I haven't seen any other reviews of this bra in the new sizing (34 band). Let me say that it is AWESOME. I know that this is based on the Jasmine but I don't like the Jasmine (hurty wires, not enough lift, too little support in the stretchy upper cup lace, cups a bit too wide). The Chi Chi provides a great band - totally comfortable and firm. I wear a 32 often and this 34 gives as much support. It's also made of a soft material sewn atop the power mesh. The cups are totally front and centre and the lift is terrific. This bra gives almost ... an Empreinte boobs on a plate shape. I mean, only Empreinte is Empreinte, but at this price point you cannot beat this bra. I've got it in both the black and taupe colourways and I prefer the taupe. The fit is a bit better - though both fit extremely well - because black dye tends to mess with fabric ease and is always a bit less dynamic. I have found my latest neutral bra.

Thank you for discussing the expanded band size on Sculptresse » Chi-chi Full Cup Bra (7695)
I am glad more people can opt out of Panache Jasmine's all-around SINGLE-LAYER power mesh and enjoy a smoother cup and double-bagged band of Chi-chi.
I'm glad the Cappuccino color wasn't too ashy and taupe for you!
It's annoying that in 8 years this bra's colorways stuck to loud swimsuit-like animal or floral prints copied off Jasmine and not, say, more skintone or neutral options.
If you're on the market for another neutral bra in this cut, you might like your size of the new 40E - Panache » Serene in the Vintage = cool pastel pinky-beige colorway.
