I ordered this one from LaBella Intimates, which is based in Florida and owned by a wonderful Latvian* woman named Santa! She’s been very flexible and understanding when I’ve returned bras that didn’t fit right, which eventually landed me on this one. Her prices are a little higher than other UK or Polish sellers, but honestly I didn’t mind at all. Her customer service is A+++ so that made it worth it.
The bra fits great! I almost feel like it fits even better than my other 75K - Kris Line » Fortuna Biustonosz Soft (6414) because the band stretches more and the cups seem a ...little roomier (even though black is notorious for being snugger/smaller!)
It’s the same great quality and appearance of my other Fortuna bra except in black, which I tend to prefer. Only complaint on quality is that this one was recently manufactured and it had a lot of strings and fuzzies still sticking out on it when it came. The fuzzies were easy to remove and I’ll have to carefully clip the loose strings later on.
Seems comfortable at first (short) wear, but will need some slight adjustments. I’m sure the side boning will end up bothering me so I have a feeling those will be removed to add more comfort. The wires don’t bother me and neither does the gore.
As for the overall fit on me, the cups are nice and deep and I fill them nicely. My left boob quads a bit, so I will probably end up removing the elastic along the top so the cups are less closed like I did on my beige Fortuna. The gore does not completely tack; it’s maybe a pinky away. I’m hopeful that if I remove the elastic, it’ll give a tiny bit more space in the cups and the gore might actually tack. (It seemed to work for my beige one.)
I’m happy with this bra and excited to be adding it into my rotation! I’m a total Polish bra convert and looooving it.
UPDATE 1: Side boning was removed. Ended up not needing to remove the elastic on top of the cups because it’s a thinner elastic than the beige Fortuna had (the elastic on this one is similar or the same as my Scheherazade bra). Gore tacks better once things settle. Great bra! My only complaint now is that it creaks like crazy. 🥴 Hopefully it’ll stop once the bra gets washed and worn a bit more.
UPDATE 2: (3/23/21) The band is now 76cm resting and 89.5cm stretched. Kris Line bands seem to stretch a lot over time, but that’s the benefit of having 4 sets of hooks, I guess! Read more 340 more words
This bra was completely an impulse buy from eBay, but I’m so glad I bought it! I just happened to be browsing for Kris Line bras on eBay literally 3 days ago and lo and behold, this seller was selling this bra which was the exact size I wear for Kris Line. It was a match made in heaven!
First, disclosure: I’m not entirely sure that this is actually the Margaret Soft model, but it was the closest I could find that looked similar to this bra. The seller did not know or remember the model, so I had to do some research.
The bra fits great! Like I ...said, I’m so pleased with this one. The color is amazing and it’s nothing like any other colors I’ve worn before; it’s like a turquoise, light baby blue or even a mint blue color. It’s soft and very comfortable to wear. The cups are a decent size, and actually have a little more room, so I think it’ll be a good bra to wear when it’s “that time”.
If I were to compare this bra to the many other Kris Line bras that I own, I would say the fit is closest to the 75K - Kris Line » Scheherazade Soft (L1105). The cups/“bowls” (as they are sometimes referred as) are deep and large. As you can see in the pictures, there is a lot of room for projection at the wire, even so much that the cup dips downward instead of immediately sloping upward, which is a great win for my shape!
The quality is great, as many of my other Kris Line bras are.
There are only 2 things that I would consider issues/cons: the wires might be just a tad narrow and the side boning is annoying. I typically remove the side boning from all of my bras, so the same is probably the case for this one, too.
I love this bra and can’t wait for it to become a part of my usual rotation! Read more 231 more words
It’s great how much luck you’ve had with Kris Line! I’m really tempted to give them a go because we have similar-ish shapes (even and center full, projected).
I’ll get straight to the point: I really like the Kris Line Fortuna. It’s pretty, delicate, and comfortable!
The gore tacks on this one, unlike the 75JJ - Kris Line » Fortuna Biustonosz Soft (6414) . Weirdly enough, though, I get slight quad boob on the 75K, but didn’t on the 75JJ? I might alter the top of the cups and remove the elastic because I *think* that would solve the problem.
Oh, and the STRAPS. These aren’t those little spaghetti noodle straps of your preteen days. These are some THICC BOI straps! Definitely the widest straps I’ve ever seen or worn.
Anyhow, I’m keeping this one. I think it might fit better in about a week because I’m kinda measuring bigger right now (gotta love periods, am I right?)
Coffee colorway
This bra's measurements have been altered
Removed side boning. Also removed elastic on the tops of the cups. Adjusted the wires so they are aimed back more instead of more vertical like in my pictures.
