This is a very pretty bra, soft cotton lining. Straps are wide and can be configured.

Gore doesn't tack. I think this is just a shape mis-match for me. Need more projection at the gore. This seems like it would fit someone with a more shallow breast.

Lace will also show through light blouses.

Me: short & narrow roots, center full, close set, pendulous, petite, short waisted, low set, fairly even fullness, narrow shoulders, soft

definitely gives cleavage, but doesn't quite fit. Lace shows through light weight clothing.

I was able to try this shop in a local store in the region where I spend my holidays. My breasts are FOB, rather high set and neither wide nor narrow I guess.
The bra was very comfortable to wear and very well made. This style is a llightly padded halfcup from the "big breast" range of Samanta. It has some more depth than the average halfcup but its shape was still slightly minimizing for me. Given the fact that I really dislike the pricing of this brand (more expensive if you buy in € than in zloty...) and the standard color I didn't bought this bra even if it is a technical fit. I might try further Samanta bras but I will try to find less covering styles which I prefer.

This is a beautiful light blue bra from Polish lingerie company Samanta. It has three-part sheer mesh cups with embroidery and a mesh side-sling. The band material is very smooth and soft. The straps are narrow with a ribbon overlay on the front, and can be removed to wear the bra with cross-back straps.

Fit-wise the cups are deep with plenty of apex projection and room for upper fullness. The wires are medium-wide in width. Though the size is marked as a European 65G, which should be equivalent to a UK 30F, the bra fits small in the band and large in the cup, so the size is more like a UK 28G.

This is probably one of the most elegant and beautiful bras I've ever gotten my hands on. Thank you alexad!
The straps are decorated with a satin ribbon and glass crystals with like flanges around them. I feel like this is a very unique design that I've never seen with other bras before. The cups are embroidered with beautiful flowers and the gore has the same matching ribbon with the Samanta logo.
Support wise, this bra was intended for smaller breasts and is therefore not very supportive. It has a thin piece of fabric connecting the cups, and the straps and band ... are very thin.
The band is true to size for a "30" but is big for a "Polish 65" when compared to Comexim and Ewa Michalak.
The cups have a lot of push up padding, which unfortunately makes them fit a little small. The padding is hard, not like the push up bras from Victoria's Secret. The cups are also closed on top, making them fit fuller on bottom shapes better. You can see from my photos that it cuts in from being a little too closed and small especially on the larger breast.

The cleavage is pretty awesome though, so..it's a keeper lol

This bra is amazingly good looking!! I'm too sad it doesn't suit me. It is the right size, but the cut is not flattering on me.

I ordered a A142 from Zulily but received a A122...

I bought this bra in a sister size from a more appropriate band size (65J), and it fits very well. This is the first bra I've tried since I hit 30H where right out of the box, nothing is trying to stab or chafe me to death. Samanta's scaling mentality suits my frame, narrow roots, and projection nicely. I wear a 30H bra in UK sizes, but the scaling for bras with that band-cup ratio from British retailers is often awful for my frame and projection.

This bra is full-coverage. It's also half-padded, which means that the lower 2 sections of the 3-part cup have padding, while the ... uppermost section is unlined. Lined bras don't usually suit my tastes, but the padding of these cups feels very nice. It is a very light foam with a delightfully comfortable outer fabric lining. It's not thick lining, either: it's a little thicker than the padding of a Freya bra, but is not thick enough to add bulkiness to the bra. Also, this bra is a miracle for projected people who want a padded bra. The lined cup section is somehow deep enough at the wire that there's no crumpling of the padding at the bottom of the cups.

I am full-on-bottom, and there is a small amount of wrinkling in the cup's upper section, even though the top edge of the cup lies flat on me. (This went away entirely once I tightened the bra's straps.) This might mean that the bra is well-suited for even boobs, or those with tall roots. The shape the bra gives is very round, but the seam between the lined and unlined sections introduces a rounded corner. This gives the bra's roundness a little more of a natural look.

The fabric on the outside of the bra's cups is pretty roughly textured. I like textured fabric in general, and I think it adds a lot of intrigue to this bra. Luckily, this rough fabric is never touching the skin of the wearer. The padding serves that purpose in the lined area of the bra, and the upper cup section has a softer lace layer between the skin and the textured fabric that is totally invisible unless you're looking for it.
The band seems like a true 32/70 to me. It fits me on the tightest hooks, and is made mostly of a really soft, sleek microfiber. It's totally unnoticeable on my back. It has flexible boning, which I removed.

The straps are only half-adjustable, and are stretchy in their adjustable section, so if you're short and don't know how to hand stitch, watch out. The straps were definitely workable on me at 5'3", but the bra fits more securely now that I've made an adjustment to how short the straps can get. The straps are pretty well-textured too, so there is no danger of your setting slipping while you wear the bra.

