Dalia Brigitte and Roisin were the 2 K27 colorways that made me fall for Dalia 2 years ago, in 2015. But they belonged to the 2013 collection and were long sold-out in my size, at least in the obvious places. Ah, I was less resourceful then. Imagine my surprise when this Xmas I stumbled upon the beautiful Dalia Brigitte on a Canadian wesbite!
Sizing: The K27 5-part cup bra runs 1 cup size big in my size range. My bra size is 40:6/90:6 or 42:5/95:5 depending on band comfort, but I size down to 90:5 = 90E in this model for it to fit.
Fit/Appearance: Unique "tulip" cup with 4 ...bottom parts closed off with a 5th part is effectively an evolved balconette which can accommodate a bunch of projection at the wire and apex. Gives a lifted and rounded profile. Breasts position on the chest wall is pretty central. The cups are taller/full coverage which makes them great for modesty and people with average to taller roots. I gape at the strap a little.
The bra itself is made of smooth, GLOSSY aqua satin There is sexy sheer embroidered mesh detailing in the gore and right outside the cup before the wing + band section. The embroidered mesh adds decoration but can scratch/irritate the armpit area. Note - there is side boning in the wing which can and will bend on fuller figures. The straps are soft and are nearly 30mm - widest straps I have ever seen - meaning the bra will remain comfortable for G+ cups. However, the strap placement is wide, so it favors wider shoulders.
Availability: The manufacturer delivers to the EU. Many polish lingerie e-store carry them and a number ship internationally. SEE ABOVE for a Canadian distributor.
Thanks for your informative review! This looks like a great fitting bra. I will have to look for a US seller. Your sizing information is very helpful.
"Evolved balconette"-- love your description and the COLOR :-)
Thank you, all! finallygotboobs Eye Kandee Lingerie (linked in review) ships to the US for about $10 USD. Alternatively, I haven't looked for Polish distributors of Dalia who ship to the US in a while - good luck hunting. I import Dalia, Alles and other hard-to-find Polish bras into the US a few times a year so message me if there is something you really love!
This is such a lovely color, and I love the cup construction. Any chance you could measure it? Pretty please? :) :) :)
Sizing: Based on my experience with Dalia Irina Big (K27) and Dalia Anna Big (K27), the K27 5-part cup bra runs 1 cup size big in my size range. My bra size is 40:6/90:6 or 42:5/95:5 depending on band comfort, but I had to size down to 90:5 = 90E for this model to fit.
Fit/Appearance: Unique "tulip" cup with 4 bottom parts closed off with a 5th part is effectively an evolved balconette which can accommodate a bunch of projection at the wire and apex.

The bra itself is made of satiny basic color fabrics, not too glossy but nice and smooth. I own both the black and the beige colors. There is embroidered mesh detailing in the gore and right outside the cup before the wing + band section. The embroidered mesh adds decoration but can scratch/irritate the armpit area. Note - there is side boning in the wing which can and will bend on fuller figures. The straps are soft and are nearly 30mm - widest straps I have ever seen - meaning the bra will remain comfortable for G+ cups. However, the strap placement is wide, so it favors wider shoulders.
Availability: Dalia price range is about $10 cheaper than Comexim. The manufacturer delivers to the EU. For US-based customers, using an EU-based parcel forwarding service definitely works. I have liked http://www.borderlinx.com/US/en/ - the services several shipping addresses, including one in Germany, which borders Poland! They ship parcels with DHL which meant that shipping did cost $35 BUT my package got from Frankfurt to San Francisco in 4 days! Emailing the store for shipping inquiries has not worked for me in the past. Read more 202 more words
