Hasn't set fit

Litsa in 65J / Litsa in 65K
I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.

Litsa is a full padded bra of beige with black lace over the whole bra. It is a half cup style, and the padding is light foam lining, more for support than volume. The straps are adjustable multiway, allowing for a variety of options from regular, to halter, to backless, crisscross, single strap etc. It is similar in shape and style to Gaia’s Gina bra. I tried this bra in both 65J and 65K, but returned the 65K before taking pictures, so I’ve combined the review for both in one for simplicity.

The band measured 23” to a max of 29.5” with 2 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops on the 65J, and 23.5 to 29.5” with 3 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops on the 65K.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 10” (65J) & 11” (65K)

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 12” (65J) & 13.5” (65K)

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The cup height was 6.75” on the 65J and 7” on the 65K. For me, this was neither deep enough nor tall enough to accommodate my breasts, resulting in both quad boob and escaped nipples that sat above the cups instead of within. If they made it in a 65M/N, I think it would have worked.

Great for enticing your partner, not workable under any shirt, even a sweatshirt otherwise. I really wanted this one to work, as I love the demi style half cups as well as the multi functional straps. Alas, another that didn’t work for me.

And yes, I do realize I was in denial of what size I really needed, but I had difficulty accepting my new growth, and the idea of any “cup” labeled above a K seemed really too big in my brain. The concept of EU vs UK sizing method was new to me, so I did not understand why the J-K cup didn’t work, figuring it must just be a shape/style mismatch…….a year later, I feel like such an idiot as I revamp my original reviews and notes, especially with these Gaia bras. I really loved the patterns and styles, and so wanted them to work for me!

This bra is not owned any more
