This is my current favorite bra; I wear it more than I should and really need a second one.

Runs true to size. fits perfectly on my right boob but wrinkles just a little on my left. the band fits snugly and has enough hooks and eyes to plausibly last me forever. the extra wide straps are easy on my shoulders and feel very sturdy. easily one of the most comfortable bras I own. gives a nice separated rounded shape rather than a flattened uniboob, and I love the colour scheme. surprisingly effective at eliminating bounce, more so with the j-hook. I would have liked to size down if it came in 28D (it doesnt) but this is still a very good fit and works as advertised. Highly recommend, especially for a true 28DD.

My second Panache Sport bra! It's a tad too big in the cups for me. I bought it used off of eBay, but the wire came out in the center gore when I put it on, so I am returning it. Seems to be a fairly common issue with these. Will be getting this in another size!

Even though it's a cupsize too large it really holds everything in! It does get a bit warm though.

Visually pleasing, especially for a sports bra. I have it in black and think that it is a very flattering and functional design. I don't think it quite fits me as the gore does not tack, especially in the part that continues beyond the wires. That being said, it still works better than any other sports bra I have tried, so I imagine if the gore did tack that it would be superb! I find that even the racer back configuration is comfortable when I adjust the straps appropriately; I have had other bras with the optional racer back that would cause terrible neck and headaches and am ... happy to say I have not experienced these problems in this bra. One thing that was surprising was the way the straps adjust; they are backwards to most other bras. You pull up to loosen and down to tighten. This can make it difficult to shorten the straps while wearing the bra.

Edit: The band stretches out quite quickly (on the black colourway, at least), I now have to fasten on the tightest set of hooks if I'm doing anything high impact. I also picked up a 34H in the yellow, but it MUCH smaller in the band and it doesn't seem to be stretching as quickly. The straps are also a lot shorter.

A sports bra worthy of everyday wear! It looks absolutely amazing under clothes, and I wouldn't be too embarrassed to wear this thing to work out without a shirt. My asymmetry is somewhat noticeable (the cup on the smaller side caves in a tiny bit), but not enough that I'd be self conscious about it. The wires are completely enclosed in foam and feel extremely comfortable.

I'm in love with the aesthetic of the colors and cup construction. Panache has a gorgeous product here.

My only complaint: the band is tight. Super tight. I am on the larger end of a 28 and I have a hard time ... fastening this thing. Will be wearing it with an extender, which makes everything feel great (I can breathe!). If in doubt, size up in the band!

Edit: I have noticed some pain in my shoulder blades due to the straps being too wide during use with the extender. I tried to used the racerback option, but the straps sat too heavily on my overly-tense neck muscles and I couldn't deal. Will have to size up if I try this again.

Best bra ever. Full stop. I wear this as an everyday bra under anything that comes up high enough to cover it. The shape is perfection, and the lining keeps nipples contained. I've considered sewing lace onto it so it can work under more necklines. The underwires are padded a little, so it's friendly to my sensitive rib-cage, and the material is soft too. This is the Platonic form of how a bra should FEEL! I only wish it weren't so sporty-looking and that the straps weren't so beefy. If only they just took the basic design, lowered the neck, and slapped some satin on it... get on that, Panache!

I did have to go up a band size to my sister-size 34F. The band is TIGHT and unforgiving. This bra does not quit! I've worn it almost daily for over a year, and it shows no signs of wear beyond a little staining.

Don't hesitate. This sucker is loaded for bear. Worth every penny of the $70 I paid for it.

A bit small for me in the cup, but fits in the band. Even though it's not my my size, it was the largest sports bra I could find and is very comfortable.

I've got two of these - the black/geo and the coral/yellow. Both fit well in the bra department, identical to the sports bra, but the body is very loose, at least 2 sizes too big (my waist measurement is 23" for reference).

I bought this sports bra in a 34DD due to some bad advice. I only wore it maybe 3-4 times since I bought it a few months ago. Aside from the fact that it is not in my correct size, it is very comfortable. Not once did I feel like I was going to fall out while exercising. I hope to get one like this in my correct size. One of the hooks bent, I'm not sure how, but I bent it back to the proper position and it still works just fine.

This sports bra feels as if it's made from quality material, but it unfortunately just does not fit me. The cups are large and roomy, the gore floats about an inch or more off my body (too much separation to fit between my boobs), and the wires are wide.

The band feels like a tight 28, and the straps are comfy.

I love this bra; it was a complete revelation in how bras could be engineered. Even though it doesn't really fit me it's still very supportive. It's also extremely well-made; it has held up quite nicely -- except for the little screen printed Panache logo. I have several times gotten home from the gym only to be exceptionally confused about the little orange flakes on my skin. I'll be buying a new one in my proper size very soon.

I normally wear a 30G in most bras. When I was shopping for a Panache Sports bra, I was recommended 30FF because the cups run roomy. In my experience, this is not the case for the 30FF - Panache Sport » Non Wired Sports Bra (7341) .

I had a lot of fit issues with this bra that people had difficulty helping me to diagnose. The first issue was that the gore was not separating me well and my larger side was especially overflowing (or pushing behind the gore, which is effectively just a piece of soft foam in this bra). Secondly, there was considerable wrinkling ... at the bottom of the cups where I couldn't fill it out and the band felt a little too snug. When I took the bra off, the wrinkles were still showing in the foam. I called the retailer I bought it from and they suggested that going up a cup and/or band would not help.

I could not figure out if it was a shape mismatch or just too small. I went up a cup to my normal size (30G) and that was a better fit.

I have since determined that the cup wrinkling wasn't so much a shape issue as the fact that I'm short/high-set and had to pull the bra up into my IMF better. Since the band is tighter than usual for a 30, it stays up well once it's in place. The rest was the too-small cup.

I'll leave a full review on the 30G model.

This was my correct fit in this bra, but I returned it because it was damaged. I also found the violet color to be way too loud - much more so in person than online. I will do a full fit review on the Geo pattern.

This is a cup size bigger than I normally wear, and fits so much better. I think ideally I need more immediate projection, so the band sometimes moves down and I have to adjust it back up. I wish it came up higher and covered more because the support is not so great for me at the top, but using the racer back clip helps.
Otherwise, the best sports bra I've tried, and I've tried almost all that are available in my size.

This is a very good sports bra, but none of them fit me perfectly. 30DD and 30E work best, band is quite tight on my 27 inch UB. I will be listing this one soon (ultraviolet new with tags).

I had heard that this bra runs small, I guess, because I went up a cup size. I probably could fit into a 38E; there's some empty space at the top of the cup that I don't fill out. I have the berry/purple/lime green colourway. This bra is comfortable, though, even for high-impact activities like running. Plus, I think it makes my boobs look more proportional to the rest of me.

I am most comfortable in a 32HH/J, so I originally bought this bra in a 34H thinking the sister size would work okay. It was definitely far too big in the cup AND the band, so when I went back to the store I tried it in a 32H and the fit was perfect. I feel so supported and I can jump around without pain! I almost bought the grey colourway but in the end the magenta sold me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
