I really like this bra. It is my second Polish bra and it fits wonderfully. Excellent cleavage. I don't have a firm line of cleavage like most cakes-on-a-plate examples, but that might be due to malleable tissue (gotta really shove them up to make a shelf). Good separation for my wide set boobs.
Fit without pads: Something I noticed with this CHP is some slight quadding at the outer edge of the top left cup. This doesn't happen at all with my right boob. I suspect this is because my left boob is smaller and has slightly more top fullness than the right, with less immediate projection that the ...right (the right is heavier and sags a bit more). This explains a tiny amount of emptiness at the bottom of the left cup. I'll have to more closely examine the fit of my Cleo Maddies to see if this happens. However, these small fit issues cannot be seen while I'm standing up with normal posture (and definitely not with a shirt).
If I add the removable pad to the right boob, the fit is better in terms of cup wrinkling, although it tightens the band enough to quad the left boob on the right side of the cup, at the gore. BUT I DON'T CARE. If I care enough, I'll wear a bra extender. This is also on the loosest hooks, which makes me happy, since I will stretch out my bands over time. I'd much rather have a tighter band I can extend than attempt to alter a loose band.
None of these fit issues affect my perception of it. It sits in the IMF, the gore tacks, the straps are the perfect distance apart. Cup wires fit beautifully in terms of width. and length. I'd prefer a higher wing, but it doesn't bother me. Quite comfortable, actually. Cute design. Much love. Read more 203 more words
I seriously hate strapless bras. I've been searching far and wide for a good fit in a strapless bra, but being a rare produced size with my shape makes it...well nearly impossible. This is a very nice strapless, but it doesn't suit me at all. Like most strapless bras, the tighter I make the band, the worse the cups cut in at the top. But the looser I make it, the more likely it will be to fall down. There is a shape mismatch as well. Every single strapless bra I've tried cuts in, especially near the outer portion of my breasts. ... If I size up, it gets worse and leaves the cup hollow. This particular bra cuts in, and there's a small amount of space in the apex from the cup being too projected there. As a result, I don't get any lift in this. I will try adding some push up padding to the bottom of the cups to see if that improves the lift I get. Overall, I'm pretty sad that this strapless wasn't the holy grail. Ewa strapless bras look absolutely amazing on most people who have tried it, but alas it wasn't for me. I will continue searching for the perfect strapless, but meanwhile regular bras suit me better anyways since I have some hyper pigmentation where wide straps have chaffed my skin.

After a few hours the gore was stabbing me like a Cleo bra. It's too high. Band nice and firm Cups nice and thin. Gives a very rounded profile Top embroidery is visible through tops
This is my replacement for my messed up bra. This one fits as it should and is free of any mistakes. It's adorable, unfortunately I sort of fell out of love with it in the time it took to get a new one.
I *had* to have this bra because of the little boob strap thingies...but I probably should have just invested in a different bra instead. The cups on this bra run a little bit bigger than previous versions of the CH cut, I find. I had worn Onyx and Lilia in 65F, but this was too big so I exchanged it for a 65E. The cups initially fit a little large on me as well. Because there was extra space in the cups, I was able to move the straps in 1 cm and then the size of the cups fit perfectly. Another thing ...I had to alter were the positioning of the boob straps. My breast tissue is quite flat and high, so the placement where it was originally didn't flatter me. It kept slipping down since I don't have a top of boob where it can rest on. I ended up moving these straps upward of about 2cm, and now it looks a lot better. One last alteration I had to do in order to make this bra fit me better was narrow the gore. The gore on this bra is fairly wide for an Ewa bra, though narrower than most other brands. The band on this bra is true to size for a '30', but firm. I have yet to alter the band.
Overall, I would recommend this bra for someone with fairly projected boobs, with the root height that is medium to short.
Very comfy, love the cookie pockets to add extra Umph! Needed a good everyday bra in neutral color and this has a bit of sparkle to it as well! Cups are super soft too. The straps could be closer together but still pretty comfy bra
First foray into Ewa Michalak! Bought used from another user here. The quality is great and the materials are lovely. This is a beautiful bra. The cut works well for FoB breasts like mine and the wires are sufficiently narrow.
When I got this bra and put it on, I was confused to find that one of the cups seemed to fit well and the other seemed too big. I usually don't see a significant asymmetry between my breasts. Then I noticed that the smaller cup had been altered, very subtly, to remove some material. After some agonizing, I decided to make the symmetric alteration and now the fit is pretty good on both sides. However, I would consider the unaltered bra to be one cup size too big. Future EM bras will be 65DD...
I love this bra, it is so pretty. Unfortunately even though it seems to fit (with an extender) something about it is a bit off. The outer cup edge digs into breast tissue a bit, at first I thought it was just my tail of spence, but with the amount of discomfort I feel from it, I think it is definitely breast tissue. Also as with CH/CHP styes I have tried in this size or sister size the cups just seem to hit at the wrong spot and the next cup size up is too large or open on top for me. I think I have found that EM's PL cut is the best for me and as much as I like EM's half cups, I don't think they really work for me.
