There is a 20% off sale at Kinga today, so I figured this would be a good day to review a set from their current Spring/Summer 2019 collection.
Limpid is form 800. It's simply called a soft bra but it is actually more of a half cup/soft balconette.
It has 1 vertical seam and one horizontal "dart" on the gore side of the cup.
It is pretty open on the top and pushes the breasts up like cakes on a plate.
This intention to push the breasts up means that there is less depth/projection at the bottom of the cup/wire.
It is for this reason that I get ...a tack at the bottom of the gore but not at the top. It does not affect the comfort at all and the wire stays up in my IMF all day. No adjustments needed.
The wires are fairly narrow and follow my breast shape very well.
The cup material is a cool undertoned beige mesh that's embroidered with pretty pink and orange flowers. It is only semi-sheer. My nipples do not show through completely.
There is a sheer side sling inside the cup.
The band is made from colour-matched power mesh. It has pretty pink trim.
The straps have a very pretty attachment that I have not seen before. They are smooth and almost fully adjustable.
The band is comfortable and I would consider it TTS and consistent with my other Kinga bras in this size.
I chose strings in size S to make the set. They have a large panel of embroidery on the front with pink trim that matches the band of the bra and a folded mesh back. They are light, comfortable, invisible under pants and fit like a dream.
This is a lovely set and a nice form. I will certainly buy others in the future.
As always, I have MagdaBras4you to thank for shopping at Kinga for me. Read more 215 more words
This bra was a pleasant surprise, although it's not a perfect match. It's the first time I try a Kinga bra and I wasn't too sure about the size, so I ordered it mainly because of the style https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I love the pattern on the cup, and the satiny fabric and teal colour combination are lovely. They look just as great in real life! A bit about my shape - short roots, average to narrow roots, I need a lot of immediate projection and some space in the cup for inner fullness, but not a too narrow gore (especially at the bottom of ...the gore). On me, this bra does fit quite well, it gives a stable fit and a round shape, and quite a lot of lift. It's just that from a comfort perspective the wire and side boning tend to become uncomfortable under the arm when wearing it for a long day. The wing is just a bit too tall for me - but this is my usual fit issue with most bra brands, so for most people this will probably be fine. The cup design is this semi-soft/semi-padded pattern, with the two bottom parts of the cup padded but the top just stretch lace. The stretch lace is doubled with stretch mesh and closed off with a thin elastic. Despite the bottom part being just made from two parts, there's enough immediate projection and also overall cup projection. The wires are quite hard, which makes the gore give a firm tack. Some people will appreciate that, and it definitely helps with the stability, but for me it also means that I somehow feel the gore pressing on the sternum, although it's not particularly uncomfortable. The band is firm and runs true to size. Regarding the sizing, I went for the same size that I wear in Gorsenia bras, and in UK sizing my go-to size is a 36GG. The overall quality of the bra is really good, and it's definitely worth giving a try. Read more 233 more words
This one is gorgeous!!! I love Kinga designs, those wires are a deal breaker for me as well. Kinga is like the Polish version of Panache, wire wise. :-/
Too bad about the wires, the designs really are lovely..
This bra was entered for the measurements only for nadiya . She was asking about the measurements for Kinga bras in sizes similar to Panache 32K an 30JJ.
thank you very much. I was interested how Kinga Compares to other polish brands like Ava or Gaiya or . (I read Ava runs bigger, so, may be 75L or even 70L may work. Have you heard from your customers? I do own one Kinga semi-padded bra that almost work after i lost couple pounds: Happiness II in 70M. So, I would say there is no Gquadra boob with soft tuck, i if I press the center gore in, boobs are escaping at the center. I would compare the size to 30 (may be even 28), but talking about cup size to 30j - 30JJ Panache Jasmine. For someone with roots placed lower on the body it may be ok to compare to 30Jj, if your boobs are placed higher, there more tissue to hold, so if you are 30jj like me it may be i size to small, or good with soft tack. but for my shape, it just a tiny bit pointy, because the gore does not tack. but it is very comfortable and may be grate option for some one with fibromyalgia or other painful issues.
nadiya you are welcome. For you I would use 75M and look for bras with construction #209 which has the deepest cups. My customers love Kinga and I do too. Very comfortable, modern designs. I also get soft tuck due to inner fullness however I don't mind it at all. I get always round shape. My breasts are FOT, FOB and round all around. Kinga uses very good quality soft materials.
