Sleep Top Nina in 65K

This bra is added for data purposes only.

Original review from October 2017 when I first got the bra:

Nina is a “Sleep Top” or lounge bra. It doesn’t have wires, and does not separate the breasts. It’s mainly black with light pink accents. I ordered it in 65K because Ewa was not willing to make it in 60KK, and I figured for sleep/lounging, the looser band wouldn’t be an issue.

The band measures 23.5” to a max stretch of 31.5”. It is a front closure with 14 hooks and 1 (yes just one) row of eyes. This doesn’t add much for flexibility on ... fit.

The cups are more like hills within meadowlands with very little definition. Without wires or more defined cups, the breasts are pushed together. While there’s not much for measurements with this set up, I can tell you that the height at the center of the “cup” was 10.5” and that the wing was 6.75” with 9” at the gore or hooks.

The straps have a limited range, and the quality I found to be lacking, particularly in regards to the stitching.

As for fit, I did not find this supportive enough, but I think that has more to do with the band than it does with the lack of defined cups. My biggest issue was that the sides are too tall under the armpit, and by morning I had painful red marks in and around my armpit. This could also have been acerbated by the loose band, but overall I just don’t see me attempting to wear a second time without shortening the band and lowering the wing.

Update June 2018:
I had attempted to modify this bra several months ago by taking in the back to make it more like a 28. After this alteration the band measured 22.4” and stretched to 30.5” max. I also lowered the armpit area so the wing was 6” afterwards. This was still not an ideal fit and less than comfortable, so I never wore it. It also didn’t work well with my Isavela sternum bras, which I prefer to wear at night to help combat those chest wrinkles caused by age and side sleeping.


Update; Nov 2018 I have pulled this one back out of storage and do now wear it on occasion. It isn't terrible and is a nice break from my other night tops. I added new photos for current fit.
