32J

Used to fit

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...

  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.

32HH

Fits

I have another one of these in a 32J that is now too big. See my review here 32J - Bravissimo » Camilla Bra (LN597) . It was has more info on the bra itself. Since I really liked the bra I wanted to try the smaller size. Unfortunately it did not work out.

What I loved on this bra: that the wires are fairly narrow and the cups are deep and have lots of center room. (Note that I have to wear at least a 32J in Alana but can get away with 32HH on this). So I say that the cup volume would be ... good for me, it fits. The band is okay too, it is on the bigger side. I also noticed that it stretches out quickly with wear on my 32J.

Why do I not like it? First the Camilla bra is not the most supportive bra out there. It has a very thin stretchy lace at the top of the cups and much projection. The cups are very open on top and allow lots of center room. I almost get cleavage in this bra. But it also allows a lot of movement. It was okay though for occasional wear.
The 32HH now has only a two hook fastening, a thinner band and thinner straps. It makes the bra feel really flimsy and unsupportive. I feel like I would have to adjust my boobs all day. I also feel like my boobs push the bra down on the front and the band rides up at the back. It is a too weak construction for my size.

  Oh that's pretty! Looks like a narrower center gore too. I might have to try this, with my smaller cup size it may be a good fit. 🤔
- confused The gore is very narrow. In 32J it is overlapping. (It's not supposed to to that, but it does on me, which is a good thing since I prefer a narrow gore) Yes I recommend the bra if you don't need that much support. It's on sale now for 22£.
- I really do love the look of this bra, I am sorry it didn't work out for you though :(
  
  I wonder why they decided to go with only 2 rows for the hook fastenings?

A balconette that has a stretch lace upper. This bra gave a really round shape, upfront, narrow, and supported. That being said, the straps...THE STRAPS. So uncomfortable. They came up high on the sides and were very wide. They rubbed just in trying the bra on and I found them to be painful. They would absolutely chafe me. If this is an issue for you, do not buy this bra. The upper lace was also very thin and stretchy. I did not have any real issue with it other than it just didn't feel supportive there to my soft tissue. I felt as though I could fall out ... of the top. For someone less soft than I am, this could be a winner. Wires were not an issue and stayed out of my armpit area. Gore was pretty narrow. Wires and gore were less firm and "intrusive" than that of a Cleo balconette. Band was true to size. The bottom of the band has an extra addition of some lacy elastic. I found it didn’t lay flat and rolled up, so while it isn’t an issue, it’s useless. This could work for a variety of sizes and needs, it just depends on what you find comfortable.
