This is a gorgeous lively aqua colored bra! Sadly it doesn’t fit. Wires are too wide and straps too far apart for me. Band is a nice and firm for a 30. Fabric is very beautiful. Center gore is nice and narrow. Straps are quite long if you’re on the taller or lower boobed side. Elastic meets a coordinating non stretch section along the front of the strap. If you’re short or high boobed they aren’t going to adjust short enough for you. It does give a lovely shape if Kris Line is for you.
I've had a KL molded/padded plunge before and I find they are quite shallow at the cup edge. It's SO pretty, I'm excited for you that you can wear it despite the lack of tacking! However I think between the shallow cup edge and the fact these run so small, someone with a similar breast volume and soft tissue would be quadding like crazy and/or possibly just falling into the middle of it. 9" depth is very small for 65GG.
This is a moulded cup bra with floral printed satin cups and stunningly beautiful embroidered lace on the cradle and straps.
The colour is true fuschia.
The straps are detachable abd therefore, multiway.
Band is a true 65. Measures 65 unstretched.
I would say that it has above average projection all the way around the wire, but for me, it just isn't enough, so despite being too large in the cup, it doesn't tack.
Being a plunge, it has a lower gore with z very pretty satin rosette decoration. This usca nice change from the standard bow.
This is a GREAT bra for someone with softer breast tissue.
What a pretty color! When the top edge sticks straight up like that but you can't even get close to tacking, I would say that is a case of a bra that is too shallow and too small--not actually too big, since the depth is very insufficient for you. At less than 9" deep and 6" wide it is a very shallow cup design indeed, so to get sufficient depth in this bad boy you would need to size up to a cup so tall it would be poking you in the chin ;-)
wendybien i love your comments. They help me understand so much!! Yes, this bra is gorgeous...and now i know what shape it is meant for 🙏
In fact, the color is even nicer. Unfortunately, it turned out to be not matching but now you know more about KL's and you know what styles suit you better. Thank you.
AprilGoulding aw thank you, that's music to my compulsively-advice-giving ears :-D MagdaBras4you yes, all of these satin-effect prints by Kris Line are so beautiful in person, I really love how they look. This style is a fantastic cleavage/evening wear option for people with a shallower breast shape. It is much prettier than the similar options in super-pushup/padded styles available at a comparable price point in the USA.
This is the second Krisline set that I ordered from Jagna. When I found the cherry blossom Silcilia set that I wanted so badly for so long, I bought a second set to justify the shipping cost lol
Valerie is a beautiful aqua bra with aqua and metallic sky blue embroidery. The details on this bra are gorgeous...just like with the other one, even the straps have embroidery.
When the 65G Silcilia fit, I was surprised that I needed to size up in this style. The cups just aren't as deep. In the 65G Valerie, the gore was more than a finger width away from tacking and I could ...feel my breasts pushing the wires down into my ribs. Ouch. No thanks.
When I put on the 65GG this problem was eliminated. The cups still lack a little depth...I don't get a tack in this size either, but it's close and there's no pain.
The band on the 65GG feels looser than the 65G...but that could just be in my head, since I know it's a bigger bra? I'll measure later.
2 hooks. 4 rows. Side boning. Partially adjustable straps.
The embroideries are beautiful. But...this bra does not match its online photo. In the online photo, the embroidery pattern matches the lace on the panties. I'm not surprised though, because when googling, you'll find 2 versions of the aqua Valerie bra. The colour match of the knitwear is identical though.
The panties for this set only came in Small. It's a stringo-szorty and I'm certain that this is the size and cut I'll order for KL panties from now on. They're equivalent to EM xs (34/6).
