    I bought this bra knowing that the band would be too tight. I'm hoping it'll stretch out; this review is on how the bra fits with an extender.

    First of all, I didn't believe a bra could actually affect posture until I tried on this one! I do find myself standing straighter with my shoulders more naturally back in this bra.

    What I love about it is the stretch lace. For once when I bend over without a very full coverage bra, I don't get quadboob. My breasts are very soft, which makes it easy to just flow out of the tops and middle of cups and make unsightly bulges ... under clothing. At first I thought I was doing that in this bra... turns out that although when I bend over my breasts do start flowing out the top, the bra doesn't cut in and cause quadboob! It just stretches and keeps a smooth line.

    It also does what a forward projecting bra should do; gather in tissue from the sides and shove it forward. Because of this it's a pointy shape, but it lifts nicely and narrows my front profile. (A little too much for my body, but that's because right where the bra goes is the narrowest part of my torso width-wise. This bra really shows that off and makes me look unbalanced with my wider bottom half.)

    What I also love about the bra is the immediate cup depth in the middle. That's exactly what I need for my lack of separation. It lets my boobs go straight out forward instead of pushing them outwards like other bras do when there isn't enough depth around the center gore.

    There are two major problems with this bra; the straps slip off my shoulders because they are too wide, and if I lean the wires poke at the back of my armpits because they're too wide too. This explains why although I have a perimeter of 14.5, a cup with a depth of over 15 has no gapping.

    The fabric of the cups buckles/wrinkles a bit underneath, but I think that's due to the straps not being supportive enough to keep the cups where they should be because they're too wide.

    Note: I measured cup depth with the bra cups stretched down over my knee. I did this 3+ times with each cup, and 15.25 is the average.

    Yet again, I scrounged around and found a Panache bra in a discontinued colorway that I loved back when I was smaller. I previously managed to snag a Panache Jasmine in Paisley Print in a 32J, but that colorway ran a smidget small--see 32J - Panache » Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) for that review. I stumbled across my size in the Dogtooth colorway, and quickly snapped it up.
    This colorway is more comfortable than the Paisley Print, so I suspect that whatever fabric was used for Paisley Print is just a little less stretchy than all the other colorways I've tried.

    Obligatory Panache bra preamble: "When I was smaller, I loved this bra...and now, I bought an exact replacement in my current size."
    I'm actually not as enthused with this particular bra now. It technically fits, but I feel almost like my breasts are being trussed up like a turkey. The Paisley Print colorway ran smaller than the other colorways I owned in a 32H, so maybe if I managed to get the Dogtooth colorway, it would be a little more comfortable? I haven't been too excited about the more recently released options, so I'm not likely to buy more Jasmines in the future.

    • Trussed up like a turkey!! I loved the way jasmine held me up and out - but the 32J was the last size that worked for me. But i did sometimes say panache was like wearing hardware strapped to your chest

    Just purchased this bra last night. It wasn't a risk - I know this bra works for me. The print is very cute. The Jasmine provides a very high lift and a ton of forward projection. I really love this bra.

    I am not experiencing any of the 'strange tissue folding' that I got in my other 32J jasmine in the black/grey leopard print. Link to that review: http://bra.pe/XNck/ I have lost about 15 pounds since I got that bra. I have not experienced any fit quibbles with any 32J bras that I own during my weight loss, especially not in the jasmine, due to the fabulous stretch lace. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    Wow, a Jasmine that doesn't hurt. Neat! I really love this colourway. It's probably my favourite Jasmine yet, though I'd love to get my mitts on a pink lace floral from years ago.

      I only saw the pink floral/paisley online (eBay) a couple of times and never past a D (I think) cup either. :/ If I'd somehow managed to come across it in my size it would be pointless to buy because then I wouldn't be able to find the matching knickers.

      (dramatic sigh/sob) Why can't eBay sellers just let me have what I want! I feel like they're holding me back from true lingerie greatness! ;)

    Honestly hated it. This is bra number 141 of failed fits. It was extremely pointed and overall did not fit. Straps are too far for narrow shoulders.

    A lovely, well finished bra. The cup is 4 parts with stretch lace across the top. The band feels quite firm (which I like). The straps are padded, partially adjustable, and fairly wide. I mistakenly ordered a size 2-3 cups too big for me, so the wires were an inch too wide and poked high into my armpit. The cherry red was bright and vibrant. Overall very nice.

    12/2018 Received this recently from another member. It technically fits, I guess, but it's a mis-match for my shape with those wide wires and not quite enough immediate projection. Also, it's the sternum-stabbiest bra I've ever had but that's partially due to the round boobs contained in more conical cups. It looks pretty good and the stretch lace at the top would make it useful for a variety of less-round boobs.

    Hasn't set fit

    Sadly I was unable to properly try this bra as the stretched band only measures about 31 inches, so unsurprisingly I couldn't even get the band to meet, let alone do up. However, the design is pretty, although the fabric has a 'rougher' feel than I expected it would.
