My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots.
Special thanks to MamaPagan for sending me this bra (and many others!) to try on!
Appearance and Fit: This bra is the same fabric as the Gina balconette. (You can see my review for that one here: https://www.bratabase.com/bra/diur2/)
This fits differently, of course, as it's a different cut, but the straps and the wires are too wideset for me. The underwire pokes into my armpits: not painfully, but enough so that it's annoying.
It's odd to me that this size of Gaia bras doesn't fit me, even though it's technically my "correct" bra size. The sister size, 65I, fits me so much better. The gore doesn't tack on the 70J, which leads me to believe there's not quite enough projection or depth in this cup. Plus, I always get gaping on bras that don't have the stretch lace tops.
The band on this one feels a touch stretchy, but I really think it's because I'm so used to Ewa's tight bands.

Ginger 70J
I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.

Ginger is a padded semi-demi bra. The padding is a light foam lining. The pattern is tan with micro white dots and white accents, same as Gaia’s Gina. The cups have 4 sections-2 vertical on bottom with 1 horizontal on top with 1 small rectangular part where the straps connect, The straps are stationary, unlike Gina which are removable

The band measures 22.5” to a max of 34”. This makes it great for a 28 band to a comfortable 32 band. There are 3 hooks ... and 3 rows of eyes.

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: 10.2”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 11.5”

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 was 8”, and the straps are wide set, which is a common issue.

I also tried Ginger Maxi in 70K, plus Gina in 65K, 70I, and 70J. Gina is similar to Ginger except for the cups are in 3 vertical sections and more of a demi style than the Ginger.
