Didn't fit

Thank you to marilynne for letting me try this new cut before buying it myself!

I wore this quite a bit, and I mostly liked it. The cups are narrow and deep, and I love how low the gore is. I have relatively soft tissue, and my breasts are moderately center full; I was sure I would fall out of this at some point during the day, but I didn't! It is a testament to Ewa's competency as an engineer.

I'm pretty broad-shouldered and don't usually have the issue of Ewa's straps being too wide set for me. That said, I love the option of crossing the straps to alleviate that problem for those that do struggle with them. I did briefly try the straps crossed, and while I would like that on a swimsuit, I did not care for it in a bra. I have sensitive spots along my traps, and crossing the straps puts them right on those pressure points. That's a pass from me on long-term wearability.

I also loved that the clasp was 3x4. Bras in this size range rarely have such a robust clasp, and that's a shame. While not particularly sexy looking, it does wonders for dispersing tension more evenly across the band and improves comfort. I really would like to see it on more bras in my size. I can get that from Comexim, but this is the first Ewa to have it in my size other than a strapless.

I did get some wrinkling in the bottom of the cup, and in addition, the top of the wires of the awesomely low gore happened to dig into my ribs painfully. That digging is a dealbreaker for me. Coupled with the cup issue, I'm curious if a 65G may fit me better. However, I'm high set and short-rooted, so I think a cup up will be too tall for me in the cups and may not resolve the issues I had with the bra.

Overall, the cut is pretty good. While the issues I mentioned are reasons for me to abstain from a bra, I'm more tolerant of them in a swimsuit. I may jump on this cut for that purpose and grab the PLM Sunshine.

This bra is not owned any more
