Straps set a bit wide for me. I fill the cups at the bottom but at the top there is space like the cup needs to be reduced. Gore doesn't quite tack and I can't figure out why. Band could be smaller, I'm already on second to last hook.

In theory I agree, but I fill the rest of the cup/the gore doesn’t sit flat which leads me to believe it doesn’t have enough immediate projection so a smaller size wouldn’t fix that. By current measurements I’m a 28J/30HH, obviously a 32J is too big, but I know Ewa bands run small so I sized up but should have stuck with a 65. I would expect the gore to tack/more space in other areas if it was just a size issue.
The S does not have a lot of space in the center or at the wire. It’s supposed to function like a push-up bra. If your tissue is not soft enough it won’t have the desired effect. Also, the S cut is extremely tall. It is not a good cut for short boobs in the the higher cup sizes. It could just be too big or too tall. Have you tried any other Ewa cuts?
This is my first Ewa, as she only makes one option in a nursing clip. I'm going to explore the CHP and the PL. I'll probably just stick to 65M/N in Comexim 3HC with the nursing clip alteration, I have some in the mail to me now (fingers crossed) I was just hoping to be able to do a bra off the shelf sans alterations for once. :p
I have very soft tissue and in Comexim use an overlapping gore. I should have researched the Ewa S cut more before going for this bra. :)
Good luck! 😀
Only tried this bra to check my size but clearly this one is super wonky haha.
First, the band is very tight.
Second, the cups are insanely tall and broad. Who could fill this bra out? I can fit two of my boobs into one cup it's so tall! I've never seen anything like this before it's so funny haha. So I can't really comment on fit or anything else.
This bra is not owned any more

The bra is much too big in cups for you and the bra runs tight for a 75 band, it only stretches to around 32inch = 70 band.
It appears I'm the first person to add one of these to Bratabase! I got it in Ewa's Black Friday sale. I'm always in the market for a nice nursing bra as it seems I will be breastfeeding until the end of time, and I didn't have a black one yet, so here we are.
MY SHAPE: Narrow, projected, short roots, close set, center full, even fullness (technically FOT but my short roots make me appear even most of the time)
FIT: Sigh. Some of Ewa's S bras fit me like a glove, and some have cups that are just a smidge too tall and gape. This one falls into ... the latter category, unfortunately. (Other bras in that category are my 75GG - Ewa Michalak » S Syrena (790) and 75GG - Ewa Michalak » S Glamour (813) , but they're so pretty I can't hold it against them too much.) I don't know the correct terminology for the different pieces of the cup, but they all seem to have one element in common, which is that the horizontal cup edge piece has that ribbon over the seam and lace overlay. I don't know if Ewa actually uses a different pattern for these bras that makes the cup taller, or if it's something about adding that ribbon/lace, but my 75GG - Ewa Michalak » S Diament (582) , 75GG - Ewa Michalak » S Orzechowa Pralinka (711) , and 75GG - Ewa Michalak » S Summer Time don't have this issue. I had actually noticed this issue previously and vowed to stay away from S bras with that design, but since this one is all black I didn't realize it was made that way until it arrived. In addition to the too-tall cups, the straps are typically wide... this normally doesn't bother me, but the addition of nursing clips makes them dig in uncomfortably right at my armpits. I think without the clips, this wouldn't be an issue. Also, as I mentioned in my review of another Ewa nursing bra (75GG - Ewa Michalak » Km-pl Karmnik Biszkopty (278) ), there are no cookie pockets on the inside of the cups, which is a truly baffling design decision since cookie pockets are standard on S bras and even more important on a NURSING bra. When I wear this bra I place a cookie in one side, but there's nothing to hold it in place when I open/close the cup, which is annoying. That bit annoyed me so much with the Biszkopty I sent it back, but since this one was a Black Friday sale it's not really worth it.
These grievances aside, the fit is right in line with my other Ewa bras. Band feels good, cups give a great shape, and despite my complaints it's definitely wearable for the times I want a black nursing bra.
APPEARANCE/QUALITY: I haven't taken photos of this one yet but I can already tell you that it'll be a tough one to photograph. It's a black bra with black lace and ribbon trim. I thought the cups were smooth, but it does have allover floral lace similar to the Syrena bra. The lace doesn't show through tight shirts, and unlike my Syrena and Glamour bras the lace seems pretty stable and doesn't flip down at the slightest provocation. It does feel a bit stiff, but I'm not sure if that's something to do with the materials, the fact that it's black, I really don't know. It just doesn't feel as squishy as, say, Glamour.
OVERALL: It's functional, and it does a job... I might return it if that were an option, but for the time being I'll keep it since it really is hard to find a decent nursing bra for my size/shape.
UPDATE: If you read all this, thanks! I took this bra to the local seamstress and had the straps moved in about an inch. This miraculously fixed both the slight gaping/tall cups issue AND the nursing clips stabbing my shoulder area. I've worn this all weekend since picking it up Friday and I think it might be my best fitting S bra at the moment! The alteration changed the overall shape just a tiny bit, but it works better for me this way. I'm considering altering my Syrena bra now too!

Any chance you're interested in selling it? ;)
nceveritt It's actually at the seamstress right now getting the straps moved in a little, since I think that will fix my issues... but if it doesn't fix it for me, I'll tag you first thing!
Just let me know!
The alteration actually works REALLY well for me, so I won't be selling. Sorry!

So, most of your bras are a GG. J is 3 cup sizes up. I think its just too big.
