Before I bought a Kris Line, I was warned that the brand could be a big granny-ish, but this bra is far from that. It is probably the nicest bra I own. It has beautiful detailing and uses high quality fabric. There is some cotton blend in parts of the bra, which makes it comfortable and breathable. It looks pretty good under clothes. That is, it gives me lift and forward projection and minimizes east-west migration. It is also wide enough in the cups to encompass all of my side breast tissue. And the problems with it don't show up under clothes.
But it isn't quite right. I ...have quad boob on both sides, but especially pronounced on the left. My nipples fall under the sheer lace rather than under the padded part of the bra. Even though the cups are clearly too small on top, the lace still sticks up a little bit at the edge where the quad-boob starts.
The band is extremely stretchy. From the moment I purchased this (brand new), I have needed to use the fourth hook and eye column in order to get any support from the band. I would need to go down one or two band sizes for the band to work.
But I like the bra so much that I am determined to figure out the correct size. It's my most comfortable bra now, and I imagine things would be better if it fit properly.
This bra is extremely comfortable, but the band is more stretchy than I would prefer. However, I love the way I look in the bra, as it gives a wonderful rounded shape.
Lovely lace bra. Soft cup. No padding. Beautiful lace. Too large for me in the cups. I also found the straps to be set too far apart and the wings to be a bit too high.
Kris Line Princessa in Coral. What a beautiful bra. The fabric is soft. Even the lace is pleasant to touch. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows. I normally wear 30H or 32GG and should have stuck with that size for Kris Line. Instead I ordered HH and the cups are too big for me. I just can't fill them at the top. I also find that the straps are too far apart for my liking. I like the straps closer together and the wings a little shorter than on this bra.
My bra size according to the ABTF calculator is 30GG (UK). I'm fob and can wear a 30G in Freya deco with a little quad boob. I opted to order 2 cups up from my "true" size. It was a good thing I did because this bra fit perfect in 30HH. I ordered the bra from Zulily 20 days ago and it arrived today 4 days ahead of the projected shipment date. The band feels snug, with a 29" under bust I found it comfortable but not tight. I wouldn't call it a 28 band. This bra way more projected than my Freya decos, narrower as well. The ...appearance and quality of this bra is off the charts. The strap placement is also much narrower than Freya, and the straps have a U shaped attachment to the band. There are 4 hooks horizontally and 2 hooks vertically, which should extend wear. The gore was nice and low, gave great cleavage. The bra is molded, but has a seem in the bottom, probably to give a more projected shape. Very rounded look. There is a bit of boning on the side outside the cups, I think to smooth things out. The interior of the bra is white and soft. Read more 100 more words
It's a molded cup, so it's got a bit more of a smoothing effect. Even though I don't 100% fill out the top of the cup, it holds it shape. Very front-and-center, though the side support is so strong, it almost gives a bit of a pointy shape. I'd like a little more lift, but that's because my breasts are fairly low on my chest--anything short of a pulley system is going to feel a little low to me.
Most incredibly, the wires are narrow enough! I have never found another bra that doesn't creep too far under my armpits. Very strong, very sturdy hold, beautiful satiny fabric, very narrow wires, and removable pads for va-va-voom cleavage. Comparable to Curvy Kate's showgirl line, but with EXTREMELY narrow wires instead of extremely wide ones.
I ordered 1 band up and 2 cups up based on others' reviews. The band is very very firm, there's no stretch at all. It's labeled as a 65/30 but it only stretches to 28.5"
The cups ended up being huge. They're actually 2 sizes too big... even with the removable pads inserted in. I would've been fine in a 65G. Material is really nice and soft. The bottom of the bra is softly padded, the top is just lace.
It has 4 columns of 2 rows of hooks. It's extremely comfortable. The shape is extremely uplifted and a bit pointy. I think that's a result of me being too small and full on bottom to fill it out correctly.
Based on others' reviews, Kris Line seems to run 2 sizes small if you're H+ and 1 size small if you're under H. Also supposedly the band runs very tight.
