The MP is a new construction based on the 3D. Truskawki z malinami is the first MP to be released. At the same time, Ewa Michalak released the Truskawki z malinami in the S construction.

If you ordered and received an Ewa Michalak Truskawki z malinami but are disappointed with its fit, you may have received the wrong bra! I ordered an MP but received an S. I didn’t realize this at first, as there was no style designation on my bra. Another Bratabaser ordered an S but received an MP. The style name was noted on one of her bra’s tags. After comparing measurements of our bras (thanks Bratabase!), we realized Ewa Michalak’s error. Before this revelation, we had been trying to communicate with the company about our respective bras. We have both been stonewalled.

I posted a Bra Adventure on July 30, 2014, about the construction error in my 65F Ewa Michalak MP Truskawki z malinami. I wanted to warn everyone Ewa Michalak’s Facebook fit advice about the MP was incorrect where gore height is concerned. That fit advice has since been deleted from their Facebook page. My Bratabase entry has been corrected to reflect my bra is the S style.

As you can see from my S Truskawki z malinami’s measurements, its center gore is typical for an S bra. It is about 2.5” high, an inch higher than 3D gores. This is my fit issue with this bra, as there is no space between my breasts once you get above the 1.5” mark.

Other than that, this bra fits well in 65F without the removable pads Ewa includes to correct asymmetry. This bra fits much like my six 65F 3D bras (Szafirek, Trapez, Szykus, Satine, Karmelki, Pieprzyk). The S Truskawki z malinami does not have the significantly higher coverage cups and lower than usual sides of the 3D Bambino, a bra I gave away.

The S Truskawki z malinami's materials are all soft and attractive, as in my Pl Onyks. I love the juicy color. No grayed, pasteled, toasted, or muted color here. The texture of the outside of the cups reminds me very much of the outside cup texture of the Pl Onyks. The padding is similar, too. It feels very plush but a tad thicker than that in my 3Ds. This padding resembles in thickness that of my Pl Onyks. The cups are lined with cotton, as usual in an Ewa Michalak bra.

The hook and eye area is normal and comfortable. Nothing is scratchy or rough. The last few 3Ds I've gotten have been so poorly finished, I have to wear a cotton pad beneath the hook/eye area of four of them. Several hand washings in Forever New, followed by air drying, have not resolved the issue.

In a serendipitous coincidence, the Bratabaser who received an MP, instead of the S she had ordered, received a 65F. At least Ewa Michalak got that right. As her MP is too shallow for her, and I’m willing to risk excessive cleavage in it, we are exchanging bras. Thanks to Jj’s generosity, even our shipping will be reimbursed. We will each receive the right bra, no thanks to Ewa Michalak.

[Bratabaser vesela_krava, in response to my Bra Adventure plea, kindly offered to translate the text of an email I wanted to send Ewa Michalak into Polish. My lengthy email was calm and thorough, making it clear I wasn’t seeking a refund or reimbursement to ship the bra back. I merely sought confirmation of their error so I could purchase another MP and get an actual MP. When several days had passed and no one replied to my three emails (twice sent directly from my personal email account to sklep@ewa-michalak.pl and once embedded in the Contact Form on their website), vesela_krava emailed and phoned them repeatedly on my behalf. She is a native Polish speaker. She *finally* got through to someone on the phone, not Dominik, who admitted they had sent the wrong bra! I mention this so you all know vesela_krava is like an angel, but with more bra knowledge.]

This bra is not owned any more
