    Didn't fit

    I’ve finally decided to size up the cup. To try the new size, I chose the cheapest model available on the site.
    The band in Pralinka is TTS or even truer than the size… I prefer to wear it with an extender for the moment, but won’t probably need it when it stretches out after some time.
    I am SO happy to discover this cut! Obviously, I was afraid of the cup depth but my PLs are a little bit quadding these days, so it was the best moment to try it out.
    I can’t see a lot of difference in the coverage. I have less cleavage than in the PLs, ... but this cleavage was mainly due to the too small cups – if the cups weren’t that open, I could not probably even wear them. The major difference between the S and the PL cut is the angle of the bottom of the cup – it’s just impressive. My boobs have never been lifted so high and so steeply.
    The cup edge seems a little more closed on the top compared to the PL cut.
    The bra is very soft and comfortable. The straps are wide and unfortunately they’re also trying to escape from my shoulders, but less than in Szmaragd.
    I haven't bought a nude from for ages, because I usually don't find them interesting and prefer to spend my money on something more coloured but I absolutely don't regret this purchase and I hope it'll still fit when I will need it the most, in the summer.

    • I thought this particular S ran a little small? i've been considering buying it up 1 size from my other S that fits. I believe S is more closed in the smaller sizes, but mine are quite open (75 J/JJ)

    • so, if it really does then I was lucky to choose this particular model :D

    • The fit looks good! And the colour and smooth surface will make this a very useful bra I think. What's the fabric like it appears shiny?

    • Pudding the fabric on the cups is shiny but not as much as on the pics. The rest of the bra is rather mat. I love shining bras ;)

    • I read somewhere else the shiny stuff was almost like pantyhose over the surface of the bra - like where some of them have lace

  2. I think it's safe to say, I've found my holy grail of bras! I've found my brand! I've found my style! I've found...the one! The S styled bras fit dead on for me! So full of win!

    This bra is a fabulous nude bra and I plan to purchase another just like it. It lifts and keeps my bust front and center while giving fantastic cleavage. The fabric overlay on the cup is delicate (much like pantyhose) and can easily snag on rough fabric, so beware. The straps are smooth and fully adjustable. The cup encases my breasts without any irritation near the armpit area where the strap meets ... the cup. The wires are nice and narrow. I found this band smaller than my other 65 band sized bras from EM. This is not an issue for me since most my EM's in 65 start off on the tightest hooks (I hate special ordering). There are three columns and two rows of bra hooks on the backband. The band is not too stretchy or too firm, and feels oh so heavenly. There's a cute satin bow with a pearl accent on the center gore. All pictures were taken without the cookies.

      Looks fab! I ordered 2 of them myself and cannot wait until they get here. So glad you had great success! :)

      (Evadne, check out that color! Woo hoo!)

    • Ok, so I just have to ask . . . you dont fall out the center of it at all? I wouldnt be able to stay in that at all. I guess you probably have firmer boobs than I do?

    • 1

      I don't want to be a party pooper, and I would never tell someone not to wear any bra they loved if it makes them happy, but I think technically you need the next cup size. This is definitely intended as a low cut style but not THAT low cut. With very firm boobs (young/dense tissue, or augmented folks) you often don't quad or spill in the obvious way the way softer-tissued ladies do, but you still need support, and a too-small cup that does not contain as much of the breast as the designer intended will not provide that support.

    • 2

      dbmamaz The gore on the S bra in her size is quite lower than in our size range. You can't really compare how hers fits to one in your size.

    • 1

      Can you pretty please post the bra's measurements? Thanks!

    • Yes, you can get excellent containment even with a superlow gore--however the cups do have to cup enough of the boob volume to keep the girls stable.

      A true half (demi) cup achieves this by coming up a liiiittle bit higher in the middle, but being extremely low cut all along the top. Plunges can be extremely low in the middle but achieve good containment by going up a little higher along the outer quadrant.

    • 1

      wendybien The OP never mentioned her boobs not feeling stable or supported. If she's happy with the fit, that's all that's important. Her review was very happy and optimistic about this bra.

    • 2

      BumbleBean People very, very frequently post happy and optimistic reviews only to be disappointed later on because they took off the tags, but later realized that the fit wasn't good after all. I regularly go through the ordeal of ordering bras from overseas as well and if I posted pics of something that had a potential fit issue I didn't realize, I would most certainly appreciate other users politely pointing that out!

