It's supposedly based on the Melrose bra, which I have not tried. I was nervous when I found out, because I had hoped it would fit just like Allie does, and it doesn't but, it's not too far off.

It's not really a navy color, it's more like a blueish dark grey color, and the stars and moon embroidery and print feels very festive.
It's incredibly comfortable, even though this bra is too big for me, I still feel really supported and held in well.

So I don't really have any problems with the bottom of the cup of this bra, it feels great. The wires are not as narrow as they are on my Allie bra but they are fine, I don't mind the width of these. These are also the new and improved wires. I think these new wires are all different depending on the bra cut too so I can't compare too much between different bras that have different cuts https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />


So this bra is clearly too big for me, which is annoying. I tried on my allie just to be sure I'm not at a weird fluctuating statre right now but Allie fits great as it usually does, so I think this Gemma bra runs big. I am getting a bit annoyed with Bravissimo sizing because it's all over the place. 34JJ's have been too big , too small, and just right, all of them full cup styles from Bravissimo. Get it together please!


It's also more open on top than Allie is, so I probably get a little extra gaping due to that, but I can see clearly that it's also too big overall in the cup. But if you are more FoT I think this bra is better for you than Allie is.


I'll exchange this for a 34J for sure because the fit and comfort is fab. hopefully it'll be excellent in that size.

It has fully adjustable straps. The fabric is that silky, thick material, almost swimsuit material.

This bra is not owned any more

  This bra is really lovely with all the tiny moons, hoping the 34J will work out well! I feel you thoguh on being frustrated with the same size/style fitting differently - that sucks!

  Also; really appreciating your thorough reviews, thank you! Actually setting a great example; you remind me that I could add some more myself.. Quite a number of bras that I haven't measured / reviewed / uploaded on here.

  Was sort of expecting to see so many extra added bras on BTB during the whole quarantine / pandemic but doesn't really seem that way??

  Let's get ourselves motivated this winter :D because Bratabase is such a valuable resource for many <3

• I am terrible at writing good sentences, I tend to ramble so much , so trying to write these reviews is like practice to me, so I can write properly haha.

  I definitely ordered more bras than I've ever done during quarantine , one of the few things that was fun. I obviously also wish i had found a few more that fit but can't have it all :)

  Definitely write more reviews yourself! I've measured all my old bras too during quarantine, without reviews mostly but still.. Do it! :)

• I love the design/pattern. :) I hope the size down works out for you!

• Get the 34J! It looks very promising in fit... the cup height is much better on you and there is no bottom wrinkling?
  Also really hate the inconsistent sizing they have going on...
  The bra looks cute but almost black which fits with the theme but I would prefer more navy blue color.
