I'm generally not a fan of black bras--I find them incredibly boring. I want to say Czarny Tulipan needs huge big pink bows or something, but I guess that would take away from its simplicity (still I'm considering sewing a huge big pink bow on it...)
It's a very elegant, comfortable bra in the Bibi line of half-lace BMs. Half lace BMs are my summer perfection. I've been looking at the bras I bought and I'm thinking, this is all fine because it's winter right now, but what happens in the summer? Cause bulky lacy bras seem to not be very optimal for the heat we get here (35+ ... C in July). But the half lace BMs actually are just a single layer of satiny material and some stretch lace on top. Perfect.
However, because of that, they might not be a good fit to some. Full lace BMs have another layer of mesh under the lace to sort of give some shape to the breast, and then on top of it, additional shaping is provided by the lace. For a non padded bra, it's a fair amount of structure. With half-lace BMs, that element is gone. I think most really bad fits with BMs I've seen have been with the half-lace BMs exactly.
But anyway. This bra is essentially the same as my 70G - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Beżowa Perła (533), however, it runs smaller in the cup (and it shows). On my larger side in the photos you can clearly see where the seam cuts in. It's nothing special, no big deal, but a thing to note. From experience, this will stretch out and fit a little better after some wear. It's how it was with Bezowa Perla as well.
The wires are wire perfection.
I wonder if the reason this and Fuksja run small in the cup is because of the black dye... it makes the fabrics less stretchy or something. I think that would make sense. Kaska said she has no idea why they run smaller in the cup, just that they do.
And yes, I do have a Fuksja in the same size on the way...

I read somewhere black dye resulted in smaller and less stretchy fabric.
