After wearing Frederick of Hollywood Corset bras in 32F for years, this seemed like a much better fit. But the wires come up too high under my arms, and the gore digs into my sternum. It's not projected enough for me, and I really need a 28 band. I like my Cleo bras much better because this bra's wires are too wide.

Pros: pretty shape, decent lift, classic elegance afforded by the grey/black leopard print with black lace and black satin-y straps. Nice materials that don't stretch excessively over time. Straps are 1/2", which is nice for my small frame (in the FF at least, can't speak to other cup sizes). The stretch lace on the top half of the cup perfectly accommodates my asymmetrical breasts (yay!).

Cons: Straps are too wide for me (what else is new?). I get [GOT] some seriously uncomfortable chafing from the cups in the underarms [for the first few months] which makes [made] me want to take it off. In a molded cup ... like my Panache Idina moulded, this front-of-armpit digging isn't a big deal because the fabric squishes and is comfortable enough for all-day wear. However, the Jasmine has no stretch/squishiness to make it more comfortable in that area. I am disappointed by this bra, as it has been a big hit for so many. [UPDATE: irritation appears to have been due to arriving heavily starched - this chafing is now gone after several, I will emphasize again SEVERAL, washings. In retrospect, I wonder if soaking this puppy for a good long while in the sink would have helped. Don't know if that would tamper with its longevity.]

This bra has a bit too much jiggle action for me - the stretch lace on this bra is the only thing that comfortably accommodates my PMS breast swelling every 1/5 weeks, but really it's less stable than I'd like for everyday wear (I don't particularly enjoy feeling my breasts jiggle around with every step when I walk, or having others see that). Most of the time it's not that big of a deal. I am glad I purchased.

Vertical side panel is too tight, so creates vertical indent half way between arm and apex. Top lace is very stretchy & comfortable. would be good choice for full on top shape. Center gore is quite high, if you don't like that, you won't like this!

I've been wanting to try Jasmine for a long time now, and finally I took the plunge to try it out (in leopard print, no less!).

Band stretches to 30", but it feels snug enough to me (28" underbust) that I can wear it on the loosest hook. Straps are fully adjustable. It is a 4-part cup with stretch lace on top. I find this feature is good to accommodate swelling during your PMS. The shape is pointy-perky, which I like just as much as the round shape Cleo bras give. The cup feels deep at the apex. I feel supported, and it is comfortable to me.

This bra is too big. I have the Andorra, which can cause a tiny quad boob, so I sized up in this one not realizing that I didn't need to do that because this bra has a lot more projection. I don't have the underarm chaffing I do have sometimes in the andorra, but I don't know if that is because there is no lace or what.

The pink color reminds me a little of an 80's bathroom tile, but I do like the pattern on it.

that is the most amazing bra I've ever owned (you can guess that from that fact that it's the first time I'm actually writing a review).

it perfectly hugs my full-on-top breasts and gives a very natural rounded shape. while I have some minor fit issues - the gore is a tad too high and the lace means that the bra does not give the best rope-skipping support - this is, along with the cleo marcie, my best fitting and, moreover, most comfy bra.

as for sizing, i found the jasmine quite true to size, but I guess I could go with a 28G (and would do so if possible), as I am already on the second hook.

the design (in champagne pink) is really cute and decent at the same time. that said, I would love to more designs (and size variety) in the upcoming seasons!
