Background:
The Panache Sport bras are very well loved but there seems to be little information on their swimsuit. As I absolutely love their underwired sports bra (summary of how I got into Panache sports bras: 28FF - Panache Sport » Sports Bra (5021)), I took the leap to try this out and it did not disappoint!
Look:
Classic black swimsuit with flattering grey contouring and red accents. I love the athletic look! It is essentially a standard swim suit with ... their famous underwired sports bra built inside. Regular one pieces give me no support at all (deflated looking chest, hang lower than expected), so although some might consider this more 'bulky' the lift is 100% worth it plus the padded cups ensure no cold incidents show through. I like the look of this so much that I'm tempted to also wear it as a bodysuit, maybe with a black/ red/ white skirt underneath? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Fit:
The internal bra fits exactly like my other 28FF underwired sports bras, which is a perfect fit - great shape, support & strap length for future adjustment as needed. The only difference is that instead of 3 x 3 set of hooks the back closure features a black clasp with no length adjustment, but it fits me well so I'm not too bothered. The clasp is easy to click on and off (though I struggled initially, my trick is to do it up at the smallest part of my waist then put the straps on and swoop & scoop etc). Similar to their sports bras, there is a hook at the back to convert to racerback style if desired. The bottom section of the swim suit does cut into my butt slightly but not offensively so (for reference, I'm usually a UK 10-12 in briefs, and XS-S in leggings). Overall, I think this will mark the end of my deflated swim suit days and I can now go to the swimming pool/ beach with confidence https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I'm so glad this worked out for you! And it has wires! Does the band soften up in water, that's what I'd be worried about since the band is a single length. And it seems anyone with a butt is bound to end up with quad-bum . It's inescapable :(
