I love this bra, I just wish it fit me better!
This is my 2nd Kris Line half cup, and it’s the 2nd one that has a really stretchy band. So my consensus is that the half cup cuts run loose in the band. Also, it’s so funny, in the regular soft cup bras the bands fit TTS but the cups seem too large compared to the same size in the half cups (the 70HH Fortuna soft cup was too large/baggy in the cups but perfect on the band, but the 70HH Kiara half cup fits well for my in the cups even though the band is too loose ... — so my conclusion is to size up for the cup in the half cups and down in the bands compared to whatever size fits in the regular Kris Line soft cups.)
This bra is gorgeous! It’s burgundy lace with a cheetah print band on the top. Half cups really give me a nice shape — I get a little lift and “oomph” to my bust and a good silhouette under clothes.
This half cup is too small and short in the cups, so too much of the top of my bust shows. It looks okay in my pictures, but in person you can definitely tell the cups are slightly too low. The wires are VERY narrow. I didn’t notice it hurting or anything, but I can tell if I wore this long term that it would be an issue. Just looking at the wires with the bra off tells me they’re too narrow. The gore is the perfect height! Compared to my 70HH - Kris Line » Kiara Black Half Cup Soft (FW19-05-L-1000), the gore is shorter and doesn’t sit on tissue. I’m not sure how the gore would fit on a size up, though.
I’d I’m able to do a return to jagna.pl, I’m going to try this in a 65I. I think that size will be what works for me for these half cups.
(PS: just a note on an observation from buying quite a few Kris Line bras directly from Poland — I’ve noticed that most of the Kris Line bras I’ve purchased that have come straight from their warehouse have an odor (almost like a stale cigarette smell). Not sure if it’s the dyes/materials or if it is cigarette smoke for real, but just something to be aware of is anyone is considering purchasing any Kris Line bras from Polish websites that stock from their warehouse directly. The odor does go away after being washed, but just something to be aware of.)

Congrats on the bra win!!
I don't remember odor on the bra I purchased - which was actually directly from KrisLine.com (I used a proxy buying service to purchase bras in Poland, even though I live in Canada). It was Kris Line Fortuna (here is my review) which was directly from their website.
I've never had an issue with odor - NeVER - with my Polish bras.
The only issue I've had are the made-in-China bras, Panache wired sports bra. Why is there always an odor with this bra? No matter how much you wash it, there's always a factory smell with Panache wired sports bra, am I the only one who notices this?? I've had two different ones. Also, I have a super sensitive nose, lol. (I mean, sense of smell).
