I'd previously avoided Ewa's PL cut, assuming it would be too wide and shallow at the wire on me with too tall cups. But but but... this is a bra I missed out on as it was discontinued prior to me finding ABTF, and it was long on my "love this and will never have it" list. I'm so over taller gores, I've gravitated towards short gores (and looser bands) lately. When I first got bras that fit I was all about super snug bands and lots of separation. I don't know if I'm becoming more sensitive with age or what lol, but all ...my 28 bands feel like they're suffocating me lately even though my measurements haven't changed, and I have been shoving cotton balls between my sternum and my balconettes. So when this popped up for sale on here, I thought well why the hell not!
Turns out it works pretty well on me! Yeah it's a little tall/big on my smaller side, but I hate using cookies so I deal with it. I don't find it slipping out of my IMF, at least not uncomfortably so, and I'm over super narrow wires too. Just because I *can* wear 4.8" wires doesn't mean I have to, nor do I want to, nor do I need my boobs THAT front and center 24/7. This bra is very comfortable, beautiful, I don't spill out the center, my boobs don't touch in the middle (which also drives me crazy), and that makes it a win in my book. Now I want the PL Lovely, the PL Dark Magenta, the SM Tattoo, and the new M cut she has out.... and I also want to win the lottery!! Read more 187 more words
Wonderful! find. I thoroughly enjoy this colorway. Hope it is fantastically comfortable with the looser band and slightly wider cup!
Beautiful! I find it became refreshing when I stopped focusing on the PERFECT fit and focused more on comfort and a great fit. I try to recommend everyone to not become too obsessed with the perfect fit. I've known a few women who just flat out give up because nothing is perfect. This is just as perfect IMO so long as your happy & comfortable.
That's so beautiful!
Stunning! What a great find!
I, too, am now more focused on comfort. The Pl Blekitna Rapsodia is one of my favorite Ewa Michalak designs I never bought. It looks good on you! If you did try the cookie on your smaller side, did that make it fit? I understand what you're saying about not wanting to bother with cookies on a daily basis, though.
Yeah it fit better with the cookie, but I don’t like how padded the cookies make the bra feel. Like boob armor. Plus it feels like they take away some of the immediate depth, and I need all I can get.
As others have said, Zielony Pieprzyk is an extremely beautiful design. Polka dot mesh overlaid on a teal-emerald base with shiny black ribbon vertical seams and a ribbon bow. I'm so sorry my poor bathroom lighting fails to really capture the true detail and contrasts! Because the cups are pretty near seamless under clothes and the color is surprisingly sedate, this will work pretty well as an "everyday black bra" for me.
I custom ordered in the CH cut, which is fabled for its fabulous immediate projection! Well, it certainly doesn't disappoint... nothing else I own even comes close in that department. It frustrates me that Ewa ...offers so little in this cut anymore... it really offers the depth at the wire I feel like so many full-busted women need!
My only prior experience with this cut was the CH Cherry in 65FF, which was too small for me. Like the Cherry, this bra fits maybe half a cup size large and very open in the cups; I need the pad on my smaller side to properly fill it out without gaping. Also, while Zielony has much sturdier straps than the Cherry, they still feel ridiculously wide-set. I have to purposefully angle them inwards a bit, and though they don't bother me personally during the day, I can't imagine how very petite or narrow-shouldered ladies would fare. The cup shape is very round, ultra projected and a little less compact than the CHP cut. Very flattering from both the front and side, but definitely not minimizing! Read more 151 more words
Oh, I think this is lovely! I think I like this bra better as a CH than an S.
Gorgeous!! The projection is is excellent. I so wish the gore was a single wire, because the narrowing alteration I performed caused the wire to bite hard under my most projected breast. Otherwise, this bra is magnificent.
I'll have to update after i've worn it - it came in right before the holiday rush and I tried it on like a week ago and havent put it on since!
I do remember that the band is too big, already on . . . 2nd or 3rd hook? The first SF I got, 75 was the right band size, but it no longer is.
The cups fit well, I was happy about that.
Hubby commented that he really liked the color of this bra - and thats unusual for him to comment. It is a darker shade of wine/purple. really nice! Looking forward to wearing it!
oops, looks like i have to post from here even tho i didnt put the pics in yet - should be up pretty soon.
