  This is such a gorgeous bra. For Bra Science! I haven't heard that phrase in a few months, haha!

  It is a gorgeous bra. I should have noted also that the embroidery on it is NOT white - it is CHAMPAGNE, which is SOOOOOO pretty combined with the black and beige/nude.

• Looks very lovely on you. Love the combination of sheer panel and embroidery. Very pretty with lots of visual interest. I totally feel ya when you say you choose the smaller size to get more oomph out of it. Sometimes I fall in between two sizes and generally pick the smaller to get a better look.

• Our sizes are actually quite similar in measurements, but it’s my softer tissue vs your firmer tissue that really sets us apart. I become more fob and that can drag my cup size down a little whereas your implants create a firmer and rounder shape that’s more fot so you might have to size up. It’s basically a tale of two boobs. 😂

  Calluna it is indeed a take of 2 boobs lol
  As my implants "drop and fluff" my bra size actually gets bigger because more tissue "falls" into the cup of the bra as opposed to sitting up and out of it. Right after my surgery in October I was 65FF in Ewa. Then I went to 65G. Now, I'm starting to wish for 65GG. I should send you my FFs because I never wear them anymore and it's a shame that they just sit in my drawer. 🙈😐😥

• I’m open to the 65FFs. I can send you my Yvette if you want a second one, lol. I just don’t have a lot of money right now to buy so I am mostly trading. We’re working on paying down balances and rebuilding our savings after a long stint with one income. I have been able to get new glasses finally, so baby steps.

  Thanks MamaPagan ! One pair is just a cheap plastic pair from the groupon I used for the exam (glasses are free). I didn’t really have a lot of options given my face is very small and the Groupon selection is not very big. And I have three pairs from Zenni coming. Though I do not know if any of them will work, but I have a back up pair at The Bay that are a $99 complete pair.

• Sorry for the duplicate post

• Just out of curiosity... does drop and fluff mean the implant gets softer? I am confused why that happens.

  Sovavosi when the implant is first put in, the pectoral muscle goes into shock and tightens up. The body pushes the implant up and in - at first, in fact, it looks almost square against your chest. Also, the skin around it is very tight. It was only "big" enough to encapsulate the natural breast tissue. There is also swelling for quite a few weeks/months - especially in the morning. After time, as the swelling subsides, the pectoral muscle relaxes and the skin stretches, the implant sinks down and the entire breast "relaxes". The implant itself isn't softer...the tissue around it is.

  Looks very lovely on you. :)

  Thank you for explaining 😀

• Calluna I hope they all work for you. 🍀

  It’s funny, I have the same problem with the same shape (round, orb-like) and a lot of firmness in my tissue once my breast is lifted and compressed- the gore not tacking at the top unless I wear very firm wires. But my breasts are natural and I wear a 42HH. My doctor calls my breasts fibrous.

• 1

  Thanks MamaPagan. I have a few reservations because none of the zenni ones are 100% perfect in all areas. One is a good lens width, bridge and colour, but I’m concerned about the temple length and lens depth. One has a wider bridge than I would like but shorter temples, and the third has pretty good measurements but as it is also a kids frame, it has octopus and starfish on the arms. So cute, but kiddie cute. So we’ll have to see.

• While I have implants, my breast tissue is quite squishy and soft, and I never had that initial riding high and hard/round look or feel. I know my doctor created a larger pocket (taller) and I was told to squish them up into the pocket several times a day for the first month (both times I had them done) to keep the pocket from closing. He said it was to keep them soft and prevent that hard singular placement that screams implants. 😄 I never tack and I quad very easily.
  Each breast/implant experience is unique I guess!

  @Calluna I am hopeful you will get a pair you love. 💕

  MamaPagan I think it depends upon the surgical technique used also. I was FORBIDDEN to massage my implants. Mine are soft and natural now. Now that I have a man who loves big breasts, I just wish I had gone with the bigger size LOLZZ I could only go one cup size larger though...and they would have had an even rounder top (more sterotypical implant look), so it's not like I lost out on a lot.

• AGBras True, techniques vary as well. If I ever get mine redone (they are over 15 years old now 😬) I would go bigger as well. I know it sounds insane but I would. I have 650cc high profile saline now, and I'd get 800cc extra high profile silicone semi cohesive next go around. Honestly if the 1200cc silicone implant was legal in the US, I'd do it. 😄

• MamaPagan omg. You're too much. I have 450CC high profile silicone gel. The absolute max my dr. would put in my chest was 475cc (had to go ultra high profile to get that in the width that fit my chest) and she really didn't want to do it as she said it would look too fake, so we didn't.

