A sports bra that I don't need to wear 3 of in order to feel supported! If they made an HH cup the gore would probably sit flat on my sternum, but as is, I like it anyway. All my fullness is at the bottom, so I don't spill out, and in fact this bra gives me more projection than most of my non-sport bras.
Tried on in Nordstrom. I asked for a 30G but they didn't have any 30 bands so the fitter got me a 32F (when she should have brought 32FF). The cups were too small - had side boob spilling out. The band rode up on the loosest hooks. Didn't ride up on the tightest ones but wasn't very supportive. Hooking the racerback clip helped a little with bounce but I still wasn't very happy with this size/bra. I'd love to try more sizes on as I'm pretty much a 30G/32FF in Cleo.
I had a Panache Sport](brand:827) in my previous band size, and quite liked it despite the issues of the band riding down during a day's wearing.
I tend to wear this bra as an "active work day" bra instead of a sport's bra, though I did use it for jogging before I purchased a new Enell. (I find the Enell more supportive, as I got the achey collar bone feeling with the Panache Sports Bra and too much bouncing.) I do feel like it rides down a bit - or perhaps I'm just too short through the chest for how tall Panache tends to build their bras? The cup size may also be a bit big since I've lost weight. I'm also now wearing it on the second hook.
However, this still is a relatively comfortable bra, despite imperfect fit. The material is soft, the width of the straps and band make for decently comfortable wearing, and I like that the molding/padding in the cups makes me feel well covered and secure.
Not much can be said about the Panache Sport that hasn't already been said! It's wonderfully comfortable and fits perfectly. It's also incredibly flattering under clothing -- my boobs look larger, rounder, and more lifted in this sports bra than they do in most of my other "regular" bras!
I have heard of this bra running large in some sizes, but this fits like my other Panache 28Es. The band is on the tighter side and it's very comfortable most of the time, but it can be a little restricting during intense aerobic exercise. If you're in between band sizes, I'd recommend sizing up, especially if you plan on wearing this during intense workouts.
I was originally wearing the 32FF but then had lost 20 lbs and needed a replacement. After searching measurements, I opted for this 30F I found at a sale. It fits me perfectly. So comfortable and nothing moves. The top of the right breast is slightly empty, but the left fills perfectly so I'd rather that than squish the left too hard. I got the raspberry colour one and it's so pretty. I'm pretty confident this is the only brand of sports bra I'll ever buy again
I normally wear a US size 34F. It was recommended to me the I try a smaller cup size for this specific bra. I went ahead and ordered my regular size along with the 34DD. They were shipped separately and the 34DD arrived first. When I tried it on, the band fit perfectly but I was popping out in all directions in the cup! My 34F hasn't arrived yet, but I'm pretty confident that it will be the perfect t fit! I'll be sure to post the result when it arrives.
This might be my favorite bra of all time. I got this for marching band camp, which includes 100+°F heat, constant running, dancing, marching, and stretching. I wore the same black Panache Sport every day, 8 hours a day, for 3 weeks straight...and it did a fantastic job. On top if that, now I wear it as a regular t-shirt bra because it gives such an amazing shape. I could sing sweet poetry about this beauty.
Pros: Fantastic support Underwires are dipped in silicone, so they feel like they aren't even there Padded straps J-hook for a racer-back option Wonderfully firm band Incredibly rounded shape Looks great underneath tight shirts Durable Wings are high enough to contain tissue, but low enough not to get in the way
Cons: A little pricey, but totally worth it
The cups do run a little big, I can wear a 28F very well as a 28FF, and the band is nice and firm on my 25 inch ribcage.
This is only the second underwire sports bra I've ever purchased, but it's noticeably better than my prior one. The center gore, though it doesn't lay completely flat, lies flatter against my sternum than I would have expected. This is possible because the underwire itself doesn't extend all the way to the top of the bra. It stops midway. The reason it doesn't lie flat has more to do with my breasts being set close together than with anything else.
As for the band, I started out at the outermost hooks and now am wearing it at the 2nd set of hooks after 5 months.
The shoulder straps are quite comfy.
