Used to fit

If there wasn’t the Szamargd, I would probably never try the BM cut.
I didn’t know what to expect in terms of fit as there are very few reviews in my size range, I was afraid the cups would be too big. I was also afraid about the cup shape after reading Jlcl119’s review.
First of all, this bra is gorgeous, mainly because of the deep colour but also thanks to the beautiful lace. The red/burgundy bows make a nice contrast with the bra and it makes me think of Christmas tree https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
When it comes to the fit, I’m not sure what to think about it. I was unable to show on the photos what is wrong. Overall the fit is rather good but there are some minor issues.
This bra is hard to put on – it’s hard to place the wires in the IMF and to place correctly the lining under the lace of the upper cup part. They say on their website that the cup edge is stretchy in this style and you may need to size down. Well, the cup edge is not stretchy at all. This causes a tiny quad boob that I can accept, even though it shows a little under the clothes. This quad boob goes along with a tiny, diagonal, "freya like" wrinkling.
The shape it gives is rather triangular than rounded. The support is great and the bra is extremely comfortable. The band isn’t very tight, I could probably wear it on the second hook but the first is OK.
Since I switched to the bigger sizes (to me it’s a big 65e), I face the problem that so many of you are already familiar with – the straps placement. I’m OK with the straps wide set in the front, they don’t bother me. What is annoying, it’s the straps wide set in the back. I feel like they’re going to fall off my shoulder at any time. When you look at the back photo, you can see how wide they are set… Ewa used to say that this problem is due to the too tight band and/or too big cup, but this is not the case in my bra. I have the same issue with Mgielka.
Despite of these issues, I’m overall happy that I tried this style and am now looking forward to try some new models.

EDIT I tried to stretch the lace when not wearing the bra and it does stretch, but I doesn't seem enough for me when I put it on.

  • hmmm. not at all in your size range, but that looks more like my SM than my BMs. But the cuts are very different in my size range.

  • lovely color tho

  • I actually wondered if it runs small and if it really does then it means I made a good choice lol
    I tried to compare the fit of Pralinka with other bras of the same users but hasn't come to any conclusion.

    I mean Szmaragd of course!

  • oh dear, I'm sorry for the confusion, I first thought it was about Pralinka then about the Szmargd.... That being said, I thing I saw a review of Szamargd saying it was small. But it wasn't my size range.
    This model doesn't really fits like the only SM I own - Czarna Mgielka, but they're not the same size.

  • I still think my SM is faulty. Its square-shaped. and it has been since I first got it and while I grew up a cup size . . . still fits, still square-shaped. Keep wondering if I should try another or not . . .

  • Dbmamaz is the lace of your fiolecik rigid? Maybe that could explain the shape. I would definitely try another one.

  • yes, the lace is completely rigid. I wore it yesterday - it really fits better the bigger I get. Its a 70J which was a full size too short, so i wear an extender, but the bigger my boobs grow, the better it fits. When I first tried it on it looked way too but, but I could manage to scoop up above the shallows . . now I have to reverse-swoop in to the outer edges of the cup so i dont quad, but . . . it does fit. the reverse scooping helps the bra stay where it belongs because my mighty cleavage isnt breaching the wall near the center and drowning it
