My shape: tallish, widish, splayed roots, very close set at the top; evenly full top and bottom; slightly center full; pendulous; need a good bit of depth at the wire. Best fits are Panache 34G/36FF.

I feel like this bra is my BEC. Like, the bra basically fits and really doesn't have all that much wrong with it, I JUST DON'T LIKE IT. I don't like the rosy peach lining color against the black, I don't like how the top goes straight across my chest, I don't like that it doesn't give my breasts the kind of uplift that my Jasmine does. I don't like the skinny straps.

There are some minor fit issues. The gore is very tall, much taller than my Jasmine for all that bratabase thinks this actually is a Jasmine. The straps are wide set and cut into my armpits. So do Jasmine's, but Esme's thicker fabric rubs my arms too.

Esme has the stretchy softer fabrics typical of Panache Black. They feel nice but the softness is a disadvantage in the cups causing them to be unable to lift pendulous tissue the way Jasmine does. Straps are skinny and stretchy, and since the wings are pretty tall I can't shorten them enough to get more lift.

Combine all this with an appearance that to me is just "meh" and this bra is not a keeper.
