This looks so great on you! Finally got the right size I guess? Congrats on finding the perfect bra.
You look lots more comfy in this than the 65FFs!
brasaremean - SOooooooo much more so. I sold my 65FF Fluo to rachaelll ;) Antonina is just a smidge bigger and tolerable. But definately like 65G more. :)
The half lace BMs are awesome, aren't they? I Loved them.
Exceptionally beautiful! I just can’t resist a purple bra, and I own quite a few… at this point, I’ve decided purple is a neutral, in my bradrobe at least https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> PL Fairytale is a deep indigo with the most incredible lace I’ve ever seen… swirling ribbons, leaves and flowers that look especially beautiful and delicate on the back of the matching underwear. It does almost look like the illustrations that would be in the margins of an old-fashioned fairytale storybook, so the name is very apt, I think! The straps are trimmed with lavender satin and bows… I die!
The fit for ...me is true to size in the band and cups. The low gore gets out of the way of my boobs and provides a nice deep cleavage. My only gripe with this bra is the shape: while it’s very narrow and compact from the front, from the side it’s super projected and not quite as rounded as my ideal. Hopefully, this will get better with some wash and wear. Overall, I think this is a very high quality bra and I’m in love with the aesthetic https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 94 more words
That is a beauty!! I have been on the fence about getting an Ewa; I think I just need to bite the bullet because I need a gorgeous purple bra in my life. :)
It's kinda neat that we're all getting our bras now. I got mine saturday and wore the set then. Mine is in your sister size 55H and I'm in love! The straps look much better on you then me though. My band ran a little small, but I heard it ran stretchy...so I was nervous and glad it didn't! It looks amazing on you!
This looks so beautiful on you! I was hoping mine would come in today but I didn't get that lucky. It's absolutely gorgeous though.
So nice!!
Thanks everyone!!
I'm relieved I ordered the same bra, VioletIridescence ! It looks stunning in your pictures. Thanks for the review!
I measure around a UK 26GG/28G lately and was sure that this would be too big for me, but it actually fits great on my bigger side. The wires are about two fingers' width too wide for me, but they don't stab me in the armpit so that doesn't bother me. I wear the band on the second loosest hook since it rides up a bit on the loosest.
The last time I tried a PL was the 60G PL Misty that's a little small on my bigger side now and not nearly as flattering as my beloved CHPs, but I wanted ...to give the cut a shot again. I'm glad I did because this bra is super flattering on me! I'm still never going to get buttcrack cleavage in a wired bra, but this gives me serious lift and "oomph." I'm not sure what distinguishes this one from the PL Misty but they really do very different things for my chest.
The gore is nice and low but the wire digs into my sternum on my right (bigger) side for some reason even though the cup separation is the same as on my CHPs. I can wear this all day but that wire definitely bothers me. Aside from that, it feels great. The cup construction is a little weird, with what seems like extra fabric below the seam that runs along a couple inches beneath the top of the cup, but doesn't affect the appearance. All in all, I'm super happy with my purchase and might have to reconsider my dislike of the PL cut! Read more 164 more words
My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, soft and self-supporting tissue, and super close-set. My usual UK size is 28FF/G depending on how open on top the bra is.
I got this bra in 65G because I have a BM Lulu Bra in the same size that has wrinkles only on my smaller boob. For some reason I always have to size up a cup in Ewa Michalak. Apart from the wrinkles (which I hope disappears when I wear it near my period), this bra fits me perfectly - the band is snug like a 28, the cups are narrow and deep, ...a bit too open on top/ centre for me, and not as tall as my BM. Hence I don't really understand why I'm having more wrinkles in this bra than in BM. The gore is also low and slightly overlapped which makes it so comfortable.
I used pasties in the fit pictures because I don't want my nipples on the internet, as the mesh is see-through (so nipples might be visible under thinner tops). It's a very elegant and sexy bra. Read more 80 more words
This bra was one I had seen on EM’s Instagram and fell in love with the color! It’s a beautiful light blue. The color makes me think of blue hydrangea. Since this was not available in store, I contacted them and here it is. I also opted for a lovely pair of matching briefs. This shade of blue is so pretty, it would definitely count as “something blue” on your wedding day.
The cups are the same lace you’ll find on many of the BM bras. The cups are the three part cup with a matching color non-stretch netting on the lower cup and stretch netting under the ...upper cup lace. The center gore has a touch of lace over a solid rocker, with a lovely matching blue bow on the center. The back-band is stretch fabric and lined with matching blue stretch netting. The back clasp is a 2x4. The straps have a lovely sheen to them with scalloped edges. There are matching bows where the cup meets the strap. The hardware is white. Over all I think this runs on the slightly small/snug side.
Briefs in size 38: I purchased the matching panties in my usual side. The front has a delicate front panel with lace accent on the front hip area. There are two small matching blue bows where the lace meets the front panel at the leg opening. The back is a sheer one layer of matching sheer blue stretch fabric. There is a cute little matching bow at the top back waistband. All elastic is the same color blue. There is a white cotton gusset in the crotch. Read more 164 more words
I looove this colour! It looks great on you. So you ordered from EM directly but they didn’t have it on their website?
margesimpson Correct. They don’t have it on their website, at least not yet. I’m not sure if this will be an actual release. But I saw it on Instagram and I really wanted it. I emailed customer service and asked if it would be available any time soon. Since I order so much from them, she said they’d be more than happy to make one for me. So I then added the matching panties.
