Such a soft and lovely bra! Inside of cup is lined with a warm eggshell type beige. The bra is such an unusual color and the embroidery is so lovely! The ribbon detail is very pretty on this one, in the delicate pink.

The 70 band on this bra is perfect. I am thinking I should go back to 70 bands in Ewa, since I've had a lot more too-big 75s than I have too-small 70s, at this point. The cups, tho, verge on being too small. I have 2 Ss in 75JJ (sister size to this), and my Panterra fits on smaller days but the Magique fits on bigger days. I was honestly hoping for another 'bigger days' bra, as I seem to keep gaining no matter what - and some reveiwers said that this bra ran tall on them, making it effectively larger - but not this one, for me. Looks like another smaller-days S.

Again, only tried it on once, about a week ago, and will probably update after more wearing

Jasmine is currently my best fitting bra, with Ewa's SF coming in second (but one cup size up from this).

So i decided I needed a second one, but not in black. I almost bought this bra when it was on sale (not much on sale, really. Like $10 off) But it sold out in my size! I was determined to buy the new blue floral coming out SS 2017 AS SOON as it hit amazon - but it came out missing several J and JJ sizes, including 32JJ. Luckily this one came back in stock and I scooped it up!

It seems to fit slightly ... smaller than my last Jasmine - or maybe I'm still gaining weight (cry!). No quadding, but no extra room up top. Similarly rough fabric to my black jasmine. But as usual, Jasmine gives me great projection so my breasts dont fold on the bottom, like they do in Ewas. The band and wire are very firm, needing only maybe one adjustment throughout the day, as opposed to every two hours with Ewas.

Yay for panache Jasmine!! in blue!

While I was expecting this to fit just like my other FBs, it seemed . . .different. Tighter? Esp in the armpits? It also buckled a bit under the boobs and maybe wrinkled a bit?

Ok, turns out this 75 band stretches to 31.5? omg tight! I didnt try it on with an extender and I guess I really should! Hopefully that will help with those issues.

As always, cups are slightly big and straps are barely long enough - which makes no sense since I"m only 5'2 and i cant figure out how a tall woman could possibly wear this bra.

Lovely colors!

Expanding my FB collection, as this cut is the most comfortable for me these days, despite the cups being slightly too large.

This band is not too large tho - a 75 that doesnt even stretch to 32! This one will definitely be worn with an extender for a while. The last one that needed an extender stretched out past that need in maybe 2 months, so not too bad.

Excited to have a basic beige bra again - occasionally they seem to come in handy. Very reminiscent of my BM perla which i was so sad to outgrow.

I got a great deal on this bra from someone who ordered the wrong size from (zulilly maybe?). Its a discontinued bra (and super cheap on amazon right now). While most reviewers found the band to run tight, this 30 runs large - the previous owner measured it at 32, but I measured it at 31.5. While i could close it without an extender, I felt the cups were slightly flattened, so I used an extender for the pictures and will wear an extender for probably the first month or so.

As you can see from the pictures, the fit of this bra is just ... 'eh'. Other women in the larger cup range also commented that this is just the least supportive Panache we've seen. Now, the cup also might run a tad big - it measures in between my 32JJ cups, but is a bit loose on top. But definitely a droopy sort of fit for me.

I actually like the lace pattern, but its basically just a beige bra. However - I do not currently own any beige bras that fit! So at least I can wear that white shirt without the color of the bra being visible!

I will keep it for a beige option and an easy-wear option. Not exciting, but worth it for the price I paid.

I wonder if an Ewa pad in the bottom would help?

So, I had tried a 32JJ red floral floris last year, and it seemed huge and I returned it. But this was a good deal, NWT, and this white floral colorway I had actually bought myself for a birthday present in 32J, and was pretty bummed that it no longer fit, so I was pretty excited to have it. Which is probably part of why i will forgive some problems with this bra!

