    70I

    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: This bra is pretty cute! It's a 3-part cup in a soft, cottony fabric. The color is a darker beigey/brown with little white polka dots, and white lace along the top edge. The straps are removeable, so it could technically be a strapless bra. (Though I personally wouldn't feel supported enough without the straps.)
    I'm not a big fan of these types of cups; I don't feel covered up enough, and like I could pop out the top at any moment. The gore doesn't tack, and my larger breast has some quadding, but I think a larger cup in this style would just be wider than I like. The straps seem wider set on this style, as well.

    This bra is not owned any more

    65K

    Hasn't set fit

    Gina 555 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.

    Gina is a padded demi bra with removable multiple straps. The padding is a light foam lining. The pattern is tan with micro white dots and white accents, same as Gaia’s Ginger. The cups are in 3 vertical sections.


    Gina was one of my first Gaia bras. I loved the demi cups, pattern and multiway straps.

    The band of the 65K measured 23” with a max stretch of 30”, and has 3 set of hooks with 3 rows of eyes. The straps ... are wide set, but can do cross backed to alleviate this some.

    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: 11.5”

    2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
    This measurement is: 12.5”

    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 cups had a height of 7.4”.

    I also tried Gina in 70I and 70J, plus Ginger 70J and Ginger Maxi in 70K which is similar except for the cups are in 2 vertical sections on bottom and 1 horizontal one on top.

    70I

    Hasn't set fit

    Gina 555 in 70I
    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.

    Gina is a padded demi bra with removable multiple straps. The padding is a light foam lining. The pattern is tan with micro white dots and white accents, same as Gaia’s Ginger. The cups are in 3 vertical sections.


    The 70I was the first size I tried in Gina, because based on a looser underbust measurement, their chart recommended the 70 band, and the “I” cup was the largest available at the time. I should have done a firmer measurement, but I ... wasn’t familiar with Polish bras or sizing yet, and didn’t want it to be too tight, and really wanted to have this bra.

    The band of the 70I measures 23” with a max stretch of 31”, and has 2 set of hooks with 3 rows of eyes. The straps are wide set, but can be cross backed to alleviate this some.

    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: 10.75”

    2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
    This measurement is: 13”

    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 cups had a height of 6.5”.
    I also tried Gina in 65K and 70J, and Ginger in 70J and Ginger Maxi in 70K which is similar except for the cups is in 2 vertical sections on bottom and 1 horizontal one on top.

    70J

    Hasn't set fit

    Gina 70J
    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.

    Gina is a padded underwire demi bra. The padding is light foam, without additional or removable pushup pads. The straps are removable/multi-way, and there are 3 vertical sections to the cup. The pattern is tan with micro white dots and white accents, same as Gaia’s Ginger.

    The band measures 22.75” to a max of 33” with 3 hooks and 3 rows of eyes.

    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: 11.5”

    2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
    This measurement is: 13”

    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 7.25” and the straps are wide set like most brands, but you can do them as cross backed to alleviate this some.

    I also tried Gina in 65K, 70I, reviewed separately. In addition, I tried Ginger in 70J, and Ginger Maxi in 70K which is similar except for the cups have 2 vertical sections on bottom and 1 horizontal one on top. Please see all 5 reviews for comparison of size, fit, and details.
