I had this bra for 4 months. When I first got it, it was a perfect fit. I was shocked at how well this bra fits... since I made the "risky" decision to size down from my usual 32JJ in Bravissimo. It was such a bargain at the sale price.

First about the bra: It's a balconnette bra with cups made of 4 parts. It is not the traditional side support construction but the bra features the "triangle" part where the cup meets the straps that also appears in Ewa Michalak SF / BM. It also features a stretchy lace top section. Camilla is one of the few bras from Bravissimo that does not come with the extra lining on top of the cups above HH-cup. The color is a darker sage green but it looks lighter because of the beige mesh fabric underneath. The material is very lightweight, the stretchy lace is very thin but still holds in the boobs quite well.

The fit: Oh how was I surprised how narrow these wires are.(I mean for an UK brand!)

Comparison of wire width:
Bravissimo Camilla 32J: 16.5cm
32JJ - Bravissimo » Lulu Bra (LN581) : 18cm
70K - Ewa Michalak » Sf Gładzioch Beż (849) : 16.2cm

Wow! The wires are just right for me in this bra! I wonder if this bra features more narrow wires in general or if there is just a big gap between 32JJ and 32J in wire fit?
Also the bra brings my boobs to the front. It also offers enough room at the centre. I noticed that the wires fold a bit over each other, but it does not bother me. Since I have close set boobs that are very full at the centre, I get some almost cleavage in this bra. The band runs true to size but I have to wear this bra now on the tightest setting to get enough support since I lost a tiny bit of weight since I got the bra.

I think that this bra was inspired by Panache Jasmine but it is so much better. The narrow wires and the cup construction remind me of Ewa Michalak SF bras. I wonder why Bravissimo discontinued it? Maybe the color wasn't popular? It's really a good bra...

This bra is not owned any more

  What a great find for you! I just hopped over to eBay to see if I could find one for myself, no luck. For anyone else interested, there is one seller on eBay, they spell Camila with 2 “L”s, and they have various cup sizes with bands between 34-38.

  That looks like a great bra! I really like that colour.

  That is so gorgeous on you! I got lured in by the sale price on that and took a risk buying it in a 32HH (normally I'm 32Hish) - and that stretchy fabric band along the top of the cups was laughably loose, fluttering in the wind like a sad sailboat at sea on a dull day. But it taught me that perhaps I'm not as FOT as I had thought! Had to return - and am a little jelly at how beautiful that is on you. Major score!

  This gives you an awesome shape...looks great!

• veggiechic Check Bravissimo sale section again in few days. I usually check bravissimo sale section like once a week to see if something good in my size was added and just last week Camilla was still there, few 30 band sizes were available. This week the bra is not to be found. Sometimes bras "came back" to the sale section later.

  atp Keep looking into the sale section at bravissimo. I saw so many bras coming back after a while when they were returned maybe your size comes back. Also interesting that you found it to run quite big (of course because you ordered 1 size up) but I think the bra runs generous in that top section, 32J was a good fit me but on smaller days I think I could even size down to 32HH.

  Great colour and lovely fit on you! What a pity they discontinued it..might be worth asking Bravissimo if they plan on bringing it back or if they have any other very similar cut.
