I normally wear a US size 34F. It was recommended to me the I try a smaller cup size for this specific bra. I went ahead and ordered my regular size along with the 34DD. They were shipped separately and the 34DD arrived first. When I tried it on, the band fit perfectly but I was popping out in all directions in the cup! My 34F hasn't arrived yet, but I'm pretty confident that it will be the perfect t fit! I'll be sure to post the result when it arrives.
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.
This is only the second underwire sports bra I've ever purchased, but it's noticeably better than my prior one. The center gore, though it doesn't lay completely flat, lies flatter against my sternum than I would have expected. This is possible because the underwire itself doesn't extend all the way to the top of the bra. It stops midway. The reason it doesn't lie flat has more to do with my breasts being set close together than with anything else.
As for the band, I started out at the outermost hooks and now am wearing it at the 2nd set of hooks after 5 months.
The shoulder straps are quite comfy.
I actually feel quite comfortable in this bra and wear it as an everyday bra when I'm feeling lazy.
The 30 band fits true, but I'm a bit perplexed about the cups. The left one (my smaller side) has a slight wrinkle at the top, and the center gore doesn't lie flat, though the band fits perfectly. So I'm thinking either the cups are too small, which I doubt, or it's just a flaw of this style (at least for my breast type). Because if I went up a size I'm sure it would be too big, but if I went down a size I feel it wold be too small. When I push the gore flat against my skin, the cups fits amazing-- no wrinkling and no pinching too tight--just right. So I'm perplexed, I really wanted this bra to work for me. However, it didn't pass the bounce test well either. Too much bounce for me, especially if I'm spending this much money on a sports bra. The panache sports bra in red/grey is beautiful and comfortable, well made from what I can tell.
The most supportive sportsbra I own; however, I haven't had experience with many others. I have FOT breasts and I find that the top of this size gapes open. The shape however is nice and the bra is very comfortable. The racerback hook provides a lot of support, but can lead to pain in the back/neck after extended wear. I use this for running and it is generally very good.
This bra lifts me way up high, which feels amazing! No bounce with this bra. Band runs a little small, which is great for me considering how tight I wear my bras. I really want this in the grey/blue color combo.
I'm a 32JJ in the panache tango (could probably do a 32J) and 32 K in almost everything else. I love this bra because it's comfortable...when made into a racerback, I can actually do a bit more as far as exercising goes...I buy it in an 34H so it's not my exact fit but it's too cute and comfortable to not buy. I lose some support because of this and the center gore does not lye flat against me but I'm contained in it. The last one I had was the same size and it lasted a year before the wire popped out and I washed it in the washing machine all the time so it holds up really well. I would say this bra more closely follows my measurements..I measure at a 34HH but breast shape makes me a K cup (I'm a mixture of full on top and round) but this bra doesn't fit me too bad-no one else can tell it's not my correct size.
After going down from a 36E to a 34E, i tried 34DD when I got even smaller, but somehow the 36D felt like a better fit. I don't need a super tight band anymore (shrinking boobs, boohoo °O°) and the 34DD just felt out of proportion on my body (too narrow bands and not enough underarm coverage for my taste) and did hinder my breathing a bit (it's a sports bra, after all, even though I like to wear it everyday. Most comfy bra ever!!!). I also tried a 36C to be sure, but that was ridiculously small in the cups.
When my 34E became too big in the cups, I ordered a 34DD. After 2 days wear, I think the band is too tight for me and I might switch to a 36C/D instead. My figure has become more athletic (more lung capacity!) and I also might not need a band that snug anymore for support, due to smaller boobs. The sides of the 34DD felt too low for me and I generally feel out of proportion in this bra. I'll order the 36C & 36D and see if they're a better fit.
For a sports bra this fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Im not as picky with a sports bra since there are a little bit less options. This is a fairly tight band. Im glad the cup size goes up to H, but I could use a bit more room in this bra. I have minimum jiggle in regular formation, but once you put this bra in racer back my breast stay put.
I got the matching briefs with this set (in coral) and when I had it on my boyfriend thought I bought it for the beach. He insist in looks like a bikini. lol
This bra is definitely too small for me, but I needed it right now so I had to buy the size they had at the mall.
But despite the fact that the cups are a size or two too small, this bra is actually really fantastic. The underwires are encased in foam and the entire bra is made of this really soft, awesome feeling fabric. The back sits nice and low. The straps are super padded and comfy. The shape is not the best and the top seam is thick, so it will show under clothes, but the bra is actually kind of cute so I don't really care. Besides, it's a sports bra, right??
I only use this bra for super easy beginner yoga, so I make no claim as to its effectiveness for more intense exercise. But for light exercise it is extremely comfortable and I love this bra.
This bra actually looks REALLY nice for a sports bra, I think. It has nice cushioned underwire and is very supportive. I don't think I'd run miles in it like I would in my Shock Absorber, but it's great for the gym and is definitely prettier than the Shock Absorber.
too small for me! I'll have a better review to write when I try one on that fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
i have the aqua, lime and grey version of this sports bra. It is super comfy. It runs tight in the band and big in the cups.
The measurements for this bra are a little tricky as the underwires are padded. so for example, the center gore is 7inches, but the underwires are only 4.5inches tall, and the rest is just soft material. The same is true for cup separation: the padded channel for the underwires is thick, but i think it is flexible and the actual underwires are only 0.5 inches wide
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.
I honestly didn't think this one would work as well as it does. I do very high impact workouts and it keeps me contained and feeling safe. It's not "oh I left my boobs at home" feeling you get with Enell Sports (100) , but it does reduce bounce significantly while worn in racerback. It took some time getting used to the new pressure position of the straps and it did leave my collarbones sore the first time, but we're all good now. The only downside I see now is that it gets really hot wearing it, but that can be solved by working out only in the bra. It looks that ...good, you do not need a top with it.
As for the shape it gives, I'd be ranting and raving about any bra who creates such a perfect round uplifted shape, and when it comes from a sports bra? Let's just say the enell is taking some time off now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I wish it came with matching full length running tights <3 Read more 64 more words
