Update: Unfortunately, since I am more full in the center, the cups tend to cut in strangely as I wear it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think it would *probably* be best for someone fob (full on bottom) and/or with outer fullness.
First Impression (black colourway): Loretta has exceeded my expectations! I got it on a whim during an Amazon flash sale, but I am pleasantly surprised. I have close set breasts, so I typically find bras with lower gores more comfortable and this is no exception. However, there is enough of a gore to still give support and keep everything contained. Unfortunately, the wire on ...the outer cup may be too long for me (there has been a bit of poking). The straps are quite comfortable; I am 5'10" and, although I has to loosen the straps all the way, find the length adequate. As with most bras in this size, the upper part of the cup is duel layered rather than sheer as is shown in the smaller cup sizes. This makes the embroidery less noticeable, but it is still pretty. Strangely though there are only 2 rows of hooks, but despite this the band feels quite stable and seems true to size. Read more 100 more words
As a first impression: I really wish I had ordered a band size down- it isn't loose, per say,but it is quite stretchy (kind of like the Cleo Melissa (6991)) and I already feel I have to use the tightest hooks. The cups are a bit too wide for me and the gore doesn't quite tack, however, I think the gore just comes up too high for it to tack on me as I'm quite close set. The cups fit pretty well (a bit big on my smaller side), but I wish I had the opportunity to try a cup size down to see ...how that fits... probably a 34H would have it a bit better. I find it feels more secure if I wear the band up a bit higher than normal. There is a bit of flexible boning just behind the cups which adds a bit of support and stops the band from rolling. I don't get a super high, round shape, but I also don't get the "Madonna" shape that others have experienced, it gives me a nice, natural shape. On the whole, I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and the support. Read more 93 more words
This is so far my best citing bra, and probably my correct size for most bras. I felt this to be substantially more roomy than the 36G bras which were way too small. I think actually a G is this size might actually fit me too, perhaps it's due to it being non padded rather than moulded? I found it to be a little too separated for my boobs, but not overly so. I also found the centre gore to be a fraction to high for me. The wires are a good width and the cups a good depth. This seems a good bra for my shape, wide, round, separate. I could wear it aalong time comfortably. The material around during the side and bands isn't as soft as I'd like mind. The band is a perfect fit, sturdy and snug
Pretty and the usual sturdy quality I've come to expect from Panache; it simply was too small in the cup for me. I was experimenting with cup sizes and widths; not a commentary on how the Jasmine runs, which in my experience is quite forgiving of size and shape mismatches. I probably could have worn this if I had no other options.
I first purchased this bra in a 36gg in the lilac/pink, and after noticing some fit issues I ordered a 36h, this time in the violet mix color way.
This bra is just as lovely as the lilac, and the colors are vivid. I never would have thought of combining a deep violet with neon coral and turquoise accent colors, but it's totally adorable.
The issues I had in the smaller cup size were mostly negated in this size, the shape it gives me is rounder, the bottom is maybe a little snug, and the top seam cuts in to my tissue a bit, but I think the wires in this size are a perfect fit, the ogre tacks (except for leaning away a bit at the top, and it is very comfortable.
This is the most comfortable bra I have worn. I wear it all day with no discomfort. It provides great support, but the straps do slip off my shoulders.
I bought this bra because it was on sale. I should have gotten a 34J, if such an animal existed, but since it doesn't, I thought I'd try the 36H and see how things went. As it turns out, it's workable. As long as I don't scoop and swoop, that is. If I do, I get... not quadboob exactly, more like weird-diagonal-boob. The top of the cup doesn't cut in but I still get a weird pillow effect at the tops of the cups.
It's comfortable enough to wear without doing this, though, and the space between my close-set boobs is thanking me already for the nice low gore. Balconnettes (which is all you can get in J cup) all stab me in the sternum, but this is a perfect gore height. Now to get them to make plunges in J...
This is the latte in 36H. The latte fabric stretches moreā¦so the cups can accommodate wider breasts. If the black feels a bit off or narrow to you, try the latte.
This bra does fit me, and I wear this with an extender.
I liked the lower gore, but didn't feel like this one fit me well--the change to a single layer of lace on the top panel allowed the seam to slightly cut in and my soft breasts to bubble a bit in the stretch lace area. I also tried the 34GG but it was way too small.
I really love this bra, however I know it isn't going to last me long. I swapped it a little while ago and gave away something that was dreadful on me. This bra was previously dried in a dryer and the band has lost some of its jazz. Currently it will only stretch to about a 33.5 making this about a 32J, which is ok since I can only wear firm 36 bands.
The cups are wonderful and accommodating and the strap placement works well for me. I love the color also. If anyone has any ideas about the band, I'm all ears.

Doesn't give me a flattering shape since I am a "bottom heavy" gal. I imagine it would be great for a well rounded gal.
The underwires are VERY stiff & come up much higher at the gore & sides than I am used to. I am petite, so the not so vertically challenged have the advantage with these cups.
The band is stiff. Fits me like a 34" instead of the 36" it's suppose to be.
Nice color, nice material, but I prefer something with a little stretch to it so it hugs & moves with the girls.
Great construction & good quality, just not a good fit for me.
I bought this back in 2011 to wear under my prom dress. It was a bit too small even back then, and I've since gotten bigger. The band has been shortened and it's seen the inside of my mom's washing machine way too many times. The wires have all poked out due to careless washing and I've spent many hours covering them with new thread. As I type this, it has a wire poking out which I've not yet fixed. I'm letting it go for cheap or free to be used for parts or emergencies. I still have the straps, but the bra no longer matches them, and one of the strap loops has broken.
This bra is comfortable enough and look good. I bought this before I knew about how to fit a bra. It is too small for me but it is still wearable. If it was in my correct size, I think it would be perfect.
The cup fit well on my smaller breast, but was a little too small on the larger. The band was VERY tight. The underarms were a little pokey, and the straps were VERY wide set, just about falling off my shoulders. The fabric on the cups was comfortable, and the color was gorgeous.
This is an insanely comfortable bra. Unfortunately the band is just too big for me. The base of the cups is a bit shallow, but there's nice depth at the apex. The stretch lace at the top of the cup does a good job of holding my breasts where they belong, as opposed to letting them fall towards the center gore. I really wish this came in larger cup sizes!
