    This bra is soft and sexy! It fits me relatively well but I never reach for it. I've had it for about 2 years and maybe worn it 5 times. Such a shame because I love it!

    Love this bra. Stretchy lace at the top so it fits really well to any shape. I could use a tiny bit more immediate projection above the wires, but it's super comfortable and holds all of my breast tissue so whatever. Doesn't really do much shaping so if you want a perfectly round shape and you have a lot of projected tissue I wouldn't recommend, but if you're just going for comfort this is one of my fave bras.

    A size or two up and this bra would be golden. It fit great when I was actually a 28F rather than a 28G/GG.

    I was really hoping this bra would work since it's a plunge style with narrow-ish wires. Unfortunately, the shape is funny and the center gore still feels like it's stabbing me despite the low-ness. It looks like the cups are separated too far.

    The bra expects your apex to be closer together. My nipples sit further apart relative to the bra so I get this weird wrinkling right at the apex. I think I had the same issue with the Panache Envy, although it's been awhile since I tried that bra. Everywhere else I fill the cups okay.

    I normally have an issue with floating shoulder straps since my roots ... are (shorter?/average?) and I'm full on bottom. These shoulder straps sit comfortably on the top of my breasts w/ no floating.

    One interesting detail about this bra is that it's not made of lace. It feel like a smooth plastic material (Gossard glossies is smooth, but feels more like a mesh lace)--this feels like a mesh. Definitely worth a try if the normal lace bras feel too itchy for you. I actually quite like the material of this. If it weren't for the weird shape and stabby gore, I'd keep it.

    Overall very comfortable. Had some issues filling up the cup in my right breast. Due to scoliosis surgery that corrected the spine, but pushes my left ribcage out more, I am functionally "larger" on the left.

    Unlike other Panache bras I've purchased, the band is looser so that I am wearing it at the innermost hook from the get-go. The cup is made entirely of stretch lace. There is no elastic at the top of the cup, just stretch lace, so it's more accommodating of various breast types. That said, my upper tissue must be so soft that the lace pushes into the tissue to form a false quad boob at the top that disappears when I wear a nipple cover. The inner side sling brings the breast forward. It is not as supportive as the Andorra bra, but that's alright. My primary problem ... is that the sides of the bra's cups are so high that it cuts into my arm pit, making the bra rather uncomfortable. The wire height isn't the issue; it really is the cut of the bra's cups. It's less of a problem if I maintain THE most proper posture, but I am not a ballerina. The gore is too wide and hence the cups too apart for my breasts that, though the cups are the right size, I'm finding myself constantly shifting the cups. No matter, the cup separation results in inner quad boobs. This bra is not for me.

    I wish this bra had fit me perfectly because it is sooooo supportive. The inner side sling does a fantastic job both bringing the breasts forward (though my breasts already are more forward-oriented) and providing support all through the day. The two main shortcomings for me are the high gore that have caused my close-set breasts to separate a bit and the triangular profile that makes it look a bit too much like a bullet-bra especially under clothing. The stretch lace also gets a bit scratchy throughout the day. However, ultimately, because this is one of the most supportive bras I've ever come across, I have purchased several of them in multiple colors.

    My shape: narrow/average root width, tall roots, projected/very projected, immediate projection, even fullness.

    I'm pretty sure this bra is mistagged - or it comes up markedly smaller than all the other colourways I've ever tried (including lots of black/dark ones). I think it is like a 28E (maybe a large 28E?) on 28F wires. The deep cups fit me well, though I don't have the upper fullness needed to get a rounded shape in this bra. Cups are narrow/average width, and the stretch lace follows my shape well. In it my breasts look super projected, slightly pointed.

    Usually 28Fs/30Es are too big for me, other than shallower halfcup styles ... (which squish me into a cakes on a plate cleavage). I do best in deep/very deep 30DDs. In all other colourways of Jasmine the cups are too deep and too big in a 30E. The fit of this one makes me want to try 30DD and 32D very much.

    The band is too small, I only wear this one with an extender. Even when I was a 28 band I wore an extender with Jasmine - the material is very, very firm. If you don't have much squish, I'd recommend sizing up unless you like a very firm fitting band.

    I like the wide underwires, and the band sits comfortably (not too tight) but not so much on how the shape this bra gives me ;( I'm not feeling the lift and it doesn't flatter anything either under clothing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
    The left cup gives me a tad quad boob effect, I guess my left breast is a bit bigger than the right one.
    But I like the embroidery designs on the cups though.

    UPDATE:
    band is way too stretchy even after only a few months and got reaaallly really stretchy that there's no point of wearing it anymore, band was riding up and all that. Tossed it away.

