So, I really like this bra, or I want to. It fits but doesn’t. This is a unique semi soft bra that’s a half cup. When I tried the Yvette on, it fit but was too tall in the cups so it was not a good fit. This one is significantly lower, and it works. Sort of.

I’m getting some bubbling from the stretchy bit lining the cups, and I have a bit of in cup quadding where the foam cup ends and the lace cover is by itself. I tried to capture this in a picture but I wasn’t hugely successful. Pulling up on the outer lace ... bit helps a little bit with the fit but my soft tissue is affected by different tensions in the cup and if one part is firmer than the other, it shows. That said, it is pretty minor in this bra, and under my work uniform, not noticeable.

The band is a bit snug for me on this one. I’m not getting a squished valley of fat from it being too tight, but I was more aware of the bra all day, and I got some redder than usual markings at the end of the day. I did get by without using an extender, but it does feel more comfortable with. The other thing I noticed is just how itchy my back was with the band. It was the same thing with the Gorsenia I was wearing the day before. I’m not sure what the cause is exactly.

The straps have a beautiful print on them which is a nice touch, and I love the little drop jewel at the gore. The external lace is beautiful too. This bra set (with the thong) feels very bridal to me. It’s really lovely. I wish I had been more comfortable in it all day today.

I decided to try this bra because I love purple in all shades, and that it was touted as being comparable with Ewa Michalak BM bras. After deliberating, I bought this set from AGBras to expand my Polish bra experience (at which time I was able to try a bunch of others as have all mostly been reviewed, with one more pending).

I really love the shade of this bra (see the picture noted as being accurate, because grey winter days make bra pictures hard to take sometimes). The matching bottoms are a dream fit and really pretty. I love the lace back. I can ... see the comparisons with the BM, but I think it’s its own cut.

As for the fit of the bra, I think it fits pretty well, but I feel like I have a more flattering look with the BM. This bra is a 4 part cup, covered with a beautiful lilac lace. The upper section of the cup is a little bit transparent, and it’s got a stretchy elastic lining the edge. As most of my regular readers know, I don’t generally do well with the stretchy strips that line cup edges. There are a few only that have been no problem, most are a big problem, and this is one of the sort of ok ones. It’s not seriously digging into my soft tissue, but it is enough for some shirring at the edge.

The cup shape is slightly rounded, but natural like the BM - however, from the front profile, the shape appears different because the edge of the cups is a bit more horizontal than the BM, which is in part due to the gore being a bit taller. The gore on the BM is lower and offers an almost plunge look in me in my size. So in my opinion, the shape of the BM (and subsequently the SF) is more flattering to me.

The band is about the same as the knitwear bands I have on my BMs, and about as firm and snug as the 65FF Cabernet was when I got it almost a year ago. That said, something about the band was nagging me and I have since forgotten, but if I can remember it the next time I wear it, I’ll edit this. I wanna say it’s the hook tape that’s irritating, but I don’t remember.

Wires are appropriately narrow, and possibly border being too narrow for me. My tissue is soft so when I’m leaning forward to swoop and scoop, I can get it all in the cups, but I might need just a titch more room. I don’t think the straps are any better or worse than the BM, but maaybe a teensy bit less wide.

Overall, it’s a fairly good fit and mostly comfortable bra, and I like the set, but I think BM/SF is my better fit between the two.

Yvette is another beautiful semi-soft style from Kinga.

After Calluna experienced fit issues, I figured I would review it to show how it fits me in the exact same size (I have bigger breasts of a COMPLETELY different shape).

This form is the most deep and narrow of their semi-softs. That being said, I think I *could* take a bigger size (65H) but I like the lift and cleavage created by 65G and since I don't quad in it, I stay at this size despite always having a gore that floats at the top. It really is only at the top, is created by the fullness ... in my upper center quadrant and does not cause any discomfort. *This style is VERY good for showing this fit issue- it is sheer near the gore, so you can see that my breast tissue is far away from it. Thank you my dear implants for providing me with this all-around 360-degree projection 😜


Side note: next time I'll try the 65H to compare fit #brascience

The bottom of the cup is beige corsetry foam that is covered with a very stretchy black lace. (The inside of the foam is covered with soft black jersey.) The top/soft part of the cup is embroidered mesh. It is quite simple but lovely. Basic black satin bows and a crystal charm for decoration at straps and gore.