I have a 65G that I can sell if anyone wants. I'll list it tomorrow. Read more 180 more words
That blue is gorgeous 😍 what's your review for your Kris Line? Is it a similar fit to your Ewa's? Wire width wider? Material quality? I have so many questions! :D
DerangedDragons19 the wires are wider. Not crazy like UK brands though. The materials are crazy good. On par with Ewa for sure. The bands are less firm than SOME of my Ewas but not all. The panties are insanely nice also and panties are very important for me. I find Ewas are grandma cut in briefs and she doesn't do Brazilians. P.S. I wear 65G in EM and I'm clearly around there in KL as well. I have another style coming from Magda, so I may get a better gauge then...to know which one is the outlier - the Sicilia or Valerie.
AprilGoulding Hm. I don't think the wire width would be too much of an issue for me. I'm kinda used to one thing or another causing initial pain that kinda subsides after a while. It's a little sad, but it's also the inevitable truth. (Sidenote: I'm hoping that sizing up is going to help with my issues) Oh good! I was honestly a little concerned how the materials might feel in comparison, especially how some of the bras have intricate patterns on them. Hm. Ewa bands are hit and miss. I'm not sure what to believe is an outlier anymore. My 65 bands all measured weird. As long as they fit, it's cool with me 😂 Ugh true! I love the matching sets! They just make you feel so much prettier (is that just a me thing?) I agree a little bit with your assessment of Ewa's briefs. Some of them just sit weird. Others (very rarely) sit like a Brazilian brief. I'm not huge on thongs, so that's a no go for me :( Ooh good! I'm very curious! I have one KL in a 65L coming, and I'm pretty excited about it too!
DerangedDragons19 Ewa's high waisted panties don't fit me right either, heh. Not sure what you tried.
Sovavosi I normally get the briefs. I've never tried the high waisted panties myself. Been curious, but.. this mom bod has an ample amount of leftover skin from my pregnancies haha. I'm afraid it would just look weird
This colour is amazing. I love love love the aqua. This is perfect for spring!
Yes, rachaelll I plan to buy colours from Krisline that EM just won't carry...aqua, mint, peach, yellow, lilac, etc. I'm also going to try their semi padded Afrodita soon. It comes in 65 band ;) I get sick of lace and embroideries are a nice change. Not to mention the panties. Their panties are utter perfection.
I'm scared of high waisted panties. Between mom bod issues and having a waist that is in line with my upper torso and hips, my side is basically a straight line. I think I would end up with a lot of cutting in at the waist. So I go for low waisted bottoms. I do love having coordinating panties!
I still have to try the low waisted and thong panty style from Ewa, haha.
I love the colour too. I’m contemplating on the Comexim Pearl Flower Mint when I order. I have a 65G S Mojito coming to me (technically it’s delivered, but to my friend in LA, and I don’t arrive in LA until late on the 13th). I’m excited about the colour but quite nervous about the fit.
Calluna you found a Mojito?? Where did you find that treasure? I'd give an arm...
Girl in a FB group. She’s pregnant and she’s probably not going to fit them (I have an orchezowa pralinka? also coming) so I got them for a good deal.
(The right wing comes up to 3.625, as it is slightly stretched more than the left side, which measures 3.5 and is the value recorded.)
I surprised how differently this bra fit compared to Princessa, since they are the same size and from the same brand.
The colors on this bra are PHENOMENAL! I love the patterned cups, which are really soft to the touch, and essentially unpadded (their thick enough for modesty, but not padded). My photos don’t do this bra any justice color wise — the cups are magenta and the flowery detailing is gold. The lace below the cups and on the gore is very thick ...and durable, and looks like delicate pink flowers connected by purple vines. The lace is set into mesh, so it breathes well, as does the band. The band is SO SOFT and velvety, and it quite stretchy. The elastic lining the botttom and top edges of the band is nice and thick.
Unfortunately, it is at least a cup size too big, possibly two: check out that crazy gaping! The gore had no problem touching me and laying flat this time, though it was all too happy to dig into my sternum painfully. The lace, although incredibly beautiful, drapes down past the edge of the band. It’s awesome aesthetically, but I find it very itchy when pressed against my skin. The straps are more than long enough to multiway comfortably, and do so easily with clips in both the front and back. Once again, the cup is both too wide on my body and hits me too far back. This combined with the cup being too tall causes some intense cutting in at the underarm — it actually left marks after only being tried on for a few minutes! That might be due in part to some lace that lines the top edge of the cup from the point where the strap attaches to where it meets he band, however.
