This bra is seriously beautiful. It gives amazing lift, and it's just... comfortable, and smooth under clothes, and just generally awesome.

Beautiful bra. A little more open on top than I gathered from the pictures. I think the band is a little loose for a 70 band and in hindsight I should have gone up 1 cup size. The shape compensates for my bottom-heavy-flat-on-top boobs which I like but I get a lot of jiggling and I don't really feel secured in the cups. I have to readjust during the day. Those thing might just be due to the wrong cup size.
Otherwise the bra is comfertable and it's held up good in wash.

The PL Onyks did not fit me in the cup or the band. I have since returned it, so I don't have any measurements beyond the band, nor any idea how it wears over time. Unfortunately, the cups were too small and I was spilling out of the top, sides, and center. This bra came with asymmetry correcting inserts, but the cups didn't fit even with the inserts removed. The band was also too tight; I could fasten it on the loosest hooks, but it was uncomfortable and would have required an extender.
I'm a bit perplexed by the fit in the PL because I've been very happy with my 70G CH Lato/Toffik bras. My breasts are about a fingerwidth apart and of medium firmness. They have a tendency to spill into the center in plunge bras, although that could be attributed to the fact that I have yet to find a plunge suited to my size and shape. I also tried the PL Malachit in 65HH, but the band was too tight and the cups far too large.

The PL Malachit was extremely tight and constricting in the band; I could barely fasten the loosest set of hooks. The cups, however, were ridiculously large on me. I put two inserts into each cup, swooped and scooped, and they still gaped (as you can see in the pictures). Despite the fit of the 65HH, the bra was lovely in all other aspects. I was sad to send it back to Poland.
I bought this bra with a 70G PL Onyks and several 70G CH styles to get an idea of my correct size. The PL Onyks was too small in the band and the cup, whereas the CHs all fit perfectly. I haven't been able to pin down my size in the PL style yet, but I'm still holding out hope!

It's really beautiful. It reminds me a little of my Ultimo Lulu. The band feels true to size. It closes with only two hooks where I would have preferred 3 (like in the chp Stalowka I ordered in the same size). The cups does not fit me though. If I pull my shoulders back it looks alright but if I stand in normal posture or just slightly moves my sholulders forward I get massive gaping. I feel like it would fit a lot better if the was just a small wedge at the edge of the cup at a 45 degree angle to make the cup slighty rounded. I'm unsure if its just my very soft boobs with no fulness on top or the size or cut being wrong. I might need something that keeps my boobs closer to my chest.
I like the look of it. The way the nude colored part on the inner which works fine on me.

The CH Toffik was the first bra I bought in my correct size earlier this year. The pictures are from the day it arrived in the mail, so I was dealing with some migrated breast tissue at the time. The band is very firm, and even having worn this bra regularly over the past 10 months, I'm only on the middle set of hooks. Now that my migrated tissue has corrected itself, the cups are the tiniest bit small (mostly just when I lean over), but not to the point where I ever need to readjust. You can also see in the pictures, the bra fits my slightly ... smaller left breast best. Brand new, the bra provided great support and held the weight of my breasts without any problems. 10 months later, it's still very supportive, but the thin foam of the cups isn't quite as firm and it sags a tiny bit at the bottom. Overall, the CH Toffik has held up to wear very well. It is a very comfortable bra, which provides a great round forward-facing shape. Easily one of my favorites!

Good fit, but unfortunately it doesn't come with removable pads like other EM bras. Having one boob significantly bigger than the other, it can be an issue. But overall I like this style and it gives me a great silhouette!

I really wanted this to fit but it is painfully, ridiculously small in the cups. Some of that is probably due to a change in measurements since I've been wearing better fitting bras since the time I ordered this one, but even so the cups on this Pl are significantly smaller than the CHP and HP styles that I own.
The good: the band is a perfect fit, the cups sit in the right spot for my high set chest, the half adjustable straps are an ideal length for me (5'8" for reference) and are slightly wider, lightly padded at the front portion of the strap for additional ... shoulder comfort. It's a rich, lovely color with minimal embellishment so it can be worn under most clothing. As with the other Ewa bras I've tried, I love that in the larger cup sizes, the wires don't get so large that they wrap around to my back.
I've seen others mention to order up, especially in the plunge style. They are not kidding! Will have to try again as I find these are the best suited bras for my shape.

