I just got this bra today and I love the fit. I usually get a 70J, and I'm not sure if the 70JJ is just overall a better size or if the 4 part cup construction is a better shape match or both, but this bra seems to be a much better fit for me than the 70J S cut bras. I like the color on it, but (in my opinion) its less bright than the website makes it appear. I'm not sure how the color will look on me once summer is over and I lose my tan.
For a little extra info, this band seems to run a little tighter than most of my other EM 70 bands, and this bra has an overlapping gore.
good to know its not quite that bright. in case i ever get desperate.
It is still fairly bright, but I expected something almost neon I guess
I want an S but dont like bright colors. I'm still holding my breath for the magique, but i'm starting to feel desperate! Glad this one fits better. I have considered going up to a K, as my panterra is a little small at times
I think on me the 4 part cups fit better giving more room in the lower cup and better lift . I was thinking about ordering this one in this size but now that I see the depth of only 12.4" I am glad I changed my mind at the last minute and went with my first thought of trying the new sf in a 70k we will see , I am soft so am compressible it might have worked but I am getting tired of squeezing into all my bras half of the month . I will keep this review in mind if I do get this one might have go bigger than I thought . Your review helps a lot thank you for taking the time to measure .
Yeah I was actually surprised by the depth measurement since it's similar to my 70Js so I rechecked and the measurement was right. But I think you're right that the bottom of the cup has more depth, so overall there's still more volume
Ewa manages to hold a lot of boob with very small measurements. i was told partly its due to having such narrow wires, there's less empty space around the outside. Idk. I do mound up over the top a lot.
it always kinda cracks me up that ppl in smaller sizes say the S is very closed on top - it sure is not for me. Its like a cup-of-boob, with the entire top uncovered, almost
I actually do usually find them to be pretty closed on top (though this one definitely isn't). It varies a little based on the bra itself, but my Granatowa Pantera is pretty closed off, though it's fine for me since I'm short rooted. Maybe it's the 3 part versus 4 part construction
I think it looks a lot more closed than yours does, so it might be a cup construction thing. My S Mojito has the same level of openness as your Pantera
Because I think yours have all been a 4 part cup construction whereas up until now, mine have all been 3 part constructions. So I think that's probably where the line is between being kind of closed off on top versus being pretty open on top
oh, right, i was thinking my eden was 70J, but its 75
kermitdafrog21 I too have found not much cup depth difference in 70J vs 70JJ S bras. I guess it's just due to that being the 3-4 part cup jump. It's almost like you have to jump from 70J to 70K to get more room in the cup.
It looks great on you, though! Such a pretty color.
BumbleBean I actually have a 70K that will be here eventually (I found one on allegro really cheaply so I figured why not), so I'll have to compare it when it gets to me. I'm actually not sure exactly which bra it is (they didn't write the name), but its definitely an S cut
it looks sooo good on you!!
I dont think the pictures were up when I first saw this . . .that does look like a much nicer color than i thought
dbmamaz Yeah, I hadn't put up pics yet when you first commented. Its more toned down than the stock photos, and also bluer. Actually oddly enough, I realized its the same color as my computer case, my phone case, and the shirt I was wearing when it arrived lol
To preface: I am currently 29" ribcage, 34.5-35" chest (depending on the day), pointy, slightly FoT, quite close-set. This is my first Ewa. I bought this bra off /r/braswap under the full expectation that I would have to take in the cups because I'm usually a 30D, this is a 65DD, and Ewa M. bras are usually reviewed as deeper than average in the cup. Instead, I was shocked to find it fit PERFECTLY if I leave the pads in. The narrow gore fits perfectly between my close-set breasts, the width is exact, the depth is great, and the cut matches my natural center fullness so well I barely need to scoop. I am left with a lovely rounded appearance and the seams are very subtle under clothes. My only quibble is that the straps are quite wide-set, but I wore the bra for several hours without them bothering me, so I don't think it will be a real problem.
I strongly believe that I was sent the wrong size in this bra. I attempted to remedy the issue with Ewa Michalak directly, but she did nothing but blame my body for the issues with the bra. CH Cherry is very immediately projected, and would work best for full on top or tall rooted shapes. The straps feel cheap and they're very thin. The stitching and finishing on mine is a bit questionable as well.
I'm so sorry! Thank you for sharing. This just cemented for me why I will never buy another EM. I've thought about a ch/chp cut but the overly wide straps don't work for me either I'm a 60FF/65F ish. This is also exactly why I will continue to support Comexim. Amazing bras and stellar customer service.
I just can't believe the attitude that they have as a company. It's stunning. But yes, Anna from Comexim is absolutely lovely! I'll only be buying Ewa through retailers or secondhand from now on.
