Cute, pretty good construction fabric is not as nice as some other panache bras. A pretty close fit that hurts in weird ways on me but at the same time weirdly almost fits well. Underwire is definitely being pushed too low bbut it doesn't hurt. The straps have plastic bits to hook into a racerback or whatever and those dug in and hurt really bad at first. And it's starting to hurt bad under the armpits but the wires aren't going up too high, its like they dig in because they haven't filled out the fabric wire tube on the side, this is my guess because most bras ... I try on have a higher wing height and don't cause the same issues, typically its wing heights under 5 inches that tend to hurt me like this one does. I had started to suspect that bras what have top stretch lace but no elastic strip were never going to work on me because the few of those I've tried on my breasts try to escape out the middle and become extremely jiggly but with this one they don't! So I'm not sure why maybe because this bra has a higher cup height. Overall this bra seems to be actually providing some lift to my breasts and I don't feel like one of those wires with little clips they use at the dentist to put the paper on your chest would help provide support (I don't feel like i need an extra strap to go around my neck to pull my boobs up off my stomach if that makes sense). I've been sitting down for a while now and the underwires still don't hurt and typically when trying on a new bra that feels fine at first this will cause some discomfort or pain pretty quickly. I am wearing a bra extender for this to fit!

This bra has the least amount of wrinkling I’ve had yet in the bottom of the cup. It actually stays in my IMF after wearing it for a while, unlike all the other styles I’ve tried. Great for immediate projection! The lace is very soft and I would love to wear a bra with this material.

Unfortunately, the wires are too high all around, nearly in my armpits on my side and resting on tissue for my larger breast in the center. The straps are alsoi a bit too wide for my comfort (nearly to my shoulders).

While I found and purchased this bra during a professional fitting in a specialty bra shop, I decided it did not fit me well. I like the dark blue and black lace pattern on the smooth cups, the black mesh on the wings/back, and the stretchy lace at top of cups.

Jazzy J! I held off trying the Jasmine, I think because of it's reputation for a pointy shape. Then I tried one (34JJ - Panache » Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951), and it was, in fact, pointy, and I didn't care for it. But I thought I'd see if a smaller cup size would help pull in the points. And it did! I quite like this 36HH in black.

This bra has a four-part construction with vertical seams and a side panel. The top panel is stretch lace with no elastic strip along the edging. The bottom panels are a single-layered mesh - quite light, but not ... unsturdy. I find when I wear it, the cups "disappear" and I just feel the wires and band.

Speaking of the band, I had a blowout the other day when I tried it. Apparently my breasts are rather low-set with my IMF not far above the bottom rib in front. The Jasmine's band rode down till it was resting on the ridge of the last rib, and when I yawned and stretched my ribcage contracted and whoops! The band slipped right over the edge onto my stomach. I took some pictures of the effect, which felt worse under the shirt than it looked outside of it. Anyway, I have ordered a 34J sister size to see if it will still work with the tighter band.

The wires on this one are just a bit too long for me and the wings too high, so it can get uncomfortable under the armpits at times. No surprise for me with Panache.

Overall I think this one fits! If I don't keep it, it will only be for budgetary reasons and that I think it will be easier for me to find a Jasmine later on than a Thea, which I am also happy with. 34J - Panache » Thea Balconnet Bra (9261)

So, I own 36HH - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) already, so I was expecting a very similar fit out of Jasmine, being as they're basically the same cut. I was not wrong. I feel like in some ways Jasmine actually wins out for me, though.

The band was very tight - I actually had trouble fastening it. I had the same problem with Envy, though I think in both cases it's because of the colorway; my Envy is Cassis (a deep purple) and my Jasmine is Black Ricamo, and darker dyes, especially blacks, can cause a fabric to not stretch so much. Once it's ... fastened, though, it feels fine. Snug, but not so much that it feels like it's cutting into me.

Wires are a bit wide, though a little bit narrower than Envy, so that's nice. The sides feel like they don't come up too high, and the gore is both perfect in height and width.

Jasmine feels like it has a lot more immediate projection to it than Envy does, and I get a different shape out of it. Envy gives me an uplifted but more rounded shape; Jasmine gives me a VERY uplifted shape; from the front it's very round, while from the sides a fair bit pointier. Which, frankly, I like.

I also like the fabric it's made of. The floral print is nice (though I'm getting a bit bored of floral prints), and the material is nicely soft. I must say, much as I love the lace on Envy, it can rub against my skin and get uncomfortable after a while.

Good bra.
