This bra is a gorgeous shade of green with mint straps, with beige underneath, and beige cookie pockets. I love mint, a sadly underutilized clothing color. I’m still experimenting with EM cuts and I think I found one that actually works with my shape. The pictures were taken with the cookie only on the right side, as placing the cookie on my larger breast makes the cup painfully too small.
The band on this one is tighter than the CHP Noir but not unbearably so. Also, despite it being taller than the CHP, the angle makes it work for me. There’s a small gap along the top edge of ...the cup that closed up after I washed the bra. There’s an odd point on the cups due to the stitching, but this cannot be seen through clothing. Under clothing it gives me a nice rounded shape.
The gore on this bra is the best part. I always have wire marks on my breasts from the gore. I had resigned myself to this being a constant issue. No wire marks with this one. I’m very pleased with this bra. Read more 78 more words
I also felt the PL cut was good. I think it's more projected at the apex and shorter in the cups than the S cut, which was terrible- too smooshed and no room at the bottom. I love this bra and wish I had gotten one before they sold out.
I saw this one on Zathiya & wanted it as well. Same thing-sold out in my size..... :( I do love the color as well. I don't understand why more manufacturers don't do green bras. Glad it works for you!
I have this bra in the BM cut. It's one of my favorites! The color is beautiful!
cupandahalf I see what you mean with the S cut. It also doesn't seem to be tacking either. Did you have this problem also?
Omg yes. It immediately slid down and out.
After wearing it for 14 hours, one cup is too full and pulls the gore. I got a nice blister from this. I need a check box for “only fits for X number of hours”.
Ouch! Sorry to hear that-it's such a beautiful bra! I always find the ill-fitting bras more difficult to accept when I love the way they look otherwise. A plain beige or black mainstream bra, it's no big loss, but a lacy green bra- that's just not right!?! Especially when it comes with a larger price tag. Is the blister at the gore or in the armpit area due to the pulling @ the gore? Might a bra liner help this so it would still be wearable?
I love the cocoa colour of this bra. It fits exactly the same as my 60J - Ewa Michalak » Bm Szmaragd (794). I'm glad both of them are so consistent with each other!
My shape: semi-conical, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots. My breasts don't conform to bra shapes very well and are quite short.
I love this bra, it reminds me so much of the Panache Andorra, except without the super wide and painful gore. It has the same hard wires that I remember from Panache as well. The stretch lace is very soft and doesn't fight with my natural pointy shape. Under clothing the shape I get is more natural looking than a ball. The cups on this bra are very tall, but because of the stretch lace they lay flat against my shallow upper section. This bra seems like it would be able to accommodate a variety of shapes. I find it pretty amazing that a bra with such hard wires can actually be so comfortable.
I decided to take a gamble on Ewa Michalak bras again. The others I tried are too tall for me, and this one is no exception. However, it's only slightly too tall, so I decided to keep it. Part of this might also be a shape issue, as the top of my breasts are slightly conical and shallow. I cannot form any sort of cleavage. However, after washing it, it got a bit softer and the quarter inch on the top folds down across the top of my breast.
After reading about the CHP cuts I ordered down one cup size. I feel a bit squeezed into the bottom ...of the cup with the cookies in, but without them in I doubt my breasts would be tall enough for this bra. It doesn't hurt so I left the cookies in. I haven't had much experience with a padded bra in my size. The CK Daily Dream collapses on me at the wire and is unwearable. This one seems to stay in my IMF and the cup isn't collapsing at the bottom.
The gore in this bra is pretty low and doesn't press on my tissue. There's a small jewel charm hanging off the gore. The wires are narrow and hard, though not as hard as Panache wires. It doesn't press on any tissue on the sides and feels good to me. The straps are set pretty wide, but don't really bother me that much. The band feels true to size, comfortable on the loosest hook.
Despite the gap at the top, I still think this is a perfectly wearable bra. The gap isn't noticeable under a shirt, and I feel open to trying other CHP cuts in the future. Read more 178 more words
Awesome! I was told that Ewa wouldn't do a 60/65 CHP above a HH cup, period.......hum......wonder if she changed her mind??? I may have to try & sweet talk her into doing one for me (yeah, I know-dream on)..... I love the open top on the CHP & found it to be helpful in avoiding the minor quad boob issue I get in the S cut.
