The band on this is very small (only a very tiny portion of it stretches at all), and the straps are quite short. All my other EM bras I have had to alter the straps shorter, but I have these ones as long as they will go.
As usual the shape is fantastic, this is a cup volume smaller than I would normally wear, but is just gives more fantastic cleavage due to the open top cup shape.
This bra seems to fit in an acceptable manner right after I put it on. Right after that though it slides down my body and I get an impressive amount of overspill. The cups are very shallow at the base, and it seems to be a cup size smaller than my other EM bras (all are CH/CHP/HP cuts). The cups themselves are made of a stable thin foam, and the bra feels well made. I wish it was more compatible with my shape and/or came in larger sizes.
The front of this bra fits pretty well, gives great shape. The straps are slightly too far apart for me, I'd basically like for the outer edge of the strap to be where the inner edge of the strap is. The padded straps are awesome, but too long and I had to alter them shorter. The cup fabric of this bra is a shiny silvery white, it kind of reminds me of the fabric used in halloween costumes, and looks kind of cheap. The polka dotted band is delightful though. I bought this with the intention of dyeing it, I think the shiny fabric would look more acceptable ...in hot pink.
The band on this bra is atrocious, I hate it. There's a vertical strip of boning 9cm tall about 7-10cm (at rest vs stretched measurement) from the underwire. Up until that point the band looks like a regular bra band, two layers of fabric with elastic at the top and bottom. past that, there's just a triangle of the two fabrics with no elastic to centre a 2 hook closure (3cm high) onto the strip of boning. The band feels unstable and unsupportive, and that vertical boning digs in at the bottom corner every time I move. Read more 100 more words

This is my first Ewa bra and I'm in love (65G). I wear a 28GG in Freya and 30G in panache and parfait. Boob summary: narrow, projected, even, close-set, soft tissue, and splayed. Visually it's gorgeous, by far my prettiest bra. It looks just like it did in the website pictures. The band is firm, I measure slightly above a 28, and I found the 65 to be perfect.
Pros: -gore is low enough for close set boobs -feels very supported, no center spillage -gorgeous!! -comes with the little pads -weirdly smooth under a thin t-shirt for the all the adornment -dat projection -I'm splayed and never have cleavage, I totally have cleavage in this bra!!! -the ...narrow wires actually make sense on my ribcage, I don't have to bend them around because they just sit on the front part. -contains boob-sorcery, its like my boobs are floating in zero gravity.
Cons: -straps are a little itchy -shape is slightly pointed -so pretty you will want to strip of your clothes in public -feels a little stuffy with all the padding, definitely not a free-boob feel. -may have spoiled me for non-ewa bras
I love this and can't wait to get an SM next, or maybe a CHP. Read more 83 more words
This is one of the most comfortable bras that I own. Currently I'm wearing this one with an extender until it stretches out a little but everything else is absolutely perfect.
I normally wear a UK 28F, and the sizing calculator on the EM site gave me 65DD. This was, for the most part, accurate, or for this unlined half-cup style, at least. Your EM size will vary depending on the cut, whether it's padded or unpadded, materials, etc.
The band's absolute max stretch is 30", but this is when I'm pulling very hard and seems like I'm hurting the bra. I would recommend this for someone who measures at least 28.5" at the tightest--I had to wear it on the tightest or second tightest hooks, as I measure about 27" snugly.
The fit is a little off because of ...incompatible shape. This half-cup was just slightly too tall for my breasts (I have a short torso), so the lace edge floated a bit. Underneath the lace section, I got slight quadboob because the bra wants softer, less full-on-bottom breasts than mine.
I think it would fit great on someone who was even and maybe fuller-on-top, with softer boobs. The half-cups really give the breasts a round shape, and push them upwards and hold them close to the chest.
Four rows of two hooks instead of the usual three rows. Read more 91 more words
This fits perfectly in the cups and really puts the breasts front and center, but I can't fasten the band without an extender. Chalk it up to sizing inconsistency: I have two other Ewas, a CHP (80) and a PL (85) whose bands are just fine.
Goodness is that band tight.Yet with the measurements for a 40 band,it goes up to 42 inches,so that's odd.I was wondering if you could tell me how the cups are,does the fabric stretch a little as you put it on,increasing the cup depth slightly?
