This band is very firm! If I were to buy it again I'd probably go with a 30FF. Still, it fastens and it's not very uncomfortable, so I'll keep this bra.
The straps and cups feel super supportive and comfortable without being suffocating. The grey and purple colorway is exactly what I look for in a sports bra (none of that neon yellow and parrot green madness!). I look forward to exercising in this (and hopefully, through the exercise, getting the band to feel a little less tight)
Makes your boob looks cute and perky. Good padding in the band and straps. Comes up high enough that you aren't worrying about being overly exposed during your workout. Plus it comes in a bunch of great colors.
I am a fan of the wired and non-wired Panache Sport bras, but I am starting to like the non wired best. It stays in place better during my workouts and just seems to fit better. I can wear 30DD, 30E and 32DD pretty comfortably in these. The 30 bands are better, but the 32DD is a bit more comfortable and cups fit best. Technically speaking, I think the 30E is the best fit (my usual UK size). Try the non wired if the wired version was a problematic fit for you.
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.
Edit: The underwires poked out of the gel casing and I had to fix them. I sewed a piece of canvas on the front and back of each end of both underwires, then covered the ends with fleece and stitched the whole thing back together. It was a lot of work, but the bra is more comfortable than ever and I can't afford to have a bra that doesn't even last me a year. Panache has supposedly fixed the problem with the underwires in the SS15 model, but we'll see.
Definitely my favorite sports bra, but I still haven't settled in on my size. 30DD is my usual, but it seems a bit big in band. 28E is probably best fit, but when I have a few extra pounds I get lots of back fat protruding (I am pretty fit and slim in the torso). Still, 30DD, 30E and 28E all work pretty well; even 28F seems ok at times. Maybe none of them truly fit, but the cups are molded so they work. Gives a very nice shape!

Stretch a just a little, sometimes feels tight. Doesn't poke underarm, which is good as I have a wide root. White colour easily stains by other coloured fabric, the colour not easily washed out. Wide strap makes it very comfortable on the shoulders.
I tried this bra in a 34F, 34G and a 32H and although they all felt supportive and secure they weren't. my boobs were lifted, gave a nice shape, slightly pointed but absolutely no bounce control at all when I moved even just a little I could feel and see my boobs bounce up and down a lot. So it would be absolutely useless to me for any high impact sports like jogging or running.
Love it, fits great. The wires are perfect for me, maybe a smidge toward narrow on one side. It's so tall though that if I do anything toward a sitting position for too long it gets pushed into my belly below. I did not size down in the cup. However, I did sister size from 34F to 36E due to the tightness of the band. With my asthma, anything super snug while exercising is a problem. I only hope the band doesn't stretch too much too quickly so I can get a good long use out of this bra. As someone else suspected, sometimes I do get a dimple in the cup on my smaller side.
This bra is very CLOSE to being my size, but after an hour or so of exercise I'm just as glad to take it off. Still, I plan to buy a 32G, or possibly a 32FF. (I feel like I might want the size down? These cups are very spacious and molded, because of how they're designed, so it's hard to be sure.)
PROS: Nice shape. "Modest" enough to be worn without a shirt. Decent bounce-prevention, though I wouldn't use it for running. Comfortable, in spite of being too tight.
CONS: Well, if you're looking for a running bra... Plus, Panache bras seem to very rarely go on sale.
I bought this one used on eBay thinking that my usual bra size would be a decent fit. Wrong! The band is VERY firm and the cups are HUGE. Many related purchases later, I've found my best fit in a 34F. Regardless of size, I can't use the racerback option because the straps aren't long enough. It's very comfy. The lettering on the front is gone, but it's just adhesive decal stuff that washes off in the first wash or 3. The label is printed inside the clasp area; the print does fade over time. Although it doesn't appear to be particularly worn, one of the wires has poked through the outside fabric. If it fit, I'd throw a couple stitches there. In my opinion, this is the only real defect of this bra; the wires are padded on the inside but not sufficiently wrapped on the outside.
Best sports bra ever in my life its better for hard work out like martial arts or running. You know, The works causing lots of bouncing. Does works will work! For me band is very firm thats why it is good. Cup is lightly bit big and fabric is stretchy. So up to +1is okay I think. When you wear this, it gives you nice smooth uplifted look.
This is the best sports bra I've ever had!!! It's very comfortable and very supportive, and I felt very secure during my workouts. Practising TaeKwonDo I do feel like I need a lot of support and this one is the first sports bra that left me completely unworried about any bouncing or other kinds of uncomfortable movements of my boobs!!! So far it didn't significantly stretch out either.
The 34 band on this coral one is longer than the other colors I have; I could have stuck with my usual 32, I think. The FF doesn't seem quite as deep, either, so I think this colorway is actually closer to true-to-size than the rest. Or, maybe it's just this particular bra that slipped through quality control or was mismarked. The straps are a bit longer, so I can comfortably use the j-hook option. It's cute. It's comfy. It holds boobs in pretty good.
The bra fit everywhere but the center top. Because I am wide and shallow in the center of my chest there was a weird bump because the tension from the top hem and my lack of volume in the center caused it to lift. I jumped up and down and there was no jiggle. If I went down in the cup the wire would be too narrow. I was able to fix it by cutting about a 1.5" slit in the center (I zigzag stitched the raw edge to secure the fabric layers). It makes the band a bit looser at the top so I have it hooked at the tightest at the top and the loosest at the bottom so I will have to sew darts in the band but I usually have to do that. Now it fits as perfect as a molded foam cup can.
I have this in two colorways: gray and blue. The gray fits considerably tighter than the blue. They are both attractive considering they are sports bras.
I normally wear a 32JJ, but @ Panache only goes up to an H cup in their sports bras so naturally it is a bit snug. The blue fits more like a generous H, possibly an HH. The gray fits more like an H. The band is quite firm in the blue and verging on too tight in the gray (Though not quite enough to warrant an extender). The gore can't quite tack for me since it's not the right size for me.
Comfort-wise it's pretty good considering it's a bit small. I think it should be acceptable for most athletic activity for me, but I will have to see.
