    Lily Soft in 55R
    Lily is an unpadded full cup bra in a lavender-blue colored lace. While the material does have a decent about of give to it, the cups do not have any stretch lace or tulle on them. Think Ewa SM style bra but with a bit more flexibility. Within this review, there will be points that are a direct copy and paste from the other Nazeli bra reviewss, simply because I am lazy and the information is identical for the multiple bras. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

    The quality of the materials does appear exceptional, especially for the price, and it is very well made. ... I did experience an oddity with mine due to the size, as they chose to use a 55I label and a sharpie to make the “I” into an R, and I can only assume it’s due to them not having the 55R label on hand. Since I ordered 3 55R and 2 60P, I had this done on all 5 of my bras (the sharpie method) which did not work so well as it is smeared on half of the bras, and altogether just has a tacky look to it. I realize that “standard” sizes would not experience this, but the larger cup sizes will. If you are like me, you will be very bothered by this, so it is worth noting. As I like proper labels on my bras, this does bother me more than it really should, haha.

    For the measurements:

    All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

    The band measures 24” and stretches to a max of 30”. It has 3 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops. This bra is better suited as a 30 band and not the 26 band it is being sold as.

    Cup Depth as measured by:
    1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
    This measurement is: 15.25”
    2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
    This measurement is: 18.5”

    I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

    As for the remaining measurements, the cup width is 6.375”, height 10.5”, with a 5.5” wing and a gore of 4.125” tall and 0.88” wide.

    Now for the fit,
    We shall call this one the Dolly Parton bra, as I think she’s the only person that would have the measurements to actually fit this one. As I am sure you all can tell, there is no way my 16” breasts are going to fill the 18.5” round cup in any way, shape, or form. So yes, this one is 2-3 cups too large, if not more. This one by far was the largest of them all, and not really comparable to the other two soft full cup bras I ordered, making the brand unreliable in fit. I should be near or at high tide, so this is the fullest point of the month for me, so the fit would not improve without a massive amount of new growth.

    Aside from the insanely large cup, the gore is also too wide set, the wires too wide as well, with the wing being too tall, and the band be way too loose even on the tightest hook-set. I am swimming in the bra, or should I say that I am drowning in it? Seriously though, I feel that the scaling that Nazeli has for the larger cup ranges is grossly overestimated, and that like many companies, they did not get actual women within this range to test these bras, and instead made the cups based on misguided assumptions, making it a fail.

    The overall cup is far more spacious and rounded than my breasts could fill. To put it into perspective, I have done a photo side by side compare with my Ewa BM Antonina 60KK bra. In this comparison, it’s like looking at the Hulk vs Bruce Banner size wise. It is a 26:17 vs 28:16 comparison, so logically the cup volume should be nearly identical. The compare photos can be found at the bottom of the page here:

    Consolidated disclaimer for all my Nazeli reviews: While each Band cup combo can experience different scaling, unfortunately in my range their scaling is obscenely wonky. My bust is 42” (106.75cm) and I ordered 55R and 60P (26:17 & 28:16) which would be my normal index range size. Nazeli size chart puts the cms for 55R=104-106 and 60P=107-109. In Ewa I wear 60KK-L which is labeled as 109-111.5cm and in Comexim I wear 60Q=104-106.

      This colour and eyelash lace are gorgeous. It's devastating that it is such a poor fit.

    • It really is a beautiful bra and the quality is quite nice. If someone could perfect the sizing, it would be a wonderful bra for sure. :-)

    Didn't fit

    I received this bra from Mamapagan and this is my review of it.

    The wires wrap all the way around to my back. The band is not a true 26. I'd say it's closer to a 30. I have it hooked on the tightest hooks and I felt the bra riding up. The wing, again, is painful. It's so high! The cups have too much material again. I'd say I'm 2-3 cups too small for it as well.

      Sorry it was a poor fit for you as well. :-(
      Thank you for adding to the database though. Hopefully the information will be helpful for future members. 💙

      This bra may have "fit" me when I was at my largest, probably around a 30M or thereabouts. I was busting out of my 75KK FB but didn't really want to do anything about it. I had a nearly 50cm bust perimeter per Bratabase then, and I could have filled a 47cm cup depth. The scaling is all kinds of wonky though, which is such as shame as it's a really lovely bra to look at.

      Wow! That's cool. I used to be able to fit a 75L/75LL when I was at the height of my breastfeeding days haha, so I know what you're saying. The scaling is weird which is such a shame because it is QUITE beautiful!
