I ordered this bra directly from Ewa Michalak, and it didn't take as long to ship as they said it would, def not a month! But it is always worth the wait from EM! This bra is SO MUCH prettier in person, and the bright red (almost pink) color is so vibrant, and the Navy Blue trim stands out much more, and doesn't look as black as it does in photos. Overall, I think it fits ok, but I feel like I can get a much better fit if I could just figure out my size in Polish bras!

I normally wear a 28G (sometimes 28FF depending), and figured the sister size to that, 30FF (65FF), would work just as well. And I was honestly too scared to order a band size down and do a 60 cuz I was worried it would be too tight. But the band on this is very stretchy. Straight out of the box, the band measured 21" (I thought perfect) BUT stretched to about 31"! I was pretty shocked, I thought it would be much tighter. Needless to say, with my 26/27" underbust I had to immediately hook it on the tightest setting. But so far it seems to be doing the trick, it hasn't started to ride up my back yet. It feels pretty secure and snug. The straps are somewhat thin and placed a bit too far out but it's not completely bothersome. I did have a bit of a hard time adjusting the straps to make them tighter. The gore tacks perfectly and is quite comfy for my close-set boobs (almost always a problem with taller gores or anything that isn't a plunge style). The cups come up just high enough to cover my nipples, and I could prob order a size up in the cup but they're so open on top I was worried they would gape. I'm not too crazy about the material of the cup, it's like a crunchy, crinkly foam. But they look nice so I might just have to break it in.

But I would recommend not just this bra but Ewa Michalak in general! Something about her bras, even when it isn't a perfect fit, that makes the girls look awesome! Great lift, decent cleavage AND super comfy!!

This bra is not owned any more

• That bra looks fantastic on you. I am the same underbust as you, but about an inch smaller overbust. So, I have kind of been stalking you :) I just ordered my first EW bra as well and had exactly the same hesitation you had regarding band size. What do you make of their online size calculator?

  Aw thank you. Lol! I tried their online size calculator and it was WAY off, put me at a 65E! That would be entirely too small, I don't understand how they calculate it. But I just went with my UK equivalent (or sister size actually). I normally wear a 28G but was worried the 60 band would be too tight so I ordered the 30FF (65FF) and the cups seem to fit nicely but the band is super stretchy on this!!

• Well, I am new to all of this and I am finding your reviews and comments extremely helpful. So I thank you for that! It is amazing to realize I haven't had a well fitting bra in my thirty years of wearing bras!! But hey, better late than never :)

  Seriously, thanks for your thoughtful and thorough reviews. It really helps a newbie like me!!

• Aw you're welcome. I'm pretty new to all this myself! And just recently discovered my TRUE size. Thanks to this site I've learned so much! And I'm so glad I can give back now and help other women :) I can't believe I actually used to wear a 34 band! That's almost 10" larger than my actual size!!

  But so far, I am in love with Ewa Michalak!! Her bras are amazing! The designs/styles are fun and sexy, and you can get the support and proper fit of a "big girl" bra without looking like you raided your grandma's underwear drawer! Lol! EM bras are a bit pricey, but honestly, I've spent more money on a Victoria Secret bra that wouldn't even compare to this! I don't think I can ever spend $68 on another VS bra now, knowing I can get a EM bra hand-sewn for the same price! And get a MUCH better fit!
