I bought this bra when I discovered that I was particularly compatible with the HM style in one cup size smaller than usual. It was no longer in production, but Ewa kindly agreed to sew it on my special order.
Every HM bra is a little different in it's construction and shape, some of them run smaller in the cups (@Ewa Michalak Hm Granatowy Motyl (142)), but HM Gold, the last model in this style, is slightly different.
I'm convinced that these differences are related to the material it's made of. It's a very thin lace with a gold thread. As this material is very delicate, it can't support the breast weight as good as other HM bras. That must be the reason why there's an additional support at the cups and straps connection. This additional material has it's advantages – it resolves the problem of the cup edge that sometimes doesn't "adhere" to the breast tissue. In this model it gives a smooth line on the top. The inconvenient is that it also modifies the shape the bra gives in profile and which is now much less projected, I would even say that it's quite flat comparing to the other HM bras.
But my biggest problem with this bra is the weird cup shape I get and which I would describe as “humpbacked”https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> As the lace doesn't have the same thickness everywhere, and because my breast tissue is not very firm, it forms a kind of humps where the lace is thinner. The shape under the clothes is not very attractivehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Concerning the underwires, they're a little bit more flexible and shorter than in other HM's.

My overall opinion about this bra is quite mixed. It's a very beautiful bra made of a delicate sheer lace and decorated with nice details. The most important for me though is the shape it gives as it's what people see in firsthttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> I don't wear this bra very often but I kept it in the hope that it will fit better if my size changes in the future.

This bra is not owned any more
