FOT/SHORT ROOTED/FULL/CLOSE SET CHRONICLES PT 4,632: I'VE BEEN FRAMED (facepalm)
My feelings about panache jasmine ultimately are the same as cleo's hettie: Mixed, as they're technically wearable without pain after altering the strap position, but decidedly specific... "Why does this halfcup have such a bizarrely wideset strap and utterly flimsiest stretch lace ever, on top?" and "Oh wow cool thanks, I've always wanted bulging corset boobs/busted muffin can chest shape" :/
Their underwires don't crawl away from my boobs for dear life, something many similarly upper full, projected, narrow wonderful polish bras end up doing over the course of a day when hormonal fluctuation arrives out ... of nowhere, busting up in the scene like the Kool-Aid Man. I love them but also, I'd like maybe super narrow cup + ultrashort + full AF love sometimes. Ever.
Both jasmine and hettie act as compressive, all-containing minimizers attached to unwarranted armpit saws on me (beacuas... highset root funtimes), but only jasmine loves to gouge and squeeze the everloving life out of my hefty sideboob as all panache bands/underwire position are wont to do on my conical ribcage. Looking down inside the cup from the wire, it's not built to do that, there's no 'side support' shaping in there... so I feel strongly this comes down to how the cup is already shallow on bottom, and then my shape (boob *everywhere all at once* along scant 3" vertical height- not especially 'long' but requiring so, so much elongation in a cup), and the shitty classic panache bra frame angle that predicts that cups must always be aimed directly up toward one's chin like a rocket launcher... grossly, vertically, inhumanly erect. Not supported, not aloft, but weirdly diagonally aimed toward the heavens and inward at a strict 45 degree angle like a beast about to attack passersby or even the wearer's, throats.
No I don't actually think jasmine has a cup shape resembling an iguana head, why are you asking?
You see... jasmine's band length and height are perfect, they feel so good on my midget torso. The armscye works for both my idiot small ribs, and the idiot huge shoulders- typically I only find this combo in Comexim. Despite sensing that this cup fits 2 sizes too small for me depthwise, Jasmine's wires on their own seem pretty much on par for the shape/depth I need in bratabase suggested sizing... but and it's a huge but... the way jasmine's band attaches only along the top end of the outer wire instead of extending all along to the bottom of underwire for stability, encourages its wires to spring in a nasty corkscrew of doom with the hell-tall gore tipping forward away from me and the rear end directly into my ribs. An excruciating and wildly polarized effect to the otherwise marvelous cup depth and cozy band/strap fit.
Meanwhile? Jasmines straps are yanked backward deep into my pits as there's literally no stable upper cup for it to attach to (remember than weaksauce flimsy trash lace? ahah, that.) And finally for the pièce de résistance, upper boob bisection/cups crumpling downward into awaiting nips due to all of this fkry.
IT'S HELL.
I must mention I've been wearing panache's ariza at least as long as jasmine for the same reasons (something, anything extra deep that can accept fot shape), with equal amounts of fail-success, yet this problem never happens with that style. They both have projection and depth on their side, but ariza's rather andorra-ish with needlessly wedglelike/pointy/tiny/compressed nipple pocket issues that always make me wonder wtf panache was going for by creating such a madhouse oversized, voluminous cup (true to size for me) with such notably tiny, conical, pointy fit at the very tip in front! Like, we're talking a 4 size difference, kind of weirdness in the shape there. AINT NO WAY I'M THE ONLY ONE NOTICING THIS BIZARRE ISH. Blocky on top but you know, tolerable for depth sake.
Anyway. Back to jasmine vs arizas bands and how this affects their cup fit. Jasmine's band extends directly back from the top of the outer wire which causes the whole damnable thing to flex the cup width to a whopping 7.5" with horrifying ease... which increases the upward angling far past that 45 degree angle foolery found in so many panache offerings, while ariza's conical ribcage-friendly band descends downward diagonally from the outer wire and barely flexes out even .3" wider, leaving its cup shape intact. Ultimately this difference in frame accounts for a whole lot of cup fit troubles as jasmine starts off bottom shallow and becomes mid-zone shallow with only ultimate upper projection to offer me (shape in clothing presents as a boob-eraser), while ariza remains evenly projected despite being about as andorra-compressive-shallow as they come.
(yes? I despise andorra with the burning passion of 10,000 suns, what of it.)
All of this, all this time later, all the side stabbing and gore -goring my upper boobs, a world without Jasmine looks like a bleak and wretched place indeed.
