This is probably the fourth or fifth one I've owned, if that tells you anything about my feelings regarding this style. It's an overall great sports bra and I've used it for hiking, biking, dancing, yoga, the gym. I've never had a complaint about what I could or could not do. And the variety of color definitely makes it feel less like a boring sports bra. Getting this in Tie Dye Pink really made my day.

This is the first in a 34H after much research to decide my new size. I think the fit of this bra is perfect and I really couldn't ask for it to fit ... any better. The gore has never laid flat in any model I've owned. I don't know if it's because of my breast tissue/placement (my breasts are not close set, the tissue is soft and maleable) but it doesn't bother me nor does it feel any less secure since the material of the cups and the bra as a whole come up high.

The straps are comfortable where they sit and I love how they are thick and padded. There's no cutting into my shoulders. Wearing it in the racerback style does bring the straps a little too harsh into my underarms, but with some adjustment it isn't the worst. Turning it to racerback assists in keeping my breasts as stationary as we can ever expect them to be at this size.

The band feels fairly true to size. Normally, I will wear a 32 in regular bras for the support I need, but because I've noticed that Panache Sport runs a little tight and has overall more structural integrity, the 34 is the better option and I know that the 32 would have been uncomfortably tight for a few weeks until it stretched out a little more.

If you've never had this bra before, the best way to decide your size is to either try them on, or look at the measurements. I wear a 32KK in Ewa Michalak, yet comfortably fit in this 34H. I compared the measurements of my best fitting bra with a few different sizes of this model to decide which was the closest and had the best chance of fitting. And I did not regret a thing.

  Thanks for the review! Interesting that you could size down in cup from your usual size :O I never could get a decent fit in panache Sports and I wonder if I tried the wrong sizes. I also wear around 32JJ/K in other bras but failed with 32J and 34J panache sports.

  Good review I followed the measurements of boodyboo store calculator and put me in 32HH .i keep this size and try and one down I think this calculator run true .i agreed I always try a lot of sizes and I am very disappointed one size down the gore is far away I put two fingers in

• 1

  I'm not sure why the sizing is SO far off, but each panache sport I've had has been in the G-H range depending on the time I purchased it.

  I'm not sure if this is something that works for everyone or what the limitations/comparisons would be. (Like I mentioned, my breast tissue is soft and malleable so as long as there's room in the cup, it'll adjust to it.)

• 1

  I also have soft breast tissue. I tried 32J in this bra which I found constricting and tight, then I sized up to 34J and that suddenly is too large, too tall, gaping on top and almost pokes me under my arms. So I wonder if I only should have sized up in band but not in cups and the 32J felt constricting because the band was too tight? :S

  Oh just saw you added pictures! That bra print is gorgeous. It looks very nice on you!

  In one pics the gore doesn’t sit flat to your sternum is it bras issue ?

• 1

  alisa I am always in love with anything with fun print and colors for large cups. We don't get enough of them, so thank you!

  maraki So my breasts sit just about an inch apart, but the core isn't the strong support of most bras, if that makes sense. The wires don't come up all the way, but there isn't the firm section where the gore of a normal bra would be. I think that's why it comes out. I wouldn't say it's necessarily an issue? It's been this way for any size I've been in, but I don't feel like it compromises the security of the bra. I hope that makes sense!

• Yes j understand that I thought that this bra in all sizes must sit the gore flat .mine the 32H didn’t sit but 32HH dit’s may be iam wrong th he fits is what breast have if you feel secure ok but this bra I love it

  I'm glad this one more or less works for you. crossing my fingers that it holds up well.

• It looks good. I hope it fares well and withstands a workout. :-)

• 3

  I feel like there is only so much I can ask for. Lots of people say this bra hugely reduces or eliminates bounce, but I still have plenty of bounce, I think sports bras can only do so much as breasts get heavier...

• I hear you there, haha.

• Good bra sciencing veggiechic ! At least it sort of works out for you and you can loosen the band if you find that you have any swelling with exercise or in general. Maybe for days when you feel bloated?

• 1

  AFAIK they don't have a 30HH. I went looking for one on Amazon and the top size I could find was a 30H. That size on me did not fit 2 cup sizes too big. It was the cosmic colorway though, so maybe that one fit differently.