I won't even buy it through retailers anymore. I don't want to support her company. Now secondhand is another story , but I'd still have to move the straps in which is a pain.

Ewa bras are the first bras that I've found that actually fit me, so I'll continue purchasing them, but I'll avoid using purchasing from her directly. I've read so many horror stories. I'd love to try Comexim half-cups, but i'm fairly confident they will not fit me well.
I'm sorry this happened to you, but thanks for the post!
Total crap customer service. Sorry to hear this happened to you. :(
I also found that this bra runs bigger :( I bought the 65F but it was ginormous (because I wore that cup size in Lilia and Onyx) and the 65E I have also is large in the cups. I ended up moving the straps in a little bit and it got rid of the gaping.
it must be so frustrating :( even if I also find the cups in Cherry bigger that in other models, I think it's because they're very open, all CHs I have owned have the same cup depth. your measurements clearly show there's something wrong. if I were you, I would consider sending the bra back with a claim, then they'll have to measure it and observe the problem themselves.
Too bad EM customer service isn´t very good... :-/
Fortunately their bras don´t fit me (I need wider wires) so I cannot buy them anyway. Back when I wore EM bras I also had to move straps in Every Single Time. We all remember how well EM solved that problem, which was so common for many customers...
Yes, your bra is absolutely a mistake, but you already know that :). You know how many CHs and CHPs I have, they're all within the same measurement range even though some are a little more open or a little more closed. They're also all in the same range as all of yours, except this Cherry which is entirely too deep. It really sucks that they are treating you this way, and I agree that it feels a little personal.
Oh man. I am SO happy to have this bra. I've been obsessed with it since I found out about EM, but knew that it would be unlikely that I'd ever come across it in my size. I'd actually emailed Kaska before asking if I could have one made, and she said there was no more fabric left. So, when one, brand-new and in my size, bizarrely turned up in her shop almost two years after it was discontinued, it was a bra miracle! (Thank you so much to jlcl119 for finding it and posting here that it was available!!)
After wearing it all day yesterday, I can say ...that the Lawenda is hands down my favorite CHP I own. It fits like a glove! I didn't realize before how comparable it is to my 30G - Ewa Michalak » Pl Wrzos (443). Same dusty lavender fabric and stretchy half-adjustable straps. I'm 5'5" and right now the straps are perfect adjusted almost to the top, but eventually I may have to alter them or buy a Strap Saver. The cup height is perfect, high enough for stability but low enough to create spherical cakes-on-a-plate cleavage. The wires sit and stay perfectly in my IMF, and as compared to the 65J - Comexim » Sonia Half Cup (406) I recently tried, the cups accommodate upper and center fullness SO much better. The band is on the stretchy side for a 65. Overall, the bra is exceptionally comfortable, simple and so beautiful with its pink-lavender lace and small bows. The matching panty has a ruffle all the way around with the same lace, I absolutely love it. Read more 172 more words
The CHP Lawenda looks great on you, VioletIridescence . What a miracle it became available in your size, years after it was discontinued, brand new from the manufacturer!
Thank you! It really was... I'm going to treasure this one eternally! Haha.
That bra fits you fabulously!! Looks great too!
Beautiful fit!!!
I've been in love with this bra from the moment I saw it. I was so happy to see you get it when jlcl119 posted about it recently. Sometimes, these things are just meant to be. :) It looks perfect! I think it may have been made just for you.
Thanks so much Anya99 ! I'd like to think so too :)
These short roots of mine led me to believe I needed smaller cups. But, I continually experienced pain and discomfort. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing again and again and expecting different results. This is my first 70FF and it fits. 38 bras and 1 that fits: this is a new beginning. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> This model does not have cookie pockets, but I often find the pocket seam irritating. So, I'm thrilled it is pocket-free. My previous CHP experience was a Klaudyna which I rejected because of its stiffness. This CHP snuggles and reminds me of Comexim bras: comfortable! I had almost rejected Ewa Michalak because they were uncomfortable: I just needed more space. Thank you, kubrika for exchanging!
What's not to love?? Simple yet sexy, good room at the wire, narrow but not SO narrow it shoves everything out in front a la Cleo. Really, a lovely shape. I'm hooked. I want more.
This looks fantastic! Short-root friendly and projected: woo hoo!!
I so need a nude! My long sleeve white summer garden shirts (I sunburn instantly) won't hide black.
This is perfect on you!
For what it's worth, I am full on top and have tall roots, and SM fits great on me, too. It may be that I had to size up one cup size to get the best fit though (I have not confirmed this theory as I have only tried SM in 65GG. In other brands and in chp I am 65G, but I have not tried SM in 65G, so I am not certain that 65G would cut in or not).
