Pretty bra and looks nice on you. Hoping you can change out those wires. Looks like torture.
hows the immediate projection? is the same as a comexim plunge?
curious if you'll try an extender (to see if its partly painful because its too tight) or bending the wires out at the gore?
ok, and one more random - I see you havent treid Ewa's BM - did you see my brown lace BM? havent washed/worn yet but it fits me very nicely. 75J - Ewa Michalak ยป Bm Naomi (809)
dbmamaz, I haven't tried the BM style, because I think I read it is considered more full coverage than other bras. And I seem to not have good luck with unlined Polish bras. I think if I try it with an extender the band will be too big, but I'll try it when I get home. I haven't tried bending the wires (at the gore) on any of my bras, because I feel like it would change the fit of the cup (like the gore wouldn't tack anymore, and it would make the cup a little too open by the gore.)
I agree it looks wonderful. Prettyncharmeuse have you tried the 3DM style? I know there's nothing brown a this moment but I think this cut is likely to fit you as you seem to have a firm breast tissue. I would be only afraid about the cup cutting into your armpits (if you want to try one, I still have my 3dm burek in 70dd).
When I was about 119 pounds, this was PERFECT. Now at 126-128 lbs, its too small, but I'm working on getting back to under 120. This review will be for when it fit for about 6 months of being between 116 and 118 pounds.
------------------------- I am absolutely DEVASTATED that Impimi closed their business!!!
I have a somewhat strange breast root shape... kind of Nike "swoosh" shape. And somehow, Impimi's underwires fit my shape perfectly! The depth of the cup fit my immediate projected shape as well. As will any unlined bra, I had to add cookies just to push my apexes up higher, because mine are naturally quite low ...and downward pointing. (Without cookies, the apex of unlined bras are empty and wrinkly despite the rest of the bra fitting.) I'm full on top, and if I had a bra that fit my shape exactly, it would be very upside down 7 shaped, and I'd rather look more balanced and even more "perky" for shirts to fit well and look flattering to my figure.
The cup top edge just barely slightly cuts into my FOT shape, but not enough to cause the cup edge to slide down and top half of the cup to wrinkle. There's a little bit of fabric bulk where the lower and upper parts of the cup meet, so not recommended for thin shirts, but otherwise the cup looks smooth when filled with my breast. Straps aren't too wide, so no problem there.
The bra is beige. Boring, right? WRONG!! The lace on this bra is gorgeous! So shiny, so floral; so pretty! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> There are little silver circles in the edging of the lace, and a complimentary sparkly dangly decal with a bow at the center. A bow on each strap, and the strap fabric has a picot edge. You can really see the thought to details to make this a "nude" bra for pale skin, and yet they still wanted it to be not boring. Speaking of the color, it's slightly warmer and darker than my skin, but almost a perfect match!
Other random note: the price was unbeatable. During their sale, I got two bras plus shipping for only $40.85!!
So, now the bad.... I don't exactly remember why I sized up in band; maybe suggestions I read...? Well anyway, this was a bad idea. The whole band is made of a stretchy fabric, not really a power mesh. The cradle is lined with what I assume is supposed to be a tricot, but it doesn't prevent the stretch that much. The elastics are VERY elastic, so overall, the band feels super stretchy. With any tension on the straps at all, the wings have a curvy wavy shape in the back, even with the band on the tightest hook. This causes the elastics to cut in, while the wings stretch, so it creates back bulges rather than creates a smooth back. So beautiful appearance in the front of the bra, but the band fabrics are lacking in support and smoothness.
Also in regards to the band, despite the underwires fitting perfectly, they are HARD. They must be punched steel rather than the nice rounded, coated wires. Even though the band is too stretchy, the underwires DIG in at the gore, the sides... like, all over, even under my breast, which is rare for me to get discomfort there unless I slouch all day, forcing the underwires to dig into my ribs. I've tried bending the wires, but considering it digs all around, it hasn't helped much. So sadly, uncomfortable at the end of the day. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Overall, this was an awesome unlined bra. I really wish that Impimi would have been successful, because I would have bought more in the next band size down and in more colors if they had made any. Maybe even could have purchased the white and dyed it. I'll have to make some patterns from the cups and hopefully find some more comfortable underwires in the same shape. Read more 569 more words
I hear you - Impimi is my best fitting, most comfortable, perfect bra. I had an order in for 5 more in multiple sizes for back up but ended up doing a PayPal claim because they shut down and never shipped. I keep checking EBay allegro.pl in Ireland and allegra.pl in case they show up...let's hope!
jennyanni Oh didn't know about those pages! I'll keep an eye out too. :)
I bought the Impimi Nicol Push Up in black and beige colorway. They're both moulded with thick material, maybe that's the difference between the normal bra and the "push up"? They come with removable padding, which is thicker than EM cookies. The band is similar to EM and Comexim very tight.
The black colorway seems to be a bit roomier in the cup than the beige one. The beige causes slightly quadboobs and I cannot wear it with the padding. I wear a cookie on my smaller side in the black one.
My problem with both bras is the vertical seam. It shows through clothes and it looks like I have in-cup-quadding which I don't. That really bothers me. It's more visible when I'm wearing the beige bra. The black one has it as well but slightly less visible. The second problem are the gores which are really painful just after wearing them for a few minutes.
I'm really disappointed and I think I'll send them back no matter they were on sale.
Wow, it looks great. Too bad it hurts.
