Fantastic pushup-without-padding style, nice rounded shape
The Bellissima is probably my favorite lightly-lined underwire bra style ever. It's comfortable, and doesn't have push-up padding in the cups, but something about the way the cups are shaped causes a nice, gentle push-up effect nonetheless. It looks great with low-cut tops, but also has an attractive shape under fitted tops that aren't low-cut. I do find that the band sizing runs differently depending on what fabric it's made of; in this stretch silk style (which I own at least one of in every color), I wear a 34C, but in the cotton and microfiber fabrics, I need a 36B (the next "sister size" up). My only real criticism for this style is that the straps could stand to be longer - I have to adjust mine to their absolute longest point, and even then I would like a little more length (and I am not tall, just 5'5"), but that seems to be the norm for most Intimissimi bras. I would LOVE to see the silk Bellissima and Tiziana made with a silk lining inside the cup, since half the reason I buy silk lingerie is because silk is good for my sensitive skin. And I would love to see all of Intimissimi's silk bras and panties in more colors! Especially the current seasonal colors, Blue Spray and Spiced Pink! Read more