Georgeous!! I LOVE the color! You might have to take the band in; or maybe a Rixie clip?
I like this color, too. Giggle. So glad your husband approves :-) :-)
Well, so far my 75 bands fit on 3rd/4th hook, but are . . ok. Not sure rixie clip works for such a wide band? I've never seen one in person. and i'm no seamstres, tho I suppose I could pay someone to take in a few of them
I was worried these newer sf with the lace overlay on the band's would not be as firm as the basic sf with the two sturdy layers which was for me the very firm band was a bonus ... now I know not to size up in this bra .. What I find interesting is that the cup depth of this 75jj sf is smaller than your 75j sf by .5 " and with the 1" longer stretched band of your 75j st that is a significant size difference to me . Makes it hard to want to order directly from Ewa michalak if you don't know what your getting .
Does it feel as super supportive ?
It is a lovely color in a bra though .
I'm so sorry the band is too big :( :(
I looked for 4 hook Rixie clips, and couldn't find any, although I did see 3 hook Rixie clips. 😥
I havent worn it yet - its hanging on the shower rod drying, now. It did seem less big than I thoguht, but it could be measuring differences? its not easy . . .
It's definitely not easy that is for sure
I didnt have a tape measure, but I held the two against each other this morning and the cups look pretty much the same shape except the new one is maybe a half inch taller? Really, it does look too small on my bigger side, but I was starting to fall otu of the other one - and i always fall out over the top, so . . taller works
Looks great on you and the colour really is gorgeous!
Very lovely!!
I have this and like it quite a lot! I also don't feel like it's super lifted, but certainly very round and projected.
I was always curious about this one, and it looks great on you! Glad for the review.
Apparently I can't edit, but the straps on that should be fully adjustable. If you have a rat tail comb (or something similar) wiggle the top loop loose (the one on top) and then it should be easier to make the straps shorter. Just fyi for next time. :)
Thanks everyone! So glad I didn't give up on it when it didn't work out at first. Definitely an awesome bra. gratiat You're right, they are!! Thanks to your tip about the comb, I was able to get the green half of the straps through the loops. Took me about 5 minutes to do because the stitching made the straps stiff and thick but it finally gave in. Tried it on after and the lift is definitely improved, too. Just when I thought I couldn't like this bra more... You're a lifesaver, haha. Thanks! :D
I had to do that with my Syrena. It's amazing how much difference just a little adjustment can make. On the upside, they don't slip during wear.
This bra is gorgeous. I feel like its the Cadillac of bras. These wires are sooooo narrow. They are perfect. I finally have a bra with enough immediate projection - the wire seems to match up perfectly under my breasts and it doesn't keep settling down all day. I don't have the straps jacked all the way up, either. It is on the narrowest hooks. Praise God. This bra is comfortable and secure. It's not stabbing me. When I took it out of the package, my husband said "wow that's a really pretty bra and I'm a dude and I've seen a lot of bras in my life ...and never saw one that actually made me want to compliment it." The color is a light peach and my pics don't show it very well. I love the big bow but you can't really see it because it's trapped between the girls.
This bra tacks but its not what I'm used to. I can push it more firmly against my chest. It's not floating away from me or anything but it's not a firm tack. I wouldn't want to go up in the cup bc my 75J - Ewa Michalak » Bm Groszki is too big in the cup and the cup volume of my 65JJ is much more appropriate for me.
This bra is lined throughout which I love and it has a softer feel than the Panache Jasmine. It cannot be handled as roughly as the Jasmine. I attempted to adjust on day 1 and heard a heartbreaking "rip." !!! I am heavy handed so I'm going to have to handle this thing gingerly. Hopefully I will not have to adjust it often. Day 1 I did not have to do much adjusting. My breasts are very soft in the center and I had to tuck my tissue back out into the cups a little bit. The gore is a little bit lower than what would be perfect for me.
That's pretty! Great fit! Did you buy the thong? I can highly recommend that one, soooo comfy (runs very large)
pudding I have yet to venture into the realm of EM undies. Not big on thongs, either. But her undies look wonderful! I would be worried about ordering the wrong size.
