I'm loving it, it's such a pretty bra. And so "flat", there's no lace to show through a tight top or anything!
And the band is properly tight! I cannot close it without using an extender right now, but I like that as it means I will get more life out of the bra before the band stretches too much.

The main issue I have with this bra (and the 70LL one) is that the gore is painful. This is most likely (from what I know now) a combination of my sternum not being used to gores that tack on the underside plus the weight of the boobs. The ... PL doesn't lift much in the center, something that it appears I do need in a bra.
Cups seem to be perfect, when I push the gore flat they do not quadraboob. So I'm thinking this is my size.
*edit on this october 2013* I've discovered the source of the pain. I need to wear the bras 1 hook larger. When I do this, the bra does not pain me at all. Yay!

*edit end of June 2013* I no longer need the extender, I'm wearing the bra mostly on the second set of hooks now. Cups are when I look closely not perfect after all, when I push the gore flat it looks like just a touch overflow. But still not tacking and hurting on the underside after a day's wear.
I now know for sure that it's not the lack of tacking in the past, as I now own several Panache Jasmines that *do* tack properly and they don't hurt me AT ALL. 32K and 32KK (altered down 34K) Jasmines, they are.

This is my boob heaven bra. It's amazing. Seriously.

1. It's the first bra for as long as I can remember that actually tacks. This is due to the underwires sitting on top of each other because my boobs as good as touch. But with just 1 wire width, the gore tacks in that tiny space between them.
2. The stretch lace is amazing. Normally I always get the top of the bra to cut into tissue and quadboob, but whatever I do in the Jasmine, it won't quadboob!
3. The band is firm and supportive, even though it's too large, I should have 32s.
4. the floral print is so pretty!!!!

*edit end of June 2013* I've now altered the band down so this bra is now 32KK. It barely rides up anymore so this bra is like the perfect fit on me now.

This bra has a beautiful color, sky blue, a really pretty pale blue.
Fit is quite ok, not good but not terrible either. There's not (much) quadboobing going on, which is a HUGE plus in my book. But the center gore isn't flat and the cups are certainly too small on me.
The label says it's a 32 band, but it feels and measures like a 34 band.
It's a comfortable bra that will serve me well until I have figured out my true size and am able to buy enough bras in that size.

I'm loving it, it's such a pretty bra.
And the band is properly tight! I can *just* close it without using an extender, but I prefer one or two extra rows for the first wears until the band has stretched a bit.

The main issue I have with this bra (and the 70M one) is that the gore is painful.

Cups seem to be alright, but when I push the gore flat they quadraboob just a little. So they're actually too small.

Awesome, beautiful bra. But sadly completely the wrong shape for me. I need narrow&deep cups, this bra has wide&shallow cups. Oh, and the wires are so high on me that they poke.
Band is still super tight on me even though I got it as giveaway as a very much worn bra. While I absolutely need 32 bands in some brands (Fantasie, Elomi), I need 34s in Panache it seems!

It's still beautiful! And with an altered center gore the fit is better already so I can totally wear this for now.

Beautiful bra, lovely shade of lila, but sadly not for me anymore. It's just too small, much too small.
I've rarely worn it ever. I let the bra lady convince me to buy it anyway even though it was quadboobing already, she convinced me that it wouldn't show under clothes but it always does of course and I was young&innocent&naive enough to believe her back then.

It really is super pretty and Prima Donna is a fine brand, although pricey.

This one is actually one of my better fitting bras in the cup... well I only say that because there's no quadboob here. There is side-boob, and the band is way to large on me, especially now that it's old&worn out.

It's very pretty and I like it a lot. Superb brand, pity they don't make larger than L cups because I now know I need a smaller band size and larger cup.
While the cup is definitely too narrow for me, the wires do not poke at all, anywhere. And because I've never had a properly fitted bra in my current size I'm kinda used to having the weight extra on my shoulders... so I don't really feel that either.

Very pretty balconette bra. The band fits me perfectly, it seems. The cup is slightly small though on my larger boob, it's not quite overspill but there is some cutting into the tissue on the top of the cup.
The centre gore starts out resting against my ribcage, but quickly lifts just a bit. I think this is due to the cups being slightly too small. They are wide enough but could be deeper for me.
I am completely in love with this color combo. I love teal, and the gold embroidery gives it a really royal feeling.

It's very pretty and I like it a lot. The thing I remember from buying this bra is that it is the extra fabric on the top of the cups that removes the quadboob for me, I also tried it in the same size without the extra "Blende" (that's what Ulla calls it) and it was quadboobing on me.
