Kris Line is a brand I don't really hear much about. It seems to have been eclipsed by other Polish brands, which is a shame. I feel like you might be missing out if you don't give at least one of these bras a try! The Jasmine caught my eye when it was on sale on Brastop, and I read the few reviews I could find about it before deciding on a size. There seemed to be a consistent warning that Kris Line tends to have firm bands. With that in mind, I ordered a 32FF instead of, say, a 30G.

I probably could have gotten away ... with a 30G. Not to say the band is incredibly loose, but I have to use the tightest hooks. However, the bra is quite lovely. I love the color, and the lace is a nice touch. And get this: it's NOT SCRATCHY. I find the cup style is very similar to the Cleo Lucy (5851) however the resulting boob shape is quite different. It's one of those three part, unpadded cups. But unlike the Lucy, it seems to make my boobs quite perky and up front. Without a shirt on, the shape could almost be pointy, but trust me, I've had some bras that really gave me that pointy triangle look, and this isn't one of them. I almost want to call this shape "retro" because it's not uber-rounded? But it looks great under a fitted top.

The Jasmine is also a very comfortable bra. Its straps are set in a little closer and the cup height is good in that it doesn't gouge out my armpits, always a concern if you have a petite frame, or high set breasts. Yes, I have actually slept in this bra.

Since I was pleased with the Jasmine, I went ahead and ordered another Kris Line on clearance. I can't wait until it arrives https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

[Update]: The Bratabase info on Kris Line in general is that they are made for close set breasts. I forgot to add -- mine aren't close set, they are more average, with some splaying? Maybe this particular model is different. The gore *is* narrow, but I like it that way. I've found that gores that are too wide dig into my boob area in an unpleasant manner. In addition, I don't like my boobs pushed into my armpits, which some shallower bras tend to do. I like my boobs pushed forward and up.
