I know I said I said I'd wait for a full day of wearing it before writing a review, but apparently when it comes to sharing bra news, I'm impatient. So I'll add info if there's anything additional to add when I wear it for a full day.

So this bra works as an everyday staple. It's solid black and the lower half is made of a thicker material, that (to me) feels similar to the material on the bravissimo's sports bra. It's not quite the same. But they're similar in terms of thickness and stiffness (it's not too stiff but it does have some structure to it). It also has two vertical seams. The upper half consists of a folder over stretchy tulle. Now as much as a like the concept, what happens to me when I wear it, is that the top of that fold forms a little lip that prints through. So your mileage will vary on how you feel about that.

The maximum and minimum cup depth were recorded at 14.3 inches and 12.5 inches respectively. I had entered the maximum cup depth in the measurement table. he maximum cup depth was measured by stretching the cup over the knee and the minimum cup depth by hovering the cup between the knees and hanging the tape measure and recording that value. The band measures 23 inches not stretched and 28.8 inches stretched.

This bra has a few details such as a button at the gore and straps, as well as flower pattern on the straps, that takes it a step above basic. It really is a wonderful looking bra and quite comfortable at that.

The material is smooth against the skin and I have not found it to be itchy. As with other 65/30 bands, I hook it up on the second tightest hook and it could go tighter. Unfortunately, as it regards the cups there is some quadding on my larger side and a small bit on the smaller one.On a side note I just realised that one of the side pics may have made it look larger that it really is, due to the quadding on my larger side (it's behind the smaller one) and the lighting. So I'll make a note there.

I also feel like the gap between the straps and the body are more noticeable on this one, in comparison to the BMs. The gore doesn't lie flat either..it's maybe about half a finger - to a finger away from the sternum.

That being said, I really like this bra. I like the feel of it and the rounded shape it gives. So while this one is a miss. I don't count it that way.

Sometime in the future I'll probably try and SF again, but in a larger cup size and see how that works. The next on my to-buy list though, is the brownie bra.

  Bummer that the cups are a bit small, but it still looks great on you. :-)

  Brownie is on my purchase list too. (Through Magda!! :-D)

  I hope the fit of that one is better for you. :-)

• 1

  Thanks MamaPagan. I really do like it, so I'm not complaining. Yep I'm planning to order through Magda also 😁

• Yes, I found I had to wear the SF in the same size as my S, a cup size up from BM

• 1

  Frazzleberry Hopefully we can have them ordered tomorrow since Ewa will be open again, yay!! :-)

  @dbmamaz Did your order arrive yesterday?

• 1

  dbmamaz that does seem to be the case with some of the SFs. Would you say the S shape is generally a cup size up? Or does it vary within the shape?

  @MamaPagan I can't wait 😁😁

• 2

  Frazzleberry I can't speak for others, but in my experience, my S size has always been a cup up from a BM size. It's that way with an SF and an SM shape for me as well (at least in the past). :)

  I, too, am excited for the brownie bra, as I feel my Topaz BM I bought is going to be miles too small. :)

• 2

  The S is too shallow on the bottom for me and too tall, so I went up a cup size from my SF size. This didn’t fix the tall problem but it was deep enough. The S is a lot smaller depth wise than an SF of the same size.

• 1

  Ahh kk. I see. Eventually I do want to try one of the S multiways but that's more of a vague in the not immediate future kind of thing. So I was just wondering about the sizing

• 2

  Frazzleberry I agree a cup or two up for the S style but as Sovavosi stated, it just lacks the needed immediate projection, which makes for a less than ideal fit...... :-/

• Darn :/

• 1

  I know! Some of the S styles are gorgeous and I keep trying them, but aside from Zielony, I never liked the fit or shape they gave. :-/

  But, if you like the SF you can sometimes order the S style in the SF style.

• The Brownie disappeared from the website :( whyyyyy

• Whaaaaat???? 😭😭😭😭

• 1

  No panicking yet. I am sure it is only temporary. :-) Magda has an inquiry into Kaśka about it (and a few others), so we should have a confirmation soon. (As in the next day or so.)

