My first SF bra. Keep in mind I got it a couple days before my period, and my boobs today in particular feel HUMONGOUS as it goes.

I took a big big chance and ordered my new Ewas in a band smaller than before... however, I've been worrying and sweating over it thinking it will be too tight as SF Blueberry has a lacy band, however, I needn't have worried. The band is actually stretchier than my BM Fluo I got in the same package (and same size).

There are a couple of things I dislike about SF cut (just from first impressions), but I will talk about that later.

SF ... Blueberry in 70FF has 4 parts in the cup (I believe to add more structure, not sure if that is the norm for the cut or if it's the norm for the size). The bottom of the cup is very sturdy... at the seams. The fabric between the seams is not so sturdy honestly, but it's manageable. Important thing is it does not give me any cutting in the cup and that's all I can ask for at this point. The top of the cups is finished off with elastic tulle and lace that molds nicely to the breasts. The colour of this bra is just astounding. It's a rich dark blue and the black compliments it so nicely.
The bottom of the cup feels like it's empty. I had my mum evaluate this for me because I just couldn't do it myself and she says it's not empty, but the lace over the cup is very loose and makes it feel like it's empty when you touch it.
The cups (seams and lace) are visible under thin shirts.

The band at 70 definitely doesn't *feel* like it runs tight (I am a EU 70H but everyone says to size up in EM bras), it feels like it runs *tight enough*. When I move the band stays put and this is how I like my bands. I think once the fiber molds to the body and stretches out it will be perfection (this has been an issue with Ewa bands for me... the band on Bibi Black 80E stretched out so much I have to use a Rixie clip with it -- it's not optimal but it works, and on Bibi Bezova Perla 75F I have to fasten it on the tightest hook already).
My big, big, huuuge gripe with the band is that at this size it is 2 hooks. I'm not sure why, as on the one photo of the back of the bra on the website there are three hooks. The Fluo in the same size has 3 hooks. But on Blueberry it's 2. This is, imho... awful. I can get over it, of course, but I wonder why she would do this? I feel betrayed, lol. My boobs (and I assume any boobs in this size) are pretty heavy, they *need* that 3rd hook to give the extra stability to the band. This worries me a little bit.
But other than that the band really does feel perfect. The lace is definitely not making it any tighter imho.

The gore tacks beautifully, lies flat against my sternum. There's a little faux keyhole design on it and it's beautiful.
The wires are pure perfection. They wrap around my breasts perfectly, follow the root, I can barely even feel them to be honest. I was worried at this size they will be shorter but it is not an issue.

The straps are my personal horror story. I think (hope) they will stretch out as they are so so so short. I'm not kidding. The straps are so short I'm considering returning this bra. I definitely feel them digging into my shoulders, and I'm getting some slight neck pain too.. I think from here on out I will just add the extra 20pln to make the straps longer. For once I would like a bra that I can make the straps tighter on it, rather than making them completely loose and still have them dig into my shoulders.
The straps are also very wide set. I'm not sure if it's because of the size, the cut, or the model. Hopefully the discomfort will just go away with wear as it did with my other Ewa bras.

Now, the SF cut. I feel like my asymmetry is a little more obvious in this cut, can't quite put my finger on it but it's something about the shape of the cups I believe.
The shape is a teensy bit pointier than in my BMs which are perfectly natural shape.
Not sure if 2 hook is the size related standard for this cut but it's very very annoying.
The strong seams are not as comfortable as BMs, so I would not recommend this cut to anyone who has sensitive nipples or sensitive skin on their breasts.

final notes: I don't think I need to size up in cup as my smaller side feels like it's almost about to not fill out the cup in the deepest part of it. I do wonder if straps being so wide set is because I went down in band size... tho I don't see any wire distortion and the 70 band is definitely a good fit. It's the length of the straps that is making this bra a 3/5 in comfort for me, it has to be.
Or, maybe I'm just in that overly sensitive period of the month and everything bothers me. So I will follow this review up with an update in like a week or so to see how it feels then.