Band is black powermesh. Comfortable, TTS. In this size there are 3 rows of 2 hooks.

Matching thongs are very comfortable and a nice cut. TTS for a S in this brand.

I love this form from Kinga and will continue to buy more.

This was a from rachaelll. She offered it in exchange for the Panache Ava I had listed, and as I’d never tried this brand before, let alone anything like it, I decided to go for it. She said that it’s a little bit too big for her, which meant it might also not fit me, and in this case, my assumption was correct.

This bra doesn’t fit me in many ways, despite being a pretty and unique bra. The cups are a little bit too big, deep, and tall, yet the padded lower section somehow feels like it is too shallow and wants to slip ... out of my imf. Looking at the side profile, it has a look of depth at the wire. And the band feels snug and firm enough. It’s very strange, to be honest. I have a very odd fit from the side...it’s rather pointy and triangular (and not in a natural way), which I can’t tell if it’s a size issue or a shape/style issue. The straps feel wide and the whole thing is up in my pits and hugely uncomfortable. Is it a size issue? Would a smaller size fit better in this area? No idea. The embroidery in the armpit area is also a bit irritating, perhaps because it’s a tall cup.

Now there are several nice things about this bra, though nothing that outweighs the negative fit aspects. Because it’s a semi soft, it’s lightweight since it’s not fully padded, and the padding feels lighter and softer than some. It’s also likely to dry faster. The sheer mesh on the upper section is nice and soft. The strip at the top is not a problem, but it’s possible that a smaller size would be. The straps feel really soft.

I’m curious to see how AGBras finds this bra as she got the same size as well, and our shapes are quite different. I’m definitely softer, less upper fullness, close set, etc. I’ll be listing it to pass on to someone who is a little larger and/or fuller on top than I am. I’m still game to try more Kinga at some point, but this is not the style for me.

The bra is constructed of a lovely soft animal print microfibre and delicate black lace. Lower cups and wings are made of the print microfibre. The upper cups and cradle are of lace. And that bow? I'm not a fan of big bows, but this oversized hot pink satin bow against the black and animal print is pretty cute, I have to admit.

The band is black power mesh. It measures and feels TTS. 3 rows of 2 hooks.

The cups are classic semi-soft 3-part construction.

The cups on this semi-padded bra are wider and shallower than those on my Kinga Semi-padded Anafi, which is of a different form. While ... Anafi fits me perfectly, this one does not.

Because the cups are not as deep, I can not get a tack at the top of the gore and because they are too wide, there is a little empty space under my armpit.

However, it is not enough to prevent me from wearing this bra very comfortably and enjoying it.

I have already worn it for a full day and it does not slide down out of my IMF nor does it cause any discomfort whatsoever. It offers great support and I love the profile from front and side under clothes.

While 854 isn't my favourite semi-padded form from Kinga, if they make a super pretty style in the future in this form, I will not hesitate to buy it. Why? See above.

Also, because I have another bra of this same form and same size, Addicted, which fits better. #headscratching...

The thongs for this set came with little strappies on them a la harness style. I cut them off (yes, I perform panty surgery as well as wire-bending bra surgery). Now I have beautiful, simple animal print and black lace thongs.

As always, I have to thank MagdaBras4you who goes out of her way to provide stellar customer service and always gets me the lingerie that I want from Polish companies.

My shape is low set, short and narrow rooted, and soft.

This bra came to me through the generous Calluna . Thank you! It is in excellent condition, and it came with a matching thong (such a treat since I never get matching sets!). I'm so pleased with this set and I'm so happy that she was nice enough to pass it along to me.