• MamaPagan I hope so

• 1

  I have it in my wishlist on Ewa's site. It's still there, but not viewable to the public, like Dita was 2 months ago. Not sure why, but with Topaz still being available, I don't see Brownie not being an option. So.....too early to panick just yet!

• I have to wonder if it is still because of the holiday/post-holiday buying spree. Blueberry's stock is getting low... there goes my chance of getting another size :(

• Ok..makes sense

• 2

  Sovavosi but Topaz is still at full stock and is the same lace as Brownie, so it's most likely another issue, like how Flamenco disappeared due to a lining quality control issue but returned a month later.

  It could be that Topaz sales dropped as soon as Brownie appeared, and Ewa is trying to push the pricier bra first though....

  With no model photos, it's always possible that it wasn't intended as being public viewable just yet, like with Dita, which is my top bet.

• Aw man, I hope that isn't the case though and it is ready to be picked edge. (Maybe since there are a few orders requesting it..she'll do them [that's probably wishful thinking on my part though])

• 2

  Magda should have an answer soon so just give it a day or so and we should know. :-)

• 1

  Lol I just realised my phone autocorrected whatever it was it was typing to 'picked edge' (I'm supposing it should've been ordered/purchased)

  folks..please review your comments before selecting add comment..

  Yup MamaPagan it shouldn't be long until we know for sure 🙂

• 2

  Haha! Yeah, I always cringe when I hit add/send and realize I hadn't proofread it yet. :-o
  Auto-correct is insane sometimes I tell you. It gets even wilder when you do a mid-sentence edit ........

• 1

  Lol yes. Autocorrect can get pretty wild

• 1

  Brownie can still be ordered through Magda :-D

• 1

  MamaPagan yep 🙂 I spoke to her this morning about it.

• Small band (almost like a 28 band) and cup depth compared to other bras in the size. So do you recommend sizing up in this bra? Ewa on her Website says rather size down if between sizes (but she probably talks about her other bras that run big compared to this one?).

• 3

  She talks mainly about BM, I believe.
  I think you'd want to try a 70 band in EM as all my 70s run at about 79-83cm. The 65s are way way too tight and only stretch to 76cm at most.

• 2

  The J/JJ/K cups are going to have a longer band than expected for their size. If your snug UB is at the max for a band size then don't size down the band (29" UB wearing a 30 band). If you're wearing the minimum size for your band (27-28" UB wearing a 30 band) size down on the band.

• 1

  Yeah the general consensus with SFs seem to be to size up. There are a few people, who can wear the same size in in their BMs and SFs but I think it's best to size up maybe?

  The band is pretty standard for their measurements.. it's more in line with the cm measurements than inches..so when you're checking your band size, measure in cm as opposed to the inches? There should be a +3cm stretch factor in the bra..I think, so take that into consideration also...

• 1

  Okay I think brasaremean and Sovavosi has the better information on band sizes..I really didn't think about that XD so please ignore the latter part of my response lol

• Thanks everyone :) I also set up my own Ewa adventure so I don't hijack this post too much.

  There will always be rouge bras, both band and cup, so regardless of what is typical we have all experienced "surprises" with Ewa. I wear the same size for both SF and BM but the BM is slightly more spacious in the cup. Currently the SF is more reliable in sizing but with Ewa, this can change.

  Personally, I wouldn't suggest sizing down in band or cup. It is far easier to shorten a band than make it longer, and cups with a bit of extra space is far better than too small and painful.

• When Ewa cups are small, the de/compression is awfully painful, I don't know why. I'd always go for larger too.

• 1

  MamaPagan Thank you. Yes I could still alter the bra if it's slightly too big. 75K is the biggest size possible from the drop down menue with out a special order so I try that one first and go from there.

• 1

  From what I measured of the 60K SF and BM, the SF is about .5" to 1" shorter than the BM. This makes the cups "smaller" when they are really just not so tall.

  alisa It sounds like a solid plan. Best wishes and I hope it fits perfectly. 🍀
