Continuing my journey of trying to find ABTF in my new size after losing 40+ pounds and having a baby.

This bra is probably the closest I’ve found to a proper fit, but it’s still not quite there. I’ve marked it as fitting, even though it’s slightly too big and the band is also too big. I got this one on Brastop, and returns are a PITA, so I’m going to wear it as long as I can until I get another bra that fits or buy another Nessa in a different size (I’m thinking 70J might be the right fit for me, maybe? If not, I know 70K will fit for sure.

I’m not new to Nessa bras - I used to have an Angela, Coral, and Simone in my other size. The Juliette is exactly the same as the other Nessa bras I’ve owned - material is very pretty, but not super soft (it’s actually somewhat scratchy.) I’m not a huge fan of the color, but that’s a minute detail. It has side boning, which typically bothers me and is uncomfortable but because I sized up in the band, the boning actually isn’t noticeable. The top of the cups are quite open and are lined with elastic. The wires are fairly narrow. There’s more space at the apex than the bottom, so I would say the projection is not immediate (I find Kris Line bras to have more immediate projection). Straps and band are super stretchy and comfortable.

Like I mentioned earlier, the band is too big for me. I measure a 32 band (snug measurement is like 30-31”, so even the 32” band is not tight-tight). This band stretches to 35”. The cups have space at the top by the straps, and depending on how my boobs decide to place themselves each day, this bra can actually fit quite well or quad.

My boobs are projected, pendulous, soft, and if I were to guess they’re even vertical fullness, center horizontal fullness, low-set, and short root height.

• I have a 70J in this exact same bra, lol, and I currently measure about 32GG !!

  But I know some people like to size up in Polish in the band but I just stay with 70 band so far with Nessa. But I also like a really firm band.

  I actually ordered Nessa straight from the UK (MioDestino - their website doesn't work anymore though. technically, I ordered through Fruugo.ca but that's a whole other store) and they had the UK sizes listed; when I ordered 32GG UK in Nessa they sent me 70J.

  I have another Nessa bra, same size, but with a slightly different cut, Clarisse Side Support https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnpep/ which is a 4-part cup (it has the addt'l side support panel) I mean, they measure about the same, only Clarisse has a taller gore and longer wires by 1.2 inches

  If you get all the same style, Nessa is really consistent, at least that is my experience with them. It says on Nessa's website that they specialize in soft, large-cup bras.

  BraOdyssey I’m actually really bummed about MioDestino because that’s where I got a couple of my Nessa bras previously. I’m guessing they probably went out of business if the website isn’t there anymore. 😔

• I know, they had Gorsenia, too. Plus, I think they had a domestic returns portal.

• I got two of my Nessa's from a Polish store, Jagna.pl

  You have to email them what you want to order - I wouldn't order unless you plan on not returning anything though.
