The wires are narrow and comfortable. I have enough projection so I don't feel smashed, but it's also shallow enough to give that nice close round shape.
The band is soft, and comfortable. It's also about .5" thinner than most of my other bras, so I get some flesh bunching above and below the band. It's not uncomfortable, but it's a little weird to see in an Ewa bra. It's a firm 30 and stays in place well on the loosest hook.
The straps are fully adjustable but very thin and pretty elastic. You can see that they dig into my shoulders. I'm thinking about breaking down my 32C - Fortnight » Mira Longline (517-11) that I can't seem to sell, and using the straps to replace the ones on the Melon. They're the only part of the bra that I find uncomfortable.
The lace overlay is very pretty and shows through thin shirts. The color functions well as a nude and blends in with my skin tone better than I thought it would.
This bra was never put into production and this is a prototype. I wonder if it had actually been available if the complaints I have would have been addressed in the final product.

Edit: I went ahead and altered the straps. I added the straps from the Fortnight, but they're so slippery on their own, so I put the original straps from the Melon on top. Gives the slider some texture to grip, and they're more comfortable on my shoulders.
This is my first time changing straps completely and I think it turned out rather well.

This bra is not owned any more

• Interesting. Lovely pattern

• Wow, I've never seen a review of an Ewa Michalak prototype that didn't make it into production. Thanks for the review and pictures. How did you happen to get this bra?

• I got it from another user that got it from another user that got it from another user at balkonetka.pl.
  It's more well-traveled than I!
