This bra fit me fairly well. I felt secure in it. There is elastic along the top of the cup, making it more suitable for full-on the bottom. The gore is relatively narrow. There is good immediate cup projection as you would generally expect from a Polish bra. Fit seemed true to size. The shoulder straps are wide, suggesting it would be a good everyday bra. The lace detail is more attractive than I expected.
This bra did not work for me because it came too high in the armpits and pinched.
This was my first Nessa bra and I purchased it because it was on sale. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> So I didn't have any high hopes, having had an earlier disappointment with Avocado. I have the Flame/taupe colour version, which is rather striking irl (looks weird in pics). Imagine my joy when this bra turned out to be almost in par with Ewa Michalak! The fit is very consistent (I have 3 Nessa bras now), the band runs true to size and is quite tight. Nessa has this lovely, wide and soft strap material, which I absolutely love. Also, the straps are more to the ...center in the front as compared to EM S, Sm and Pl models. The overall cut is classic, more generic in appearance than EM bras, but the cups are comfortably shaped and the materials (mesh and lace in this case) soft and high quality. The cup sizing is gravitating towards small, so if you're on the upper limit of your known cup size, do size up for Nessa. The only minus I can think of with this bra (and its sister models "Soft", all sharing the same cut) is that it gives me a very slight but clear horizontal nipple peak line in profile as opposed to the clearly uplifted one you get with EM bras. As I prefer the perky profile, it's a significant minus. But as an everyday bra, under clothes, this is a great one. Read more 139 more words
My shape is more of a horizontal oval teardrop shape, wide roots, tall and shallow roots up top, close-set and inner fullness. My true size is 28F and I bought this bra 65E with some others from another Bratabase user.
First , this Nessa bra has beautiful lace on the front and all along the band. It is really pretty.
This push up bra does add uplift and gives great cleavage. My soft tissue and inner fullness spills in the middle a bit when I am PMSing and sitting down. It may be a bit small for me too as there is some underarm boob, but ...you can see it is a cup size small for me. I guess it fits true to size! The inside cup and material is soft with slight padding, more padding on the sides it seems. The top edge of the cup seems a little stretchy so it conforms to my shape. Because I need a bra that brings my boobs in and up, this bra is perfect for that purpose!
The only con I will say is that I wish it had some side boning. Having wide roots, I would prefer something where I feel more "held in". I also like to alter and sew in my bra bands so the lace band makes it more tough to do this but not impossible. Other than that it is very comfortable to wear, fits well and gives great shape! If this was made in a 28F, I would definitely buy it! I would definitely recommend it!
Small in the cups for me. Tried sizing up, but the 65F turned out too high and didn't solve the problem. I have a few Nessas in different colours, they all have the same cut and are consistent in size. The band is TTS, cups fit like 30DD. I think they named it push up because of the cookie pockets and inserts, not sure if this name really describes the bra construction well. Inside of cups cotton lined. A Polish brand giving a typical "polish" shape: front centre and lift, they only use single letters in their sizing. white colourway
The Nessa Lauren is soft to touch, it lifts a and brings the ladies front and centre. I need to readjust quite a bit while wearing, as my centre full soft breasts are trying to escape sometimes. I have minor quadding on my bigger side, but sizing up would mean too large cups and then the lifting effect would be totally lost. Wires narrow and wings average in this size, petite friendly. Fits like 30DD. Update: Outgrown this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
This is from my shopping trip to Poland! Feel free to send me a message if you want any more info on that. For reference, I believe that I had short, narrow roots with a very projected, omega shape. My best Cleo fit is the Meg then Marcie/Melissa.
This in my mind fits similarly to the Selena that I also listed, except in a gray color with fern-embroidery. Straps are soft and stretchy, so I feel like I have to adjust them farther than usual. Same slight east-west look, slight tear-drop shape, would be good as an everyday bra I think but not if you want a va-voom look.The 75 is just a smidge too loose for me on the first hook, and testing the tensity vs the Selena, this one is softer and stretches much more easily. If you like the firmness of Cleos, you might just want to do the 70 and extender for this one.