side note: this bra gives me some serious cleavage. I'm not usually looking for cleavage and I gave up on it a long while ago because the only bras I get cleavage in are the ones that are really small, but I'll take it when it's free like this!

side note 2: I don't know if I will be ordering any more of SF bras, not unless there is something that is really really pretty and I can't live without. BMs fit me very very well and they are comfortable. I would argue with the fact that the description for SF says: Perfect for soft and less firm breasts. My breasts are very soft, and more than less firm, they are extremely malleable, and the structure of SF cups makes them just sorta flop in the cups like pudding and get shaped by them rather than working with the cups to get the right shape. This is an issue I also encountered with Panache Jasmine and Envy. Luckily, the shape SF Blueberry gives me is passable, I'd say even more good than bad, while the Panaches gave me extreme pointy boob. Anyway, not to ramble on and on. Maybe SF bras are made for soft boobs, but not very soft. The plus side is that the top of the cups doesn't seem to be quad boob prone (unless you're in the wrong size, I guess) even if you have very very soft tissue like me. I will at some point try the S cut... once I get over my fear of ordering the wrong size in it. But for now, I will stick to BMs.

Update after wearing it a while:
No matter how much I try, I cannot make this bra work for me. The narrower cups coupled with not enough immediate projection make for a very bad fit that I have to keep adjusting during the day. I think I should have sized up in cup for this one.

Sooo, as I was wandering around the store (Forever Yours in Langley, BC) pulling Ewas and a few other bras, the fitter helping me brought this one out to me to see if I was interested in trying it because they were just unpacking them. It’s actually still not even on their website yet!

I said yes, because I had wanted to try an SF while I was there. Not to mention, I love navy bras. And it echoed the Kleks with the little dangling sparkles. I was also curious to see how the stretch tulle upper was compared with the stretch lace. Frankly, it’s a really ... stunning bra! When I put it on, the fitter’s eyes just lit up!

I have to say, as this was the first SF I tried (the fruit bra was after this), I was very impressed! I got a great shape from the stiffened lower cup. The stretch tulle was smooth across the top of the cups. I thought the straps felt a bit wide, but I put my Wersal on over top of it and it didn’t seem to be any wider. This bra is an all lace band, and I can confirm that it was a snug fit. I feel like I had enough immediate depth, and I generally feel like I had a great fit. This was the second bra that I put on the love hook. In fact, I decided against this one in favour of the Bibi Black. I had a super difficult time deciding. Do I still want it? You betcha!

Interesting tidbit. So I was looking up the name on the label and it said Zmierzch (which is why I began to take pictures of the store’s tag). In a chat on IG, the unusualness of the name came up. I know that often the Polish names translate into something that makes sense or is relevant to the bra’s aesthetics. So I looked it up. The first hits I got were a summary for Twilight. So I thought, “no wonder it sparkles!”

Only here it’s listed as Blueberry which I happened to find as I narrowed my search down to SF styles. So that’s kind of confusing.

My shape: semi-conical, firm, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots, size and shape asymmetry on right side.

SF Blueberry looks very similar to BM Kleks on first glance. It has the same dark blue lace and clear gems hanging from the gore and straps. This bra is a lot stiffer than Kleks, and a lot stiffer than any other SF that I’ve tried in the past. It is so stiff that the strap rings make creaking noises when I move. I am thinking that because of the super stiff fabric, this bra is a bit less stretchy and thus smaller than other SFs. I have only Nibynic to compare ... it to, but Blueberry is only 13” deep whereas Nibnyic is 13.5”. The band on this one stretches to 28.75”, and I am glad to see that Ewa made the band around the correct size instead of over 29” for once.

This bra sort of fits. I’m currently at low tide and this bra is sliding pretty badly on my larger side. I get a lot of wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, and I feel like the bra is pushing me east-west. I certainly don’t feel as up front as I did in the Koralik. I do feel like this bra you would have to own in two different sizes, in order to have it fit during size changes over the month.