Enthousiastic as I was about my HM Gold I decided to order this HM Halfek Fioletowy Krokodyl. It is a discontinued model and there was only one left in stock, 65DD, which I assumed to be my size.
Bra description:
A handsome bra with cups made of soft but sturdy, completely see-through, and beautifully embroidered black mesh. The cup edges are embellished with a somewhat clunky lace and very dark purple -- what I would call aubergine -- ribbon. The collar combination is very subtle and very much 'me'. The same lace and ribbon adorn the centre gore and part of the straps. Two small black bows mark the ... points where the elastic parts of the straps start, roughly around collarbone height (the adjustable part of the straps is therefore still as good as normal length). The wings are made of a double layer of stretch mesh, the top layer sporting a tiny decorative dot pattern. All edges are finished with scalloped elastic and the elastic parts of the bra straps have decorative looped edges, which also prevent the adjusters from slipping.
Bra fit:
The cups fit quite similar to the cups of my 65DD HM Gold. The fit on my larger right breast is spot on, but the smaller left side gaps -- the clunky lace border along the cups of this bra makes this situation clearly less forgiving than is the case with the HM Gold. Worse though is that the band on this bra is MUCH stretchier than the band on the HM Gold. That one is only just tight enough for my 27"/69cm ribcage (really, I think I could go down a band size there too), but this one feels more like a regular 32/70 or a (tight-ish) 34/75 band. I'm sure it would fit someone with a 70D/DD or even 75C/D quite comfortably (the cups run large-ish in HM). When I tighten the straps the back starts riding up. Also, the straps, for some reason, aren't as comfortable as the ones on the HM Gold. Maybe that is because they are attached directly to the cups and start practically from my armpit, whereas on the HM Gold there is a small triangular piece of mesh between the cups and the straps, which effectively extends the 'armscye' ... or maybe the lace-and-ribbon straps of the HM Halfek Fioletowy Krokodyl simply aren't as smooth and comfortable against my skin in that area as the mesh and elastic of the HM Gold.
Conclusion:
Such a pity that this model runs so loose in the band as it is quite handsome and quite my style! Looking at the measurements others have given for this model I wonder whether this one is subject to a production error: none of the other sizes seem to be THIS loose and stretchy. Since this model is discontinued there's unfortunately no point in trying to exchange it for a smaller band size, so I think I'll just return it or possibly exchange it for a different model.

I bought this as a pregnancy/transition bra. When I bought it from another lady I was rapidly growing and having changes. Sense then I have stabilized into about a 28JJ/30J in Freya. So this is currently a cup large and will be a band size large (once my ribcage goes down post baby). So sadly it will not work for me as a pregnancy or transition bra. I've ordered a 28JJ PL Lilia to try next.
Because it does not work I cannot comment on wear, fabric, etc. One thing I found odd was the fabric under the arm between the wire and where the strap joins the cups. It has elastic or something similar which completely alters the fit of the cups for me.

Initially I was petrified of getting a potentially sub 28 band bra, but in this case it fits beautifully and the quality is nothing to be sniffed at. I can imagine this bra lasting a long time.
Although listed as a 60ff/28ff, I would consider this a 26 band on one from the tightest hook.
Update: It is getting awfully small, I attribute this to breast tissue migration. The band is a bit too big now (after ALLOT of wear!) and I am going into the 26 range easily (as I intended to begin with) so stay tuned for some 26 Ewa bras.

It didn't fit (too small in cup), my first Ewa order as I was greatly unsure (advised to go down a cup size even).
It is so small I'm either busting out everywhere (as seen on Bratabase), or the bra is compressing me down and out like a minimiser bra! (as seen on my Blog review)
I also reviewed with a guest who is 26C if anyone is interested.

I love this bra. The fabric itself is just so soft. The band is comfortable and pretty stretchy. The only problem for me is the cups just don't fit. I get quite a bit of gaping at the tops.
*sigh* I really wish this one fit, but I should just let it go at this point.

When I first got this, the band was super tight and the cups were perfect. I did have to bend the underwires to better match the shape of my chest and get the gore to lay flat. Now the band is perfect, but the cups are too big (I lost some weight).

I love this bra. It fit me perfectly in the cups when I first got it and the band was tight. I've lost some weight and now the band is perfect but the cups are a size or two too big. When I first got this, the center gore pointed out away from my chest, and it had a tendency to hurt under my boobs after I'd been wearing it for a while (like it was tipping forward and pressing in underneath). It almost ruined a perfect bra by making it unwearable, but I was able to bend the underwires so that they fit me better.
This is the hands-down most perfect shape I've ever had for my boobs.

Perfect cup fit but the band is too big (just got it and I already have to wear it on the tightest hook).

I bought tis bra on sale - I would have never chosen it from looking at it obline, but it is much much much more beautiful in person - more purple than dark rad as I thought.
Its wonderful to touch, great fabrics inside and out.
I dont really like semi adjustable straps, but these are short enough to work.
As for the fit - I am much more exposed than in my other bras, But somehow I jiggle less? I think its a cupsize too small though, but stil wearable - it doesnt cut in unless i pull my shoulders far back like Im going to knock someones teeth out.
The ... shape is really nice - puts me even higher up than cleo alexa but doesnt have the shelf efect somehow. This is very new to me.
Note that this is my first plunge. I will be requesting fitting help and after that updating the review.
AFTER 1 DAY OF WEAR
The band stretched out so much I have it on the tightest hook.
I am amazed by this cause at first i thought I wouldn't be able to fasten it.
I HATE the straps on this one. I read later curvy wordys review on this one and she had the same problem - they dig in terribly, no support and the elastic somehow curls up. Very weird.
The bra is definitely too small in the cups for me. By too sizes, according to the fitting section.
Im keeping it though as my boyfriend seems to be enjoying my pornstar cleavage. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
