Beautiful and high quality. I love the pink floral print for the padded portion. However I think this band is small/tight for a 34... seems much tighter than a padded styles in 75H (Flowers II) and 75I (Simi II). Other Kinga semi padded reviews mention cup sizes running 1-2 cup sizes large, so I tried 75h based on a fitting into a 75i padded Kinga. I don't think that's the case and wish I would've tried a size 75i instead. However, if the band runs small in semi padded styles, I'll definitely need to try 80h or 80i.
I LOVE this bra! The lift, the support, the shaping! And all in comfort! It's my fav purchase so far! The cups have a great amount of projection even at the wire, I get no wrinkles on the bottom when the straps are tightened correctly. The 3-piece construction is good, with the center seam actually lining up with my nips, and the material is not scratchy at all. I've so far also had no trouble with seams showing under a shirt. The side sling is very lightly padded and covered in a soft cotton, providing fantastic forward projection. The wires are firm but not so bad they won't conform ...to the body when worn. I did not have to bend them a bit to get a comfortable fit. The height of the cups is perfect, I'm not getting poked or spilling out, so this would be a great choice for petites. These wires feel like they've been made for me, they tuck into my IMF almost perfectly. The gore tacks and is both narrow and low enough sitting that my close-set boobs aren't being pinched by them. I have very narrow and sloped shoulders, making the fit of straps and the side of the cups tricky. I really like how Kinga does theirs, at least on the 2 I've tried, they don't rub me raw. The straps are soft, wide, but with firm stretch. They have swan hooks at the front so you can convert to racerback, yay! The band is firm on this model, more so than the Digital I previously reviewed. My only issue at all with this bra is that the band tries to roll up under the wires at the bottom of the cups. I have to sort of train it to fold the other way so it doesn't pinch. 1 day of wear seams to have helped, but be warned. Other than the band, I think it needs another wash or 2 to soften some of the elastics in various spots. Seriously, this has been my best fit yet. I would happily purchase a dozen more of this cut, Form 801. Read more 245 more words
Can I ask where you purchased your Kinga from? I can’t seem to find any retailers that deliver to the US.
I got this one and Digital from Lavinia Lingerie. Ships within a few days, arrives pretty quickly for me. They have a lot of sales, and I've gotten a new discount code with each package. I just put an order for a Michelle and a Sophie in with Bras4U.com, address is listed as being based in New York, with 30-day return policy. We'll see how quickly they arrive. Both places only carry a few of the many styles Kinga puts out, but I figure I'll get a feel for the more common forms from places I can easily return to if needed. Then I can order direct from Kinga when I want, they ship to the US.
KINGA SHIPS DIRECTLY TO THE US??? I’ve tried to place an order before but I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to ship to me. Also please let me know how your other kingas go. And I’ve found another place that ships to the US called MoreTights: https://moretights.com/ .
Ooo, nice! So many options! I haven't tried ordering directly from Kinga, but their site says they ship international and I've seen reddit posts saying they will ship US. They take PayPal, so I imagine they can always get the correct address that way. Will for sure update on the other bras. I'm sooo excited to finally be finding bras that fit and are comfortable!
Beautiful padded bra. Teal bra with periwinkle lace detail and straps. Great lift and cleavage. Well made and beautiful, just unfortunately a cup size too small. I tried a different Kinga padded bra a cup size up (Simi II in 75I) and had a near perfect fit. I usually take a UK 34GG/US 34J/34:10.
If you normally wear size UK- 34GG / US- 34J then you should rather choose 34J Kinga size. Model Simi II and Flowers II is sewn from the same form 915, so I think that even the size of 75 I would be good for you.:) If you want to try it, contact me at contact@bras4you.com. I have access to Kinga's bras and not only.
This bra is good, just not my favorite of my Kingas. She has the good qualities of most of them- good projection, narrower shoulder strap placement, supportive. The seams disappear under clothing, the padding is thin, and the inner cup is lined in soft cotton. The side sling is a prominent design feature and does a great job bringing the ladies forward. However, I find the wires to be a bit too firm and not quite the right shape for me. By the end of the day, I tend to have that orange in a glass look at the bottom of the cup, although the top still lies ...nicely enough. The side boning was cut too long, it rubs a little after awhile into my fat rolls. I may take them out to improve the comfort. The band is also bordering on too tight (probably in part due to the lack of flex in the wires), with this scallop edge to the elastic that can get pretty irritating after a while. I think ladies who like a harder wire would like this bra, but it's not a fav of mine. It's still a nice bra, and I'm still keep it, but I won't be purchasing more of this particular model. The Etna might be plainer, but it is much more comfortable and fits better for me. Of note, I have not had the change cups sizes between soft and semi-soft Kinga bras, the volume has stayed the same between them. Read more 142 more words
This is a great work bra. Simple, supportive, comfortable, and disappears under shirts. The color is perfect for me, might be a bit light for those with darker complexions. I think their skin colorway is supposed to be darker. This bra has all the qualities I've come to expect from Kinga- great projection, fantastic lift and shaping, and that wonderful cut and placement of the shoulder straps that works so well for my narrow shoulders. The gore tacks, and the wires have a nice flex to them without being too bendy. There is a side sling hiding in the construction, you can sort of see the top of it in my side shot. The cups are lined in a thin padding and then soft cotton against the skin, and the seams barely show even when wearing my tightest shirts. The band on this one is very comfortable as well, snug and smooth. Between this one and the Sophie I got, I like this one better, and may purchase another in the future.
