Didn't fit

The band on this bra is too small for me, as I knew it would be. I had this crazy idea that if I used an extender on a smaller band, it would result in the wires moving out of my armpits. Which sort of worked, and I might try that strategy again, but this bra still isn't going to work for me.

I had hoped that Ewa's HM cut would work better for me than the SM, but I am going to have to keep looking. It is still way too open at the top for me. The straps are also set very far apart, and leave me with angry red stripes along the edge of my shoulders and a very unhappy tail of spence.

It's a beautiful bra, though. It looks like an old-fashioned mantilla. The cups are also nice and deep, especially at the bottom, and the gore is very narrow. Unfortunately for me, it's also very tall. All in all, not a bra that loves me.

    In all fairness, a "36" band that stretches to 33.5 is utterly ridiculous. I've heard good things about the HM cut but never tried one due to the super tall gore. Too bad it doesn't work for you!

    While I agree with you lcl0706, We must keep in mind though that an 80 band is meant to be 80cm, & 80cm is only 31.496 inches, not 36. So in all fairness to EM, it's not as ridiculous with that factored in. They convert with the +4/5 theory it would seem. :/

    I commend you dishevelled_diva for using logic & testing your theory on the band & extender! It was a brilliantly thought out plan, sorry it didn't workout as hoped with this particular bra.

    Thanks for the encouragement, MamaPagan! I still have hope! And now I know that I can add HM to my list of Ewa Bras that don't work for me. So far, that includes every cut that isn't stretchy at the top of the cups. SF seems promising, but the jury is still out on BM and PL.

    I personally love the SF style, though I know many don't. It's yet to be what I'd call sexy, but supportive, comfortable & no quad boob worry are all plus marks for me!

Fit information

On Mar 2017

Need an extender to fasten, but this moves the straps in so it's a good thing. Cups too open at top.

Strap separation:
Are too far apart
Underwire length:
Runs too high under the arm, it pokes
Top of the cup:
Wrinkles, can't quite fill it
Cups separation:
Too separate for my boobs
Band fit:
Can't quite fasten the bra (band too small)

This bra didn't fit her, but these did