      I don't poke round looking for reviews to respond to, but this was posted to the community as an adventure, so I assumed that OP would consider it useful info to take on board as she sees fit. She is clearly an adult who can make her own choices and decide for herself if in fact she wants to keep a bra or whether she wants to try a larger cup.

      I am not criticizing her or her choices or anything personal, just responding to a bra adventure in a manner that is intended to be helpful. This is, after all, a bra fitting site, not a purely social forum where the only appropriate response to "I got this thing to wear and I'm excited" is "you look lovely, yay!"

    • Do you feel like this one runs any smaller than your other EMs that are the same size? I've ordered this in my usual 70FF and am worried it might run a little small.

    • I just got this in my normal EM size of a 65f and it's too small for me...very minimal coverage. Can you please add measurements since this would be my preferred size in the bra? Thanks :)

    • My EM BM perla I thought was a great fit when I got it, but I do fall out of it. And the gore is only a half inch shorter than my floris? Is that right?

      But its comfortable, so I still wear it sometimes. But i've learned I cant actually wear it under low-cut tops, because then when I'm falling out the bra, I'm also falling out of the shirt . . and i'm way too old for that! But i'm very, very soft.

    • I think it is reasonable to keep your EM perla, dbmamaz .It's definitely possible to wear something that fits less securely than the designer intended--most people can make it work, wearing it for short periods of time or on occasions they won't be doing anything more active than sitting around. But obviously that does make the bra less versatile and you're limited in how much wear you can get out of it. I had a couple lower balconnets that fit like that (sort of fit, but lacked stability and coverage) when I first got them and I was definitely bummed that I could not wear them all day with a low cut shirt or for an evening event where I'd have to move around normally, carry my 2 year old and so on. If I had a semi-active day my boobs just climbed out and then I had quadding bad enough that you could see it through my clothes. Now that my boobs have shrunk those bras actually are my best fit but it's certainly true that if I'd stayed the same size, I just wouldn't have gotten as much use out of them.

    • 1

      dbmamaz I actually don't fall out of the middle at all. I feel contained without having any overflow.

      wendybien I think the lighting sometimes makes them look way rounder than in person. In this bra I actually have a ever so slight space along the edge of the cup. I have an EM Toffic plunge bra that is in a 65G and is too big in the cup for me. I think if I size up I'll have an even larger gap and the armpit area would be uncomfortable. And I totally agree with you on needing support. Us augmented ladies need the support as well since nothing's worse than a bottomed out implant.

      CurvyCandy in comparison to my other EMs, mainly my SM Wróżka, the cup covers the same, but the band fits smaller. I find with EM bras it's a crap-shoot as to how tight of a band you get.

      *currently working on getting the measurements up along with a few other pics. For reference my nipple sits just under where the three part cup converges in the center.

    • I was wondering if you are wearing the assymetry pads that came with the bra in the pictures? I find that with the pads in I am getting quite a bit of quad boob. I am contemplating getting the 65ff.

    • disneymom I actually didn't have any in when I took these pictures.

    • 1

      Thanks for replying! It helps so much and gives me hope that a 65ff would be a better choice for me :)

    • Happy2BraShop, can you comment at all about the seams on this bra? Are they visible under t-shirts? I have several of the Ewa Michalak S Porcelanka (369) bras, which I love, but the seams show up too much for my liking under solid light colored t-shirts. I'm curious if the S Orzechowa Pralinka is any better...

    • pinkwonder They do show up ever so slightly. The thinner the shirt, the more it shows. I usually wear a thin flesh colored cotton tank (cheap ones from forever21 or similar clothing store) under to better disguise the seams. But this one isn't quite as bad as some of the other pieced cup bras I've had.

    65G

    Fits

    While I’m in a period of wakefulness (and not coughing my guts up), I figured I’d review the two 65Gs that were sent to my friend in LA for me to pick up while I was there on holiday this past weekend.

    The two bras were sent to me from someone in one of my Facebook groups. She’s pregnant and won’t be able to wear them again for a while, so she sent this and the S Mojito to me as part of a really kind offer. I was unsure if 65G would be too big or not, as I only knew that my former 70E S Szykus ... was too small. I just wasn’t sure how much too small it was. Given the great opportunity to try this size and cut, I decided to go for it. I figured that they might be too big without the cookies, but fit with, and if they don’t fit at all, I’d pass on or trade with the same good vibes/karma with which I received them.

