Ok so I actually have many many bras still to add and measure, can't seem to find time for it as I've been too busy for months. But I hurried to add this specific bra for you all because it's on crazy sale right now!
Got it on Amazon (U.K.) for 12,90 five days ago - today I noticed it's down to 6,90 😯
*If you want to snatch one as well; the Alles brand size chart shown is sort of adequate, my overbust measures ~100 cm, underbust ~76 cm and the 70I fits me well (so I'd say size down in the band from the chart).*
May even ...try to return this and order another (or two!) for the crazy sale price, as it's a pretty awesome bra.
Construction / fit: Narrow wires, pretty deep cups - somehow they feel deeper than they measure? It's a three part cup, lightly padded design with most projection at the apex. I haven't worn this out and about yet, but I'm not quite sure if the bottom of the cups is projected enough? Seems there could be some folding after multiple wears. After S&S the cups are filled well, and the set / placement of the straps does not bother my armpits as much as other (Polish or other) bras. Band fits me well in my standard Polish 70 (in UK brands I'm mostly a 30). Band material is a simple black mesh, this can dig in a bit so I prefer lined bands. But it's a pretty standard 3 hook band, nothing to complain about.
For reference, this 70I fits similar to an Ewa Michalak 70H I think. Or a Comexim 70J/K. And an average U.K. 30H I'd say.
(I actually ordered a 65J as well, to compare, fits equally well in the cups but the band is unnecessarily tight. May hold onto it for if this band stretches quickly, as mesh bands tend to do.)
Design: I had never tried this brand but I'm definitely satisfied with their aesthetics and value for money! This bra is well made, even if the materials are not too luxurious - the satiny-shiny floral fabric feels slightly cheap. The added lace gives it more depth and richness imo. Personally I love the floral print, but it may be too granny-ish for some. For the price it is certainly a win!
Briefs: Definitely run small. Ordered the high briefs in a 16/XL but they're t.i.g.h.t.! Just wearable but they feel like a 12 in other brands. For comparison, I comfortably wear a 14 in Panache/Cleo or Curvy Kate briefs, 40 in Ewa M.
I'll leave it at this for now, can definitely recommend this bra!
Edit: both bras and the brief arrived in cute individual powder pink 'Alles' boxes by the way 😊 A bit of a waste of packing material imo, but pretty cute and creates an extra 'gift-to-myself' effect (; Read more 372 more words
I bought two of these bras from Kontri.pl (70F & 70H). The website didn't have a shipping option for the USA, so I used Xoom to pay for shipping separately after Kontri sent me their bank information. Overall, for a company that doesn't normally ship to the USA, I felt like the process went pretty smoothly.
I love this bra already! The band fabric feels soft, and combination of sheer stripes with dark blue polka dots is very cute. The inside fabric of the cups feels like a smooth cotton. It's only 10% cotton though, with the rest being some variation of polyester. Excellent quality for the price!
The 70F fits me, so that means this 70H is going to be up for grabs!
What I said Xoom, and how do you use it to ship to the US? The bra is really pretty. How do the wires fit? (Narrow? Tall?)
Xoom is an international bank wire transfer company that is owned by PayPal (I think). Kontri reached out to me with a shipping quote and their bank info, and I sent payment through Xoom. The transaction fee was only $4.99.
I would say that the wires on my 70F are about as narrow as my Ewa bras, but a tiny bit taller.
I'm a sucker for dots :-) Cute! Thanks for the information about Xoom, too.
Another Polish bra bought on a whim! And I love it. It fits great. I'm on a mission to try any and every Polish manufacturer I can, and happily, Alles did not disappoint.
Hello Can I ask you where did you purchase the Lady Cameo bra Brantly 707 you have.? I love the projection this bra gives, I think the pointy shape it gives is very sexy but I sold the bra that I had like this because it was to small for me. As you have large boobs like me I was hoping I might be able to get it in my size. Thanks Catherine
KateWild I purchased my Lady Cameo bras on Ebay. From a U.S. based seller named DeeDeesbras. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for the info I did a search for DeeDeebras on Ebay and it seems they have stopped selling. I love looking at the bras you find to wear as it gives me hope I can find bras myself in a large size. Must check out the Polish bras as they seem to come in large cup sizes. If you find any bras like Lady Cameo which gives projection like they do please let me know unlike your boyfriend my hubby loves the 1950s sweater girl look. Catherine
It's an extremely nice bra! It looks more expensive then I've payed for it: no excess threads or fabric to cut, the seams are straight and precise. The bra is made of soft fabric and soft stretchy lace. The fabric is lined with about unstretchy thin fabric ( the cups) and stretchy mesh ( the band). The cups have side slings for side support and the upper edge is finished with thin elastic. The lace is peachy pink and the fabric is grey with cream and pink/red roses. All together looks chicly. I wish I could have bottoms for this bra... The gore is decorated with ...little bow and a charm. I'm not sure that this charm is right fro this bra, maybe I'll cut it. The band is true to size( that means I'll have to shorten it) and has 4 columns of hooks and eyes. I'm not sure if the cups are true to size. The seem to be on the smaller side. I can stretch them till 30 cm depth, but if you'e FOT you won't be able to use all these centimeters as there are elastics on the upper edges. I'd say this size is about 30FF, maybe FOB 30G. The shape is not perfectly round. It's more natural, and upper edge cuts into my breast tissue ( I can never deal with those elastics!). All together this bra is comfortable and nice looking everyday bra Read more 133 more words
Nice and comfy, however I prefer to have a more apple-shaped breasts https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> than in this bra.
I was curious to try this brand as I had never heard of them before until I found one of their bras on Amazon.de Two days later he bra arrived and I just had to try it on.
The wires fit like a charm, the cups fit, the upper lace has some stretch to it so it avoids any quad boob for me. As for quality, to my untrained eye, it looks good and the bra, even though I am not into pink, is pretty.
But my big big issue with this bra is, the fabric is too high cut underneath my armpits, it would rub my armpits raw if I wore it. This is such a let down and it seems, companies do not take into account, that this is an issue.
The bra is going back, much to my dismay, but I just can not take the armpit rubbing.
This is a maternity bra which I ordered purely based on prettiness, and not realizing it is lightly padded. It has a high cotton content and is quite soft, so it's probably comfortable in the correct size. I chose the size based on the brand's size table, and despite going down one band size (they suggest EUR80/UK36 for an 81 cm/32 in bust!!!) the band still runs a little large (and being soft probably adds to its feeling loose. Perhaps good for a maternity bra though) . The same is not true for the cup, which is probably truer to size if not on the small side, and ended up being much too small.
This bra is so pretty, but the cups are disappointingly small. It gives me major quadriboob, and my nipples almost aren't even covered. I wish it fit. Unfortunately I can't find it currently for sale in a larger cup size.
Dear LucyLeche Sorry to hear the cup of this bra ran small! One quick question, though. Do you recall the underwires on this bra? Were they flexible, as they tend to be with nursing/maternity bras? Or were they regular? P.S. If you're interested in further exploring this brand, I and my Polish parcel forwarding service might be able to help.
What I said Xoom, and how do you use it to ship to the US?
The bra is really pretty. How do the wires fit? (Narrow? Tall?)