• Under or over the muscle? Mine are under the muscle which gives 20% compression but doesn't give that ball on the chest look typically. First set I had 450s but when I got my revision 6 months later, I went with 650s. If he was going to be in there anyway, why not?
  I said I sounded crazy! 😄

• Too projected at the apex? I think Panache Jasmine does this also.

• Yes, I think so. But I also think that the combination of the padding and unpadded is a problem in that area with that depth. A softer bra in the same depth would fit better.

• Too bad it didn't fit, it's a pretty black bra for sure. I see what you mean about the side profile though... odd. Good luck on your hunt for the perfect black bra!

• Thanks Wilderness1!

  If you go yeaaaaaars back in my no longer owned bras you will see a too-large Kris Line semi-padded bra. This style of bra usually looks really pointy when the cup is too big for you, cos of the slightly rigid lower half.

• wendybien yes, I was thinking that it might be a size issue for the pointy shape on me for the same reason you suggest, but there’s also something about the way it fits at the wire is weird. It’s theoretically a deep bra, and allegedly has oodles of space at the wire, but it just doesn’t feel like that on me.

• Calluna this bra is simply too big for you. I have it in the same size and since I am more than a full cup size larger than you, it makes sense that you're not filling the cup. Like wendybien stated, if a semi-soft bra is too big, it will look pointy because there isn't enough tissue to fill the lower section and the top section too. The top part needs to be filled in order to push the soft section out. Your soft tissue is just tumbling down into the lower part of the cup. I think the cup height etc is also a size issue. It's just being pulled into your body too flatly...does that make sense? I'll post my photos and review of this bra very soon...I just got back from Cuba late last night ;)

• Calluna are you saying you think the pointiness and the shallow cup base issue are connected? I don't think so, no. Two separate issues IMO.

• wendybien I have this exact bra in this exact size and mine is most definitely not shallow at the wire, so I am confused as to why she senses shallowness. (Head scratching...) The pointiness is definitely an issue of too much empty space in the cup.

• wendybien no, I wasn’t connecting the two.

  AGBras the left (larger) breast does fit the cup decently as in it is not gapping or loose, but at the same, I feel like I do have room for more volume the same way my 65J Ingrid is.

  There’s just something about the bra that doesn’t work and it’s not just the size.

• I’ll try it on again later and try to put into words more about how it feels.

• Ok. So the reason why I’m feeling that this bra is shallow is because I cannot get the wires into my imf. The wires sit about a pinky’s width lower. I took a picture and will try to upload it. The band is perfectly snug. Adjusting the straps tighter or looser makes no difference in the wires fitting my imf. The tighter straps, however, do make the cups a little bit better fit on my big side. I agree that it is a little bit too big. Not a lot though. I would say no more than 1 size. Maybe not even a full size. It’s really not hugely big on me ...I think that the taller sides do exaggerate it some, and my asymmetrical breasts will always look big on my smaller side.

  In any event, I am listing it for giveaway or exchange. It’s useless to me regardless of whether it’s size or shape issues.

  AGBras I don't think it is a shallow bra per se, nor shallower than average at the wire--but the combined factors of the angle of the lower cup element, the robust materials of that lower cup and the fact that this particular size's construction and proportions are designed to lift a fuller, taller and heavier breast, may be contributing to this fit issue.

  Judging from the other user photos it is definitely a bra that looks like it's designed to give a lot of lift.

• wendybien I think you meant for this comment to be addressed to Calluna.

  And...it makes perfect sense, as this bra, in this size, fits me perfectly and my breasts are fuller (especially on top, which takes up space near the strap) as well as heavier than hers.

• 1

  AGBras oh no I was answering the comment you made about being puzzled that she perceived it to be shallow at the wire! You may have forgotten about that by now--it was a while ago, I hadn't been back in a few days, sorry!

• Sorry this does not fit well. I hope you find a black bra that you like.

  braluv i have a black 30FF Curvy Kate Lifestyle Plunge on the way, and AGBras sent me a few black ones to try. I just got yesterday so I’ll be adding data soon.

  Calluna Oh awesome!! I'll be looking forward to seeing your reviews!

  braluv I have been trying one of the bras AGBras sent for the last few days so I’m going to see if I can get a review or at least some first impressions out soon.

  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

• Or the Ewa Michalak BM Landrynek ;)

• 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. 😖

• 1

  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.
