I ordered this a month or two before Dec. 2012. Since then it has stretched out a bit, but I am going to review this bra in the condition I got it.

First, I normally wear a 30F in Ewa Michalak. Since I wasn't sure what to order in this bra (as it was very new at the time and there were no reviews about it), I went with my usual size.

From what I understand, the CHP style is a mixture of the Ch half-cup and the Hp half-cup style -- it presses the breasts down and upwards, but still contains slightly deeper cups than the Hp style, most likely thanks to the Ch. I find that this bra does exactly what it advertises -- pushing up and out, rather than just flattening your breasts down to your chest. It gives me a very rounded, forward shape when I wear it, even moreso than my Hm (soft-cup EM) or Ch style bras.

The cups are pretty smooth with the Mak. It still has three seams, as with most EM bras, but they aren't visible under shirts (unless I wear something thin and clingy, which isn't often). The top seam, where the breast and cup meet, is also a bit flatter than the usual EM bra that has detailing or trim. This makes it work great beneath black t-shirts.

The straps don't bother my arms (pretty crucial, since I have narrow shoulders), though it is a bit tougher to adjust the length than smoother strapped bras, like many Freya soft-cups, but it won't make your fingers sore.

The band is the only place where I had issues with this bra. As I said, I wear 65F (30F) in Ewa Michalak bras, so I ordered this bra in a 65F. The band runs extremely tight -- I could fasten it, but it felt a bit painful to wear on my 29.5" underbust. I imagine this is due to the band being primarily lace. I ended up ordering an extender for this bra later on, which made it comfortable to wear and equivalent to my other 30 bands. I'd say if you're a 27-28" underbust, you will want to order this bra in a 30" band -- it runs that snug.

Thankfully, it has stretched out a slight bit since then, making it more wearable without an extender, but it has taken 2-3 months.

Other than that, this bra is fantastic, beautiful, and very comfortable.