MY SHAPE: Projected, center full, close-set, tall and narrow roots.
THE TAKEAWAY: This "semi-soft" bra has slightly stretchy lace with an elastic band along the top rim (warning, FOT shapes) and a pretty high gore which handles my center fullness admirably. Band is quite comfortable. Color and lace are gorgeous. Cups might be too big!
DETAILS: Half of the cup is very lightly padded, just enough for modesty concerns, and the other half is lace. Gorgeous, very deep cups might have you sizing down from your equivalent UK size. (I would be a 32FF/30G (30:8/30:9) in Panache/Cleo, and this 65I (30:9) might be too big for me.)
The color ...is a deep, slightly bluish green, and the pattern on the cups is really interesting to me -- pinstriped, almost, with soft ribbon, combined with floral lace. Straps are sturdy, a bit wide but not uncomfortably so on me, and the two hooks are interesting; they're wider-set than any other hooks I've seen, and this means you get a slightly wider and more supportive band than you'd usually expect with only two hooks.
I would, however, describe the band as pretty stretchy. (It's a typical mesh.) It could go wider than the 30" I've put here if I hard-stretched it, and that's something to keep in mind if you're interested in ordering this particular bra. Read more 114 more words
Wow! This looks so much better than the stock photos! It's more blue than I thought it would be but I love the detail/pattern on the cups. I am so tempted to try it in the 65M.........
It's really beautiful and honestly these photos don't do it justice, either. It's too dark to see the additional subtle-and-small lacy pattern between the pinstripes on the cups. It's really unusual. :D
I'd say it's still noticeably green. The bow in the center is total teal, but the bra itself is greener than that. :)
MamaPagan I have added a couple of detail photos, plus flat photos of the non-fitting 70H.
rainbrasspetals Thank you! I will look at the extra photos :)
I LOVE this bra! The lift, the support, the shaping! And all in comfort! It's my fav purchase so far! The cups have a great amount of projection even at the wire, I get no wrinkles on the bottom when the straps are tightened correctly. The 3-piece construction is good, with the center seam actually lining up with my nips, and the material is not scratchy at all. I've so far also had no trouble with seams showing under a shirt. The side sling is very lightly padded and covered in a soft cotton, providing fantastic forward projection. The wires are firm but not so bad they won't conform ...to the body when worn. I did not have to bend them a bit to get a comfortable fit. The height of the cups is perfect, I'm not getting poked or spilling out, so this would be a great choice for petites. These wires feel like they've been made for me, they tuck into my IMF almost perfectly. The gore tacks and is both narrow and low enough sitting that my close-set boobs aren't being pinched by them. I have very narrow and sloped shoulders, making the fit of straps and the side of the cups tricky. I really like how Kinga does theirs, at least on the 2 I've tried, they don't rub me raw. The straps are soft, wide, but with firm stretch. They have swan hooks at the front so you can convert to racerback, yay! The band is firm on this model, more so than the Digital I previously reviewed. My only issue at all with this bra is that the band tries to roll up under the wires at the bottom of the cups. I have to sort of train it to fold the other way so it doesn't pinch. 1 day of wear seams to have helped, but be warned. Other than the band, I think it needs another wash or 2 to soften some of the elastics in various spots. Seriously, this has been my best fit yet. I would happily purchase a dozen more of this cut, Form 801. Read more 245 more words
Can I ask where you purchased your Kinga from? I can’t seem to find any retailers that deliver to the US.
I got this one and Digital from Lavinia Lingerie. Ships within a few days, arrives pretty quickly for me. They have a lot of sales, and I've gotten a new discount code with each package. I just put an order for a Michelle and a Sophie in with Bras4U.com, address is listed as being based in New York, with 30-day return policy. We'll see how quickly they arrive. Both places only carry a few of the many styles Kinga puts out, but I figure I'll get a feel for the more common forms from places I can easily return to if needed. Then I can order direct from Kinga when I want, they ship to the US.
KINGA SHIPS DIRECTLY TO THE US??? I’ve tried to place an order before but I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to ship to me. Also please let me know how your other kingas go. And I’ve found another place that ships to the US called MoreTights: https://moretights.com/ .
Ooo, nice! So many options! I haven't tried ordering directly from Kinga, but their site says they ship international and I've seen reddit posts saying they will ship US. They take PayPal, so I imagine they can always get the correct address that way. Will for sure update on the other bras. I'm sooo excited to finally be finding bras that fit and are comfortable!
