Lovely bra, band is not as stretchy as other Ewa bras fits small in cup need to go up a cup size and band size but unfortunately it doesn't come in a 42 G, I l love the look of this bra
I don't think I recommend this more highly! The band stretches out quickly, though, so I'd suggest ordering a band size down to extend the lifetime of the bra.
I already wrote one review on this bra, but I reordered it in the right size, which is this one!
This fits great and is very comfortable. The details on this bra are lovely, and I enjoy wearing it. I've only had it a month, but so far it fits nicely and has not stretched out at all. I do think the band runs tight on this particular PL-- the 70 band is very comfortable, and normally 65 bands fit best for me in Ewa Michalak.
I also have the matching boy shorts, which are VERY cute.
Love this bra, band is smaller than other 38" need to move up to 40". Cups is a bit on the small size but has pads that can be removed to make cup bigger
What's good about this bra? It's very pretty, so soft to touch, it can be very comfortable. Gives great EM cleveagehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />) After loosing some weight size 75 is too loose in the band for me.
My only real problem with this bra is the straps (which are not fully adjustable, for anyone who needs shorter straps): The adjustor doesn't stay where I put it. I'll probably try to stitch it in place.
It seems Ewa Michalak can do no wrong. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I love her PL Onyx and I adore HP Koktajl. Let me list the reasons: - looks: OMG, was my DH's comment, after he rolled in his tongue from the floor and wiped the drool off his chin. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> HP Koktajl's colour + lace is hot but yet still sophisticated and above all, it looks classy in the "Imported!Expensive!" sort of way, execpt that EM bras are very purse-friendly. - shape: rounder than EM plunges, but very front-and-center and gorgeously uplifted. Looks like million bucks under any shirt. - support: solid. No other definition required. - comfort: like all EM bras, the lining/material of the cups is silky soft against the skin and while the straps are sturdy, they don't dig in or scratch. - quality: outstanding. As usual, the sewing is immaculate. This is really a super bra. Get yours while you still can.
Wow, this bra is an awesome fit! It's really lifting and has comfortable cotton fabric. The bra features an open liner where you can insert pushup pads to the liner, this is somewhat useful if you want to create more cleavage in the bra. It doesn't terribly effect the fit or distort the shape of the bra if you do use that. The one downside to it is the visible external seams, which are not good for knit tops. The straps were slightly short initially (this is never a problem I have) but have since stretched out to a reasonable length, and DON'T SLIP.
Is it possible to add in measurements for this bra? I am interested in buying an Ewa bra in this size, and I want to make sure that it would be a decent fit before buying :)
It's since gotten distorted by washing the bra. If you use their measurement guide it is a pretty accurate fit.
Compared to my other Ewa bra, I would suggest actually sizing down a back size. Maybe up a cup size or the same cup size. I usually wear my bras on the last set of hooks for the first few months, this one needs to be worn on the innermost or the second hook for me. This bra shape is also almost corset like in its effect. I feel like I have victorian era boob. It looks nice with some tops, however it can be a bit awkward looking for a tight fitting tank. I will say it's a nice solid cup material that doesn't seem like it will flop and lose its form.
Beautiful bra! But wrong size. I would say perhaps they run a bit small in the cup? Fully adjustable straps, good quality it seems... I had a CH bra (forgot the name after that... Started with a B and had a 'z' in it... I have it, so look it up, if you must), where the foam-lining sort of squeeked? But this doesn't, it's quite nice. Shape seemed good: I have not really considered plunges before, because I felt it couldn't possible hold the boobs in the middle, but this seemed to be constructed well, so I am giving it a chance https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> (In another size)
I figured I was generally a 60G in Ewa Michalak bras, but read in a place or two that the Onyx ran loose in the band. It was obviously a mistake because the band almost doesn't fasten on the smallest hook and the cups are somehow also much smaller. I love the multiple, fully interchangeable strap feature (a big reason why I got this bra, although the bra MUST be worn with straps). The padding I'm a bit confused about, since I can't see someone who fits the bra properly being able to accommodate the inserts as well, but I can't test this out as it's too small to begin with. I'll probably try ordering this in my proper 60G size, or maybe even sizing up, because the 60G sometimes feels on the fence about containing everything.
I love this bra. It is so beautiful and the only plunge that my boobs don't creep out of in the middle. The 36 band is nice and firm on my 34" underbust. I would definitely size up one band and cup size from your normal Freya and Fantasie size. I've worn this bra several times and it is still very firm on the loosest hook. The wires stay flat against my sternum and do not budge. It is comfortable as well. I can't wait for the BP styles to be released because I know that they will work even better for me. The other PL styles I own did not work out as well at this bra.
This looked very different from how I thought! Not sure I like it! It's very girly: The base is pink (thought it would be more latte), and the ribons are soft pink and creped, and there are some foam-tassels in the middle. Too much for my taste. Since the size is a bit off (though the cups seem bigger on this one, than on the Pl Black), I don't think I will bother with getting it in another size.
