BM Sofia is a gorgeous purple over black non padded underwire bra in Ewa’s BM style. The cups are done in the standard format of 2 lower sections connected by one vertical seam, one upper stretch lace horizontal section, and a 4th triangle/wedge section that connects the straps to the cup. The BM style is a fuller coverage bra that separates the breasts beautifully.

Unique features of this bra is the sheer peek-a-boo gore and wing section.

The band measures 22.625” and stretches to a max 28.9”. It has the typical 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

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: 12.25”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 15”

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 gore is wider at 0.7” while the normal is 0.5-0.6” for this size. I didn’t notice this as being an issue when I tried it on for photos, but felt it was worth mentioning as it is a bit wide for this size.

As for fit, it’s a bit disappointing. The cups are a very full fit, with the top lace straining, doing a slight flattening and cutting in. While it is still wearable, at least at low tide and in winter under sweatshirts, it is not as comfortable as the BMs usually are in this size and that’s only with 5 minutes in so I’m not sure this one is going to work for me. The gore is just over a finger off the sternum which isn’t bad for me. The hook set is comfortable on the tightest hooks which is also typical.

The mesh that lines the stretch lace on the top of the cups is *a lot* firmer than my other BMs, so it doesn’t have as much give as I’m used to, making it less accommodating than most of the BM models. If it wasn’t for that mesh being so firm, I think this one would be a good fit.

  Second "all day" wear today, and should be nearing high tide. The top lace tension now feels normal-like the average BM, so between my 10/29 all day wear and storing the cups filled with balled up shirts (don't laugh) it seems to have worked!! Yay for a comfy wearable bra!

  I have been stretching this one out on my boobs. Can't do anything about how tight it is at the strap, but I think it has softened up on the rest of the top. Boobs 1 bra 0 ;)

  Yeah, if the issue is right at that reinforced area, it may not soften too much. Bummer. :-/

  Sadly, I tried this one again today and it is a no go. I don't know if the tension returned due to not storing it in a stretched way like I did prior to wearing last time, or it's just that my breasts are now larger since no bra is fitting right now. It's too constrictive with quadding, uncomfortable and so it's being put away for a potential smaller breast day.... :-/ Sniffle sniffle since it's sold out and I can't get it in a larger cup....

  Shame, sorry :(
  Sofia really sold out fast :/

  It did! I wish she would secure more materials for her new releases....

  Yes! People obviously are tired of beige... please no more beige...

  Since the colorful bras sell so well, I don't understand why she limits production like this.
  Lingerie should be more than just black white beige or red. Give us more of the rainbow!

  Yes, and an actual rainbow... like a unicorn farted on it. Not pop of colour + black.

  Unicorn farts, haha! That would be a great bra name! Though pixie dust would be more socially appealing I'm sure. ;-)
