I love this cut, and this bra is so comfortable I forgot I was wearing it. Pleasantly surprised at the beautiful shape it gives me, too. Front and center, just how I've finally realized it is supposed to be.

This bra is simply gorgeous. The detail on it is so pretty and I love the red/black contrast. The straps are fully adjustable and very stretchy. I removed the two "push-up" pads because I don't care for those, and I love the way this fits. I've never had any luck with plunge styles but this one has sold me!

One thing I notice after a day of wear...the bottom part of the elastic kind of cuts in. Not enough to discontinue use however.

Glad to receive from allifrack ! It has that classic wayyy too deep cup Ewa/Effuniak look like I'm offering my boobs out for dinner, which is why I'm surprised Ewa bras don't run closer to people's leaning measurements. But it does fit quite nicely despite my thoughts about style! I think I will be quite happy to wear it under clothes, after getting used to the feel - I have recently lost some weight and apparently some padding right where it matters on the ribs. But I walked around the house a bit before even noticing that so I think I'll be good https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It reminds me of my Cleo Ellie in 28H. A 28 in this style though would certainly be falling off a narrower person's shoulders.

Update:

Argh, my boobs have grown by a critical half a cup, which means this bra doesn't fit anymore https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I inevitably quadboob no matter how much I pray that I wouldn't... So I guess I'll just have to list it.

---
I fell in love with this bra the moment I tried it on. It’s a perfect fit for me!

The band runs quite small, so if you’re between sizes as I am, you might want to size up. The cups, on the other hand, I find very true to size.

On me, the 70 is snug but not uncomfortable on the first hooks as new, ... and the centre gore lays flat on the sternum between my breasts. No spillage anywhere and I can fill the cups all around. So everything’s according to the text book!

I absolutely l o v e the shape the CHP gives me. I have fairly round breasts by nature, and the CHP complements that even further, yet without looking unnaturally round. The straps are fully adjustable (although a bit cumbersome due to the decorative pattern), which I really appreciate as my breasts sit quite high up on my chest, and as a rule I need to shorten the straps if they’re not adjustable all the way. However, they are quite stiff and hard and might be a bit uncomfortable. But that’s the only negative I can think of.

All in all, the CHP Mak feels supportive yet comfortable. Looks great, feels great – I believe I’ve found a keeper.

Edit: After wearing it for a while, I have to add two cons.

Firstly, the edges of the paddings under the hooks are very sharp and hard; they scratch my back quite bad and obviously don't add to the comfort. I actually had to add some medical tape around the edges at first in order to be able to wear the bra for a whole day. (I have the exact same problem with the HM Gold.) Therefore, I lowered the comfort to just "okay". The straps, on the other hand, aren't uncomfortable as I suspected, but have softened just enough.

Secondly, the band's decorative lace at the front curls during wear, which isn't exactly appealing. Of course, this doesn't affect fit or comfort or anything, but I lowered the bra appearance to "good".

For these reasons, I also lowered quality to "good" in stead of "excellent".

This bra fits me very nicely and gives a nice shape. Depending on what time of the month it is, it gapes a little or quads a little so I think it's the perfect size for me.

This is an older EM bra that I got through the listings because I prefer the PL style to the S-bras. I finally see why so many people have told me that Ewa Michalak runs tight in the band: compared to this bra, my newer PLs and single S bra have much stretchier bands. The Turkus is also about 1/2 cup size bigger than my Ewa Michalak Pl Stalówka (328) in the same nominal size.

This bra is a little bit flimsier than some of the newer models, but the construction is sound. The outside is a pretty aqua-green satin material and all the lace is soft, not itchy. The straps are comfortably wide and the bra itself holds everything up very nicely. The visible serging on the cups took a little getting used to, but it doesn't look bad from a distance. I'll probably be wearing it with an extender and some pads from the Stalowka for the first few weeks.

