Anisa Semi Soft in 60P
Anisa is a semi soft bra, with light foam padding on the bottom of the cup and slightly stretchy lace on the top. It would be comparable to Kinga’s semi soft style bras. This particular bra is a very dark blue lace, and is quite beautiful. While Nazeli shows this bra on their website without eyelash lace, what I received has it, which was a surprise.

The quality of the materials does appear exceptional, especially for the price, and it is very well made. I did experience an oddity with mine due to the size, as they chose to use a 60I label and ... a sharpie to make the “I” into a P, and I can only assume it’s due to them not having the 60P label on hand. Since I ordered 3 55R and 2 60P, I had this done on all 5 of my bras (the sharpie method) which did not work so well as it is smeared on half of the bras, and altogether just has a tacky look to it. I realize that “standard” sizes would not experience this, but the larger cup sizes will. If you are like me, you will be very bothered by this, so it is worth noting. As I like proper labels on my bras, this does bother me more than it really should, haha.

Now on to the measurements!

All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 24” and stretches to a max of 29”. It has 3 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops. This makes it a bit big for a true 28 band, but not far off in comparison to most brands of late.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 14.5”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 17”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

As for the remaining measurements, the cup width is 6.75”, height 10.25”, wing 5.88”, with a gore of 3.75” tall and 0.88” wide.

As for fit,
You all better realize just how much I love you to put myself out there in such an embarrassing fit. And there are still two more bras to go, so I am hoping that someone gets something positive out of these reviews (photos) so I don’t have to feel so stupid. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":-o" />

The conclusion is another Fail, but I’m sure that was a given with the photos, haha. The cups are clearly 2-3 cups too large, the gore is too wide set, the wing is too tall, the straps are too long, and the wires wrap around almost to my back. This last part is in part due to the cups being too large but also the insanely wide wires on a 28 band. Seriously people: If the rib cage equals less than 28” around, why would you think that the person would need the wires to take up 13.5” of that space without factoring in stretch distortion? I should be near or at high tide, so this is the fullest point of the month for me, so the fit would not improve without a lot of new growth, like a soccer ball’s worth of new growth, haha.

Consolidated disclaimer for all my Nazeli reviews: While each Band cup combo can experience different scaling, unfortunately in my range their scaling is obscenely wonky. My bust is 42” (106.75cm) and I ordered 55R and 60P (26:17 & 28:16) which would be my normal index range size. Nazeli size chart puts the cms for 55R=104-106 and 60P=107-109. In Ewa I wear 60KK-L which is labeled as 109-111.5cm and in Comexim I wear 60Q=104-106.
