This bra is marked as not fitting, which is technically true but doesn't tell the whole story. I'm between sizes right now, so I decided to go with a larger cup and pad the difference instead of overspilling a smaller cup. That, in fact, is why I picked this bra, which has a provision for removable pads. With one pad in the larger side, and two in the smaller side, there is only a tiny bit of gaping. It's a bra to grow into, instead of out of.

It has the same wide straps that I appreciate from the CH purple, which I own in 36GG (I do spill out of the top of that, but the band size is comfortable - the CH Lilia band seems to run very tight as I wear a 34 band in most bras and a 36 in most Ewa bras but need a 38 for the Lilia). It comes with extra straps and I'm not sure if I like that, as in the past I've had removable straps slide loose. I will just have to wait and see, I suppose.

There is some rather pronounced boning on the back near where the straps attach which sticks down in almost a point. I've found that this pointed shape pokes me quite badly, leaving small welts. They do go away, but it isn't so comfortable. This is also the first bra I've ever had where the underwires don't seem to sit on my ribcage right, and may need bending.

I get the same magnificent shape I have come to expect from Ewa's CH bras, so I have no complaints there!

This bra is not owned any more
