    Didn't fit

    The FB Bezowy is a fuller coverage balcony bra with a 4-piece cup, plus an extra small fabric triangle joining to the strap. The straps are fully adjustable and the bra fastens with 4 columns of 3 rows of hooks.

    The FB cut has been especially designed for larger busts and this is reflected in some of the features of the bra. The bra is described as 'semi-soft' on the Ewa Michalak website, and the lower 3 sections of the cup (plus the triangle) seem to be made of the same sort of stretchy silky fabric used in BM cut bras fused with some kind of stabilising mesh. The ... upper cup section is made of a layer of decorative stretch lace with stretch mesh behind it to suit a variety of breast shapes and hold the upper part of the breast in. The lower section of the cup seems to mostly hold its own shape when pushed out. The straps are made of the fabric which I know from prior experience will warp and fold in on itself if left to its own devices, but the bra came with a set of silicone strap pads (these seem to just be standard commercially available pads but were included as part of the price). Hopefully these should prevent the painful folding of the straps during wear. The bottom of the bra where there'd usually be visible elastic sewn onto the cradle and wings instead appears to have a thicker and sturdier kind of elastic encased between two layers of fabric, probably to help prevent heavy breasts and round tummies from causing the elastic to roll under and dig in. The wires seem to be somewhat sturdier and taller than other bras from Ewa Michalak which I've tried, but are certainly not as firm and tall as those found in a Panache bra. All in all, I can see why this bra has a higher price point than other EM cuts with the high quality design features and specialised materials.

    The appearance of the bra reminds me very much of the 75K - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Bianka (532) which I own, only it's a peachy beige colour instead of white. It's a pretty design, but in my opinion not as beautiful as some of EM's other designs. The colour seems to be quite a good match to my skin tone (fair with warm undertones). It blends in just fine under a t-shirt (which is why I picked this colour).

    Regarding the fit, I wasn't really sure what to expect as this is a brand new cut and there's very little information about it so far, but I can give my initial impressions. I chose this size because it was the smallest size available via the drop-down, and I didn't wish to purchase a bra I couldn't return if it was a very poor size. It's not terrible, but there's still some fit quirks.

    To me, it seems as though the sizing on this bra fits in reasonably well with the BM cut (but as the overlap in sizing between the styles is very small, I cannot imagine this will be hugely helpful to most people). The band is quite firm, completely unlike the usual bands on EM bras, but as my ideal band size in EM seems to currently be a 65, the band does seem to not sit as firmly against my body as I'd like (I've indicated that the back rides up, but with me, it tends to be the front of the bra riding down).

    My breasts are fairly narrow, roughly even in fullness, very full (which is problematic in the centre mostly) and extremely short rooted. The bra wrinkles quite a lot at the base of the cup, but the gore doesn't tack and I find that I have a slight bulge where the stretch lace joins the rest of the cup. The gore is a bit higher than I'd ideally like, but thankfully not so high as to be likely to protrude from a medium-height neckline. Despite the not tacking gore, I still cannot fill the upper corners of the cups. Based on the cup depth and height, I suspect that this bra is designed for a far more vertical distribution of breast tissue than my root height will allow, meaning that the base of the cup is too shallow for my breasts to get in, and my apex needs more depth than the centre of the cup allows.

    The straps on the bra are too far apart, but this is sadly so normal for me that I've basically ceased to care. Slightly more irritating is the fact that the armpit of the bra comes up much too high for my small frame and high-set breasts, meaning that it rubs under my arm.The wires are a bit wider than I'd like, but don't appear to be painful.

    I think that this bra cut probably would work better on someone with a larger frame size than myself and on someone who has a more average root height.

    Edit: After some wear, I can say that this bra is definitely far more comfortable and supportive than other bras I have tried in this size range. I reduced the height of the cup, and I experimented with moving in the gore, but found that the extra space in the centre opened up the top of the cup too much so while I no longer bulged there, it compromised support and ended up reversing that alteration. The straps are weak and dig in by themselves, unless I loosen them off all the way, but with the included strap pads (which are great and I wear them with all my bras if my wardrobe allows), are quite comfortable and supportive at an appropriate length. The band design is amazingly comfortable, and unlike my other bras won't dig in during everyday activities (unless I really slouch). The cups are strong enough to hold everything up and don't distort even after a long day's wear. I think that this cut is well worth the higher price point and could be a good option for people in this size range with narrow-medium breast roots (it would be even better if you were a bit taller and broader than myself).

      Thanks for such a thorough review! I think the comparison to BM is useful for ppl who have outgrown the BMs but wore them previously. It looks a lot like my BM Perla. It does look like its maybe a cup size too big for you, though. And yes, much too tall

    • Yes this is a fantastically detailed review, thank you! I wonder if altering the gore to narrow its base and thus rotate the cups slightly would help at all? It might open up a little more volume near the gore and enable it to tack and contain that last bit of center fullness, perhaps?