I have been covetting this bra for awhile and finally decided to go for it. So glad I did! It fits like a glove and compared to my other Ewa in a 100 band this one definitely is more firm and stretches to 39" comfortably whereas my others can stretch to 40" easily. Cup depth seems shallower as well but could be the S cut. I will need to compare with my other S. The only recommendation I would have is to make the harness style straps a little longer for wider bands. I cannot use the smallest one without it cutting in and pulling the straps of the bra inward. Not the best look. Other than that I have enough strapping options with the others it came with. Another great bra by Ewa! Wish she had more colors as I would get another for sure in a different color.
This bra arrived with a faulty hook and eye (one was sewn upside down, making the first set of hooks unusable). I can wear it okay on the second set, and it wasn't something I felt warranted a return, but I contacted EM on their Facebook page, just to make them aware.
Gotta say, I'm impressed with their response. Kaska replied right away and offered to make and ship a new one completely. I couldn't really accept in good conscience (it's easily fixable and I don't need two of the same bra), but we made another arrangement and I have to say I'm very pleased. Excellent customer service, ...IMO. I will definitely feel more confident about ordering again in the future.
As for the bra itself, I like the fit! I ordered my usual size that matched what was in the drop-down box, and it seems TTS. The lace trim is a little itchy, but hopefully it'll soften up with wear and a few washings. Great projection, narrow wires, straps are wide but not annoying. I think I could do with the wings being a tad higher (my tail of spence is larger on the right side for some reason, so things tend to poke there even if the left side feels fine), but it's not too bad. Very firm gore tack, hoping that will soften up a bit as well.
Appearance wise, this is adorable! The little buttons instead of bows are perfect, and are a big reason I chose this model to start with. The CHP cut gives me great lift, cakes type cleavage, and a nive smooth look under clothing. Due to the lace, it definitely shows under clingy shirts, but it would probably be an okay t-shirt bra for me.
All in all, while not an ideal first time ordering experience, I'm generally pleased. It's such a cute bra, and I'm thrilled to have it. Read more 209 more words
I would still complain, whether you want to return it or not. PetiteCollegiate posted today on the Facebook group Clothes for Boobs https://www.facebook.com/groups/261128837304402/ that even though initial contact with EM about her CH Cherry was unsuccessful that she received a box of smaller sized CH Cherries to try.
For something I can probably fix myself, I don't think the expense of returning it from the US would be worth it. I do love the bra itself. But I may leave a comment on the Facebook page or something, just to make them aware. It was just disappointing, bit of a downer on top of the initial new bra excitement.
To be fair, they probably order the bras hooks and eyes in mass quantities. I'd be surprised if Ewa hand sewed each hook and eye into the clasp. Its not like she hand knits the fabrics, they do have material suppliers. It's possible it's the clasp supplier's fault. Each side of the clasp is probably machine stitched onto each end of the band. Even if it was hand stitched into the band, I can see something like that going unnoticed in a hurry. I'm not an Ewa fan nor am I defending her. Just throwing the possibility out.
lcl0706 Oh sure, I wasn't really thinking they'd attached all the hooks themselves, but I'd expect someone attaching that part to the band to at least look closely enough at their work to notice. I sew a lot, and I'd definitely be double checking anything I was doing at the machine, if only to check the orientation of the pieces. I'm just surprised no one ever noticed at any stage.
I LOVE this bra!! It is SO georgious!! And Saskia made the boo boo right too!!
Congrats!! It looks GREAT on you!!! : )
Wanabee Thank you! It's really comfortable so far, and so pretty.
I dont think I have seen such a beautiful silhouette of my own body until now. Money well spent. I just have to play around with sizing till I get the perfect size ohhhh and the panties fit PERFECTLY>
I'm in love with this bra! I was so worried that the band would be too tight, or the cups too big, or the straps too wide after my (really long) wait, but everything is pretty much perfect. The band does run a bit tight, and the cups are more closed off than is standard for a CHP. If you have tall roots or upper fullness, size up. They're also a bit stiffer than the other CHPs I own which will make them less flexible in fit. I can't wear this with the removable pads, but I don't think I could size up in the cups without gaping due to my lack of upper fullness. The lift provided by this bra is (as is typical for the style) quite impressive. I really don't know how Ewa does it!
So she still makes 55 bands upon request? I thought she had stopped. That's good news!
Yeah she does for just the custom fee. On a lot of them they list the 55 band sizes, but I've gotten some (that are still on the way) made that didn't have 55 band sizes listed at the bottom.