• Sovavosi , good to know, I have seen 30H as well, but when I looked at the size range listed in bratabase it showed through 30HH. There is only one listed with no review, so it might be a mistake. Mysterious. I actually looked at what size you had to help me make an educated guess on whether this 32GG might fit me before I ordered it.

• Their sizes are weird, I’m glad this one fits you.

• 1

  When I read your reviews and see the HH I was very happy but it’s no this size in their range I am 29 band and I go for 32H I write my review down I think we must contact panache to change the sizes I know it’s firm backs but it’s stretched out

• 1

  I wrote Panache about making a 28 band in larger cup sizes and they said there's no market for it. They don't care.

• 2

  This is not good they must listen to their customer we must contact inch other and complain that to start their backs smaller and bigger cups I will contact them but they don’t answer me we must do something

• Hello probably I made wrong I must go down another’s size I write my review in 32GG what do you think?

• Hi there panache hear us and made this bra in 28 and 30 up to J .i try it and I see how it fit

• It tops out at a H cup for 28 bands I believe.

• Hi I buy 30 J from bravissimo iam waiting to arrive

• I have it and I write review Iam very exciting

• That’s different. I keep hearing they run a cup size too big, but the ones I’ve tried have either been the correct size or too small in the cup. I can’t comment on bands as they don’t sell a 28 anywhere close in my cup size and the 30 and 32 bands are too huge.

• 2

  Sovavosi I followed the "cup size too big" rule on my first one so sized down in cup, but also sized up in band, so technically ended up in a sister size.
  Just looking at the measurement comparisons, and how they feel, there is a HUGE overall volume difference between one cup size. I shouldn't have half the cup empty in one and then exploding out the next!
  Thanks for your input. :)

  I have Panache sport in 32DD, 30E, 30F and fake one in 32E. I must say the 30F is best one, it’s snug but not too tight. The 32DD and 30E are definitely too small but I don’t feel any discomfort when using them . I just get little quadboibs over the cups. Definitely is the best bra for exercising, my boobs are painful if I use tops like Nike, Adidas or poorly reducing bouncing. These panache are amazing .

• 1

  I love Panache sport bras even though they don’t make my size. I still use them, that’s how well they work! 😀

• 1

  explain Sovavosi ! i was just double-checking - i can still fit a 32JJ in some panache, but i'm huge. I just bought another decent exposures bra, first bra I've had in ages (I do have bra-shirts, one of which i'm wearing now, which I use for low impact workouts/yoga) and honestly, i dont do high energy stuff, so its enough, but i did wonder if there is anything i can fit in to

  Well they don’t make my band or cup size so I’m wearing a 32HH. The cups are too tall but the bottom and wires are just fine. I have it hooked on the tightest hook, and the bra still manages to keep my boobs separated and it wicks sweat really well. It doesn’t seem to shimmy up my back that much despite it being 2 band sizes too big. I just use a rowing machine and some weight lifting. I don’t know how well it’d work for high impact because of the band being too big.

  How is Decent Exposures for yoga? I was thinking about trying it.

• 1

  Closest I see on amazon would be a 34J, which is close. hmm.

  I love Decent Exposure, I wore them for years, but I wear them smaller than recommended, so they act like a compression bra. I like the lined lycra. I have a long-sleeved velour bra shirt I bought for doing yoga in the winter, and its a tad small (but i think it managed to stretch some?) and I like it. I do yoga at home tho!

  Weird, I never entered the larger one. I think the one I wear now is a 30 G and its pink. this one is older; 30F - Decent Exposures » Cami-bra Scoop Back (410) . the bra I ordered was a racer-back lined lycra in 31 I, i think

• I like Panache for medium and low impact, as the sizing isn’t quite right for me (currently sort of 32HH). For higher impact I’d probably squeeze myself into an Enell and cross my fingers. Actually had found a soft cup sports bra with separation that worked surprisingly well and looked like a real bra, but am sized out now (Glamorise). The J hook on Panache has never worked for me, as it makes me feel like my own boobs are suffocating me. I think it would work for smaller cup sizes though (and more slanted shoulders?).

