I have had the Panache Sport Sports Bra (5021) for a long time. I’ve had it more than once when I wore different sizes or just needed a replacement. It wasn’t a perfect fit but was my favorite underwired sports bra.

I have a new favorite now in this Sculptresse sports bra. The fit is similar to the Panache 5021, but the bra isn’t as tall, and the cups don’t have the foam. So where the top of the Panache cups gap because of the height and the stiffness, this Sculptresse bra actually fits close to the body. It has compression and encapsulation, keeping ... everything secure for a workout. If you did a lot of jumping or HIIT, then it might not provide as much support as the Panache 5021, but I have gone jogging without an issue. The Panache gaps for me at the top because my breasts push the foam forward, but I get a really good tack in the middle with the Sculptresse. I exercised today and have had it on for a few hours afterward without any discomfort.

I recommend trying this bra if you have a projected shape or are close-set and have been looking for something to contain the girls that actually tacks in the middle and fits snugly across the top. If your breasts are very wide at the root, then you might need to size up. The wire is completely behind the breast tissue for me, but I do have narrow roots.

Love the color and the J-hook. Big fan of this bra!
