This is one of my favorite bras despite the mildly pointy profile. It is the first bra I have owned where the band was comfortably firm, the cups were sufficiently big, and the wires were actually wide enough for my quite broad root.
It gives excellent lift with an angled lower panel but still has sufficient lower volume for my mostly even shape, and the top panel is stretch lace so ladies of all levels of upper fullness can makes this bra work without quad boobing. There's more projection in this bra than with other Panache Superbra models, such as the Panache Sienna (4471) , and ... the gore is pretty slim.
The cup looks fairly opaque on bottom when worn, but this is an unlined and unpadded bra which is actually sheer when held up to the light. It is very thin and breathable, yet I have no problems with nipple show through as my nipples tend to fall right on the seam.
I have found that the underwires are a little more narrow for me than they originally felt - perhaps it's just the angle of them on the outside - but I only notice when I am getting out of the car. The way that I tend to lean on the side of the driver's side seat when I swing my legs around has been pinching some of my tissue between the car seat and the back of the underwire. It's super weird.
The gore is also quite tall and tacks firmly. I have a layer of fat on my sternum because I'm a bigger lady, so over the course of a day the gore can actually push my little bit of chest chub up above where the gore rests and stab up into it. Usually I just give it an upward tug to resettle things, but I intend to bend the underwires out slightly as a long term solution.
This bra fits very similarly to the Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675).

Interesting, I'm surprised you find it similar to the Andorra! Myself, I think Andorra had a lot less depth and lower files in it, and I'd need at least one cupsize bigger in it than Jasmine. ( Also hi! Nice to see someone around in similar sizes. :) )