The bra has a fairly tall cup height, which I wasn't sure would work for me. I'm pleased to say that it fits, but I don't have as much upper fullness as it could handle. However, my weight tends to fluctuate, and ... I know that it will still fit if I gain a few pounds or if I'm puffed up from my cycle. This kind of fit is my perfect fit... the kind that fits the size I am now but could still fit later if I'm a bit fuller as well. The shape is fairly rounded, but maybe a bit more natural shaped with the size I am right now. I'm good with it, since It still looks nice under a shirt. It's not as pointy as some plunges are on me, so I'm happy about that.

The band is a bit tighter than a true 30", which I need on my sub-30 inch ribcage. It has 3 sets of 2 hooks. The cup itself if a semi-soft, which means it has a lined lower cup with stretch lace on the upper section of the bra. It is my first semi soft, and I find it quite accomodating. It has the cut of a balconette with a three part construction. It gives support but allows for shape/size differences in the upper lace portion. The cup is a little wider than I typically need, but because my tissue is soft, it still fills up the space on the side and fits ok. The straps are fully adjustable, even on my low set tall frame. They are a little thin, but not at all uncomfortable. The gore has a tiny bow with a jewel on it.

The bra itself is navy coloured with a floral pattern that is subtle and quite pretty. I liked this set when I saw it on calluna.

Overall it is comfortable, pretty, supportive, accomodating, and good quality. Thanks again calluna!

When I tried it on initially and took a little video of the fit for AGBras , I said “yasss” initially. I do still really like it, but it’s not quite right in the fit after a day of wear. It’s a super cute Kinga semi soft with a bit of a stretchy upper lace portion.

The fit is a little tight in the band, and with a full day’s wear at work, I could feel the wires trying to slip down. I was aware of this bra a lot of the day I was wearing it. I did find the wire marks appear to ... follow my roots pretty well, so I suspect that it might be a wire shape issue, or maybe related to the band being a tad snug, because it seems like it should be deep enough at the wire. I did have the same problem with the other Kinga semi softs I have tried.

The print is super cute and the matching thong was pretty comfortable once I found the sweet spot. I feel like it’s not quite right. I want to love it. I’m going to try it with the extender next time and see if I have a different/better experience with it.

A note with a lot of the Kinga and Gorsenias: I feel like the gore is both a bit too wide and tall for me.

My soft, even to fob, functionally short breasts do feel good and secure in the semi soft styles but I think I prefer a fully lined or fully unlined bra.

This bra is a beautiful blue grey lace with silver threads.

It's a 3-part soft balcony cut, Form 801, which I find to be more horizontal across the top than most of my other soft balconies from Gorsenia, KL, Ewa, etc. It's look leans to a soft half cup, but with more coverage and depth at the wire.

It's lined with colour-matched silky soft polyester lining. I have never seen this before and it creates such a soft interior on the bra. It's wonderful!

Straps are smooth and unadorned. They're fully adjustable with silver metal sliders.

At the gore is a small satin bow and a moonstone and crystal charm.

The ... band is matte knitwear. I find this band to be just a little tighter than my other 65G Kingas.

It also has creaky wires. Huh? I've had those in 1 Kris Line bra too. I wonder what causes it? It doesn't affect fit or comfort though and I only notice it while putting the bras on.

Straight out of the box, this bra fit me ok and tacked PERFECTLY. There is plenty of depth at the wire, but, the wires were a little wide (wider than my other Kinga softcup which is form 800) and I was seeing a teeny quad boob.

Hence, I decided to bend the wires a bit.

See this post about bending wires:

https://www.bratabase.com/adventures/entry/18403/

As can be seen in my after photos, just a cm bend in the wire changed the depth at the center of the cup just enough to alleviate the minor quadding.

There is a 20% off sale at Kinga today, so I figured this would be a good day to review a set from their current Spring/Summer 2019 collection.

Limpid is form 800. It's simply called a soft bra but it is actually more of a half cup/soft balconette.

It has 1 vertical seam and one horizontal "dart" on the gore side of the cup.

It is pretty open on the top and pushes the breasts up like cakes on a plate.

This intention to push the breasts up means that there is less depth/projection at the bottom of the cup/wire.

