Another great EM bra! I love the way it looks and it's comfy too. The band is nice and snug and the straps feel good and are easy to adjust. I just wish the straps were closer together so they wouldn't bug my armpits. I think this bra might run a smidge small since my larger side is quadding very slightly with the cookie removed. The fit on my smaller side is perfect with the cookie in. I got this at Custom Curves in Dartmouth, N.S. It is wonderful to have a local shop that provides Comexim and Ewa Michalak bras in small band sizes.
It looks beautiful on you! It IS nice that you have a local shop that supplies EM/Comexim bras! Lucky!
This looks awesome on you! I think that's incredible that Custom Curves carries 55 bands in store! The boutiques I've been to rarely carry 60 bands from EM, let alone 55's.
considering i fit the cups of a 28G or GG just fine idk why the cups on this were so huge on me - even with removable padding i do not fit this bra. maybe its just my alien boobs idk.
I normally wear a 28FF in older Freyas (before their sizing went bezerk) and a 28G in Panache but find them loose in the band. The 55GG Ch Perelka fits me quite well with the exception of my aureolas poking out at times. I am not sure if this is due to the fact that my breasts are bottom heavy or my aureolas are high. It is quite comfortable, however the straps are very stretchy so I find that I do need to have a firm band. The wires are very narrow, I do not have a problem with the wires going into my armpit, and I get great uplift with ...this bra! I have worn it almost daily for a few months and while the fabric isnt as bright as it once was and the foam cups have softened, it has held up quite well. If I slouch or half lay down in this bra, the underwires do dig into my ribs but that is most likely due to the fact that I don't have any fatty tissue to protect them. I love the fabric, the scalloped trim, and bows at the gore and straps, very feminine.
The matching underwear is lovely as well, just a shame ewa doesn't make cotton underwear. Read more 98 more words
Classic polish bras, no pictures do this bra justice. It drips of elegance and makes me feel posh just giving it a good look. So many small details that are greater than the sum of it's parts - the dusky peach that is the base colour of the cup as well as the ribbon along the wings and first 3 1/2" of the straps. Part of the gore has a sheer and see-through detail that's topped by black bow-tie and a clear gemstone (that enhances the bra's sophistication, I'm shocked at the gem not looking cheap or garish), and through the transparent mesh at the bottom is a ...black 'X' of the same lace that billows along the bridge that it leads to and then tops the cups. 4 columns of eyes instead of the typical 3 Sadly, by the time I let myself buy this off Bratabase it was too small for me. It was less open on top than I'd hoped, which can make a bra more flexible in allowing for a larger size by 1/2-1 size in my experience (and with soft tissue & usually about even fullness). It did seem to run small by a cup size judging by my 55Gs, 55FFs & other sizes from Ewa that are mostly S, CHP and otherwise plunge and half-cups. Read more 113 more words
I would say this bra runs true to size in the band. The cups also appear to run true to size for a padded Ewa bra. The CH cut is lovely and deep at the wire and centre gore which is great. This particular bra seems to have the left cup sewn slightly smaller or differently to the right cup but i think the effect of this is probably exacerbated by my left breast being the larger one. The cups on this are too small for me in any case and cut in at the top creating quadboob so i will likely be on selling this bra.
Bought this bra on eBay just to try out the fit. The band fits fine with an extender, but the cups are too narrow and too small for me. Also, the shape of this style of bra (S) does not work well with my boobs; the CHP is a much better shape for me.
The bra in this size is made of a 3 part cup. The straps are partially adjustable and the band fastens with 2 rows of 4 columns of hooks. It comes with removable 'push-up' pads to help with breast asymmetry or add an extra boost. The band on this bra was in line with the length I'd expect for a 55/26 band and the amount of stretchiness in most EM bras.
This bra has beige foam cups with a black lace overlay and the band of the bra is black. I think that if your skin tone was similar to that of the bra cup, it would look like a sheer lace bra. The gore is quite low, as opposed to the sizes I've tried for myself in the PL (60L and 65L), where the bra isn't really a true plunge.
My measurements: 25 BTT, 26 Snug, 35 standing, 37 leaning and lying. 2/6 Full on Bottom.
