My first time trying Ewa Michalak and I have not been disappointed! My shape is projected, full on top and centre with narrow & tall roots. Soft tissue and extremely close-set breasts. I usually take 28F in UK bras but got 65F in this since I heard the band runs small and I was recommended to take a cup size up in the padded styles of EM. The band stretches to 27 inches - it feels a little tight even on my 27-inch underbust so I would recommend to size up for 2 band sizes. As I prefer not to use cookies, my smaller boob occasionally gaps during ... some parts of my cycle but it is perfect to wear before/during periods. The bra is very supportive with deep & narrow cups and a low & narrow gore. The cups are also open on top. The strap is a bit flimsy though, but that's okay because most of the support should come from the band. As the cups are projected, it is also a little bit pointy. Since I prefer a rounder shape, I might try a 3D next time.

I've now joined the many others who tried Ewa for the first time thanks to kate166. I really really like this. The band runs way small, and so I can't in good conscience say it fits because I need an extender. But it feels great to wear regardless. I've grown to appreciate the snugness of a true 28 band and with the extender it feels just about right. Works as advertised, pushes tissue front and center. A better push-up than any of my actual push-ups if I'm honest lol. I can feel the wires are soft and narrow as is apparently typical of Ewa. Low gore makes my sternum happy. I don't seem to quite fill the top of the cup and I'm still not sure if that's due to short roots or lack of top fullness or both. It's hardly noticeable and I ignore it, but I do wear a cookie on my smaller side just to be safe.
