Going strictly by the construction and the measurements, this should fit like a Lily or a Marcie.

Noooooooooope.

The elastic reinforcement at the top edge of the cup creates the quaddiest quadboob ever on my tall shallow roots. The minor top-cup wrinkle I get in the Lily becomes "saw your boobs in half" bad in this bra.

Which is really too bad, 'cause damn, is it beautiful.

The beige is maybe a little too yellowish to be completely flattering on me, but otherwise, the lace pattern and the detailing are gorgeous. I love the super-narrow gore and the removable/convertible straps. The straps *could* be longer, but they're nicely padded, so the tightness doesn't bother me much. (The tightness also might be caused, in part, by the too-short cups.)

So sad this didn't work out.

I purchased this bra from a Zulily sale and I had to do some guesswork with the size cause I couldn't find very much info. I ended up choosing this 70G, which is technically an index size smaller than what I usually wear (:8, FF UK). I was really surprised when I tried it on and the cup was far too large! It has mostly empty space at the top and a little wrinkling at the bottom, so i think it might fit someone who is a 32FF-ish with more taller roots than me (mine are extremely short). The band is definitely true to size tho, not small ... like other Polish brands--it stretches right to 32. I would love to try Samanta again in a cup size down, because this bra is so beautiful.

It has side boning and a side sling in the cups. The shape is spread a bit wider and shallower than other Polish bras, looks like it would give a rounded shape held closer to the chest. It seems like it is closed on top, with a strip of elastic sewn at the top of the cup (although I've seen someone remove that with a seam ripper before). It's a stiffer mesh that's definitely strong enough to give shape to soft breasts. The embroidery is absolutely beautiful, and the bra is a deep bordeaux type red. The straps are half adjustable because there is padding halfway up them. 2 hooks in the back, the wider spaced type, think Freya not Cleo. Very narrow gore--the wires come about as close as possible without overlapping. Cute little gold "S" insignia in the center. It comes in a cute little box, which is something I've seen Polish brands such as Gorsenia and Kris Line do and I really like that, it just makes it feel very special I guess.

Sadly I will have to sell it, but I will definitely be purchasing Samanta again, I can't wait to have a bra this pretty that fits me!

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.

This bra measures much shallower than I normally need but it's a very round shape so I think that's why it almost works. If I had one size up, it would probably work really. It is a bit tight in the band since I measure a 34. So I would need a 75G.