Appearance: This bra is just as beautiful in real life as it looks in the pictures. I am very impressed, and the quality of the fabrics seems great as well. I really like the shape and cleavage I get from this bra, and the padded pillows for asymmetry correction are invaluable.
Band size: Tighter than my other EM 55s, but I found this bra to be perfect with just one extra row from an extender. I can wear it without an extender without any distortion of the cup, but I found it quite uncomfortable, ...especially after a prolonged period of time. I wouldn't recommend a 55 in this style for anyone with larger measurements than myself unless you were okay with wearing an extender.
Comfort: Band and straps are comfortable. I do find the wires quite uncomfortable though, as if they seem to not be padded enough.
Projection and Width: This style seems to provide more immediate projection than the PL and S styles, but with wider wires. Probably better for those who are even or FoT as the cup is quite open. I am very full on bottom but the padded pillows seem to help. The cups seem to be about a half size larger than in the PL, S and Ch styles, but this is the only Chp I have tried so I am unsure if this is due to the cut of the Chp or just this style.
TLDR; one of Ewa's tighter 55s, best for even to full on top.
This is the one Ewa Michalak bra that I just don't want to let go, even though the cups are a bit too big, and the band is a bit too loose. I think it's the padded straps that have entranced me-- that, and the soft, comfortable feel of the entire bra.
Alas, it has the problem all my other Ewas have, and even just wearing it for a moment reminds me of how the weight of it is basically sitting on the top of my stomach.
I've heard that the Onyx line runs a bit big in the band, but I'm not sure where I stand on that. It's one of the looser EM bands out of my haul, but it's also not as loose as I was expecting of a 70. If I was reordering this bra, I'd go with a 65 just to be safe.
The band was surprisingly tight-- it felt more like a 65 than a 70, which should be good for longevity for anyone who wants it. It was only just the right size in the cup, with some quad-boob on my smaller boob because I forgot to take out the filets that I put on that side.
Comfort was so-so, mostly because of the lace detailing on the straps and the bottom edge of the bra band. Very pretty, but not as comfy as it could have been. I didn't feel the lace on the bottom edge as much as I thought I would, though, so ymmv.
Of course the shape, lift and separation is excellent, and the low, closely-set gore works perfectly with my breasts. The underwires were wide enough for me as well. Overall, if the bra had been more comfortable, and my high stomach wasn't in the way, this would have been a keeper. But it it wasn't, and my tummy's going nowhere, so I'll be selling this on.
I ordered this bra in a 55GG rather than my usual PL & CH size of 55H as I heard the CHP styles run large in the cup. This turned out to be true, and the GG is a really good fit for me in the cup.
The band is tighter than some other 55s I've had from Ewa, but I'm not surprised as the bands are always very inconsistent. It's perfect for me with one extra row from an extender.
The straps are a little thinner than I'm used to, which is quite a nice change. They're still supportive, but dig in just a little by the end of ...the day due to the the width. The straps are fully adjustable.
The design is very pretty, as the wings are covered with red lace similar to the briefs. The red is a little bright for me so it doesn't suit my pale (blonde hair, green eyes) complexion as well as some other colours.
I can't say I like the shape of this CHP as much as my CHs and PLs. It's still rounded and upfront, but not quite as much as I'm used to. This isn't one of the EM bras that comes with removable padding, so you can't use that to get a bit more uplift. If anything, I'd say the shape is slightly more 'natural' but still rounded (if that makes any sense). I still much prefer it to something like the Masquerade Rhea and it works well for my shape.
I figured I was generally a 60G in Ewa Michalak bras, but read in a place or two that the Onyx ran loose in the band. It was obviously a mistake because the band almost doesn't fasten on the smallest hook and the cups are somehow also much smaller. I love the multiple, fully interchangeable strap feature (a big reason why I got this bra, although the bra MUST be worn with straps). The padding I'm a bit confused about, since I can't see someone who fits the bra properly being able to accommodate the inserts as well, but I can't test this out as it's too small to begin with. I'll probably try ordering this in my proper 60G size, or maybe even sizing up, because the 60G sometimes feels on the fence about containing everything.
It looks beautiful on you! It IS nice that you have a local shop that supplies EM/Comexim bras! Lucky!
