alisa Ah, no, haven't read your comments over there, been kind of out of the loop in all of August here! It was the people at Bravissimo who led me to believe Dotty Spot = Jasmine
Would ya'll say it was more accurate to get the Andorra size (ish - I get that the colorways might vary) aka. I would probably get it in 34JJ then, or more like Dotty spot, so 32JJ?
I've just been to TWO bravissimos on my recent trip to Scotland! (hence my inactivity) and tried to get my hands on Jasmine, since I've heard it recommended so much, but no luck, all sold out
But, to determine my size, they recommended I tried their Dotty Spot: It fit me in 32JJ, so I bought ... it. I also bought Andorra in 34J, even though slightly too small, but with the stretchy lace, it's not much of a problem.
Now, after coming home, I've discovered I hate the shape the Dotty Spot gives me... (And my super efficient roommate who helped me unpack has snipped off the tags) And I'm really surprised to hear that it should be similar to Jasmine? Have I missed something? I thought Andorra and Jasmine were extremely alike. The Dotty Spot shape is SO different from Andorra (Andorra is not too projected on me, but very nice and round - Dotty spot was difficult for me to fill at the apex because it's so projected-ly pointy!)

I think you read my comment on Branarchists latest Jasmine adventure? I did not mean to spread the information that the Jasmine is like the Dotty Spot! The red floral Bravissimo exclusive Jasmine did gave a pointy shape on Branarchist compared to the pink Jasmine that gave her a round shape. So I was saying that "they might confused Jasmine pattern with Dotty Spot pattern since I never saw Jasmine looking that pointy on anyone :D " It was only joking. On me the red Jasmine in a 32K gives a round shape.
There are differences in the cut, so that might make each colorway fit a bit differently.
Oops irony on the internet can easily get lost in translation :D I'd say old Jasmine is more pointy and new is less pointy. I think new Jasmine should fit you well :) Better than Andorra.
Jasmine has room in the middle while Andorra hasn't. I love my Jasmine :) The new cut is the pink champagne :)

Not too long ago multiple bloggers also talked about this, I believe this was also the time where Bravissimo made their Alana in Mocha a basic color, rather than a fashion color. Since then, I've really had my attention on it, and it irks me a lot too - like, it's not even a lot to change to call them 'beige' (or 'sand' and all that..). If you search by color, they are called "natural/skin tones" (in plural!), but there is only one color represented (except maybe Andorra in Mink? But it also comes in a light-beige, so it's difficult to know which one they meant).
Wow, we have anniversaries so close! Mine is for the 5th of July :)
Some time ago, I said I was going to Bravissimo in Scotland with a friend: Well, my friend who was in the army at that point, discovered a back problem, and thus had to quit, so it wasn't the best time to be planning vacations.. But, now the plan is back on track! (this time with booked tickets and all!) ... For August! We will go to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, both cities with Bravissimo/Pepperberry, so I look forward to it! I've never been fitted (I've gone to fittings, but even when they claimed I was several sizes different from what I was, they still didn't stock that) (I had one fitting when I was 17 though, where they probably correctly estimated my size, and put me in the closest they had) so I am almost giddy with the though of being in the hands of people who know what they are doing.
My friend is a "32C", so even though she looked dissappointed when I said it was D+ (as she really loves shopping bras, despite being quite happy braless too), I'm sure she will find 28DD/E and 30D/DD's as quite nice fits.
