Jasmine is one of the few examples in which my intensively measurement-based spreadsheet method of identifying bras to try has failed me quite spectacularly.

Based on measurements, Jasmine should've been one of my best fitting bras, as it's pretty similar to Panache Envy in a different fabrication, with a smaller band. Envy fits me well but the band is definitely too large, so Jasmine should've been a natural choice. However, in this instance, fabrication makes a lot of difference.

Despite measuring almost 1" smaller in the band on the flat, Jasmine's band is super stretchy and actually rides up on me (Envy doesn't, but isn't snug enough for the right fit). The bottom cups are a super lightweight stretch woven, which behaves in a very unflattering manner on me, bunching up and wrinkling in all sorts of ways. Stretch knits and laces exhibit deeper but fewer wrinkles than this material. The overall appearance is sloppy and just looks sad.

However, the lightweight fabric is very comfortable, and I think it would be a great choice for summer if this style suits you. Like Envy, this style has a wide stretch lace panel at the top of the cup, and this has a lot more give than Andorra, which is more closed off--thus this style would be suitable for tall roots. I think this would be best for those who wear larger band sizes or are true 30 and above, and have full breasts for the cups. Note that the support of these cups isn't much different from stretch lace, so if Panache's stretch lace (Andorra, Envy) aren't supportive enough for you, this will not be as supportive as their non-stretch woven cups (i.e. Tango).
