This is my boob heaven bra. It's amazing. Seriously.
1. It's the first bra for as long as I can remember that actually tacks. This is due to the underwires sitting on top of each other because my boobs as good as touch. But with just 1 wire width, the gore tacks in that tiny space between them. 2. The stretch lace is amazing. Normally I always get the top of the bra to cut into tissue and quadboob, but whatever I do in the Jasmine, it won't quadboob! 3. The band is firm and supportive, even though it's too large, I should have 32s. 4. the floral print is so pretty!!!!
*edit end of June 2013* I've now altered the band down so this bra is now 32KK. It barely rides up anymore so this bra is like the perfect fit on me now.
Seriously this bra really fits you like a halfcup! It's like an unpadded EWA CH bra shape :O It's super interesting!
Do you also naturally project east and west? It looks like that. I do that and I've become fond of it :) Are your nips also east west when leaned over?
This bra on you looks super cool! :)
I'm in love with this bra! I've already snagged the last 34Ks from Figleaves which arrived yesterday, so I've now got 3 Jasmines Floral/navy in my possession :D Wishing the black/multi wasn't sold out everywhere, because I want it too! And of course the red/pink lace one that will launch this June :D
Anyway, yes I totally project east and west. Fiance says my nips do still point to the sides when leaned over.
Loving it, wearing it as much as possible! <3
I thought the EM PL also tacked on you (and got painful)? I'm surprised at how much deeper it is than both the 36K Jasmine I added and the 34Js. Did you measure while wearing it? I'm wondering if this colourway is more generous than the black one, which would be great news!
petalmoon: Yay, this means I'm not alone anymore in the natural east west thing. <3 #happyface
ohmyohmy I thought it tacked as good as it got for me when I first got it. Now that I've experienced "true" tacking, I can say for sure that the gore doesn't tack at all on the EM PL. I measured while having the bra over my knee, but I always pull a bit on the fabric so it's straightened out and not wrinkling, just like it'd be on my boobs.
Thanks, petalmoon! I'll try and get that colourway in a 34K instead of 36K, since it seems much more generous. It would be awesome not to have to alter the band!
Oh I also measure cup depth somewhat stretched since it's the most logic way to measure it!
Hmmm you mean that if I ever do find the black/multi I'd really need to get it in 34K not the 32K I am going to try with the bravissimo-exlusive soon?
I'm not sure as I only have the black print one and have not tried the summer version, but based on the pics, most of the figures entered are for the winter (black print) and if you look at the figures for the 32K, 36K and 34J compared to you 34K, it seems less generous. It is common for black bras to be somewhat smaller than other colours (both in the cup and the band). That being said, I think I measure more conservatively than you do: on my knee but almost without stretching, because I figure the boob shape, size and firmness will affect how the bra stretches, so I'd rather work with the "gross" figure.
Did you stretch this to the max petal moon? I just got this bra in pink and haven't measured it but if it's really 17 cm in depth it's a little depressing because it fits in the cups!
Huh? The bra is shown as 41.2cm depth... and how it fits you is the most important, always! Only use the measurements to find comparable bras!
Sorry, I meant 17 inches! It's easy to get caught up in the numbers.
Ah. of course. Well as long as it fits... ;)
I've got one other question. Perhaps you have a long torso but don't the 34K wires poke you any?
I have no idea if my torso counts as long or short - but there's no poking :D
My smallest part of my body is my underbust so that's my waist and it's short. I guess if it's anywhere else that isn't your underbust it's average or long. I'm glad they don't poke you but they do me so I was just trying to figure out why, thanks.
Ah, my underbust is the smallest part too. Sometimes at the end of the day there's a little poking, but it's almost unnoticable so I don't really count it. Sucks that it does poke you!
This bra is a fancier, limited edition, version of the basic Tango bra, with nicer materials and detailing, and it is, in fact, quite nice. The satin touches are pretty and silky and the back band material is really nice feeling. I love the color of the orchid, especially on the satin parts, and I imagine the ocean blue is just as pretty.
I went back and forth a lot on whether to keep this bra, but ultimately, even though I got it on sale, I'm sending it back, because the band is really, really too big. (They don't make a KK, so I can't just get a ...32. C'mon Panache, more KK's please!) I was thinking about getting it altered, which I think on this bra would work pretty well, but I do have bras coming from Bravissimo that will fulfill a similar position in my wardrobe, so I'm gonna pass this time. (Note to self: if it shows up on Ebay or something for an even better price, grab it!)