Although this bra has room for center-fullness, the gore is decently wide. I think this bra would be ideal for someone who is center full, but also also slightly wide-set. Read more 250 more words
It is soooo pretty. I nearly cried when this one didnt fit me... I am center full (round breasts like softballs) and quite wide set, but it wouldn't tack on me and i had emptiness at upper cups. .. so i don't know...it fit me similar to the padded Gaia Robyn bra that I tried...
Aww don't cry folks... I have been checking out (and occasionally buying) KrisLine bras on Zulily over the past few years and they definitely used this print, in various colors, on more than one cut of bra. So hopefully you can find one that works for you!
wendybien It is discontinued but have searched High and low for thé softcup...to no avail. I shall continue...
This is a good bra for cleavage. It has very dense padding in the bottom of the cup. Very similar to a VS bra. However because of the padding It seems to run a cup size small, or maybe a half cup. Either way its just enough that I have the faintest quading. This dissappears under a shirt, but I have very soft tissue, so it may be an issue exclusive to my tissue type.
I LOVE the cleavage this gives me, but I don't feel terribly well supported. The band is thin and snug, but it doesn't feel like it's doing much structurally speaking. The wires are ...about the right width, and very soft. Because the wires they give so easily they don't seem to do much either. I feel abit like a bouncy castle in this. Which, could be a problem for more active women. Again, might be an issue exclusive to softer tissue.
The straps are a bit too short for me, maybe a centimeter or so. It's close enough that I can deal with it, but if you have lower breasts or a long torso it might not be super comfy for you. The placement of the straps, however seems to be about right. Slightly too wide, but not bad. The pro is that the straps are fully removable, which makes this bra way more versatile.

I have had this bra for a little while but I do not wear it that often because I think the padding too much. Then again its also my only bra that is close to my skin color, so I wear it more then I realize. The folded fabric on the bottom of the cups will show through thin shirts. I hate how bra designers make a t-shirt bra then add little embellishments that SHOW under shirts. The wire sit below my IMF because there is a layer of padding along the bottom causing the wires too crushes my ribs a little. The gore too high but because it is thin its not as bad a others. The band pretty stretchy and true to size. It give nice cleavage when I first scoop and swoop but everything falls apart once I move.
I love this brand. and this bra. So pretty and perfect for what I want. good subtle cleavage, nice lace, good support. Lightly padded lower cup with lace upper. looks pretty when you can see it peeking out under your tops https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
This bra is gorgeous. The sweet peach color, paired with the cute lace details and little droplet shaped bead on the gore are sure to look stunning on anyone! Plus, all of the lace is very soft and away from the skin, so nothing scratches or is itchy in any way (a common gripe for me and lace).
The band and cups feel soft, not too much padding, sized just right. I like the way these cups are more thickly padded at the bottom and taper off going up, feeling like I’m getting extra support from underneath, but not enough to be called equivalent to a cookie or ...a push-up; it’s enough for modesty and support, but does not feel too thick at all. If only the cups weren’t so tall, or were more centered and lower at the sides! The cup cuts into my underarms fiercely (see photos) to the point that it will be unwearable for me, since putting my arms down fully forces the bra down by pushing the wire down and away from my breasts. The cup also goes back farther than I need it to due to being too wide, leaving me feeling sort of forced East-West. The gore is comfy, but does not lie flat, only touches me on one side diagonally (see photos). It also feels like this bra slides down at the front center on me — I think my boobs may be pushing it away from my body, but I’m really not sure. The multiway function is crucial for me, but these straps are much, MUCH too short to be used for that, though they detach with convenient little hooks in both the front and back, so swapping them out would be extremely easy.

