This is a very well made and supportive bra. It gives amazing uplift and gets the boobs out from under the arms. The materials is very supportive and has minimal stretch. I would consider this bra best for busts without wide roots. I have quite wide, shallow roots and the wires of this bra sat on breast tissue on the sides of my ribcage. Also, since the material is so supportive and has little stretch, I would recommend buying at or one size up in the band or consider wearing with an extender until the bra stretches a little with wear. I have listed this bra if you are interested in purchase or trade!
The Panache sports bra doesn't prevent quite as much bounce as its Freya equivalent, in my experience, but it's significantly more comfortable to wear, and it doesn't make me look as flat-chested or pointy as the Freya does!
This sports bra is a couple cup sizes too small, but honestly I still wear it. My boobs do get squished together a bit, but I expect this from a uni-boob sports bra. In larger sizes, this dug into my armpits a little and wasn't high-impact enough for running. In the smaller size, my boobs are squished but at least they are held in place. The design is SUPER cute. I love the padded straps. I do get pretty sweaty in this, but it's still one of my favorite sports bras.
It's a well-made bra. When it fits, it is very comfortable and provides excellent support.
Unfortunately for me, the band was a little on the large side and the cup too much on the small side. For this model, a 28F or 30E (on my bloated days) fit me best.
when the bra was new, i was not used to the tightness of 30 bands. but now that i am used to tighter bands, i truly need like a 26 or a 28 for this to work. and thus there are many other issues that come with a loose band, namely tissue escaping from the armpit. also, without any inserts, the cup where my small boob goes has now permanently creased in an ugly way.
despite all the issues the bra still works when i do dig it out of my closet to go jogging, which is amazing and goes to show how well engineered this bra is.
I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top.
This sports bra gives me support and makes a gorgerous form. It's kind of my personal pushup-bra. I wear it in my ususal size 30D. The band is true to size but doesn't strecht a lot which might make breathing difficult if you want to size down because of wearing out. The cups demand a lot of volume on top which I don't have but they give me good support anyway. They also seem to be true to size. The wires are really soft it took a lot of time to me until I found out wheter they are wide enough. They are but there isn't much space on the sides so this bra might not be an option for women who need really wide wires.
It's very comfortable, and gives me a much nicer shape than other sports bras. However, because of its light padding this sports bra feels warmer than the unpadded Shock Absorbers I own. I feel really supported in it, even without clipping the straps together in the back - I cannot really do this comfortably, because I need long straps. The band feels very tight and is just right for a sports bra.
