I am sooo not the Lupoline expert, but I'm still going to give you my thoughts. Tried this on mid-day and I have not taken it off: it's comfy! Now, are all Lupoline bras like this, or just this one (this was one of their more expensive styles), I'm not sure b/c this is only my second Lupoline. I've been interested to try out the brand since I read about it buuuut I'm a little confused re: sizing. Following their size chart online https://esklep.lupoline.pl/content/6-jak-sie-mierzyc (you will need google translate) it puts me in this size, 75H, with 77cm underbust and 102 cm bust.

Previously, I tried a Lupoline bra last year in size 70J EU and that was too tight in the band and too big in the cups, which is why I tried going up a band size (note: I like a very tight band!) and down a cup size, too. There's still a bit of space at the top of each cup, so I think this brand is quite "upper fullness friendly" I would say I have average root height, this is probably a decent brand for people to try who have taller roots and/or upper fullness - at least this style. To be fair, I'm not sure if every bra is cut the same though. I'm not sure if I could size down to 75G though, I think the cup would be too small for my larger side.

As the day progressed, I took my measurements again. Now my bust measurement is 104 cm and my underbust is 78 cm (great, I gained centimeters). I did eat a salty lunch! So, perhaps this is just water retention? Anyway, as the day progressed, the cups fit better. I thought at first, I will need to do a tiny alteration - just take the top of the cups in a centimeter or so. Now I'm not sure if I need to alter it, at the least the top of the cups on my larger side seem to fit better as the day progressed, there's still space on the smaller cup.

Cup shape: not as immediately projected as Ewa Michalak BM or my Gorsenia Manila bra, there is some space btwn the underwire & my IMF. That being said the cups are comfy!! So, it's not an issue for me. The cup shape is pointy, not Madonna-Blonde-Ambition-tour-pointy, but I think this bra is more pointy than most of my other bras. A similar pointy bra is Gorsenia Amaro (at least it looks pointy on me!).

Band: tight!! Which is good b/c that means I can break it in and it will last a while, fingers crossed. This is a darker bra, so I'm not sure if the lighter colours (because of the dye) are not as tight as this. To be fair, a 78cm underbust measurement would put me up to an 80 band in Lupoline, according to their size chart. Also, the band has "sticks" on the side (side boning), they don't bother me at all.

Cup construction: 2 layers, the inner layer is black mesh and the outer layer is navy blue stretch lace. 3-part balconette: like I said before, the cups are quite tall, so I think this particular style wouldn't be good for short roots, but I'm unsure if Lupoline makes other styles that are short-root appropriate (I'm assuming they do!) There is also a thin elastic on the top of the cup.

Underwires: narrow & U-shaped like Gorsenia

Overall, it's a classic good bra to wear under dark clothing. I'm unsure if I will need to take in the top of the cups a centimeter or so. I got this from Misterna.pl (online bra store/lingerie store located in Poland which ships internationally but you will need to contact them via email to arrange shipment), so I wasn't planning to return it if it didn't fit. If you're interesting in trying this brand, and you live in the US (or other places, but I don't think they ship to Canada any more) Other Eden sells Lupoline at affordable prices and has domestic returns in the US, UK, and some other European countries.
