No idea what the model name is; I couldn't find this bra on the manufacturer's web site. Might be an older model; got it on clearance. Three part cup in gray, soft fabric, lined; the upper part and the gore with lace detailing. The band size seems long, but it fits well. Gives a round, lifted, forward shape. Not the sexiest model around, but a good, comfortable everyday bra.
This bra does NOT fit like a 30HH. It's probably more like a 28H.
I usually wear a 30GG or 32G. I tried this bra in 3 sizes, and this was the closest I could get to the right fit in the cups. The band is definitely tight - I could not fasten the 30 without an extension, and the 32 was tight, but bearable. At the end of the day, though, this bra was just the wrong shape for me - not enough projection in the bottom of the cup.
All that being said, this is an absolutely gorgeous bra. ...It is covered with a beautiful and subtle embroidery on the cups, and has lace detailing along the tops of the cups, the center of the band, and the front half of the straps. It is incredibly well made, the fabric is soft and very comfortable, and there is side boning. The wires are nice and narrow, and (at least for me) the wings were high enough to hold everything in, but not so tall they were restricting my arms. I am really crushed that I could not get this bra to fit! Read more 97 more words
Omg. This bra is so so comfortable. Great for projection! It's also gorgeous. I didn't realize it, but it has removable padding. This is a highly padded bra. Unfortunately, the band is just way to big. I hooked it on the tightest hook, and it is still too big. Bummer. The wires are great, narrower than freya, but not comexim/em narrow. The best part about this bra? It doesn't dig in my armpits! It doesn't come high enough to do so, which makes it super comfortable. One thing I don't like is the pointy-ness of the bra. I already knew going in that 3 part seamed bras always ...make me pointy, but it doesn't look like kris line makes other styles in larger sizes. Not a huge deal, but I may be choosy about what clothing I wear with this bra. As far as fit, it's about a cup size too small. I get a lot of spillage especially in the center, but it's not horrible. Another thing that is great about this bra, is that the straps are super adjustable to a huge range. All in all, I'll be looking out for kris line in other styles, and maybe with a rixie clip? Shame no 28 bands! Read more 100 more words
I never thought I would have anything to do with a padded mall. For heaven's sakes, this is a 70HH. I don't need any more padding. But when I tried this on, it was so incredibly comfortable, but has such nice lovely lace detailing so that it's not industrial-looking, even though there's so much fabric to it due to its size.
After trying a lot of very uncomfortable UK branded bras, this seems to suit my projected shape so much better. Instantly comfortable and not making me feel like I'm going to have to suffer for a little support.
I did find when I was trying them on at ...the shop that Kris Line sizing is wildly inconsistent. The same size in different colors can be vastly different in fit. Where one bra in the same size may have been slightly loose, the same exact size wouldn't fit around me and hook at all.
Speaking of hooks, one of the great things about this is that there are not three but four rows of eyes on the back of the bra for the hooks. Hopefully this will help with its longevity. Read more 82 more words
This is a pretty bra. I think I just need one half or full size cup up. It does not lay flat on my sternum. I bought it to try the sizing of a Kris Line bra. I feel their sizing runs tight in the band. It is very well made and pretty for an everyday bra. It has a lot of lacy detail and nice wide straps. It gives a nice rounded uplifted look. I definitely buy Kris Line again.
To be perfectly honest, I found this bra in the back of a drawer, and hadn't worn it in years, but I'll try and comment on it to the best of my memory.
The wires had come out, so I didn't include cup width in my measurements, as I wouldn't consider that to be fair. I was fitted into this when I was at my highest weight, but I really think that the 65 band was still a little too big then. The wires are quite narrow, and the cups are fairly deep. I suspect the wires came out of the bra because it wasn't quite the correct size, ...but I wasn't as game as I am now at calling staff out on bra fit which isn't correct.
In this size range, the bra has a 3 piece construction, with additional vertical boning in the wing. The straps are fully adjustable and fairly sturdy. An unusual, and rather nice feature, is the fact that the wire channels overlap slightly at the top, creating a narrower gore, which is good for close-set breasts. There are four columns of three rows of hooks, making a reasonably thick band.
The band hasn't stretched out that much from wear, though I was never really stretching the bra out that much. The powermesh has stayed intact, without any pulls and runs which you can sometimes get after owning a bra for a while.
I think this would be a really nice narrow, deep bra for someone who was the correct size (and liked black bras). Read more 149 more words
I had heard that Kris Line bras ran large in the band, so I ordered my usual cup size in the smaller of the two band sizes I routinely wear. I should have ordered one band size down and one cup size up: I could wear this band on the loosest hook and the gore didn't tack (there was quadboob when I pushed it flat). I'm guessing that a 32HH would be best for me, although I normally wear 34GG or 36G.
The bra has three hooks but they are close-set, so at first glance it looks like there are only two. The oval spot effect which you see in the band and most of the cup is not dye, but small openings in the lace which allow the lining to show through. This gives it a more sophisticated look than the first impression.
It's a very secure-feeling bra, but I should have insisted on trying the 34HH at the store because the center gore stands out about 1-2 centimeters from my chest and there's slight quadraboob along my largest breast. I'm also not happy with my profile in this bra . . . a little too beak-like for me.
Got this from someone who is 30G/GG, and I'm about a 30H/HH. We're both a bit fuller on the bottom - she found it too big, I found it too small! Maybe this is ideal for someone on the GG/H border?
This bra is super gorgeous, right up my alley in terms of style. The top section is stretchy which is great for accommodating different shapes or asymmetry. I liked the gore height - low enough for nice, smooth cleavage, but high enough to be contained and unconcerned with spilling out. Shape is projected with lift, reminds me of the Freya Deco and various Polish bras in general. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
However, be warned - this bra does not have the loose stretchy feel of UK bras, and is especially different compared to Freya's loose bras. It feels like it just wraps snugly right around you without stretching to accomodate.