    • EM specifically says not tacking is acceptable in this cut, I think? and from the pics, I'd say the armpit attack is a bigger problem

    • 1

      wendybien taking in the gore and reducing the height of the bra at the armpit are on my to-do list. I generally find that taking in the gore area makes bras more comfortable to wear (though I suspect I may face a small challenge trying to stitch through 2 layers of elastic and 4 of fashion fabric). I appreciate the challenge in trying to allow the sort of centre depth needed for a very large cup size, but I still keep hoping someone will get it right!

      dbmamaz It does look quite a lot like your BM Perla! I'll probably never get a textbook fit in a bra because of the proportions of my breasts. They're super full and projected, but their root height is a bit shorter than their width, which over the full projection of my breasts leads to a ~6-8cm disparity between my horizontal and vertical breast perimeters when wearing a bra (I could actually fill a bra better which is even deeper and shorter than this, but they're not made), whereas bra manufacturers assume these two figures are roughly identical. If I get a bra which I can fill to the top, I'm having to shove myself back into the bra from the top or the bottom all the time, which can be frustrating (I've finally got some pics of me in 30KK - Bravissimo » Alana (AU01) so you can see what I mean), or I have to choose sizes which look large on me out of the box, but will contain everything and I tend to remove a bit of the excess fabric at the top of the bra. It's bad enough finding anything in the right cup volume for me, so I take the opportunities I can. To decide if the FB is really a tall cut or not, we'll need to wait for some other reviews!

    • pics arent up yet on the alana, but hopefully soon. as much as I envy women who can fit a 32F or something (and scoff at them calling themselves busty) I am grateful that I HAVE found a few bras that basically fit. I need to do a thorough review of the S Eden I just got - in a day or two I'll have time - but its slightly small I think.

    • 1

      Scoff all you want, another mom at the pool called me "as voluptuous as that" just this afternoon hahaha! And I can usually fit a 32F these days.
      I definitely don't FEEL very busty since I'm down like 4 cup sizes from before. But it's all relative. Plus I am all projection so I suppose I may look bigger than I am.
      The 12 inch and above size range seriously needs some design innovation as does the tiny band and large cup range. Underwires have been around how long now? There has to be more that can be done!

    • Haha women who look voluptous to me usually have lovely, curvy hips and enough bust to balance that out. I have minimal hips and no ass.

      But the "problems of busty dressing" posts leave me sad because they are mostly aimed around F cups. I hate reminders that I'm such a total freak . . er, uh . outlier. Like in school I hated getting the best scores on tests all the time. I just wanted to be like everyone else. Ok, not going to happen, but still.

    • You mean on here? The busty dressing bloggers I think of first are Curvy Wordy or Holly from The Lingerie Addict. Definitely not F or even close.

    • Uh, Hourglassy. And other random google ones. Hourglassy has one JJ blogger but the last i remember seeing from her was her pointing out how much the jacket that main woman was raving about did NOT flatter her at all. I think you told me the main blogger there had lost a lot of weight and so used to be bigger?

      I dont like Lingerie Addict's clothes much either tho. She seems to mostly wear 1 or 2 small companies that make like 3 things? and she never links to them? idk. Tight dresses are not my friend at all. I"m not hourglassy. I'm rectangle with bulges in the bust and the middle.

    • The JJ blogger on Hourglassy had a bunch of reviews at one point andthen they kind of tapered off, it was too bad.

    • But yeah, the hourglass shape domination of this segment is almost total, if not actually total. Much more so than the F or under demographic.

    • The body acceptance movement seems pretty hourglass dominated too - its a lot harder to love an apple

    • Just thought of this, and she's not an apple exactly, but Cakes on a Plate is the only one who is def. not an hourglass, as she has very straight hips for her frame.

      Oddly enough the fashion-for-everyone, What Not to Wear type blogs have lots more material on a range of body shapes.

      There is also a lot of crossover between the body acceptance movement's preferred fashion aesthetic, and retro/vintage/rockabilly/pinup fashion. The latter trend being mainly inspired by fashions of the late 1940s to the early 60s, which was all hourglass all the time, you get a lot of those fashions.

      When I did those calculators I came out as rectangle, but the belly is so huge I feel like an apple thats just lucky to be camouflaged by big boobs. Even shirts that fit fairly well fall down from my breasts - not the end of my breasts, but about halfway in from the bottom. So the result is my boobs look smaller than they are and my ribcage looks much bigger than it is and the enormity of my belly is camouflaged.

      and sorry we are totally off topic on this review . . .

    Hasn't set fit

    Expanding my FB collection, as this cut is the most comfortable for me these days, despite the cups being slightly too large.

    This band is not too large tho - a 75 that doesnt even stretch to 32! This one will definitely be worn with an extender for a while. The last one that needed an extender stretched out past that need in maybe 2 months, so not too bad.

    Excited to have a basic beige bra again - occasionally they seem to come in handy. Very reminiscent of my BM perla which i was so sad to outgrow.

    • This lace is one of my favorites. It's the nicest beige around.

    • Oooh- so pretty!

      Ok, just noticed, while putting this in the wash, that it only has 3 columns of eyes instead of 4 - maybe thats why its so darn tight!

    I like that the cups fit (other than the very top). The band is the correct size, but definitely digs in by the end of the day. The only real issue with this bra is how WIDE the straps are set. They're the painful part.