    I have tallish roots that are shallow and narrowish. My fullness leans towards center full and even, with a little bit of fob. My tissue is soft and malleable, as well as pendulous which adds to the functionally fob and short roots (tallish but shallow). I gained fullness on top and on bottom with the growth that I experienced in the fall last year, but my soft tissue still doesn’t play well sometimes. It’s a bit like putting pudding into bras sometimes. I need depth at the wire and only average depth at the apex.

    This bra is a lovely darker nude with a light shimmer. I think I have seen it referred to as “biscuit” and I can understand that. It’s a bit darker than my skin colour. It reminds me of “Nude” or “suntan” pantyhose. The fabric is smooth, and the center gore has a bow with a little pearl dangle. The bow and the straps are a little bit lighter than the rest of the bra. This has the classic 3 part foam cups with the cotton lining cookie pockets which open up facing the wearer instead of facing the cup of the bra as they do in the CHP. The band is classic power knit and stretches nicely. I’m ok with the loosest hooks...it’s comfortable.

    The fit of the bra is pretty much as expected...too big without the cookies, but pretty perfect with. It’s possible that post ovulation/pre-period boobs *might* fill the gap without the cookies, but I don’t know. Since I am sick, I expect that will be a bit delayed, but I’ll try it again then and see if I can fill out the cups with the swelling. The straps are on the wide side (the Ewa norm), but not as wide as I was expecting...not that much wider than my 65FF/70F BM/PL. The wires are still surprisingly narrow. I clock them out at 5” or just a smidge wider. I think it’s a tiny bit narrower than the Mojito. I have marked it as fits...in the initial fit bit, I marked it as doesn’t fit, because without the cookies, it doesn’t. But I marked the cup aspect in the assessment as not a problem, because with the cookies, it does fit. My pictures are marked as to which is which, but once you get to the angle pics, it is pretty obvious which is which.

    It’s a good basic bra, however I don’t find the colour especially suits my complexion. It’s ok, and would probably do the job in a pinch, but I know that I can find other fleshy toned bras that are closer to my complexion than this. This bra has some nice aesthetics, and with the cookies in, fits me pretty well, but it’s not quite right for me, so I’ve made arrangements to exchange it for a 65FF PL that I know will be better for me. I’ll keep my eyes out for better nude/fleshy tone bra like this. The Bravissimo Satine with houndstooth has potential...

      Holy cleavage with the cookies in! Glad you got to try it!

    • Thanks! Yeah, I get cleavage with and without in the S, but it is definitely a bit more cleavagey with.

      It’s funny...naked boobs, I have a splayed appearance and can be confused with being wide set, but as soon as I get a bra on, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I am guessing that it’s in part due to them being soft and center full.

    • 1

      Also, thanks for the comment here Wilderness1 ... this bra doesn’t seem to be getting as much love as the Mojito.

    • Calluna, I think it's all centre fullness. If you bend forward at 90 degrees in front of a mirror, you can see which way your nipples face. If they are facing outward, it's centre fullness. You can do the same thing to tell if you're full on top/bottom, but you look at the side of your hanging boobs. Maybe you already knew that, but I always found it useful.

    • Sorry, I should have been clearer. I know that I am center full. I was just thinking about why I appear splayed unsupported but close set once supported. Theorizing that it’s because I am center full with soft tissue. I should probably not be typing while medicated.

    • 1

      Calluna it's just the way splayed works. I am firm and splayed, I can put three fingers between my boobs naked, and only a pinky in a bra.

    • It looks lovely Calluna. We tend to be drawn to those rarer colors though, so I think we got distracted by the beauty of Mojito. 💚

    65GG

    Didn't fit

    This is the 3rd size I've tried in this bra due to weight gain/body changes. Compared to my other Pralinkas this thing is a beast! The straps feel very wide and the cups give me a very strange torpedo like unnatural look. I also get quite a bit of gapping in the top of the cups. I love that the band has 4 columns with 3 rows of hooks. The nude color is perfect for me and it fits the bill for a nude basic every day bra. The center gore sits well agains my skin and doesn't bother my close set breast despite it being higher than my 65G's. Sad this didn't provide a nice round shape as my other Pralinkas do. I guess I'm more of a 65G 1/2 in Ewa bras.

    *All pictures taken with the cookies in the cups.

      I also noticed a "torpedo" like shape in S styles in 65gg/60h. I figured that's just how the S is supposed to look, and that others like it more than I do. But perhaps the shape varies with size?