I adore this bra! It gives great cleavage and lift without the removable pads and crazy-town cleavage with them. The style is short root friendly and accommodates a lot of projection while still keeping a rounded appearance. I think I may be an Ewa Michalak convert https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />. The attention to detail in the styling is lovely and the crosshatch continues to the back of the bra. The band is (obviously) too large for me, but I'm going to alter it anyways. If you're looking at this style, keep your regular band size because the band does run on the stretchier side of true to size. The straps are wideset and fully adjustable and the clasp is a 2x3. I'm definitely a big fan of the S style! I wasn't sure if I'd like the higher gore, but it gives a nice "Cakes on a Plate" look.
Re: being an EM convert - from the extensive measurement-stalking I've done of EM bras in my size, 9.9 times out of 10 the wires of EM bras are 0.2-0.4" (if not more) wider than Comexim bras in my size. I noticed in your review you pointed out the width & I just wanted to point out that it's probable that would be the case in most EM bras your size. I do believe Comexim is known as the narrowest wires currently available in padded bras.
This bra looks terrific on you! Great review. The style suits you to a T.
You may want to include a link to the product page in your reviews. You could link to the retailer/manufacturer page or even the bratabase page. That way, if it's still available, people could track it down more easily or see measurements and reviews. The Kamea is an older style, so Ewa Michalak will probably take down the page soon, when it's sold out. Then bratabase will be the only place to see it, besides the blogs that reviewed it.
lcl0706 That's really interesting. I had heard as well that Comexim has the narrowest wires in a padded bra, but my Comexim's are all either 5 inches or 4.9 as well. I think they maybe have a minimum wire width that they use that makes your size about the same width as mine.
learningaboutbras That's a great idea! I'll definitely add that. I think that Kamea is only available now in the 3D style on EM's website. I'll definitely add links to the posts I can find things for.
This bra is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice. The mint with black lace overlay is both sexy and sweet. There's a beautiful black satin bow on the center gore with gem detailing. The straps are black with a smooth finish and fully adjustable. The cups are a very deep plunge and where the strap meets the cup doesn't bother my armpits at all and also has a small black satin bow. The backband is quite stretchy and I have to wear this on the tightest set of hooks. There are two rows and four columns of hooks on the backband.
*All pictures were taken with the cookies in the cups.
I don’t usually share reviews on the front page for a bra I’m just repurchasing in a size up/down unless I feel there is something important to take away. So here we have Kleks. I know some have had a love hate relationship with Kleks, me included. So why, did I buy it in a 65GG and return it the first time? Well at the time my 65G was the smallest ...cut out of my 65G BM collection. So at the time I was trying to get a better fit. The 65GG I originally purchased was also cut very small! The band of the original 65GG was tight to the point I felt constructed and uncomfortable! The cup seemed to fit wonderfully, but the straps felt way too wide and annoyed the heck out of me. So back she went to the US retailer I purchased from.
Flash forward to today, and my bust have grown due to body fat redistribution, perimenopause, and age. So I decided to rebuy my whole bra collection in a cup up. When it came to Kleks I was on the fence about buying, knowing the woes I had with it before. So here she is. She fits great! So I guess the moral of the story is, if one doesn’t work, giving it a shot later down the line and it just might work. There can be so many factors involved on how something fits when it’s hand made. Everyone has a different sewing method and no two seamstresses sew the same.
Finally my dark blue bra that didn’t leave me feeling blue. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 204 more words
Glad it eventually worked out for you. I totally love bras in dark blue. “ and my bust have grown due to body fat redistribution, perimenopause, and age” oh boy do I relate to this right now! I’ve had to get my Comexims in a larger size even though I haven’t gained any weight. I’m still nervous to get Ewa’s in a size up though since it didn’t work out the last time I tried. However, as you mentioned, sometimes we gotta try and try again ;)
margesimpson Yeeessss!!! My weight hasn’t changed, yet I clearly needed the cup up. I actually tried the BM in 65GG the first time I ever purchased that style. They were definitely too big. So I went with 65G at the time. I held onto them should I ever need them. And I’m glad I did. It gave me the opportunity to reassess fit. Thankfully all the matching panties I have still fit the same way they always have. Just when you think you have things figured out, your body goes and changes.
