This bra fits great; my only complaint is that the band is a little too big for me. This may be because it is an older model, and I got it used, in combination with Ewa's older models typically having looser bands.

I'm normally about a 65E/60F in Ewa's CH/CHP's, but I think the Ametyst runs a little more like a 70DD. I'd say the cup is pretty true to size, but since this is an older style, it's a teensy more full coverage and less boobs-in-your-chin than some of the newer styles.

Me: soft, FOB, somewhat empty on top

This is finally a half-cup I can wear (with reservations). Please excuse the photos - I realized after uploading that I kind of had the bra on stupid because I was in a hurry - it does fit better than it looks on the sides.

The CHP comes up higher over my breasts than the CH which means it feels more secure. I might, however, size down a cup next time because there is little difference between the two sizes and I think it would improve breast mounding and shape (as I think EM bras look better when a little ... small vs. a little large on my soft breasts).

The band on this one is very stretchy and I am already on the second hooks, but it seems to be holding steady here. Otherwise, the dark wine colored fabric peeking through is very subtle and I like all of the little details EM uses. But for some reason, this bra doesn't feel as high quality as all my others. I still think it quite lovely though.

On the upside, my husband noticed the shape of my breasts immediately, haha. They are very round and forward and look great with a scoopneck top.

I ordered CHP Ametyst with CHP Milady. Theorethically they are twin models, the only differences are the lace covering the cups and the front part of the band, and the colour of the cups underneath. Despite identhical construction, I realised after trying it on that the fit is completely different.

The first and the most important difference is in flexible underwires. They are not resistant enough to give a good support to my breast in my opinion. The cups are not to small, but the center gore sometimes doesn't lay flat against the sternum because it can't support the weight of my breast. As a result, the shape it gives is less rounded in profile.

As in Milady, the band is very stretchy and loose, I have to fasten it on the last hook most of the time.

Put aside all these fit issues, it's still a very beautiful bra.
