Sculptresse Chi-Chi / Panache Jasmine
My current go-to is my Panache Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) 38HH, despite it requiring an extender. (Jasmine doesn't go up to 40, my size.)
Lo and behold, I just stumbled upon the Sculptresse Chi-chi Full Cup Bra (7695), which is essentially the same style as Jasmine and goes up to a 46 band! What a lovely discovery! I can't wait to give it a try!
There isn't much Bratabase data on the Chi-Chi or other similar Sculptresse cuts. So I'm wondering if any of you have tried BOTH the Jasmine and the Chi-Chi. I'm very interested in how they compare sizewise. Should I just consider them the same model, and start with a 40H sister size when I try the Chi-Chi?

Perhaps starting with the same size is the way to go. Based on this comparison—the only exact size match of the two styles—the band may tend to run a bit long anyway, while the cups seem comparable: http://bra.pe/CFzC/
I've recently tried three sculptresse bras one of which was Chi Chi. I find they run a little small in the cup so consider sizing up on the cup. Chi Chi has the stretch lace so it's a bit more flexible. Gives a nice round up front shape like Jasmine. I didn't keep the bra. It was a little too small in the cup.
