Didn't fit

My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots.
Special thanks to MamaPagan for sending me this bra (and many others!) to try on!
Appearance and Fit: Same fabric as the Gaia Ginger Full Cup (see review here: https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dium5/)
So this is an interesting fit for me. It's lovely everywhere except, you guessed it! the tops of the cups, which gape everywhere except the center. I think I'm going to keep this bra, in spite of that; I can't seem to fill out tops of cups that don't have stretch lace. So far, the semi-soft Gaia bras fit me the best, but I like that this bra is all the way padded. It would be a great bra to wear in the cold of winter.
I can definitely tell the difference between the regular full cup and the maxi full cup style. The gore is a lot higher on the maxi full-cup, and the straps are made of wider elastic. I have a little issue with fabric creeping into my armpits, which leads me to believe the straps are a touch wider set. Strangely enough, it doesn't bother me as much on the maxi full cup as it does on the regular full cup.
I think my perfect Gaia bra would be a Frankenstein mishmash of the 65J semi-padded cups and thinner straps with 70K band and its 3 hooks. I wonder if they could make something like that for me? (The only bra place I've ever heard of doing anything remotely similar to that is Comexim.)
Edit: Ok, so the gore HURTS. It's too tall and digs into my sternum. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is not owned any more

  • How does the top of the cup look under a shirt? I have the same issue with half cups, but if you can't see the line then it's good to go. :)

  • Love these polka dots and the wider straps. So cute!!

    I also wish Gaia would make a custom bra for me, but I don't believe they do that. Their designs are beautiful, their fabrics comfortable and their price unbeatable. However in my size (65J) I find their construction gives too little support. I would want them to give me a 65 band, but with 3/4 hooks, wider straps, but NOT a higher gore. Maybe I`ll just write to them if they would do that, asking doesn't hurt.

    BLee That's EXACTLY what I would want, too! If you do email them to ask. please let me know what they say!