It is for this reason that I get ... a tack at the bottom of the gore but not at the top. It does not affect the comfort at all and the wire stays up in my IMF all day. No adjustments needed.

The wires are fairly narrow and follow my breast shape very well.

The cup material is a cool undertoned beige mesh that's embroidered with pretty pink and orange flowers. It is only semi-sheer. My nipples do not show through completely.

There is a sheer side sling inside the cup.

The band is made from colour-matched power mesh. It has pretty pink trim.

The straps have a very pretty attachment that I have not seen before. They are smooth and almost fully adjustable.

The band is comfortable and I would consider it TTS and consistent with my other Kinga bras in this size.

I chose strings in size S to make the set. They have a large panel of embroidery on the front with pink trim that matches the band of the bra and a folded mesh back. They are light, comfortable, invisible under pants and fit like a dream.

This is a lovely set and a nice form. I will certainly buy others in the future.

As always, I have MagdaBras4you to thank for shopping at Kinga for me.

This semi-padded bra from Kinga just may be my favourite form yet (apart from Kris Line soft half cups). For me, it is the perfect compromise between the sexy, natural shape of a softcup and the little extra oomf and nipple-hiding that a padded bra offers. It also dries in less than half the time it takes for my Ewa Michalak padded bras to dry. Bonus on laundry day https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

Anafi II is constructed from a combination of baby pink and metallic silver lace, baby pink mesh and baby pink knitwear.

The cups are 3-part: 2 in the lower with 1 vertical seam ... and 1 in the upper.

The bottom of the cup is constructed of colour-matched cotton-lined corsetry foam that is overlaid with the lace.

The top of the cup is unlined sheer mesh with lace overlay on part of it.

These cups have narrow wires and plenty of projection at the wire - all the way around. I get a nice tack that's solid at the bottom and soft at the top of the gore.

There is no elastic strip at the back, but, as can be seen in photos, the top trim of the cup is, itself, lightly elasticized.

The bra provides a nice rounded appearance without compression or pushing my breasts up to my chin.

The band is constructed of stretch knitwear. It is a little smaller than I am accustomed to for 65 bands: it measures smaller (un-stretched 63cm), but when wearing it, it does not feel tight. It is smooth and comfortable. There are 3 rows of 2 hooks.

The wings and gore are made of the lace. There is a small bow and clear raindrop bead at the gore. Simple and elegant.

The straps on this one are positioned nicely - not too wide - but they are a little narrow and completely smooth. They are comfortable though, and I experience no digging in or pain after wearing.

I chose thong panties to make the set. They are made from the stretch knitwear with lace inserts at the hip. The cut and fit is great. I find Kinga thongs to be a little bit bigger (fabric is less compressive) than Krislines - by just a little bit. The sizing of their thongs is is more equivalent to Victoria Secret panty sizing.

I have to thank MamaPagan for encouraging me to try Kinga bras even after I was told by someone else that they would not fit me. Every one that I have tried yet has fit; some better than others, but they all fit.

I find Kinga sizing to be pretty consistent with Gorsenia.

I love this bra and will be asking MagdaBras4you to buy me more in the same form (816) in the future.

This is my first Kinga bra and it was a VERY pleasant surprise as it is beautiful and fits perfectly. It is a real alternative to Ewa M's BM. I will definitely buy more of this form.

This bra is form 811 : a 4-part soft cup and is made out of lace with fine mesh lining and side support. The cradle and band are made of knitwear - but it's double layered on mesh - very impressive quality.

NB There IS narrow elastic (not plastic tape) at the top of this cup. Important if you have tall and/or soft roots that tend to quad from these.

The straps are ... a little narrow for this size, but still comfortable. There is no bow or any embellishment where the strap meets the cup - while I am not a huge fan of flashy bows, I do like something covering the join.

There is a gore embellishment though - a little bow and a rhinestone drop. Very pretty.

Matching panties are lace-backed briefs. more generous in size than Gorsenia and Krisline...next time I will take XS.

