It's a very comfy push up bra, a souvenir from Euro 2012 Cup (hehehehhehe), but don't buy it if you like your band firm, it stretches so much that I would've swapped it for a 30FF/G if I could.

I wasn't expecting much of this one, given Kingas run-of-the-mill airbrushed glamour shots (not to mention sophieverney.com being infested with Trojans), but it's actually well constructed, supportive, sexy and gives a nice shape. The center gore sits firmly against my chest. The band feels comfortable but very snug on the loosest hooks. It's probably the tightest 65/30 I've tried.

Alas, G was too small. Their size calculator goes up to 65H, but that size is not listed in their advanced search and no store seems to sell it.

It's half-padded, with a thickish grainy material on the bottom half of the cups. There is also a set of removable pads. The straps are removable. Not sure how durable the plastic fasteners are. They got detached a couple of times during fitting, but that would be easy to fix. As usual, the seams show through tight tops.

The construction of this bra is different from any others I've seen, but I like it a lot. It has two vertical seams, making it a three part unlined, sheer balconette type bra. However there is also a padded side support section. It doesn't seem that the padding does anything in terms of pushing my breasts closer together (compared to a standard side support panel in most unlined bras), however I suppose it gives a slightly fuller outer appearance due to the padding.

It's hard to capture in pictures, but this is not really a plain black bra. It's... iridescent is the word I think? The stitches on the ... cups are various, shimmery colors. The word "mermaid" comes to mind. That said, it is still subtle enough and doesn't scream tacky or anything.

As with most Polish bras, you may wish to size up in the band. There isn't a lot of give/stretch in it. I stuck with my typical 65 band, however I think a 70 would've been okay too. For reference, I mostly wear 30 bands, with a few 28s mixed in.

The cups run maybe a smidge small. This size will normally fit my bigger side and will be a bit wrinkly on the smaller side, but for me it fits the small side and quads a little bit on the bigger side. Gore still tacks though.

This band runs a bit tight—I needed to use an extender to get the wires in the right place.

The cups are very supportive, and the bra itself is a lovely shape! A good basic black bra.

This bra is good, just not my favorite of my Kingas. She has the good qualities of most of them- good projection, narrower shoulder strap placement, supportive. The seams disappear under clothing, the padding is thin, and the inner cup is lined in soft cotton. The side sling is a prominent design feature and does a great job bringing the ladies forward. However, I find the wires to be a bit too firm and not quite the right shape for me. By the end of the day, I tend to have that orange in a glass look at the bottom of the cup, although the top still lies ... nicely enough. The side boning was cut too long, it rubs a little after awhile into my fat rolls. I may take them out to improve the comfort. The band is also bordering on too tight (probably in part due to the lack of flex in the wires), with this scallop edge to the elastic that can get pretty irritating after a while. I think ladies who like a harder wire would like this bra, but it's not a fav of mine. It's still a nice bra, and I'm still keep it, but I won't be purchasing more of this particular model. The Etna might be plainer, but it is much more comfortable and fits better for me.
Of note, I have not had the change cups sizes between soft and semi-soft Kinga bras, the volume has stayed the same between them.

This is a great work bra. Simple, supportive, comfortable, and disappears under shirts. The color is perfect for me, might be a bit light for those with darker complexions. I think their skin colorway is supposed to be darker. This bra has all the qualities I've come to expect from Kinga- great projection, fantastic lift and shaping, and that wonderful cut and placement of the shoulder straps that works so well for my narrow shoulders. The gore tacks, and the wires have a nice flex to them without being too bendy. There is a side sling hiding in the construction, you can sort of see the top of it in my side shot. The cups are lined in a thin padding and then soft cotton against the skin, and the seams barely show even when wearing my tightest shirts. The band on this one is very comfortable as well, snug and smooth. Between this one and the Sophie I got, I like this one better, and may purchase another in the future.

This is one of the bras I ordered from Bras4you.com. I had originally ordered it in beige, but am so glad she didn't have my size in that colorway. The black is so stunning! I really like this bra. It's a fantastic fit and very comfortable.
I decided to try this model after finding my Gorteks Pamela's straps were set too wide to be comfortable. In every way, I think the Michelle is a better bra for me. The straps are set the perfect width for me, with that so right cut along the armpit of the cup that all the Kingas I've tried have. It ... really makes a world of difference for my narrow shoulders.
The wires are also that just right spot between flexible and firm, providing support without stabbing or digging in. The side boning had me worried, but it is cut short enough to move inside its channel and thus does not poke my fat rolls on my side. The cup material seem so delicate, but they do an amazing job rounding up my girls. The side sling is some sort of magic, it really brings everything front and center. The side view has a vintage-like point, but as you can see from the bottom it still provides a fairly rounded shape. I love where Kinga bras put the apex of my breast, so perky compared to the Pamela. There is a fine little elastic along the cup edge, which really helps mask my asymmetry.The band has a soft but strong elastic, and the gore tacks lightly. I really like the shape of the gore, wider at the base and super narrow at the top. It really helps this bra snuggle into my IMF.
This is probably one of the first bras I've gotten since starting my bra fitting journey that I literally forgot I wearing, it is sooo comfortable! Very happy with this purchase!