MamaPagan I got this from Zathiya, so who knows how old it is. I want another CHP so I hope she did change her mind!
It was Aisha @ Zathiya who told me that after she went back & forth with Ewa regarding the CHP. I'd asked about 3 different ones, and after the 3rd, she said Ewa was not comfortable doing the CHP in a 60/65 band above an HH cup because she didn't feel it would be supportive enough. She (Ewa) said above the HH cup needed to go with the S style instead. That was maybe 2 months ago or so. My solution was to buy the CHP in a 70J and shorten the band by a few inches. Since you found one, there has to be exceptions to the rule!!!
Very pretty bra. i love the detailing. Hope it has helped you with your sizing and i agree that it is a nice color on you.
Thanks, all. The color is gorgeous and deep teal is my favorite color. I told Aisha I would like to get a nude colored EM bra instead if at all possible since I have several dark colored bras and I really really need a nude one.
This is a major disappointment for me after wearing so many other EM bras. The wires are extremely wide, they are almost at my back. It feels like wearing a UK bra again. My guess is they aren't stabilized in the band, and they are getting pulled backwards when I put the bra on. Because the wires don't push me forward, the bra is too tall even with how short it is, and I get gaping at the top. It can't cope with my shallow roots at all. While it can't be seen under a shirt, it doesn't feel supportive and the wires are poking me in the ribs. The band is also very stretchy, measuring at 29", comfortable on the second tightest hooks to start.
Ouch. These short boobs are difficult to fit! Like you, this was too tall for me. And, my aching ribs were very displeased.
None of the other reviews mentioned how wide the wires are as far as I remember. It's the same height as my CHP but the CHP I can fill to the top. Seems to be all a wire problem. Flat the wires are 6.1" wide.
My shape: semi-conical, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots. My breasts don't conform to bra shapes very well and are quite short.
I love, love, love this bra. I don’t know any other way to say it. The colour is a perfect shade of inky dark blue, with little clear gems on the gore and straps. It seems to be sewn a little differently than my other two BMs, giving me more of rounded shape under clothing. If I only could keep one bra, this one would be it. This style is excellent for short shapes!
I wanted a white bra to wear under light shirts, and I am pleased that it remains consistent with my 60J - Ewa Michalak » Pl Mojito and 60J - Ewa Michalak » Pl Kankan, except with removable straps. The band is a bit more snug than the previous two.

This CHP says on the website that it is a bit larger in the band and cup. The band on this is very stretchy and stretches to almost 31". The straps are also fairly stretchy, and the sliders on the straps move very easily, I am concerned that they will loosen themselves up over the day. The cups are also deeper than the other CHPs that I own. They measure at 11.75" instead of the standard 11.5" of my other 60J CHPs. I actually like the cup ...depth on this better, as I feel less compressed in them. The wings on this bra are very high, measuring 5".
A CHP on me is a full coverage bra. On this one, the top of the cups curve back toward my body, creating a smooth line at the top of the cup. The band under the gore rises up toward the gore instead of going straight across like the Noir. It does not cut into my stomach when slouching like the Noir.
I would like to try this in a 55JJ but I'm not sure if she would say no. Without more data on this bra, it'd be hard to say if others should size down in the band. Read more 118 more words
This looks great on you! I love the cup detail, which I'd missed on the stock photos. The flower detail is a lot better looking & prettier than the stock photos show.
Revisiting this CHP after some growth. The upper portion of my breast is more flush with the top, it fits better than it did before. The band is far too stretchy and is comfortable on the 2nd tightest hook.
My shape: semi-conical, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots. My breasts don't conform to bra shapes very well and are quite short.
The band on this CHP is far stretchier and longer than any other EM bra that I've tried thus far. My snug underbust hovers around 26.5 to 26.75 inches, and this bra I could easily clasp on the 3rd column of hooks to start. A CHP on me is full coverage, and that's ok. The cups on this CHP are more flexible than the CHP Noir, and curve back toward my body easier. This makes the cups far less noticeable under a shirt. The insides of the ...cups are also lined and fairly soft.
