    Didn't fit

    My shape: tallish, widish, splayed roots, very close set at the top; evenly full top and bottom; slightly center full; pendulous; need a good bit of depth at the wire. Best fits are Panache 34G/36FF.

    I sized up in the band and sized down an extra cup size because of my previous experience with Ava.

    This one thing eclipses everything else about this bra for me: the wires are so darn narrow! At 5.3" wide they are the narrowest of any bra I have tried to date. That's not a good thing for me, not at all. I cannot get all of my tissue into the ... cups. It's possible I need a larger size cup in this style as the gore, sides, and cup height are all a little bit low compared to what I usually wear. I'm not sure if 80H will work though because while the wires are pretty firm and almost tack at the gore, the band seems likes it's made for a more V-shaped torso. It's quite snug along the bottom elastic but the wires don't hug my sides at the top. There are only 2 hooks spaced 1cm apart and the back is pretty skinny at the closure, so that could be part of it. Of course all the above things that are disadvantages for me may work better for you!

    I love the simple yet not plain design of this and the play of the name "Honey." Not only is it a honey color, but the embroidery of the upper cups is in the shape of a honeycomb. I like the texture of the fabric covering the cups too. It's soft but may not be very durable. Just in handling the bra to photograph it I noticed 2 tiny pulls on one cup. One would have to be very careful storing and washing it. The tops of the cups don't cut in a whole lot even in a too-small size so I think this would be OK for FOT shapes or tall roots. There seems to be good depth at the wire and enough room near the gore for center fullness.

    Altogether Honey is well-made of soft materials and very pretty. If you are close to the top of the range for your band size sister size up.

      I had the same experience with wires in the SS5 cut - very narrow. But in my case it turned out to be a great fit. It was Martha, I have reviewed it some time ago. I was surprised but very pleased. And I think that it is very likely that you need to size up in the cups as I got more coverage in my size (but I am also very petite so this might be the main reason). I like this honey pattern too, looks nice :)

      WelshCorgiPembroke thanks for your feedback! I remember reading your review. I bought this on eBay from Other Eden and they don't list what cuts the bras are, just model numbers. Where's the best place to find out more about Gaia's different cuts?

      I do think I need a larger cup in this but the wires might still be too narrow.

    • Swoon: honeycomb ;-) That is a narrow wire!

      finallygotboobs They have made the comparison of the most popular of their cuts (SS1, SS2, SS5 and SS10) on their website but looks like it's only in Polish. https://www.gaia.com.pl/lp/blog/2016/10/31/bielizna-gaia-bez-tajemnic/ They included only basic information though, there is no reference to breast shapes, so this might not be as helpful as it could be. You might try to translate it using google translate, but I checked it and the result was ridiculous :D I may try to make my own comparison using this article from their site and add my personal experience in the blog post (including the rest of their cuts too as I've tried them all except the SS1) but it requires lots of time and unfortunately I am really busy now.

      WelshCorgiPembroke thanks! You did a lot of work as it is! Any time you get around to writing a post like that I will be sure to read it. I've pretty much busted my bra budget now anyway! 😂
