I have been wanting to try the Panache Sport Top for a while based on good reviews, and the fact that I like their bra. I got the black colorway which has a bright pattern running down the front sides. I have read some reviews of people who use it for swimming, and it seems like it would work well for this as well as regular exercise.

This top has the same fit at the sports bra, which I like. It provides a good amount of support, and a nice shape. The fact that there is a top on the bra makes it more challenging ... to hook the bra, there is tight fabric on top and in the way.

I haven't worn this to the gym yet, but it feels like the same level of support as I get in their regular sports bra. As stated in other Panache Sport reviews, the band is tight and the cup runs big. For reference, I bought this in 30GG, as the 32GG I had bought recently felt big in both the band and the cup. I had to fasten the 32 on the tightest hook. I can hook the 30 on the loosest hook. I haven't done a thorough measurement of myself recently (although I need to). My under breast measurement is a 28.5 tight, and over bust is 38. I would ballpark my UK size at 30HH.

I haven't worn this to the gym yet because I feel very exposed in it. Apparently I need to 1) get over it (haha) and 2) wear it around the house to try to get used to it. It is not any more low cut than the bra, so really not low cut, nor much cleavage. However, the top is form fitting, and I felt like it made my breasts look very large and on display. I can only imagine how they will look during jumping jacks, even with the purported 80 percent bounce reduction.... I am not sure if this is really portrayed in my pictures, maybe the black makes it look minimizing, but in real life I felt very vavavoom. I normally wear a semi tight shirt on top of my bra, but the fact that this panache sport top is tight across the bra and is also tight under the bra and all the way to the hem highlights the size difference between your overbust and underbust measurements.

This unfortunately didn't fit for a number of reasons. Firstly, I could barely fasten it in the back. I had to struggle with it a lot to get it to stretch enough the first time, and even though it stretched out a little after being worn for a while, it was still a challenge to get it on. There was also quite a bit of extra space at the top and a little space at the bottom. I think the cups might run large, and it seems like it's definitely meant for more full on top breasts than mine.

Despite all this, it was still quite supportive, and I ... would have overlooked it if not for the fact that the shirt wouldn't stay down. If I moved around at all, it would ride up. Not exactly ideal for exercise. I think if my stomach was flatter it would have been fine, but considering the entire reason I bought it was to lose my pregnancy weight, it seemed a little silly to keep it at this point.

One nice feature it has is the J-hook in the back, which helped a little with the issues I was having with the extra room in the cups.

If I was going to try another one of these, I would try one band size up and one cup size down, but I think unless I find a really great deal on one, I'll just look for a traditional sports bra.