This bra is just super-well made. The detailing is classy and doesn't feel overdone. The difficulty I had in ripping the necessary stitches to shorten the straps really won me over on this brand. Some details on this bra that are hard to see in stock photos are: a silky overlay on the wires on the front, the fact that the band immediately next to the cup has a section with the same lace of the upper cup, and just how cool this embroidery is. I don't think I've ever liked bra embroidery with flowers this much.

Seriously beautiful bra with some of the most exquisite embroidery I've ever seen. Nice narrow, deep cups, stellar immediate projection, and a lovely side-sling feature which centers tissue nicely. Straps are thick and plush on the inside; overall this bra feels incredibly secure and supportive. The construction and quality is wonderful. Unfortunately, it is just too big for me, leading to wrinkling on my smaller side. I think in a size down this bra would be wonderful!

Very lovely bra! I really like that it's a multiway. I don't often find multiway unlined bras. Unfortunately I think I could've went with a cup size down. Since I've been losing weight, I've lost some volume https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />.

Like my other Samanta bra, this is beautiful and comfortable. It's lined in a soft fabric and embroidered on the outside. It has half-adjustable (and completely removable) straps that I have to let all the way out but are fine once I do.

Unlike the other Samanta bra, this fits perfectly. It's a low plunge with a low enough gore for my lowest-cut dress (which I didn't have a bra for until now!) and it gives me fantastic cleavage. I don't normally get cleavage - I normally fall out the middle of my bra. But not here!

There are cookie pockets and included cookies. I expected them to make the cups too small, because the bra is so low-cut and cleavagey already, but somehow the cookies just make it magically cleavageier without causing problems. I do not understand but I am happy.

I'm right between a 70e and 70f in european sizing usually, and this 70e is a tiny bit too small in the cups. Band feels just right. It's comfortable, except that the straps are a smidge too wide for me. They are only partly adjustable, and I have them as long as they go, which is fine, but if you're tall beware. They are completely removeable and replaceable.

Embroidered on the outside, lined on the inside with a soft comfy material. Has cookie pockets, and came with cookies, but 1) they're oddly small and a different shape than I would expect, and 2) the cups are too small already.

The embroidery and the color are beautiful -- I can't get a picture to do it justice.

Nice bra, but I think I'm listing it.

I purchased this off of Zulily. It is one of the most wonderful bras I have ever purchased. The cups fit nicely and the band is comfortable on the loosest setting. I particularly like the way the sides are designed to prevent any unattractive spill over. The bra is also beautiful. I purchased 2 more from Zulily the next time they had a sale.

This bra has been altered to have a more open cup edge. This causes it to fit like a small 32GG or a roomy 32G.

Without the alteration it would fit a short-rooted and projected 32G.

The band is stretchy but I bought the bra used so that could be a cause. Otherwise comfortable but there's multiple layers of fabric sewn onto the elastic at the bottom of the cup and that makes the elastic want to turn inwards. Not good for slouching.

The band and strap material is a greyish taupe, matching sliders and rings. The straps are narrow, elegantly decorated, and padded in the front. The cup is one layer of emroidered lace fabric. The center gore features the same material as the cups but is reinforced with a stretch mesh. The center gore is designed to have a decorative detail with the embroidery going below the center gore area. The center gore is also decorated with a grey bow with a false pearl detail.

Beautiful polish bra. Unfortunately, it's too big. The band is also stretchy so I would say it would fit a loose 32g /34ff

Oh, how I wish this shape worked for me. The size seems right, and while it's a bit wide and shallow, the real issues are a closed top cup and absolutely NO depth at the gore. This is really different from the A122 Kerk tried, which had plenty of gore depth. This thing is just a hot mess on me.

Which is a shame, because like other Samantas, the quality and detail is stunning. Beautiful lace, great stitching, and thoughtful little touches--like glitter between the two layers of the band! So pretty but totally unwearable for me.

I really really wanted this to fit. I've worn it three times though on the tightest hook and it just doesn't provide the support I need in the band. I like that it is a different shape than most of the other bras in my size. It seems like it would be really nice under flowy shirts. The embroidery doesn't lay flat but I would still keep the bra if it fit better. Its comfortable and quite open on the top so it would like work well for fot. I get a bit of gaping but its not noticeable under clothing. ... This is the kind of shape I am drawn to, that often doesn't come in larger cups. I bought this bra using the EU Samanta site and followed the fit suggestions for European sizing. I suggest others do the same. I wouldn't have had good luck with trying UK or US sizing. This was larger than I expected for a 70 (32) band based on online reviews and the site calculator but this band fit me just like Chantelle 32s and others so I wasn't too surprised either. I feel like with the shape the cup could run up to a half size larger but I don't think a whole size. Though if I reordered I would order a band down and the same cup, i.e. 65E.

P.s. After paying more attention to the measurements and pictures I think maybe the cup only looks big because it's not providing lift with the band being much too large for me. I want to try this style again but haven't and I'd probably try 65F now instead of the 65E I thought I might before. Maybe even 65G. The depth on this cup is less than I typically need.