I have come to the conclusion that the CHP style is not for me. I do best with half cups because I'm full on top. But I have too much projection for the bra and cannot settle into fill the bottom of the cups. The projection causes upsizing to get cup depth, the upper fullness causes upsizing to avoid quad boob. All this plus wide straps and wide wires. So the CHP is not the style for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

It is a gorgeous bra, just plain beautiful. But I cannot wear it.

This is yet another EM bra I purchased in the correct cup size with too small of a band in the hopes of getting a lower gore. I was afraid that with 70F - Ewa Michalak » Hp Classic (236) and 70F - Ewa Michalak » Ch Pawie Oka (207) fitting me so well, this bra would be a cup size too small, but that is not the case. Aside from an intentionally too small band, this is one of the best fitting bras I've ever put on in my life. I do currently wear this bra with an extender. I bought this bra second hand, and it is missing one of the pearls on the ribbon on the gore.

While this bra no longer fits, this bra makes my breasts go out front and center in a way that no other bra I own can compare to. I recently put it on to wear for the first time in a couple months because I was washing all my other ones, and immediately said "Wow" once I put my shirts on.
Nicely projected and away from the armpits. This is the kind of shape I like and the kind I think suits my body best. The only other one real close to providing 'my shape' is Masquerade Anise (6171). These vertical seams and narrow wires are a match made in a place where there are beer volcanoes and stripper factories.

This is a beautiful bra. It is very cyan blue coloured. It has a small pink bow on the centre gore. It has a very small white border on the top and bottom of the band, and the strap adjusters are also white.
The lace pattern on the cups is pink and green, whilst being quite abstract - it looks how something does when you put it under water! I love the visual of this bra - i think it is something that Ariel the mermaid would wear in her adventures!

About the fit:

The band is too big for me. I can fasten it on the tightest set ... of hooks and i can still pull it away from my body a fair bit. The band is made from very stretchy material, and so it does not have the support that i would like. However, if the band was the right size, i suspect this would not be an issue.
The straps are only half adjustable, and the strap material is elasticated too. It is very soft, and so is comfy, but with the band being too loose i could do with making the straps tighter to compensate, which i am unable to do.

The shape of the cups is pleasing. I get a lot of cleavage without any overspill. The wire width and cup depth seem a good size for my close-set, fairly even, slightly more FoT boobs.

Whilst the label claims this as a 75G - i think it's more of a 70GG to be honest. I normally wear a 30H in UK brands or 60L in Comexim for reference.

I like this bra a lot. Very comfortable, fits perfectly and has removable push up pads for correction of asymmetry. For my 70 cm under bust the band is nice. I can fasten it on the smallest hook but since it does not ride up when I am using the loosest one I'd say it is a good fit. mostly I use the middle setting. This is one of my first Ewa bras and I am very very pleased. Since I have soft breast tissue I would actually like the center gore to be 0,5-1 cm higher - I do have to adjust occasionally due to falling out in the middle a little bit when I move around more.
I also got the matching panties and they too fit perfectly in size 38(10) - 94 cm hips.

Beautiful and a comfortable bra for me. Feels slightly looser than S Szykuś, but still stays in place just fine. The cups are a good fit, and I love how comfortable the bra is. The other thing I noticed with Ewa bras are the narrow under wires witch suit me very well. With Panache bras I always felt the under wires were slightly too wide. So this is perfect.
I also have matching panties in size 38(10) - 94 cm hips and they too are lovely.

This is a pretty bra in a padded half-cup style. Two vertical seams on each cup provide nice support and good shape. There are four rows of fasteners on the band so it should last well as it stretches. I'm not overly fond of the padded-half cup for myself but there's nothing about this bra that doesn't fit me. The straps are unexpectedly stretchy.

