    BM Antonina 60L

    This is my third attempt at the BM Antonina, having tried it in 60K and 60KK prior. While the 60KK fit fine initially, my breasts went through a growth spurt that made all my bras suddenly too small and prompted me to order up a cup. While that growth spurt turned out to just be a temporary 4 week swelling spree, I’d already ordered this and several others in the larger size.

    For the measurements:
    All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band ... measurements for the same reason.

    The band measures 22.5” and stretches to a max of 27.25”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

    Cup Depth as measured by:
    1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
    This measurement is: 13”
    2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
    This measurement is: 16”


    I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

    The cup height is 11” and 6” wide, with a gore of 4.15” tall and 0.55” wide, and the wing is 4.5” tall.
    To compare, the 60K Antonina was 15.5” deep and 9.5” tall, while the 60KK was 16.5” deep and 10.15” tall.

    As for fit, the gore is 1 finger off my sternum, and the cups feel great. The strap is too wide set for perfect comfort and the upper lace is barely tensed but still wearable, especially at higher tide days. I am mid cycle, closer to low tide than high tide. While this one actually measures smaller in singular depth than my Antonina 60KK, the cup on this one is definitely more spacious for sure. The 60KK is too small at the base of the cup now, while this one feels roomier. I think this fit would technically be classified as too big, but the 60KK is too small, so as long as this one is comfortable on, then I am classifying it as a fit.

      Looks great! Tbh I've learned that I'd rather the loose lace at the top and roomier cups than uncomfortable smaller bras.

      brasaremean I agree, but the loose lace always bothers me so much. Like someone is going to notice the extra wrinkles under a shirt. :|

      I am honestly more bothered with the way it looks like my boobs are being shelved but it is so so much more comfortable I'm over it by now.

      I typically wear sweatshirts so I'm not worried about that. It's my brutally honest husband's comments that kill me. But the 60KKs are painfully small so I will take a bit of looseness on top over painfully small regardless of his comments. :-D

      I hate being squeezed by tight cups :X

    Didn't fit

    Cups were WAYYYY too tall. Pair that with the 16.6' depth? Comical. Band was okay, but ran bigger than a true 28 I think. I love Antonina but this was a fit fail for me.

      I think I know why she is making them so tall. She thinks the bra should be stuffed like this.

    • Oof. I think she forgets that not everyone has tall roots :/

      Haha! I saw that this morning and had to fight the urge to add a comment to it pointing out she is getting no support! Her breasts are hanging below the band level, so how on earth is that considered a good fit?!? Ridiculous and what I'd call a back breaker. Good thing she's wearing a corset for actual support.

      So much for the lifted gravity defying fit of the original Antonina!

    • 1

      Right.. I'm not certain if that's even comfortable. Doesn't look like it to me at least D:

    • 2

      That bra is too small for her. I more meant that you are supposed to size down until the top of your breast is mushrooming out of the top. I can do that with my 60J S, but it’s more of a “goddamn that hurts” than “ooh sexy”.

    • 2

      I agree DerangedDragons19. Painful really. And with that much overhang on the cups, you know the wire below the breasts is digging into the ribs by default. Ouch.....

    • 1

      Sovavosi yeah, I agree. Size down in the cup is what Ewa suggests for the more rounded look but that one is beyond ridiculous. 😬
      And sizing down to the point of compression and wire pains is not fun at all..... I get a better look with the 60KK but damn they are painful. 😖

      Photos up!

    • This one doesn't look bad either! 💙

    • 1

      I actually kinda thought that too. The wrinkling bothers me though :/

    • 1

      If it's comfortable, who cares? It can easily be hidden under clothing so no one would know, and you'd get some use out of it instead of losing out. I say wear it and wear it proudly!

      May as well 😂 I'll have to give it a go :)

      That IG photo is ridiculous. Her breasts are just laying there. Not uplifted and supported. WTH

    • Exactly Calluna! If that's the look and support Ewa is promoting, I think I'll pass.

    • The wrinkling in this doesn't look that bad to me... but all of my BMs are wrinkly at this point 🙃

      Yea the issue with EM bras seems to be that in order to fill out the bottom nicely (and comfortably) you just have to deal with the empty top... my 70Gs are still my most comfy bras but all three of them are flappy loose at the top and it's really annoying. I'd deal if the band wasn't also loose and 65GG is no sister size and is a completely different fit...

    • Only with the BMs right now. My SFs are about 1.5” shorter.

      oh, I'm so sorry ...🙁
