Technically fits. Doesn't Hurt! But not sure it helps, either:

This feels like I'm in opposite-land. It's not shallow-wide like I've found the Freya Fancies line but yeah. There's a similar lack of space here just as there was with that style.
Jasmine almost works as kind of a minimizer. I could hide all the boob with this one by how well it squishes down all projection, except the delicate upper band which almost magnifies jiggle from all my breast being mercilessly shoved UP UP AND AWAY!!! where there is no stability. A girls is short, and tired so you can image how much fun the inevitable oozing over, is.

Every other style I've tried has been a volume match in this size, however Jasmine's fit is comparatively small-wide, and appears I ought to have gone up yet ANOTHER cup! It's shape is very uh ... ramped UP vertically... like, to the gods... with minimal immediate projection, especially at the very center of cup where both sides are sewn together. Therefore it fits like a flattening cone on my large rounded short-busted profile. To accommodate any fullness it would need a re-draft with another central piece for lower breast like Ewa M's CHP, or a ton more curve for depth in the very front of the cups. The side support panel in this style is worth fuckall.

Most of the Jasmine's construction choices suggest it should hold in very heavy, compressible, loose tissue, pushing it all backwards into the chest wall (armpits, strap gap?).
The fit and actual shape of the cups appear to be made for fairly small, narrow, moderately lightweight tissue though. I'm pretty small + lightweight +super short breast height/functionally FOB in terms of cup size with extremely dense/heavier tissue, so the band, frame and bottom of cups feel almost supportive. But then the upper cup is really tight & frail letting 'everything hang out' so to speak. There's a LOT of horizontal crumpling from the lack of space in in the lower part of the cups, that Jasmine's very short straps are holding at bay.
Oh yes, the underwires are weirdly wide. Why! How? What.

Ultimately this leads to feeling that Jasmine has such a closed-in and stingy fit right from the wire and around all sides, that I'm not really sure how it earned the reputation for full-on- bottom depth that it has. Maybe a little more apex-only depth than average? Tango in the right size gave me somewhere to BE, Jasmine is just... Pushy for no reason. While the straps, band, and gore are comfortable without modification... I can feel the cups wanting to scoot toward my bellybutton postehaste, which gives me the unsettling sense that I'll need to adjust the EVERYTHING soon...

*Really* soon. Like within 15 seconds, soon. At all times.

Now- it actually doesn't scut off to the hinterlands despite lots of misgivings, most likely because there isn't any more strap to let out so it physically can't abandon post. Perhaps the only thing preventing a nip slip here and there, is an unholy alliance between wires and straps to make up for the lack of good support in the cup.


There's nothing wrong with the materials or construction but it comes off as rote, and missing some key features so Ima rate it MEH:
-Powermesh band is smooth, supportive and sturdy, no digging or itching from elastics or the tags.
-Armscye & wing are decent placement for my high set, supershort, extreme immediately projected, problematic side-full shape.
-Narrower than average gore lays flat. Unfortunately underwires sit over my breasts here so it's not narrow enough when paired with the shallowness in bottom of cup for the EVERY LIFT ON EARTH! patterning built into this style. But compared to a lot of designs there is nicer cup depth at the inner cup for center fullness, which is very appreciated. Considering that I've not much there, it's bothersome to me that this specific area is also Always squashed to hell and then some, so this will be fascinating to experience inner cup depth without an alteration. Less boob pushed out, for the gore to sit on!
-The lace upper band is cheap, flimsy, doesn't stay put, wrinkles up and feels like it will be easily damaged with regular use or by contact with anything on earth, anytime, anywhere. I base this on, that is exactly what happens within a week or so of owning anything that has this style of stretch lace.
-THREE HOOKS. God. Finally. Yes. Watch now that I've praised this 1 complete necessity, they will take the privilege away & replace with some stupid 1 hook strappy wonder.
