  Ewa did a fit customization?? What!!?!?! Unheard of.

  Anyways, this looks beautiful on you. Perfect shape & I love the color. I love the BM bras, I wish her prices hadn’t gone up. I also wish i could get one of these mythical looser bands people are talking about lately. My 65 band Fluo has no stretch & is so tight.

• 1

  The bras fit really well but the straps were so so short it was giving me severe neck pain. I still wear the Fluo, but just cannot deal with the Blueberry straps. I explained the situation to them and they agreed to make them longer on my remaining orders, thankfully. They were about to ship them too but held off in order to make alteration. Kaska is a champion that she sorted this out for me!

  And I really really think they are making bands looser now. I do have a Fluo in 70FF as well and it is considerably tighter than either of the bras I received today (or the SF I got). I'm talking like, these fit like true 70s, the Fluo fits more like a 65 on me.

  It is also very possible the prices have gone up because of some new tax laws in Poland I heard about. In Eastern Europe in general the prices (of pretty much everything) have skyrocketed.
  I do think it's unfair that she charges for Paypal fees as it's against Paypal ToS. On top of that, she also charges Paypal fees for the tax which is also against ToS. But alas.

• I'm glad she lengthened the straps for you! It looks beautiful.
  Have you considered reporting Ewa to paypal? If she clearly doing things against there ToS then she should be reported...but then again...knowing Ewa she'd just likely hike the prices up even more given her terrible attitude.

• Eh I would personally not report for something like that, mainly because if it really bothered me then I would simply not get bras from them...

• I have reported Ewa to PayPal. They didn’t seem to care.

• Unfortunately I don’t have any other options for bras that fit well & I really can’t afford her anymore. The price after all her taxes & fees is beyond what I can really justify.

• That is completely understandable. For me it's a little easier cause I pay way less for shipping.
  Is it any cheaper to get the bras at US stores that carry EM or are they still too much?

• I know it's a bit odd to throw this comment in here, but it's nice to see you back around lcl0706 !

  I live in the US as well and while there are few places to buy Ewas bras here, I find it's impossible for me to get custom sizing through them and they mostly offer VERY large cup bras and not too many small bands. I know a couple rave about how good some of them are at ordering custom sizes for you and responding to emails I've never gotten a respond to any of my emails to any of the sellers of Ewa bras in the US.

• Did you try Jaimie at Bra Obsessed (I know it's Canada but close enough!)

• Yeah, she was the first one i tried. It's actually cheaper for me to shop out of Canada because it'll be 100$, but since my dollars are US it'll only cost me 80$. I think I might try again sometime soon though, everyone on here is too busty for me to buy their old Ewa bras! lol XD

• Levana Bratique is US based and Judy is super nice. She has a good size range and it's not significantly more expensive than ordering from Ewa direct. I think it was like $7 more for me to get a set from her rather than Poland. She also has a lot in stock, so it potentially eliminates the wait.

• Don't forget Broad Lingerie and Forever Yours in Canada also sell Ewa. Though I am not sure what the custom options would be for them. I have emailed with Sam and she has been great. I just lack the money to get anything from her or the other shops.

  That's such a shame, and shows how photos can be deceiving cause it looks great on you.
  That being said, the bottom of BMs is never stretchy (and Kaska will make sure to tell you so), only the top lace. I will check my Baklazan but I do recall thinking Baklazan and Rubin both have a more rigid construction in the bottom than my Fluo or Bibi Black. I will get back to you with that.

• 1

  Calluna you made a good call with the 65FF!!!!

• brasaremean thanks! I am a little devastated because I ordered a Rubin and a la Gloria in 65F during the BF sale. I might cry.

• 1

  How is the band fit upside down and backwards, so your breasts are not in the cup? The band might be too big and your boobs are taking up space in it, making it feel tight.

• 1

  Rubin and La Gloria (by my measurements) both have a little wider cups which makes up for them being shallow at the bottom. Idk if it's a size thing but hopefully they fit better!
  That being said, Rubin *is* my fav BM, simply because the tulle on top adapts so well to breast shape! Even when it should be quadding it doesn't because it's just so well done.

