Sports bra success!

I just recieved my grey 28GG Panache sports bra in the mail, and it works!! I'm not saying it's perfect, but it contains all of my tissue, without feeling like a torture device. I only have a tiny bit of boob popping out on my larger/taller side, but seriously, I'd need a turtleneck bra to cover that up. The wired part of the gore tacks, and yes the cups are too wide, creating that emptiness at the bottom-outer sides of the cups, but I seriously don't have any bras where the underwires perfectly follow my root. Thanks to the padded wire channels, there's no stabbing, and I don't actually *feel* the wideness. The band is tight without suffocating me, and while the cups in the 30G I tried had some extra space, these are much better (weird, as they should be the same). The band also feels a little firmer than in 28G. The grey/lavender is a great option to the boring white and black basics. I'm ready to go sportsing!

This bra is not owned any more

• I love my Panache Sport too! The only problem I find with it is that it sits just a bit too low on me. When I'm running it'll sometimes feel like my ribs are getting bruised. But I still want more anyway!

• I had that problem with the 30G because the band was too loose! Maybe add some extra padding where the wires poke you? I haven't had the time to do a proper test run of the bra yet, but it stayed up well during my standard wild bounce test. I've avoided physical activities for years but now I'm excited to pick up the ol' roller skates!

• The band pokes the ribs that jut out beneath my underbust because it slides down ever so slightly. I think padding there would only exacerbate the issue. It's annoying, but certainly not a dealbreaker.
  I'm so tempted to buy another but I've already got two Cleo Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) on the way >.<

• That sounds painful :/ It's things like that that makes you wish we could all have padded ribs! Ahhw I love the Lily! What colours did you get?

• I love the Lily too! I gave my friend my Lily because we're practically the same size and she had no proper fitting bras. I've been missing it ever since haha. So i bought another 32FF parrot print and a 30G aqua/pink one. I'm just waiting for the magenta/orange one to show up somewhere for cheaper and I'll snap it up as well :)

  I'm not really a fan of next seasons swan print so I've got to stock up!

• The original parrot print is one of my favourite bra colours ever :) I love the navy in combination with the pink/orange straps and accents, it's the perfect shade of coral for me. And parrots! I saw Bravissimo has an exclusive pink version, same as the aqua but with inverted colours. I noticed in the SS15 season, there won't be a new Lily. There's a similar cut, I forget the name, it had a watercolour floral pattern I think? I sincerely hope Lily makes a comeback in AW15. I would absolutely love one (or several) as a basic. Can you imagine a beige one?? Or just any colour but candy pink/magenta. I don't mind it, but it's a bit overused.

• I know, magenta and pink are soo common. I do like the orange accents on the magenta lily though - they keep it feeling fresh. The Claudette Dessous colourways are really nice, and I wish more brands would experiment with colours. Cleo does, but I feel like it just gets fluorescent and tweeny at times. I saw an upcoming butter yellow colourway for the Panache Andorra, and it's so much nicer than the yellow Marcie Cleo has. I can't stand the Andorra's gore, unfortunately.

  The SS2015 version of Lily is called Erin! http://stanikomania.blox.pl/resource/Erin_navymulti_02_b.jpg

  It looks like the top contrasting pink is actually ribbon, and not mesh like in Lily and Meg.. I just hope it fits like Lily and not Meg!

  Also from SS15 is the new Maya: http://stanikomania.blox.pl/resource/Maya_tealanimal_01_b.jpg. I actually like the new one a lot better than this season's Maya. I'm not really sure why - possibly the orange contrast?

• I like Lily's magenta because it looks slightly darker and not the usual kind of makes-your-eyes-hurt pink. Panache's spring/summer styles for next year all look amazing - I had hoped the pastels and especially lemonade would carry into Cleo's range, but alas. I like the yellow Marcie, it's a lot less highlighter yellow than the model pictures suggest, more of a sunflower type of colour. Still not quite working on my skintone, but it's bright and makes me happy. Pale yellow is my favourite though. I wish Cleo would branch out into colours with less "pop". Sadly main brand Panaches don't get along with my shape - I have super narrow roots and I find all of their bras have rough and itchy fabric. Even the miracle Jasmine was a failure. I'm taking one last chance with the Floris, which supposedly fits like Marcie, but if that doesn't work, I'll have to give up Panache for life.

  Erin is kind of cute, but I'm worried the ribbon will make it tighter across the top. Part of me really likes the Maya, but I think it's just a little too much with the rainbow colours And the sheer embroidery And the leopard print. I think it's growing on me though, I used to hate it. Orange contrasts make everything better!

  I checked out the Claudette Dessous - love the seafoam/khaki and apple green! I'd really love to see more green bras. There's a couple of emeralds and jades floating around the bra-verse, but nowhere near enough to satisfy my wants.
