  1. I started with ordering this bra in 65E and the band was too loose, the gore was sitting on my breasts, the top of the cup was cutting in on my bigger side and the straps were too narrow and didn't give me enough support. I tried two another Gaias in SS10 cut before and both were slightly too big in 65F and too small or too closed on top in 65E. I kept the smaller ones since I didn't have any better bras back then but didn't wear them much and eventually sold them. In those bras gore lied flat so I was a bit surprised that ... in Maureen it floated and the bra was visibly too small. I've decided to exchange it for 65F, I was glad that this time it'll have wider straps and also wider, and thus probably more stable, band.
    When I first tried it on everything seemed fine. Later I've noticed that the center gore doesn't tack again. The gore is also too tall for my liking and with its typical 2 cm width it can be uncomfortable for someone very close set like me. Despite going up a cup size, there's a bit of quadding on my bigger side, not much and it's hardly visible unless I push the gore flat against my sternum. There's a distinct wrinkling on the smaller side but that's just my asymmetry. The underwires fit perfectly on the outer side but the cups aren't deep enough and there is not enough room at the gore for my center fullness. I don't see any difference between 65E and 65F except that the latter gives me more coverage and has a firmer band. I haven't tried sizing up to G cup as I'm afraid it would be too deep.
    Quality is very good and it's so beautiful, I prefer brighter colours but this shade of blue and the print are gorgeous. It could also be really comfortable if only I tolerated tall gores. I struggle with skin issues in the bust area and the gore rubs my breasts causing an irritation. Three attempts at finding perfect fit in SS10 and all failed. It's a shame since my two favourite Gaia's spring designs come only in this cut.

    • A beautiful color on you! Thanks for sharing your size "experiments." Disappointing this beauty and the two new beauties you identified don't fit. Sigh.

    • Thank You Love4Pollinators :) I must admit that I've kept this bra because of the hight waist brief but I can't wear it any longer than 2-3 hours which makes it a bra for special occasions.

    Fits

    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!
    I had never heard of Gaia brand bras until recently. and I think I'm in love! This bra fits me really well, and I had given up on padded bras entirely! Granted, this is considered semi-padded, since the top part of the cup is a black lace, but hey, it's more padded than any other bra I have tried that fits!
    Fit and appearance: As stated above, the bottom majority of the cups are padded, with the top a single layer of lace with a ... thin piece of elastic along the top edge to help it lay flat. The fabric is a soft, satiny texture, and the design is a shiny blue color with delicate black linework flower designs. The straps are black, stretchy and thin! which was a nice surprise, as lots of larger cup bras tend to have those fat straps. These ones are super comfortable, as well. I have a "thing" about straps; they are either too itchy, too wide-set, or not long enough for me. These are perfect.
    The cups are pretty much perfect on me. They are narrow and give a good rounded, projected shape. These are the three part construction, with a seam down the middle and a piece along the top. The back of the band is a black stretchy, soft fabric with a 2 hook clasp. I prefer three hooks, personally, but this fits so well that I don't even care. The band is ever so slightly tighter than I am used to, but compared to the sister size 70I Gaia bras I tried, this fits me the best.
    One little quirk with this particular bra is its squeakiness. It's not super loud, but I notice that it squeaks and creaks a little bit when I move.
    Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Gaia brand bras if you are looking at affordable Polish options. This bra is just awesome. I don't even want to take it off to measure it right now, hahah!

      So gorgeous on you! Thank you both :-) :-) Symbiotic relationships are awesome.

    • That looks like such a great fit! I'm glad you found something so comfortable you don't want to take it off. :)

      Gaia is my favorite go to right now. I wish they were more readily available in the US. Aren't they just underated?

    Hasn't set fit

    Maureen in 65J
    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.

    Maureen is a semi padded bra, with light foam lining on the bottom of the cups and sheer lace on top. The pattern is blue with black flowers, and black lace on top.

    The band measures 22” to a max of 31” with 2 hooks and 3 rows of eyes for adjustment.

    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”

    2 Placing the cup over ... the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
    This measurement is: 12.25”

    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 shape this one gave was far from appealing. For me, the cups were way too small (one of my first attempts at Gaia sizing) and it gave me torpedo boobs. The top lace has no stretch to it at all, so if you exceed the unstretched cup measurement, the only give is from the bottom of the cups and of course the typical resulting quad boob. Not appealing at all and I wouldn’t recommend if you have any upper fullness.

    Didn't fit

    The band is too loose, but better than Evangeline. I need to alter the band and center gore.
