Sooo cute-such attention to detail! Alas, I guessed wrong on the cup size, so it is too small by at least a size - maybe 2.
The band is tight but wearable.

I love the shape of this bra, and the color, and the lining. I don't like the fabric, which seems like a cheap, shiny polyester. I think if the cup were larger (probably a G, for me), I'd probably be a lot happier about it. The band runs tight, but it's not uncomfortable.

This bra just doesn't fit me. The cups are too big which means a bit of gaping at the top where the chp style should lie flush to the chest. The wires at the side were also too high for me. The fabric is lovely though. I also love that Ewa is starting to incorporate a curve into their design at the bottom of the band at the central gore. I find this is a lot more comfortable than bands that just sit straight across.

I think I will just stick to the 70HH in this style.

So this bra was my first trying smaller cups and it didn't end up very good as you can see. My boobs was on top of the cups instead of in it. They were on the sides instead of in it. When I leaned over and scoped hard I would instead have overspill. When I tried to just hold the cups around my boobs with my hands they were obviously too small.

The bra in itself is a very beautiful bra. It kind of looks a little like Panache Sienna, but in a blue green kind of way instead. I wish I would've fit into it but I ... don't think it would have been any use.

The lace didn't show under clothing. The shape wasn't quite my thing. I am not this much projected as you can see.

I made this review so that I could set up a fitting request so that everyone could see the madness of how bad it is being high on chest and having that tissue running back and forth. I don't have the bra at home any more. I have considered buying a larger size to make the wires come back and get my root and end up higher on my sides so that more tissue will sit at my chest.

This bra is comfortable enough for a plunge bra but it doesn't provide enough support for everyday use. It holds my breasts firmly in place, unlike the Deco. The button detailing is a cute touch.

I have included a picture of it along with some other bras. The PL Karmelki is the second bra, starting from the front (it is between a yellow bra and a purple bra). This image shows the true color more than the pictures of it by itself. (The other bras in the picture are, from the front: Ewa Michalak CHP Kurczak, this bra, Ewa Michalak CH Purple, and Bravissimo ... Harbour Bright tankini; on the side: Ewa Michalak CH Toffik.)

My size in most brands is 34H, so this is one size up in the band.

Note: I am writing this review in January, 2013, several months after the bra was purchased. I have given my initial review and fitting comments based on my notes about the fit of the bra near the time of purchase. Since the bra was purchased, my breasts have grown and the bra no longer fits properly. Below are my comments on the current state of the bra:

The band on this bra has not stretched significantly while I have owned it; I can still wear it on the loosest hook. I wear this bra about once a month.

This bra sometimes pokes me in the armpits and requires adjustments throughout the day. If I get it on so that it sits comfortably, it remains comfortable throughout the day.

This bra is remarkably solid for a bra which has only lacing holding the two underwires together (see the image of one cup flipped each way to see how flexible it is). I bought it as a boudoir bra but I think it is supportive enough to wear on a regular basis - assuming you like plunge bras (I don't).

My size in most brands is 34H, so this is one size up in the band.

I have included a picture of this bra with several other bras because the laced gore is more visible (the image showing the back of the PL Czarny Kropek). (The other bras ... are Ewa Michalak CHP Kurczak, Ewa Michalak CH Purple, and Bravissimo Harbour Bright tankini.) There is another image showing it with the same other bras, which I think gives a clearer representation of the color, although the pink is a little bit washed out. It's a very light pink.

I got this second hand on ebay, so I am not sure how used it was before I got it. The band seems incredibly true to size, measuring exactly 28". The bra itself seems very well made and is very pretty, for a plain nude bra. The plunge seems like it would give nice cleavage without being too much, but the cup is too small on me. I normally wear 28FF and some 28G bras in other brands, but this is probably one cup size small on me. That said, it is totally wearable for now!

I got this second hand on ebay, so I am not sure how much it was worn before. The band is extremely tight, although I measure 27" underbust so it's not the worst thing. The lace is very beautiful, and the cups are made out of a material with just a little sheen. The cups are lined with soft cotton fabric, so it's super comfortable!

Alas, the cups seem to run small. I wear mostly 28FF and some 28G bras in other brands/styles, but I mega quadboob out of this one. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It may be good for someone who should be in a 26FF, honestly!

