Well, I think I'm sold on Ewa Michalak and understand what all the fuss is about. The S Wiśniówka is my first EM, and I'm not disappointed, even though there are some minor fitting issues. Mostly because I believe these issues would be resolved by going down a cup size.
It's a very comfortable bra. It goes up into the armpits but not too high, and the gore doesn't come up too high or dig in. The cups appear to be a good width. The padded material on the inside of the cups is soft and not scratchy or stiff. The lace at the seams ... is soft and doesn't seem to be too obvious underneath clothing. The material of the cups is a nice change from, say, satin -- it has a more subtle effect. I also like that the band has three hooks. The straps are okay. I feel like if they were set any wider, it would be too much for my shoulders. Now, I ordered a 65GG (30GG) expecting that the band would be quite firm, but I found that not to be the case. I had to use the tightest hooks right away.
As for the shape, well. Are you ready for some uplift? Because you'll get it with this bra. Yowsers.
I experience some gapping at the top of the cups when I first wore it, especially when I wasn't sitting up straight. Strangely enough, it seemed like my slightly larger breast had more gapping issues. I scooped and swooped rather aggressively, and filled out the cups, but it seemed like as my boobs settled, then the gapping issues came up again. However, it wasn't obvious under a shirt. The second time I wore it, I seemed to fill it out more? I will definitely update this review after I sport my PMS boobs in this bra, because it may turn out to be the perfect PMS bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
[UPDATE]: It's been a few days and I've worn it a couple of more times. I have to say it's fitting better than when I first got it. Maybe the cups are molding more to the shape of my boobs or there is a breaking in period, but the gapping issue has definitely diminished. Plus, dear god is this a comfortable bra. brb ordering all the EMs lol just jk only not really D;

If the Lucy in a 30 felt tight, I'd definitely recommend a 70 in EM bras.
When you say the cups are a fraction large and too large, respectively, is that with the asymmetry pads already in place? (Or is this one of the bras that doesn't come with them?)
Try this one on with an extender to see what it does to the cup -- it's possible it only looks a fraction too small because the tight band is making the cup smaller than it otherwise would be. If that happens and the cups look too large on both breasts, you'll probably want a 70FF. If not, then try a 70G.
