I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.
Bellamisto
Bellamisto is a full cup underwire bra. It is not padded. The color is an off white and the cups have a slight textured pattern to them with lace on top.
I have 2 of these bras, both in 30J (UK). I have combined the entry and review for both in one for simplicity purposes.

The band measures 24” to 34” on one and 24.65” to 38” on the second. Both have 2 hooks and 3 rows of eyes.
The tags on both are different, though the style ... name and number are the same, which indicates a change in production at some point, and explain the differences in measurements.

The straps connect in the back too far in, making them irritating on the shoulder blades.

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” on 1st & 13.75” on 2nd.

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16” on both

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.

The cups fully encase the breasts. The center gore wire ends about an inch shorter than the material; This tends to be uncomfortable with all day wear. The inside of the cups have an extra half section on the outer area of the cups for support. The wires also wrap too far back and the wire under the arm digs as well. Again, not comfortable for all day wear.

Other than the label, these bras look identical, though the measurements show they have some variation.
When first on, this bra seems like a dream of perfect support, but the comfort level is lacking for sure.

When these fit, the cups fit perfectly, but the band felt too big. Add that to the comfort issues listed above and this bra is far from ideal. I wore them both many times, and the result is always the same, painful by the end of the day due to the wires and the straps irritating my shoulder blades.
