Hasn't set fit
Yasmin's tag only has a band size for each country, with a large 'FF' printed to the right of them. It's inaccurate. It says Things about the company's internal problems that they release products without accurate cup size for each system, expecting consumers to guess at it (UK FF? US 32FF??? lol STFU Panache u absolute clowns).
So anyway. Welcome to my review of Yasmin, one of many in the ongoing series of purchases 'This B Run Extra Deep, Deep', because that's my main priority with any/all bras, ever. Please suspend hopes/expectations of pushup-y, shallow, compressive cups because we don't do that here whenever avoidable... If this intrigues, read on brave traveler!
On first glance Yasmin appears to be a flirty/flimsy/strappy little number with no real capacity to do anything but look cute for a few hours before being flung drunkenly to the farthest shadowy corners of disappointment in a fit of angst. Nay. It's dainty, non-fused airy mesh and breezy lace layers give good structure, even if they do not allow any ease for extra spaciousness. And it's shape is stupidly projected by several sizes for a narrow, immediately projected, bottomfull friendly fit with an emphasis on inner fullness for a shorter root, topped off by a very tall wing and short armscye which help it herd things back to the center...
...But I personally don't agree with things that push my tissue anywhere, being as 2/3rds of my tissue is on the outer side of my nips, so the entire cup settled somewhat side-set, pointier than my actual shape, and the top cut into my roots above areolas weirdly which made me realize that I've seen this shit before (narrows eyes)... Somewhere.
Enter stage left, Panache Tango Plunge. Aha, it's all coming back to me, the anticipation, arrival, confusion and finally heartache of looking into the mirror at the grim distorted figure that was so right before going so terribly wrong, glaring back at me: Heeheee yes I run BIG for others, but I'm at least a size too SMALL for you /mocking voice
(I did in fact dear reader, scurry horrified back to my too-tall-gored Gorsenias that also 'Run A Size Large' but not for me, to contemplate WTF and wonder what went wrong with Tango).
Which brings us back to the present moment. Overlaying the pattern pieces from both Yasmin, and Tango, the Yasmin's runs a half inch taller and full INCH WIDER in the inner panel by gore than Tango's do, while Yasmine's side panel is only .5" bigger along the upper seam, and otherwise stays the same shape throughout the cup as Tango's. But Yasmin's side panel also has a slick modification of making it's armscye shorter between the wing and upper band that the straps attach to, than Tango's outer panel which extends more vertically from the outer wire/wing. Yasmin's wing is a folded over duoplex flap that exists inside of the double-bagged powernet band, but it's just floating in there uselessly, so underwire's ability to spring is zero, therefore side control/side stability isn't there, and the only forward direction of the breasts is contingent on Yasmin's cup shaping alone.
Back at the gore, the base between Yasmin's wires is 1.5" apart just at the band, then it terminates to .8" wide where the wires end above... it would have been even better if they'd been overlapped as polish brands tend to do, but oh well not this time.
Someone's out there on a mission to give shorter projected breasts a fighting chance at centerfull support with style. I can respect that.
Now the cup's upper band. There's no stretch here whatsoever, so also no room for error in fit. It's a LOT better than the gougey one on the original Tango, but it's pretty similar in shape and same length, so it still cuts in if one's roots aren't quite short or shallow enough. Yasmin's upper band is much narrower vertically near the gore, then it widens out to the same shape and width just above cup apex where both panels join, and then widens taller toward the straps.
On one hand Yasmin has 1/2" more apex projection than Tango but on the other, the upper band still tilts inward and closes off INTO the breast if one's not short enough, which I regrettably have discovered is the case with me (curse of short projected boobs + useless as hell tall root -FML).
Where do we go from here. Ah yes, Fixtures. Straps are fully detachable 3/8" slinky elastic with about 50% stretch- there's no adjustable slider for them so either they stretch to fit or are taken off. Meh. The closure is only 3 pairs of hooks which sucks, but they're set in an amazing silky nonstretch pillow that is divinely comfortable. All the O rings, j hooks and sliders are cast black enameled metal free of sharp edges and sounds.Sorry everyone who loves a haunted creaking bridge theme and squeaky mice, you'll have to look elsewhere. Underwires are J shaped, 10.5"long with the outer side sitting at 4+" tall and the gore end almost 2" high. One can measure the width inside their arms one of 2 ways: diagonally which gives a cross-cup measurement width of 6", or the more accurate way of directly horizontal across the lower arm to the opposite side which gives us a mere 5.25" width, which is SUPER IMPORTANT to think about in combination with the fact that there's virtually nothing but immediate depth out from the wires for a good inch and a half here. Then Yasmin's cup simply projects forward 4.5" of that lower 5'5 cup height, and this extends outward from the wires at such a low zone. I feel this part is especially important to take note of because it's basically the opposite of Andorra that compresses and squishes wider rooted breasts into the chest wall. Maybe there's a crossover size somewhere in the full range where these opposites are less opposed in features, but that's hard for me to imagine where it might happen (44D? who knows).
Ultimately for myself having the lowest apexed breasts in the history of all breasts, that are also doubly thick & obnoxiously stiff, this is kind of a wildly cool style to have been able to have on hand through my ultrashort boob HH/J/12" deep shitfit issues, but it's functionality is limited to something closer to the Ewa BM cut (close set, longer than wide/tall, muzzle-like containment) than the way Freya plunges fit (generally short/wide/upperfull-friendly, flexible lift). Yasmin & I's time together has become more and more limited, but the journey continues.
