PanacheWomen's Jasmine Balconnet Bra

This is my favorite bra! I wear 36K (UK) and my breasts are very close together on my chest and I have a narrow root. I need bras that have a narrow gore, narrow wires, and deep cups. The Jasmine ticks all of these boxes! My breasts are also full-on-top, which means when I bend over at the waist, there is more breast tissue on the top of my breasts than on the underside. This bra has stretch lace on the top panels so the cups never dig in and they can accommodate my fluctuating size throughout my monthly cycle. The band is tight when it is brand new, but it relaxes quickly. I have a band extender that I sometimes use when I buy a new Jasmine, but I only have to use it a couple times.Honestly, I can't imagine what I would do if Panache discontinued this bra. Whenever one wears out, I hop on Amazon and buy another on Prime so I never have to be without.One more thing: before you buy this or any bra, grab a tape measure, and Google "ABTF bra calculator" to double-check your size.

Ok, so I have not worn this all day yet, I just unboxed it, tried it and ran out of the room, yelling at my husband to look at my boobs up where they should be. I wear a 36JJ. My breasts are a great shape, nipples pointing to the horizon, not north or south. I have never had a bra do this for my boobs. I can not say how comfortable the bra is yet, but I don't know if I will even care. If the underband starts hurting, I love this bra enough to just throw a sock between my ribs and the band! Now to get rich so I can buy more!

So. I'm a bit of an in-between size right now, which makes bra shopping interesting. With a real ribcage measurement of 30" on the dot, I can do a snug 32 or a generous 30. Cup-wise, depending on the shape of the bra, whether it runs small/large, and the give/flexibility of the material, I could be a 32F, a 32E, a 30F, or a 30FF.In the past I've gone with 32F for Panache bras, but recently I tried and returned a Marcie in 32F that was way huge all over. Rolled the dice on a 30F with this one, hoping that it would run a bit big as well, and that was the right decision. The band is a perfect, just-enough-space-to-breathe-won't-kill-me-while-I-break-it-in-30. The cup is borderline small, but the top lace is stretchy and forgiving so no quad-boobing. Other in-betweeners should size down IMO.It's a cute bra. I wouldn't say it's comfortable in a "gee, I just wanna lounge around in this soft lil thing" way, but it makes me feel totally secure without either 1. digging in/irritating/scratching me or 2. making me feel like I'm 90 years old and wearing a nasty beige medical device.My one qualm is it does have a bit of a retro, almost cone-like silhouette. The shape combined with the sheer, thin fabric make it great for certain outfits, but a bit weird for others. Maybe it's just me and my boobs, but under a plain t-shirt this bra is "Uncanny Valley" sexy, like wearing fishnet stockings to a suburban grocery store at noon on a Tuesday.

32FF soft tissue heavy on the bottom.This fit so well right out of the bag that it feels like I'm not even wearing it. It's soft comfortable fabric, fits like a glove. You can see horizontal lines through your shirt but it doesn't look that bad. The stretchy lace does half of the job so I don't know how this will hold up to every day wear, but so far it's great. The underwire on the sides don't go up too high and don't poke me at all.I would definitely buy this again or another Panache brand.Update: 3 and a half months later with every day wear and it's holding up just great. I never have to adjust it throughout the day. Maybe the straps, but not the cups. The bottom part under the wire does curl up a little, but I also slouch a lot with a short torso so that could just be me.

For reference, I'm 37, about 170lb, 5'6" & average size 10-12. My body type is pretty much classic hourglass gone soft & squishy. I purchased this in a 34G, and for the most part this bra does all its supposed to do. Talk about lift & separate! 😊 The gore fit flat against my chest and the cups provided adequate coverage for a balconette bra. The lace at the top of the cups seemed very delicate... almost too thin, as I was afraid it would rip easily. But the bra did its job making the girls look good. HOWEVER, I was not pleased at all with the comfort. The material was rough & scratchy. And the underwire... ouch! Unless you're someone who has perfect posture or who has a really toned torso, if you're large busted this bra is likely to be painful. Even though the band gives good support, the weight of my breasts and the "fluffiness" at the top of my ribcage wasn't a good match. The underwire digs in where it sits, so if it happens to sit on a roll for a long period of time, it will probably leave you raw and sore. But, like I said, if you have a tight torso or great posture or just stand all say, it would probably work for you. 15 years ago I could have worn it comfortably, but realistically, now, not so much. It would be ok for a sexy date night, but I would not want to wear it for much longer than a few hours.

This is the best fitting bra I've ever gotten so far, but it's just almost perfect. Looks good, smooth under clothing, slimming and doesn't feel like I bought a brick house for my chest. The lace at the top stretches so it lies flat with no quad boob, gore tacks perfectly, magic separation without a too high gore. I have a tiny amt of space at the bottom of the cups because of having wide root, full on top breasts, so the band also slides down in the front a tiny bit instead of staying put, but for as difficult a time as I have finding bras in my size that suit my body shape I'm actually quite happy. I'm going to try another Panache in a larger cup size. For reference I'm a 32H or 34GG - H and cannot wear any bras with a high gore. Freya bras don't fit as the cups are too small across the top. Panache Cleo 32H is the only bra that seems to fit perfectly but are hard to find. Panache Elan don't work because the center gore comes up too high and rubs against the breast tissue.. the search continues..

I had to return this because the fit is a bit strange, it's not too small or too large it's just that this bra gives a really unflattering shape to your bust. A bit like a sweater girl of the 1940's but not as sexy or Madonna in that iconic conical D&G bra back in the day, it makes boobs look like two rocket ships ready to for take off!

Very pretty design and well made, but be aware that the band sizing of Panache is rather small in comparison to brands such as Fantasie and Freya, and therefore I would recommend going up by a band size. The cup size however is comparable to the other two brands. The company was very polite and helpful and the return process was easy.

I love the Jasmine. I got fitted in Bravissimo and couldn't believe how fantastic this bra was, great lift and shape. I wanted more of this model so looked here and the piece is great. I would definitely recommend, even if you aren't a fan of Panache as it really is amazing.

Really lovely great fitting bra that gives a really nice uplifting shape. Very comfortable. Sizing accurate. Now have x3 in different patterns, one of my favourites. Good support whilst still being very flattering for larger bust sizes.

Very supportive, snug fitting bra. The underwires do not dig in, shape is rounded and very "up front". Stretch lace on the upper part of the cups means a proper fit, no wrinkling or gaping. I like the floral pattern. A new favourite.
