Such a pretty bra! I have narrow roots, very projected breasts, 32GGish. Short root, possibly encroaching on omega boob territory. I have a hard time finding things that are narrow enough and especially projected enough.

Sadly, that's the case with this Czarna. I have some empty space on the sides of the wires (although less than my Cleo bras), and there is definite space and big wrinkles on the underside of my breasts, where my projection is pushing the wire down from my inframammary fold. The gore floats about a half-one inch. The bad seems pretty stretchy to me as well.

These fit issues make the bra a bit uncomfortable ... for all-day wear, honestly. I think the wings come up a little high, so sometimes I get poked and my armpit chub (tail of spence?) gets caught by the end of the bra straps by the wings. Perhaps the slightly scratchy fabric will soften with a wash..

I think this would be a great bra for someone with narrower roots and a lot of projection, but not as much as I have.

Part of my first Comexim experience, pre-owned. Band and cup volume seem about right, but I'm not sure I play well with their padded plunge-y shape (which seems to be their main offering). I'll have to do more research and maybe try either an unlined or demi from them next. The craftsmanship, however, is excellent and the materials quite soft. Plus the design is super cool!

Pretty! Deep purple with a light magenta underlay that peeks through a bit. Interesting narrow strap design with a padded felt backing for comfort.

Very narrow and projected bra. Although the tag says 32DDD (stupid US sizing, which bratabase didn't want to accept), I think this would fit a F or maybe even an FF. Band is soft and a bit on the stretchy side.

While the wire width is great for me, as a GG I just can't make the cup size work unfortunately.

Such a lovely bra! Embroidered straps, pretty floral design across the top of the cups. The half cup design, which barely covers past my nipples, adds an air of sexiness to a simple padded nude bra. The fabric is amazingly soft and smooth, probably the most comfortable bra I've ever tried on.

This was my first foray into Polish bras (narrow, projected, even fullness, soft) and it wasn't quite a hit. Luckily I got the bra used, so the band wasn't as tight as EM is rumored to be. I don't think that the shape is compatible for me. I quadboob out of both cups, particularly on my bigger side. I'm sure the quadboob would be laughable if I used the pads, but I can see them being useful for my asymmetry if the cups fit properly. And I'm not convinced that the wires are radically narrow. I'm considering listing this so I can finance another Polish bra once I do more research on what might work for me.

On the Debenhams website, these are "Gorgeous DD+ - 2 Pack Taupe And White Underwired Non-Padded DD+ T-Shirt Bras." I think these would be great every day bras. The taupe could be a neutral "nude" if you need a slightly darker rosy tan color. There are no seams on the outside of the cup (there is an inner mesh "sling" that has the shaping seam) so good for clingy tops.

Unfortunately these just don't work for me and I suspect they may run a cup smaller than listed. The upper part of the cup cuts into me for some quadding, gore doesn't tack, and the band feels painfully ... tight. I have a few other Debenhams bras (purchased in stores, 2017) that seem to fit truer to size and were much more comfortable to wear right off the bat. Those reminded more of Cleo dupes. Considering I waited several months for these to be delivered to the US, I'm pretty disappointed. I may try to get the taupe to work just so I can have a beige bra for tight tops, but the white will be passed along.

Classic molded tshirt bra. The band is stretchy and the fabric is smooth, so I think this would be comfortable to wear. I suspect there may be some spillage in the middle and gaps at the top near the straps because of the plunge styling. Light beige ""natural"" color.

Purchased for my sister and she has yet to try this on. She is interested in finding more comfortable bras, but refuses to be measured/measure herself or basically help in the process at all, which makes it a guessing game for me.

I have yet to find an EM that works for me. Although I think once I can figure out a good size that will help, this one I know was just too small.

The band runs pretty snug although it's labelled as a 70. Runs closer to a 30/28 to me. I think I need a larger cup as well, I get some quadboob and a squared-off look in front. Projected and narrow of course. Pretty floral design.

This is from my shopping trip to Poland! Feel free to send me a message if you want any more info on that. For reference, I believe that I had short, narrow roots with a very projected, omega shape. My best Cleo fit is the Meg then Marcie/Melissa.

I was super excited to see this in the pile the fitter handed to me!! I love the strap aesthetic but didn't want to order the EM version.

The band and part of the cups are made from a smooth satiny material, then black mesh, and the strappy part is black elastic anchored with a black curly embroidered patch connected to ... the top of the gore. There are some black rhinestones that aren't attached too securely. I've already lost a few but I'm not worried enough to glue them back on myself.

The strap decoration are a little loose on my short roots, so I think this would work ok if your roots were taller or if you had more upper fullness. I'm considering taking them in just a teensy bit with a stitch on the straps just to make them lay better. The regular straps are pretty stretchy and I had to adjust them shorter than I usually do. The band is also softer than I would like, but doable. If I reorder this, I think I might also try a 70 just in case.

The wires are a smidge wide on the side but not terrible. Wing height not bad. Shape is round and centered. Since the strap decoration comes up farther than usual, this style might not be good for people whose breasts are very close together

Unfortunately, I am not impressed with Nipplex. I tried on several models and I'm really surprised this one fit well enough for me to purchase it. The other models I tried were EXTREMELY pointy, like good for someone who likes vintage 40s/50s/60s lingerie pointy. And the wings are cut very very tall, even the band is tall around the back. This ... one is a bit over my limit, but tolerable with a shirt on. Strangely, despite the high wings and long wires, the gore is quite short. If it were any higher, it definitely would lay on my breast tissue, as my boobs are encouraged to fall inward on this one. I can't see this brand becoming popular (at least popular outside of Poland?) unless they adjust the pointy level and wing height

However high they are, the wires seem to be of a good width on the sides, and the 75 band is not too loose to wear nicely. There is the elastic underneath the mesh top that is verging on too tight for me, so not a good choice for someone with tall roots and/or upper fullness. Under shirts, the change from the semi-soft bottom to the mesh top is very noticeable, and my boobs look a bit like a ski-slope-jump shape. However, the link pinkish-beige makes a decent nude and that's ultimately why I decided to purchase it. I just can't see myself reaching for this very often, though.

Got this for my sister in hopes of getting her into a better fitting bra. Will update if I can get her to try this on. This definitely a plunge, the gore is basically nonexistent and the wires don't even come close to overlapping in the front. I think this would be good for someone with firmer, shallower, self-supporting breasts so they don't slide out the middle. Pretty black mesh over a soft satiny pink-beige material. While technically unpadded, there's also an "acti-curve technology" which feels like a thick piece of cardboard at the wire, not sure what the point of it is but we'll see if it is comfortable.