  Telllllll me about it. They just released a bunch of new sizes for their Sculptresse line, but the largest cup/band combo is 40GG, which is 4 cup sizes too small for me :(

• 3

  That's awful! Why can't Panache get their stuff together and make more sizes! 😫

• 3

  So true! I love my 30H but have to wear it on the last hook from the start... Indeed, Panache, why? People with 28 backs can't have large breasts? :-(

• 1

  I'm glad this one works okay for you but it sounds like it's far from perfect. :( The color and design is fun. ;)

• 3

  Panache is far superior to Freya sport IMO. It feels like all these companies are saying unless you are of a certain size range you don’t get to exercise, and that’s wrong.

• 1

  I think only Elomi and Bravissimo make bras that might fit me. I was going to try them because I'd really like them for more active outside time this summer.

  I think it's probably hard to design bigger bra cup sizes, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try. Especially since sports bras don't need the same aesthetics that other bras might

• Panache change

• Panache change their sizes they made 28 and 30 up to J

  Thanks for the review! I just bought mine. I can't wait for it to come in.

  gratiat , you won't know yourself! I was gravity-defiant for the first time in my life, it was so liberating. LOL Hope you enjoy your exercise more afterwards like I did.

  I need one! Great review and glad it works so well for you!

• maraki It looks beautiful on you. It's hard to find a good sports bra in smBand Bbust bras so I'm happy you were able to find one *cabbage patch* lol

  Really it’s hard I wear it every day bra I love it

  That pattern looks great! I find their sizes weird too. Mostly just too tall. The unwired are more closed on top, if you feel like that would work better.

• 1

  Aaaaah I love this one. And that's great that it works for you :)

• For now it does! We will see how it fares when I get off the pill (which is in like 7 days so).

• 1

  Thanks for the info about it being tall and having room at the apex. I'm certain the same thing would happen to me. I've wondered about this bra, but I think I'll stick with my compression bras...

• 1

  Wilderness1 excuse the crappy drawing but this is how I *feel* my breast sits in the cup... I can't be 100% sure because I can't actually see it but yeah. The blue line is my boob. It sort of acts like a shelf from the bottom and then my soft tissue just sort of sits in it...does that make sense? https://i.imgur.com/NBQ2G8N.jpg
  Seeing as we're pretty similar in shape I'd say it's a safe bet you'd have the same thing happen.

  I'll also say I just can't seem to pull the wires into my imf although I know they can sit there but the bra is pretty bulky down there and I can't seem to make it right.

• 2

  I love this sports bra. I think I have a similar shape to you both, brasaremean and Wilderness. I size down a cup to a 28FF and it works great for me. It fits nice and snug and lifts/compresses my breasts somewhat so that they fill that little space (like in your drawing) that would be there in a G cup. It feels very secure.

• Hm Sonya I do wonder then if I should just send this one back and exchange it for a 30G... but I'm so scared it will be small :(

• 1

  brasaremean Thanks for the drawing... that's pretty much what I thought from your review. I have read (in other reviews of this bra), that you do need to size down in this one.

• I might just get a different one in 30G from poinsettiastyle (cheaper, anyway). Just for comparison. Because when I first put this one on it genuinely seemed like it would not fit on the sides...

• 2

  brasaremean I took apart one of these and the wire channels are actually filled with clear gel. Possibly why it feels weird on the bottom. I don't think that I can actually get mine shoved all the way up in my IMF either.

  It is a very beautiful pattern!

  Such a beautiful colourway!

• 2

  oh I really like this pattern!

• O how did I just see this? That colourway is amazing. I actually got this one just a couple days ago (before reading the reviews about how the cups runs) and I got it in 30GG and now I'm thinking it might be too big in the cup...

• brasaremean Their cups are weird. They're just really tall :(

• 1

  Fingers crossed it fits cause even with the figleaves sale + 10% off it was still really pricey!

• This is my first time seeing this pattern, and I love it! If it extends around the back I think it could be a viable option instead of a bralette to have peek out from tank tops...

• Hello thanks all for your comment this colour is very sexy it seems like lace and I think is ok what do you think?😊😊😊

• Of course I buy it from fingleavs 15 % - and 10% +extra it’s very good opion and I love the color I believe is the most nicest of all colors that panache made

• Hello I believe it runs big iam 30 J and this is 32H what iam says I love it it’s from the more beautiful color I ever see two colours together it looks like lace

• Hi panache change their range
