Nov 23, 2012 -- Ewa Michalak CHP ... fits like PL?!

Yesterday, I received the Ewa Michalak CHP Ametyst I ordered on a whim just before the weekend. I was already a bit sceptical but still felt mightily disappointed when I found my suspicions confirmed: this beautiful style just really doesn't work for me. Like, AT ALL. CHP is supposed to be a blend of CH (which I love) and HP (which I haven't tried), both half-cups though with slightly different properties. Why, then, does it fit on me almost like PL, a plunge?! With all the fitting issues attached to that style and then some: seriously gapping cup edges, my soft breasts spilling towards the centre due to a (too) low centre gore, and cups that simply come up too high for my ridiculously short upper body and high set breasts. It seems to have a bit less projection than PL -- which, I think, actually makes it fit decidedly worse on me than PL as the shallower, higher cups tend to slip down at the bottom and gap more at the top -- but apart from that, on me, CHP is just an ill-fitting PL in disguise and nowhere near a worthwhile alternative for CH. Bummer.

  • Oh so sorry to her it didn't work :( I know the feeling, and it's even worse when you get super excited about something. From what Ive heard, it isn't entirely impossible that tgey have sent you a plunge. take some poctures and send them, ask them if they are sure that that's a chp. Will you be giving hp a shot?

  • What Vlatka said. EM seems to be having problems when it comes to label their products. HP Koktaijl on their site is a CHP for example. Had it not been for Curvy Wordy I wouldn't have known.

    Put up pictures and we'll judge if they did something wrong?

    I didn't have a printer when I sent my returns to EM and I also didn't have proof of postage so I guess I will never have my money back from them.