Lovely bra! Was just looking at this one yesterday but opted for an S style instead. Looks great on you! Wear it proudly!
Ayouthfulporpoise good point! Now that you mention it I remember your 65GG review & agree it worked fabulously on you!
that's really pretty. im just amazed that the apex of the bra is really near your nipples/areola. ive never had a bra that fits like that.
I bought this bra mostly because of the spaghetti straps, otherwise I wasn’t enthralled by the design. Actually the stock photos don’t do it justice. It’s a very elegant bra. It reminds me of the CH Purple that I still regret not having bought. I think it’s even more beautiful and thoroughly designed. The cut is a perfect copy of the Onyks - narrow wires and open cup. The cup volume is typical for this cut, the band is TTS. I like the contrast between the black, shiny elements (straps, band, the satin ribbon on and under the cups) and the mat material on the cups. The cups (probably rose) ...are overlaid with a black lace that gives them an elegant purple colour. As always, I find the central bow too big and rather kitsch https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Unfortunately, it’s not as comfortable as Syrena. I would like to curse the person who designed these straps and punish her by obliging to adjust them every day to the end of time! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> They are UNADJUSTABLE without additional tools (they should provide them with the bra). The problem is the sliders are thinner than the straps (also in the spaghetti straps), which makes it really hard to move it. I also find the straps are too thin for this size, hard and overall uncomfortable (which also reminds me of the Onyks). That being said, the band, even though not as soft as in Syrena, is pretty nice and firm. It feels quite strange to have these additional straps, I’ll have to get used to feel them on the upper part on my breast. I would prefer the sliders less visible or no sliders at all. I'm not sure yet if I'll dare to wear this bra outside with the spaghetti straps showing off. I actually haven’t decided yet if I’ll keep it (the statistics say I will, I’ve never sent back any of my EM bra so far).
EDIT: I added measurements and they confirm that this bra has very narrow underwires, the narrower of all the CHs I've owned (I took the measure 3 times). Happily there's enough depth in the cup for the breast tissue. That is actually typical for this style which gives a very projected shape.
The shoulder straps are terrible! Are they super stretchy too?
I think it looks good on you, and I agree about the cup straps. I really like them, but I don't if I'm edgy enough to pull off letting them peek out.
Oh I love it! And I'm one of those weird ones that loves thin shoulder straps. I'm also not sure about the bow, but maybe I'll like it more in person. This style really does look lovely on you!
they aren't SUPER stretchy, but stretchier than I would prefer. It's barely enough for me, but not enough for bigger cups I think, I hope they took it into consideration in bigger sizes.
PetiteCollegiate thanks :) I also like thin shoulder straps in Freya bras, because they are thick and soft. Gossard makes wonderful thin straps, still supportive. The bow is horrible but I get used ;) It seems like they put gigantic bows when they don't have any better idea ;) I far prefer small and discrete adornments like in HP Kobalt, CHP Noir or S Orzechowa Pralinka.
I hope they're better in bigger cups too. I don't mind the thinner straps too much as long as they are not also too stretchy. If they're both narrow and very elastic they dig and hurt.
I love Ewa's giant bows. Especially on the backs of underwear, I feel like my bum is a gift :) I also really like the delicate bows. The little bow with the pearl charm on HP Kobalt is very sophisticated and lovely.
I haven't thought about a gift :D I think Ewa really likes these bows too because she uses them very often, it's a kind of trademark. I find them too imposing but they don't dissuade me from purchasing.
This is the bra that almost wasn't. For me, anyway.
I wanted this bra so so so bad, almost as much as I wanted the Ewa Michalak Chp Gazeta (447). I asked every user on here that had one in my size if they'd sell it to me. I put out ISO posts on Reddit. I asked Ewa to please sew me one at the end of June and I was told they no longer make it, I was out of luck. Then around the end of July, Tanzilove posted about her bra haul. She had a Prohibicja in there and mentioned it had been ...sewn for her. What?! So, I emailed Ewa again. I made no mention of my previous inquiry or anything else, I just asked for a 65E Prohibicja and matching 36 bottoms. And they made it! Yay! Thank you for your offhand comment, Tanzilove!
