Really beautiful bra, but I think I ordered the wrong size and the shape doesn't match my body.

Pros:
— soft fabric, and lace on the top
— nice feeling of being "lifted", beautiful shape
Cons:
— wires are a little too wide for me and don't stay in my inframammary fold, so the bra hurts after a few hours
— the part of the straps around the armpit rub a bitTeal botanical colorway

First day I took it to Pilates class because I felt confortable enough to do so and it held in place. Was a great relief to remove at the end of the day, thoughUpdated on Oct 19, 2022 Flag this

I was kind of surprised by how not bad this is? I always thought Jasmine was for FOT shapes, but I guess it almost works because I'm even. It would definitely fit and look better if I had a little more upper fullness. If this were available in 28E, I'd try it, but I think 28F Panache Envy suits me more.

Technically fits. Doesn't Hurt! But not sure it helps, either:
This feels like I'm in opposite-land. It's not shallow-wide like I've found the Freya Fancies line but yeah. There's a similar lack of space here just as there was with that style.
Jasmine almost works as kind of a minimizer. I could hide all the boob with this one by how well it squishes down all projection, ... except the delicate upper band which almost magnifies jiggle from all my breast being mercilessly shoved UP UP AND AWAY!!! where there is no stability. A girls is short, and tired so you can image how much fun the inevitable oozing over, is.
Every other style I've tried has been a volume match in this size, however Jasmine's fit is comparatively small-wide, and appears I ought to have gone up yet ANOTHER cup! It's shape is very uh ... ramped UP vertically... like, to the gods... with minimal immediate projection, especially at the very center of cup where both sides are sewn together. Therefore it fits like a flattening cone on my large rounded short-busted profile. To accommodate any fullness it would need a re-draft with another central piece for lower breast like Ewa M's CHP, or a ton more curve for depth in the very front of the cups. The side support panel in this style is worth fuckall.
Most of the Jasmine's construction choices suggest it should hold in very heavy, compressible, loose tissue, pushing it all backwards into the chest wall (armpits, strap gap?).
The fit and actual shape of the cups appear to be made for fairly small, narrow, moderately lightweight tissue though. I'm pretty small + lightweight +super short breast height/functionally FOB in terms of cup size with extremely dense/heavier tissue, so the band, frame and bottom of cups feel almost supportive. But then the upper cup is really tight & frail letting 'everything hang out' so to speak. There's a LOT of horizontal crumpling from the lack of space in in the lower part of the cups, that Jasmine's very short straps are holding at bay.
Oh yes, the underwires are weirdly wide. Why! How? What.
Ultimately this leads to feeling that Jasmine has such a closed-in and stingy fit right from the wire and around all sides, that I'm not really sure how it earned the reputation for full-on- bottom depth that it has. Maybe a little more apex-only depth than average? Tango in the right size gave me somewhere to BE, Jasmine is just... Pushy for no reason. While the straps, band, and gore are comfortable without modification... I can feel the cups wanting to scoot toward my bellybutton postehaste, which gives me the unsettling sense that I'll need to adjust the EVERYTHING soon...
*Really* soon. Like within 15 seconds, soon. At all times.
Now- it actually doesn't scut off to the hinterlands despite lots of misgivings, most likely because there isn't any more strap to let out so it physically can't abandon post. Perhaps the only thing preventing a nip slip here and there, is an unholy alliance between wires and straps to make up for the lack of good support in the cup.
There's nothing wrong with the materials or construction but it comes off as rote, and missing some key features so Ima rate it MEH:
-Powermesh band is smooth, supportive and sturdy, no digging or itching from elastics or the tags.
-Armscye & wing are decent placement for my high set, supershort, extreme immediately projected, problematic side-full shape.
-Narrower than average gore lays flat. Unfortunately underwires sit over my breasts here so it's not narrow enough when paired with the shallowness in bottom of cup for the EVERY LIFT ON EARTH! patterning built into this style. But compared to a lot of designs there is nicer cup depth at the inner cup for center fullness, which is very appreciated. Considering that I've not much there, it's bothersome to me that this specific area is also Always squashed to hell and then some, so this will be fascinating to experience inner cup depth without an alteration. Less boob pushed out, for the gore to sit on!
-The lace upper band is cheap, flimsy, doesn't stay put, wrinkles up and feels like it will be easily damaged with regular use or by contact with anything on earth, anytime, anywhere. I base this on, that is exactly what happens within a week or so of owning anything that has this style of stretch lace.
-THREE HOOKS. God. Finally. Yes. Watch now that I've praised this 1 complete necessity, they will take the privilege away & replace with some stupid 1 hook strappy wonder.

I have mixed feelings about this bra. Well, it fits. However, it feels more like containing my boobs instead of supporting it. Maybe because half the cup is consists of stretch lace instead of rigid mesh that I'm used to. The material is scratchy and irritates my skin.

I really enjoy the shape the side panels the jasmine gives me. However, even going down a size the underwire on this bra is very uncomfortable. It's poking my underarm and my sternum. I want to like this bra so much, it's just not quite right for me.

Pretty, fits nicely. Little bit of wrinkling at the stretch lace on one side, but fits larger breast perfectly, so I'll take it. Band is supportive. Still getting used to feeling of a well-fitting band. Got this through r/braswap NWT

This bra fit fairly well, but the fabric on the side felt very high to me and made it feel tight to me. The center gore also came up too high for my liking, and there was slight gaping right at the top of the cup where the strap connects. The print is very pretty though and the stretch lace is very forgiving for a variety of breast sizes.

This bra seems to fit pretty well, I just wish the wires weren't so hard and the band wasn't so tight. This seems to be the case with all the Panache bras I've tried. The gore tacks at the top but you can see the cups are too wide for me. It's just to uncomfortable on my ribs.