The cups shape on this bra is 3-section, with a large upper section that goes all the way across and two lower sections. The cup is deep enough at the very bottom for my boobs and I don't get orange-in-a-glass like I do with the other type of 3-section cups. Not as good as a 4-section, but an acceptable secondary shape option for me.
The cup on this bra is actually, really big enough for my boobs, I can scoop all my breast tissue into the cups and they don't spill out over the tops. I got a large enough cup size that the cups fit more like a full coverage than a balconette, which is good for me. Unfortunately the strap angle is still bad, positioning the straps too far out on my shoulders and making the outer cup dig into the front of my armpit. (I really wanna try altering this, because if I can fix this issue a lot more bras will work for me. I should experiment on an older bra.)
The straps are pretty and satiny and would look nice in a situation where they will show, because they don't really look like bra straps. However they do roll as the material is not stiff enough to keep itself spread out. (Being too wide-set for my shoulders probably doesn't help this issue any.) For comparison, I think Bravissimo does really nice straps, that stay where they belong better.
The back material is really, really nice and comfortable. Very fine stretch mesh, it kinda reminds me of a leotard or dance costume of some sort. The satiny band is really nice too. However this band is overly stretchy. For comparison, I bought the Panache Jasmine in the same order, in a 32K, and will wear it on the tightest hook of an extender for a little while until it stretches out a bit. The 34K Tango Luxe is so loose/stretchy that I can fasten it on the tightest hook straight out of the package and still fit my whole hand in the band. (It's really too bad they don't make it in 32KK because I think that would fit really well.)
This bra is actually really comfortable. I think the underwires may be a little less out of control thick/stiff than my older Tangos, and miraculously they do not jab me in the armpits! This might be because the cup is actually fully wide enough for me, which means the back ends of the wires hit behind my arms. (good for me, bad for someone with narrow boobs) I would certainly recommend ordering a cup size smaller than usual in this bra! The shape is ok. Nothing special (not like the Jasmine!), not too different than my everyday Goddess Kiera's. A bit low and wide, but totally serviceable.
I really wanted to keep this bra, and I do think with a few alterations it could be great, but I just can't justify keeping a bra that needs alterations and isn't too much different than what else I have, just because the materials are so nice.
This one is very slightly too big in the band for me - marginal. It's also slightly small in the cup.
The underwire is very uncomfortable between the boobs, too high, digs into the chest wall.
This bra is used as a 'going-out' bra - I love the colour and fabric. Although it doesn't quite fit, it's OK for a few hours and I feel good in it if I ignore the underwire digging into my chest. The straps are padded.
This bra fits like a glove. It's a great bra! My power horse bra! It is my ideal fit. I will buy it season after season. I love this fit. This is my 2nd jasmine. I went down the cup and up the band in this one. If I find other bras that fit like the panache jasmine I will be a very happy fuller, busted woman😄 @lovepanache please don't discontinue this beauty!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Panache Ariza has been made from AW2008-AW2013. The newer versions had a slightly different cut and lower wires. This one although is one with the good old cut in all it's difficult-to-fit glory!
I had many Arizas when I was around 30JJ-32K a few years ago. The Ariza gave me a better shape and support than the Panache Tango and it wasn't as weak as Jasmine or Envy. I liked how it made my boobs appear smaller by having them close to chest in a round slightly minimized shape. So there were times when I loved the bra but it was also always kinda difficult. I have not ...worn an Ariza bra since 2014 since when I grew out of my 32Ks I could never get a good fit in it again. Lately I went down in size and tried to wear my old 32Ks again, but they gave me horrible quadboob. So I jumped on the opportunity to try this 34K as an exchange bra.
The issues with this particular Ariza 34K bra:
The band on this bra is much too big. Unstretched it measures 78cm, and I measure 79cm underbust, so I can just wrap it around me without even stretch it. Another Ariza oddity: bands up to J -cup in Ariza ran small- tts while in JJ-K they suddenly got very big/loose.
The wires under the arms are extremely tall! I'm not petite and I have somewhat tall roots but it's just too much! They poke me in my arms very badly and stab me if I try to sit down wearing the bra! Ideally the wires of my old 30K Ariza would be a good fit, but the cup volume is much too small on that one. Speaking of cup volume, this bra measures 37cm cup depth when I stretch it over my knee. If I don't even stretch it much, it measures 35cm! For comparison Tango 34K has data here of 40cm cup depth in 34K!
