Rosme is a Latvian lingerie brand which is available up to a European H, for band sizes 70 – 105. Given the limits of the range, I wasn’t sure I would be able to wear it, but I decided to try the 80H, which I thought just might fit me as I often wear a 36G.
It took me some time to find the styles I was interested in, because most of them are available in a smaller number of sizes. It doesn’t appear to be possible to order directly from the Rosme website, and when I turned to the internet I couldn’t find anything ... I had chosen. In the end I ordered two versions of the Sonora line from an eBay seller: the padded plunge and an unpadded halfcup. This one is the padded plunge.
I suppose it would be good news for some to learn that the brand seems to run true to size, but of course that means that I'm sized out. The 80H fits like a Panache 36 in the band. The cup felt like a FF. The gore wasn't quite flat, but because it was so low I could fool myself for a moment into thinking it was tacking...until I pushed it in with my finger and got quadboob.
The cups seemed less shallow than those of the unpadded Sonora and overall it was a much better fit for me until I bent slightly and my breasts poured out the bottom and the top gaped.
I liked the look of this one more than the unpadded Sonora, as the brown lace makes it slightly more exciting and the color is also more vibrant. However, it still looks like a department store bra, which is probably why it only cost about $17 USD. I like the print, but in photos the fabric looked more like satin.
One thing that I really liked about this bra was the way they had done the gore. It is a very low gore to begin with, but the wires only go up a short distance and then the remainder of the gore is fabric only. This allows it to get very narrow toward the top, something that I could see being an advantage for close-set breasts. It's hard for me to tell how well it works in practice, however, since it was clearly too small for me.