Obviously this is too big for me, too tall probably too and the band is very big/stretchy on this bra. The size of this bra is at least 1-2 cup size bigger than my Kris Line Mirabella in 75K. They are 2 very different bras. Which is a shame, that there is such a big difference within the same brand.
But it's very comfortable! It's very soft all around, the wires seem on the softer side. Even though it's mesh fabric it's very soft. I love the wide straps, and the short, very narrow gore. I don't care too much for the look of this bra, I try to ...avoid these boring looking bras but it was all they had. And for what it's worth, I bought this on Brastop and I can now confirm that if it's listed as 34K on their site, it means you'll get a 34K in Kris Line sizing! Not in UK sizing.
I don't get as much lift in this one as my other Kris Line, but I think it's because this one is too big. I'm not sure a 75JJ would be enough tbh. Maybe even a 75J could work in this, or it's just not the best for my shape and stuff. I suppose I could exchange it for a 32JJ but I'm okay with the comfortable fit of this so I'll just keep this. At least it's not crazy big https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 136 more words
Wow so that Brillant does fit the same on you as me red did in 34KK... too tall, too large. I also found the straps too wide set. I tried to take in the band to get more support but it didn't work. I don't know what shape this is constructed for? I
Since I got my Brilliant on reddit I could give it longer trials as I cannot return it anaway - I got neck pain after 1 hour and straps dug into my arm pics because they were too wide set and there wasn't enough support from the band and wires. I would if I were you I'd go for other styles or exchange it for another size.
Yeah no idea who this is made for, such a weird one..
I actually wore it today all day, I still felt very comfortable in it at the end of the day. They didn't feel too wide for me actually but I think for you it could have been because you also got it in a 75 band which must have been really big on you!
Because it only cost me £25, I'm fine keeping it even though it's not perfect because it feels faaar better than my Panache bras, so I'm happy about that.
Next up I think Alana and Arla from bravissimo. Hopefully Brastop will get more Nessa and Kris line in 34JJ's then I'll give those a try too. (I know there is one nessa right now available but I like to order at least 2 bras each time I make an order so shipping feels more reasonable priced hehe. )
Besides the minor gore float issue, this baby fits like a glove. I might consider sizing up in other KL bras in the future, but I don’t think this one is so small that it’s worth sending back. Maybe this will be some incentive to lose a little weight lol!
UPDATE #2: Although I’m still debating, I feel like after wearing it for a little while longer the 2nd night, I might keep it. I’m able to bounce and move and twist and it stays put. The wires are nice and firm in my IMF and the cups feel like they’re ...enclosing my boobs in a little boob-hug. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Hopefully it isn’t a horrible fit the second after the tags come off, lol! (Maybe the tags are the magic to finding ABTF- and once they come off it’s like the magic goes away...just kidding! 🤪)
UPDATE #1: I’m still on the fence about this one. The wires seems to be the absolute narrowest I can handle. I wore it around the house for about an hour and it wasn’t uncomfortable (except for the embroidery on the top of the cups getting a little itchy), and it seemed like the bra “settled” better where the gore was pretty much almost tacking. The square shape is still there, but I’m wondering if after a few washes if the seams would relax and make it less boxy. In terms of support, honestly I think this is the most supportive band I’ve ever had, and the cups may not be quite deep enough but it feels like a boob hug. I reached out to Magda about doing a return, but I don’t know, I might not want to let go of it after all. I’m just afraid once I take the tags off that it won’t fit anymore lol.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: It. Doesn’t. Fit! 😭
I’m so disappointed. I was looking forward to this bra so much, and it’s discontinued so finding other sizes are really difficult.
Overall, to the untrained eye it looks like a decent fit; however, I believe the wires are too narrow, the cups aren’t deep enough, and the gore doesn’t tack (as a result of the cup depth). Weirdly enough, there aren’t really wrinkles from the projection, maybe just a little bit not horrible.
The quality is great, it’s not itchy or uncomfortable. The fabric is beautiful. The green color is so nice, and I’ve been really wanting a green bra for some time now. The band is so silky and smooth!
Comfort-wise, the narrow wires didn’t bother me, but I did notice they left marks on tissue which of course is a huge no-no. Also, the gore didn’t tack and seemed to favor the larger side, so it rested there and rubbed.
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever been so bummed about a bra! I’ve been eyeing this one and I couldn’t wait for it to come, but I think it’s a fail. 😞 I’m going to attempt to exchange it if I can, but I can’t find a 34KK anywhere, next best option is a 36K, but my biggest fear is that the wires will still be too narrow and a shape mismatch. Read more 436 more words
aww noo! It looks so pretty but the shape is so .. square. How strange.
