So this is another thrift store find! My heart skipped a beat when I saw 'Kris Line' on the label and then it fell when I saw that it was not remotely close to my size. Oh well, hopefully someone else can enjoy this.
It's a moulded plunge with multiway straps (straps are detachable at the front and back). The white foam cups are quite padded with the padding being thicker at the bottom. There's embroidery on the section of strap closest to the cups and on the front of the band with a fabric rose detail at the gore. The cups are covered with an interesting knit ...marl fabric of metallic plum and black, creating a brindle effect. There's ruching at the bottom of the cups. The band is constructed of a satiny stretch fabric with 2 eyes and 4 column of hooks. The straps seems a bit short as 14" is the longest possible length.
I don't know anything about the fit as it's way out of my size range in both band and cup. The band seems quite stretchy when I measured it though. Also, other reviews have mentioned that Kris Line runs a cup small in this size range. It seems like a bra in which the right fit will give the wearer some amazing cleavage. Read more 113 more words
Note: This bra no longer fits, but I chose elements of the review based on when it did fit as I thought that would be most useful to someone shopping for this bra.
OK, even though the lace/mesh is extremely scratchy, I loved this bra back when it fit. My boobs tend to creep toward my armpit about 5 seconds after I get everything situated, but this bra held them front and center for a lot longer (and a lot better) than most. I actually looked like I had boobs when I wore it, which made me very happy. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> The side support ...could have been what really made this bra work for me, but once it got too small it started irritating my arms (I'd hear/feel the snagging on my clothing), and the little pieces of boning started to bow outwards. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />
One thing I'll concede is that the straps were a bit wide-set for me, but everything else about it made me overlook that for a long time.
Recommended for: Wide root, petite women, and high set breasts. Average to wide shoulders would be best.
Not recommended for: Narrow root, narrow shoulders (unless you are like me and willing to concede this one point). Read more 104 more words
