This bra is great, it was my favourite for a long time. 36J fitted me when I was a 32K-KK. The band on the Bellise does run at least 1 - 1 and a half sizes smaller! The cups are generous. So a 36J fits more like a 34JJ or a 32K on the tightest setting.
pros:
- strong Panache wires, that are less wide than Elomi wires
- tight bands (a plus for those at the upper end of the cup - range)
- the fabric is so heavenly comfortable and soft
- sturdy and good support
- I have barely any underwire pain
- round uplifted shape
- quite front and centered shape
- ... wires are a very good width for me (I need medium wide wires - EM is usually too narrow, Elomi too wide)
cons:
- why is this bra discountined?
- why does it not come in all the colours up to a KK cup?
- shallow cups
Now the shallowness of the cups is the only real problem here. But it also makes the bra very supportive because it keeps boobs close to chest. Since I have rather deep boobs, I only can wear this bra on "smaller days" when I can stand some shallower cups. I still think it has good projection from the underwire, I don't have as much empty space there than in a Elomi Caitlyn.
If you wonder about some of my pics showing that the bra is a bit big... there was a time when I was a 30K/ 32JJ - the bra was too big in the band and cups then. Just if anyone wonders why pics show the bra being too big. I owned this bra for about 2 and a half year now. It's still in good condition despite many wears! Great Quality I say!
