Primula

I ordered this in the same size as my UK size(28GG). It is my first try with an unlined Comexim and it is a fail.
I have short roots, touching and center full breasts and I need a lot of immediate projection.
It is a full cup bra and I should have known that would be a problem for me. The cup is tall at 7 3/4 inches and I cannot fill the top.
The band is very stretchy . Fastening it in the loosest hook feels a little loose. I can fasten it comfortably in the innermost hook. If I was to ... order this again, I would go with a 55. The straps are also very stretchy.

This is a very light weight bra and I think it would be a dream to wear in the hot summer months.


I requested narrowed gore, overlapping wires and lowered gore by 1cm. Those alteration appear to have been done . The gore fit, while not perfect , is one of the better fits I've had. Gore tacks softly.

I do not have wrinkling in the side of the cup under the arms which I have in every bra I've ever tried , other than one Anna Pardal plunge.

Even though the depth is only 10.25 and I normally need 11" in a UK sized bra, somehow in these Polish bras, I don't seem to need as much depth.
Wires are 5 5/8 " so really not any narrower than my Cleo bras.


I will be listing this bra. I really think someone who normally wears a 30/65 would be fine in this bra because of how stretchy he band is.

Short roots, center full, functionally fully on bottom.
I ordered this bra because I wanted something really smooth to fit under more clingy tops. T shirt bras do not have enough projection for me. I need a ton.
It is a really nice quality bra , but it is full cup and I should have realized before I ordered it that they never work for
me because they are too tall and I don't fill the top. Seams are quite flat and I think they would disappear pretty well.

The immediate projection is very good. Accommodates my very center full breasts well.
I normally wear a 28GG in a Cleo but I've found that Charnos bras tend to run short and a 30 fits like a 28.

This bra is a transfer from Wendybien. I knew it would be too big in the band since I normally wear a 28GG.
I will have to take in the band .
Another beautiful bra with gorgeous details. It is a light blush color and works well for me as a nude.
The cups are deep!!! and narrow . They really accommodate my very center full breasts well. Gore tacks pretty well considering I have touching breasts.
This is a full coverage bra, cups are a little taller than I like at 8", however they aren't wrinkling on top.
There is a ... very tiny bit of wrinkling at the apex that I think could go away when I get the band shortened.
It is a little hard to judge because I'm holding the back of the band to try to judge the fit.

The lift is good and gives an understated look in a t shirt. Seams really don't show.
Wires are very comfortable. I think this brand is rapidly going to become my favorite brand. I just wish
they weren't sooo expensive!!

I think most people would go down one or two cups in this bra because the cups are so deep.

This review is for the white bra. It is supposed to be the same cut as Kali. However it fits me better than my Kali and I'm not sure why. My guess is that it has more immediate projection and accommodates my very center full boobs better.
Shape in a T shirt is also slightly different than the Kali. It has slightly less lift but still keeps my very dense boobs up well.

It measures almost identically to the Kali, except that the length of the band is several
inches longer.
The gore at 2.5 inches tacks pretty well, perfectly on my smaller boob side, but is very slightly on breast tissue on my larger side. I just don't have much room for a gore since my boobs touch in a bra.

What a beautiful bra. Sadly it is too small. There is not enough immediate projection or center fullness.
I don't know if sizing up a cup or two would help that.

I have touching breasts and you can see how on one picture that
the gore rests on breast tissue. Again, perhaps a larger cup size would help that.
Gores are a problem in all bras I've tried. I guess it is time to order narrowed gore or overlapping wires.
In this size
The band runs small for a 60 and I need 1.5 " extension. For reference, I'm able to wear a 28GG Cleo without
an extension.

My other try at this brand wasn't too bad although not perfect , so I thought I would try this since it was cheap.
This bra is nothing like the Charnos Betsy in 30G I've tried. It had a very firm band , firm wires and fit like a 28 Cleo in the band. That bra was sturdy. This is a more lightweight bra.

Band is very stretchy. I can fasten it in the first hook and it doesn't ride up. I also can fasten it in the last hook
and it isn't too tight. My comfortable under bust is 27.5", so I normally wear a 28 ... band. I can see that this might get too big after it is broken in. I believe it would be fine for people who normally wear a 30 band.
Straps are quite stretchy and my suspicion is that with a lot of wearing they may slip. The wires are quite narrow and cups are unusually deep (11.5") for this size. Center and immediate projection is very good.
The lace on the top of the cup is not stretchy and so it is loose on me much the way the Cleo Marcie is.
I think this bra would be good on someone more full on top than I am.
As usual the gore is an issue for me, too wide and too tall.I have touching breasts . Anything taller than 2.5 is always a problem . Wires are very comfortable, similar to Comexim wires.

short roots, functionally bottom full, very center full and I need a ton of immediate projection.
Cups on Empreinte run big, so order cup size smaller.
This brand makes the best fitting bras for me. Great immediate projection and good accomodation of my
center full breasts. The very narrow cups really work for me.
But, they are just too expensive to be practical unless I find a bargain.
I normally wear a 28GG in Cleo or a 30G. Empreinte starts in 30 and that works fine when new. Eventually
though I have to take in the band but I don't mind since they are so comfortable.
Great lift and shape in this bra. Probably not quite as round though as a Cleo.

I'm still searching for the perfect fit in a bra. This bra is too big around and too small in the cups. It probably doesn't have enough immediate projection. when I sit down, the bones ride down and then the back rides up. Fastening it on the tightest hook doesn't really help the problem . Gore kind of digs in.
I think if I could find the right size, it would hold my very dense breasts well., A fairly smooth look under clothing. Seams might show too much in a light colored t shirt, but in a dark one, they are passable. I've also tried this in a 30G, 30F and 32E and 28G (see pictures in mint color and review)

I am short ( 5-1/2) and am short waisted and this bra is not uncomfortable under the arms

short roots, very center full. functionally full on bottom. The bra doesn't come in my usual size of 28GG .
Good sale so I thought I would try it in the 30G. Band is okay. Seems pretty firm and like it won't stretch out too fast.
I fill the cups well and get very good lift. The two issues I have with it is that it comes up too high under my arms and
the top of the gore is too wide and cuts into the of my breasts, so that I have a muffin top over the gore.
Excellent on immediate projects and should be pretty good for most center full breasts. On me though , one wire sits
slightly on one breast. about 2/3s of my breast tissue is from the nipple to the center.

I really like this bra. It has an understated classic look.

I notice in the pictures that it looks like it fits better than it does IRL. The cups feel too small and won't contain underarm tissue which is very loose and kind of floppy.
I swoop and scoop and it won't stay in the cup under the arm.
Perhaps I need longer wires? Not sure.
The reduced gore and overlapping wires are definitely an improvement over a standard gore for me since I have touching breasts. But not sure if I could improve the situation with a narrowed gore too.
The lowered gore makes me feel kind of insecure with my center heavy breasts. Not sure
what the solution is. Perhaps in a larger cup I would feel more secure with this lower gore?