1/7/19: The cups are too tight and doesn't seem to be stretching. It's not worth the discomfort to keep wearing it.

SF Blueberry 60L
Blueberry is a standard SF style bra, with 3 stiffened lower sections on the cup, one upper stretch lace section, and a wedge area that connects the strap to the cup. It is a dark blue lace with a black liner. I have tried this one prior in the 60KK, which was reviewed separately.

All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 22.5” and stretches to a max of 29”. It has 3 hooks and ... 4 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.45”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 15”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The cup height is 9”, with the wing of 4.875” and gore of 4.25”. The width is 6.25”.

For comparison, the 60KK had 22.5” to 28.75” max band, with 12.25" to 14.25” max cup depth, 9.25” cup height, 4” gore, 4.75” wing, and 6.25” width.

As for fit,
The upper lace does not feel as closed in or tight as with the 60KK version, which is a plus. My nipples are still in the stretch lace area of the cup, though. I thought this issue might be resolved by going to this cup size, but apparently not. The gore sits 2 fingers off my sternum. The cups look good on, but feel very full and a bit constricting, and after a few hours of wear was on the far side of uncomfortable bordering on painfully constricting. The wires feel fine on the outside, but the center seems to be where the issue is currently, and the center wires may be resting on my breast tissue at the base of the wires. Reverse Swoop and Scoop does not resolve this issue. The top lace does not feel over tensed like the 60KK was, there is no flattening occurring nor any quadding, and I can stick my fingers under the lace and tulle easily, so this upper lace is not the issue with this one. I honestly do not know if I will survive an all day wear with this one though….. :-/

Another thing to note is the recent bra trend for Ewa (for my orders at least), which was not as prevalent on prior orders, is the V frame band, which greatly angles down as seen in the bra only photos. As I’m more of a I I shape than a \ / shape, this creates an odd shape at the top of the band in the back. I don’t feel this while on, but it also doesn’t feel as secure for me, since I am already wearing the band on the tightest hook set. This band is the largest/stretchiest of this order at 29”, but I have had plenty of 29” ones from Ewa that felt more secure with a straighter band.

SF Blueberry 60KK

SF Blueberry is an unpadded bra stiffened for support. The color is a navy blue lace over black, and the cups come in the 4 sections-3 lower sections with two vertical seams, and the upper stretch lace horizontal area, plus an outer wedge that connects the straps to the cups securely. The wires are a lazy J instead of a straight U, which is common on the SF style, at least in this size. Due to this wire shape the width is 6.25” though that’s more due to the wire shape than a wider wire. The gore also has a sheer faux peek-a-boo gore which is ... quite nice. There are 3 single diamond dangles-at the gore and each strap.

All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 22.5” and stretches to a max of 28.75”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops. The band is full lace, so it has more tension which is nice.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.25”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 14.25”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

As for fit, the band feels great on the tightest hook-set but the cups are sadly too small. While most SFs are perfectly full yet still wearable in a 60KK, I have had a few that are just a bit too small, and with the max depth of 14.25” for this one I knew it wasn’t going to work. I will try this one in a 60L if Ewa is generous enough to allow.

I received this from MamaPagan. This fits almost exactly the same as my 60K - Ewa Michalak » Sf Nibynic (1133), that I now think that the 60K - Ewa Michalak » Sf Blueberry (1420) is actually a cup small. It's very stiff but the cups feel so comfortable and not crushing.

The band does seem slightly looser than the other 30 bands I received in my order. Other than that, the fit is great. I only have one other Sf bra to compare it to (Princessa), but I like the way the black upper panel on the cup is form fitting and lays flat. With Princessa, the shiny pink panel wrinkles a tiny bit. It’s a beautiful classy bra that is very winter appropriate. I love the pretty detailing on the straps and the sheer section on the gore.
