I got this beauty from Broad Lingerie in Toronto, to compare SF style to another style that [I think] works best for me r.n., BM. According to the Big Cup, Little Cup blog (I'll link the article below), SF is "a balconette bra with a thin but strong material in the lower cup and an unpadded soft upper cup. This is a version of the S style... with the same shape and neckline. It is good for softer breast tissue."

I had high hopes for this bra! Unfortunately, after I ordered it, I realized that I needed a smaller band in Ewa Michalak; even though most boutiques ... in Canada suggest sizing up in the band for Ewa Michalak, I find that I don't need to. I must be the opposite of everyone, because I size up in Comexim r.n., and keep my same UK band size in Ewa Michalak - oh well ; )

Anyway, about the bra: this was a very quick try-on, I'm always paranoid that I will somehow stretch out the bra - even if I just try it on for a few minutes - and won't get my money back, so I just tried it on briefly to take a few pictures. I don't know if this makes sense, but I felt that the "frame" of the bra was too big, granted the band size was too big. I'm not sure if I went down to the 65 band, that the straps would come in a little more? but they seemed too wide.

But I also tried on the 70 band of BM, and I didn't seem to have this same issue with the wide straps, so I kind of think that the straps are wider in SF? Correct me if I'm wrong, lol. (or is it just b/c SF uses stiffer fabrics that the straps stay out wider? Idk.) I didn't make the straps tight though, since I knew I was going to return it (is this a half-arsed review? sorry), so maybe it would've been a little better if they were tightened all the way. I don't want to bring up this sore subject #strapgate, lol, but I would have to try this in a band size down to evaluate.

All in all, I would like to try SF again. I don't think I would order it all the way from Poland, in case it didn't work out; the sister-size down from 70FF is sold out at Broad Lingerie, so I couldn't try it. I'm wondering if my size in Ewa Michalak BM (65G) would be my same size in SF? I mean if they are close enough...maybe I could also try 65FF. The following is the article with all of the descriptions of Ewa Michalak styles - I know it's been posted a lot already - but just for the newbies to bratabase/ABTF communities https://www.bigcuplittlecup.net/guide-ewa-michalaks-bra-styles-names/