• Sovavosi The band feels okay upside and backwards. I think it is a cup problem. You can also see in the photos that the bottom of the cup looks relatively flat and unfilled. Its such a weird shape

• Thanks brasaremean maybe they won't be such a terrible fit.

• 1

  Gotta stay positive ;)

• 1

  brasaremean all in the name of bra science. I guess if they don't fit me, they will fit someone else here.

• Oh, too bad you didn’t get a great fit. It is such a beautiful bra! Although your review makes me worry about the one I’m getting...

• Wilderness1 I am hoping that this is just a fluke fit. Maybe this particular BM is shallower than others?

• 1

  Maybe the rogue seamstress strikes again!

• rachaelll I tried a La Gloria in a cup size too small - 65F - and had zero problems sinking down into it. And, as I think you know, I need major projection at the wire. I'm hoping you'll be fine with yours when it comes.
  It's a shame this one doesnt fit. It's beautiful and cour is great on you.

• It does look shallow from the sides, very beautiful though. Too bad it doesn't fit.

• It looks gorgeous on you, so sorry it's less than ideal of a fit. :-(

  @Sovavosi I agree, our rouge seamstress strikes again!! ;-P

• MamaPagan do you think it would be worth trying one size up?

• rachaelll My answer is always yes, it is worth it, as you'll never know if you don't try. That being said, it would greatly depend on how much you like the bra. Is it worth the expense to you if the results don't yield a perfect fit? Do you feel that you can easily sell this one, and the size up, if it doesn't fit, for an amount that would compensate the cost, or enough that you don't feel like you're throwing money away? Or woyld it be one you could happily hold on to as a backup, for any unforeseen size changes that occur? Are the fit issues minimal enough to you that you feel sizing up a cup will resolve them? There are a lot of pros and cons to consider.

  To me, I love the bra (such a gorgeous shade of purple!) and I love the BM style as it is my favorite. So if mine was too small, yes I would buy it again in the size up. But I am also very familiar with how the BM style typically fits me, and the rouge variants that can arise in my range, so it is much easier for me to confidently gamble with the fit. If it was my first BM, I would be more hesitant, and would most likely wait for the next BM new release sale to test out the fit and sizing at a cheaper price instead. That's just me though.

  What does your intuition tell you?

• I do wonder why it's so shallow at the wire in that size when both mine and MamaPagan seem to have a lot of depth at the wire :/

• 1

  MamaPagan I was lucky enough to buy this BM from Forever Yours - a Canadian bra store that stocks EM. I've emailed them to see if I can exchange it for a 65FF. So it may be possible that I can try a larger size without incurring any additional costs. This would be 100% ideal. I would like to try a larger size to see if the fit issues can be resolved. I do want to see if it is possible for me to achieve the coveted round shape that many bratabase ladies yet from the BM.

• 1

  brasaremean I am hoping that this was a one-off and that this is not how all BMs fit in this size range. Fingers crossed it is just a case of a rogue seamstress.

• 1

  Fingers crossed a size up is a perfect fit!

• brasaremean Depth at my size is a given, so not really comparable unfortunately, but I do get what you mean. Mine measured at the higher end of the cup range for my size, so @rachaelll's experience appears to be the opposite. I know both yours and mine had a lot of nice stretch to the tops as well, which also sounds like it's lacking on this one. I say Sovavosi nailed it with the rouge seamstress. Maybe they used a wider wire, lessening the immediate projection?

  @rachaelll That would be ideal so hopefully she has one to exchange. Fingers crossed that it works out!!

• This looks so beautiful. Sorry about the fit.

• Though my Cabernet is also shallow so maybe there is something up with the sizing in our size range??

• 1

  Sorry to read that this isn't as perfect as you were hoping. I would suggest trying one of the Bibi BM's if you can (the beige, white, black, or red), because those are only a single layer of stretchy knitwear for the bottom of the cups, and I find it much more forgiving for bottom fullness. (I own the beige one, plus literally four other BM's, so take a browse through my reviews to compare if you want).