Guestimating that this style should work well for softer-rooted immediate-to-center full, even to full-on-top shapes, maybe harder to size for those who have dense, resistant tissue, or are augmented. I've rather solid tissue, tend to need extremely full-on-bottom, open topped styles due to having very short, wide breasts that extend to tall, deep but not overtly rounded, roots. Those who are looking for narrow wires and deep projection, run, Digital seems to be suited to those whose breasts have wide attachment at chest wall & even rounded projection. I wish someone had clocked my fit needs when I got into looking for something ...suitable, and told me just get this one as it's 'close enough'
It should be classified at running a size large as this fits similarly in volume to everything else I've been told runs a size big, which is basically true to size or depending on shape somewhat small for me (I guess I am about 2 sizes up for depth needs in calculated sizing?). Like other polish brands known for being voluminous, there could be half size deeper projection at the wire out, instead of standard slightly angled pattern, which just fights with IMF - this very slightly conical vs omega rounded tendency in the pattern could push breast back to the chest, and the cup slip down over time.
First impressions in hand told me dear god no this will not fit, it's at least 17 miles tall. Abort mission. Size down. Scurry away. Save yourself. So much fabric.
But then I also remember my favorite bra is Katherine Hamilton's Simone in 32G, and looking at the less curved panels, am like "Yeah... Digital might not even be big enough". And as it turns out, depth could be a half size bigger & fit with no troubles. So this definitely isn't as completely projected as her pricey highness, but it comes damn close for trying.
While the wires in this size are a smidge large even for me (my needs run about 3-4 sizes larger than average), they feel well-proportioned to cup dimensions. Easily can be bent to fit narrower. When putting Digital on, it's wires twiddle and flip about in the gore like they don't want to sit right. On closer examination, inside the band at outer wire is a narrow strip of tulle sewn to the inside of wire, but isn't attached as a functional wing. What on earth for? I'll have to sew it proper and see if this doesn't help the flippy wires issue.
The hefty straps are nice but the hardware a little to heavy duty for it's build and prone to slipping out of the mulitway tabs, maybe these will shrink up and hold better with washings. Despite mt breasts being very high set, the wing isn't especially tall and not finding any side spillage. These stronk straps also are not cutting into my remarkably wide shoulders- this is unusual as there is a scant 2.5" high zone where my body goes straight from 'midget' to 'linebacker', and most armscyes fit like hot garbage ascending directly upward from the end of cups. Maybe Digital likes me back? This is where things get bizarre for me.
The cups. Given how even and symmetrical Digital's listing images are, nothing really prepared me for this. They are nearly 2 entire inches too tall! This spare length does not extend past the perimeter of my breast, it's just... unnecessarily vertical. The wide upper band isn't an issue as it's for once, actually deep enough for my upper breast. Not at all unusual to see patterns distribute volume into height, and create cups to be about half the width, depth I need. But after hearing how godwaffle moderately full this brand runs, I hoped for something a little shorter and deeper throughout lower cup, with a somewhat minimized apex. While this cup shape isn't nipple pocket city, there is an absurd slight shape where seams join at the center of cup, which makes a vaguely pointy bit for projection at the nipple.
At this point, I'm wondering who the hell they thought anyone wanted spare space in the very front to show off a puffy muffin titty? Or fit when overfilled like a nice wedgy box. Contrary to raging pms nips I've got this month. No, not I.
Attempting to shorten this discrepancy at the wire, creates a hideous pancake boob flap with no depth (shuddering in horror). Tucking an inch of height out along the upper seam down, to match my apex height, creates a fit like this bra was custom made. Read more 697 more words
This semi-padded bra from Kinga just may be my favourite form yet (apart from Kris Line soft half cups). For me, it is the perfect compromise between the sexy, natural shape of a softcup and the little extra oomf and nipple-hiding that a padded bra offers. It also dries in less than half the time it takes for my Ewa Michalak padded bras to dry. Bonus on laundry day https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Anafi II is constructed from a combination of baby pink and metallic silver lace, baby pink mesh and baby pink knitwear.
The cups are 3-part: 2 in the lower with 1 vertical seam ...and 1 in the upper.
The bottom of the cup is constructed of colour-matched cotton-lined corsetry foam that is overlaid with the lace.
The top of the cup is unlined sheer mesh with lace overlay on part of it.
These cups have narrow wires and plenty of projection at the wire - all the way around. I get a nice tack that's solid at the bottom and soft at the top of the gore.
