Another fine quality offering from Ewa Michalak. In this size range, the bra cup is made of four parts- three vertical sections with an angled section on top. The bra isn't really a true plunge owing to the height of the gore, but more of a plunge balcony. It has 3 rows of 4 columns of hooks. It comes with 'push-up' pads to correct asymmetry or provide a bit of an extra boost.

The bra is designed to be multi-way and comes with a few different sets of straps with hooks. It's possible to wear it in the regular configuration, as a crossover, or a halterneck. It's not designed to be strapless, however I think with a very firm band and a supportive top, you may find it possible to wear it without the straps. I found though that the hooks hadn't really been designed with the weight of very large breasts in mind and so the straps had a tendency to detach themselves unexpectedly during wear.

I feel as though this is probably the size that the Polish fit school would suggest for me, and it's okay as a fashion bra, but the cups are too tall to provide any real support on my high-set, short-rooted breasts, and the straps are too wide-set. I found also wearing the bra as a crossover was a bit better for strap placement, but the consequence was that there was a lot of puckering in the back of the band and that it meant that the full weight of my breasts was being held up by the thin strip of elastic at the base of the bra, which is exceptionally painful for any real duration of time.

I wasn't fussed on the super round shape which the bra gave me, and feel that spherical breasts are a bit comical in my size, but that's really a matter of preference. I also would think if the cups were the right height and not pulled forward, the bra would in fact be too small for me to wear without significant cutting in.

The wires were a bit too wide for me, but certainly far narrower than most other offerings around this size range.

The design of the bra is basic, but quite attractive. The buttons on the gore change it from being a plain bra to a more visually appealing one.

I think that the Onkys could be quite nice even in the very large cup sizes if you have broad shoulders and breasts without too much centre fullness which aren't too high on your chest. I feel as though I'll never find a correct size in the PL cut for me personally, but I do think that it's a bra which would work on others.

This bra is not owned any more
