May 11, 2013

Yay, I sold my first two bras here and it went very smoothly, without any problems :-).
On the other hand I experienced my biggest bra frustration yesterday: I had fallen head over heels for the 3d Ptyś by Ewa Michalak, as soon as it appeared on her webside. Having read good feedback for the 3D/3DM styles on wide root shallow boobs, I ordered it right away in the size her calculator now recommends for me. I wasn't close to any other sizes, so I only ordered it in this size. When I unpacked the bra, it looked so great, so retro ... but also a little bit small in the cups :-S. And, yes, my first impression was right and it's at least a cupsize too small for me. Well, I could live with that if it wasn't sold out in almost any size - and especially the 70C I would need - now. I've never been that disappointed when a bra didn't fit me and I'm also so angry with myself for not ordering several sizes to try on (as everyone recommends with Ewa bras).
I also ordered the PL Karmelki in the same size, which kind of fits, but just about (if I breathe in too deeply, the upper cups cut in a bit and I'm most definitely not going to use the pads that came with it). I can't really decide on whether or not to keep it or send it back.

  • You can probably try asking them to custom make it for you I think :x
    Looking at the bras that fit you though, you probably need a 70D/65DD and wear it with the pads? You can always stuff it more if it's too big :)
    It's absolutely gorgeous though :) I really want to try the 3D's, but there's not a lot of information yet on them.

  • I just received a very pleasant and civilized reply to my (really very nicely phrased) question if I could exchange the 70B Ptys for a 70C:
    "Hi,

    Unfortunately we can't do such thing. We don't have any materials to sew that another for You.

    Greet
    (the infamous D. Michalak)"
    I replied that I was quite surprised to hear that, seeing as they still offer custom sizes and the bra only came out on May 1st.