There is no elastic strip at the back, but, as can be seen in photos, the top trim of the cup is, itself, lightly elasticized.
The bra provides a nice rounded appearance without compression or pushing my breasts up to my chin.
The band is constructed of stretch knitwear. It is a little smaller than I am accustomed to for 65 bands: it measures smaller (un-stretched 63cm), but when wearing it, it does not feel tight. It is smooth and comfortable. There are 3 rows of 2 hooks.
The wings and gore are made of the lace. There is a small bow and clear raindrop bead at the gore. Simple and elegant.
The straps on this one are positioned nicely - not too wide - but they are a little narrow and completely smooth. They are comfortable though, and I experience no digging in or pain after wearing.
I chose thong panties to make the set. They are made from the stretch knitwear with lace inserts at the hip. The cut and fit is great. I find Kinga thongs to be a little bit bigger (fabric is less compressive) than Krislines - by just a little bit. The sizing of their thongs is is more equivalent to Victoria Secret panty sizing.
I have to thank MamaPagan for encouraging me to try Kinga bras even after I was told by someone else that they would not fit me. Every one that I have tried yet has fit; some better than others, but they all fit.
I find Kinga sizing to be pretty consistent with Gorsenia.
I love this bra and will be asking MagdaBras4you to buy me more in the same form (816) in the future. Read more 354 more words
This is my first Kinga bra and it was a VERY pleasant surprise as it is beautiful and fits perfectly. It is a real alternative to Ewa M's BM. I will definitely buy more of this form.
This bra is form 811 : a 4-part soft cup and is made out of lace with fine mesh lining and side support. The cradle and band are made of knitwear - but it's double layered on mesh - very impressive quality.
NB There IS narrow elastic (not plastic tape) at the top of this cup. Important if you have tall and/or soft roots that tend to quad from these.
The straps are ...a little narrow for this size, but still comfortable. There is no bow or any embellishment where the strap meets the cup - while I am not a huge fan of flashy bows, I do like something covering the join.
There is a gore embellishment though - a little bow and a rhinestone drop. Very pretty.
Matching panties are lace-backed briefs. more generous in size than Gorsenia and Krisline...next time I will take XS. Read more 72 more words
I always loved Kinga designs. They have at least 25 different styles, so with a bit of experimentation, everyone can find a good fit. If within their size range, of course!
This bra is very nice on you. 😍 Color and style are the best for you. Beautiful!!!🙌💋
Laguna IV BC-506/1 turkusowy in 70L Adding bra in for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database. ☺ Pictures don’t do the color on this one justice. It’s a perfect shade of turquoise blue, bright and beautiful. The cups are full padded, with lace accents around them but not on them. This allows for a smooth look under thin tops.
The band measured 25.5” to 32.5” full stretch.
Cup depth was 13”as measured by hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup without any resistance, to a max of 16” stretched over the knee.
Like most Kinga bras, the wires are very stiff.
For Kinga bras, I recommend Bras4you.com. Magda offers a wide selection and excellent customer service. If she doesn’t have what you’re looking for, and she can get it, she will. I have gotten all the Kinga bras I’ve tried from her, and have never been disappointed in her service.
The cup shape fits perfectly, but the band is noticeably tight. My other Kinga (Alexa II) I've been wearing on the tightest hooks since I got it, so this will take some getting used to. I feel like my chest points downward in this, but it may just be the seams on the cup. Overall it does everything I need it to, shape is just esthetic.
It could be wrong label, or it could be whoever sewed it made it smaller by having a wider seam allowance. I have a few bras that measure and fit like a 60 instead of the 65 they’re supposed to be. Can you try a bra extender to make the band a little longer?
Bra extender is already on, because for the rest the fit is quite good! Remains weird to have 5cm off though ;-)
Beautiful padded bra. Teal bra with periwinkle lace detail and straps. Great lift and cleavage. Well made and beautiful, just unfortunately a cup size too small. I tried a different Kinga padded bra a cup size up (Simi II in 75I) and had a near perfect fit. I usually take a UK 34GG/US 34J/34:10.
If you normally wear size UK- 34GG / US- 34J then you should rather choose 34J Kinga size. Model Simi II and Flowers II is sewn from the same form 915, so I think that even the size of 75 I would be good for you.:) If you want to try it, contact me at contact@bras4you.com. I have access to Kinga's bras and not only.
