Like the other 34D plunge Perfectly Me bras I have worn, this one is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable but far too loose in the band. It also gives a slight quadboob. This one may be a dud, as the strap connector in the back on the right side tore pretty quickly.

I mostly like this bra. It's a decently fitting soft cup with a round shape.
The band fits loose - I need to wear it on the tightest hook. I fill out the cups well. I'm not sure yet if the cups are too wide - I suspect they are, but just a touch. The tag on this bra is very itchy.
If only it were dark purple!

Okay, this bra is weird. When I first tried in on a couple months ago, I couldn't even fasten it. I tried again today and was just barely able to do it up. Despite the label, the stretched band doesn't even reach 30 inches.
The straps on this bra are too long, and it really skews what may otherwise be a passable fit (assuming the band loosens). The wires are too wide and the cup covers much more of the sides of my breasts than I'm used to. The cups just kind of hang slack because the straps are so loose. Holding the straps seems to fix the issue, so I'm considering altering the straps to adjust shorter to see if I may actually wear this bra.
The fabric is soft and thick without being padded. The bra itself is beautiful, though definitely not a longline. It comes no lower than a normal bra.

I've tried three different sizes of Panache Sports now. Though none of them have been quite right, I still love them. They are comfortable and functional. What I like about this one, which does fit*, is that nothing digs in while I exercise, and it keeps my cleavage fairly minimal.
*Consider sizing up a band size! I do a lot of upper body work (hanging) and I think I'd prefer it a little less tight for this high intensity environment where my shoulders are moving around a lot. Lately I prefer having this bra in my normal rotation and not my exercise rotation. Next Sport I try will be a 34D.

For a while in 2012, I alternated between two identical Lepel Athena bras in 32E. It was my favourite and best (...only) near-fitting bra, but unfortunately it is now too large for me.
The cups themselves are smooth and kind of boring, but I like the lace on the band and straps. It was smooth under my shirts and very comfortable. The band is pretty stretchy.
I purchased them from Bramora in Dublin. The fitter there is fantastic and I haven't found a better one yet.

This bra gives a nice round shape, the band is decently tight, the lace is lined, and the material (satin?) is soft and beautiful. It has a slight shine to it. I love it, except for the wrinkling at the top of the cups. Maybe it doesn't work with my shape? I would love to try it in a 30F to see if it fixes the wrinkling.

I have the same bra in 30FF, and I like this one for the same reasons: true-to-size band, nice material, soft, great shape.
Except this one is too small in the cups, so it gives me a massive quadboob on both sides.