Not sure how I ended up with this in a 3D, the 65E was in the drop down list of sizes for the S model of this bra, but the size no longer shows up in the menu and Bratabase says this size doesn't exist in an S. When I received the bra I noticed it says 3D on the tag. I looked at some other EM bras that come in both the S and 3D cuts and compared measurements for 65F since that is the only size both cuts come it, it seems like the main difference is the gore height and this bra does have a very low gore.
Unfortunately this bra doesn't fit, but I ordered as a part of a group order so it would be quite a hassle to return so I will be listing this. If anyone wants a somewhat unique bra this is your chance. The Orzechowa Pralinka doesn't show up anywhere as a 3d style so I'm not sure how this bra came to exist.
So Ive managed to get PL Black in 65E (as 65F was gapping). Definitely, i need to try 70DD in new collection (if there will any plunge). The bra fits, I just need to use extender with 2 extra sets of eyes and it fits well. The straps obviously as it is in smaller bands, are slightly too wide - im thinking to change placement of straps in the front - so i may get nicer cleavage as currently is okay but could get more. Overall bra seams to be comfy.
So finally have my Motyl that I was dreaming of (Ive got it few weeks ago). The fit is not as perfect as in 70DD - Ewa Michalak » Hm Cukiereczek (574) but is good enough to keep it and never let it go! It makes my boobs looking down tiny bit, but who cares ! I love the bra so much. The only thing I need to do is to replace fully stretched straps. Overall, im happy with it and cant wait to wear it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is gorgeous. As one of Ewa's older styles, the band is a bit looser than her newer ones. Fits very true to size for a HM (ie, is roughly equivalent to a padded 65F). Too big for me sadly (I wear a 65E).
I love the pattern on this one, unfortunately, it cuts into the top of my breast a little bit. It seems to be a little more closed on top than some of Ewas other CHPs.
Super cute. Got this from another Bratabasr user and wore it once or twice. It's very comfortable and the look achieved from the cups is very similar to a padded bra. Never experienced this from an unpadded bra before, so that's amazing to me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" /> Cups are narrow, close-set, room for projection, typical Polish bra plus awesome shape. Unfortunately this no longer fits me :/
Wanabee Thank you!! :D I know, this is one of my favorites 😢😢😢 but I guess I will just keep an eye out for another :) How have you been? :)
Queequeg0925 Like you, I've been busy with non-bra related issues, and AWOL from Bratabase until recently. I seem to be getting my priorities back in order now though. :D
I saw you just moved? Does that mean a NEW and BETTER job???
Wanabee I did! :D No job yet, but I hope something will bite soon! I'm in a college town, so there have to be jobs available. Hopefully something good is lurking around somewhere ^_^
I typically wear Ewa Michalak 65E Ch/Chps, and I've recently noticed them being a tad small. However, I think this 3D fits me without the quadding I've been getting in the CHs. The cup shape is more open on top, but not quite as deep as the CH/Chps.
So at some point, I'll write a real review, with non-grainy pictures, but I love this bra so much I had to share. I wasn't sure about how the CHP would work for me, because I've heard that it's shallower, wider set, and more open on top than the other EM cuts. This particular model does not have pockets for cookies. The wires on this (at around 4.7 inches) are perfectly narrow and there is considerable immediate projection. The cups are fairly open on top, but they're cut very low so they should work with a variety of shapes. I would say this is on the smaller side ...for me and if it did have cookies, I would likely not be able to wear them. There is a LOT of cleavage going on with this bra. I'm used to a lot more coverage from my well-fitting bras, but I believe this is how CHP is supposed to fit? It gives a nice cakes on a plate look that would be lovely under a scoop neck. I was worried about the center gore on this bra, but it's actually not that high. It comes to around 2.1" which is really fairly standard and the wires do cross at the top.
The straps are wideset and very stretchy, but the bra is made well enough that they don't really need to do much. They're a bit annoying being so wide, but that's what I get for buying 30s when I wear a 26. It's definitely a weird strap design, because they're quite thick but yet not supportive because they're elastic on the front. Is this supposed to be for comfort?
The design of this bra is absolutely gorgeous. I love mint green so much and my pictures definitely don't do this beauty justice. The floral appliqué at the top looks high quality and is very unique. This is the kind of bra that deserves to be shown off! The back of the bra is just a plain, ballet back in the same color with a 2x3 fastener. The band is very tight for a 65 as it stretches out to a maximum of around 28.5 inches. Of course, this is still too large for me, but it means I only need to do a little alteration. I can comfortably wear the bra on it's tightest hooks and will probably wear it on the middle hooks for less active days. The band fabric is also very stretchy and the fabric is very soft (almost VS levels of band softness).
Overall, I'd definitely be interested in trying more styles in the CHP style. I appreciate the very narrow cup width, immediate projection, and Marie Antoinette cleavage. Read more 345 more words
