Marcella 70I

Adding bra in for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database. ☺

I had been on the hunt for Marcella since I first discovered Kris Line bras. It was a beautiful light purple semi padded bra, and I had to have it. Since it was last year’s model, I was having trouble finding it in a size that fit and even Madga at Tomahuka could find it for me in a 65K, and she’s been great at finding all things Polish for me. The closest she could find was 70I, which I knew would be too small in the cup. With the style being discontinued by Kris Line, I thought I’d be out of luck. I then found it on BraStop in a 32J. I eagerly ordered and I was so excited. Much to my dismay, it arrived in 70I. I quickly realized (having never shopped at BraStop before) that they list the general conversion size and NOT the actual manufacturer’s size. Disappointed and greatly frustrated, I was mad but understand they are just trying to make buying easier on their customers who may otherwise be unaware of the sizing differences between brands and standard UK sizing. I only wish they’d have the courtesy to list the actual tag size as well as their assumed estimated conversion which is not correct for many bras. Personally, I don’t care what any store “thinks” a size converts to; I care what the manufacture says it is. I’ve done enough research to know my size and how a bra fits, and get terribly frustrated when I order based on that only to have a completely different size show up, nor do I want to have to convert my treasured brands into standard UK sizing just so I can insure I get the size I intend. I will stick with buy from Tomahuka, it’s so much easier. (Sorry for the rant, but felt it necessary. I know many of you feel my pain with this one.)

I found Marcella to not be as pretty in person as it appears in the pictures. Don’t get me wrong, it is still pretty, but not quite what I expected. The bottom of the cups are a smooth nylon in lavender with a black lace print on them, over a light foam lining. The tops of the cups are black lace. The lace is also scratchy, which is unappealing.

The band measures 27” to a max stretch of 35” with the 4 rows of eyes. It has 3 sets of hooks as well.

Cup depth was 12.5” as measured by hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup without any resistance, to a max of 14” stretched over the knee.

For Kris Line bras, I recommend Bras4you.com (same as Tomahuka on eBay mentioned in review.) Magda offers a wide selection and excellent customer service. If she doesn’t have what you’re looking for, and she can get it, she will. I have gotten most of the Kris Line bras I’ve tried from her, and have never been disappointed in her service.

This bra is not owned any more
