Read reviews

  1. OMG Where have you been my whole life?! This bra is FABULOUS!
    I'm so glad the reviews were not all hype.
    Very comfortable. There's no digging, no sagging, no spillage and the uplift and proJECTION!!!! Well, they are just to die for!
    I really can't say enough good things about it. I only wish it came in other colors. At least a nude... then it would be my PERFECT bra.
    I'm so happy I'm giddy & my daughter, who got my into all this fitting/bra stuff, is very jealous.
    Bottom line... I will save my money and only buy these bras! (well... I may continue to look, lol)

    60L

    Didn't fit

    Another EM bra that I had to take some good altering to wear. The straps were of course unwearable with how much I had to tighten them and how much they dug into my arms, but once that was fixed, it's one of my favorite bras!

    The band runs true for a 28/60 band, the gore and wire width and height is of average for a bra that's not been graded properly, and the cups are sturdy for the size that I am. The straps are too thin and I swapped them out for the comfort straps[that I shortened to my needs] and it made all the difference. It runs larger than the 60L PL Lilia that I have by about two cups but I think is a true to size 60L otherwise.

    Wires were a touch narrow for me, found I was falling to the center and quad-boobing a bit and I usually wear a Plunge style. Band was generously stretchy - could easily wear it on the smallest hook and it was a bit loose for my taste.

    85G

    Didn't fit

    I love the simple black padded plunge with multiway straps- you can do racerback, halter, regular, etc. I also love padding for modesty. This bra comes with removable foam pads that insert to pockets for more lift if desires, or to correct asymmetry, which I love.

    The bra gives a nice , projected, round and up front shape.

    Unfortunately, this bra is too big for me...I think I would do better in an 80G to 80FF. So I am not sure what I can generalize about the fit... In this size I get nice projection, but gapping up where the strap meets the cup. ... Also the straps (not the wires but the straps) kind of cut in to my armpits- they are just too wide there for my shape. I hope in a different size with the scaling the cups wouldn't be as tall- I have short roots in height.

    I have tried the CH in this size also, the PL is much taller in the sides so I gap a bit more. But the PL is much better at hiding my asymmetry, even without the added pads. The projection is more in the PL, but there is too much space on top- like it wants a little more upper fullness than the CH needs. Obviously, lower gore in the PL, better for V neck tops etc

    Thinking about keeping it despite the bigness because of the adjustability, until I can get my hands on one that works better?...or should I sell it and move on...decisions.

    65GG

    Fits

    The PL Onyks is the best fitting bra I have ever tried and is pretty much perfect for me. This is the first Ewa Michalak bra I have purchased and I was fortunate enough to have ordered it in the correct size (postage to Australia is quite dear at AU$23). The size calculator on the Ewa Michalak website calculated me to be a 65G but I ordered the 65GG because my measurements correspond to this size on the website's size chart.

    I feel the construction of this bra is almost perfect for me and it solves some difficult bra fitting problems I often experience. It features:
    * Projected cups, as ... opposed to shallow cups, which means the cups have enough room for me, especially at the bottom where they are perfectly filled.
    * Shorter cups as opposed to taller cups; they cover less of the chest and do not rub under my arms.
    * A low (and narrow enough) centre gore, so for me the wires do not rest on breast tissue. I wouldn't mind a lower and/or narrower gore but this is really the best I have come across.
    * A stretchy yet supportive band. My ribcage comfortably measures 28 inches and this band is comfortable and allows me room to breathe.
    * Stretchy, supportive and comfortable straps. No matter how firm the band on a bra, I always get a lot of support from the straps and these straps do the job very well.

    Moreover, this bra is extremely comfortable. I cannot stress that enough. I find myself mentally comparing this bra to the black Freya Deco I own (which was previously my best fitting bra), but for me, the PL Onyks is well above and beyond the Deco as far as both fit and comfort are concerned.

    I think the wires in this bra are quite rigid and I can feel them against my sternum but they don't really dig in and they seem to be becoming more comfortable the longer I wear the bra. The only problem I have (and this seems to be a common problem) is that the comfort straps do not adjust to be short enough for me. I may try to alter them but in all honesty, the regular straps are comfortable enough. I'd also like to note that when the bra arrived there was a slight pull of some sort on the cup but it is hardly noticeable and I do not feel it affects the quality of the bra.

    Ordering this bra was well worth the risk. It looks and feels wonderful. I am very happy with this purchase and I think Ewa Michalak makes lovely bras; I look forward to trying more in the future.

    This is great for my fob, narrow, projected self. Could probably go up a cup size though, and maybe down a band. The band is quite stretchy. The cups are almost narrow enough. This is the first bra that doesn't wrinkle at all in the bottom of the cups for me. Starting to quad-boob on my larger side, though.

    I like this bra, the band is tight compared with my pl milady in the same size, so when I wear it with an extender it fits. I also have a pl onyks in the next size that is too big, 60H, and the band on that one fits without an extender. Just difficult to know what size the band is going to be.

    Didn't fit

    Another fine quality offering from Ewa Michalak. In this size range, the bra cup is made of four parts- three vertical sections with an angled section on top. The bra isn't really a true plunge owing to the height of the gore, but more of a plunge balcony. It has 3 rows of 4 columns of hooks. It comes with 'push-up' pads to correct asymmetry or provide a bit of an extra boost.

    The bra is designed to be multi-way and comes with a few different sets of straps with hooks. It's possible to wear it in the regular configuration, as a crossover, or a halterneck. It's not designed ... to be strapless, however I think with a very firm band and a supportive top, you may find it possible to wear it without the straps. I found though that the hooks hadn't really been designed with the weight of very large breasts in mind and so the straps had a tendency to detach themselves unexpectedly during wear.

    I feel as though this is probably the size that the Polish fit school would suggest for me, and it's okay as a fashion bra, but the cups are too tall to provide any real support on my high-set, short-rooted breasts, and the straps are too wide-set. I found also wearing the bra as a crossover was a bit better for strap placement, but the consequence was that there was a lot of puckering in the back of the band and that it meant that the full weight of my breasts was being held up by the thin strip of elastic at the base of the bra, which is exceptionally painful for any real duration of time.

    I wasn't fussed on the super round shape which the bra gave me, and feel that spherical breasts are a bit comical in my size, but that's really a matter of preference. I also would think if the cups were the right height and not pulled forward, the bra would in fact be too small for me to wear without significant cutting in.

    The wires were a bit too wide for me, but certainly far narrower than most other offerings around this size range.

    The design of the bra is basic, but quite attractive. The buttons on the gore change it from being a plain bra to a more visually appealing one.

    I think that the Onkys could be quite nice even in the very large cup sizes if you have broad shoulders and breasts without too much centre fullness which aren't too high on your chest. I feel as though I'll never find a correct size in the PL cut for me personally, but I do think that it's a bra which would work on others.

    The bra was much too small so I am unable to give a full review. But a great stylish option for that black bra every woman needs in their wardrobe.

    Me: soft, FOB, empty on top

    I ordered this in 2 sizes and kept the other one, so see my review for the 65E. This bra was 1 cup size too large - there was a gap of about a centimeter at the top. Otherwise, it seemed to fit the same.
