This was my correct fit in this bra, but I returned it because it was damaged. I also found the violet color to be way too loud - much more so in person than online. I will do a full fit review on the Geo pattern.

This is the best sports bra I've ever had!!!
It's very comfortable and very supportive, and I felt very secure during my workouts. Practising TaeKwonDo I do feel like I need a lot of support and this one is the first sports bra that left me completely unworried about any bouncing or other kinds of uncomfortable movements of my boobs!!!
So far it didn't significantly stretch out either.

Additional measurements:
Cup separation/width of the wired gore: 1.3 cm
Height of the gore, from bottom edge of the band to the top of the underwires: 9 cm

First, the blue/orange (I think it's called Cobalt) colourway is gorgeous. I'm actually excited to go sportsing in it. I am NEVER excited about exercising. I chose between this and the grey option, but settled on the blue one since it's a seasonal colourway.

It's an interesting construction: it's a full coverage bra, a crop top even, but the actual wired gore ends in the same spot as a balconette, about halfway up from the band. That part tacks, while the wireless upper bit ... does not, but I don't think it's supposed to. The wires are also padded(!) with foam(!) which is a wonderful feeling. Full bust brands, please introduce this to your non-sports bras.

Now for the lesser parts of the Panache Sport. When first putting it on, I instantly felt this wasn't much more supportive than my regular bras. I actually find the band to be a little loose, which, for a bra that is to be used during high-impact activities, is not a good thing. The cups are also too wide, and shallow at the bottom, and when combined with the loose band and my narrow roots and V-shaped rib cage, the result is two unsupported bouncy fleshy pillows attached to my chest. I will be keeping the bra (partly because I spent a fortune on it) after I bend the wires to better suit my roots/ribcage (to be honest, I'm getting sick of this alteration), which takes it from a "Meh" to a "Pretty Good" rating. If and when I replace it, I'll probably size down a band, maybe also a cup, and pray to whatever deity that my tall roots don't make me quadraboob out of the bra.

I knew that there was a good chance the cups would be too big, but the price was right and I was in need of a sports bra so here I am. When the new colorway comes out in July I definitely want to try it in a 30FF, but for now this 30G is fine for my needs.

When I scoop I don't appear to have a problem with the top of the cup but I definitely do on the side/bottom. The wires are too wide and there is also empty space, which is from a mixture of the too large cup and my inner fullness.

The bra itself feels fantastic and serious. It's padded and wants to hold everything. The straps are really great and shouldn't cause problems with digging unless maybe you're doing some crazy repetitive lifting. I don't really wear shirts in public that don't cover my shoulders but I really like the feeling of the j-hook clipped and might wear racerbacks with this just because I can.

Best sports bra ever!
Nice firm band that hasn't stretched out much at all, even with frequent wear.
Cups are fairly high, so do show under low cut tops.
Very supportive, perfect for netball/jogging/anything else I do.
The logo has faded after many wears, but the rest of the bra has held up very well!

This is one of the most comfortable bras I have ever worn. It is the first sports bra that I have had that is supportive and holds my breasts in place without much bounce without constricting them. The under wire sits firmly in place while almost imperceptible. The added racer back clasp at the back allows a more support and range of movement if needed. The straps broaden at the top of the shoulder and are padded. It looks great under a t shirt and fantastically comfortable to wear all day long.

This bra is still new so I cannot yet comment on ... how much it will stretch out but it is worth noting that the band is a very snug fit. The band while on and closed is perfect but I have on the first few attempts found it hard to get it closed on the loosest clasp. Personally I don't need a larger band size but I do measure at 28" while standing upright and 29" while bent over horizontally so perhaps a larger band size may be worth taking into consideration when trying this one out.

It isn't the most bounce eliminating bra I own (that's the Lynx Zoom) but it is incredibly comfortable, especially for a sports bra and does a pretty good job eliminating bounce. The only bits that do bounce are the little tissue above the top of the cups. The cups are nice and opaque which is good under lighter tops. I feel like it fits true to size with a firm band.
