Me: Very short-waisted with, subsequently, short breasts, center full, close set, immediately projected, shallow/wide underarm breast tissue

There is a lot to adore about Rosme Galla. For a sub-$25 bra, the features are outstanding!

1. If you have center-full, close-set breasts, this wireless bra may be a great option. The gore seam is just .4" wide which allows breast tissue to sit closer together. Many bras prefer my breasts sit opposite their natural position, but Galla provides space in the center.

2. Padded straps are so comfortable. This does limit the extendable length. Tall and low set users may not like the padded straps as well as I. But, the ... length should accommodate the rest of us.

3. 40% Cotton and a cotton lined lower cup. This fabric is SO soft.

4. Padded, cotton-lined side sling. This is a bit of protection from elbows and corners. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

5. Soft boning on each wing.

Despite these endearing characteristics, the cup creases near the band and causes the top of the band to dig-in under my breast. Immediately, I returned to my Kindred Bravely Organic Cotton Nursing Bra. The Kindred Bravely has a pocket to which I added a bra pad. This pad increased the stability of the cup and prevented the dig-in sensation. Galla does not have a pocket, but I theorize strengthening the cup with a bra pad may reduce the Galla's dig-in sensation, too. If your breasts are less immediately projected, you are unlikely to experience the digging-in sensation my very immediately projected breasts experienced in Galla.

For the features and rapid, fully-traceable shipping from Latvia, this bra deserves some love!

The details:
Lace cups with flat seams. Neither showed under clothes. Cotton lined. Small scalloped lace edge. Great lift. Good side support. Nice front & center projection. Fairly open cups.
Tall, narrow gore. Marginally overlapped wires at the top and 2.25" wide at the base.
Very stretchy band. Stretched to 37" before the wires began to distort. Single layer mesh wings. Flat plastic boning (vs. round, which is bulkier) under the arms. Full band around the cradle.
Padded straps in the front are one continuous piece into the cups. (No seam between cups and straps.) Back straps are partially adjustable and .6" wide.

The fit:
It would fit great if not for two issues: ... 1: The band is much too big on me, even on the tightest set of hooks. I normally wear a 32" band, but thought I'd try the 34" because it had the cup size I needed. (The 32G was not available at the time.) 2: the straps are too wide-set, well into my arms. This caused the cups to buckle a tiny bit right where the cups blend into the straps.

The band on this Kamila felt much truer to size than it's cousin Eliza, whose band was very stretchy. Similarly, it also had a single mesh band (instead of double layer) and no plastic boning under the arms.
The two-part cups are also cotton lined, but wider, shallower and more closed than the Eliza. (I quadded in the center because of the very tall gore, whereas with the Eliza I did not quad at all, despite the gore heights being nearly identical.) With the wires also wider than Eliza the straps felt even further apart. (And the problem of the cups buckling at the straps was even worse.)
Otherwise, the two had very similar design features (such as the cups and front straps being seamless/one piece), yet were two very different fits; this one being wide and shallow and the Eliza slightly narrower, more open and deeper.

The quality of the bra isn't great, but it holds up well and doesn't stretch out too much. This is a very shallow bra, so girls with projection, look elsewhere! Also, the vertical seams give the bra a kinda cone like shape, which of course is a matter of taste, but I personally don't mind the look. The vertical seams can sometimes be seen under shirts as well, just so you know!
