My shape: mid-height front-facing teardrop-profile (ski jump with no "jump") with tall shallow roots, low apex, lots of immediate projection underneath but moderate overall projection, wide roots with lots of side fullness and shallow tails that wrap all the way to the shoulder blade, extremely close-set center tissue (possibly a trace of natural symmastia), and very firm self-supporting tissue that when pushed out of shape will push right back.

This bra was one of 5 Panache Jasmines I bought to try from Nordstrom. I also tried a 30FF in black, a 30FF in nude, a 30F in nude, and a 30FF in navy houndstooth.

No Jasmines for me, it seems. There are just too many issues. The cups, while a closer fit than the 30FF - Panache » Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) in nude, are a bit looser than the 30F - Panache » Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) in black, and have more of the same issues with the top panel being stretchy and accommodating on my upper root but too full and closing too quickly; the apex being too high; not enough immediate depth at the wire all the way around; and a pointy shape. The gore has an unusual flared shape that mimics my natural IMF, but that doesn't stop it from being too tall and too wide and stabby. The wires are slightly narrower, and combined with the slightly-shorter wings than the 30FF, they start to poke into the tissue there. The straps are also still too far apart, and while not AS far, still enough to cause problems.

The 30 band is perfect on the loosest hook, though (snug 72/BTT 66.5 cm today).