The wings on this bra are also quite high, around 5 inches. While not uncomfortable under the armpit, this is higher than any other EM bra I've tried and higher than I'd like. This places the bows right in the crook of my armpit. The wires are a 1/8" wider than my other 60J EM bras. They don't go all the way to the outside edge of the channel.

Revisiting this bra after some growth. It’s no longer too tall on me without cookies. I was worried about the depth being insufficient but it seems like it works. I love this cut as it one of the only ones that make my boobs round and I’m glad to have it fit finally.
So happy for you! :-)
Yay, for a good fit! It looks really pretty and the colors are great.
This is pretty much the same as the other BMs I have in this size, except that the elastic on the bottom edge is a little bit sharp and irritates my skin.
I love the color and materials on this bra. The inside liner is cotton and a lot softer on me than the CHP Noir, which just has the foam. I am still trying to experiment with which EM bras will work for my shape, semi-conical with a shallow upper portion. As expected, it’s too tall for my shape. There’s a good inch or so where my breast doesn’t meet the top. The bottom of the bra is completely filled out and if I place the cookie in, the bra becomes painfully too small on my larger side. However, the top gap does fold down and under a shirt you can’t tell that there is a gap. It's still worth keeping despite the tall cups.
Edit: after washing the bra, the top gap is less immediately noticeable. The gore is also not tacking, if I press on it then the top gap closes up.
This bra works excellently for me and I'm incredibly thankful for it. While the wires are slightly too wide by about a half inch to an inch on the sides, it's the most comfortable bra I own and gives a delightful shape. I can wear it all day without wanting to take it off, which speaks volumes.
My only two "complaints' if you want to call them that are that the straps are a bit too far to the sides and could be moved in slightly, but this does work rather well with a few of my shirts. The other complaint is that the ...band is a bit wide under the armpits, but not uncomfortably so, about a half inch to a quarter inch less material there would be fantastic.
The lace adornment is beautiful but it does show under some of my shirts, which is to be expected. I either wear a cami or just decide I don't care if people know I'm wearing a bra. This is definitely my favorite bra... I am not sure if it will be too warm for summer, I suppose we will see.
Overall, the bra, like all Ewa Michalak bras, is well constructed and sturdy while still being sexy. It gives that beautiful "cakes on a plate" look that has grown on me immensely. While I still want a bra that gives me kissing cleavage for some occasions, I enjoy the separation for everyday comfort.
*I'm marking the bra as a fit, because I could deal with the slightly too wide cups if I could find a couple more like it. I have more Ewa Michalak bras on the way, we'll see how that goes.* Read more 187 more words
This model seems to fit differently than the other BMs I have in the same size. The straps are slimmer (.625"), the gore higher (3.75"), and the gore is overlapping. The overlapping gore seems to creak whenever I put it on. The sliders don't work like most regular sliders, they are clips that you pull up on and move into position. This bra also feels smaller in the cup to me even though it is the same depth at the apex as my other 60J BMs. It feels tight all over, and the band feels tight despite it being the same size as every other bra I have. It's very pretty, but an odd fit.
This bra has a design flaw where the ribbon is sewn onto the entire length of strap while the strap is unstretched. This causes the straps to not stretch at all, and they are difficult to adjust because of the thickness of the strap and ribbon. The lack of stretch causes the apex of the bra to cut into me worse than my other PLs in this size, to the point where it is unwearable for more than a couple hours. It's such a shame, this bra is one of the prettiest ones that I own.
The bra's beautiful red color does not reflect well in the photos. Fits almost exactly like my 60J - Ewa Michalak » Pl Mojito. Very comfortable and supportive.
This bra is so cute, I love wearing it... except that the wires come up a bit too high in the armpit (come back too far). Though the wires are narrow, the cups are perhaps a bit too projected and the band a bit too short... they come back into my armpit.
I also felt the PL cut was good. I think it's more projected at the apex and shorter in the cups than the S cut, which was terrible- too smooshed and no room at the bottom. I love this bra and wish I had gotten one before they sold out.