Happy2BraShop i know right? Now I’m hanging on to Ill fitting bras just in case, lol
Sorry it’s taken me a bit to get to the pictures and review…it’s been crazy at work, and we’ve been forced out of our apartment (old owners sold and new owner is moving in) so I have been packing and moving stuff. Luckily, we found another unit in the building, but it’s a 1br instead of a 2br like we have now.
Anyway, I immediately messaged the seller as soon as I saw this listing. I tried a 65FF CHP a few years ago when my boobs were bigger, and it was almost too small so I thought I would try a size down since I have lost ...weight. I was slightly nervous about it though, because the other one was sort of east west looking on me, but I was never sure if it was the CHP cut or the actual design aesthetics of the XOXO.
I’ve always had a mixed feeling about the Antonina, as I don’t really care for white lace bras, but I think it’s the combination of the beige shimmer underneath that makes this one work for my skin tone. I’m pale but semi warm. I think that whites on me need to be soft and muted rather than bright and crisp for them to work. Though, as a bra underneath my clothes, this is less important. I think it’s a very pretty combination, actually, and had it not been for this site, I might not have seen that with the details of others posting about it.
On to the fit…as mentioned before, I lost 20lbs last year, and with that, I have had a change in my shape as well. I’m 1-2 cups smaller, and my already soft tissue is significantly less full all over than it was before. When I put this on, I was honestly a little bit shocked that even a full size down was still big on me. I’m glad that I asked for the cookies even though I didn’t think I would have needed them, because I absolutely do! You can see there is some significant gapping without the cookies, and that it barely fits with the cookies, to the point where I am actually wondering if I could do a cup size smaller. Wearing with the cookies does feel a little bit weird, and these cookies are a pain, but it’s narrow and deep enough that it does not feel too shallow. Unlike the XOXO, I don’t feel especially east east west in this one.
Overall, I like the bra, and I plan to hold on to it, as it gives me a little more room to grow if I add more weight back. It fits well enough with the cookies for now. Read more 349 more words
This looks lovely on you! It reminds me of mermaid seashells. I’m with you, I’m not a fan of white bras in general, but this fabric is really pretty. Bummer it wasn’t a spot on perfect fit, but it still looks really nice.
Thanks!
I'm not usually one for beige bras either, but I think this one is so pretty. It looks really nice on you. I tried the BM antonina a while back and got rid of it because it was too small, but I wish I'd kept it for when I'm in that range. I fluctuate so much, I'm not sure why I ever get rid of bras for being one size too small or big.
Yeah there’s something about the Antonina lace and colouring that makes it pretty versatile. I’m still not a huge white lace or white bra fan, but I’m still open to some if I think it’s unique enough or has something that I think might work for me.
I purchased this because it’s the same color as the BM Heaven. This bra is exactly like the SF Nibynic, but in light blue.
This is a great light weight sky blue fine mesh bra. The fabric feels very comfortable and more relaxed. The bottom of the cup is a three part cup with a fine sky blue mesh over a matching non stretch fabric. The upper cup consists of fine sky blue stretch mesh folded over. The center gore has a mesh overlay with a pearl white button accent. The band is a fine sky blue mesh doubled up with the back clasp consisting of 3x4 ...hooks. All elastic is matching sky blue. The straps are a satin elastic and more on the stretchy side. The hardware is white. There are small pearl white buttons where the strap meets the cup.
Briefs in size 38: I just received these high waisted matching panties. I feel they run true to size and fit very smoothly. The front panel consists of the light blue mesh over a more thick light blue fabric. The side panels are made of one layer of light blue stretch mesh that wraps around the back with a center seam up the rear. There is a light blue elastic waistband. The front of the panties have two pearl white button where the center panel meets the side panel, near the lower leg hole. There is also a white pearl button at the top in the back of the waistband. There is a white cotton gusset. Read more 150 more words
OMG the buttons! I love button details on bras. This is making me miss my SM Wrozka. The more brss you buy, the more end up going on my wishlist lol. This looks gorgeous on you!
marilynne Oh man, Wrozka has a special place in my heart. I still have my 65G even tho it doesn’t fit and the band has deteriorated and wouldn’t be wearable even if the cup was the right size. I’m considering dismantling it and using it as a basic pattern to make cups to sew into the dresses I make for myself.
