Runs tighter than UK 30E. 70DD would have been a better choice in my case - I don't like my bands too tight. I have to use an extender and I hope it will widen up over time. Apart from that, the cups provide good coverage and comfort. The fabric feels a bit scratchy, but only on the outside, so it's not noticable while wearing.
It has two removable pads for asymmetry correction or extra cleavage.
This is such a beautiful bra. The band fits perfectly, although my size now is around 30GG. The cup height is low on me. The pads help filling the bottom of the cups.
I love the Bogini! As I am still trying to pinpoint my correct sizing, I had to use an extender with this bra, but it was comfortable all day. I ordered it in a 80HH, in other EW"s it would seem that I need a 85HH, but the Bogini works really well for me as the cups seem a bit stretchy but still very supportive. I usually have an issue with the underwires digging in at the top of my belly, but this one didn't do that.
So, I think that all of these reviews are for the same bra passed around? You guys, I'm keeping it. I love this bra!
The band is great for my 25 underbust. 28 bands ride up in both the back and front after a while.
I purchased this bra to try a 55 underband from Ewa and to gauge my cup size, but expecting the cups to be a touch too big. The cup fits nearly perfectly! My measurements point to a UK 26DD/E, so I agree these cups must run a little small. There's gaping on my smaller breast, but it is to be expected. The bra ...did not come with the padded inserts, but I do need them for one side.
The straps definitely are wide set. I understand this is a common complaint with Ewa bras. I have the inverted triangle body type, and my shoulders are proportionately broad to my frame. The straps are soft, so even though they are sitting a bit in my armpit, it doesn't cause me any discomfort.
The bra itself is a basic padded beige bra. The material is very soft and comfortable and there is a floral mesh over the cups and gore. Right on the gore is a little bow and jewel detail. It is not a very deep plunge (not sure if it is due to the size), but it does sit below my lower necklines. Read more 129 more words
This bra model in this size is made of a 3 part cup. The straps are fully adjustable and the band fastens with 2 rows of 4 columns of hooks. It comes with removable 'push-up' pads to help with breast asymmetry or add an extra boost. The band on this is super, super tight, only stretching to about 61.5 cm without wire distortion. The material also wasn't as stretchy as many other EM models I've tried. I could get it around my 68cm comfortably firm, 65.5 cm as tight as possible ribcage, but it distorts the cups and wouldn't be comfortable to wear.
The bra cups are all black, but there's a panel on the band with sheer black lace with a beige underlay, making it look like sheer lace on a light skin tone.
The bra in this size is made of a 3 part cup. The straps are partially adjustable and the band fastens with 2 rows of 4 columns of hooks. It comes with removable 'push-up' pads to help with breast asymmetry or add an extra boost. The band on this bra was in line with the length I'd expect for a 55/26 band and the amount of stretchiness in most EM bras.
This bra has beige foam cups with a black lace overlay and the band of the bra is black. I think that if your skin tone was similar to that of the bra cup, it would look like a sheer lace bra. The gore is quite low, as opposed to the sizes I've tried for myself in the PL (60L and 65L), where the bra isn't really a true plunge.
Very pretty bra. I'm normally a 32h/32HH in Panache Cleo bras and this fit nearly perfectly. Its very comfortable on, but unfortunately I am too tall for the bra and the shoulder straps dig in.
Gorgeous, quality, didn't fit me. Cups are a size too big. )= Straps are removable, comes with 3 sets of straps: 2 comfort straps, 2 regular straps, and 1 extra long strap to use for wearing as halter style.
Ultimately not sure if this is the right shape for me, but I'd probably try a 60DD or 55E for a better fit.
Wire width and height on the sides are my biggest challenges in all bras. EM bras have a reputation for narrow, deep cups, but my experience with 3Ds and the Strapless Toffi in 65F made me optimistic. I've tried a couple 3Ds in 65F, and the wires seemed wide enough and also high enough on the sides, as long as I removed the pads. The 65F Strapless Toffi seemed just a bit too small, so I was bulging a little on the sides, but overall cup width seemed okay. I then discovered the 65FF Strapless Black fit quite well.
Anyway, before I found the 65FF Strapless Black was a ...good fit, I bought the 70E Ewa Michalak CHP Femme Fatale from a fellow Bratabaser. I expected it to fit, as long as I removed the pads and fastened it on the tightest hooks. Even wearing it on the tightest hooks, which stretches the wires back, the cups are too narrow. There is an annoying amount of side bulging. With my arms down, it's not a problem, but it's still annoying. Maybe I'll want to wear this under a tank top one day. The front looks great. My firm tissue makes the too small cups create a very heaving bosom look.
The CHP Femme Fatale is striking, and there is a place for overtly sexy, yet high quality, bras in my wardrobe. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> In its way, the CHP Femme Fatale is a classic. Read more 139 more words
This is a padded SM bra. Obviously the shape is wrong for me, unfortunately.
