Well I bought this bra back in May 2016. I have only recently gone back to gym in January since october last year. Attending about 3-4 times per week doing the usual cardio /weights. The bra gave me excellent support and fit especially as it's so difficult to find in my size. UNFORTUNATELY I assumed ( WRONGLY) that it would be more hardy as it's a sports bra. I sweat a lot and was finding hand washing just wasn't working anymore as there would be a sweat smell coming off the bra despite it being washed as per care instructions. So tonight I put it through the wash and it has completely destroyed this bra. I totally understand that as I haven't followed the care instructions it's totally my fault but honestly feel that a sports bra should be more use than a standard bra. It's supposed to be designed for sport, sport makes you sweaty and smelly so how the hell am I supposed to keep it clean!!!!!!!! Really upset at the loss of this bra as other than this , it's been perfect.

This bra gives excellent support during workouts. It is also very comfortable. Had to go up a back size and down a cup size.

I do not understand all of the fabulous reviews this bra receives; I had a VERY different experience. The sizing is all wrong. I bought my usual size from Panache bras that I have had in the past, but this is NOT the same. The cup is not accommodating--and the underwire, instead forgives by resting on my rib-cage on the bottom and only the bottom; the top of the underwire (in the center) rests in the middle of my breasts. It is awful; a terrible fit. While this is a step above a bra that works on compression, if the underwire doesn't press against the rib-cage, it does nothing: This bra is a good 2" away from my ribcage. This fits nothing like the other Panache bras I have purchased (happily) from Bravissimo and I am definitely disappointed.

I have always had problems working out when it came to supporting the girls. This bra is an amazing find and I don't have to play with different sizes to get it right. This matched my full coverage band and cup size. I also wear a 32J depending on the style of the bra, so finding a small band with a large cup is near impossible in the United States. I can now even jump rope (with this sports bra of course.

I absolutely love this bra..fits a lil big though so u might want to take a size lower than ur usual size.Awesome purchase overall.

I find this bra reasonably comfortable and supportive, which is high praise as I hate all bras. I always tend to buy a few as I wear them everyday to work. I agree with others about the underwire, I always have to replace because the underwire pops out and stabs me. I have been re-measured and tried different sizes but this always seems to happen!

Unfortunately, there was not enough support in this bra. I couldn't just wear this one for exercise. Even though, I always hand washed it, the underwire came out almost immediately and has rubbed on my underarm.

I have had the black one for a few months, wearing it occasionally and caring for it properly by hand washing it but the under wire still managed to wear through and pop straight. I would expect it to last a lot better than this! I also purchased the 'storm' one and have had that only a couple of months and the under wire is already starting to wear through! Extremely disappointed in the quality.
