    Thank you MelaB :)

    Jasmine is silky soft and the underwires have no squeak. It feels like sheer satin - even softer than my Freya Pixie or Ada. It's also incredibly lightweight, which is wonderful in the hot weather. I think it's a beautiful bra, and it looks nice under the t-shirt I'm wearing. No bulk, or wrinkles, or bulges. To me it appears to be "slimming", (which is another reason I love unlined cups). Sometimes even lightly padded cups are just too much for someone as short as I am (5'2).

    I hope you get your Jasmine soon! Let me know if you like it. :-)
    

  • Nice!! yeah I'm also 5"2 and not a fan of padded cups especially in summer and also cause 32K is enough of my own natural padding for my liking! I will definitely tell you if I like my Jasmine when it arrives!!

    Interesting! I found my Jasmine (the navy colorway) to be unbearably scratchy. It gives a great shape, but I haven't worn it yet because I'm planning on lining the bridge with silk. I wonder what's the difference in fabric between the two colors?

  It looks good on you, but are you wearing it on the tightest hook? It looks like you are from the picture your back... also, in that picture, it almost looks like the band is riding up a bit.

  You might want to try a 28 band, perhaps.

  • Thanks fallenangel21!

    Unfortunately it's not made in 28 so I had to go with 30. I want a lightweight, non-bulky soft bra that has some support. I have a few Freyas, but they are way too short on the sides and the cups are rather narrow for me. I also have a few Tango II Balconettes, and while their underwires are great, the tops of the cups dig in. When Jasmine first came out I thought it looked like it had most of what I wanted (other than a 28 band :(

    The cups do not have an inner sling like the Andorra cups. Instead they have side support from the outside, like a lot of Fantastie bras (i.e. Annabelle). I love the side support better than the slings. I'll have to play around with my Rixie clip and see if the cups still work when the band is tighter. At this point in my "bra journey" I feel like I get either a fitting band or fitting cups and I have to choose one or the other with each bra...

  • is the Jasmine cup fabric itchy and scratchy?

  Wow! That's pretty good for a bra that typically works better on larger non-shallow breasts. It's a bit wrinkly, but it looks supportive and gives a good shape to boot. Is it comfy?

  • Thank you :-)

    I'm relieved, because it is SO comfortable. The underwires aren't hard and squeaky, and the fabric feels like satin. Like the Andorra, the tops of the cup stretch and mold but unlike the Andorra they don't "roll" under the cups.

    I washed Jasmine yesterday and when I put it on this morning there weren't any wrinkles on the fronts of the cups. I think most of the creases in the picture are from traveling from UK to Arizona and being just unpacked. There are still small puckers in the sides of the cups (the "side support" parts) but my breasts push against the cups as they try to fall into my armpits; so the fabric is straining against tissue. I'm wearing a scoop-neck tank top and the cups look very nice beneath the fabric.

    I think this bra is lovely, but the parts I'm most pleased with are the wires, which encircle all my tissue and the sides, which are tall enough to prevent much upper armpit migration.

    Now that I know about bra cups I'm going to concentrate on finding cups for shallow small breasts! However, I would definitely repurchase this bra for the comfort and uplift without looking like a "shelf".

  • I'm really envious - this looks great on you! I received my Jasmine today (30DD) and whilst it's a pretty perfect fit, it makes my boobs look pointy and a bit east-west bizarrely. I also didn't have any success with the Andorra (too pointy), so it must be my shape. But I was really encouraged by how good this looked on you!
