I just tried this on for size, so it's just first impressions. It's very pretty. It's very delicate and light. Weighs nothing. Band is stretchy mesh and I can see it stretching out fast. But, I'm on the loosest hook, so I'd have some room to tighten. Straps are nice and not too wide. Underwires are just tad wider than I'm used to now with EM, but they're still pretty darn good. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is the soft tack on the gore. I tend to like them glued to my sternum lol
I also feel it looks just a tad too small ...in the cup. Just ever so slightly. Not for quadding, but coverage.
For that reason, I haven't decided yet if I'll keep it. But, the lightness of it and matching Brazilians give it brownie points.
I'll add measures later tonight. I also have a 65I and I will model and measure that one too. It's clearly too big, but makes me wish I had the 65H. You see, I meant to order 65G and 65H, but...wine. I clicked on 65I. Lol Read more 81 more words
When I saw it, I thought it would be too big. When I measured it, I thought it would be too wide and small. Neither the first, not the second. It fits. I'm so surprised! It's a light grey bra, very simple very everyday. It's made of 2 matching jaquardes( for the cups) and microfibre( for the band). The wires are not narrow, but stretching the band doesn't affect them. The gore is so narrow for its height, the wires are situated extremely close to each other without overlapping. The gore is not decorated, the only bows are situated where the straps attach the cups. The cups are 3-parts, lightly padded, not very projected at the bottom. But I have enough room even for my fuller days. It's a full cup bra without any elastic at the top edge. The cups slightly gap when I move, but it's not visible under my clothes. The band is not very snug, but it's comfortable for me on the second hooks. The bra fits 28FF/28G/30F/30FF if you're between sizes.
Such a lovely bra! How I wish Gaia would expand their range to include my size. I love their styles and patterns. Maybe some day!
I'm amazed at the shaping Gaia's Lilianna gives you, MiskiDwie ! So round and lifted from the side! Thank you for including profile shots. This angle determines whether I'll try a brand that's new to me.
I have the same issue with the bottom elastic on the band biting into me when I wear the Wacoal How Perfect Wire Free Bra. After a couple hours, it can become uncomfortable. I haven't figured out whether this is linked to a temporary situation, like bloating or hot weather, or whether I have to expect it every time I wear the bra. Will you please update us if you find a solution to the Lilianna doing this to you?
About me: center full and close set, narrow roots, full on bottom with tall, gradually sloping roots that make me functionally even in some respects.
I purchased this bra after trying the 65F Sandy Semi Soft and finding it too small in the cups. I find that Gaia bands run big/are very stretchy, and that's the case with this bra, as well. I lack the upper fullness to fill the top of the cup, so it gapes/falls flat (it's too structured to wrinkle). I really wish this bra were a good fit for me because it has quite a lot of room at the gore and the wires run parallel for longer than most, so the splay at the bottom is minimal. There may be something about the fit that I'm overlooking or missing, but I can't tell what that would be.
I think this would work well for someone with similar attributes to mine but with more upper fullness and someone who doesn't mind a stretchy band. For the right person, it would make a lovely t-shirt bra.
First fit! A beautiful multiway with adjustable, removable straps. Black lace with ornaments over red fabric. Two contrasting vertical seams and lace band at the top of the cups. It also has side support, which I like - I think it helps a bit with volume escaping to the sides. I love it. Underwires are perfect for me and the cups are not too seperated. My breasts seem to be closer together than those of others with wide roots. The band wears out fast as I experienced with the 65F I purchased first. Other than that I think I am too unexperienced to judge quality.
The very basic beige bra with 3-section cotton lined slightly padded cups (no push-ups), fully adjustable straps, firm band that didn't stretch over time and no decorations that could show under the clothes. On Gaia's stock photos it seemed to have a bit satiny finish, but in real life the outer cups and band are made entirely of matte microfiber.
That's really nice looking!