Great looking bra - does what a push-up needs to do. I need to readjust quite a bit while wearing, as my centre full soft breasts are trying to escape sometimes. Tried sizing up, but the 65F turned out too big overall and didn't solve the problem. I have a few Nessa push up bras - all have the same cut and are consistent in size. The Luna has a luxurious look and I got the marching briefs in size M (in UK sizing I take XS).

I love the colour and the lace, got matching briefs, too. The briefs have a different sizing from UK ones, one needs to order a size or two up.

Nessa is a tricky make for me. 65Es are a little too small, while 65F a little too big. The cups go too much to the sides on me and I almost fall out in the middle, even though the cups are a bit big. I like the pattern and lace combo. A pretty bra, just not a good fit for me. Mine didn't come with a bow that shows on the stock photo.
I like this bra. I am not the biggest fan of the print per say, but I really love the look of the black and green lace. There are two glaring issues that I have with this bra: first the bra's cups are not deep enough for me on my larger breast and the second issue is that the band is a little too snug (apparently I have lost my extender so I am unable to rectify that issue). I think that I am going to return this bra back to Brastop because the bra's band is just a tad bit too uncomfortable. To make this issue even worse the center gore does not tack on the side of my larger breast, and I think that it contributing to some of the back pain that I experience when I am wearing this bra. I do want to add that this bra is a hair too wide for me and that the cup's depth fit perfectly on my smaller breast.
Bra is ridiculously wide. The width of the cups is 7.4 inches. I don't know anyone in a 30G who that would not take up half of their torso, even a wide, shallow shape.
Convertible straps are nice, and it does have removable pads, fabric is nice. But those things are not nearly enough to compensate for the fact that it is absolutely insane to make cups a total of 15 inches wide on a torso that is only 30 inches around. Major design flaw. It makes me wonder if they are just using the same cups and attaching it to different bands, in which case, this might be feasible for a shallow lady on the larger end of the band spectrum, but is absolutely ridiculous for the small band large cup size range.
I like this bra. It's very comfortable, the underwire doesn't poke me like most of my UK bras do! The shape isn't the best but I think with wear it'll soften a bit. I feel very high and projected in this bra. It's low enough that I can wear low cut shirts and it not show and it's pretty.
I bought this bra when I heard that Polish bras were good for projection, and I saw it on sale on brastop.com. This wasn't a brand I had heard of before, so I knew I was taking a risk when I got it. Unfortunately, it doesn't have enough *immediate* projection for me, and there's the empty gap/puckering at the bottom. Swooping and scooping results in mild quadboob, which is VERY rare for me (FOB) and most likely a result of the extra space in the bottom, if that makes sense. I suspect this would be a great bra for someone projected but even (or just less FOB). That being said, it's a lovely bra and the fit issues aren't enough to keep me from wearing it! It has the little removable pads to correct asymmetry, which is nice (I tried folding them in half and using them to fill out the bottom a bit but it didn't work quite how I hoped).
I really want to like this bra, its very pretty and the material is nice and soft. It seems well constructed.
But the cups just don't fit me right at all, I feel this would be better for a FOT and I am quite FOB. The cups lay smooth at the top for me, but there is a bit of extra room in the bottom and outsides of the cup.
While the gore sits nicely and is a good height, the wires are uncomfortable against my ribs.
Alright, so, since I couldn't get the 30GG - Full-filled ยป Beau Plunge Bra (BEAU1) in a size that would fit me, this was the bra I exchanged it for. It was kind of a long shot, given as I'd never heard of the brand before, and I couldn't find anything about it on here, but it was the only thing I could find that was a similar price/size that would hopefully fit. Anyways, April Fools my bra arrives (before an order I'd placed earlier...maybe that was the joke...?) and I tried it on, and it fit~ SUCCESS!! The bra didn't quite look how I'd expected. ...In the online photos I'd perceived it to be more of a screened floral print, rather than embroidery, but it's a comfortable bra, and it actually fits pretty well, so, I'mma keep it. My main issue with it is that the sides of the cup, where the straps attach (yes, they ARE detachable~) tends to chafe against the outside of my armpits. Bratabase is showing it as 30H, but on BraStop it was listed as 30FF, the tag on the inside of the bra says 65H, though Read more 86 more words
Do you mind measuring the cup width please?
