    26G

    Hasn't set fit

    I bought this from a user on r/braswap, but I wanted to review it from the perspective of someone who is the correct size for this bra.

    This is the most gorgeous bra I have ever owned! It is so pretty I want to style low cut tops and dresses just to show the beautiful pink tulle tattooed to my body. I call it the “Marie Antoinette” bra, lol!

    I like the concept of this bra. I am a medium busted person so low cut, coconut cups don’t work for me. I have a Comexim 3HC with reduced cup height and while it is pretty and gives me amazing ... cleavage, it’s not technically a great fit. The Abrielle has an invisible mesh thing at the top of the cup, while the bottom is adorned with a nice embroidery. This gives fuller busted women the opportunity to wear these demi cup looking things while really it’s a complete cup bra. Fabulous!

    This bra runs one cup size small, just like the KH website suggests. So I am a 26FF, the 26G fits me well. Luckily band on this one is TTS. The only thing is, I don’t think it’s that narrow and projected. It has very similar, almost identical cup depth to a 55J Comexim plunge bra, but with wider wire. The wires are a little too wide for me (about a finger length), and there is a little wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. Not projected enough for me, but not shallow enough to be problematic. Next bra I buy will definitely be a Comexim plunge in 55J, though nothing beats KH aesthetic-wise.

    Other than the projection issue, the gore tacks and there is no gaping. I think I’ve found my ideal cup depth: ~23 cm. The straps are also quite short, so I can wear them on almost their longest setting whereas I normally have to adjust them more. I personally am not bothered by high gores, but I would not recommend KH to someone who is. I’m used to Comexim’s low gores but damn… the gores are SO HIGH. And the Abrielle is supposed to have a lower gore compared to Sophia and Abbie…

    If I have the money to buy more KH, I definitely will. Despite Polish bras being a much better fit, the quality and aesthetic of their products spark joy for me! I hope they improve their sizing consistency and customer service in case I order directly. I sorta regret not getting a Vivian during Black Friday but I would have ordered the wrong size anyway. I think 26G is the best KH size for me in general.

    Didn't fit

    I was sooo excited for this bra! I live in the southeastern US. I ordered it on April 23, received a notification that my "order had been fulfilled" on April 30, and it came in the mail today ― so very good turnaround time.

    I've never owned a 26 band bra before, but this one didn't disappoint. The band doesn't stretch as much as I was expecting it might based on past reviews of this brand. It's actually nice and snug and comfortable on me. The cups were narrow and projected, but I got quadboob even on my smaller side, so definitely go up at least one cup size ... if you're thinking of buying from them. I was worried about the gore digging in, and my fears were unfortunately confirmed ― I won't be wearing this bra on a daily basis (also because it's way too small in the cup) because it hurttsss https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

    I also got the Abrielle briefs in size 6, in plum because the rose gold was sold out in my size, and I'm in love with them! They fit my 23.5" waist and almost 36" hips (for sizing ref) very well and are comfortable. All in all, I don't think this purchase was a total loss, because now I know. If KH ever come out with a plunge bra ― why oh why won't they come out with a plunge bra ― and it's on sale, I'll probably grab it. These products definitely feel luxurious and I think they were worth what I paid for them. The fabric is super soft and the lace is beautiful, not to mention the gorgeous rose gold metal detailing. Based on practicality alone, though, I don't think I would pay full price.

      I can't wait till they come out with plunges (and they go on sale), I'll definitely buy one as well. Her designs are just so beautiful! Hold on, is that your nipple in the upper left of the photo? This bra is way too small on you, it's such a shame since it's gorgeous. It would be great for a "going out bra" under a low square neckline though, the quadding can pass for cakes-on-a-plate.

      marilynne Lol yes that is my literal nipple!! That's what happened when I scooped and swooped all the way on my bigger side. My roommate was nearby and was like "how come you're doing that (scooping and swooping)? It looked like it fit okay before" which made me chuckle. I don't think a bra so small that my nipple can end up halfway out of the cup like that fits okay...

      This bra is so beautiful! I'll have to check out her designs, I've never really looked at this brand before (have heard of it, but never checked it out).

      biflexual lol, you've got to teach your roomate to s&s! I feel so bad for her!

      The bra is soo pretty! Too bad it's too small. There's an Abrielle in 26GG on sale at £26 and I am so tempted to buy it, but I know it'll be too small on me. I think this particular model runs small.

      kate166 I also bought their bralette in 26HH, so we’ll see if it runs as small. I hope it does because otherwise I’ll just be an idiot for buying it, lol. In my defense, they didn’t have a 26H and the bralette + matching panties were only $35 total!!

      @biflexual, if it's too big for you I'll definitely buy it off of you. And how are you getting these deals!?

    • 2

      marilynne just check out their website!!! The homepage has a sale banner you can click on and go through all the bras and bottoms, the bralette and matching bottoms are 80% off! You don’t need a code or anything either!

      biflexual Thank you! I just got the bralette and thong in 30G/10. The band may be too big, but it's a bralette.

      That's a lovely bra, shame about that gore height.

      Thanks for the Katherine Hamilton bra review and, especially, for the panties review.

    The depth is fine, but the cups and gore are too tall. I guess it's just a shape mismatch for me (functionally short/FOB).