    • 2

      I get torpedo in my S bras as well. It takes some getting used to but I sure do like the girls out of my way. Maybe try without the cookies? It looks like you would fill the cup without them. The bra does look great on you! You fit it well.

    • 2

      I love the color! While EM's beige bras are fine on my natural skin tone, I discovered that they are too light for my summer skin tone. The S isn't my favorite for every day wear because of how crazy huge it makes my boobs look (not my favorite look for work), but I may have to invest in this one! I wish EM made more bras in this color.

    • 2

      klilly3 Having had this bra in a 65FF and currently a 65G, I'm going to say it varies with size. I don't get the same effect as I do in this 65GG. It's hard to explain, but its as if the inner lower portion of the cup isn't projected enough and along in gore it gives an "east-west" separation where as the outer cup then brings the breast back in giving some cleavage. I get a nice rounded shape with my 65G and had high hopes for this, but it just doesn't work for me. Makes me feel like I've stuffed my bra with socks to get the shape lol.

      roxannelovesbras Thank you. I tried this without the cookies and the cup is just too large to fill.

      LadyInBlue I also love this color and wish they had more available in it. Especially if they had a SM in this color. I find most "nude" bras to be way too light and this works great even when I have a bit of a tan.

    • 1

      I agree with you that the inner lower quadrant of the cups is unusually flat and shallow. It creates a super high, half globe "mound" of boob above the edge of the cup but does look odd and angular from the apex down. Maybe you can wear it with tops that are low cut but very loose and flowing?

    • wendybien I totally agree with your description of how this bra is shaped. The pictures really don't do the oddness justice lol. I think this is just a miss for me. I've had some really good luck with Comexim as their cups fully contain my breast and provide a nice round shape. In the past I've always had awesome luck with Ewa bras. I think I've just outgrown the Ewa round-zone and just not ready to venture into torpedo-town.

    • 1

      It's such a headache adjusting to the changes when boobs get bigger or smaller. I hope you can find a new bra comfort zone!

    • I think you look terrific in this bra, sorry it didn't meet your needs. I am thinking about making my first EM purchase and hope I look half as good. : )

    I've been searching for a nude t shirt bra for some time now and I thought this would be perfect, unfortunately it doesn't fit as well as my normal EM 65f. The cup seems to be shorter then normal so it's cutting into my breast causing the dreaded quad boob :/ I tried taking the pads out to see if it would help but the top of the cup is just hitting me in the wrong spot..I need just 1/4" more coverage at the top. Other then that it's the typical EM S style with amazing uplift and cleavage. The band in this one runs firm which I love for my 26.75" rib cage and the wires are perfect. The fabric is a slick slightly shiny dark nude color that seems very sturdy and the cute pearl accent on the gore gives it some interest for a pretty plain bra. I am debating a 65ff to fix my fit issues.

    • If you decide to list this, I have a 65FF Ewa Michalak Rhapsodia that I would love to swap with you if you're interested! You can see the details on my listings if so :)

    • Thank you for offering but I have that one already :) I think I have most of the current EMs...they're hard to resist.

    • No problem... I totally understand ;)

    75F

    Didn't fit

    Another round of EM bras to try! These are all what I could find in my sizes for sale in the US, do somewhat limited. All of the 75Fs on these have three hooks instead of the 2 on the SF Iris, which I prefer but I think it kinda wierd?? All are without extenders, like the Iris I feel like I'm between a 75 and an 80 band.

    Aesthetically this bra is not terribly appealing but its a good functional nude color and the pearl and bow are cute. Probably about as flat as you can expect a cut and see bra to be.

    Like the PL, I almost ... feel like theres something almost east-west happening on some of these pics?? I like the lower cup height, and lower gore, and less fabric at the strap attachment. The band feels ok and after breaking in I think would be fine. I tried an 80 and it was definiltey too big. It gives good lift, but I'm already sort of migrating toward the center, and In worried as I settle into it I'm going to spill out the center and then be gapping near the straps. I tried it with both cookies. I definitely need the cookie on the smaller side, could go either way on the larger. You can see in the side view a black mark (2 actually, but the one closer to the underwire marks the edge of my roots), and this bra is a little wider than that. I dont think I could get in a smaller cup size though, I think the center edges would dig in badly.

    Overall I'm mostly confused by this bra, I can't really tell if it fits!

    The S may not be better than the PL?