Okay, so the bra itself is pretty unique. I love the menswear aesthetic mixed with the frilly and the prep. It's got a sort of 1920s gangster suit vibe to it and I think the name is really apt. The necktie accents really make this bra. I don't think I'd like it as much if they were bows. Bows are everywhere, neckties though, I've never seen those. The white pinstripe material is a really soft jersey type thing. It looks good now, it's new, but I'm worried it may look pilly after some wash and wear. The band is a nice and comfortable typical EM 65. I can wear it comfortably on the loosest set of hooks (4 pairs) and it pretty much disappears on my body. I put it on yesterday around 6:30 am and wore it until 8pm and I felt nothing all day. No adjustments either. The straps are comfortable. They're not super stretchy and they're pretty soft. The adjusters are metal and a little thin. They hurt my fingers to pull them into place, but they stay put. So, at least I don't have to mess with them often. The cups are an appropriate depth for me and are nice and narrow. They're slightly under 5" and they're about as narrow as I can go. I didn't feel them at all. They stayed in my root and follows it up the sides perfectly. The shape is right up front, slightly pulled in to the ribcage and very round. It's slightly minimized as in there's more "globiness" as opposed to projection, but it's also enhancing. Very purple. This will be a great bra for v-necks, even without the pads.
As far as quality, eh. This was sewn for me right before they went on vacation. In fact, it shipped their last day in the office. So, it was probably rushed a bit and that shows. There are some crooked seams, the necktie accents are looped too loose and are not attached as well as I think they should be. None of this interferes with the function of the bra, it is all aesthetics, but appearance is why I wanted this one so bad. It's a little disappointing that it isn't perfect.
I got both pairs of bottoms in a 36 for my 38" bum. They're a perfect fit. They're sort of a higher rise, which is fine. The pom pom scalloping catches super easy. The side zipper on my skirt pulled at one yesterday when I was putting it on. I fixed it, but I'll be putting those underwear on after skirt/dress with a zipper in the future.
Minor complaints aside, I am very happy with this set. Read more 487 more words
This, is, adorable. I love the aesthetics. Looks good on you too!
I never noticed those were neckties, how cut! Wish a bra would 'disappear' on me for that long. almost makes me want a reduction.
jlcl119 YAY!!! I am so happy you finally git it!! I am still in love with mine, and I feel the same about the fit, the "disappearing" is the perfect word. Once I put it on, I don't have to worry about adjusting during the day at all. i love the roundness that CHPs give :) Mine hasn't pilled or anything yet, and I hand wash it. I got the thongs, and the little balls on them make me crazy. lol
As soon I got this baby home, I snapped a pic of it and sent it to the boyfriend with the caption, "I hope you like this, because it's never coming off my body." Holy moly, what a gorgeous bra. The pics online truly do not do it justice. The cups have a similar lace pattern as the Ewa Michalak Pl Orange (545) , but this one feels more subtle and, in my opinion, better -- likely because the pattern is the same color as the rest of the lace. The metallic sheen is not obnoxious at all, and can only be noticed as metallic in ...certain light. The bra is almost luminescent. Words may be failing me, but trust when I say it's GORGEOUS.
As for sizing, I agree with a previous review that the band is very stretchy. I tend to run somewhere between a 75 and 80 in EM bands, and this feels just a touch too loose than I'd prefer it starting out. It doesn't ride up, praise be to Ewa, but it doesn't feel as firm as I'd like it. The cups fit true to size for an S model. The straps, a gorgeous mint green, which play perfectly with the aqua blue of the cups, are fully adjustable -- thank you EM! I hope she keeps up making her straps fully adjustable, as they are appreciated.
I also bought the matching briefs with this, and they run TTS for other EM panties I've purchased. The fit is closer to a short than brief. If you're debating whether or not to get the matching panty, honestly I'd say to pass. They're fine and comfortable and all that, but I wish they had more of the beautiful lace rather than being mostly the matte fabric on the band of the bra. I don't regret buying them, but EM has done better.
SUPER belated review! Lavender is my favorite color, so when I saw SF Garden I knew I would need it someday, but her SF bras don't fit me great and aren't super flattering on me. I initially asked for Ewa to make it a CHP, but she couldn't so I had her make it into a PL cut. I normally wear 65G in her PLs but someone told me the SF Garden ran loose in the band, so I ordered a 60GG.
Unfortunately, this bra is just too big in the cups and too small in the band. I can add cookies to both sides (I add two cookies ...to my smaller side) and make the cups fit, and I can use an extender to make the band fit better. The stretched band measurement isn't any smaller than most of my 60 band Ewa bras, but the unstretched measurement is half an inch to an inch smaller. That might be why it feels too tight; my ribcage has almost no squish. I highly prefer not to have to bother with extenders, which is another reason I haven't really worn this.
