likesThe Melissa is shallower at the apex, and more open at the top of the cups. It fits me very well, because I'm "tall full-on-top"* with a shallow apex.
*By this I mean that my breast root is very tall, and my breast tissue is spread out all the way up to my collarbone. I've also heard this called "full-on-top-top" or "infinity-on-top."
The Bella, on the other hand, is deeper at the apex and more closed at the top of the cups. There is a seam at the top of the cups with no stretch. It doesn't fit me at all, the top cuts in and there is wrinkling at the apex. It would better suit someone with a more projected apex, and a shorter root/base.