The wires are good, straps are okay, band feels good, but there is quadboob. The shape of the cups is just a little too closed on top for me, but not much.
Usually I wear 28F, but I find this bra in 65F to be the right size for me (although the shape is wrong). But the band is good and tight, my underbust measurement is 26-27 inches comfortably tight.
The band on this bra is tiiiiight. Max stretch is 28.5". It's great for my 28" ribcage, but someone expecting a 30 will probably need an extender. This bra fit pretty well over all, there was some minor cutting on my larger boob and the straps seemed a bit wide for me and felt like they'd cut into my arm if I wore it for any length of time. It gives good lift and a rounded shape, and excellent for my close set breasts. The cups seem to be true to size. It's a great nude bra but I'm unsure if I'll keep it in my rotation. It just didn't quite give me the "wow" factor like the Porcelanka bra did.
It's a very well constructed bra, especially for how little coverage it provides. Even a cup size too small, my boobs stayed separated and lifted and didn't fall out of the cups unless I bent over and jiggled after doing a few jumping jacks. That really impressed me. Sadly, it's just a tad small so it was cutting on the inner part of the cups.
The design is beautiful, a kind of modern geometric lace pattern with some bling at the gore. The material was soft and comfortable.
This was the first Ewa Michalak bra I put on my body. It was heavenly! It fit perfectly. Immediately I could feel the difference in the quality of materials used to construct the bra. It was so soft.
I got this bra used, but it fits my 28 ribcage snuggly, but not tight as the band is very stretchy. I fill out the cups almost perfectly, my smaller girl doesn't quite fill it. I usually wear a 28FF, so maybe the cups run a bit small in this size as this is supposed to be comparable to a UK 30FF. ... This padding is very thick and makes me look a lot bigger, which is great for when I want to achieve that look. It gives a nice rounded and lifted shape.
After a few hours of wear, the band seems to rub the back of my ribcage a little, but not enough for me to get rid of the bra.
The color is a dusty rouge nude color, a pinky brown which is nice and it still works great as a nude bra. I wore it under a fair thin shirt today and the lace details were not noticeable at all. Read more 103 more words
This is a beautiful bra, but I barely wear it because it's slightly too much cleavage than I'm comfortable with. If you boobs are more wide-set or you like cleavage then it's great!!!
About 2 cup sizes too large for me, I knew this I just got an awesome deal on it and was mostly concerned if band size was going to fit. I was originally told to go with a 105 band and I'm glad I didn't because this band is too big @ 90. I have only owned if for so long and I also got it used. The previous owner did not like it because the bra was too big in band as well. For my body type of narrow shoulders (about 3 inches from neck to the farthest I would like a strap to go) I feel as if the shoulder straps are too far apart. I also know the cups are too big, but I also can not get the center gore to lay flat. I also feel as if the under wires are rather long and even if I went down a cup size I would still have under wire in my armpits.
Yay! My third try with this bra and I finally got it right! This one is exactly the same in appearance as my previous 70E and F except for the straps are different. They are wider than the ones on the 70F and are of a different material. I'm not a fan of them.
After trying this bra in 3 different sizes and two other CHP bras in 70F and 70FF, I am convinced this bra fits slightly small. I mentioned it in my other review as well. Measurement wise, it is consistent with others of the same size. It just feels smaller when wearing it. I have the same issue with last year's S Ptys bra. That bra measures just like my other 65Gs in the S style but it felt smaller. I think it could be due to the different fabrics used and the amount of stitching on the cups.
But all in all, I am happy with this bra and it is a great one to have in my EM collection.
I was so looking forward to this bra and I'm a little disappointed now that I have it. First the bad: The cups have a zigzag stitching pattern that is quite noticeable under my shirts. I don't know if it will eventually soften up with wear. The CHP Gazeta has the same stitching pattern but it is much less noticeable.
The straps really bug me. They're incredibly wide and thick, and just look cheap. They're also only partly adjustable. This is a problem for me with my short torso.
The good: The color of the bra is lovely and the material is a very soft, smooth satiny fabric. The flowers and embroidery along the cups give the bra a simple, yet classic look.
The fit seems comparable to other CHPs. If it weren't for the awful straps this would be one of my favorite bras.
I decided to get my next batch of bras in a 70FF instead of my usual 70F to accommodate swelling due to hormones or weight gain. I have extremely soft tissue and I am pleasantly surprised I can wear this with or without the padded inserts. I still get the nice, uplifted shape as with all S style bras. The color is a nice neutral that disappears under light shirts. I find the band slightly more snug than my other 70 bands. The only thing I don't like is the wires are slightly too high in my armpit and can be uncomfortable, but I get that with all my S bras.