So Ariza's cups are super shallow! They are also very tall and wide. Therefore I can somewhat fit my boobs into the bra. I tried to show in my pictures what happens when I try to arrange my boobs into the bra so they are fully inside of the cups. I cannot fill the bottom, because there is barely any room, the cup is super shallow there. Then my soft boobs are pushed against my chest and even fold somewhat inside the bra. The side of the cup and the top is empty again. I wonder how I could ever get a decent fit in an Ariza bra? I assume that my boobs were more shallow-tall before my weight gain. This bra was an epic fail but I learned a lot from it and how my breast shape changed with weight gain and recent weight loss.
The unique feature for me that made Ariza "better" than all the other Panache full cups: besides being very supportive it's the U-shaped wire that is so sturdy you can barely distort it! While on other bras the wire can be pulled back by the band a lot, on Ariza it barely happens, I tried to show it with the pic with my hand under the band. The wire keeps it's U-shape even with tension on the band while on some bras the wire is so weak it can end on your back so easily (see 34K - Bravissimo » Boudoir Beau (PA07) wire and that bra band was not even tight on me!)

I just got this bra in the mail today and it is the best fitting bra I have ever owned. With that being said, it is far from perfect but that is mainly because I have been wearing the wrong size bras most of my adult life and now have ginormous omega breasts. On top of that, my left boob is almost 2 whole cups bigger than the right.
The 34K - Panache » Jasmine (6951) gave me a lift that I never thought was possible for my extremely heavy breasts. The wires creaked under the weight for the first hour or so but now have ...quieted down. The wires are much narrower than my Elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support (8030) and Goddess Keira Banded Underwire (6090) and they actually sit on the outer edge of my rib cage instead of my back. It is still a smidgen too tall, poking under my right arm while the wire holding in my larger left boob feels like it is barely there.
Before trying this bra, I stayed away from anything that was not full cup because I thought being a bigger size meant that I needed fuller coverage to avoid spillage which occurred anyway. Even tho I am jiggling and wiggling more in this cup style, my girls stay put even when I bend over. I actually feel more secure in the Jasmine than I ever did in my Elomi or Goddess.
The cup separation is the best I have ever had in a bra but its a wee bit too wide, giving my close set boobs that east/west look. The cups are very deep, deeper than I thought was possible (thanks in part to the stretch lace). After doing my measurements properly with the help of this site, I found out that I have full on top boobs but didn't realize how full until I got this bra, I have 2 inches of empty fabric at the bottom of the cups! O.O
Jasmine's gore has gotten the closest to my sternum than any other bra I have ever owned, but it is still about an inch from tacking. My other bras, the gore would float on TOP of my breasts, not even close to getting in between them.
The band sits flat and stays put on my 33.5 inch ribcage at the loosest hook and is comfortably snug. I feel extremely supported from down there, which is a wonderful change from bras that use to float and shift around on the bottom of my boobs.
The straps are perfect, they are padded and very comfortable. They are wider set than I am use to but feel great! And for the first time in my life, I didn't need to over tighten the straps to feel secure or get the lift I wanted, in fact, I am wearing the straps at the loosest setting!
As I said in the beginning, the Panache Jasmine (6951) is the best fitting bra I have ever owned, and has really helped me narrow down what I need to look for in a bra to get closer to the perfect fit! Read more 422 more words
This is my fave bra (i'm full on bottom). I'm hoping that the more people like it, the more colors we can get! yay for finding your best bra ever! I hear you on the crazy big boobs! hopefully they will also start making bigger cups too!
Yay! I LOVE the shape it gives me, very natural, rounded and uplifted. I look and feel 10 years younger!
I have seen a few colors so far but are mostly vendor exclusives. I got mine at Bare Necessities and they have 3 other color ways available at different sizes.
This bra seems like a good in between. And the lace does a good job of containing my full on top boobs. but if I could fill the empty fabric on the bottom, I believe most of my other fit issues would be resolved.
I am gonna try an Ewa Michalak bra next but I am not sure which style, as I am pretty sure I would not be able to afford the return as I am in New York.
Any suggestions?
aphrospice The BM cut is basically the same sort of thing as the Jasmine; a rounded balcony style with stretch lace on top. So, if you like the Jasmine, that could be a good choice.
Other than that, the other options in your size range are the S (padded medium cut balcony), SM (unpadded medium cut balcony) and PL (lower cut plunge). You need to have the right kind of boobs and frame for PL to work on you in this size range and a lot of people don't, but S and SM are pretty good.
Resale value on EM is reasonable, they tend to go for $40 US new with tags, so even if the size isn't right, it won't be a total loss for you.