I love me a vibrant blue bra and this color is super. And I say that because my husband has dubbed this color “Superman blue”. It’s a beautiful cobalt blue color.
The fabric is more of a Lycra spandex. Not quite swimwear feeling, but lovely to the touch. The cup is the typical SF cut with the lower cup consisting of thee parts. The lower cup has the stretchy blue fabric over a black non stretch under layer. The center lower panel is made with a black mesh edged with black lace, that is only attached along the mesh sew line. There is a thin satin ribbon detail ...to mimic the look of a laced up cup. These are fixed in their position. There is black piping/seam covering over the horizontal cup line. The upper cup consists of a folded over stretchy material met with a upper corner piece the strap attaches to. This piece has the blue fabric over a black non stretch layer. The center gore has a cute black mesh detail with black lace edging along with a tiny black bow and diamond pendant. There is black seam covering along the outside of the wire for a nice contrasting look. The back band consists of the cobalt blue stretch fabric over a black power mesh. The edging elastic is all black with the straps consisting of black elastic with an ever so slight sheen to it. The front of the straps attaches with a black ring. All hardware is black. The back clasp consists of a 3x4 closure, my favorite!
I added a picture of me wearing this bra under a basic tee. As you can see the horizontal cup lining shows. I’ll be reserving this bra to wear under darker/thicker/patterned fabrics.
Briefs in size 38: These panties are made out of the same royal blue fabric as the bra. The front panel of the panties has black lace, same as on the bra cup, down the front in a V shape pattern. There are two small black buttons at near the top of the waistband. The back panel consists of the royal blue fabric as well as a fine black mesh diamond center insert. There are fine satin ribbons sewn on to give the illusion of a laced up look that ends in a small tied bow at the bottom. There is black lace that runs the perimeter of the mesh panel. With two of the lace strips continuing down to where the back panels meet the leg hole. There is black elastic lace along the top of the waistband and thin black elastic that runs the whole perimeter of the leg holes. There is a black cotton gusset. This particular pair runs slightly small in my opinion compared to other EM briefs in the same size. Read more 363 more words
BraOdyssey Surprisingly this is a comfy bra. I’m less aware I have it on as opposed to other EM bras I own. I’m eagerly awaiting my SF Garden, SF Szaron, and SF Motyl. I have a feeling SF in this size is going to be my new favorite cut. I may even ask to have a few of my favorite BM’s remade into SF cut.
This Color is amazing! It looks great on you.
Ooh, very pretty! I was curious what that cutout in the bra looks like “in real life.” I like it!
I bought this beautiful bra from Happy2BraShop (Thank you so much!).
My stats: 26HH/J according to the ABTF calculator, slightly FOT, tall and narrow roots, center full, close set and high set.
The look: This bra is super cute! It somehow balances cute and sexy perfectly. The bra consists of a light teal main fabric with a whimsical patterned black floral lace overlay. The lace covers almost the entirety of the cups and the cradle while the band consists of two layers of black powermesh. All hardware is black and there's a circular ribbon charm on the center gore, it's hard to describe but it's ...beautiful! The closure is 2x4 hooks as is typical of newish Ewas in this size. Unfortunately this bra is discontinued so I couldn't buy matching panties but I managed to find laguna briefs that match quite well. The cmain fabric is the same, but the lace is different and the center charm is the same as the blekitna with the colors inverted.
The fit: I may get a more technical fit in 65GG (or it's lower-banded sister sizes) but I think this is a good fit regardless. I feel fully supported, the wires are narrow enough and I don't quite quad but I definitely would if it weren't for my firm tissue and tall roots. Instead of quadding my boobs just like to migrate up to my neck in this. I'd be worried that a 65GG/60H would be too wide and stab my armpits so I think I'm going to stick to 65G for PL's. The gore of this bra is SO COMFY, I never thought I'd say that about an ewa gore but here I am. It's just low enough to not dig into my close-set and center full boobs AT ALL.
Overall: This bra is beautiful and a great fit for me in this size! My experience with this bra is so great that I want more PL's now! They may even overtake Comexim plunges as my preferred padded bra. Read more 231 more words
So glad you love it. I honestly wouldn’t even have noticed the panties weren’t the actual matching ones had you not pointed it out. They make for a really nice set.
