I’ve reviewed this bra already more in depth here: 70HH - Kris Line » Kiara Black Half Cup Soft (FW19-05-L-1000).

I’m so glad that I gave the 65I size a try! Every fit issue I had with the 70HH is totally better. The band is nice and snug on the first set of hooks, the cups are sprung back enough where they aren’t sitting on tissue, and the cups are filled across the top and not gappy. I noticed that compared to the 65I - Kris Line » Selena Half Cup Soft (FW21-F08-L1000-BY), the gore and cup style fit much better on this bra. ... The gore is tall, but still tacks for me (which is amazing because I’m super center-full and usually tall gores sit on tissue). The gore on the Selena is too short, and my boobs escape out the middle. That is not a problem with the Kiara. Also, because the gore is higher, the cups themselves are more horizontal across the top instead of being angled down like the Selena (due to the shorter gore). Overall, a way better fit than the last size I tried in this bra. I’m so happy! I also purchased the Brazilian high waisted panties to go with this as a set because I just love it so much.

Gorgeous bra and I am *SO* disappointed.

My first half cup. Honestly, if it weren’t for the cups being slightly too tall, the wires being too narrow, and the straps being too wide, I think this could’ve been a win. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

This bra is a 2 part construction with a side support panel (so I guess technically it’s a 3 part construction) and is shaped like a traditional half cup (aka, vertical seam and shorter, open cups). Gives a lot of lift! It’s made of mesh with floral embroidery with lace on the band and an ADORABLE magenta bow on the gore with ... little tiny beads. The band is super stretchy, which is odd because Kris Line bras are typically pretty firm/tight. The gore is narrow, but kinda tall, and I don’t get a tack. I would say that the sizing is pretty true to Kris Line sizing, ie a 70HH is probably a good fit for a 34GG wearer, but it’s definitely for someone who is very narrow and FoT.

As you can probably see from the pictures, there are some major issues with this bra:

-wires are too narrow and sit on my tissue
-cups are slightly too open and have too much space
-it kinda mushes me in, but that helps fill the cups, so I guess it’s whatever, EXCEPT:
-it mushes me so much that the really soft tissue in the center/next to the gore spill out

I believe if the wires weren’t quite so narrow, it would fix a couple of the problems. For instance, if they were wider, my tissue would distribute better to the sides and less toward the middle, probably resolving the problem of the gore not tacking and the soft tissue overflow. I’m wondering if the band is actually too stretchy, which isn’t pulling the wires far enough back, but who am I kidding, it’s just not a match for me. I might hold on to it in hopes of something changing, or maybe I can just wear it for short amounts of time…like, this is a super sexy bra, and I’d just hate to have it stuffed in my drawer.

To me, this is quite clearly a date night bra! It is a beautiful balcony bra but not necessarily supportive. The main fabric on the cups is black mesh and it's decorated with intricate pink flowers. The cup consists of three parts with vertical seams. The cups are U shaped, with the length of the wires pretty much evenly divided. There is a little half pocket on the side of the cups, I guess for optional padding. There is a daint pink bowtie with little beads attached to the gore. The upper part of the band is black mesh, the lower part is lace. It is pretty stretchy. ... I must say, it fits me pretty well! The half cups almost perfectly encapsulate my breasts with only very minimal gaping at the seam, like, if I stretch my arms out in front you notice it, otherwise not. I'd really need some more side support but perhaps I can bend the wires a little to help with that. I am considering keeping this bra, because I currently have no pretty bras like this one.
