My Stats: FOB, projected, close set, firm and dense tissue.
Size: Normally 28FF, got this in a 28F. I really liked this print and the price was too good to pass up so I opted for the smaller size

Bra Stats
Appearance: cosmic print sports bra

Cups: good projection, I feel pretty secure although the cups are small. Quadding on my bigger size, pretty good fit on my smaller size.

Band: very tight, I should have sized up to a 30 band.

Gore: gore is tall and doesn't quite tack

Straps: the distance is fine. I wish the straps were longer. Straps are of medium comfort. I wore this on a trip and had some bad chafing when wearing a backpack.

Shape Under Clothing: For a sports bra, the shape isn't nearly as important to me. That being said, I am surprised I got a nice shape. Not super uniboob or super separte either.

Cosmic Print colorway

This bra is so comfortable and you can find it in so beautiful prints and different colors that it’s hard to buy just one.
It fits wonderfully on my bigger side. I have a little bit of empty space on my small one but it’s not noticeable to other people because the cup is moulded and the top stays flat against my chest.
This 28 band is snug as a sports bra should be but not to tight. A 30 band would be to big on the loosest hook.
It gives an amazing support! You can do some serious workout without feeling every single bounce of your breasts.
I won’t wear anything else for my workouts.

This is a cup size bigger than I normally wear, and fits so much better. I think ideally I need more immediate projection, so the band sometimes moves down and I have to adjust it back up. I wish it came up higher and covered more because the support is not so great for me at the top, but using the racer back clip helps.
Otherwise, the best sports bra I've tried, and I've tried almost all that are available in my size.

Whoever designed Panache Sports bras should be given an award. I love these things. This one just is too tight of a band for me. All the fit problems don't really matter due to the design. Too wide of a gore? Padded underwires don't hurt! Not enough projection? It's a tall bra, and the padded wires don't dig into my ribs!

This bra didn't work for me at all, but the 28E was a better fit so that's where I put my detailed review.

Note: In my pictures the bra was worn with the tightest hooks and the straps hooked into a racerback.

I really love this sports bra. But I needed a 28E instead (which I got later). I had some empty space at the top of the bra cup, which really wouldn't be noticeable to anyone but me. I wore this once running and had no issues with bounce, but decided that the empty space bothered me too much and ordered the 28E. The band is nice and firm. Overall, highly recommend.

This might be my favorite bra of all time. I got this for marching band camp, which includes 100+°F heat, constant running, dancing, marching, and stretching. I wore the same black Panache Sport every day, 8 hours a day, for 3 weeks straight...and it did a fantastic job. On top if that, now I wear it as a regular t-shirt bra because it gives such an amazing shape. I could sing sweet poetry about this beauty.

Pros:
Fantastic support
Underwires are dipped in silicone, so they feel like they aren't even there
Padded straps
J-hook for a racer-back option
Wonderfully firm band
Incredibly rounded shape
Looks great underneath tight shirts
Durable
Wings are high enough to contain tissue, but low enough not to get in the way

Cons:
A little pricey, but totally worth it

The cups do run a little big, I can wear a 28F very well as a 28FF, and the band is nice and firm on my 25 inch ribcage.

Best sports bra I've ever worn, especially when the back straps are joined to form a racer back. I jumped around and had such minimal bouncing it was like another user said, she forgot she had boobs! It's super comfortable and the shape it gives is amazing, lifted up and still separated. Not the uniboob you get from the compression sports bras. The underwires are hidden so it still looks sleek enough to wear on its own. It looks great under a t-shirt, like a normal bra! I got three of these in different colors and it may be my favorite bra purchase yet! The 28F is a tinsy bit small for my cups as I'm in between a 28F/FF, but not enough to make the fit uncomfortable or unsightly. And I think a 28FF would have been too big. There's a little spillage by my armpits, and when in an exaggerated racer back position, I pop out the top a little bit. But again, hardly noticeable and won't be an issue once I can start exercising regularly again.

I had this bra in 28FF but it became a little too big for me. My normal size in other bras is 28F. I think I´m actually between sizes here, these is minor quadboobing if I pull my shoulders back, but it will go away if I lengthen the straps. I actually can still get away with 28FF or 28F. 28FF also feels secure and supportive, I only have some dents in the cup of my smaller boob.

I think this is the world´s best sports bra. It is very supportive and pretty and gives probably the best shape ever for me! The shape is even better than any ... other bra, including Ewa Michalak, round and uplifted!

The band is quite tight, When I tried 30 it was too big for me, but nowadays 28 feels like its better to wear it with an extender at first. I can close it and it is not too uncomfortable, but I prefer extender.

EDIT.
An now, after only a couple of months, I get definitely quadboob https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Other than that, the bra is still okay, and wearable, I guess.

The band is super snug on this bra and it feels fabulous. This bra provides so much lift and gives a great shape. It also cuts down on bouncing and I am able to run pretty rough with minimal bounce. Definitely much better than my Freya Active Underwired Sports Bra (4002) in 28E and 28F.

The back has the option to make it a racer back which makes it quite versatile as well!
