The band is altered from a 75 to a 70, by it's previous owner. It fits me well, it's not too tight, but it's not loose either, and I could wear it on any hook. I feel it's a bit stretchy, so I like the fit better on the tightest hook, because I like very tight bands, but I can barely fit two fingers under it. On the loosest hook, I can comfortably fit two fingers. I do have the feeling that it is continuously riding up, but when I touch it or look at it in the mirror, it's exactly where it should be.
The cups ...fit me surprisingly well, and give me a somewhat pointy look, which I like. They gape sometimes when I move, but I think that's because the cups are padded and somewhat keep their shape, and they are a bit open, but I don't think it would be noticeable under clothes, unless they are extremely thin or somewhat sheer.
The gore does not tack at all. I don't understand why, the rest of the wires are in place, but the gore does not tack at all. I tried pushing it into my sternum, because that usually reveals fit issues for me (If it's too wide, cups are small, etc), but when I push it in, the bra is perfect, the cups stop gaping at the top, they don't cut into my tissue, and the gore is not too wide (because it's low, otherwise it would be too wide since I have a lot of centre fullness). I tried tightening the band with my hands, but that doesn't help either. My straps are adjusted too. It might just be the shape of the wire, so I might try to bend the gore towards my sternum, since the wires seem quite soft, although I don't think I'll ever get more than a soft tack.
Other than that, it's comfortable, although I've only worn it for a short period of time. The straps are removable, because it is a multi-way, which means I might be able to use invisible straps, or different coloured straps during the summer. Read more 252 more words
When you manually push the bra into your body, you force the tissue to compress and squish into empty space wherever it exists. The fact that it fits ok when you push the gore in demonstrates that there is enough volume in the cup, but not right where you need it :/ That could be at the wire, at the apex, at the gore, etc. This is a very common problem and reason for a bra not tacking, especially in padded bras.
AGBras I only pushed the gore, but my tissue didn't move. I tried to do this with bras that don't fit well, and there my tissue moves. Here the issue is that the gore, for some reason, is floating, when the cups fit fine. They close off on top when I hold the gore to my sternum, but my tissue stays in place. If it moved, I would definitely know, even if I couldn't see it, because I'm recovering from a very painful mastitis, so every time my tissue moves, even a little, within a bra or without one, it hurts a lot. The thing is, when the gore isn't tacking, I do have enough volume, and my breast tissue doesn't spill out, or anything, there's just some gaping at the top, because the cup kinda opens on top with the gore not tacking, and it could be solved by tightening the straps (I just can't wear straps as tight as I should, due to shoulder pain and a chronic pain condition that doesn't let me have pressure in certain places, and some days, I can't have any kind of pressure anywhere at all). I tried tightening the straps and it helped with the gaping, but I was having a bad day when I tried it on, so the pressure was too much, and I had to take off the bra after a while because it was starting to get too painful.
When I put it on, it feels like the wires have been pushed away from the sternum. I tried pushing them towards mine, and I almost got a soft tack. I haven't tried bending them more.
The website where I bought it said "Adele Semi-Soft Bra M-3039/21", but I checked the official website and I doubt this is "Jackie Semi-Soft M-3039/21". The layered lace at the top is of good thickness, and the bottom has a lovely pink line floral pattern. No sidebones, and I think the straps are slight narrow. I am FOB, this has less immediately projection and also less top projection. The band will going to grow soon.
This bra is really comfy. I waer a 32 band but it feels like 30. So I recommend buying a band size larger than usual. The cups habe removable pads so I can balance my smaller brast easily. The bra keeps on place during the day and is like a second skin. I can suggest this bra for wide and shallow breasts.
I'm on the fence about this bra. It was my husbands favorite out of all of the bras I ordered from Misterna, but I thought it fit a little odd. Construction: Sheer, soft cup, 3 part bra. Fabric isn't as soft as it could be, but I wasn't expecting silk or anything for the price. It's constructed well, but the materials are slightly lower quality compared to other Polish brands. The mesh is a very open weave that may snag or tear easily. The embroidery is very delicate and soft. Fit: This had a whole lot of projection and a rather pointy shape. My husband said it gives a much more natural shape than my other bras. The apex of this bra is a bit higher than I'm used to. The band has a lot of give to it and fits pretty comfortably. I do really like this bra, but I do think perhaps a sling in the cups would provide a more solid support.
You say you like this bra, but your description of it makes me wonder whether you'd still want to keep it if your husband wasn't so fond of it? And I think that's an important question to ask, since you got a bunch of bras that all fit! :) Only keep the ones you really love.
I'll just need to wear it a couple times to decide if it's for me or not. I have no issues getting rid of what doesn't fit. He has a good point in the shape, though. I'll be adding pictures of them all over the next week.
The bra is absolutely gorgeous, I think I squealed a bit when I first saw it. The main material is a violet mesh, double layer in bottom sections, one layer on top. The entire bra is embroidered in a curving thin dark purple vine and leaf pattern, the top edge has geometric embroidered detailing in the same color as well as tiny flowers embroidered in three different shades of purple. The top section, center gore and beginning of straps also have a pinkish embroidered leaf motif. The center gore features a pinkish bow.
This bra reminds me of Curvy Kate a bit in structure and look somehow. It ...has the shape that Curvy Kate bras want to have but don't quite seem to manage to perfect. It has plenty of room at the bottom and it gives a lovely lift from bottom and sides aimed right at your clavicle. The shape isn't as in your face up and rounded as Cleo while it isn't "natural" or pointy either. It is uplifted with just a touch of a point and the overall effect doesn't emphasize breast size.
The underwires are definitely on the soft side and I get why their largest size is only two volumes above this (80I). The underwires just wouldn't be able to handle more weight well. I think the underwires might be even softer than Freya's but unlike Freya that irritated me I find these to be really comfy.
After wearing this bra a couple of times: I am getting even more of a Curvy Kate vibe because this bra also gets a mild upside down 7 effect when it's too small. It is just a tiny bit too small for me, there is cutting in along the top edge for my larger breast and the center gore has trouble tacking because it doesn't have as much center fullness as my breasts need. It would probably be enough for most people, just not for me. Read more 217 more words
It arrived with a small defect, loose stitching in the band connecting to hooks and eyes on the top on both sides.
The bra looks really attractive. Straps are fully adjustable and multiway. I don't recommend wearing it as halterneck if you have a size difference, it really highlighted that the cup is a bit big for my smaller side.
Wonderfully centered and uplifted shape, and wowza, cleavage.
After wearing this bra for a while: The one small issue I have is that the apex is quite projected and a touch conical, my breasts shimmy out of the deepest part of the cup slowly over the duration of the day and into the cleavage.
Materials used are mostly brownish grey with intense magenta accents. The main material is a subdued slightly shiny tone on tone tartan combined with geometric stretch lace. The shade is a bit unique and doesn't translate well to a "nude" bra but it looks gorgeous.
I would say the shape is between a plunge and full cup. Excellent uplift and centering, nice cleavage. I think it fits a touch small in the cups but it helps with the cleavage.
Runs a band size small and doesn't like being worn with an extender, the straps are set so that using an extender will make them rotate and cut in the back. Not comfy.
Straps are removable/multiway so could be worn as crossback or halterneck - straps are fully adjustable. Adjusters and hooks are a matching taupey shade.