For some reason, the wires are also too narrow - I've never found a bra so narrow it actually sat on my breast tissue on the side, but this bra does that on my bigger side, just the tiniest bit but enough to be uncomfortable. When I took the measurements I measured the cup width at 5.1 inches, which is typical of EM bras in this size range, but it may have been more like 5 inches. No matter how much I scoop and swoop from the side I can't seem to make the wires feel comfortable.
The bra is absolutely beautiful and the panties are so soft and silky. I'm incredibly sad that I can't make this work for me and am considering ordering another PL Garden in a 65FF. Read more 210 more words
I want the SF Garden (actually the SF version!) SO bad. This looks lovely on you--too bad it didn't work out.
Garden is one of my favorite fabrics she uses. I had a custom BM version made, but need to have another one made in a larger size. It does look lovely on you. Do you plan to try for another one? It’s such a beautiful pattern.
Happy2BraShop I just sent her an email asking her to make me one in 60G! This 60GG has an unusually tight band and unusually narrow wires compared to her other PLs in that size, so I'm hoping the 60G will solve the problem of the cups being too big and be truer to size with respect to the other two issues.
moonshineforest Crossing fingers for you second times a charm. I’m thinking about ordering another BM version of garden and a few others. The Pin-Up Doll I just got was more generous in the cup and very comfy in the band. But my order of Emerald and Imię Róży before that we’re small in the band. Especially the Imię Róży. That one is definitely more like a 60 band. It’s always a gamble with hand made.
I got this bra along with 60G - Ewa Michalak » Chp Antonina from Bella Rosa Lingerie on Instagram, based in the UK. I had previously tried a 65FF in April but it was too big in the band, so I sent it back for an exchange. I lost track of my UK size because I almost exclusively wear Polish now, but I guess I'm a 28FF. My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, soft and self-supporting tissue, and super close-set.
I think it's a perfect fit for me. The band is snug (I would say it's true to size). The cups are narrow and projected, and the stretch lace at the top section accommodates my top fullness and tall roots so well. The gore is pretty low and partly overlapped. The bra actually looks pinker worn than placed on my darker pink bed sheets.
I have 0 complaints about this bra. Great fit, comfort and appearance!
*Update includes two bottoms, including a custom made pair.
Oh. My. Gosh!! She glows! I want to start out by saying this color is a very bright neon coral. Not too pink, not too orange. I’m very glad, because I look hideous in orange! The cup is a three part bottom with a white non stretch lining covered by neon coral swimsuit material. The upper cup consists of one layer of swimsuit fabric folded over in itself. The swimsuit fabric is not shiny and very soft. The center gore has a cute tiny white pearl button detail. The back band is one layer of swimsuit fabric over a ...layer of white stretch mesh. The edging of the lower and upper edge of the back band are covered using swimsuit fabric.There is one white plastic swimsuit clip in the back. The straps are elastic covered with coral swimsuit fabric. There are white hook and loop connectors connecting to the front of the cup. There are no other details. The fit on this is amazing! I can bend over and move around and don’t fall out. Great, since I have a little one to look after. Love the ability to cross or uncross the straps. This can help aid in not getting bad strap tan lines. This is so comfortable and the color! It makes me look tan without actually being tan.
I ended up purchasing the matching Brazilian briefs, size 38: The Brazilian bottoms consists of one panel in the front and two panels in the back, with a seam up the rear. The waistband dips down in the front into a V shape. The inside is fully lined with one layer of white swimwear mesh. There is no additional lining in the crotch.
Custom made briefs modeled after the Czarna Mamba style: Size 38 I love this bottom! I needed a bottom I can wear to public pools with rules on coverage. This pair fits the bill. It’s full coverage, but not matronly at all. This is a basic pair with a front panel and a back panel. The inside is fully lined in one layer of white swimwear mesh. There is no additional fabric in the crotch. Read more 258 more words
I measure around a UK 26GG/28G lately and was sure that this would be too big for me, but it actually fits great on my bigger side. The wires are about two fingers' width too wide for me, but they don't stab me in the armpit so that doesn't bother me. I wear the band on the second loosest hook since it rides up a bit on the loosest.
The last time I tried a PL was the 60G PL Misty that's a little small on my bigger side now and not nearly as flattering as my beloved CHPs, but I wanted ...to give the cut a shot again. I'm glad I did because this bra is super flattering on me! I'm still never going to get buttcrack cleavage in a wired bra, but this gives me serious lift and "oomph." I'm not sure what distinguishes this one from the PL Misty but they really do very different things for my chest.