Too high under my arms - not the wires, just a textile. Wires are problematic in front, on a sternum where they poke me, they're too high. It stretched out a lot - I remeber first days as painful because of too tight band, and after a ~month it was ok, in 2 years it became too loose.
Not sure if this was just this one bra I got, but the band was wayy too small, feels like a 26 or 24 band. I got it on with the last hook of an extender, and the cups were small too. So this probably fits more like a 24F or 26F
Saphiro : I forgot to mention, the cups were actually really small too (about two or so cup sizes small), which is why I said it fits more like a 24F or 26F. You'll notice that it has about the cup depth of a 28E.
I got this bra from a user on r/braswap and I'm glad I did. Sure, I already have a Kris Line bra in the purple spectrum in the form of a Kris Line Jasmine Soft Cup -- but sure why not have another if the price is right. This shade of purple is a more light, dusty purple compared to the Jasmine, which is a more vivid color.
The band is spot on: it fits perfect on the loosest hooks. The cups are the right width and height and the underwires don't dig into my armpits. The gore is kind of high, but since it ...is a narrow gore, it doesn't dig into my chest or anything. It just means I can't wear anything low cut with it. There is also side boning in the wings, which I like. I wish more bras bothered with side boning!
The cups give a typical lifted Kris Line shape: lifted, closer together, mostly round with a slight point. Not everyone is into this shape, but as I've mentioned before, it looks pretty great under clothing. Read more 77 more words
I don't know what it is about the Gladys that bewitched me into having to own it. I first saw it on Brastop and added it to my cart but didn't buy it, and much to my chagrin, it sold out in the size I wanted. So later when the opportunity to purchase it in a possible sister size came up, I bought it.
Perhaps it is the unexpected combination of the texturized dots and the lace trim with (I think they're called) rosettes, paired with the subdued color. The stock photos made it look almost pewter in color, but once it was in my hands I found it ...to be more of a light khaki color accented with silvery grey. The cups are seamed and lightly padded with a soft cottony material, similar to brands like Ewa Michalak or Comexim. The padding doesn't cover the whole cup, more like the bottom half. The lace part of the cups are unlined. The straps also have some trim on them, but this means they only adjust to a halfway point, which is something to keep in mind if you're really petite. Straps are usually a problem for me, but these were okay.
The Gladys is rather comfortable. It doesn't dig into my armpits or try to saw off my arms at the shoulder. The gore comes up a little higher than what I'm used to, but because the gore is so narrow, it doesn't bother me. Because I sized up in the band, I had to use the tightest hooks. However, after my experience with the Kris Line Mare Balcony bra I hesitate in ordering a 30 band. The Gladys also has side boning (!!) in the wings, something I consider a plus.
The bra is very much designed to give your boobs that "up front" look. The shape it gives my boobs is rounded with a slight point, which works well under clothing. It also lifts them up nicely. Rather than flattening your boobs, it gives some projection, which is nice. If you are looking for a nice bra to wear under work clothing or something subtly sexy with a unique pattern, I'd recommend the Gladys for you. Read more 264 more words
My boobs are close in the center, wide and shallow at the root, full on bottom.
This bra seems like it might be a cup size too small, as I quadraboob out a bit. The center gore is wider than other bras I have tries, but it doesn't bother me because it doesn't tack! I actually didn't find this bra uncomfortable, but pictures show a lot of tissue escaping at the armpits. Also, pictures show that the underwire sits far under my breast and there is empty space. I cannot get the bra to sit any higher, so this doesn't seem to suit my shape.
My pictures don't show the quadraboob and show more tissue in the armpit - I have managed to swoop and scoop better in the bra than when the pics were taken.
When this fit, it was one of my favorite bras of all time. The top part is firm enough to keep boobage from spilling over, but flexible enough to not cut in for those of us who are full on top. Usually I'm not one for shine and sparkle, but the detailing on the cups of this is really subtle and I find it to be lovely. The color works great under dark tops, and it's pretty smooth even under tight T-shirts. Gives that great right out front Kris Line shape. Band is firm, straps almost entirely adjustable. Highly, highly recommended. I mourn that this bra doesn't come in my current size.
This bra is much too small for me and has been for a while, so this is all from memory and what I can observe.
The bra is gorgeous, gorgeous shape (characteristic front and center Kris Line profile), gorgeous color, just... Gorgeous. Seems sturdy, and I never had any issues wearing it. Loved it while it was in my size. Band is quite firm. Straps (amazingly) adjusted short enough for my tiny shoulders - the whole length is adjustable. Highly recommended.
This bra felt fantastic! So fantastic that I'm tempted to keep it even though it doesn't quite fit perfectly (the center gore doesn't come close to touching once I scoop and swoop - pre S&S it's pretty close). The lace detailing on the bottom of the bra is gorgeous, and I love how the top part of the cup that encloses the boob is stretchy fabric, so it doesn't cut in. This bra also has 4 columns of hooks, allowing for even more adjustment on tightness.
Also, the wires on this bra were very sturdy, and didn't stretch out when I did up the band.
I got this bra through BraStop where it was called the Pearl Bra, but based on the pictures I believe it is the same model.
Sadly this one is too small for me. The band fits perfectly, but the center gore won't lay flat and I get quite a bit of quadraboob on my larger side. The fabric of this bra is nice and satiny. The lower opaque panels of the cup are padded and the upper lace panel is not. I like how sturdy/wide the straps are.
Overall, not a bad bra. I just need to figure out my size in Kris Line.
Don't you mean 26G or 24GG?