This is one of the bras I ordered from Bras4you.com. I had originally ordered it in beige, but am so glad she didn't have my size in that colorway. The black is so stunning! I really like this bra. It's a fantastic fit and very comfortable. I decided to try this model after finding my Gorteks Pamela's straps were set too wide to be comfortable. In every way, I think the Michelle is a better bra for me. The straps are set the perfect width for me, with that so right cut along the armpit of the cup that all the Kingas I've tried have. It ...really makes a world of difference for my narrow shoulders. The wires are also that just right spot between flexible and firm, providing support without stabbing or digging in. The side boning had me worried, but it is cut short enough to move inside its channel and thus does not poke my fat rolls on my side. The cup material seem so delicate, but they do an amazing job rounding up my girls. The side sling is some sort of magic, it really brings everything front and center. The side view has a vintage-like point, but as you can see from the bottom it still provides a fairly rounded shape. I love where Kinga bras put the apex of my breast, so perky compared to the Pamela. There is a fine little elastic along the cup edge, which really helps mask my asymmetry.The band has a soft but strong elastic, and the gore tacks lightly. I really like the shape of the gore, wider at the base and super narrow at the top. It really helps this bra snuggle into my IMF. This is probably one of the first bras I've gotten since starting my bra fitting journey that I literally forgot I wearing, it is sooo comfortable! Very happy with this purchase!

I got this bra from Moretights.com. I am so glad they were recommended to me, the processing time and shipping was quick, and the prices are great! Store is in Poland, they ship internationally, and boy do they have a ton of choices to choose from. I've been finding the latest seasonal lines from Kinga showing up in their online store within days of debut, and they carry dozens of other brands. From order placement to arrival in at my US doorstep has been averaging about 2.5-3wks. Now, about the bra. I adore this one so much! So sexy and seductive, yet soft and incredibly ...comfortable! The form is another 801, but unlike my Mist, it does not have a support side sling. This lets the girls sit a little wider than in my other Kinga bras, but not terribly so, adding to the softness of the look. The inner cup is a 3-part seamed cup with wonderful immediate projection and pleasing lift, while the lace is a stretchy overlay that provides some softening of seam lines and nipple bumps when worn under t-shirts. It provides a natural but wonderfully lifted shape, perhaps a tad pointy for some. The wires have just the right amount of flex for me, requiring no bending or shaping to keep it from digging into my sternum. They have some space to move inside their casing, preventing them from poking my armpits, and they sit just where they're supposed to on my body. The gore tacks extremely well without stabbing or floating. The decorative straps are adjustable and actually help keep the gore pulled up in place between the girls, a tough task considering how close-set I am. The shoulders straps are perfection. Soft, wide, fully adjustable, and set at the exactly the right width for my narrow, sloping shoulders. The elastic is not firm, hopefully they won't stretch out too fast. The band is firm but not uncomfortable, and the side wing height is fantastic for my petite frame. I really love this bra, and the matching brief looks so flattering and sexy on my fluffy curves! Kinga is definitely my go-to brand, the sizing has been very consistent and suites my body so well! Read more 265 more words
This is one of my first Polish bras and I am very impressed. I was nervous about the sizing and if the gore would sit too high, but both have been good! I got this and a Gorteks Pamela on sale from Lavinia Lingerie, using their sizing guide in cm, terrified it would be wildly inaccurate and I would be stuck with something so big it would eat me alive. Instead, both bras are the closest to perfect in fit I've tried so far! I love the shape it gives me, and it looks perfect under a T-shirt. About this bra: The fabric colorway is beautiful, moving from a ...sweet lavender to a dusty blue, all in high saturation. The mesh softens with a light vinegar wash, I do not find it scratchy at all. I edited out my nipples, their outline inside the bra is quite visible in real life, however no headlight effect so far. It is light but sturdy. I barely notice it against my skin, yet it held me wonderfully while playing hard with my dog. The gore does not tack quite perfect, but very close, and the wires touch in the center. The wires are a bit wider than the Gorteks bra, but not uncomfortably so and less than my Wacoal Perfect Primer. They do come up a tad high on the side for me and can poke sometimes when I slouch too much. Since I am rather petite (5'1"), this is pretty common in most bras. It is not bad enough to be a deal-breaker for me. The band is not as snug as the Gorteks, but does not ride up even when the straps are cranked super tight. Considering I'm between a 32 and 34 band US, I'm not surprised about that. There is no side boning, but it doesn't seem to need it. The cups do a great job of lifting and shaping me, but could use a little more immediate projection at the wire. As you can see, there's wrinkling along the bottom after a few hours wear. The wires don't perfectly follow my IMF, but not sure if that's because of the projection issue, my armpits pushing it down at the sides when I slouch (my posture is terrible), or if I might be omega-shaped. None of it is a deal-breaker. The top follows my larger breast perfectly. There is gaping at the top of my smaller breast, I intend to put a small tuck in to address that. The thing that really sold me on this bra is the removable straps. They are soft, wide, and a good length. The little jewel is glued on, but seems solid. Both at the back and front, they have the hooks to remove them from the bra, so you can convert this to racerback or halter easily. Love it! I am concerned those clips may snap eventually, they feel plastic, but replacements are not hard to find and install.
My shape: Still learning, but I know I am very projected and a little center full, narrow shoulders and petite but fluffy. I think I am slightly more full on top, especially on the larger side, and I think I have average bordering on narrow root width. One side is almost a full cup larger than the other, I have started fitting for this side with plans to alter the smaller side to fit. Would love any advice to help me find even better fitting bras.

FYI this review is done by person who sells Kinga in Canada which means the band and cup size will be always correct as I am able to fit myself with sister sizes. This model uses construction 800. Gives round shape, forward and pushing breast together to the centre Band fits tru to its size do not downsize, you might have to go up in cup size. Bra is beautiful with a bow and it is made out of French lace. It has double mesh lining and internal meshy side support.
Maybe you should try a bigger 80 band? If you want to try it, contact me at contact@bras4you.com. I have access to Kinga's bras and not only.:)
