This is a classic black swimsuit by Panache. I felt that it was quite flattering on, and would even be suitable for swimming laps. I took a chance on this as it was only $10 on breakout bras.

This 28 band suit pleased me with its ability to fit the rest of my body appropriately. I wear a 4 or 6 in pants, have narrow hips and a bit of belly fluff. It was flattering, slimming and classic. People with a 28 band and wider hips might have problems, as the body was snug fitting on me.

Here are the problems I encountered with the suit. 1), the cups definitely tried to continuously slide out of my IMF. It soft of seemed like they were attached too low in the suit, not that my breasts were pushing them down. I was able to shimmy the cups up and in to location, but they slipped down again later. However, I didn’t mind terribly, I don’t have the same standards for swimsuits as other bras. 2) this is the BIG problem. The underwire at the gore goes up high, and stabs my sternum badly. I included a picture of how my chest looked after wearing it for 2 hours yesterday. Today I am literally bruised and tender on that spot. Argh Panache! I have only ever had 1 other bra that did this, also Panache. I’m looking for suggestions on how to try to fix this problem so that I can resume this suit. I normally wear 30, sometimes 28 bands. This band didn’t feel too tight, so I don’t think that band tension is causing the problem.

• Looks great on you! Just replace the wires with more comfy ones from an older bra you don’t wear anymore and your problem will go away. The wires are also probably sliding down because they are too tall.

• I think that looks great on you 😀
  I wonder how Comexim wires in this would hold up?

• Thanks Sovavosi and cupandahalf ! You know how I love Comexim, but I dont have any that are unwearably od and dont want to take apart a perfectly good bra... I will go browse all my non fitting bras and look for options that could work. Do I need to pick a bra with similarly sized wires?

  I would look for wires that are comfier than these and about the same size or maybe shorter. You can always tack them below where the other wires came up if part of the problem is how tall they are.