I got this bra from Moretights.com. I am so glad they were recommended to me, the processing time and shipping was quick, and the prices are great! Store is in Poland, they ship internationally, and boy do they have a ton of choices to choose from. I've been finding the latest seasonal lines from Kinga showing up in their online store within days of debut, and they carry dozens of other brands. From order placement to arrival in at my US doorstep has been averaging about 2.5-3wks.
Now, about the bra. I adore this one so much! So sexy and seductive, yet soft and incredibly ... comfortable! The form is another 801, but unlike my Mist, it does not have a support side sling. This lets the girls sit a little wider than in my other Kinga bras, but not terribly so, adding to the softness of the look. The inner cup is a 3-part seamed cup with wonderful immediate projection and pleasing lift, while the lace is a stretchy overlay that provides some softening of seam lines and nipple bumps when worn under t-shirts. It provides a natural but wonderfully lifted shape, perhaps a tad pointy for some.
The wires have just the right amount of flex for me, requiring no bending or shaping to keep it from digging into my sternum. They have some space to move inside their casing, preventing them from poking my armpits, and they sit just where they're supposed to on my body. The gore tacks extremely well without stabbing or floating. The decorative straps are adjustable and actually help keep the gore pulled up in place between the girls, a tough task considering how close-set I am.
The shoulders straps are perfection. Soft, wide, fully adjustable, and set at the exactly the right width for my narrow, sloping shoulders. The elastic is not firm, hopefully they won't stretch out too fast. The band is firm but not uncomfortable, and the side wing height is fantastic for my petite frame.
I really love this bra, and the matching brief looks so flattering and sexy on my fluffy curves! Kinga is definitely my go-to brand, the sizing has been very consistent and suites my body so well!

This is one of my first Polish bras and I am very impressed. I was nervous about the sizing and if the gore would sit too high, but both have been good! I got this and a Gorteks Pamela on sale from Lavinia Lingerie, using their sizing guide in cm, terrified it would be wildly inaccurate and I would be stuck with something so big it would eat me alive. Instead, both bras are the closest to perfect in fit I've tried so far! I love the shape it gives me, and it looks perfect under a T-shirt.
About this bra:
The fabric colorway is beautiful, moving from a ... sweet lavender to a dusty blue, all in high saturation. The mesh softens with a light vinegar wash, I do not find it scratchy at all. I edited out my nipples, their outline inside the bra is quite visible in real life, however no headlight effect so far. It is light but sturdy. I barely notice it against my skin, yet it held me wonderfully while playing hard with my dog.
The gore does not tack quite perfect, but very close, and the wires touch in the center. The wires are a bit wider than the Gorteks bra, but not uncomfortably so and less than my Wacoal Perfect Primer. They do come up a tad high on the side for me and can poke sometimes when I slouch too much. Since I am rather petite (5'1"), this is pretty common in most bras. It is not bad enough to be a deal-breaker for me.
The band is not as snug as the Gorteks, but does not ride up even when the straps are cranked super tight. Considering I'm between a 32 and 34 band US, I'm not surprised about that. There is no side boning, but it doesn't seem to need it.
The cups do a great job of lifting and shaping me, but could use a little more immediate projection at the wire. As you can see, there's wrinkling along the bottom after a few hours wear. The wires don't perfectly follow my IMF, but not sure if that's because of the projection issue, my armpits pushing it down at the sides when I slouch (my posture is terrible), or if I might be omega-shaped. None of it is a deal-breaker. The top follows my larger breast perfectly. There is gaping at the top of my smaller breast, I intend to put a small tuck in to address that.
The thing that really sold me on this bra is the removable straps. They are soft, wide, and a good length. The little jewel is glued on, but seems solid. Both at the back and front, they have the hooks to remove them from the bra, so you can convert this to racerback or halter easily. Love it! I am concerned those clips may snap eventually, they feel plastic, but replacements are not hard to find and install.

My shape:
Still learning, but I know I am very projected and a little center full, narrow shoulders and petite but fluffy. I think I am slightly more full on top, especially on the larger side, and I think I have average bordering on narrow root width. One side is almost a full cup larger than the other, I have started fitting for this side with plans to alter the smaller side to fit. Would love any advice to help me find even better fitting bras.

