra. You move around, you raise your arms up, you pull them back, you lean forward, you lean backwards, et cetera, et cetera.
So, moving around with this bra cutting in gets pretty damn uncomfortable at some point.

The band is comfortably snug, and the gore is a soft tack, being pretty tall it gets to be a bit too much cause the cups are having that push up effect so I get some buttcrack cleavage into which the gore cuts in as well.

Overall, a disaster. Maybe this bra is just not for me?

  The pattern on this one is gorgeous! Sorry it didn't fit well.

• Yes, absolutely beautiful. I guess my shrinkage just didn't shrink enough heh

  Yeah, I can't size down either. It's too tall but as soon as I size down or take the wires out it cuts in something fierce. IMO the wired style holds it open more than the wireless.

  Yeah, I'm hoping it will fit at some point.... tho I don't have hope. These tall roots are annoying lol

• I really want this color too! I really appreciate your review, because I also have tall roots but FOB, and I was thinking I might need a cup size down to provide more stability/ support, but now Im not so sure, because I don't want cutting in. I just feel like the cups are a little empty on top and that will give my boobs more room to bounce in them. Not quite sure how to get it just right. Overall these panache sports bras are tge best I have found, and I really find it amazing what a nice profile they provide under shirts.

• Yeah unfortunately the cutting in is really uncomfortable and the size is rly restricting too

  IMO if you want to protect against bounce, compression sports bras are probably your best bet.

• I have the same issue ihzve 32H and I think I must go for 32GG I don’t know I confuse what did you do ? Did you keep it

• I kept it because sending it back again was very expensive and I didn't care to do it. I'm hoping it will fit at some point.
  Honestly for me sizing down didn't work because I have a lot of side issue and really tall roots and the cups on this are just too short for that.
  If your shape is different it might work for you.

• I post pics to 32H iam waiting to try the GG cups and I made a review

• You should request fitting help for that one, more people would see it and help you :)

• From where ? And if you can see and tell me thanks

  When you go to edit your bra it will give you an option at the bottom to request fitting help.
