    Used to fit

    I've tried the wired Panache Sports bra before, but the size was all off... so naturally it left me with a bad impression.
    I will say that in 30GG I don't think it's half bad.

    First and most important -- the gore in this bra tacks on me. It's a soft tack but it's the most tack I've ever gotten in a wired sports bra so I'll take it.
    The wires seem kind of sharp though, I can't quite figure out why. Like on the outside, they actually have sharp edges. Not sure how good or safe this is for the bra. The wire channels are mega cushioned on the inside, ... so if they are sharp there, I can't tell.

    The cups do run a little bit larger. I find I can't quite fill out the apex of the bra, and not because it's small as the cups don't feel compressing or tight or uncomfortable in any way. I'd say half a cup too large. For higher set breasts/short roots it might be a full cup as the cups are extremely tall. For me, I find if I slouch the fit goes all off, I can't at all fill out the top of the cup. So I guess I should just not slouch.
    I don't know if I'd fit into a 30G is the main issue I'm having doubts about returning this, mainly because I think it would be short on the sides. Maybe someday in the future in which case I will just purchase another one cause screw it.
    The bra looks nice under a shirt, no pointy, but rather a nice rounded shape. I quite like it. In 30GG for me I fear it wouldn't be very good for anything other than light running/yoga etc. Just cause it's that tiny pinch too large.
    Another thing, taking measurements for this bra is really difficult so take mine regarding cup depth/width/height with a grain of salt.

    The band I'd say runs very tts. I've seen complaints about the band being tight and maybe it's a colourway thing, but I find this one to be comfortably tight.

    So overall I'm pretty pleased with this bra. The colourway is fantastic, kind of a little more feminine and elegant rather than in your face this-is-a-sports-bra, and I find it not very distracting which makes it great for yoga I think. I can't stand colourful loud bras in yoga classes (unpopular opinion but w/e).

      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.

      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).

      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...

      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.

      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...

      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!

    Used to fit

    The Panache Sports bra is just what I needed for pilates/yoga and hiking. It provide firm support without compressing my chest into a uniboob. I can't speak to whether it works for running, but it held up pretty well to the jump test.

    The fit of the 30GG is spot on and the shape/profile is the best I've seen in a sports bra. The band is quite firm and unstretchy. The first time I hooked the band, it was a bit of a struggle, but after a couple days of wear it loosened just enough to become a perfect snug fit.

    The central gore is a couple millimeters from ... tacking to my sternum, but I think this has more to do with the design of the bra than the fit. You can see in the pictures that the foam of the cups continues above the central gore and is sewn to the outer lining of the bra, pulling the wires out a bit. The underwires are thickly padded and quite comfortable.

    The straps attach to the front of the bra a bit more centrally than a normal bra, which leave a tiny bit of underarm fat/sideboob uncovered, especially with the low wires under the arms. I haven't found this to be a problem in terms of support, but it can look a little like the fit is off.

    Overall, I'm very happy with the bra and highly recommend it!

    Used to fit

    I bought my first Panache Sports bra used on ebay, because I was going to work in a farm and needed some sort of comfortable bra in which I could easily move with less impact to my back than "normal bras". I followed the advices on Bratabase that said to get one cup size down from your real size.
    It was my first sports bra ever, but since it was a used bra I couldn't really officially review its effect, in my opinion. Then I lost weight and changed sizes so I ordered a brand new sports bra. Now I've used it everyday for three months and I've just ... bought a new one in white, so I can finally review this bra !

    The first thing I've noticed is that, unlike my "normal" (Cleo) bras, the band is quite firm. It was good because I have enough to deal with back pain with the physical activities I'm doing around the farm, there's no need to add those of a too much elasticated bra back !
    The center gore is quite comfortable with its padding, and it separates my breasts nicely. The cups are soft and comfortable too, and it protect my nipples from the cold air out there, which is good since I'm in Sweden. There's nothing I dislike more than having cold hard nipples, it hurts !
    The padded straps are also very comfortable. But I don't know if it's the texture of the padded sections or the sweat produced, but I have a couple of small red pimples where they sit on my shoulders.

    The big advantage of this bra is that the straps are more centered and closer to my neck than on my other, "normal" bras. It's the feature I love best in this bra, because thanks to that the straps don't fall off my narrow shoulders like they did with my other bras ! I wish all of Cleo and Panache bras would have the same feature…
    I like the 3-hooks closure for the nice support it gives.

    As it is, this bra doesn't suppress bounciness, but then I have very soft breasts. I don't use the J-hook in my everyday activities but I noticed it helps a little with the bounciness.

    It doesn't get smelly with sweat or retains much deodorant perfume, and when I wash it, it dries very quickly.

    This bra gives my breasts a rather nice shape, but less projected and high than with my Cleo bras, so it has a little minimizing effect. I can wear this bra under normal everyday clothes too (which I do because I have only two bras that fit me at the moment) and it's not obvious I'm wearing a sports bra.

    All in all, I think this is a pretty good bra ! The only downside is the price…

      Not only a nice, thorough review, but another reminder of how bad americans are at learning another language . . . i'm always impressed by such eloquence in a second language

    • 3

      Thank you! *blushes* Being a french girl in Sweden, english is kinda required to be able to communicate here ^^
      I'm sure with enough motivation and efforts, anyone can learn another language ! But english is special because it has become universal…

    • My husband is french canadian - he said he learned english early because he was an avid reader and english books were cheaper.

    LOVE THIS BRA!! This is the absolute perfect sports bra for my size/shape!! It holds in everything in place and keeps me from bouncing everywhere! I love the fact that that I can wear as a regular bra, but I love having the J hooks and that I can easily convert to a racer-back and it's easy to reach. It's also lightly lined so that nipples don't show through on cold days. I have several colors and rotate them as I work out several times a week. Again, very expensive bras, but worth the cost for the great fit and durability.

    I loved this sports bra when it fit me, very supportive and even fairly cute as far as sports bras go. I have recently gone down a few sizes so it does not fit me anymore.

    great sports bra, good support!
    i'd say size down one size in the cups, keep your usual band size.
    the shape isn't too bad, not super pointy and not squashed.

    I prefer the 30GG's (I own two) for lower-impact stuff like yoga.

    This bra is very CLOSE to being my size, but after an hour or so of exercise I'm just as glad to take it off. Still, I plan to buy a 32G, or possibly a 32FF. (I feel like I might want the size down? These cups are very spacious and molded, because of how they're designed, so it's hard to be sure.)

    PROS: Nice shape. "Modest" enough to be worn without a shirt. Decent bounce-prevention, though I wouldn't use it for running. Comfortable, in spite of being too tight.

    CONS: Well, if you're looking for a running bra... Plus, Panache bras seem to very rarely go on sale.

    Its measurements were modified after wearing it for so long on the last hook even though it wasn't my band-size (mistake on my part). The too small band teneded to curl up, also changing the shape. It's good for exercise, but not a perfect fit cup-wise. Fabric was a bit stiff and almost scratchy at first, but easily turns comfortable. Material is thick, so very durable but also prone to feeling 'too hot'. I still like it, it fits, it works. Overall, despite the minor cons (mostly my fault), it is the best bra I currently own.Will keep.

    my first sports bra which separates the breasts. i really like everything about. fit is great. fabric is pleasant to touch and easy to care for. i really like the option of clipping the straps in the back for a racerback option. i wear it running. i wear it in self defense classes. it keeps my breasts steady during the most intense exercise and it looks good enough to be worn alone on those long summer runs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
