My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

I have read lots of great things about Enell bras, so I was excited to try this racer back style. I was attracted to this option since I figured it wouldn't impede arm/shoulder movement too much and because it might feel cooler for high-impact/cardio exercise than their regular style. I love the black/silver print; the fabric is silky and cool to the touch. The inside is lined with black fabric, feels silky and satiny just like the outside.

The cups and the front part of the straps don't have much stretch which is good (I think it's double-lined, but I'm not sure); the back of the straps and band do have a little bit more stretch. It has 9 hooks in the front, so two hooks less than the traditional style I believe. This also means that it comes a little bit lower in the front, just under 7" (17.5 cm). The band has a very thick elastic, over 1" wide (~3cm) and is pretty firm.

I didn't like the overall fit on me. The cups came a little bit too low, and it compresses my soft breast tissue up and out of the cups giving me a bit of quad boob. My standing bust measurement is 37.5" and leaning bust is 39" and size 0 says it fits a bust of 34-37" so it might be just slightly small for me.

The band is very tight! This says it's ideal for rib measurements of 29-31", I measure 29.5" tight/30.3" snug /31.2" loose and it feels way too tight for me. The straps are also little too long and sadly not adjustable. I also noticed that the cups seemed to buckle down at the bottom (not sure this is the right word) and fold a little on itself, almost like they couldn't keep their shape. Maybe if I could adjust the straps up, the cup fold would disappear.

I really wanted to love this bra, but I don't think it's the right style and size for me.

This bra is not owned any more

  I tried this size on in the store and I could only get the bottom hook done up. You are right, they have no stretch! I’d love to have one of these if the sizing wasn’t so wonky. They do make custom sizes but they are very expensive.

  I tried one as well, and was literally spilling out everywhere, I would apparently need a custom size as well, but it’s not that tempting to spend a lot on it since Panache Sport work for me.

• Sovavosi Yep, so tight! I wouldn’t feel confident enough to order a custom size since it’s very expensive. I do think I might try the regular version in the future to see how differently it fits, but I don’t even feel confident about that either.

• veggiechic I have recently tried on some Panache as well and I think they’re definitely a better option for me. I still need to test it out during my high impact exercise. Fingers crossed since I’m really hoping it does the trick for me.