    Again, I'm headed back to try 28Es in Panache, as yet another 28F looks baggy, though I need to investigate whether cup depth and wire width would even be significantly different. If the problem is more about style and scale than size, perhaps I should just move on to other brands/styles. What I realy like about this bra is the pushing in from the sides effect, which I believe comes partly from the strap attaching to a vertical-only outer panel. I also get pretty good immediate projection in this bra compared to the others I've tried. However, I haven't figured out what to do with all the soft ... flesh that's now sitting top and center because the bottom of my breasts is projected up. It spills forward and give me too much center projection, too much pointiness, and a loose/jiggly feeling, and I suspect going a cup size down wouldn't fix the issue. My limited forays into immediate projection all seem to come at the expense of a nice center shape. I only wear unlined bras and strongly anything with even a hint of bullet...

  11. Ava Plunge Bra (9396)

    I've been on a mail order bra buying blitz to find a size and style that works for me. So far, this brand/size/style is the closest fit I've found. (Though this is the only 28 band I've tried, after lots of 30DD/Es, and I'm realizing that could be the problem.) I like the style but it's nothing dazzling. The low gore and lace top leave me a wee bit jiggly/uncontained feeling because I've got softish tissue and center fullness. But this is minor. The cups are very slightly too wide, especially on one side, but again, really minor. Not much lift, but that's OK. Moderate but not super-strong push-in toward center from the side panel. I am learning side support is a feature to look for...

    I got this bra used in beige and black. I would say it is true here that the black bra runs smaller. It could have slightly less use, but the band of the black bra is more of a true 28, and the cups seem smaller overall.

    Not a fit for me, but it was a stretch anyway. This bra is wide, but not super wide. It just bothers my armpits. The top of the cup cuts in because it is too closed.

    My shape: fairly projected, tall roots, soft tissue so my projection is all below my apex!, average to narrow roots.

    This bra is (in my inexperienced opinion!) more projected than the Andorra in this size, less projected than either Envy or Jasmine. It gives a more rounded shape than the Andorra, too - my suspicion is that it has more space in the lower section of the cup.

    The band is true to size, but made of a fairly soft/giving fabric so it feels bigger than it is. Stretching the band, the cups begin distorting at around the 28 inch mark, but the band itself feels loose on my 27 ... inch underbust. So I would not recommend for any sub-28s. The cup width is around average for this size - my bratabase measurement is tip to tip, but I also measured straight across as though the bra were a balconette and the wire continued some, and would put it at around the 5 inch mark. The cups are also deep, over 9 inches in this size - if you are a smaller 28F, you may want to size down. The lower portions of the cups are laminated lace, the upper section is stretch lace, the tension is even across the laminated and stretch lace so there is no in cup quad on me (my soft tissue has a general in-cup quad problem, so this is a surprise to me!).

    One problem is the side support - this is made of an entirely separate section which is only sewn to the cup on the outer edge. Something about the tension there plus my soft tissue means that in certain positions - esp. stretching up or down with my arms - the side support pushes literally *all* of my tissue into the rest of the cup, creating a very odd shape. Like my breast becomes a very very narrow and bizarre looking bulge. Hardly ever noticeable, but worth considering if you are thinking of this one for an occasion bra.

    Overall, I think this is a great bra for anyone who does well in the Andorra, but possibly for those who do well in deeper cups, too, like the Jasmine or Envy.

    Weird fit. Cuts into my breast tissue probably because I'm too centre-full. Winkles in front of nipples and on the sides. Might be too big for me. Band runs loose.

    I have very cone-like projection to begin with, and this bra just seems to emphasize that. There isn't enough projection in the bottom of the cup for me. The lace on top cuts into and flattens my tissue. So sad. This bra is gorgeous, especially in the bluebell shade.

    As I've lost a little weight and this model in 28FF is slightly too big, I tried 28F.
    While this has perfectly sized cups, the wires are too narrow for me. It's like there exists no small cup bra that's extra shallow and wide.

    Other than that, it's of great quality, the band is tight and shoulder straps soft.

    I wouldn't suggest this bra for someone with a similar cup shape; although the width of the wires is just right, the cups are very tall, giving both gapping and wrinkling under the breasts. They would suit someone with taller breasts, a fuller shape through the top of the breast or firmer breast tissue. The band is a good fit on the tightest hook at the time of purchase (I'd estimate true to size, since I had to size up to get the 28) and the straps aren't too wide for narrow shoulders, which is nice - I wish I could stitch different cups onto the frame to get a perfect fit, because these cups aren't going to work with these boobs.

    Band was so tight and straps were so short that upon trying it on for the first time I pulled a muscle in my back. I got somewhat used to it (without any damage) and moved the straps to be the longest. It's very beautiful but I'll be looking for a slightly bigger one -- maybe a 30F.

    This was a strong recommendation from the bra recommendation engine.

    I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. The wires don't go out far enough for me, but it's not too much of an issue. Other than that this bra fits well and is very pretty. The lace does a decent job at containing nipples.