SparkleDarkles Yes, the fabric does stretch a bit. I'm finding nowadays that the cups aren't quite deep enough at the bottom, but they accommodate a lot of center depth, if that makes sense.
Oh great,that's good to hear. :) Maybe ordering a cup size smaller than I thought I would need will work.Usually I need more depth at the bottom,but am willing to try cause I'm in love with this bra. :) That is good news for those who need the center depth,though.
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. Read more 155 more words
I love what this bra looks like! It's so hard to find nice bras in my size that fit and this looks soo nice. I love the bow on the front. Some people say it is oversized but I don't think it's too big at all https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Unfortunately the sizing of this bra is different to the pl milady and pl onyks I have in the 60GG. In the pl Charlie the cups are way too big on me. I can make it fit using heaps of the push up pads, but I don't like to add so many. I will definately be buying another in a cup size down, same band size.
I love what this bra looks like, unfortunately the cups are wayyy too big on me. I have the pl milady and pl onyx in 60GG but the cups on this one and the charlie are much bigger. I will be ordering another in a smaller cup size.
This is such a pretty bra, and gives amazing cleavage! I'll just breakdown a few points about the fit.
*The band is a little big. I was worried it would be, as a 60G I have from her fits wonderfully in the band. Her calculator gives me a 60FF, but I was hesitant to custom order anything until I pinned down my ideal size with her. I think the calculator would actually be pretty accurate for me for this model. I have no problem trying to make this one shorter in the band myself.
*I'll mention the awesome cleavage again! It does have removable pads, and I need to take the pad out of my larger side for the best fit.
*The profile is a bit pointy for my taste. I think I'm used to the insanely round profile of the Deco, but I don't think I would be comfortable wearing this as a T-shirt bra. It would be great under a v-neck dress or sweater or something though.
My measurements: 25 BTT, 26 Snug, 35 standing, 37 leaning and lying. 2/6 Full on Bottom.
Appearance: This bra is just as beautiful in real life as it looks in the pictures. I am very impressed, and the quality of the fabrics seems great as well. I really like the shape and cleavage I get from this bra, and the padded pillows for asymmetry correction are invaluable.
Band size: Tighter than my other EM 55s, but I found this bra to be perfect with just one extra row from an extender. I can wear it without an extender without any distortion of the cup, but I found it quite uncomfortable, ...especially after a prolonged period of time. I wouldn't recommend a 55 in this style for anyone with larger measurements than myself unless you were okay with wearing an extender.
Comfort: Band and straps are comfortable. I do find the wires quite uncomfortable though, as if they seem to not be padded enough.
Projection and Width: This style seems to provide more immediate projection than the PL and S styles, but with wider wires. Probably better for those who are even or FoT as the cup is quite open. I am very full on bottom but the padded pillows seem to help. The cups seem to be about a half size larger than in the PL, S and Ch styles, but this is the only Chp I have tried so I am unsure if this is due to the cut of the Chp or just this style.
TLDR; one of Ewa's tighter 55s, best for even to full on top.
Such a gorgeous bra. Even prettier than in pictures. My first time trying EM and it's about 1.5 cup sizes too big for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I so wanted this to fit. I'm usually a 30G so I thought this might be a little bit big, but I thought I could deal with it. Fits beautifully everywhere else; just too big in the cups https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Ok- I love this bra. I've always dreamt of having it but it was too expensive until it recently went onsale. Unfortunately, the cups on this bra are too small for me.. which is strange because I expected them to run larger than the CH bizsktopty, but the measure the same (same volume cups) and but fit smaller! I would like to also point out that the wires are very stiff (stiffer than any other Ewa I own) and they are quite narrow, which provides excellent support. The band on this bra runs about a band tight, so the 30 will fit a 28 very well, but it is too big for me (24). I think for this bra I would need a size between bands 26-28 and go up a cup volume for the best fit.
This bra & the other Ewa I have were used to see what my band size in Ewa will be. Now I can figure out what the cup size I will need. A band size of 60 fill fit me best.
This bra & the other Ewa I have are an experiment for me to see what my Ewa size is & if her cup style is for me. I'm still not sure about cup size but I know my band in her brand will be a 60.
