Used to fit

Finally a bra that fits!
This is the best bra I have found in terms of fit. It's still new and needs to be 'worn in' but I'm very hopeful at this point. Initially the band was a little tight but after a few days, it's starting to feel perfect.
Highly recommend this bra.

Wow, a Jasmine that doesn't hurt. Neat! I really love this colourway. It's probably my favourite Jasmine yet, though I'd love to get my mitts on a pink lace floral from years ago.

  I only saw the pink floral/paisley online (eBay) a couple of times and never past a D (I think) cup either. :/ If I'd somehow managed to come across it in my size it would be pointless to buy because then I wouldn't be able to find the matching knickers.
  
  (dramatic sigh/sob) Why can't eBay sellers just let me have what I want! I feel like they're holding me back from true lingerie greatness! ;)

Hasn't set fit

I love this bra so much I have two in the same size and color way. However I could use a larger cup, not sure how much bigger. I like it on the tightest setting from the start, but a firmer band would take the pressure of my shoulders. The band alone on the 34K worked upsidown and backwards. When not sized out of the unaltered jasmine it's really comfy and relatively pretty, I just wish wires weren't as high as it tends to show, especially when it fits. One of the two same bras I own in this size has a larger band but cups are same and it puts all the pressure on my shoulders, the other one puts less. I figure this has a lot to do with needing a bigger cup, and smaller band. This bra used to fit perfectly in the 34K, when it fits its comfy. I've owned 5 jasmines I believe so far. I hope they extend their sizes.

30F

Didn't fit

Band is great on loosest hooks, the colorway (black ricamo) is fantastic, and post-alteration this is my comfiest bra yet.

I got the 30F knowing I needed more cup depth than my Just Peachy has, but not how much... F is a little too much right now (though I'm currently weaning my toddler, so that changes day-to-day) and an E probably would have been better.

However, I don't know that the wires on the E would be wide enough and I loooove this bra so I opted to alter the cups. I took them in a little and I think the size is now somewhere between an E ... and an F, but I didn't actually remove any material so I can reverse the alteration if my size changes when the Booger's finally finished nursing. All photos were taken post-alteration (and with one boob half-empty).

Update: I felt like my alteration was smashing my boobs too much so I pulled the stitches out, and now the gore digs in rather painfully. I think this one is too projected and a little too narrow for me... it's so pretty and I love the fabric so much though. I may try doing a different alteration soon the see if I can fix it for good.

Update 2: Bent the wires wider to match the Comexim halfcup I have (which fits so perfectly) and did a new alteration on the cup that removes about half the depth I removed last time. New cup width/ depth measurements are 5.6"/ 8.7", and this bra fits *really* well now! I get a little bit of wrinkling at the wire on the bottom of the cup sometimes, but it isn't enough to be noticeable and the bra is really comfy again. ...I need to take new pictures, because the fit looks much better now too.

Didn't fit

I just got this bra in the mail today and it is the best fitting bra I have ever owned. With that being said, it is far from perfect but that is mainly because I have been wearing the wrong size bras most of my adult life and now have ginormous omega breasts. On top of that, my left boob is almost 2 whole cups bigger than the right.

The 34K - Panache » Jasmine (6951) gave me a lift that I never thought was possible for my extremely heavy breasts. The wires creaked under the weight for the first hour or so but now have ... quieted down. The wires are much narrower than my Elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support (8030) and Goddess Keira Banded Underwire (6090) and they actually sit on the outer edge of my rib cage instead of my back. It is still a smidgen too tall, poking under my right arm while the wire holding in my larger left boob feels like it is barely there.

Before trying this bra, I stayed away from anything that was not full cup because I thought being a bigger size meant that I needed fuller coverage to avoid spillage which occurred anyway. Even tho I am jiggling and wiggling more in this cup style, my girls stay put even when I bend over. I actually feel more secure in the Jasmine than I ever did in my Elomi or Goddess.

The cup separation is the best I have ever had in a bra but its a wee bit too wide, giving my close set boobs that east/west look. The cups are very deep, deeper than I thought was possible (thanks in part to the stretch lace). After doing my measurements properly with the help of this site, I found out that I have full on top boobs but didn't realize how full until I got this bra, I have 2 inches of empty fabric at the bottom of the cups! O.O

Jasmine's gore has gotten the closest to my sternum than any other bra I have ever owned, but it is still about an inch from tacking. My other bras, the gore would float on TOP of my breasts, not even close to getting in between them.

The band sits flat and stays put on my 33.5 inch ribcage at the loosest hook and is comfortably snug. I feel extremely supported from down there, which is a wonderful change from bras that use to float and shift around on the bottom of my boobs.

