Purchased in early 2019, this white/grey Selina is my least favorite Selina. Fit and comfort are similar to the white Selina and Selina Lace, which is very good all things considered. My boobs are more front and center compared to the other non-Selina bras I have while also lifting just a little bit more than what my Alana's give me. Like my other Selina's, I feel like this minimizes me, more than my Alana's do.
There really isn't anything remarkable about this bra and the pattern of this colorway can be visible under the wrong top. This somewhat indifferent attitude almost steered me away from .investigating the Selina white and Selina Lace but if you read my other reviews, you will see how much I love them.
The Selina has potential as a great t-shirt bra but it is not boob sweat friendly.
I also own the Selina in the white colorway and they both not as luxurious as this Selina Lace.

July 2020

I wore this Selina yesterday for the first time in at least 3 months, maybe 6, and was very pleased with how the day went. I had a bit of a hop in my step and I think it was because of how I felt wearing this Selina. I felt like I had boobs of steel! I had one of those days where I wore the bra the whole day and was in absolutely no rush to change out of it. The bra did not feel like a band with straps and 2 cups but rather like a complete, well designed mechanism for supporting my boobs. It was almost like my boobs were 2 pounds lighter and I felt like my posture was way better, more upright than usual.
I have worn my Selina's a lot the past few weeks. With these Selina's, I have found some of my best bras ever and they were right here, sitting in my drawer the whole time!
I am still not too fond of the star pattern though as they do show through on lighter colored tops.

  • Great review! Would you say there was a size difference between the pattern Selinas and the solid colored ones?
    I recently got the navy star print one second hand and love it. Ofc it's discontinued so I cannot get more... :(

  • Hi alisa.
    My initial measurements of my white & white/grey Selina's were identical. Since then, the bands have stretched out a little differently, with the white/grey stretching out about 1 inch more than the white, which hasn't changed much since day 1.
    If you like your Selina white/navy, I highly recommend trying both the White and the Selina Lace. The wings on the white/grey are pretty standard in terms of feel. For the Selina white, I simply love the dual layer material on the wings although I do wish the softer, smoother side was on the inside. The Selina Lace is a very different bra in terms of measurements and appearance. The un-stretched band of the Selina Lace is 2 inches longer while the stretched band is 1.5 inches longer. The un-stretched length difference is really obvious when I lay the Selina's on top of the Selina Lace yet they feel similar when I wear them.
    For me, both Selina's are great everyday bras but I find I get a little excited knowing the Selina Lace will be my bra that day. The Selina Lace is likely the most luxurious bra I have ever owned and given our size, there aren't many to choose from.