The cup shape fits perfectly, but the band is noticeably tight. My other Kinga (Alexa II) I've been wearing on the tightest hooks since I got it, so this will take some getting used to. I feel like my chest points downward in this, but it may just be the seams on the cup. Overall it does everything I need it to, shape is just esthetic.

Very nice bra! Very nice soft beige color.
It's 3-part semi-soft bra. Lower parts are made of polka dot fabric. They are lightly padded. Upper section is thin unstretchable lace. There is thin transparent elastic on the top of the cup (I hate this, as it always cuts into my breast tissue). The cups are projected with great amount of apex projection. Size down if you're between sizes! The band is made of mesh. It's soft and true to size ( I'd prefer tighter band).
The bra gives a rather strange shape: very round at lower part and a little pointy at the apex. The seams between ... padded and lace part are visible under very thin t-shirt, and all together bra design is visible under thin and white fabric.
I've cut off the transparent elastic from the top of the cups. As a result the cups became more open on top, the profile became more round. I think that cups are a little big for me ( about 0.5 size), but I'm not sure if I could use F cup (only if the lace was stretchy).
After wearing Dia all day long I can say that the bra is very comfortable: nothing scratches, everything stays on its place, nipples are covered by the padded part and are not visible even when it's very cold

I love the gray and pink combo on this bra! It is a three-part, half-padded style with a slightly shimmery, lightly-padded bottom section and a stretch lace top section. The cups have lots of room for bottom and apex projection with a slightly closed top edge, though the lace in the top section seems quite stretchy. The wires are narrow and very U-shaped. The straps are fairly narrow compared to most DD+ bras, but are fully adjustable.

The bra is marked as a European 65G, which should be equivalent to a UK 30F, but the band is very small and the cups are somewhat large, so it fits like a UK 28G.

I am way behind on bra reviews these days so I'll try to be succint. I covered the aesthetics of this bra in my previous review for the 65H - Kinga » Music Ii (BC-234) . Still gorgeous.

Band is a true 30 - too big for me. The cups fit better on this one, but still not quite there. It's really the top stretch lace section giving me troubles. I should have known, as I never get along with stretch lace. I have short roots and am functionally FOB and just cannot fill it out. The stretch lace is empty ... and lays flat/angled back from the padded part of the cup and still gives me somewhat of a pointy shape.

I'm confused by Kinga's sizing, which appears to be EU with EU bands and no double cup letters. But it runs SO BIG. Like, this 65G should translate into a UK 30F, correct? But this could easily fit a projected UK 30FF/G who is FOT and/or has taller roots than I.

Cups are narrower on this one, at 5.5" and 9.8" deep. This bra allows for plenty of immediate projection (yay for Polish bras) and the wires are flexible and not hard or painful. I've ordered the original Music I style, which is all padded and appears to have a different seam pattern. I'm hoping that one works better for me. I don't think I can go down in cup volume - maybe I could have on this one - but this bra is sadly not the right shape for me, the stretch lace is killing it. I'm hoping the padded version still allows for projection and is still relatively narrow, because this bra melts my heart and as a pianist I must have it in my life.

I'll be listing this one so if this bra screams for your size & shape of boobs - get it while you can!

I wasn't expecting much of this one, given Kingas run-of-the-mill airbrushed glamour shots (not to mention sophieverney.com being infested with Trojans), but it's actually well constructed, supportive, sexy and gives a nice shape. The center gore sits firmly against my chest. The band feels comfortable but very snug on the loosest hooks. It's probably the tightest 65/30 I've tried.

Alas, G was too small. Their size calculator goes up to 65H, but that size is not listed in their advanced search and no store seems to sell it.

It's half-padded, with a thickish grainy material on the bottom half of the cups. There is also a set of removable pads. The straps are removable. Not sure how durable the plastic fasteners are. They got detached a couple of times during fitting, but that would be easy to fix. As usual, the seams show through tight tops.

Overall the bra is lovely with nice shape and very pretty lace. The one issue for me is that it is way too big (even though the 30:7 ratio pretty reliably fits me), to the point that I recommend going 1-2 cup sizes down from what you usually wear in this bra.
