This soft cup bra by Nessa is the best fitting soft cup I have found to date! The lace at the top is sheer and looks like it's tattooed to your skin. The beige is slightly darker in real life but in photos has a tinge of pink. Band is stretchy yet firm and like Polish bras like to do this one scoops you front and center but since it's soft does not give torpedo shaping. Soft cup is my new love. They are now structured to be supportive and on days when I don't want a chest front and center they are perfect. I did size down from the other Nessa I own as I have lost a bit of weight and that means slightly smaller boobs. Unlike the Gorsenia bras I own, the top of these cups fits fine without any gapping. Impressed with this bra and great for FOB breasts. 👍👌❤️
You can be my personal shopper any day! Another BEAUTY :-) :-)
The gore base (Nessa vs Gorsenia): which brand has a more narrow gore base? I need short cups. So, Nessa is compelling. :-) Thanks!
This is GORGEOUS!! You find the prettiest bras. I'm glad it fits so well!
Love4Pollinators The gore base swoops the same on both so about 2.5 inches wide (I laid my Gorsenia F on my Nessa H) *but* Nessa is less wide in cup width and more true to size. I had to size down twice to get Gorsenia to fit. The wider wires flattened my breasts rather than scooping and centering them. Does that help?
And the F in Gorsenia is still a wider cup than an H in Nessa. Love4Pollinators
Compared to my other Nessa bras, this style in particular has a slightly stretchier band and after measuring, a slightly larger cup whereas at first I thought it was taller but after measuring it is a larger cup despite being the same size. If I was between sizes, I would definitely go with the smaller cup for this style. The embroidery on this one is everything. The soft cup does a great job of pulling me front and center with the usual wires that are not widely set. I can appreciate this design structure for wires not being in my armpit! 👍❤️👌
ooh gorgeous colors and textures on this bra. Is that inky blue/black or more of a navy? I would be buying this if the straps didn't look too wide-set for me.
Thanks everyone!!! wendybien this bra is more of a navy...do you want me to measure strap width for you?
Oh! The detailing in these bras is so beautiful, and they look like they fit you so well! Are they fairly soft or a bit scratchy?
Wilderness1 Not too bad on the scratchy. I don't really notice unless I get hot then I notice but most my bras get uncomfortable if I start sweating a little. I have not washed them yet but this one in particular is softer than the Nessa I have in the red and beige. I think they have improved their fabrics from the first I got.
And yes on the fit! Instantly comfortable and no side roll in the band. I tend to get that on my smaller side in most bras.
roxannelovesbras well they sure look nice anyways! I'm glad it's not too sctachy!
This bra fits you so well, and looks ravishing. Am unfamiliar with Nessa bras now, but not for long. Am very excited that they are available in my best size, 40B. Thanks.
that's very kind roxannelovesbras but unless they're radically more centered in my size range, I don't think I'm even in the ballpark. To give you a point of reference, the entire product range of Freya and Cleo has straps that are too wide apart for me. EVERY SINGLE bra. lol
Demitasse Oh oh I may have started you on an addiction. You will love it!
Oh no wendybien ! The joys of bra shopping 😉
roxannelovesbras, I could not figures out how to order on the Nessa website. What do I need to do, and are they fairly prompt in filling orders. Even better, is there some place in the USA I could order from?
Demitasse I found it on Amazon US for $58.50 with free shipping (but not Prime). Mio Destino is the seller so it would be shipping from the UK with an estimated time of 6-8 weeks unless you choose expedited for an extra 20 but. They're listing it in UK sizes.
I have to admit I have a little love affair going on with Nessa at the moment. I tend to go overboard when something fits plus red...who can resist red? This one fits like my others and pulls everything front and center with slight rounding because of the soft cup. Materials are beautiful and the little extra charm at the gore is pretty. Every Nessa bra so far has a different one. Overall a great bra and I will put it into my rotation of wear. Looking forward to seeing how it wears over time.
Thank you everyone! I really do love this brand. I feel like I have found my holy grail in soft cups :)
I'm really tempted by this bra but recently depth near the gore for my center fullness has been my big deal breaker on so many bras.
Would you describe yourself as more center, outer, or even-full?
This is absolutely gorgeous! That is the perfect red for a bra. And I agree with other commenter- it's like these bras are made for you. Are you sure you are not their fit model? ;-)
@rainbraspetals I am more even full rather than centered. Has overlapping gores from Comexim worked? I haven't checked your profile...maybe you tried already?
I actually think I am currently in possession of two Comexims with overlapped gores; the Florence I just added, and the Small Quail, both seem to have the gore overlapped at the top (and smaller measurements than the normal, 0.6 vs 0.8, though not a dramatic difference). I've never had problems with gore discomfort, not even the super-hard tacks I've gotten with some Panache/Cleos, so it hasn't been something I've ever aimed for; if anything I think I might need higher gores to keep my boobs separated.
My #1 need in a bra is sufficient projection; I'm narrow-rooted, with 5"-across cups being ideal, but plain ole wide wires don't cause me discomfort the way that shallow bras do. But center fullness messes with the shape of many of my plunges, and sometimes mimics FOT-ness (I'm more even in reality) to cause quadding.
Still, I've been looking to try more bras that are explicitly shout-outed for center full-friendliness, to see if I like the shape I get in them better :)
Roxanne, so far I have resisted spending the money for a Nessa bra, but your sultry photos are making it harder and harder for me.
Demitasse My bad! I really do like their bras and the size range in these ones in particular is very good too. Another reason I like them. Thanks on the photos :)
I am really enjoying my new Nessa soft cup bras! The colors on this one and the embroidery are just so gorgeous. Compared to my other Nessa bra, the band on this one runs slightly smaller but I can still comfortably close the band on the last set of hooks without it being uncomfortable. Maybe it's the different materials used? No idea but the rest of the measurements seem to be close except the cup width which really could just be me not measuring properly or a slight bit of bend in one over the other. This bra gives front and center shaping like other ...Polish bras and is comfortable to wear. I am beginning to really appreciate the soft cup bras. They seem to pull your breasts up but not give you a cakes on a plate shaping. In some respects I can appreciate that. Great for FOB breasts and I do believe in you're full all over you should be fine as well given the stretch in the lace and the fullness of the cup. Oh, and new camera with clearer shots so the colors are showing more true to life! Read more 88 more words
