Didn't fit

My shape: FOB, projected, soft tissue, narrow roots and shoulders
Appearance: This bra is a BLINDINGLY bright neon green. I love the look of it! It's got neon green straps, band, and lace detailing on the cups. Underneath the lime green embroidery is a sheer white mesh that has no stretch.
Fit: I ordered this bra, and two others, for my first order from magdalenahukalowicz at bras4you.com. She was super wonderful to work with, and very communicative.
I'm not going to lie, I am super disappointed by this bra. I feel really guilty about it, since Magda had it ordered just for me. There is nothing about it that fits me at all. The cups are REALLY shallow, the straps SUPER wide set, and the gore is so tall that it doesn't tack. My boobs are so squished in these cups! There's no saving it for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I coveted this bra when I saw MamaPagan post hers a while back, and the one I wanted was a different cup style. (The one with three cup sections instead of this balconette style.) Kostar did not have enough materials and lace to make me the one I wanted, so when Magda emailed me about this style, I emphatically told her yes! Make me one! Not realizing it was a different style. That's my own fault.
Anyways, if you like shallow balconette styles, this bra would be perfect for you.

This bra is not owned any more

  • Such a bummer! Would it possibly fit your sister?

  • MamaPagan It might! I'm not sure if she's as... adventurous with bra colors and I have become, lol. I will text her to see! I don't know why I didn't think of that myself!

  • This might just be the bra to make her want to be a bit bold and more free spirited! :D

    It is such a gorgeous bra!

  • I texted her the picture and she said, "That might fit me," lol. If I don't sell it here or on eBay before I see her next, I'm going to have her try it on.
    This is totally off subject, but who do you contact at Ewa Michalak with your questions? I have GOT TO HAVE THAT NEW BIKINI, the orange neon sherbet looking one. I want it so badly. I can't seem to find any info on it other than the pictures that were posted on Instagram. I figure you would be the right person to ask, o knowledgeable Polish bra lover! ;)

  • Kaśka at sklep@ewa-michalak.pl

    Ewa is closed Aug 15th until Sept 3rd for Holiday though so I don't think you'll get an order in now......

  • Yeah, I saw that. I guess it can't hurt to email to see when the swimsuit will even be available!

  • Ewa is notorious for delaying her "soon" releases, so I'd assume next Spring. Please post the reply as I want that one too!

  • Too bad this didn't come close to fitting. It's really a pretty bra.

  • Do you know if Kostar is typically shallow at the wire? I was thinking about ordering a Kostar from Magda. I've been indecisive because of little data on the brand, and I have a lot of trouble with her website.

  • Brash5 This is the first Kostar I have tried, so I don't really know if they are shallow or not. I have the orange one coming, and that's a different cup, so I should know for sure what that style fits like soonish. And I have trouble with her site, too! It only lets me look at the first page of any of the bras; when I try to hit next page, it just sits there with a spinning circle and never refreshes or shows me new stuff.

  • Will do! I sent the email a few hours ago; hopefully I will get a reply before they leave for their vacation! If not, I guess we will have to wait and see.

  • That's exactly what happens when I try to look at her site! I thought it was my computer. I'm eager to hear your review on the new Kostar. Also, did you find the wire width on the lime one about the same as Gaia? I'm a little nervous about the wide straps. I get so tired of pushing them back up all day.

    I'd suggest asking magdalenahukalowicz about the Kostar bras for general guidance and input. Maybe she will be willing to add some of the Kostar bras here for us with photos and measurements. A great way to strengthen the database while promoting both Kostar bras and her business, so a win all around! :-D

    Also, last year Magda had the same issue with the site not going past the first page. Just shoot her an email and let her know and she'll get her IT person to correct it again. :-)

  • I just heard back from Kaska MamaPagan and you were right. She said it won’t be available on the website this year :(

  • At least they are consistent, haha! Thanks for the update : -)