Ereshiy So funny you should mention the BM, I was just going through EM's blog and saw the Bm Gwiezdny Pył and promptly added it to my wishlist. They dont have it in my suggested size so I'll have to custom order it. It does look very promising! Now I just need to get the funds for this beauty!
I am scared of plunges, my boobs are pretty massive and have a life of thier own. But then again, the Jasmine contains them quiet well so.. I will keep an eye out for something here in my size to grab.
Thank you for the resale numbers, I will mos def make the investment. The Jasmine really helped me figure out that from what I read about EM bras that they are will probably be the closest I will come to the perfect fit.
This is a very pretty bra. The color is just stunning. Unfortunately, I'm not keeping it. The bra while it was a small feat to get the band to hook, once it was on the band was snug but comfortable. It feels like a band that will stretch out quickly, though. So I say it'd end up feeling more like a 36 band in a couple weeks. The cups however are just too small. The wires are way too wide which I think causes this double quadboob effect where I quad at the seam where the bottom of the cup meets the top lace panel and then again at the top of the lace. If the wires were the narrower all the fabric on the side would be placed more towards the front and would eliminate this problem. I'm tempted to try this again in a 36K to see if the quading would lessen but then the band would get too loose too quickly. I just wish the wires were narrower.
The bra is very similar to TangoII, but the size of the cup is a little bit smaller and the band size is smaller too as the same size in Tango. Size is like it would be a 32k bra from Tango or around this size. The material is softer and the wires don’t dig during wearing. The cups are a little bit separate in this size, much more as all of Tangos.
This is now my favorite bra. It is extremely comfortable and gives my breasts a very round, projected shape. The stretch lace at the top of the cups doesn't cut into my breasts and the cups contain all my breast tissue. The only fit issue I have is that the wires are quite a bit too wide, but this doesn't significantly impact my comfort and I'd be hard pressed to find a better overall fit.
Edit: The first time I wore this bra for a full day, the fabric was scratchy and the wing were uncomfortably high. After a few washings with Eucalan, the fabric is fine, although the Floris is better. I had to lower the wings of the bra by about half an inch, but now the underwires poke a bit and I may have to shorten them as well.
Purple paisley print, full coverage bra. Pretty standard panache offering quality wise. This is a 3 part cup with two layers of non stretch mesh. The band is a stretch powernet material same on the Panache Jasmine. The top of the cup has decorative lace, but it always sticks out, tighter on the area it is sewn to. It makes the cup seem too big when it is actually too small. I feel my breasts are compressed as much as possible so breathing is hard but the band is still too big. With straps not extended all the way to make up for not a big enough cup it really offers little support, and boobs escape bottom. The band and cup seem to run big in this one. Full coverage on me, but cup is uncomfortably small, band too big. Sadly this is my only wearable ( sort of) bra at the moment. Many of the hooks are missing. I desperately need bras again, nothing fits at the time of this review.
Are you familiar with Ewa Michalak? Its a polish company a lot of us order from. they came out with a new bigger size range series. You might want to check it out. No one is exactly sure of the sizing yet, though, because they are pretty new. I think 2 have been entered here so far?
Thanks, i'm familiar. I've been dying for one of the non fuller bust ones, Przeplatanki. I 'm not sure I want to splurge on one or more not knowing measurments of a bra that fits. I wish I did't miss out on the Onyx. I have a few Ewa Michalak, just not fuller bust styles. They used to fit, although parts of the construction i was meh on. The FB styles frankly don't look that supportive, or as nice a general shape as their smaller counterparts (although review looks better). At least it's a step in the right direction. Worlds better from other options. I really don't need such high gores on all my bras, many people do yes, but having that option to have a plunge would be nice. Especially with closer set breasts. I just hope she doesn't stop making custom bras. Shipping and waiting is a doozy. I'm hoping my first purchase from Bravissimo is quicker. Going to try the Alana in a 36L. I'm hoping the newer Ewa bras get more measurements up as well. The new review is hopeful, and looks better on the bratabase woman. The 5 inch gore looks fine on her but anything near that I feel is way to much for me.
