Why are the cups so big on this bra? I first ordered the Panache Sports Top, which is pretty much the Panache Sports Bra with a tank top over it, in my regular size in Panache (30GG), only to find that the band was so tight that I could barely fasten it and that the cups were way too big, especially at the top. So I figured a band size up and a cup size down would do the trick. Unfortunately, not quite.

The band is perfect in the 32FF, but the cups are still too tall for my high set breasts. It acts similarly to the Fantasie Rebecca on me - the cups are rigid enough to keep a normal looking shape even though the top isn't completely filled. The J-hook in the back helps with this gaping, but it doesn't completely fix it.

I haven't tried working out in it yet since I might want to exchange it, but I suspect that if I did, it probably wouldn't control bounce as well as it could if the shape worked better for me. The wires seem wide enough that I might be able to size down even more to a 32F or maybe even a 32E. This extreme difference would make me suspect that I'm not actually anywhere close to a 30GG if I hadn't been wearing a Cleo Lucy in that size all day that I filled out just fine. I guess it's just one of those weird shape issues I'll probably never fully understand.

I could see this being a very good t-shirt bra as it gives a very nice, rounded shape under shirts. I haven't worn it for very long, but it seems like it could also be a comfortable everyday bra.

This bra is not owned any more
