I LOVE THIS BRA! My boobs have NEVER looked so good in my entire life.
(not sure why it says the bra doesnt fit; it does.)
the cups are a fairly flexible foam-lined material, the fabric is very soft.. the band is quite stretchy. wires are pretty narrow, moreso than my first Ewa bra (KM Biskopty.) but similar to my PL Charlie in the same size. it seems like the cup might be a hair bigger than my PL in the same size.
LOVES:
the top edge of the cup is slightly more closed than my PLs, and feels like it give a bit more support. The apex is a little ... higher than PLs, and it seems to provide more lift for my very large breasts. In this size, the gore on the S is actually the same height as the gore on the PL style, just the top outer edge of the cup comes a little higher by the strap -- not a whole lot, just about an inch or so. The overall coverage and height of the cup and gore and all are quite similar between the 2 in this size, the main difference is the shape and lift.
i LOVE the shape! very front-and-center, no east-westing at all, very uplifted, and it even manages to give my soft, pendulous boobs a lovely rounded mound shape above the edge of the cup -- i've never gotten that.. i suppose i do to a lesser extent in my PL, but overall, this bra is the best fit i've ever encountered. it's almost too small in the cups around 'that time of the month,' but it fits very well the rest of the time.. and i get a little more cleavagey-OOMPH with the pads in the bra. aside from period week, i might actually be able to do with one cupsize down, as i know Ewa bras tend to stretch... but i like the extra support of the pads in the bottom, and with them in, this size fits perfectly.
ISSUES:
1)the straps are only half-adjustable, and i generally need my straps tightened as much as possible, or close to it. non-adjustable part of the strap is very stretchy, and though it has been reasonably comfortable through the first couple of wears, they are stretching out, and i will need to shorten the straps at some point.
2)The band is extremely stretchy.. it's made of one thin layer of VERY stretchy, though very soft, fabric. I'm already between a 36-38 band, and i feel i definitely needed the 36 (80) in this style, and perhaps could have even worn a 34 (75.), though the on-site calculator recommended me a band of 40 (90.) HOWEVER, despite being looser than i generally prefer, the band seems to mostly stay put, as it's angled to sit lower on the back, and this does seem to help anchor it. i will most likely need to alter the band though, to make this a 36KK.
3)the gore/wires poke a little at the top, as if the cups tilt into my body at the top edge. i will likely bend the wires a little to better fit my body.
4) slight orange-in-a-glass wrinkling at the bottom of the cup, (which i get with most bras,) but the removeable pads seem to stabilize this wrinkling and add a little more support to the bottom of the cup.

I think this looks great on you! I am so jealous of everyone who keeps finding all these EM bras on here and reddit. My size nevvvvver pops up.