I found a video review of the FB on youtube - she said that because her boobs were 'fake' she didnt need that much support, and she didnt like so much coverage. but it seemed to fit her pretty well
Even though my "how it fits" has some bads (pokes sternum, too wide set straps) because of my size and breast weight, this is actually the 2nd most comfortable bra I've ever worn. I look so high and round, my breast stay in place and my neck, back and shoulders don't hurt. This is my bra. basically the only one I wear, because i feel so sexy and in control in it. yes, I'd like it if the wires were slightly lower and if the straps were a bit closer in. But I've never found a bra that was more comfortable that makes me look and feel as ...amazing. No quad boob, no side boob, no sad and pointy boobs. I think based on my measurements that they run large, as I get more support in a 34. they do stretch after wear, so I would do the tighter of two bands. In a 34 K the poking is minimal, and the straps don't fall down, they just feel like they will. I very much reccomend this bra, especially for large breast. Read more 75 more words
I set this as a 'fit', but I would actually need a larger cup size. Still, this works better than a 36K with the band shortened, because the gore doesn't come quite as tall. As it is, I sometimes fall out of the cups and have to readjust.
Wow! What a lovely bra! The colour is stunning, and I love the lace wings! It's fairly comfortable save for my usual issue of the wires digging into my ribcage (does this often go hand in hand with the orange in a glass issue?). One thing that surprised me while I put it on was that I got the fabled squeaking wires I'd heard so much about but never seen. So far they don't seem to squeak as I wear the bra. The wires are almost too tall on the sides, as I can feel them touching my armpits if I tell ...my brain to look for that sensation, but it's not painful at all. I'm not sure about stretching, as it came with tags, but I have the bra done up on the smallest set of hooks. Another small issue is that when I put it on, the straps were already adjusted as short as they could go, and they still feel a little on the loose side. It's wearable, but I think I'll take pictures, measure, replace the tag, and set it aside for listing. I just noticed that the lace at the sides is a bit itchy. Read more 102 more words
It's a very pretty bra, though very basic and white.
Even though this bra band measures and stretches near enough the same as the band from my 36K Ariza, this bra feels much less supportive. This band rode up to the top of my shoulderblades within minutes of putting it on, while the Ariza band stayed in place more or less throughout a day.
Wires poke me under the arms. Also it feels like the wires are bending inside at the arm-ends which results in not just normal poking but poking that feels like the wire is trying to drill a hole inside.
Jasmine is the best fitting bra I've ever worn and I have purchased several over the years. Having said that it's still not quite the right shape. I think Polish would be the way to go but without being able to try one I'm not sure how to translate the fit of this one into any of the Polish brands.
This is very similar to all az TangoII. Only the differences that it is with silky material on the top of the cup. Tha cups are a little bit bigger as the usually Tangos. I don’t really understand who but I reális és the same at all the designed colours. The Blue, the forest has the same. The colour is very nice. And it is better under my armpit - it does not hurt me... no digging.
Is it the "rose" colour from Bravissimo? There have been recent Reviews on Bravissimo that the Tango changed in fit. I also noticed that very old colours (pre 2012) have taller underwires at the sides. Newer colors have lower wires.
Yes this is the rose ombre colour. Panache made a lot of modufication at Tango at the standard colours as well. But in this case this is bigger as the standard colours I have much more room in the cups comparing to my black one with the same size.
Tangos in basic colors (black, nude, white) used to fit smaller compared to fashion colors in the past.
It is a Coral colour, it is very nice and it is very nice during wearing the bra. The bra itself is a pretty bra from 4 sections. I tried several bras from 4 sections but it was the first with a quite good fit. The back is from an elastic "honeycomb" shape material. (Same as at newer Tango tipes). It give a rounded shape it is better as at Tango II. After comparing with my TangoII: the material is better to touch, bigger in the band, but smaller in the cup, it is like an 34jj in the high of the cup. The padding under the cups are ...smaller as at Tango, but it se as it is confortable. I would recommend for wider rooot with if you need a little bit smaller cup with rounded shape as Tango. Straps are for my shoulder it is a little bit too wide as usually. Because of Cons I had to send it back. Pros: Colour Material Straps - with pattern ne pads Rounded shape Cons: Smaller as some other Panache Wide straps Not enough high cups
This bra can actually contain my boobs! I bought this bra because I heard the cups ran large, and lucky for me they do. I'm still not entirely sure what size bra I should wear because this is the only one I've found with cups that are completely big enough. The wires are too tall for me, but I can shorten them. They're also too wide, but I don't really care that much because I'm so happy that there's no quad boob.
Edit: I have shortened the underwires and lowered the wings by about 3/4 of an inch. The bra is now extremely comfortable for a full day's wear.
Seriously this bra really fits you like a halfcup! It's like an unpadded EWA CH bra shape :O It's super interesting!
Do you also naturally project east and west? It looks like that. I do that and I've become fond of it :) Are your nips also east west when leaned over?
This bra on you looks super cool! :)