Very pretty bra, but much more obviously pink than the stock photos. The cups seem large for a 30E, however, and the bra is constructed in such a "sturdy" way that it can be uncomfortable if you don't have much padding around your ribs, even if the band is big enough or even too big. The band seems tight for a 30 yet feels stretchy. It ended up being too big for me in the cups as well, sadly. I really wanted this bra as despite being pinky and flowery it gave some kind of a "snow recon" look (only in my opinion, of course).

A plain but pretty bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> A great basic! Unfortunately this was my first foray into Ewa Michalak and my sizing was a bit off. The band, although quite tight at first, stretched out pretty quickly and now I can comfortably pull it ~2" from my back with ease (it looks too tight in the photos, but it's just because I have a weird shaped stomach and am a big squishy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> ). The cups are too small, I'm not sure how many cup sizes though. I think two. It obviously affects the shape from the side, because I don't get that great, round, uplifted shape that most do in Ewa Michalak bras.

The center gore in this bra is significantly taller than other center gores. The cups were big, and the band was really, really tight for a supposed 38. I would say that this bra fits more like a 36K/KK.

The PL Carmen by Ewa Michalak is available in select sizes on the EM site, for about $35. Because this bra is on offer with select sizes listed, I ordered this bra in a 38JJ. Obviousl...

I need to get an extender to properly try on this bra. This is the first plunge style bra I have tried from Ewa Michalak and if the other plunges are similar sizing to this one, you might want to go up one band size when ordering.

Based on the band measurements of this bra, though, I wonder if it was just mislabeled (30 inches stretched on a 32 band sized bra?)

-ETA-
I now have a back extender on this bra and it fits okay. There is a tiny bit of tightness on my larger boob side which could potentially cause problems down the line, but trying it on now it fits. I think this will become more of an occasion bra, since the HP style is a bit more everyday comfortable in my opinion, but it is great to have the plunge option!

Definitely order up one band size from your regular size!

This one was a disaster on me. The cups ended up being too widely spaced for my boobs causing a bit of east to west shape and then the cups themselves didn't even fit. I thought about pulling out the asymmetry pads that came with the bra to see if that made the cups fit better, but really this one was too much of a disaster on me to really try.

The band was nice and tight. Actually, it may have been a little too tight, but just barely! The shape was good like all of Ewa's bras, but because of the small cups, I just got a lot of quadraboob. All the quadraboob occurred near the center gore.

Definitely not the size for me. I think I prefer the shape of the PLs and CHPs anyways, so I am going to stick with those and hope I can find a nice home for this one.

This bra is simply my favorite color ever. Just looking at it makes me smile! Unfortunately it's a bit too big for me; at least a full cup size on my smaller (32G) side, and I was able to immediately fasten it on the middle hook comfortably. I intend to fold over the extra fabric on the small side, stitch it down, and wear it anyway, once I get to my sewing machine. The cup being too big causes another problem though, that being armpit chafing from the strap (I have narrow shoulders, so most bras dig in there). The chafing isn't too bad since the straps are pretty smooth, though.

I ordered this bra in a 55GG rather than my usual PL & CH size of 55H as I heard the CHP styles run large in the cup. This turned out to be true, and the GG is a really good fit for me in the cup.

The band is tighter than some other 55s I've had from Ewa, but I'm not surprised as the bands are always very inconsistent. It's perfect for me with one extra row from an extender.

The straps are a little thinner than I'm used to, which is quite a nice change. They're still supportive, but dig in just a little by the end of ... the day due to the the width. The straps are fully adjustable.

The design is very pretty, as the wings are covered with red lace similar to the briefs. The red is a little bright for me so it doesn't suit my pale (blonde hair, green eyes) complexion as well as some other colours.

I can't say I like the shape of this CHP as much as my CHs and PLs. It's still rounded and upfront, but not quite as much as I'm used to. This isn't one of the EM bras that comes with removable padding, so you can't use that to get a bit more uplift. If anything, I'd say the shape is slightly more 'natural' but still rounded (if that makes any sense). I still much prefer it to something like the Masquerade Rhea and it works well for my shape.

So beautiful, but the fit is strange. Either the cups are too big, or too small, or the shape is wrong. Who knows?

The shape this bra gives is incredible, but the size wasn't quite right for me. The band was borderline too tight, so one of the hooks pulled slightly, and the cups cut into the tops of my breasts.

Fit me beautifully when I first bought it, unfortunately I put on a bit of weight and it all went to my boobs! Beautiful shape and lift, I compare the lift of all my bras to Ewa's, and they all fall short. Because of the aforementioned weight gain, the cups are unfortunately not wide enough nor deep enough, so there is significant quad boob.
