This bra is considerably bigger in cup volume and slightly bigger in band than the non-padded Nessa bras are. Its wires also come higher up under the arms. It's very well made and sturdy, but in my opinion it seems to add a bit of bulk to my boobs, so I avoid using it under thin shirts. It's very comfortable on, however. The fabric is really soft and the colour is great. A good everyday bra, gives an understated, neutrally round profile.
can you compare the size of this bra to any British bra yo may be wearing. I am trying to figure my size in Polish brands
Hi nadiya! The cup volume in Bella is exactly as in the Freya Strawberry Fields bra in 32HH, the band maybe slightly looser. Also it's almost similar to Curvy Kate Smoothie in 30J, also with the band being stretchier. The Smoothie also has considerably wider wires. The non-padded Nessas have a firmer band, so keep this in mind when considering your band size.
thank you so much for your answer. I was hopping Nessa will work for me, but will probably not. I Am 30K in Panache Jasmine, that I find has fuller cup than Freya or Curvy Cate (only few I tryed). I was 30HH 28J in Cleo before second pregnancy (freya was smaller). That means that even if size up to 70N in Nessa, cup will still be too small. Oh thank you again
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
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.