The gore is nice and low but the wire digs into my sternum on my right (bigger) side for some reason even though the cup separation is the same as on my CHPs. I can wear this all day but that wire definitely bothers me. Aside from that, it feels great. The cup construction is a little weird, with what seems like extra fabric below the seam that runs along a couple inches beneath the top of the cup, but doesn't affect the appearance. All in all, I'm super happy with my purchase and might have to reconsider my dislike of the PL cut! Read more 164 more words
All I can say is, I just found my every day go-2, wear under almost everything bra! First, this bra is very comfortable. The silky smooth fabric is just amazing! And second, can I just say this tan color gives me a wow vibe despite it being more of a basic bra. The cup is a three part construction, with a single layer of silky fabric on the lower cups and a single layer of stretch lace. The center gore has a small beige bow with a diamond pendant hanging from it. The back band is made using a tan stretch power mesh with the elastic along the band being slightly lighter in color. The straps are tan with a satin finish. The straps connect to the front of the cup using a metal ring, with all hardware being a beige color. There’s is a 3x4 back clasp closure. I will be purchasing this same bra again as well as in black.
The Bibi bras are really nice. This colour is beautiful. I like it better than the Bezowa.
Calluna Totally agree. I had a Bezowa when it first came out, back when 65G still had 3 rows of hooks, and I just didn’t reach for it. I think the color has a lot to do with it. It was just too light to work as a neutral under clothes. This, tho, I’ll be getting lots of miles out of it.
This looks great on you! Glad it worked out so well for you too. I’ve been eyeing this one to get a more true “nude” bra. I’ve tried one bibi, the scarlet one, and it was a bit too small. Once I figure out my Ewa size I’m getting this one!

Omg they’re sold out of this one *cries*. I’ve asked to be notified when in stock again
margesimpson I just saw they don’t have it on the EM website anymore. I got this one from Lavana Bratique, and it must have been the only one in this size. I really wanted to get another one. I also got on the notification list. I might email EM and ask if they have any fabric or plan to make more. :(
Congratulations! That looks like a great fit. Just curious- you said it is super comfortable bit it looks like the straps are digging into your shoulders quite a bit. Does that get uncomfortable during the day?
billi09 I actually don’t keep my straps very tight. Especially on my right side due to an old shoulder injury from a dirt bike accident lol. I have pretty prominent muscles from my neck to my shoulders and bony shoulders. So I have dents at this section. Those along with my current body fat % makes it look as if the straps are digging in. For me this is my most comfortable bra as far as unlined goes and I can wear it all day no issues.
I purchased this from Forever Yours Lingerie located in Canada. I believe this might be an exclusive bra to their store as I don’t think I’ve seen this on Ewa Michalak’s website.
This bra is a very light ballet pink. It actually looks way nicer in person than the pictures online. The lower cup consists of the typical three part cup, with a textured fabric over a white stiff fabric. This bra runs stiff in the lower cup like SF Motyl and SF Szaron. So if you need that stiff structure, this has it. With this stiffer fabric you do get some rippling that is more visible due ...to the color and texture of the top fabric. The upper cup consists of a light pink power mesh folded over on itself. The center gore has a nice small satin bow with a square rhinestone center. The lower rocker of the bra has the same textured fabric that ends on the side of the wing where it meets the light pink power mesh back band. All elastic is light pink. The straps have a sheen to it and does not have any adornments where the strap meets to cup. The hardware is white. The back clasp is a 3x4 closure. I feel this bra runs slightly more snug in the band compared to my other SF’s.
There were no matching panties that I could find for this bra. Read more 129 more words
This looks like an amazing summer bra! It's adorable! Does it feel lightweight?
BraOdyssey It is definitely a light color. More pink than BM Apricot and much lighter. It’s a lovely color.
marilynne I’m going to say no, it doesn’t feel light. I think SM or SMN would be much better summer bra’s due to the breathable mesh. This is very structured like Motyl and Szaron. But of course in any summer heat, sweating into a bra is better than just having under boob/cleavage sweat lol. One wish I have is for an SM in a totally neutral flesh tone. That would be amazing.
I had a SM wanilla that was literally amazing for summer. I wish ewa would make more like it.
My stats: 26H according to the ABTF calculator, slightly FOT, firm tissue, tall and narrow roots, center full, close set and functionally high set.
The look: Oh my god I could go on forever about how beautiful this bra is. The base fabric is a very light purpley-blue, almost periwinkle. All elastic matches it. The embroidery on the cups consists of gold glittery ribbons (they do show through T-shirts in bright lighting), light blue roses and dark blue roses, both types of roses are made of very shiny thread. The cup is 3 layers; lace, blue base fabric and ...ewa's standard stiff mesh lining. There's a shiny gold bow on the gore which I have to say I'm not a huge fan of, I'd literally die of happiness if she released this exact bra but replaced all the gold with silver. I think the colors would compliment each other more. All hardware is the same color of blue as the base fabric. The panties are... interesting. They're high rise, but not actually high rise. Just enough to need to wear high waisted jeans with them or a skirt. They're made of the same base fabric as the bra with lace accents on the front. The gusset is cotton and they're a bit of a cheeky style. They have a cutout in the back and the waistband is held together above the cutout in the back by two elastic straps connected by a beige colored ring. I personally am not a fan and would not get this style again.
