This bra fits just like 38J - Panache » Thea Balconnet Bra (9261). It's slightly softer and has narrower straps but, in general, the fit is the same: average width wires, firm uplift, high apex, firm lace for no in cup quadding.
Much nicer feel but similar fit to Jasmine as well.
I now have enough experience with this type of Panache bra to know why I'm having a fit issue that gives me rocket boobs (torpedo, but pointing up). The bra's apex is too high for my short rooted full on top breasts. I get lots of lift but my ... nipples are way lower than the apex, so everything is squared off because the top of my breast tissue is forced into the apex.
Besides that, it's a beautiful bra. The elastic top and the bra are double lined. The inside of the bra is very soft. The band is likewise double- bagged and feels firm like a true 38 although it does stretch to 40. I doubt it would wear out quickly because it's a fine mesh. It almost feels like swimsuit material. Although there are only two hooks the band was supportive.
The only uncomfortable part was the straps which are narrower than most in this size. They were also a bit too wide, cutting into my armpit fat.
All in all a lovely bra for someone with slightly wider, taller breast roots. A cheaper Thea, but not cheaper made. Great bra for the price if you are the right shape or don't mind a little pointy action.