I think it's a shape mismatch for you this one. Hope the next is better :D
alidieux I noticed that too! Is like it has immediate projection, but it goes way out and then a harsh angle up.
I think the weird puckering is caused by the embroidery? Idk it just looks so weird. I’m really bummed out. I’m hoping I can do a return or exchange, so I may try the 36K just to see but if that doesn’t work I’ll probably give up on this one. Sucks! It’s so pretty.
alidieux sorry to bug you again lol. I took other pictures today and the side view is much rounder of a profile than the one I took yesterday. The only spot that looks weird is where my nipple is because it was cold when I took the picture. 😂 Anyway, I’m still debating. I’m giving it another sitting-around-the-house wear just to see how the marks look from the wires and see how bad it moves from it’s placement (or doesn’t, would be okay too!)
I’m not sure if much more depth is needed or not. I can’t tell if I’m just trying to cling to anything I can to keep it lol. It has such a good lift and it’s just so pretty!
Which ones did you take today (if u uploaded them)? The ones where you have a shirt over , the shape looks great :P
You sound like me with the Bravissimo Jenna. Ultimately I am returning it, because the cons outweighted the pros, so maybe you should keep a little list of the pros and cons and see which way you sway.
I kinda do a little dance where I move and twist my body around for a minute or so to see how the bra moves with my body, and jiggle around to kinda simulate how the bra might end up after a day at work etc..
I hope you do find it comfortable since you are in love with the bra! I know the feeling :D
I just added them, they’re the ones with the shirt pulled up so you can see the bra!
Honestly, it survives the bounce-them-up-and-down jiggle test lol! I’m also an activities director for seniors so I practiced some of our exercise moves and it seems to stay put. I guess the main thing will be where the wires sit, and it’s a lot easier to see that when the bra is off. Best description of how it feels is it feels like a boob hug, it’s a gentle little squeeze but not tight or uncomfortable, if that makes sense!
Fingers crossed! It does look great, so let's hope if you take the tags off, wear it for a day, it's still comfortable :P
I suppose you could really squeeze it into your body right now while you test wear it to see where the marks hit.
Im too sleepy, to see if that creates marks from the wire so you can see where it hits.. is what I meant.. I think. did that even make more sense? idk. it's 6 am I should go to bed before I speak more gibberish :P
I knew what you meant! :) Thanks for your thoughts and hope you have a good sleep!
First off this bra looks amazing. I feel like a princess wearing it. It's a beautiful blush pink with a ton of different embroidery. The cup is mesh and the sides are soft satin.
The band is quite stretchy but feels like a true 34. It has the most narrow gore I've encountered so far which is great for me. It has a decent height, not too high like Panache is. Certainly not a low gore but it's fine so far. It doesn't stab me (yet).
The shape it gives me is a lovely rounded forward shape. It's not as uplifting as a lot of other mainstream bras ...but I think it's because it has quite a lot of room in the bottom of the cup? I don't get any wrinkles in the bottom of this cup so I think that means it has a lot of immediate projection? I could still use a liittle more projection overall because I'm very picky but it's pretty damn good. But I'm so scared to keep this bra and then in 2 weeks have it be too small lol.
The side boning is a little uncomfortable. I'm not a huge fan of mesh/tulle fabric without any soft lining on the inside, I find it a bit scratchy and irritating. The straps are also quite wide set and might slide down but they are very adjustable so I can make it into a racerback if I wanted.
Overall I'm pleasantly impressed and I'm eager to try more Kris Line. I think I would try in 75KK if I could but sadly most of them end at a K on Brastop and Lace Lingerie. Read more 170 more words
The bra looks good, I think you shouldn't size up though. Remember what I said about KL sizing, that a K in their sizes equals about a H/HH?The cup depth measurement of this bra confirm it. See on the bras page to what models it compares to. https://www.bratabase.com/browse/kris-line/mirabella-l1102/75K/
I think it's not comparabe to UK K cup bras like Tango. That one should at least have a cup depth of 38+cm! Also I just got 75KK Kris Line in and it's too big on me! :O
alisa I'm so used to not having bras that fit that I've forgot how they are supposed to fit. I also think I shouldn't size up, but my brain is like playing tricks on me.
When I saw the models it compares to I was like, ehh did I measure this bra wrong?? But obviously Curvy Kate etc are super wide right so the measurements gets wonky when comparing? Like I've tried Curvy Kate Ellace in 34JJ and it was too wide and shallow for me, so it's very confusing. But either way I'm pretty happy with this bra :D
This one looks like a great fit on you. I'm sure once you make the small adjustments it'll be even better. Nice find.
