Rosme is a Latvian lingerie brand which is available up to a European H, for band sizes 70 – 105. Given the limits of the range, I wasn’t sure I would be able to wear it, but I decided to try the 80H, which I thought just might fit me as I often wear a 36G.

It took me some time to find the styles I was interested in, because most of them are available in a smaller number of sizes. It doesn’t appear to be possible to order directly from the Rosme website, and when I turned to the internet I couldn’t find anything ... I had chosen. In the end I ordered two versions of the Sonora line from an eBay seller: the padded plunge and an unpadded halfcup. This one is the unpadded halfcup.

I suppose it would be good news for some to learn that the brand seems to run true to size, but of course that means that I'm sized out. The 80H fits like a Panache 36 in the band. The cup felt like a FF on the padded version, but on the unpadded one it fit me more like an F. I had quite a bit of quadboob and the gore isn't even close to flat.

The cups seem to be quite shallow and gave me a flattened look. I could see this working for their target size range, where the shallow shape is more likely.

The bras looked nice on the website, but once I had it, it looked cheap, like any standard department store brand. The print is somewhat interesting but the fabric seems thin and the straps didn't appear very sturdy and seemed to be made of the same fabric as the cup. This is not so surprising, given that the bra cost about $15 USD, but it is disappointing as I am used to the generally high quality of Polish brands.

(Purchased NWT, I think. Barely worn as it never really fit.)

Three-part cup balconette style with a 2-part center with side section that morphs into the strap.

Odd fabric with white background, red and brown flowers, brown/red "jeweled ribbon" print. Very stretchy. Kind of sheer. Cups are partially lined with a cottony fabric in the bottom and side parts.

Center bow at gore in a brown/white stripe. Very sparkly loop/fuzz detail on armhole sides of cups/straps and along entire bottom of band.

Straps only partially adjustable. Strap width at top of cup is ~1.5" and ~0.9" at shoulder.

Wires squidgy to me. Powernet on band. 2-hook closure.

Quickie initial impression: ... Cute. Odd color combo. Stretchy cups, so I will keep for a bit. It is a little too big on me, though. Cups are not that tall, so it works for now.

Update: Uh, I barely wore this bra. It's very soft and comfy, but never really fit.

You can see in most of the pics that it makes my boobs look sad and droopy. The main front pic (the blurry one) shows what it looks like if I hike it up, scoop and swoop, and pull the straps tighter. But it still doesn't really fit.

I don't know what to say about the measurements I made as they were done when I first got the bra. I think the cup depth is impossible to accurately measure as the fabric is very stretchy.