This fits according to my standard which is *a very tight band* - you can see how much the band is straining, but it feels so good to have a band this tight! I have no problem wearing a band this tight - I'm probably in the minority in this, but my boobs are really supported. This is my first Kinga bra; I believe I looked at the data on bratabase before ordering. Though now I look at the size chart on Kinga's webpage, https://www.kinga.com.pl/tabela-rozmiarow, they would've put me in a completely different band with my measurements. I got this off the website ... rel="nofollow">MoreTights.com for $35.13 cad + $13.78 shipping.

I would mark this as a "Fit" in bratabase, but I don't want to mess up the data b/c most people with my measurements probably wouldn't want a band this tight? Idk.

The positives: this bra is very interesting. It's my first semi-soft, but you know what? I would consider this a padded bra! It's *mostly* padded. I want to compare this to a Comexim padded plunge (even though I'm sure Kinga's Etna II is *not* trying to be like a Comexim PP!) Kinga's Etna II doesn't have as much immediate projection as Comexim's padded plunge (at least I pulled out my Comexim Charm PP and compared the cups on both), so my boobs get pushed up more. Despite this, I still think the bra's comfortable, it's just *my boobs are higher* If you already have a high root attachment, this probably isn't a good bra for you - it's just going to push your boobs up more.

The regular Etna is a soft bra, and was reviewed on Stanikomania https://stanikomania.pl/spokoj-etny-recenzja-biustonosza-kinga-etna/ Etna (soft bra) is similar in aesthetics to Etna II, except Etna II is padded; the bottom part of the cup is only in 2-parts - which you would think would be way too shallow for me, but for some reason it's not (it's sorcery?) and I'm able to make it work, but YMMV. Also, I think this is the best cup size for me, but if you look carefully, it's prob a tad too big on the right side (my smaller side) and a tad too small on my left side (larger side), but c'est la vie, this is the best cup size for me in the middle for a padded bra. There's probably one finger of empty space at the bottom of the cups, but it's not a deal-breaker. Can't wait to try this bra out for a full day - I've just washed it - but I've already worn it for 6 hours today, no problemos.

The negatives: I honestly can't think of any. Like *any* bra, your success with this particular bra will depend on breast shape, a.k.a. it will not work for everyone. I also don't have any other Kinga bras to compare this to. I read (I believe on a bra blog) that Kinga is trying to go more luxury.

Edit: Bra strap length is pretty good on this bra (for those of you with lower set breasts, or people who are tall), I had to take the bra off and adjust the straps shorter, and I'm a pretty tall person (well, 5'7 so a bit taller than average).

Doesn't have a ton of projection, the top edge of the cup cuts into my center full shape. The silohette looks significantly minimized and flattened unaltered. Yet I think this size is overall the best for me. Once I replaced the underwires with stiffer ones from Porcelynne, the fit is more accomadating to my shape. I would prefer the height of the gore to be shorter mostly for the appearance, the comfort level is good, even with the stiffer underwires. The aesthestic is very pretty, and that along with my desire to try Kinga is ultimately what made me pull the trigger and buy yet another bra. The mesh parts aren't the most comfortable texture, but not that annoying either. The strap texture is soft by contrast.

I tried this because it's a Polish brand hoping it would have more projection but it's too shallow for me. Because it's EU sizing this fits like a 30DD.

Such a stretchy band that I altered it down to be a 28 from stretching to about 32 or 34". Very FoT friendly with the black stretch lace - this is one of those bras that I can comfortable wear across 2-3 different sizes (~28ff/g/gg), It has good immediete projection and great depth. It's cofmortable enough to sleep in (I have), and help up incredibly well to when it was my only bra that fit me for months, I wish Kinga was readily available . . .customer service was unhelpful, insulting and uppity about shipping to countries not listed as well as telling me if any other stores sell their bras that ship to my country.

Overall the bra is lovely with nice shape and very pretty lace. The one issue for me is that it is way too big (even though the 30:7 ratio pretty reliably fits me), to the point that I recommend going 1-2 cup sizes down from what you usually wear in this bra.

Very nice bra. Comfortable with removable push up pads. Just too small in the cup for me.

Updated on Nov 27, 2020 Flag this

this bra is so pretty! I love the diamond detailing and there's also a little gem on the gore—so cute. I got this bra secondhand from another user and I knew I was gambling a little on the size—it doesn't look quite right on me, though it's still pretty comfortable and supportive. the band is a tiny bit bigger than I'd like, but the bigger issue is that I just don't quite fill out the cups. However, I find with balconnet style bras that since the support is coming from the bottom part of the cup, some wrinkling in the upper sheer part isn't a huge deal except from an aesthetic perspective. I might try altering the band, but in the meantime I'm still wearing this bra around the house/under my baggier shirts lol.
