Indecisionland: Help me choose my first Ewa Michalak Customs!
I'm diving into the deep end and planning my first Ewa Michalak custom order! I'll need to save up and sell a few bras but knowing what I'm looking forward to helps! I just looked at my newly acquired collection of Polish bras (after clearing out my old stash/ unworn ones and suffering from either bruised sternums (I'm very close-set) or flattened, unflattering boob shapes under clothes for way too long), I realized that I need an emergency dose of color! I used to only buy colorful bras but have in maturity (tee hee) learned to appreciate sexy blacks and nudes, especially with my recent discovery of Ewa Michalak!
I'm 30:7 to 30:8 and even to FOB, tall shallow roots, close-set, center-full, soft self-supporting and I have fallen in love with my round cakes on plate shape in CHPs ( who knew that was possible???). I also love the SF for its unlined comfort and support/lift. I was thrilled when EM told me they could make CHPs out of the list I sent them - no surprise, all in colors, so it's now a matter of choosing which ones - I'm hoping some of you Polish bra connoisseurs could help with this because the more I deliberate the more confused I get...so here goes:
I am eyeing the Dot Red, BM Michelle, BM Roz and BM Koronkowa Scarlet. I'd love to choose just 3 for custom CHPs but it's SO hard. I like the Dot Red as an SF too and wondering if I should get both as CHP and SF (yikes $$!) I am set on BM Michelle as a CHP so that's good. I have been looking for a sexy classic red bra (I am giving up my gorgeous Prima Donna because HIGH painful gores) and I love the look of the BM Scarlet Koronkowa. I also love the look of the BM Roz -that PINK!
Stuck #1: However, here's the thing, I'm not big on lace because 1. They are sometimes scratchy, 2. They often show up under clothes. Ewa Michalak appears to use very high quality lace so I'd love to know if any of you own the Roz or Koronkawa and can tell me what the lace is like under clothes. I have looked at ALL the pictures, stock and personal and I cannot tell how flat the lace really is.
Stuck #2: I quite like the demure contrast of the sexy red (and pink) with the full coverage of the BM. I've seen a Koronkawa CHP but for some reason, the BM looks better. I wish this was an SF because I know how I fit in them, but I've never tried a BM (couldn't get it in my size at Levana and want something less full-coverage). So while I originally wanted this in CHP, now I'm not sure. Gah!
Any suggestions, advice, most welcomed! (I really wish EM made more laceless colored bras. I am hoping my Comexim custom 3HC works (it's on the way) because they have more laceless options. )

So I've tried the Koronkawa and the colour was really nice on 65FF - Ewa Michalak » Bm Koronkowa I sent it back because I was really wanting a green bra (and now I ended up with 3, lol!), but I actually kinda regretted sending it back. However, the pink would have the same "pop" I think. Both are good choices, and Michelle is really pretty too.
I tried a couple of the BMs on with tank tops, here are the pictures
65F - Ewa Michalak » Bm Absynt

I'd say the lace is fairly smooth under shirts. It's softer than a lot of other lace bras I've tried. Not sure how it'd be on a CHP though? BMs hug your boobs pretty well, so they are more form fitted than a Chp. It looks like the Michelle might be crafted with smoother material on the cups. You could always do the Michelle in a chp, then the Koronkawa or Roz in a SF because of the lace? If you still want the Dot red, it would probably look good as a chp too?
If it were me, I probably wouldn't get the same bra in 2 different cuts, but that's because I'd rather have 2 unique bras to wear instead. Whatever floats your boat though, don't let me sway you!
Good luck!
I have, or have had, a ton of BMs, including the Roz you're specifically curious about. The lace is pretty smooth under most tops, I don't even notice it under silk. I have sensitive skin but Ewa uses nice lace and I've never had issue with any of them being itchy. It does get pilly, though, even if you take care of it. Some get pilly and fuzzy faster than others.
Also, wash Roz alone the first few times. It discharges a ton of extra dye at first, but doesn't lose color.
You may like the BM if you like the SF, I don't personally find the BM to be any higher coverage than the SF but the BM is far more comfortable for me. You can return non-custom bras back to her if you don't care for them and it's actually incredibly cheap, or even free, to do so by opting into PayPal's return shipping program.
