I tried this bra in my regular size.
It runs true to size in both cup and band in my impression.

Construction:
The bra is like a boob armor. The materials are thick and sturdy and the cups are thick and molded. It's made of several layers of moisture-wicking fabric. However, it does not seem suitable for warm weather.

The straps are very long and didn't adjust short enough for me. I had to use the racerback clip to get them in place, but it felt a bit uncomfortable since the clip is sitting very high.

Fit:
It fit great right after putting it on and scoop & swoop. However, after moving my arms, I ended up with empty space on top of the cups and "armpit fat" that wouldn't go back into the cups.

Sizing down in the cup didn't help (too small). I didn't try sizing down in the band, since the band already fit tightly and I cannot stand a too-tight band in a sports bra.

Since a sports bra is kinda pointless if you cannot move in it, I didn't keep it.

Everybody loves the Panache Sports Bra, but it's just not the right style for me.
I prefer my Shock Absorber bras, since they are light and thin, suitable for any kind of movement (even yoga!) and still give great support. Plus they are machine-washable!