Very nice bra! Very nice soft beige color. It's 3-part semi-soft bra. Lower parts are made of polka dot fabric. They are lightly padded. Upper section is thin unstretchable lace. There is thin transparent elastic on the top of the cup (I hate this, as it always cuts into my breast tissue). The cups are projected with great amount of apex projection. Size down if you're between sizes! The band is made of mesh. It's soft and true to size ( I'd prefer tighter band). The bra gives a rather strange shape: very round at lower part and a little pointy at the apex. The seams between ...padded and lace part are visible under very thin t-shirt, and all together bra design is visible under thin and white fabric. I've cut off the transparent elastic from the top of the cups. As a result the cups became more open on top, the profile became more round. I think that cups are a little big for me ( about 0.5 size), but I'm not sure if I could use F cup (only if the lace was stretchy). After wearing Dia all day long I can say that the bra is very comfortable: nothing scratches, everything stays on its place, nipples are covered by the padded part and are not visible even when it's very cold

Amarello II BC-441/1 was labeled as a “super sized” referring to the larger cup sizes. It is a full padded bra with extra straps that go from the center gore to the straps. These extra straps are very stretchy but have no adjustability to them. The padding is the typical light foam lining found in most padded bras from Poland. The pattern gives the illusion of lace, but it has no lace on it. It is a beige color with a black lace ...looking pattern. The plus side of this is that there is no lace for you to snag on nails or jewelry etc.
The band measured 23” to 28” at full stretch.
Cup depth was 12” as measured by hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup without any resistance, to a max of 13.5” stretched over the knee.

Can’t completely fill out the bottom of the cups and the top has a large gap so obviously the cup is too large. The straps loosened all the way allowed for the band to fit a bit better but when I first put it on it rode up. The center gore was a mess. Pushed too far inward and not enough up.
I love the gray and pink combo on this bra! It is a three-part, half-padded style with a slightly shimmery, lightly-padded bottom section and a stretch lace top section. The cups have lots of room for bottom and apex projection with a slightly closed top edge, though the lace in the top section seems quite stretchy. The wires are narrow and very U-shaped. The straps are fairly narrow compared to most DD+ bras, but are fully adjustable.
The bra is marked as a European 65G, which should be equivalent to a UK 30F, but the band is very small and the cups are somewhat large, so it fits like a UK 28G.
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
I am always looking for new brands. I came across this on Ebay and I am pretty impressed. This is my usual size and fits the same as most brands. The cups/wires are too wide for my narrow roots (I usually need 15cm or less) and the band needs an extender -which is normal for me. The straps are slightly too ...wide, but definitely wearable - less than my Gorsenia but more than my Gaia Annika.
Only two hooks, and constructed with a very tight lower band - I can wear it with the top hook one column smaller than the bottom hook. Nice side boning and fully adjustable straps. No scalloping or ribbing so the strap sliders might move under stress. Quads on my centre fullness slightly, but it is slight enough that doesn't show through tops.
It is made with a lining of nude mesh that is no stretch, but gives a little on the bias. The outer layer is a stretch black lace. Consequently, it is not a sturdy support bra, but it will do for a day at the office.
It is a very nice round and centred shape. The side support panel has a spandexy outer layer rather than the lace. Unlike every other side support panel I have ever tried, this one starts far enough to the side not to cut into the fairly good immedate projection depth but also does not dig into my armpits! So.... I can wear side support.
There is an elastic strip along the top edge of the cup so it has a little FoT or tall root forgiveness, but really not a whole lot.
This might be a good brand for people looking for Polish immediate projection, round and centered shape, but need wider wires than the more common narrow Polish shape. It is not quite as wide as Ava, but definitely wider than Gorsenia, and I have found Gaia model dependant. Read more 277 more words
This was a Zulily gamble on a brand I hadn't tried before in a size I wasn't sure would work since I've changed size. It is VERY pretty and feels well put together and is very comfortable on. It is, unfortunately, very full coverage. If I weren't so short and boobalicious, I might not mind that, but I am and I do; it simply takes over the whole top half of mehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Size-wise, I'd say the 80J is roughly equivalent to a UK 36H/HH. I'm wearing 32/34-ish, GG-HH range bras, and this one is a little large in the band and a little deep in the apex of the cups. It's semi-"padded" (more lined than padded, really) with sheer mesh at the gore and the top half of the cups. I would absolutely try this brand again, if the style was clearly half-cup/balconette and I could get a 75J.
I love the twin strap look. 😍