Very cute. Love the colour. I can see how it is a bit easy west though. Bummer.
Sorry that it doesn't fit you either :(
AprilGoulding do you happen to know if Kris Line’s wires are just very soft or shaped differently than most other brands? I’ve never had a tack diagonal like that before, and I remember you having said something about Kris Line and soft tacking in the past.
Robras I get a softer tack in soft cups.. I got no tack in their padded styles...cups are too shallow. I suspect that diagonal business is also due to lack of depth...especially at the gore. I get weird tacking (or lack thereof) in all padded bras except Ewa M. Nothing is projected enough except EM.
@wendybien comment on diagonal tack?
I find KL wires softer than Ewa but same as Gorsenia. I love them. Comfy. As for wire shape, i find them more open than Gorsenia and Ewa, this is why I bend them in my softcups until they're a real capital U shape.
Robras this is a super simple issue masquerading as an obscure technical one--the cup is WAY too big for you. That is why the wires are a-wanderin' -- the cups aren't even filled enough to keep the structure of the bra cup stable against the chest wall. I can see that its measured depth matches yours but you have to remember that BtB prompts you to measure from end to end of wires. On some bras with low gores, this will be a super sharply tilted diagonal measurement instead of going horizontally, so depending on cup shape that often is VERY very far from matching the actual [horizontal] breast perimeter that the bra is meant to contain. If you were to measure horizontally along the inside of one of these cups, from outer wire to an imaginary point where a hypothetical taller gore would end, you'd probably find a measurement that is 1-1.5" larger than your own lying down breast perimeter.
AprilGoulding I would say compared to many plunges this one has pretty decent projection but unfortunately still not enough for you as your upper inner boob quadrant is taller, wider and fuller than an un-augmented person's, and also not particularly compressible. In a more appropriate size it could perhaps work for Robras.
wendybien i learn something for you everytime. So grateful 🙏
You're welcome AprilGoulding , you know I'm only too happy to ramble on about bras :-D
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
I bought this before realizing that Kris Line needs a size up because it sizes in 2 cm cups instead of 1 inch (2.5cm). So at a standard 30:10, I need a 65 H (Kris Line uses EU numbering and UK cup sizes - otherwise 65J or 30H).
It did arrive today and is a cup size too small. Interestingly, it ...is very loose band too. The label equates 30 with a French 80 instead of 75. It does have the same material at the back frame as my Empreintes and does not seem to ride up. The band also has four columns of eyes.
The construction and shape is a lot like the Cleo Lucy. This tends to be both cutting on my centre fullness and droopy in shape. I think it is because the top part of the cup attaches farther down the diagonal seem (closer to the apex) than where the strap attaches. Not so good for tall roots/FoT.
Straps are scalloped, but also embroidered in the front so full adjustment might be tough. Elastic at top edge of the cup. Cups made of two layers of no stretch mesh.
Second attempt at "butt crack cleavage" This once is 9/10 for me. I purchased this bra for very little from another user. It was a shot in the dark, insurance for I'd my second KL didn't pan out.
I am **so glad I bought this bra**. It has a few issues, but it's giving me the cleavage I want. First of all, the color is really wacky and fun. It photographs cherry red, but in reality it's a hot coral or watermelony color. It has lovely lace appliques along the bottom band and straps, and very sweet ruching at the center of the cups.
The straps are ...very thin, which I like because it opens up a lot of wardrobe options. On my 6'0 frame they're a bit short, bit this shouldn't be an issue for your average cookie. They are fully adjustable. Which is nice for more petite women, and *fully removable*. I personally love this feature because I can convert it to a racer back, which has always worked best for me.
The cups cut in a bit, but I think this is more a product of my tissue being very center full and soft. There is actual foam padding in the cup, circa VS. Id never seen a EU or UK bra with that. But i like it. The cut in is not at all noticeable under clothing. I was a little worried about the ruching, but because of its placement you can't see it (even under cotton spandex).
