this bra is so pretty! I love the diamond detailing and there's also a little gem on the gore—so cute. I got this bra secondhand from another user and I knew I was gambling a little on the size—it doesn't look quite right on me, though it's still pretty comfortable and supportive. the band is a tiny bit bigger than I'd like, but the bigger issue is that I just don't quite fill out the cups. However, I find with balconnet style bras that since the support is coming from the bottom part of the cup, some wrinkling in the upper sheer part isn't a huge deal except from an aesthetic perspective. I might try altering the band, but in the meantime I'm still wearing this bra around the house/under my baggier shirts lol.
Beautiful bra, It was too wide and shallow for me. I had no wrinkles on the bottom, but the cup was a good .75 inches too wide. I quadded and there was a bunch of empty space in the sides of the cups. Overall bad fit.
The bra is comfortable, was my favourite for the long time, perfect for summer and white/light color shirts. After a bit more than one year of using it, I can tell the band stretches really a lot, so it might be a good choice, if you don't like to tight bands. Maybe it got more loose because of using it a lot - I have the same model in dark blue color, so I can check how's the band in that one.
I received this beautiful Polish bra from Calluna with the tags still on. I've never tried a padded bra before. The padding must have given me lots more lift than I'm used to. I was fairly self conscious of how high and forward-facing my bust was all day. I don't like molded bras because they hurt my back, so I usually wear unlined bras that give sort of a natural, bra-less shape. I had no pain all today with the padding, but I definitely knew I was wearing a bra. It's really cute in person, with a sparkly rhinestone on the gore and two layers ...of see-through material on top, plain mesh underneath and embroidered lace overlapping diagonally. The bottom half is a subtle brocade pattern over foam. It's tight enough on the first row of hooks for me, but not so tight I was uncomfortable (wasn't feeling my best today so I wanted a just-right tightness - I kind of like a really snug band otherwise). I'm noticing that when I slouch there's a lot of gapping in the top of the cups. I've got the straps tightened all the way to my shoulders to prevent wrinkling, but that only eliminates it when I stand up straight. When I had a flu-induced nap in it I could see the foam lining through my cotton tank. It is a 65G and according to my measurements I'd probably be a 60FF, but I'm still trying everything I can. There's a lot of coverage which I don't mind at all, but it's still sexy because of the upper layer translucent mesh/lace combination. It's got a U-shaped back which stuck out of my tank top. I'm fairly happy with it and will probably wear it regularly, but now that I've tried padded bras on my soft, projected, medium full breasts I think I like the teardrop shape my 28FF Andorras (yet to be reviewed in that size) and my 30FF - Panache » Loretta Plunge (6686) give me more, as that's how I've always wanted my breasts to look and assumed that would never happen at my ~oh so impossibly large~ bra size. (a bra in my size? fetch my fainting couch) Some room still around my IMF, just like every bra I've tried so far - just about a half a cm. I'm happy to have seen a Polish bra on my breasts though - might still look for some unlined stretch lace models to try in the future, or one of those really cute ballerina-pink ones with huge silk bows because those are just irresistible. But so far I've been fairly successful at black bras. Very much need some nude bras - that's the next goal https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I've lost my sunlight so I'll have to post pictures later.

Glad that it kinda works. Slouching is definitely a problem with bras. I’d definitely suggest you try other polish bras. For unlined, Ewa Michalak and Gorsenia. Think jlcl119 might have something in your size range.
The Loretta pictures are not attached to your entry for it, and with several other entries for that one I cannot tell which set is yours. If you want your photos linked to your entries you can check the "Make pictures visible next to my bra information" box at the bottom of the add pictures tab under each bra in the "My Bras" section. Once that is clicked, the photos will be visible and linked to your bra under your profile/review.
If you prefer a more natural look, I would suggest Ewa Michalak's BM style. It is unlined, has stretch lace on the upper half, and is wonderfully comfortable. It is also her most popular style so it has more options and availability.
Thanks MamaPagan that worked! And Calluna she has a Comexim Ingrid Plunge Bra (289) that looks like it would fit really well :) I'll have to see what I can do when all my returns are refunded
One thing to mention is that Kinga doesn’t follow UK sizes so you would not be able to find a 60FF. They use EU cup progression. If they have 60s (I don’t know if they do), you would want either 60H if the cup volume of the 65G is correct, or 60G if you need band and cup down. Just remember to go up and down in the cup if you change bands and want to maintain the same cup volume. The 28FF and 30FF you mentioned, for example, aren’t the same cup volume (unless for whatever reason the 30FF was a really small fit or the 28FF was a big fit).
Unfortunately Kinga does not make a 60 band. 😖
That's true :P the Loretta has a crazy small cup, and a pretty tight band, so it fits pretty much like a 28FF. I figure I'll either have to get used to altering 30Fs or I'll have to wait for custom size bras to come up on here. While I figure out what works I'd rather not pay too much for a bra :P I wish I knew how the Loretta balconette compares to the plunge, incidentally. The reviews say it's more tts but there aren't any side by side comparisons
Ahh, good to know. Makes me wonder if my 30FF CK Lifestyle plunge would fit you.

That's a gorgeous bra :) the measurements seem right for me but I have the same problem at the straps that you do.
This is a very pretty bra that I ordered in the wrong size. It's way too big. The inside is cotton with small removable pads inside pockets in the cups. The straps are convertible.
Very cute, really wish it fit me! Unfortunately it doesn't have enough room in the bottom of the cups, so it slides down my ribcage and starts to hurt after a while. I'll probably have to pass it on to someone else. It looks like the Music II is supposed to have more immediate projection, but it's sold out in every size on the website except 90D. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I really like the multiway straps, cookie pockets, and light padding. Some people might not like the thin straps or the fact that the band only has 3x2 hooks, but those were not problems for me. If only it didn't slide down, this would be a favorite.
Third attempt at these Kinga music bras!! Runs big in the cups, average wire width, slightly shallower than the semi-padded Music II style. Finally, the correct cup volume for me. Band is TTS, will need altered.
Awesome! Thank you!! Also, how much is their shipping to the US?
How much would you recommend going down in the cup? I'm always a 75F in Comexim.
Well their bands are definitely TTS, so I'd stay in a 75 band. I'd go down one cup, the index size for this bra is 30:7 meaning the 65G should be a UK 30F but it fits me fine and I'm a 30FF (if it's a tight band) or a 28G. So I'd try 75E. I can't remember exactly what shipping is to the US honestly, but it's not much. You can right click and have Google translate the page if you're using Chrome. There is no US shipping option on the website so just pick one. Your address and phone # will not fit in their forms, so put what you can fit in there, submit the order & pick Paypal as the payment, and then email them immediately with your order # and explain you're American and give them your full shipping address & phone number. They will invoice you via PayPal for the correct amount. It sounds like a lot but it's easy once you do it. Someone there speaks English, so feel free to email them in English and they will answer you within a day, in English. They're quite helpful! I think my total was around $30 USD? They send tracking & everything!
