I love this bra! The gore doesn't completely tack but I always seem to have trouble with longer gores not tacking and more than likely it's due to the small wires on this bra and my breast asymmetry. The band fits firm and although it only has 2 hooks, it is stable. I always thought it better to go up to 3 hooks on certain sizes but Samanta doesn't seem to think so. The narrow wires help to lift and push the breasts into the center which I prefer. The material on the cups is very soft too. The lace is a little stiff but it's not unbearable. ...Might think differently after wearing for a longer period of time than just trying it on. Now I just wish Samanta would ship to North America. I got this from a Zulily event to test for size and fit. Pleased on both although I think I'd do my sister size in a 95 band next time just because of how stiff the band is. I seem to be the first adding this bra to the database too...thought I'd see it here but maybe it's due to Samanta not shipping to North America. Read more 92 more words
This bra is soo beautiful! Shame Samanta doesn't ship to us here in the States.
Beautiful!!
Thanks gratiat I guess I should clarify - they technically will but getting a response is hit and miss when you email them and when I asked, it was by courier and would cost about $25 per bra to ship them to the USA. That I can't really justify. It's too bad - they have so many gorgeous bras!
Really beautiful!
roxannelovesbras Sounds like my experience trying to order directly from Ewa Bien. They too have so many pretty bras but it's a pain to order.
The lace on this bra and the silk fabric is exquisite! I have a bit of under cup wrinkling on my larger side and I need to do some swooping and scooping and pulling to get my breasts to settle into the cups properly. I am curious to see how it will wear all day and even though I tend not to soft cups this will be lightweight for summer. Not sure why Samanta does not put 3 hooks on for a 40 band and H cup which honestly I would prefer for stability and also some back fat smoothing. I get the annoying band roll on my ...smaller side. A beautiful bra nonetheless. If they would ship to North America I would be trying way more of their styles. Zulily events is where I find them for now.
EDITED TO ADD: after a few hours of wear I'm happy to report that my breasts have settled into the cups nicely and the underwires are doing a good job of holding me together. Great bra for those days when you don't want to put your chest front and center or feel too "boobalicious". Read more 85 more words
Oh, I am really interested to hear about the support in this size range! I've thought before that the materials on this bra looked promising in this regard. The A211 cut looks more wearable than the other cuts I've seen Kerk in.
Once I wear the bra for a day I will let you know wendybien :)
They have thin bands in my size too. I also wish their bands were a little wider. I'm a 65G in Samanta
Very pretty on you
Yes on the wider bands...what a game changer it would be on these bras! Especially in the larger cup sizes.
I agree revisa this bra is gorgeous! The color is so pretty. Also, this is one design that looks a thousand times better in a larger cup volume--the lace appears to its full advantage here, it is stunning in this size range whereas I think it is just OK-pretty on a smaller cup surface. (Quite the opposite of some UK brands that are cute up to a G cup!)
wendybien I'm happy to say after wearing this bra today (did it for bra science!) the bra is still comfy and it wore fine all day. The wires on this bra really do the work in this cup size and my band didn't move like I thought it would roll on my smaller side. I'm pleased. I would recommend this for larger cup sizes. My breasts settled into the cups and there was no wrinkling. The lace does a great job of wrapping around the breast tissue.
That is great to know roxannelovesbras . Thanks for the update! Folks IRL know I have a small (OK not small!!) bra obsession and often ask me for recs and it is HARD to find beautiful, but practical options in the smallest and largest band ranges so I am always greedy for new suggestions! This one looks so good-- now that I know it is also supportive and comfortable I am excited to talk a few friends into trying it now.