Updated on Sep 07, 2013 Flag this

First of all, when I received this bra it was used, and some of the hooks were being pulled out and were quite loose. A quick sewing job fixed that up, but that means that I've never worn the bra without an extender, but with an extender the band feels like a true 32, so it probably runs a little small. You may want to size up.
This bra is everything I'm looking for in a bra . . . except it's too big in the cups. The little accents of flowery ribbon is adorable, the wires are narrow, the cups are deep and the wings don't stab me ... under my arms. But there is a lot of gaping at the top of the cups, and I think I may have overestimated my size (for the record, I find myself spilling out of too-tight 32Gs and am on the hunt to find a more comfortable fit. This was one attempt).

**Update:
After adjusting the straps to a more comfortable length and ditching the extender, I can verify that this bra, while gaping a little, is certainly wearable and the gaping is not that significant (or not significant enough to justify sizing down). The band is tight, yes, and fits more like a loose 30 than a 32. But overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

I traded my @Ewa Michalak S Porcelanka in 65FF for this Sm Bezyk in 70F. I wanted to see the difference in fit before I actually order from Poland. I knew the bras were different but didn't realize HOW different until I got the Bezyk in the mail from the swap.

This is an unlined bra, whereas the Porcelanka is not. This is very pretty, almost dainty looking, but it is very supportive. I'm not sure how you'd describe the color...maybe champagne? It's not beige, it's not ivory, it's not ecru. What I have in this bra is gapping at the top...quite a ... bit of gapping, actually. For sure if I were to order this bra for myself I'd go down a cup size, though likely stay in the 70 band. The Porcelanka has much more solid cups (and the S shape as opposed to the Sm) and I think I'd stick with this cup size (the sister size to the 65FF I had).

Gore tacks, band fits, underwire sits flat and is comfortable. It doesn't go as far under my arms as some others I have (Cleo Lucy (5851) comes to mind immediately, only because I was wearing that one today) but my breast tissue is comfortably enclosed in the cups. There are four rows of two hooks, which I also like!

When I do order from Poland I will likely try this style in one cupsize down, but keep this size in the S Porcelanka.

When I first saw this bra on the photos, I didn't like it's design at all. And I surely wouldn't never buy it if it wasn't on sale. Then I read that the HP style would be stopped and it definitely convinced me to the purchase.

I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. What I didn't see on the pics, is that this bra have actually a very nice design. The band is made of a shiny grey fabric and the cups of a black lace with silver flowers on the black background. In close-up it's one of the prettiest EM bras.

The overall fit is similar to the other ... HP bras. The band is really very tight even if the measurements don't confirm this impression. I think it's because it's quite high. You can see on the side view that the wings run higher than in other EM bras in this size. It makes the band more compressive, but it's still wearable.
The cups are normal for this size, with an open cup edge as usual in the HP style.
The wires seem a little narrower than in my other EM bras, maybe it's because they're very hard and don't stretch a lot. It's not a problem for me anyway since I need narrow underwires in my bras.

I bought this bra on balkonetka in the days when I was buying everything with the “HM” prefixhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> This is a prototype, never put into production.
I was pretty sure of the size as all the HM bras have similar cups. This one is not an exception, the only difference, as often, is the shape it gives, it's a little bit less rounded.
The band is tight, the straps are rather short, but long enough for me. The cups run similar to all the HM bra, in my case it means one cup size bigger than usual.

Pros:
This bra is gorgeous and sexy! I love the vertical seems, ribbon and embroidered straps. It seems very well constructed, and as long as I have the underwires high enough, it holds me in very securely and comfortably. Definately, the best fit I've found for my full on bottom pendulous breasts.

Cons:
On my first day out with it, I wore it to a rave, and the centre gore started stabbing me half-way through the night, but this could have been due to all the extreme movement on my part (and it held me in even so).

I am not very fond of the shape it gives me, as it seems to have a minimizing effect. So, I will definitely try to find a CH next.

I love this white bra and the cleavage that I get from it. I also love the option of having cookies so I can get that extra oomph is I do so choose.