In this particular bra, I would definitely say the cup runs 1 size smaller than UK brands, but the band itself is very true to size and a bit stretchy. I had to wear it on the last hooks, there's 4 rows instead of 3. The straps are removable so you can wear this bra as a cross back or halter.
There is a significant amount of push up. This causes me to quadboob in the middle and not able to fill the top of the side of the cups since everything is pushed to the center. The wires are really flimsy so the gore has trouble tacking.
Overall, lovely bra, kind of a disappointment for me. If you are looking for a pushup and a multiway, this is a good choice.
Well, on the downside, the cups in this bra definitely run small. I need at least one more size up for the gore to have a chance at tacking. On the upside, I get *ridiculous* cleavage with this bra. There's a lot of padding in the bottom like a push-up, and it just puts EVERYTHING front and center. It's my go-to cleavage creator, my favorite "boob bra." I actually don't even feel terribly unsupported despite the too small cups. Everything more or less stays in place.
This bra is also, hands-down, the more gorgeous one I've ever had the good fortune to own. It's just beautiful. The lace along the bottom is detailed and delicate - it's layered to create a lovely depth effect. The fabric is soft and silky. The ripple/pleating ornamentation on the cups themselves is top quality. I could go on, but let's just assume that this bra is absolutely fantastic in terms of design.
I purchased a 65 in this band, because the 30(65) in Kris Line Gloria (half padded) fit me really well. The Gloria was slightly smaller than a UK 30, but this fits closer to a 26.
The cup fit about as expected, but I needed two extenders to fasten Agatha.
It's a really nice quality bra, but the band runs two sizes smaller than my previous experience with Kris Line, so doesn't fit.
Purchased this in 30HH when I was a 30GG. I was a 30G by the time it arrived, but my guestimate on sizing seemed right. 30HH in this bra fits about like a 30GG. It's still wearable as a 30G, but a teeny bit big.
Half-padded cups with a slot in the fabric for inserts if you feel the need. No inserts came with it.
I kind of love it. Narrow, very forward facing cups. The one thing I don't love is that there was an elastic seam along the top of the cup, not fabric like most bras, which pulled the top of ...the cup quite tight. I'm not FoT, I'm more on the Even side of FoB, and it really cut in quite a lot, so I very carefully removed the elastic and now it's a pretty nice fit. It gapes a tiny bit, but it IS technically a size too big in the cup.
Really cute striped pattern. Big, round shape. Extremely comfortable. The wires are still a bit wide for me, but in the right size they would probably be really good for my narrow/projected boobs. Read more 90 more words
Band: True 34/75 instead of a typical "tight Polish" band. Band is too large for me (I prefer true to loose 32/tight 34 bands), but would work well for others needing this size.
Cup width: Nice and narrow, which is what you'd expect from a Polish brand.
Cup depth: Deep cups that allow for lots of projection.
Cup construction: Top part is typical mesh/lace for an unpadded bra; bottom part is padded with additional removable pads. Padded part seems to offer additional support and is not a feature found on many bras in this size range (meaning a half-padded bra.)
Gore: Mid/low height gore that ...is very close together (1.5 cm!) Gore works very well for my close-set boobs.
Wings: Wings have boning! Why can't every bra have this?
Straps: Very wide and soft. Feel much like Freya straps. Straps are fully adjustable, but only to a point. There is decoration at the top of the straps that prevented me from being able to adjust them all the way (which wouldn't normally be an issue, but I am very high set and needed to adjust these straps quite short.) Straps are also a bit too far on the edge of my shoulders (but that's nothing new!)
Appearance: Absolutely gorgeous! Materials are of very high quality and feel luxurious against the skin.
Shape: Upfront and slightly (?) pointy. Unfortunately, this is not an ideal shape for my preferences, but others may favor it. Everything else about this bra is a winner in my book, but ultimately the shape is what made it a no-go for me.
About me: FoB, soft tissue, high on chest, close-set; currently wearing UK 32J/JJ, 70K/75JJ Ewa Michalak PL, 70JJ/75J Ewa Michalak SM, and Comexim 75L/75M. Read more 197 more words
Beautiful bra. Excellant quality. Fabric is very soft. Very Narrow gore and tons of immediate center projection which my close set full in the middle breast really appreciate.
