The measurements of these 2 bras are very similar, but the fit, lift, and shape are vastly different. The Jasmine supports MUCH better. The Belle has a non-lifted, east-west, unsupportive feel (as best I can remember, I only tried it on once before saying, nay, nay, NAY!). The Jasmine gives great lift, forward projection, and the stretchy lace at the top of the cup makes the cup volume adjustable to some extent for different sized breasts, size fluctuations, etc. The wing height on the Jasmine is a bit of a problem for me, as the wires almost poke, but not quite. They are a bit further back than I like them as well, but the strap placement prevents the breasts from filling this cup area under the arms, so the breasts are held in front instead of filling the cup space under my arms. The Jasmine band is firmer, not as stretchy as the Belle.
I have soft, heavy breasts and the Belle is unwearable for me. The Jasmine has been wearable after bending the wires slightly, tightening the straps to just before the wires poke under the arms, and tacking the elastic on the front of the band up because otherwise it curls under and digs in.
