Beautiful solid white CHP, a perfect bridal bra for cakes on a plate decollete or even a perfect bra to dye and paint! Or if you wear white. Narrow wires, tight band, deep cups that push up and hold. Nice front & center uplift, nice round silhouette, terrific construction, all the Ewa M expectations are met is this orchid-white half cup!

Review for the beige colorway. Me: even/even, functionally FOB due to soft tissue and sag, narrow and close set, immediate projection like a shelf. More side than center fullness. This bra works so well! Adell is sized like Nicol i.e. I am 32FF and it fits great although Impimi calls this a 32F on their website and the paper tag while the sewn-in label calls it UK/US 32G - so confusing!! Perfect narrow wires in a U shape with 1/2" play in the channel. The wires are flexible, not hard. Gore is relatively tall and narrow; tacks and separates nicely while still providing visible cleavage in a v-neck ... top. The bottom of this half-padded bra has the same 3-part, angled-seam cup construction as Nicol, providing lots of depth at the wire and bringing the tissue in and up. Which is a good thing because the top panel is non-stretchy net lace (which looks as thought it would be scratchy but isn't at all). This panel is fairly loose although angled in and has elastic along the very top so I think it would be OK for FOT but probably wouldn't be very good for shallow or truly FOB people. If I do not swoop & scoop, I do not fill the top, but once I do it all stays there all day supported by the bottom part. The top lace is very elegant, with embroidery subtly down to the padded part and little twinkling silver dots among the warm golden-beige embossing. It is flat and does not show under a knit top. The gore and center panel is the same elegant embroidery, with a sweet little ruffle at the bottom; lace continues up the strap 1"+. Great color matching! The band is TTS, maybe a little tight as brand new. Side boning in the wings is also slightly angled (I think all this angling is what works so well for my side fullness). Straps are easy to adjust and fairly stretchy; they are also wide set but less so than Ewa M. Overall construction is not super-luxe but is on par with top line Polish, and everything is padded/soft/comfortable. I suggest be careful about sizing, since Impimi seems to be still trying to figure that out! Best bet is to email them with measurements and ask a recommendation, their customer service is awesome. I have consistently gotten immediate and helpful responses in English, and it is nice to support a small new business!

Got this from the wonderful Jaimie at Bra Obsessed from the clearance bin. I wanted to try a Comexim balcony, since their plunges are an utter fail for me (not deep enough at the wire among other issues) and the 3-part HC's are too wide if the cup & band size is big enough. Sadly, because I really, really love Comexim as a company, this is also a fail. The top panel seems to be smaller/shorter than the dimensions of the lower part of the cup would indicate and angles in quite sharply. I'll bet this would be great for someone more FOB! The bottom is made of ... a slightly stretchy glowy knit in a mesmerizing color that defies description (I'm calling it fawny-mauvey-cocoa because it changes from brown to purple and back, depending on what you put it next to; it is a true neutral). The straps are not too wide set, firm, and the band is nice and supportive. It is deep enough for my immediate projection, and provides the natural-moderate lift I expect in a soft bra (its not saggy but not Cleo either). The wires and gore are narrow, and they are somewhat flexible so I could wear this baby all an active day with comfort. All good so far! However the top panel is NOT stretchy at all. It is densely embroidered and the fabric is on the OPPOSITE bias of the bottom panels. It is not lined, so the embroidery (which is beautiful flowers and shooting stars) is scratchy; I can see it bothering someone with more sensitive skin. Plus it seems to be attached almost oddly perpendicular to the bottom panels, and is very tight to the gore. So it cuts in something awful from the top & center, my girls look for some place else to go and get pushed down/sideways/squished and I end up with a bad shape and discomfort. Very sad :/ because I love the color and other than the weirdness of that top piece, it would be perfect!

Paper tag says 34F UK; sewn in label only says 75G. I bought this bra from Other Eden for science, to identify my Ava size. This is not it, too big everywhere, so I cannot review fit very well. Since other 34F's (as well as EM 75F; Comexim 75HH) do OK on me, I would say that Ava has generous sizing . This is a half-padded or semi-soft bra. I like the idea of that for modesty + summer comfort, and have a few others (Gorteks, Gaia, Nipplex) that are OK fit, so I wanted to try Ava since the price is right! Overall construction, materials and ... aesthetics are very nice and good value. This bra, like the 1410 unpadded version, is on the pale apricot side of beige, with orange flowered lace. Band and straps have a lot of stretch. Side boning under the arms controls side flab, I guess. The lace and the dangle are sweet and feminine. The padded lower part is in 2 pieces, with the seam toward the inner part not in the middle. The padding itself is lightweight and fairly thin, there is not a ton of shaping support (as in an EM S or BM style) but it does feel as though my breasts are well enclosed. It is lined with comfortable cotton. The top lace panel is not stretchy, although there is an elastic sewn in along the top. Seems like there is a good amount of give there, it does not cut in but lays flat. The lace panel dives at a sharp angle to the gore. The wires are very narrow and the gore is not very wide at top or bottom. There appears to be a good amount of room for center fullness at the gore, it is also quite deep both at the wire and the apex. Since it is way too big on me (the diff between a 70H & 75G is striking, see measurements for Ava 1159), I can't tell precisely, but it seems that this model would work well for even or FOT because there is a lot of room here. The cup is pretty tall, as are the wings and the gore. Shape on me is separated, centered and high, but a little upside-down 7. I think this is due to the semi-padded cut, since I am functionally FOB I probably should give this quest up!

Gaia is another of the well-known Polish brands I have been trying out via internet buying. Mary was almost but not quite a success! I love the dusty-lavender base color, the lavender-gray stretch lace, the sweet purple flowers on the soft cotton knit. Lined with the same comfy cotton knit, too. Nice design on the completely adjustable straps, firm band with great support, medium width wires that don't poke, terrific half-padded plunge? balcony? for t-shirts and summer clothes. I'm just not quite enough FOT to fill out the upper lace part.

Really nice neutral molded tee-shirt bra that conquers boring with its classic lace side detail and lace strap attachments. This bra completely disappears under even tight knits, and is super comfy all day. The padding is relatively thin and flexible, so it adapts to shape and soft tissue. The cups come up pretty tall, but also gently mold in so there isn't a gap at the strap. The center is lower than balcony style tee shirt bras like the Fantasie 4510 but more coverage than a Freya Deco, so maybe a modified plunge? It does give cleavage and kind of even out the breast across the torso for a slightly minimized, typical look. Wires are average width and come up well on the sides; band is not overly firm but wide for support, and true to all molded bras I've tried there isn't a heck of a lot of depth, but that's not the point of them anyway. Decent construction and very soft & comfy! Love the lace along the sides!