    This bra fits me beautifully and gives me a great shape. As with other S cuts of EM bras, the gore is slightly too short, which allows my soft, center-full tissue to pool in the middle just a bit. The color of this bra is really good as a "nude" bra that does not show through clothes (as opposed to Bezus which is too "bright"). Also, this bra is free of lace and embroidery so it is smooth under clothes rather than "bumpy" like some bras are. I am so happy I bought this bra!

    Excellent quality bra, looks great under a t-shirt. Unfortunately the cups are a bit too big for me, there is a decent amount of gapping after a few hours of wear (no gapping after first putting it on). The padding is also a bit thick, and includes extra removable padding which makes my boobs look unnaturally large lol.

    70K

    Didn't fit

    My first try with Ewa and I loved the basic shape and style, but now know this style (particularly in this size!) is definitely not for me. Additionally, there were quality issues that will make me cautious about ordering in the future.

    There were some notable flaws with this bra that would have prevented me from keeping it even if it were a perfect fit. The wires were bent in different shapes. The left side wire-to-wire cup width was 7.5" while the right side was 6.5. The gore didn't lay flat and the wires jutted into my breast in a "defective" way, so ... I can't say if the wires would have been comfortable had they not been shaped so oddly.
    I got this bra on ebay from a woman who had gotten it directly from Ewa Michalak but almost a year ago. She was gracious in accepting the return (I wouldn't have wanted to try to sell or exchange it here and pass on the problems, the wires could not be bent back easily and the gore issue wouldn't have been resolved even if they could have been). The seller's listing described the cups in the this bra as "small for the brand and fitting more like a 70J or 70JJ" which is why I ordered it - I'm not a 70K in recommendations but have been recommended S cuts by bratabase in 70J and 70JJ. Looking at how gigantic the fit here was, even WITH the cookies in, I find it hard to believe a 70JJ or even 70J would fit any better! I hope people who have experience with EM can let me know if the measurements I got before I returned it are actually smaller than normal for the brand. I'd also be interested to hear about the band - the bra had 3 hooks and 4 (rather than standard 3) columns and I immediately put this on the last (smallest) hooks, and it still wasn't tight. The stretched band length was 33" easily (not "hard stretching") and if that kind of stretch is consistent in this brand I'd probably go for a 60 rather than a 65. It couldn't have been caused by being streatched with wear, the bra had tags attached and had never been worn. The major problem with the fit was the top of the cups - too wide and too tall - I measured straight up from the top of my breast to the edge of the cup (height measured 8.5" at center of wire) and I had 2 inches of height that was empty space. When I measured along the inner perimeter from where my boob stopped to the edge of the cup, I had 4-5" of extra depth! There was definitely room on the outsides of the cup too, so narrower wires probably would have made the cups fill up better. I think for my next EM attempt I'll try 65HH in a CHP... or maybe 65J?

    I wasn't wild about the bland color and decoration in person, and the design was a bit bulkier than I prefer, but an appropriate size wouldn't have been as overwhelming gigantic and the sturdy support and flattering shape I got a hint of will outweigh the size and quality problems and I'll definitely be trying again. I'm certain now that I need at least a 30/65 band, since every 32 band I've tried has been loose even on the smallest hooks, so that's one bra fitting issue solved at least! (Although I'd like to try comexim but their sizing system in bands and cups seems completely nonsensical! Advice?) The advice I'm giving myself is to buy from places I can easily return to until I get my sizes and cuts figured out better!

    This bra's measurements have been altered
    Came with cups in two different shapes, averaged for measurements since bratabase won't allow a blank. L was 7.5 and R was 6.5, wires overlapped at gore.

    • As a rule, I've found that *most* Ewas run true to size or a smidge tighter. I've never ever had an issue with the wires: I wonder if that's something the seller did for some reason trying to make it fit better. Otherwise it's odd she wouldn't say something about it.

    • That band length is oddly excessive, not typical for a 70/32 in most brands. EM, while a bit inconsistent, usually runs smaller instead of larger than average (which this is). Funny... this is the second bra in as many days that I've commented on that was weirdly large in the band! Maybe it's the wrong phase of the moon for bra bands.

    • Depth looks like 70jj to me. If it was used 33" is pretty reasonable, new the band's are usually 31-32" in my experience. I had an S have different cup widths by .5", so I guess the same person made this bra lol

    70HH

    Didn't fit

    It's a really good basic bra, and I absolutely love the shape this bra gives, but 70HH for my usual 30HH UK size was one size too loose in the band and 1-2 cup sizes too small in the cups. I wear it without pads and I have massive quadboobing if I scoop and swoop and slight quadding if I don't.