• 1

  sherrach898 thank you for the advice! I actually have a Black Bibi in 60FF on the way from Broad that I am very nervous about. I hope it is a better fit. I will check out your reviews :)

• rachaelll you might be able to do the BM Bibi Black in a 60FF as that style reportedly fits bigger in the cups than the others.

• Calluna I hope so!! I am so sad about the fit of this bra. I had such high hopes for it.

• I understand. Completely. I’m kinda in the same boat. My Cabernet is comfortable and looks good, although it is not quite as round as I was expecting it to be (although I knew that it was a little bit more natural shaped) and I have wrinkles at the wire. It’s so beautiful and soft and I love the stretch lace, but I’m not sure if it’s really the best fit for me. I have been wearing it all day today for the first time, so I’ll be able to see the wire marks and how close they match my root. I’m trying to figure out what is causing this. Is it the size? Is it my boob shape and type? Is it a rogue bra or style? I know that the review of the 60FF also mentioned that it was shallow, so maybe it’s really just the cutbacks

• Cutbacks = cut.

• 1

  Calluna its so hard to know whether or not the BMs we have are typical for the size range. There are limited data, photos and reviews in the smaller sizes, so it's hard to know whether or not the shallowness is typical or atypical. The reviews that I did find, like the ones done by sherrach898 don't mention any similar problems and in fact, seem very positive about the cut.
  However, I do know that the fit of this particular BM is untenable for me - there is just no projection at the wire. Forever Yours is out of stock of all their BMs in 65FF, so I'm not sure what to do next. I did see one in stock at Brava, but am wary of shelling out another $100 for a bra that might not be the right shape. However, it does strike me as significant that both of us are having similar problems with shallowness, even though we have different shapes and sizes (with me being slightly smaller). Perhaps there were some changes to the pattern in the smaller sizes with the new BM models.

• Broad just got their La Glorias and FY has that and Rubin which know does not help since you have the same ones in 65F coming already. Have you checked out Levana Bratique yet?

• I’m quite interested to see how the 70E Baklazan fits lcl0706. She should have hers soon.

• 1

  rachaelll i think this is a typical 65F BM & I think it’s too small on you. Lovely color, makes me excited to pick mine up today.

• 2

  lcl0706 thanks! So, do you think I would get a better fit in a 65FF? I hope yours is perfect. The colour of the lace is heavenly.

• 1

  rachaelll yeah I think a 65FF would be better. Idk if you have firm or soft tissue, but if it’s firm it’s less likely to quad at the stretch lace or over the tops of the cups - but yet you can tell you look & feel very compressed in this bra. I think it’s your new reviews I was reading through yesterday & thinking everything looked like 1/2 cup too small.

  I’m so glad this bra is as purple as it is. It was hard to tell on Ewas site. Purple is my fave color & ive yet to find a purple bra that really fits! I’m also glad to know your 65 only stretches to 27” - I need a band to hit 29” before I’m comfortable in it, glad I went with the 70. Sounds ridiculous that I need to order a 32 band so I can be sure it stretches to 29”, thanks Ewa.

• 1

  Those were my reviews! This has been a very sad weekend of bra fails. Everything I ordered came int too small - except for the 60G CHP that fits perfectly. I must have experienced some growth over the past month or so, or I have terrible luck. Fingers crossed that your 70E is a perfect 29".

• 2

  lcl0706 I can only hope that someone else on bratabase ordered a 65FF BM in the black Friday sale and wants to swap for a 65F.

• 1

  rachaelll I ordered 3 BMs (omg, I know. So bad) and I'm on the cusp between 65FF and 65G so we will see... wink

• 2

  AprilGoulding - I'm your girl if you need to sell them off :)

• 1

  AprilGoulding Im interested in 65FF aswell! ;) Which one did you order?

