This bra is now too small for me, but when I got it by the beginning of the year it shaped my breasts very nicely rounded and gave me a good lift so my boobs didn't look low. The bra is very pretty and it didn't show through clothes. After a lot of wear it has not stretched out or bent out of shape.
Fits correctly against the chest. Feels comfortable. Unfortunately the straps won't hold their length at all and are way too stretchy. Need to be fixed to a set length or replaced. They probably work ok on smaller bras.
The wire bends quite easily which allows more space in the middle of the bra (more cup space despite 43.5 cup depth). However seems to create too much separation.
Hello Tia, I never try pamela Joseph bras. Do you know if they are as deep as Harmony by Panache or Alana by Bravissimo?
Hello Tia, I had a Pamela Joseph Jasmine bra in 36M a year or two ago. It looked very pretty before I wore it. It was almost the correct size, but I could not be sure because it had no support and the wires flexed and gapped as you mention. I threw it out a while ago so can't compare now.
Extremely late reply I know but like Caroline says there is little to no support so not much use that this size.
What to say about this bra? I picked it up super cheap on ebay and didn't have especially high expectations, and I'm glad that I didn't. The quality of the materials doesn't seem to be as high as I've become accustomed to in other full-bust brands. It's a bit scratchy and the wires seem to be rather flimsy. It's got quite a nice pattern which I think was more attractive in the lilac/white combo than the plain white. I'm intrigued about the sizing system, which seems to be totally different from any other system. (Also in my review of the 30M)
Fit wise, it really doesn't fit. I anticipated ...the band being too large, as my ideal bra would be a very snug 28 or a regular/stretchy 26. I also have the common issues in this size of stupidly wide wires which lead to heaps of wasted space in the cups, and straps which are too wide set, leading to the side of the cup being too high and cutting me off under the arm. When I scoop into the bra, I have quadboob on both sides and the gore sits a very long way from my chest.
Overall, it's a bit of a disappointment, I may list it, or I may just use it for parts/practising alterations. Read more 108 more words

The band is too large, ...which isn't surprising as I'd ideally wear a snug 28 or a 26 band. The bra suffers from the regular design issues in this size range like cups which are too wide and shallow, and straps which are too wide-set, affecting the fit of the bra and cutting me off under my arms. It seems to give me roughly the appropriate volume in the front, so I'm hoping that I can make some alterations to improve the fit a little. The gore doesn't tack in it's current state, but I'm hoping changing the fit will fix that. Read more 97 more words
This bra looks nice enough, and I feel like the shape might actually be good in the right size, but the cup is SO SMALL that it's hard to tell. I usually wear around a 30JJ. This is a 30K, and yikes. The bra itself seems nice, though, and the material is relatively soft. The band seems like it would be relatively firm, although I can't really tell since it's not like I can wear it. The wires are extremely thin. I might give it a shot in a cup size or two up, although I have concern that even in the right size it might cut in on top with my full-on-top boobs. I will report back if I end up with a bigger one.
It might be good to notice that this bra skips double sizes, atleast in the larger cup sizes, so without a JJ, HH etc it's not as "big" as a K usually can be...
