Buckle up cuz this is a long one LOL!

I was fortunate enough to try this bra courtesy of Santa from LaBella Intimates in Florida! See the story below, but long story short it’s going back, so I wanted to upload the measurements in case it would help someone else. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

(Story: I ordered a 75JJ KL Brilliant and Santa (the store owner) reaches out to me to tell me that she would have to order that size from Poland because it was out of stock and it would take about 8 weeks to arrive. She suggested that she send me a 75JJ Fortuna ... to try on instead and if it fit she would order the Brilliant for me. Such a sweet woman and an amazing business owner!)

The 75JJ Fortuna fits closer to a 34H UK. Unfortunately, the 75JJ is not the right size for me for Fortuna; HOWEVER, I know from the measurements and other reviews that the Brilliant seems to run larger than most other KL bras. I’m hoping that the 75JJ Brilliant will fit just right! (I also have a 75K Fortuna on the way from Aurellie Fashion on Amazon, but it’s taking FOREVER to get here!)

Quality: like the other KL bra I’ve purchased, the quality is pretty great! The material is soft and forms to the body well. There are some stray threads that poke out in places, but other than that the quality is excellent!

Comfort: this is a very comfortable bra! It has enough depth at the wire for me (!!!) and overall fit well besides the gore. The gore floats, but it wasn’t uncomfortable (Side note: had anyone else ever noticed that the KL ads for the bras almost all have floating gores? Is that how they’re supposed to fit?). The wires are firm, but again, not uncomfortable. The material is soft mesh, not scratchy at all. The band is comfortably snug. Lastly, the wires don’t poke on the sides, although I think in this particular model in this size they are a little too narrow for my shape.

Appearance: like most (if not all) KL bras, this bra is absolutely beautiful! It’s classy, slightly sexy. The lace is to die for!

Overall, I think Kris Line is going to be my *best* fitting bra, if only for the fact that it’s deep enough and projected enough to not wrinkle and conform to my body correctly!!

I’ll give an update once my 75K KL Fortuna arrives. I’m really excited to see how it fits! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

YAY, narrow wires. Never have I experienced such perfection with a bra that has such depth in the cups. They sit exactly where they should!

The cups could be a liiiiittle bit deeper (yeah, I need extremely deep cups). At least my boobs aren't getting squashed too much. The difference between my different sized breasts is less noticeable than usual, though being over even slightly will result in quadboob with my right breast.

The centre gore tends to shift around during wear, but it's never too far from my sternum. The only brand I've tried in which the centre gore consistently lies flat on me is Panache, and their wires are too wide for me.

The shape is rather pointy, but in a nice, uplifted way.

Sadly, it's too big in the band (and apparently this model doesn't come in a 70K). Otherwise, near perfect (and quite sexy, really). Must try more Polish bras.

Krisline bras seem to be rather pricey, but the feel and quality of the materials is excellent.

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.
