Ewa stretches out really fast! » All bra adventures

Ewa stretches out really fast!

My dream bra would be very elastic in the band (ie. big difference between non-stretched and stretched measurement), but then keep it's small measurement: Though with a lot of these bras, their un-stretched measurement gets closer and closer to their stretched measurement, until you end up with a large, unstretchy bra.
Now, Ewa, is pretty unstretchy to begin with. Which I don't like, but at least they won't get bigger over time, right? Nope. So it seems it starts up with a small unstretchy band, and ends up as a large, unstretchy band :( I know I like bras to be a little tight, and that they also have a lot to carry, but I do make sure to hand wash them in low-ish temperatures etc. to try to extend their life. The Karmelki I got just this week was really difficult to close at first (so I wore it with extender) - after 1½ days of wear, it's already easy-peasy to close on it's regular hooks and eyes... And the Cappuccinno I got just a little over a month ago - even though I've altered it down 2", look at what I saw when taking pictures of my Pepperberry clothes! I immidiatly checked if I had tightened the straps too much or something, but nope, more than 2 fingers could easily manouvre around under them. Sad :(
In other news, I've ordered a 70KK S-bra from Ewa - which is still in returnable, so I hope I can figure out what my size would be there - and hopefully the bands are more elastic, but doesn't lose their size as quickly!

  • Could be I'm just not as aware as I should be, considering my long history of wearing crappy bras. But...my Fantasie bras seem to quite snug after many months.

    Seehs--I'm beginning to sound like I work for them. I don't!

  • oh dear!! That doesn't look good!
    I hope the S-bra works better... and that any future PL bras work better too!
