    Hasn't set fit

    I really liked the colours on this bra, and since I had never tried Kostar before (and there's also not so much information about it), I gave it a try. This looks pretty and well made in real life, but fit-wise it's super wide (20cm cup width!) and extremely shallow (at just 27cm depth). I was quite surprised to see this, since usually Polish bras tend to have narrower and deeper cups.

    The construction and materials are quite good quality and very appropriate for the price point, and the colours are bright. The cups have a soft cotton-like jersey material on the outside, and an extra layer of ... mesh on the inside. The cup is closed off with an elastic, which will probably not work for a full on top shape. The materials are overall soft.

    The wires are quite flexible, and the wings and gore are relatively tall and there is also side boning. The band is stretchy and soft - although due to the too small cups I can only try the bra on with an extender (so this is the first time I actually experience a band feeling too small when just the cup is too small! Based on the measurements the band should fit fine). The straps are quite short, as for trying it on I've adjusted them to the maximum.

    About the fit, the wide and shallow cups don't work for my projected shape at all. Plus, the bra also runs very small in the cups, so for me (~36GG) this is probably at least 2 sizes too small. The shape is somewhat pointy (which would probably be the same also in a well fitting size) and also downward facing (could be just a matter of size, although the bra is probably better suited for bottom fullness).

      Bummer it didn't work for you. Kostar has such great quality, but definitely seem to make shallow cups. Hopefully they will add some styles with more immediate projection in the future.

      Wow, that is a... very... accurate?! copy of the Aubade Bahia embroidery and possibly even one of their colorways :-/ Obviously Aubade offer nothing even close to this size range, just uncommon to see something so exactly similar to a very distinctive design. I wonder if Kostar actually managed to source the same embroidered fabric somehow!

      MamaPagan Oh yes, Kostar has some beautiful designs - I love the lime green bra
      @wendybien You're right, they're so similar! I'm not sure it's the exact same material though, because in the pictures of the Bahia the embroidery looks more..tightly sewn. And although I haven't had any bra from Aubade, I think that quality-wise they are more like Empreinte or Maison Lejaby - and the Havana seems to be good quality, but more like a Freya/Panache bra than an Empreinte one..

      JulieCS yes Aubade is definitely a higher-end company, materials and finishes are super nice. So if Kostar is more mid-range, yeah I guess they would not be likely to be able to get the same fabric!