• 2

  rachaelll BronteBeach Antonina, Fluo and Wersal.
  Also SM Wanillia, HM Sekret Wiktori and S Pralinowy.
  I went on a spree #newboobssyndrome

• 1

  shotgun for antonina in case it doesnt fit you! :D I got it in 65F but it was too small (and also bis too loose :/ )

• 1

  oh and I know this syndrome! :D I put on weight and got up one cup size and I'm all back in this feeling that I had after sergery! (especially because I always wanted a "G" cup (no idea why) and now I got it :D :)) )

• 1

  Oh I meant 60G (so still interested in the 65FF) haha
  (sorry cannot edit^^

• 1

  BronteBeach I bought two padded 65FF EM bras (one PL and one S) that were slightly too big for me. The band on both was very firm. I usually need a 60, and I found these to be perfect. If you are interested - they are listed. I would be happy to pass them on to you.

• 1

  AprilGoulding that sounds like a dream haul! I've been lusting after the Wersal and Fluo forever. Please give us all the details when they arrive!!!

• I might be interested in the Wersal if it doesn’t work. I looked at it but it’s out of my budget for now.

• 2

  Curious about how the Secret Wictori is going to fit AprilGoulding

• 1

  @rachaelli at the moment only BM fits me right :/ S never fit me and pl is just uncomfortable at the moment :(

• 2

  BronteBeach I completely understand that. I struggle with both cuts as well.

  I'm jealous of how tall the cups are. In the one I got I felt like I need just a teensy tiny bit more to get optimal coverage, but oh well.

  Do you feel like the lace on this one is softer and stretchier and more quad-prone than other EM bras?

• Yes, the lace is super stretchy!
  And yes, in cup quadding could be an issue. You can see in the angled from below photo, the horizontal seam on the cup does cut in, but I don't think it's going to be an issue under clothing though, so I didn't mention it.
  :-)

• 1

  It is not an issue under clothing at all (and it's nowhere near close to the Ellace, like not even in the same neighborhood). I was just surprised she didn't line the lace with the stretchy tulle when it's so soft!

• I have a few that aren't lined, though less stretchy. BM Bibi Black, SF Szaron, SF Royal Blue, all the half lace BMs but none of them are an issue for sure.

• 1

  How do you like Royal Blue? When I was originally looking at SFs that's the one I was gonna get.

• It was my first new Ewa bra (ordered from Zathiya with S XoXo) so it was a 70JJ. When the cups fit, it was great, but the lace is much more fragile than most of Ewa's bras. Ewa saidna solid and firm no to a 60L in that one so I haven't ordered it again since the sister size would be a 60KK and the cups too small.

  That being said, I'd order up if you get it, as mine ran small in comparison *assuming* sister sizing would equate across two bands.

  Since I was transitioning from a 32G/30GG that was several cups too small at the time, the band felt good. :-D

• 1

  Ugh...want so bad. The colour is so beautiful. Though I'm worried about the in cup quadding and coverage. I'm thinking that I would need the 65F over the 65FF but not sure.

  You just need to order them both then, for bra science!! :-D

  If only I had the money. I'm looking at getting a Cabernet from Broad Lingerie so I might be able to try both of the first one doesn't fit.

  Sending well wishing for unexpected wealth your way Calluna <3

• 1

  It's hard right now until my husband's PR card is renewed and he can work again. As it is, it's $125 CAD for the Cabernet if I order from Broad Lingerie unless they have a BF sale. It's a bit more expensive, but it's also a Canadian shop that I can return to if it doesn't fit, which is important for a style that I've never tried. I'm not sure how cheaper it would be to order directly, but I would have to ship to a friend in the states and then to me to avoid DHL. There's just so many charges, that I don't know how much a Baklazan or Porto would be on the end.

• 1

  Did you check with Jaimie at Bra Obsessed? For some bras it only says she has one or two sizes but if you e-mail her and ask she might have more (she only had BM Fioletowy listed in 75F but I emailed her and asked and she had a 70FF which wasn't listed on the website).

  I paid CAD115 with shipping to New Jersey.

• Calluna, no worries! There are plenty of Ewa options for this style regularly, plus the Black Friday sale right is around the corner, so no rush on buying! When you have the funds, something perfect in your size will be available I'm sure. :-)

• 1

  I have not asked Jamie. Not a lot on the site in my size, but I can try to email. Good idea. And yeah, I can wait until I the funds...only, you know...I can't wait. 😂 I need more bras that fit!

• Sorry :-(