I actually feel quite comfortable in this bra and wear it as an everyday bra when I'm feeling lazy.
The 30 band fits true, but I'm a bit perplexed about the cups. The left one (my smaller side) has a slight wrinkle at the top, and the center gore doesn't lie flat, though the band fits perfectly. So I'm thinking either the cups are too small, which I doubt, or it's just a flaw of this style (at least for my breast type). Because if I went up a size I'm sure it would be too big, but if I went down a size I feel it wold be too small. When I push the gore flat against my skin, the cups fits amazing-- no wrinkling and no pinching too tight--just right. So I'm perplexed, I really wanted this bra to work for me. However, it didn't pass the bounce test well either. Too much bounce for me, especially if I'm spending this much money on a sports bra. The panache sports bra in red/grey is beautiful and comfortable, well made from what I can tell.
The most supportive sportsbra I own; however, I haven't had experience with many others. I have FOT breasts and I find that the top of this size gapes open. The shape however is nice and the bra is very comfortable. The racerback hook provides a lot of support, but can lead to pain in the back/neck after extended wear. I use this for running and it is generally very good.
This bra lifts me way up high, which feels amazing! No bounce with this bra. Band runs a little small, which is great for me considering how tight I wear my bras. I really want this in the grey/blue color combo.
I'm a 32JJ in the panache tango (could probably do a 32J) and 32 K in almost everything else. I love this bra because it's comfortable...when made into a racerback, I can actually do a bit more as far as exercising goes...I buy it in an 34H so it's not my exact fit but it's too cute and comfortable to not buy. I lose some support because of this and the center gore does not lye flat against me but I'm contained in it. The last one I had was the same size and it lasted a year before the wire popped out and I washed it in the washing machine all the time so it holds up really well. I would say this bra more closely follows my measurements..I measure at a 34HH but breast shape makes me a K cup (I'm a mixture of full on top and round) but this bra doesn't fit me too bad-no one else can tell it's not my correct size.
After going down from a 36E to a 34E, i tried 34DD when I got even smaller, but somehow the 36D felt like a better fit. I don't need a super tight band anymore (shrinking boobs, boohoo °O°) and the 34DD just felt out of proportion on my body (too narrow bands and not enough underarm coverage for my taste) and did hinder my breathing a bit (it's a sports bra, after all, even though I like to wear it everyday. Most comfy bra ever!!!). I also tried a 36C to be sure, but that was ridiculously small in the cups.
When my 34E became too big in the cups, I ordered a 34DD. After 2 days wear, I think the band is too tight for me and I might switch to a 36C/D instead. My figure has become more athletic (more lung capacity!) and I also might not need a band that snug anymore for support, due to smaller boobs. The sides of the 34DD felt too low for me and I generally feel out of proportion in this bra. I'll order the 36C & 36D and see if they're a better fit.
For a sports bra this fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Im not as picky with a sports bra since there are a little bit less options. This is a fairly tight band. Im glad the cup size goes up to H, but I could use a bit more room in this bra. I have minimum jiggle in regular formation, but once you put this bra in racer back my breast stay put.
I got the matching briefs with this set (in coral) and when I had it on my boyfriend thought I bought it for the beach. He insist in looks like a bikini. lol
This bra is definitely too small for me, but I needed it right now so I had to buy the size they had at the mall.
But despite the fact that the cups are a size or two too small, this bra is actually really fantastic. The underwires are encased in foam and the entire bra is made of this really soft, awesome feeling fabric. The back sits nice and low. The straps are super padded and comfy. The shape is not the best and the top seam is thick, so it will show under clothes, but the bra is actually kind of cute so I don't really care. Besides, it's a sports bra, right??
I only use this bra for super easy beginner yoga, so I make no claim as to its effectiveness for more intense exercise. But for light exercise it is extremely comfortable and I love this bra.
This bra actually looks REALLY nice for a sports bra, I think. It has nice cushioned underwire and is very supportive. I don't think I'd run miles in it like I would in my Shock Absorber, but it's great for the gym and is definitely prettier than the Shock Absorber.
too small for me! I'll have a better review to write when I try one on that fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