The fit: The band is slightly snug for a 60, it fits about like a 26 band. The cups are very narrow with good projection and immediate projection. It fits pretty TTS in the cup, but it is a bit closed on top so it cuts into my upper roots but it isn't noticeable under clothes. I get a bit of quadding after S&S but it disappears after my tissue settles. I have firm tissue that always returns to it's pre-S&S setting and doesn't like to be moved around so mild quadding like thus isn't an issue. If you find that your S&S holds throughout the day you may consider sizing up in the cup if you're a similar shape to me. The gore is just low enough to tack on me but does get a bit uncomfortable throughout the day because it sits on breast tissue. The wires are SO narrow, SM definitely has the narrowest wires of any EM cut. The straps are too far apart for me too but that's standard for Ewa.
Overall impression and rating: 4.75/5 stars, this is about as close to a perfect bra as it gets for me. The quality is insane, it's ridiculously beautiful and it fits quite well. The wires are softer than BM/SM wires, which is a plus for me, the wires fit my roots perfectly and the band runs snug enough to fit me. Read more 396 more words
That fabric is so beautiful! It has such a regal look to it. The panties are super cute! I’ve noticed a lot of her recent undies have that back, more of a Brazilian cut to them. Great for anyone who can pull it off. Unfortunately I’m not one of them. My rear would eat it, giving me a bunched up wedgie lol.
Oh, definitely agree that silver thread would be amazing! It’s such a beautiful bra. I think I might need to get more in this cut since I do need a little bit of a closed edge. I had one a while ago.
Happy2BraShop I know, right? I'm almost tempted to get another one as a PL or something because the fabric is just gorgeous. I'm not a huge fan of the panties either to be honest. My rear eats them up and gives me a weird wedgie too unfortunately. I'm not sure how ewa intended them to stay in place. I wish she made a matching regular brief.
Calluna a silver threaded faberge would be too gorgeous. I wish it was possible! I'm a huge fan of SM cuts, the wires are super narrow and the gore feels nice and low. I definitely recommend getting one in your new size.

Oh she is a beauty who looks delicate, but make no mistake she is firm. This bra fabric and construction really reminds me of the SF Szaron. The fabric is more on the stiff side. Also note this fabric is the exact same fabric used in the PL Opium.
This bra is eye catching with pops of color that scream spring to me. The lower cup is made with the three part construction using the printed fabric over white non stretch fabric. The upper cup is one layer of bright pink stretch lace. The center gore has a white mesh keyhole with a cute white butterfly over a ...bright pink bow on it. The rocker of the bra has the bright pink lace that ends just before the side wings. The back band is the printed fabric over white stretch mesh. The back clasp is a bright pink 3x4 closer. The straps are a satin shine bright pink with the hardware being white. The straps connect to the front of the cup with a bright pink satin cord that also has cute white butterflies on them. Due to the nature of this fabric the band is firm, but still comfortable.
Briefs in size 38: I purchased the matching briefs when I acquired the PL Opium since the fabric is the same. The front of the panties is made using the bright pink lace over a white mesh. The side panels connect to the back panels with seams on the sides. There is a back seam up the rear. The back of the panties has a matching bright pink bow with a white butterfly on it. The panties have a cotton gusset. Read more 172 more words
This looks amazing on you! It also looks like it gives a rounder shape than your other SFs. Or is it a trick of the light/angle? Either way it's gorgeous and I can't wait for mine to come! Btw, according to jlcl119 the butterflies on the straps and gore stain super easily so you may want to remove them for the first few washes and reattach them once the dye isn't so saturated in the fabric.
marilynne I feel this one gives a rounded shape as well. Much like the Sf Szaron. I think the stiffer fabric lends to it keeping more of its shape. Oh wow good to know on the color transfer. Tho I did wash it already and don’t notice anything. I wash mine I a caged bra bag with a load of like colors using cold water. Promptly remove and hang to dry. :)
Oh narrow gore heaven. Invisibly seamless marvel of support. Of the few bras I've found with any real depth, this one allows for true overall fullness, without attempting to jostle, cramp or 'push up' my self-supporting & painfully fibrous shape, especially on the sides.
