Primula

Bra fits like a balconette bra. Cup Height is 7" . This is too small on me and I have some quadding. I have been able to fit into others in this brand in an F cup, so for this brand I think this cup runs small. I'd compare it to a Cleo in cup size.
Cups are rather closed on top and probably wouldn't work on anyone full on top.

Immediate projection is good. Wires are very narrow at 4.875. I have no wrinkling in the outside of the cups under the arms the ... way I do in every other bra I've tried (except for one Anna Pardal plunge with a 5" wires).
So I guess any wire width over 5" is too much for me.
I don't think this bra is all that good for center projection, wires are sitting on breast tissue.
Perhaps in a 30 G, this would be corrected.

Straps are not fully adjustable. I'm short but there is still plenty of adjustment left so I don't think that would become
a problem .
I get really good lift, comparable to the Cleo lift . The shape is a fairly round shape.

Short roots, full on bottom and center full . This is supposed to be the same cut as Hettie. It is close but the fit and feel is a little different.I think it could be the difference in fabrics. The wires are pretty good for the tons of immediate projection I need and also pretty good for my center fullness. Wires stay in my IMF although they don't feel quite as comfortable as the Hettie. The Hettie's wires feel almost a little padded. I think perhaps because the fabric is a
little heavier than on the Kayla. The band is very stretchy and I can easily fasten it in the innermost hook. Very unusual for a Cleo. I have touching breasts in a bra, so very little room for gore . This fits like almost all bras I've tried, sits very slightly on breast tissue at the gore.

This bra is a transfer from Wendybien. I knew it would be too big in the band since I normally wear a 28GG.
I will have to take in the band .
Another beautiful bra with gorgeous details. It is a light blush color and works well for me as a nude.
The cups are deep!!! and narrow . They really accommodate my very center full breasts well. Gore tacks pretty well considering I have touching breasts.
This is a full coverage bra, cups are a little taller than I like at 8", however they aren't wrinkling on top.
There is a ... very tiny bit of wrinkling at the apex that I think could go away when I get the band shortened.
It is a little hard to judge because I'm holding the back of the band to try to judge the fit.

The lift is good and gives an understated look in a t shirt. Seams really don't show.
Wires are very comfortable. I think this brand is rapidly going to become my favorite brand. I just wish
they weren't sooo expensive!!

I think most people would go down one or two cups in this bra because the cups are so deep.

This is a really pretty bra that looks quite expensive. It fits me more like a full coverage than a Balconnet . It is 7 3/4 inch tall and my max is 7" and shorter than 7" is even better. I have short roots.
So I don't totally fill the upper portion of the cup. It lays smooth though and the looseness doesn't show under a t shirt. Shape is round with a very good lift.
This bra has amazing center projection and even though the gore is too tall for my touching boobs, it manages
to tack pretty well. The cups don't do quite as ... well for my immediate projection.
The straps are not as wide as most balconnets and I think that might account some for the excellent center projection.
I think these cups are very generous for a 28GG.

This is a really really short band for a 28. I needed 1 1/2 extension to fasten it.
The band is stretchy satin and I've never had one with this fabric to know how it will stretch with time.
The lower portion is lined with a skin toned fabric that matches my skin tones quite well. I am pale.

This review is for the white bra. It is supposed to be the same cut as Kali. However it fits me better than my Kali and I'm not sure why. My guess is that it has more immediate projection and accommodates my very center full boobs better.
Shape in a T shirt is also slightly different than the Kali. It has slightly less lift but still keeps my very dense boobs up well.

It measures almost identically to the Kali, except that the length of the band is several
inches longer.
The gore at 2.5 inches tacks pretty well, perfectly on my smaller boob side, but is very slightly on breast tissue on my larger side. I just don't have much room for a gore since my boobs touch in a bra.

What a beautiful bra. Sadly it is too small. There is not enough immediate projection or center fullness.
I don't know if sizing up a cup or two would help that.

I have touching breasts and you can see how on one picture that
the gore rests on breast tissue. Again, perhaps a larger cup size would help that.
Gores are a problem in all bras I've tried. I guess it is time to order narrowed gore or overlapping wires.
In this size
The band runs small for a 60 and I need 1.5 " extension. For reference, I'm able to wear a 28GG Cleo without
an extension.

My other try at this brand wasn't too bad although not perfect , so I thought I would try this since it was cheap.
This bra is nothing like the Charnos Betsy in 30G I've tried. It had a very firm band , firm wires and fit like a 28 Cleo in the band. That bra was sturdy. This is a more lightweight bra.

Band is very stretchy. I can fasten it in the first hook and it doesn't ride up. I also can fasten it in the last hook
and it isn't too tight. My comfortable under bust is 27.5", so I normally wear a 28 ... band. I can see that this might get too big after it is broken in. I believe it would be fine for people who normally wear a 30 band.
Straps are quite stretchy and my suspicion is that with a lot of wearing they may slip. The wires are quite narrow and cups are unusually deep (11.5") for this size. Center and immediate projection is very good.
The lace on the top of the cup is not stretchy and so it is loose on me much the way the Cleo Marcie is.
I think this bra would be good on someone more full on top than I am.
As usual the gore is an issue for me, too wide and too tall.I have touching breasts . Anything taller than 2.5 is always a problem . Wires are very comfortable, similar to Comexim wires.

I'm still searching for the perfect fit in a bra. This bra is too big around and too small in the cups. It probably doesn't have enough immediate projection. when I sit down, the bones ride down and then the back rides up. Fastening it on the tightest hook doesn't really help the problem . Gore kind of digs in.
I think if I could find the right size, it would hold my very dense breasts well., A fairly smooth look under clothing. Seams might show too much in a light colored t shirt, but in a dark one, they are passable. I've also tried this in a 30G, 30F and 32E and 28G (see pictures in mint color and review)

I am short ( 5-1/2) and am short waisted and this bra is not uncomfortable under the arms

short roots, very center full. functionally full on bottom. The bra doesn't come in my usual size of 28GG .
Good sale so I thought I would try it in the 30G. Band is okay. Seems pretty firm and like it won't stretch out too fast.
I fill the cups well and get very good lift. The two issues I have with it is that it comes up too high under my arms and
the top of the gore is too wide and cuts into the of my breasts, so that I have a muffin top over the gore.
Excellent on immediate projects and should be pretty good for most center full breasts. On me though , one wire sits
slightly on one breast. about 2/3s of my breast tissue is from the nipple to the center.

I really like this bra. It has an understated classic look.

I notice in the pictures that it looks like it fits better than it does IRL. The cups feel too small and won't contain underarm tissue which is very loose and kind of floppy.
I swoop and scoop and it won't stay in the cup under the arm.
Perhaps I need longer wires? Not sure.
The reduced gore and overlapping wires are definitely an improvement over a standard gore for me since I have touching breasts. But not sure if I could improve the situation with a narrowed gore too.
The lowered gore makes me feel kind of insecure with my center heavy breasts. Not sure
what the solution is. Perhaps in a larger cup I would feel more secure with this lower gore?

This bra's measurements have been altered

reduced gore and overlapping wires.