I sized up after reading all the reviews, but it was just too much. I found the band to be stretchy and would size down to 75/34 if I re-ordered. Think Freya on the bands. I can usually size down when a bra has enough projection. @panache Jasmine fits in the 36GG
I just got this bra, an it doesn't fit so it will b hard to review.
Pros- 4 sets of hook/eyes, nice material, what appears to be fully adjustable straps, wing boning.
Cons- two hooks/eyes for each set, padding in the bottom of the cup is a bit stiff, bra straps change halfway through and may be hard to shorten over new material.
I was surprised that it was padded. That dashed any hope that it would fit. It's not super thick, but we are talking more then a Deco. It's a pretty bra, basic but enough detail to be interesting.
This is the second bra in my Kris Line order from Zulily. For what is essentially a pushup plunge bra the gore is fairly high, causing it to stick out a little bit on me. It's pretty heavily padded both in a push-up sense and as it tapers up to the top/inside edge. All that said, it's very comfortable and the band is comfortably firm and snug on the largest of four hooks. The straps are not fully adjustable but the remaining portion just has light embroidery that doesn't stick out on the sides and could easily be adjusted past. The wires were very comfortable and seemed to hit me in just the right place. The materials seem less high quality than the 65D - Kris Line ยป Duffy Push-up (1196), but still pretty high. The straps are detachable and thus could be converted to racerback/etc. This is a very pretty bra with a high level of comfort and lots of versatility/wear-ability (good for tshirts because of the seamless cups).
This bra is so pretty! Unfortunately it's way too small. While its labeled a JJ it is NOT the same as a UK JJ cup. It's measurements match more with a UK 30H or a very firm 32GG. Very well made with sturdy construction. The wires are nice and narrow and the cups are deep.
First, this bra is gorgeous. Great color, and so soft and silky! I want to put it on and never stop wearing it! So comfortable! So of course there is a problem. I read everywhere that they run tight, so I figured a 30D would work fine. It's not snug as the band is very stretchy. On the tightest hooks, it quickly rode up a little in the back. So disappointing. Do I alter it or sell it to someone who it will fit better? I don't think I want to risk injuring it's inherent beauty by trying my own hand at it. The straps are removable, but this bra ...isn't tight enough in the band for me to ever consider that. There are removable cookies in the bottom of the cups, and it fit me much better without them (with them the gore wouldn't tack, but once I removed them it was fine). The lace is very pretty on the cups and along the band. The lace at the top of the right cup stuck out a bit, but the cup itself appeared to be filled out, I think maybe it's just bent outward from shipping. The contour/molded cups are made of a very soft foam, I think, not too thick and not stiff at all. The silky fabric used for the band is so soft and nice against the skin. The straps don't adjust all the way, but they do go quite far and the non-adjustable portion in the front is just decorated with some embroidery, so I think it could be overcome if necessary. The lace on the cups is thick and would definitely show through a t-shirt or thin top (unfortunately much of what I wear). I SO wish this fit me better. Read more 187 more words
This was bought when I thought I was supposed to be a 32DD, so that would be why the sizing's so off. Thought it was the best thing ever when I first got it,but I realized that I didn't quite properly swoop and scoop when I got it. The band's tighter than the indicated size, but it's still too loose for me, and the cups run maybe a size or two smaller. Think it'd fit someone who were a 32D/DD better (Maybe a 30DD/E that wanted a looser band).
This bra is beautiful and very supportive and overall an excellent, luxurious option in a sea of boring (or downright ugly) nursing bras. Even if you don't need a nursing bra, I think it would be an excellent addition to any bra wardrobe.
However, the 34H fits more like a 34G/GG. Also, the band is pretty stretchy, so I'd recommend going down a band size. So if you're looking for a true-to-size 34H, this isn't it. The gore is extremely narrow and a little on the high side. The cups are fairly narrow as well.
Overall thoughts: I'd buy it again in a different size.
I have been madly eyeballing @KrisLine, i just wish I could find more information on sizing...
Will you be putting this one up for sale as well?