Instead, the cup allows for natural projection from the ribs to be cradled in most subtle manner up from the wire, thus the inner center of cup is artfully darted to pull upper breast in at the hem, with a slight pointed effect at the apex. You'd think this ...would give a cone effect but hah, no. Burgund's sole duty is to reign in projection only at the last possible moment at farthest reaches, and prevent the whole from overflowing or pulling down the cup. Perhaps one of the more interesting FOB to even fullness hybrids I've seen around.
Lo, Ewa has heard our misery, and created an honest piece of work by which the masses may live through these dark times. Now if only it had the lovely new style of strap which has been seen in the PLM cut. Read more 94 more words
After my success with having my local boutique order me a 75J - » Bm MalachitEwa Michalak , I enlisted them to help me acquire an green Ewa Michalak bra. Due to a mixup somewhere, the boutique received a 70J instead of a 75J. Luckily, this bra has stretch lace cups like my 75J - Ewa Michalak » Bm Koronkowa , so with an extender (gifted by the boutique), the fit was a bit more forgiving than the tulle-lined styles I own. The gore didn't quite tack, but that holds true for all my 75J EM bras except for the BM Koronkowa. I think I might try getting a 70JJ the next time I order an EM bra, since I only needed the 2nd of 4 sets of hooks on the extender.
Love the scalloped lace on the cup edge! Looks lovely on you.
Awesome that they gave you an extender. Sounds like an awesome store! And that Bm Emerald looks great on you. Do the sides of the cups feel shorter than similarly sized Bms to you?
Through my best friend, I got a pretty good understanding about bras and sizing and such probably a decade or more ago, but I got a much bigger understanding about bras, fits, characteristics, and Polish bras probably 4-5 years ago. At the time, I was measuring somewhere in the 30E/F UK range. At the time, my other friend that was teaching me about Polish bras sent me her 65F - Ewa Michalak » Mp Kleksik (609) to try and gage sizing despite being a discontinued style. This led me to my first Ewa Michalak bra from the listings (as I had to send my friend her ...bra back). About 3 years ago, I gained a little weight and I soon needed a cup size up and took a 65FF or 70F. Then I lost a lot of weight this year and I no longer fit them, so I figured that as I’m measuring about the same as I was before, I would give a 70E/65F a try again, as my 70E - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Black (1000) was fitting me better than when I bought it and was still a little larger (this one runs a bit bigger than most BMs).
So I was approached to do a trade with one of my listed sets, and I picked this set to do it with. Boy am I so pleased!!! I was nervous about the band being snugger, but was assured that it was a little relaxed from the initial measurements. And it’s not a lace band so I had hoped that it would not be too tight. And technically my snug under bust measurement is a little bit smaller now.
The band is still snug but I think it’s ok. I might have to ease into it like the 28G - Comexim » Onyks Non-padded Half Cup Underwire Bra (CMONYK. But I’m ok with that. Or even use an extender briefly. The cup width and depth seem to be perfect for me and I think the height is ok. The only bad thing about the fit is the typical wide Ewa straps. The extra bows on the straps were cut off by a previous owner and I am completely ok with that. I personally hate them.
The teal lace is just stunning, and while the pink accents are not my favourite, I think they do look good. The colours are kind of reminiscent of the Syrena bras. This bra is much better on me that the one I traded it for.
I think the fit is good. The matching bottoms are perfect too. I could probably have done a size smaller but this size fits me comfortably.
***********************
Just wanted to update my review a little bit now that I have worn it some...I did hold off on wearing the 3 new bra sets until I figured out how many sets or bras I had that fit (or mostly fit) for rotation purposes. I’d still like a few more that fit a bit better, but I decided to start wearing them. This one is a snugger band, as mentioned, but it’s completely doable for a full day at work. The only fit issue or concern that I have is that I gape a little bit at the strap and cup connection, though I think it’s more the functionally short roots from soft, pendulous, fob tissue. I suspect that a cup size down will be too small.
All in all, I really love this set! Read more 483 more words
you know, it's not really "crazy" in my book. Just b/c it has the two different colours...almost looks a little sporty with the stripe down the side. : )
Thanks BraOdyssey !!! Yeah I’m not sure what makes it called Crazy either. I love it! It’s not too pointy, and it’s fairly rounded and lifted. This one looks way better on me than the one I traded. It’s much more me.
Wow, it looks fantastic on you!
Thanks Wilderness1 ! I love it so much! You had this one too, right?
Calluna yes, and I loved it! I only traded it because it was for a set, I had 2 green bras already, and I wanted to try an SF. I love the aesthetics of EMs green-to blue bras....so pretty!
good to know its not quite that bright. in case i ever get desperate.