It is slightly too big. There is some loose fabric on the top - but this happened with the 32J when I first tried it, too - since there is no stretch, there ... is very little wiggle room between loose fabric and quadding. But the loose lace does not show under shirts

The wires on my smaller side poke me in the armpit, esp in certain positions (like driving). I dont remember any other bra doing that so much, and I assume its a combination of slightly too wide wires - I do have empty fabric on my smaller side - and the slightly higher wires in this size.

As usual, its a more projected (almost pointy) shape which I like under more shapeless clothing, to give more definition. The cups give great support. It feels like my boobs are strapped in to a harness with lots of hardware holding it in place - which is not super comfy, but at least it does not require as many adjustments throughout the day as my EMs do.

Its big enough, firm, and I do like the pattern, but no, the proportions in this size are not quite right for me.

Note, I did wear this, until a wire broke

Finally tried Jasmine and wish I'd tried it sooner!

Floris was my favorite bra until I outgrew it - but I mostly grew in fullness, and when I tried a larger Floris, the shape was all wrong - too wide, too deep.

But this bra fits similarly to the way the 32J floris fit me - almost pointy, which i like under over-sized shirts. Great uplift, easy fit for me! It is slightly loose at the top on my smaller side, but thats fine - I needed this for a PMS bra. I might even borrow a pad for my smaller side, from other bras.

This is a lovely, simple, easy-to-fit beige bra. The fabric is very stretchy, making the band fit as I would expect from a 32. The cups have enough give to be flexible in sizing as well - I do think this bra is too small for my larger side, but the quadding is mellow and the cup manages to hold the breast well anyways.

While this is really 'just a beige bra' I do find it lovely - the sheer lace, the little center bow, all in all this bra makes me think I could feel happy and confident wearing this under a light colored top.

Of course the seams are slightly visible under a t-shirt (and that is a thick t-shirt), but nothing too distracting or loud.

First off, go down a band size in this bra, it runs VERY stretchy in the band. I have it fastened on the 3rd of 4 rows, but it probably should be on the tightest. On the second, it wouldnt stay in my IMF at all.

While this is technically a leopard print (despite being called panther) it is very subtle, which works for me as I am not a fan of animal prints. To me, this is just a textured navy bra. I bought it because I wanted to try a bigger S, and it was new and on sale (and i did ... not like the only other S in this batch).

So, the cups definitely fit better than my poor lovely Eden. One pad in my smaller side and none in my bigger side seems pretty good. The top view is, to my eyes, remarkably even - most of my top views you can clearly see how uneven my boobs are, so the pads do a good job.

I am not sure S is the best shape for me. On the one hand, the look under clothing is spectacular - high up and smooth. On the other hand, I just dont like the way it looks without a shirt as much. I feel like I have 'cup-of-boob' - my breasts are so soft, its like they are being held in a cup, and they almost flatten at the top, because I am so soft and there is no support on the top to shape them.

However, I suspect I will wear this a lot (until the band stretches out or I lose weight) because it does give such a solid look under clothing, and of course warm in the winter!

The lining of the bra is black cotton, the straps are nicely thick and stretchy, the pink flower is soft and made of ribbon. The band fabric feels smooth like my BM but slightly thicker, but the elastic along the bottom of the band is narrower than the BMs elastic

This is one of 3 bras I bought used recently on Facebook.

This is definitely big on me, esp in the band. It was loose in the middle hook so I'll probably have to wear it on the tightest hook right away. The cups are VERY wide and a little too deep and not very supportive - it definitely gives me a saggy, sad-elf-shoe type look. I also dont like the the color - BUT .. . this is actually something I was kinda looking for for work-from-home. This is comfy and easy and should be a good bra for days when I just want to wear a 'meh' bra. Those kind of days happen to all of us, dont they?

Edit: when wearing on the tightest band setting, its actually more supportive. Hubby said my breasts look smaller in it (because its wide instead of deep, of course, so somewhat minimizing).