Happy2BraShop Thank you! They do look so similar. jlcl119 actually found the laguna panties in an archived reddit post for me. The members of this site are so nice and really know their stuff!
I ordered this along with a custom CHP Wenecja, which I already reviewed, and a 65G CHP Roxana. I did get the matching briefs to this bra in size 34, which are beautiful and fit me perfectly (I have a 23.5" waist and 36" hips).
Like the Wenecja, this is a hint big in the cup, but my 60G Ewa bras are too small. I actually think the reason this, the Wenecja, and the 65G Roxana are a little big is not as much the cup depth but the cup HEIGHT. It is 6.5" whereas my 65FF/60G CHPs have a cup height between 5.9" and 6.1". I have ...even vertical fullness but short roots, making me effectively full on bottom; CHP bras are open on top and I just don't have the upper fullness to accommodate that in a taller cup. When I pinch the outer edge of the cup near my armpit to make the bra fit a little more closed on top, it fits perfectly. I think if this bra had even a quarter inch shorter cup, it would fit me better. It's odd because the other CHP bras listed on Bratabase in 60GG or 65G seem to mostly have a cup height between 6"-6.4", so I guess I just got unlucky.
In any case, this bra is stunning and I'm fine with using inserts to compensate for the slightly-too-big cup. It's comfortable and gives me a great round shape under clothing. The fabric is a beautiful metallic deep pinkish red (that's a color, right?). The band fits like most of my other EM 60 bands, stretching to a little under 27". The gore sits the slightest bit on my breast tissue on my bigger side, but I suppose that's just a thing that happens now. I'm happy with my purchases, if kind of frustrated that I no longer have or seem able to find any perfectly fitting bras. Read more 212 more words
After ~2 months and a lot of shipping troubles, I finally got this bra (thanks to MagdaBras4you )!
My UK size is 28FF/G depending on the bra. My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, extremely close-set, soft and self-supporting tissue.
This bra runs tight in the band and fits like a regular 28 on the loosest hook. The stretched band measurement without distorting the wires is also 28".
I can’t comment on how true to size the cups run because I’m not entirely sure of my UK size. In some parts of my cycle I fill the cups out completely but ...in other parts I get wrinkles on my smaller boob. I’m not sure if I should say this bra runs small. Maybe I’m sizing up because of my top fullness. The cups are narrow, projected and made with 2 layers - mesh and lace. It is beautiful! The mesh in the top section is stretchy.
The wire channel overlaps a little bit but not completely, but it’s comfortable enough for me. The straps aren’t though. They rub my armpits a lot and I haven’t had this problem with other bras. Read more 89 more words
About me: FOB, pendulous, soft tissue, centre full, close set, short roots, narrow shoulders, deflated upper tissue.
My first SF and I think I love it!
This is the SF in raspberry (Rodalit). I wasn’t really looking for another “pink” bra, however, this was on sale at a local boutique in my size and I wanted to try an SF with the possibility of returning/exchanging. It is a true raspberry colour that is quite stunning in person.
Fit: I did post a fit check as there was wrinkling and space at the bottom when I first tried it on. But as WildWolff suggested, I tried ...it on again and adjusted the cups in multiple areas, really hiked the bra and band up, and tightened the straps. It worked! (If you have an SF with the same space/wrinkling, try this first before judging the fit) There is still some wrinkling at the bottom but I think this is due to the nature of the stiffer fabric On the bottom half of the cups. I did before and after photos so you can see how much of a difference it made (and yes it takes a long time to adjust LOL) Straps are a bit wide set for my liking but they’re not uncomfortable so far. The band is TTS, cup width is great, and boy does this give some major liiiift! I love the rounder more uplifted shape it gives compared with the BM for me.
the fabric is a soft silky raspberry lined with stable somewhat stiff black material, and tops of the cups are a stretch raspberry mesh. The hooks are only 2x4 for some reason, I find it’s been random with EMs for the number of hooks in my size range.
Overall, it’s comfortable and I like the shape it gives.
EDIT: BM is more comfortable for me, the wide set straps are kind of digging in my armpits, but the shape is better. Hmm, I’m hoping that loosening the straps will help the discomfort without compromising the support... Read more 236 more words