The straps are perfect, they are padded and very comfortable. They are wider set than I am use to but feel great! And for the first time in my life, I didn't need to over tighten the straps to feel secure or get the lift I wanted, in fact, I am wearing the straps at the loosest setting!

As I said in the beginning, the Panache Jasmine (6951) is the best fitting bra I have ever owned, and has really helped me narrow down what I need to look for in a bra to get closer to the perfect fit!

- This is my fave bra (i'm full on bottom). I'm hoping that the more people like it, the more colors we can get! yay for finding your best bra ever! I hear you on the crazy big boobs! hopefully they will also start making bigger cups too!
- Yay! I LOVE the shape it gives me, very natural, rounded and uplifted. I look and feel 10 years younger!
  
  I have seen a few colors so far but are mostly vendor exclusives. I got mine at Bare Necessities and they have 3 other color ways available at different sizes.
  
  This bra seems like a good in between. And the lace does a good job of containing my full on top boobs. but if I could fill the empty fabric on the bottom, I believe most of my other fit issues would be resolved.
  
  I am gonna try an Ewa Michalak bra next but I am not sure which style, as I am pretty sure I would not be able to afford the return as I am in New York.
  
  Any suggestions?
- aphrospice The BM cut is basically the same sort of thing as the Jasmine; a rounded balcony style with stretch lace on top. So, if you like the Jasmine, that could be a good choice.
  
  Other than that, the other options in your size range are the S (padded medium cut balcony), SM (unpadded medium cut balcony) and PL (lower cut plunge). You need to have the right kind of boobs and frame for PL to work on you in this size range and a lot of people don't, but S and SM are pretty good.
  
  Resale value on EM is reasonable, they tend to go for $40 US new with tags, so even if the size isn't right, it won't be a total loss for you.
- Ereshiy So funny you should mention the BM, I was just going through EM's blog and saw the Bm Gwiezdny Pył and promptly added it to my wishlist. They dont have it in my suggested size so I'll have to custom order it. It does look very promising! Now I just need to get the funds for this beauty!
  
  I am scared of plunges, my boobs are pretty massive and have a life of thier own. But then again, the Jasmine contains them quiet well so.. I will keep an eye out for something here in my size to grab.
  
  Thank you for the resale numbers, I will mos def make the investment. The Jasmine really helped me figure out that from what I read about EM bras that they are will probably be the closest I will come to the perfect fit.

This is the ideal bra for women in a bigger cup size who'd like to have a round shape without east-west-looking boobs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> The elastic material on the top of the cup fits for both, for full on top or bottom heavy breasts. I especially liked the extremly small center gore, it fits between breasts, that are not very separated, which is a common problem for women within my size range.

30K

Didn't fit

The red/floral colourway is gorgeous, but it just doesn't fit. I'm about a 30KK in most bras now (30K Ariza slightly too small, 30K Brav balconettes slightly too small), and this seems to be too big. There's excess material at the top of the cup (by the strap), and I have wrinkling at the bottom/side (though I think this is more due to the shape/width of the wires).

The band and cups both run big, so I would say the 30K fits more like a "standard" 32K (possibly KK). The wires are slightly wider than the Ariza's, so they're relatively narrow/mid-range, though they are lower at the side. I ... found the straps pretty wide-set and the side of the cup quite tall, which meant the cup cuts into my arms if I try to tighten the straps. On that note, the straps are only partially adjustable - the most you can shorten them by is about two inches, nowhere near enough for me, so they're no good for anyone who needs short straps.

I'm planning on exchanging for a 30JJ (possibly 30J), so we'll see if that works any better. A 28K would be preferable, but no 28s from Bravissimo. It did seem to give a pretty good shape, so hopefully I can find a half-decent size.

The wires are too high for me (they stab me when I sit down) and too wide. At the same time, I could use more depth. Panache has supposedly made the wires of the bra come up lower than their older styles. They don't stab me when I'm standing up like my 34JJ Sienna did, but they're still uncomfortable and leave me with marks.

My larger breast tends to shift around a lot in the cup during the day. I have to readjust often to avoid quadboob on the side of the larger boob. The stretch lace does a pretty good job at accommodating the difference in size. In ... bras of this size without such an open top section, I get crazy amounts of quadboob.

The bra is rather low coverage on me, but I can't size up (even if I could, the wires would be even higher/wider... gah). Panache just isn't the brand for me.

Technically you can only partially adjust the straps, but I find that I can get it to adjust the whole way if I give it a good tug.

I'm not normally one to go crazy over colours and patterns (black is where it is at), but I must say that the bird pattern is rather cute (and yet the bra is still mostly black, yay).
