This is a closer fit than the 75J, but the band is firmer, the left cup will eventually fall out and the right seems to be well contained. The gore does not tack but only about an inch off my chest. It is not in my armpits (a legit miracle I'm telling you)
mamacatts I gotta ask how you got Dalia bras in the US. Where did you get them from and how was the shipping cost?
I ordered them directly from Dalia and I have tried to return them twice and it’s been returned twice after making it all the way to Poland. I’m almost at the cost of the bras themselves! So I gave up and I’m trying to sell them here or eBay. (I’m not new to overseas mailing, I’ve been penpalling since I was 16 - so 20plus years but Polish post is absolutely awful!)
I desperately wanted to love this bra. The straps are heavenly wide. I felt so lifted, however as you can see due to my irregularity in breast sizes the left breast, again doesn't play well! I had much cut into the top of my breast and spilled out. I was concerned with the band as it's a Polish brand, I've heard they run tight compared to American standards, however I'm happy to report his one at first felt tight when I attempted to fasten it but upon getting it on, it was a comfortable tightness and felt very supportive. So it appears in this brand that 75 does equal a 34 US band size. Cup size is I.
The band is tighter than the soft cup, so I would say this is more of a 32 (70) band than a 34 (75). The cups are okay for my left side but as a center full I would fall out, and the right side is far too large. The gore does not tack. Fabric is very comfortable. No itchy lace feeling.
I wanted a swimsuit with sufficiently narrow wires, and the Dalia delivers in that regard. Unfortunately their sizing is a little inconsistent, and so I found this to be about one cup size too large. The bottoms, which I got in large at the suggestion of Dalia, turned out to be a bit too small so I will have to order XL ones. I fit a size 42 pants in EM and an L in Freya.
Good - Fully adjustable straps - Narrow wires - Gives me a lifted, rounded shape
Bad - Just one hook, so weight is not distributed as much on the band as with a bra - Only one row of hooks, so I cannot adjust for stretching except with alterations - Center gore is on the wide side, and a bit too wide for me - Thick, lined fabric which will take a while to dry
I like the colour of this bra. Something about the fit on the outside of the cups was not ideal for me, although I couldn't pinpoint what it is. I've found with Dalia, perhaps because they are cheaper bras, there are sometimes problems - whether with specific models or just specific bras I'm not sure.
There's also some variability with size between different bras. This (75I) was a smidgen too large for me, while the Lara (75H) was a tiny bit too small, the Audrey (75I) was spot on, and the Olimpia (75I) was far too big for me.
Dalia bras are loose in the band by Polish standards, and I found the 75 quite comfortable; I usually wear a 34 but often go to a 36 with brands like Panache.
The British sizing on the label is complete rubbish, of course. It's effectively a 34GG, not the imaginary 34I on the label.
This bra seems fairly comfortable although the gore is a bit too wide for me and I may need to sew it a bit. The cups are a good width for me and so I plan to keep it despite the gore.

I have a Dalia Olimpia in 80G which I'm happy with, but which is a little bit too small in the cups. The band also stretched out quickly and was already a bit loose to begin with, so going down a band size and up a cup size seemed like a good idea. However, the cups on this bra are a full cup size too large for me.

Hi seqik I've just discovered the Dalia's K27 5 part tulip cup bra construction but e-mailing dalia about US shipping got no response, Dalia never shows up on eBay, and twoja bielizna doesn't seem to ever stock my size (95E).
I NEED HELP! I"d like to try ordering by phone but do not speak Polish. Would you be open to helping me order this bra in exchange for fair compensation?
I would really appreciate it and would welcome any advice!