Overall, the only thing I would change is the size I bought. I think an H would have been great, but I may not have got such wonderful cleavage. ☺
A tad too small but is definitely wearable and has become more comfortable the more I wear it. Very firm band, but again seems to stretch out a little with regular use. Extremely pretty lace and soft comfortable cups that mould nicely around my boobs and give an overall rounded, but slightly pointed shape (in a nice natural way, not a scary pointy way). The gore sits a bit higher than I would normally like so I do get a bit of squishing on my tissue. But it's best fitting bra I've found so far in my Polish bra journey!
Very nice bra, but unfortunately it doesn't fit me. The center gore doesn't lie flat, and when I force it flat against my sternum I get the quad effect. I estimate the cups are 1 or 2 sizes too small for me. The bra has quite a bit of pushup padding in the bottom of the cup...if it didn't have so much padding it's possible it might fit me.
The smoothness of the cups would be great for wearing under t-shirts for a seamless look. The silhouette from the side is a very raised and rounded appearance. Unfortunately the silhouette the bra gives me from the front is ...quite a bit wider than I prefer. (When I move my arms forward, they rub on the sides of the bra cup.) The top side of the cup cuts into my armpits a little bit which would quickly become annoying with wear; I suspect this is likely related to the wide silhouette the bra gives, which is just too wide for me. (I'm comparing to Ewa S styles, which have a very narrow appearance from the front.) Read more 78 more words
I SO wanted to love this bra - and I do - but you can see from the photo that it absolutely doesn't fit! The cups are padded, so the quadboob is even worse than it could be. It recalls Victoria's Secret in an OK way, i.e. fabulous padded push-up. The color was also perfect on me (my Zyla romantic shade if anybody knows what that means...)
I'm a 30GG or thereabouts these days, so I think a 30F or so would find this bra lovely.
I've realized that my problem with Kris Line is that it's designed for much more narrow, projected boobs than mine. I've had to go up several sizes to make the cup wide enough as to not hurt or push tissue out the side, and in such the cup is too deep in the center. This bra is obviously meant to give a push-up effect and it doesn't for me because the top is way too deep and open. It looks fine enough when I'm adjusting and standing up straight but after time my boobs settle way down into the cups, and spending time laying down on my friend's couch there was a ridiculous amount of space between the top of the cup and my boob. Also in walking around the stiff, embroidered straps were quite painful against my armpits. Also worth noting this band is longer than other bands on KL bras I've tried (closer to a Freya than a Cleo).
This is close to fitting, but the cups are a tad too big. There is some empty fabric along the top, otherwise I would consider keeping it. The fabric is nice, and I like the color. It felt comfortable for the short time I tried it on.
Sooo far off from labeled size. Band barely stretches to 29". Cups quite small as well, and noticeably closed/tight on top. I couldn't even get it on me.
I've tried so hard to find a size of Kris Line that fits, mostly because I adore their panties, but it looks like their bras are just not for me. They really demand a narrow, projected, center-heavy shape. I can never fill out the top section and my nipple is so far off from the apex of the cup that it creates an awkward shape. I think this is about where I give up on the brand.
Very firm band - it stretches to 28" but that's where it stops. There is no way to stretch it past that point without pulling the bra apart. I can just about close it, but it's definitely too tight - with a 2 column extender, it's perfect. I find many unlined KL's to have small bands, so maybe they're worth checking out for people in the sub-28 band range.
The wires and gore are too wide but I don't feel them, and a gore is easily narrowed. The straps are a whole 0.8" wide which actually feels great. Wire length and wing height are so comfortable on me - ...just high enough without jabbing me in the armpits.
My boobs look fantastic in this bra. The shape is very uplifted and high without falling too much into too round or too pointy territory. The main colour is a shimmery black with dark charcoal swirly floral embroidery. The top part is sheer while the bottom cups are lined with black mesh. I really like how the top looks, and I wonder what a completely sheer version of this would be like. Read more 80 more words
Looks great. You can try bending the wires. I sent you a message;)
