This is my 3rd gia ; it doesn't mean that gia fits me well. Actually it does not. I'm FOT and the tall root shape, which is not good for wearing this beautiful bra. I don't like the pointy shape that gia gives me. I also didn't feel I got enough support from it. However, gia is too beutiful to give up. I managed to find out the way to wear this. The Alteration. I altered all my' gia's, a fob type balcony bra to a low cut bra (almost like a half cup bra, you can see if you see my pictures). I got some wrinkles ... because my sewing is not so good, but lifted and round shape as well just like i could get when I'm wearing Ritzy.
About the size, I wear cleo, Panache 34hh or J, sometimes 32jj would fit me. But in ck I need 34jj or k, sometimes 32k. Gia's cup is quite true to size (maybe slightly bigger than other ck bras), but the band is too tight, so that I need an extender to wear this.

I think I need a G or GG in order to really review this bra. It cut into my breast tissue, so the FF is way too small, but I also worry about whether or not the straps adjust short enough. I'm only 5'1" tall, so I need a bra that can adjust in order to fit a short person with a small torso. I love the color and the shape, though, so I'd like to try the Gia, or another style similar, in this bra first before I write this off.

This is one of my first non-molded bras, and I'm getting used to the feeling of it. I don't like that I can see my nipples through it, and that the seams are visible under my shirts, but that's par for the course for this type of bra. The cup on my smaller boob is perfect, but there's a bit of a cutting into the larger breast. I may need to size up to a G in this bra. It's comfortable, but the straps are a bit too wide apart for my more narrow shoulders.

When I first got this bra I loved it. It was one of my two first 28G bras and it fit well; I was so happy with it. But after only a couple of weeks it stopped fitting so well. I think I had another breast growth. I think it was minimal, less than a cup size, but now this feels too small in the cups. Which is weird--my 30FFs, which were at first nice and roomy, now fit exactly right, but my 28Gs (excluding the Freya) are a little too tight in the cups. I've now got a slight quadboob in this, and that combined with the ... fact that the gore is a little higher and wider than I prefer makes this bra not worth keeping. It's a shame, because I only ever wore it twice.
It's a very sturdy bra, which I like. It's got a silky smooth fabric that feels great against my skin and doesn't show through shirts. The geometric print is tasteful without being overbearing (because it's only on the lace and not the fabric). One thing I think is great is that the band is super firm, it really only stretches to 28 inches max. Really excellent bra, my boobs are just being weird, and now that I have some Comexims that fit better I'd kind of like to clear out some space in my bra drawer--but since it technically fits I don't know if I'd better keep ahold of it.

This is my second GIA. This is a gorgeous, quality bra. The color is nicely darker and purpler than on the picture. The shape and size is a typical CK bra, so that you may want to go up at least one cup size, the band is true to size though. I'm between 32/34 size, and I could fasten it on the tightest hook from the first wear. As a result, it doesn't work for me. I should have bought 32jj or k for the better fit.

So far this seems to be a good fit. I definitely had to size up one cup in Curvy Kate.

Tried both a 32FF and a 34FF because they were the sizes on sale, and I wasn't really sure about fit with Curvy Kate yet anyway so I thought it'd help give me a ballpark. The 34FF definitely fit better, but wrinkled a lot along the middle of the cup and had a slight quad-boob going on the top for me. I'm guessing it's simply too deep for me, because the cup width should be good.
It was the first bra I've tried on in a long while that I could visibly see the straps tended to pull closer together in back and didn't seem too inclined to slip off my shoulders, which was really nice. Without wearing it in, though, I can't tell for sure if it would have stayed on my shoulders or not. And I could tell if it did start to slip off, it would make the fit even worse, so I'm not going to try it at this time.This bra is not owned any more

Cups wrinkle on top, but seem fine on the bottom. Better for someone with full-on-top boobs.
