My Ewas Arrived Today!

My order from EM arrived today, and I think I overestimated the size I need.... sort of. I got the S Iwette and SM Bezyk in 65L (measurements and reviews coming). The bands are too big, but I expected that- I was trying to compensate for cup volume. I've tried them on and my appearance is really bizarre. I have a perfectly filled bottom cup with a great shape, and this huge space in the top. It certainly doesn't look like the images of other people wearing an S bra.

I actually think if I move the straps down and in, and cut away the top of the cup, I may get a nice result, or otherwise I may just jeopardise the structural integrity of the bra and have a weird shape. It's worth a go either way. I feel like my breasts are too high, or I'm too short, or something. Maybe I should have just been upsizing and cutting down the tops of bras all along. My projected breasts tend to fight bras like no-one's business and they feel kind of happy in this.

  • Remember that if the band is too big it is usually almost impossible to fill out the top of the bra, unless the bra is way too small in the cups. If you haven't tried it, pull the band super-tight with one hand and then scoop and swoop (or let someone else hold the band really tight).

    Also, with the tighter band the cups will be wider and the straps will be very far out. I don't know about your fram size but I've moved my S straps between 2 cm and 2.5 cm and with that it worked great. Before that? Massive gaping even with the band fitted, just because my arms pushed the cups forward. As someone doing these sort of thing all the time, I'd be happy to share advice etc if you'd like to? Just let me know when you have some pictures up and I'll take a look.

  • Mine (Czekolada) fits exactly the way you've described! Do let us know if you have any luck with alterations - I've been padding mine to lift my boobs into the top half of the cups, which looks fine but isn't super comfortable.
