Wow, this was one of the first times in a long time that I tried on a bra, and I swear I heard angels singing. 😂

The pictures are so bad, and I hate the color I chose to try on, but I swear by looks in person, this bra fit amazing! Like a glove.

I was surprised to find the gore was tall but narrow, so it tacked perfectly. The cups are deep enough at the bottom and apex. The stretch lace delicately lays across the top without wrinkles or quadding. The only thing I could find wrong is that I had some strap gap. I’m not sure if that’s indicative of an incorrect fit or if it’s just because I have shorter roots.

This was only the 2nd time I’ve tried on Jasmine. The 1st time it was comically small (I tried a 34GG or something when I was a 34HH). This was only a try-on, but I’m leaning towards getting one of these for sure!

This fits perfectly in the cup, but I need to hook it on the tightest hooks, so am exchanging it for a 30HH.

Fits and looks great. I can wear it for 1/2 to a whole day because of the tightness of the band.

I tried this bra in 32H and 34GG. I found the 32H too tight in the band, the 34GG is a perfect fit in the band and cups. For comparison my size in the Marcie and Envy bras is 32H.

My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.

The good: This bra fits pretty well. I don't usually buy panache because of how wide the cups normally are, but this one seems narrower. The cup seperation is perfect. I also love the fabric print. I'm also pleasantly suprised about the lack of nipple showing for such thin, unlined fabric.

The bad: Why can't they make their straps like a half inch longer??? It is digging into my shoulders. This is a deal beaker for me - nothing worse than a tension headche from straps. Also, where the lace meets the fabric, my boob bubbles out a bit because the lace is very stretchy and ... I have soft tissue. I don't think it's too apparent under a shirt, though. The outer wires may be digging into my rib at the top. It's kind of annoying, but they may be able to be bent.

I don't know the difference between this bra and the Cleo Marcie (I ordered it the other day). I'm sure there are minor differences, but it seems like almost the same bra. I returned that one because of the too short straps. The fabric seemed a little firmer on the Marcie maybe? I think I prefer the Marcie over this one for this reason. I may re-buy that one and try to alter the straps if I get desperate enough.

EDIT: I've gained 10-ish lbs but the 32H still fits. It remains, however, a misery to wear.

After believing that the 30HH would eventually stretch if I wore it with an extender long enough, I gave in and bought the 32H, which worked better.

This generally fits well, and even better after having gained a little in the cup. The shaping is nice, and it looks good under shirts.

I do have a couple of fit problems, however -

-the straps are widely set, causing rubbing at the armpits.
-I'm bruised between the center of my breasts where the underwire hits.
-the underwires at the sides are angled just right to poke the hell out of me.

As for the gore, I have a tiny bit of connected breast tissue between my breasts. If the underwire is too high, it digs in. In a GG/H cup non plunge, they ALL dig in.

Cups are way too big for me and make my breasts look awkward. Will try another size.

It fits fine but I've only worn it a few times. It's a pretty color combo, not too bright or busy, particularly with the navy body. The wires are remarkably narrow for Panache, it's well made and the upper lace section is very forgiving. Although it stretches quite a bit (I was surprised when I measured it) it feels quite firm on. The 4-part cup with the strap attached on the rearmost part provides good support. The seams lie nice & flat under clothing.
I think my objection to this bra is that the cups are pretty tall on the outside - but I'm not. It's a little full-coverage for my taste.
I also have a preference for a lined/lightly padded cup because I feel I get better lift/shape in those; that's probably more to do with my boobs than the actual bra, though.
Anyway it's a great bra for the right "girls" so it's going back into the universe.

Love love love. I fall between a 34 and a 32 so I own both a 34gg and a 32h , but I wear the 32 with an extender because it's just a smidge tight for me. Did I mention I love the jasmine? I am fob/ even , projected, and close set . This bra works great for my shape, I like the light padding on the straps as well. It give me good support, a nice rounded shape and is super comfortable, yayy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is a really pretty bra -- I really like the color and the lace. It's well-constructed, and the cups are suited to my full on bottom shape. It provides good lift and looks very good under clothes. It's slightly pointy, but I'd much prefer that to an upside down 7 or square shape. There is a perfect amount of bottom projection, and the bottom panel is large enough to be good for my shape. There's no spillage, and the gore tacks comfortably. The cups are just the right width and depth, I think.

The band is just barely tight enough -- I need to fasten it on the ... last row of hooks in order for it to work. And the straps have some cushy material attached to the shoulder areas, which means they don't adjust all the away. In fact, they don't go quite tight enough for me to feel comfortable. I have learned that just-slightly-loose straps is a major cause of shoulder pain for me, and I may need to take them up a little. I'm also not thrilled about the band, but I've read that this band is looser than other Panaches, so I'm willing to take it in at some point if necessary.

Now about the stretchy upper panels: I need more... Securing up there. The stretchiness gives me a nice, smooth line across my breast tissue. There's no gaping and no spilling. But the stretchiness does make me wonder if I'm missing a fit issue that would be clearer if the lace were less forgiving. Also, even though I'm tightly hooked in and the lift and shape are good, the loose upper panels make me feel like I'm flopping east and west a bit. Now, I'm not STAYING there. The bra does keep me in a good position, but I just flop back and forth a little. Not up and down, just side to side -- this is a new sensation for me. I wish the upper lace were not QUITE so freewheeling because I think that would make me feel more supported and comfortable -- so I'm thinking maybe the Floris is indeed the right place to go from here.

Ultimately, the bra looks good. I need to wear it for a longer time to be sure about comfort. The comfort level and fit are clearly not perfect, but they are not bad either. I wish I had had the option of trying on a 30HH because I think it would be helpful to me to compare the two and see if one works better than the other. This one DOES fit much better than the 34GG that I was able to try on in stores. All in all, this is not a total loss. It's 100 times better than the sizes and fits I was looking at 6 months ago. I'm keeping the bra because I know I can use it. Taking in the band and taking up the straps shouldn't be too difficult when it comes to that. I was really excited about this bra, but when it comes down to it... That Curvy Kate Gia that gives me a square and upside down 7 is more comfortable. Gah.