This bra is absolutely gorgeous in construction. The cups are padded, with a lavender lace overlay. The front of the straps has a lovely purple ribbon accent, while the back of the straps are plain white (the straps are NOT fully adjustable, however). The band is reasonably stretchy but runs a bit tight/ short, so account for that-- maximum stretch on this is just about 29.25 inches, on a "30" equivalent band.
The fit is very comfortable, even allowing for the tight band.
The fit is beautiful and very flattering with and without clothing, however it gives me quad boob because the cup is too small. I do intend to reorder this in one or two cup-sizes up-- it is stunning and gives great shape, once I find the size that will allow my entire breast to fit into the cup.
It's a little too big in the band, so I wear it on the smallest hook. It fits my left boob just fine, but is a little bit too small for my right boob. The wires are a little too narrow for my right boob, but I suspect that's because the cup isn't deep enough. The wires are nice and firm, the cup fabric comfortable. The seams show through clothing, but that was to be expected.
In all, it's comfortable and cute, but I'd be better off with a 60GG. I tried a 55HH in a similar style (HP Koktajl), which should have fit in the right cup because 55HH is a sister size to 65GG. But no, that one's definitely too big. So maybe, going down in the band would solve my problem?
I'm selling this bra for ~$35 USD, but haven't gotten around to taking photos yet. It just is too big in the cups and too small in the band to work.
The underwires are exactly what I need: just wide enough, firm, not poking into my armpits. The gore is high and narrow. The seams on the cups are vertical, and I feel very secure and supported. I just need the asymmetry correcting pads in *both* cups to get there. (And to tighten the straps.) For some reason, the pads correct more comfortably in this one than they do to the Toffik, which basically has the same measurements and ...cut.
The band is too tight, but not by a whole lot. I like a firm band, and the too-short-but-stretchy band is a fine approximation. It does get sort of uncomfortable by the end of the day, and I put a band extender in my purse in case it was needed. I like the three hooks, but it felt more comfortable when I didn't hook all of them.
The fabric seems durable. The cups are lined with soft cotton on the inside and a matte, satiny material on the outside. The band is actually a double layer the whole way through, but with stretchy material on the back rather than the firm interfacing on the wings part. The lace edging on the cups is pretty, and doesn't interfere with the strap adjustment or really show through fabric. The seams on the cups sort of do show through clingy fabric, but the color is just right against my super pale (Oregon winter + Scandinavian) skin. I can wear this with a white t-shirt.
On the week before my period: I walked all day wearing this bra, and noticed a good deal of subtle jiggling. This may be because my breasts are more sensitive right about now, but it could also be simply due to the construction of the bra: Because I'm held up and out, rather than inwards, there's more room to jiggle. A sports bra this is not. Read more 235 more words
Bargain buy from June -Braless in Brasilhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Another try with PL style from Ewa Michalak - size 75hh is a perfect fit. I am really surprised, my soft boobs staying in place in PL! I had a great advice from Clarisse(Lobby Biusciastych) about this style - if bra feels a bit to big in cups when you put it on, after w while the breast will fill the cups out. She was so right, I'm thinking about trying 75j - it will be een better fit. I've got only one complain - underwire is on the spot under arm, which is ok but not for me at the moment. Because I'm breastfeeding my 6months old I need the wires to be a little bit wider, to not block the milk ducts. I was wearing this bra all day and I ended up with very sore and blocked milk duct.
I was very pleased with the quality of the bra, this being my first Ewa bra, I wasn't sure about the fit, so I ordered my usual size uk 40hh.
Its definitely has slightly bigger cups, and the band size is also pretty big in this particular style. I was sure it was going to fit as I'd hear that the bands with these bras are a tighter fit but this wasn't the case with this particular bra.
It was comfortable and definitely incased my breasts comfortably but i found it only fit my bigger boob (yes I have uneven boobs, like most women https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" .../>) so I'm actually going to message ewa next time to get a custom one made to the size of each breast. Thats a big plus with this brand, being able to have any cup size made- except that its non refundable, but that really isn't an issue as it'll be custom made to me. The padding I found was a little lumpy, but this is probably because the bra was slightly too big for me.
It only took 3 weeks to reach me here in Australia (was made to order) and was very pleased with the communication and time it took. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This plunged style wasn't exactly very plunged, and didn't suit my boobs as they are quite bottom heavy. Read more 125 more words
Absolutely stunning bra, clever lace overlay makes it look very dainty. Fabric is non irritating, bra band is slightly see through. Lace detail will show through clingy shirts but does not show through dress shirts I have tried on over.
Center gore is VERY low but bra is not as revealing as other plunges I have tried. Unfortunately the bra was too large in the band and a smidge too big in the cup so I did not wear for longer than a minute or two and cannot comment on comfort.
Is it possible to add in measurements for this bra? I am interested in buying an Ewa bra in this size, and I want to make sure that it would be a decent fit before buying :)
