AquaMarine it is good to hear from you again. Close to seamless is still good. I figure having four of the same large cup bras is a pretty high recommendation too! Do they hold up well with such a high, for a bra, cotton content? Out of curiosity, where did you find Kalyani bras in cup sizes up to KK?
Bratique Helene’s blog post of 4/22 covers the topic of t-shirt, or seamless, bras for the full busted. She concludes in saying that over a G cup size, you just have too much breast tissue for a seamless bra cup to properly support.
I wonder if this is why the Elomi bra you were so kind as to review for us seems to be no longer available in cup sizes up to K. I find some stores carry it in cup sizes up to H, and that is about it.
Maybe it is just accepted in the bra industry that H cup sizes in seamless is all they can support?
I will say the Kalyani bras hold up pretty well. I have a front loading washing machine and I wash them on the "handwash" setting. Then I hang them up to dry. I used to have 5 of those bras but one just recently had the wire pop out of it. That is the worst type of bra mishap as far as I'm concerned and it seems I can never save a bra once the wire has popped out.......
ReplyDeleteThe remaining 4 are holding up well as I mentioned and I've had them each for several months. I have about 10 bras in "rotation" and I'd say I wear 2 (if not all 4) Kalyani's during the week! They are my favorites. But I only wear them one time before I send them off to be washed. I sometimes exercise in these bras so they go through a lot!
I got all mine from Bravissimo. I probably get all my bras there. The dollar/pound exchange rate is pretty good right now. In fact, even cheaper than ordering them from some US sites! Plus they seem to offer a "prettier" selection of bras. And can you believe a KK?
That's a bummer about seamless bras and a J cup..... I'd LOVE just one seamless. The Elomi is good but still isn't exactly my correct size.
Hey, thanks for your tip a few posts back about the bra wire that poked your side. I have some of those bras and at around 3:00 I notice the wire starting to poke. Anyhow, I tried "tightening" the bra on the next set of hooks and it really does seem to solve the problem!
