Great fit. Gives a subtle retro/pointed look.

I tried the 34F to see if it would alleviate some of the fit issues of the 32FF. Unfortunately, sister sizing up didn't fix the problems I was having.

Similarly to the 32FF, the 34F looks like it fits and gives my breasts a nice, natural shape. However, it just isn't comfortable. The wires extend too far back and the straps are set too wide for me which combines to cause the cup/strap to cut into my armpit. Additionally, the straps themselves are uncomfortable. Something about the material makes it feel like it is cutting into my shoulder even though they are not too tight.

As with the ... 32FF, I do like the cups. There is good projection at the wire and it creates a good shape. The stretch lace sits nicely on my breast tissue while allowing for some size variation between breasts and days. The only problem is with the wires - they dig in a bit at the gore and under my arms.

Overall, I'm disappointed that this bra doesn't seem to work for me. I want it to, but it just isn't comfortable enough for me to keep.

Way too much forward projection, gave me an odd torpedo shape when I looked down. Think it would look odd under clothing. The lace squeezed my upper breast too much - I cannot wear this for more than a few hours until I'm anxious to take it off! Band was snug and felt supportive; I could have probably used a larger cup size and still filled it out. Scratchy. Didn't pass the husband approval. lol.

Get smaller band size since it fits on tightest hook when new; get narrower wire if possible; gives more projected shape than Hepburn full-cup; less support; delicate lace may not withstand multiple washes

I wanted this bra to fit. It was one of my first attempts at bra-buying and the ivory floral pattern with contrasting lace was so very pretty. Unfortunately my shallow breasts were uncooperative. I haven't enough upper volume to fill out the top of the cup and, while the lace is somewhat forgiving, I end up with a very pointy Fifties shape I'm not fond of.

The wires in the Panache Jasmine in 34F are too wide for me and they come up too high in the front. Additionally, I can't quite fill the top.

The Panache Jasmine in 34F is so comfortable. The only issue for me is gaping at the top. The lace doesn't lay flat and the wrinkles look silly under clothing. Now that I'm being picky, I would like to receive a little more lift from the bra.

I really wanted to love this bra, so much that I fooled myself into thinking it worked for me when it didn't.

I love the subtle bird/plant print and the soft stretchy lace in the upper section. I fill both the lower section and the upper section well, with no digging in along the seam between them. The profile it gives me is mostly fine.

However, the seam between the side support section and the rest of the cup does dig into my soft breasts, distorting the shape slightly (and I feel like it can't be good for my breasts, though it doesn't actually hurt). The underwire comes up too high under my arm and in the centre. And the bra moves about during the day and is uncomfortable after a few hours' wear. Some of these problems might be solved with a smaller band but I don't think they all would.

I've had the bra for a few months and worn it a few times, but I am now going to pass it on.