Interesting! That’s great that you could order one. I mean, you’re probably one of their best customers haha
margesimpson lol shhhhh don’t let my husband hear you say that. Hahah. I totally revamped my bra/undie wardrobe. I’m still waiting for a few more to come. Then I think I have shift gears and start picking up some matching sets for my teen for Christmas, now that we know her Comexim size, 28DD.
It's always a toss up, because the more bras you have, the longer they last, soooo....
It's like kind of taking care of your bras to have more (in a way...if that make sense, lol)
Love this colour!
Happy2BraShop hahaha I’m doing the same, waiting for more deliveries!
What? Another BM? Oh no she didn’t! Pffftttt but of course I did lol. And boy is she like, BAM! Hot Pink!!
Róż fits like my other all lace BM’s, other than Kleks (glares in dark navy blue ō_Ō )
The outside fabric is bright hot pink. The lace is the exact same lace used for the BM Amazing. But due to this bra being completely lined in a beige toned micro stretch netting, it gives off a more true to color, vs Amazing which tone is slightly changed due to being backed in white. The lace covers the entire bra with matching hot pink elastic. The elastic has ...a sheen to the center of it and scalloped edges. There are hot pink bows where the elastic meets the cup as well as the center gore. The back clasp is hot pink with a 2x4 closure. The hardware is beige in color, matching the interior lining.
High waisted briefs in size 38. The briefs have matching hot pink lace all around the sides and back, and is not lined. The center panel in the front has a slightly different pink tone to it, but it adds lots of depth to it. There is lace detail on the top of the front panel. There are two cute hot pink bows on the front of the leg hols where the lace meets the center panel. There is a hot pink bow on the top back. These are definitely a cut that gives you a wedgie fit. I think of it as a hybrid fit between a brief and a thong. Read more 159 more words
Yes! I love my BM Roz and glad you like yours too :)
I think the hot pink colour suits a variety of skin tones
BraOdyssey I definitely love the color. Can’t wait to wear it under all my bland gray and navy tops haha. margesimpson I totally got it after I saw it on you! The color is too fabulous.
margesimpson Yes! This color is one of those colors that universally pops and flatters on every skin tone.
Oh I’m glad mine inspired you! I think it’s the most vivid colour I’ve ever had in a well fitting bra LOL
This is so pretty!
I really don't like hot pink, especially when it comes to bras but gosh, this is really pretty on you! Also, you could try wearing it under a white shirt for that extra extraness, it'd look so cool!
MeeM_13 I just might have to try that. Of course me and cool are usually never used in the same sentence haha. But these days fashion rules seem to be a free for all and what ever goes.
Happy2BraShop there's something very empowering about wearing something sheer, especially when there's a pop of colour under. There are no defining rules for fashion or being cool!
I’m definitely one to have a good solid black workhorse bra in my collection. I originally picked this bra up second hand in a 70G, and loved it, but needed a better fit. I can tell this is a second generation. The lace on the cups isn’t as thick as my 70G, but I’m not mad at it. I actually like it. I also feel this falls in line with the fit more like BM Kleks and Malachit.
The outer lace is definitely more open stitched and airy. The lower cup consists of a non stretch black mesh inside. The upper cup of course is black stretch lace ...over black stretch mesh. The center gore has a single layer of black mesh with a lovely satin V ribbon detail. The lace continues along the bottom rocker and halfway onto the side of the back-band. There is a cute little black bow with a diamond charm. Thew elastic straps are a little more on the firm stretch side, with cute little black bows where the straps meet the cup. All hardware is black. The back portion of the back-band is a single layer of black satin stretch fabric. There is a 2x4 clasp. Read more 94 more words
When I saw this on the EM website I fell in love with the color and pattern. And I don’t even like floral patterns. I was torn between a 65G and a 65GG. Since I believe I’m in between sizes, I sized down to the 65G as suggested for the Sf. The band is very firm and so are the lower portion of the cups. The fabric has some very slight rippling due to the stiffness is the fabric. It doesn’t quite conform to the body like a more playable fabric, yet doesn’t isn’t as stiff as a S cut to where the padding prevents such rippling. Since ...it’s evident on many Sf bras, I’ll say it’s normal. The straps are a beautiful shade of purple, being a little more intense shade than the purple on the upper cup. It has a intense purple bow on both the center gore and where the strap meets to cup. The upper cups are a stretchy forgiving muted purple mesh. I’m currently a little heavier than usual, due to quarantine snacks and lack of being active added to that time of the month. But it is still comfortable and functional. The only thing I wish this style had was a 3x3 fastener on the back.
I purchased the matching panties in size 38. The front of the panties has the same floral print fabric with two purple panels up the front. There is a cute purple bow in the center at the top. The front of the panty has purple scalloped elastic along the leg line, but just till it meets the side seams. The same purple scalloped elastic runs around the whole top. The back of the panty is just the floral fabric with a seam up the back. The lower edge finished with a fine purple thread rolled edge. There is a white cotton gusset in the middle of the crotch.

I hemmed and hawed about buying this bra, not being sure about the print, but I am SUPER happy that I bought it.
The print is so 1950's and I love that stuff. It's so obnoxiously Grandma that it's kinda hot.
This SF has stretch lace at the top of the cup and I like that more than the mesh on the beige one that I bought. I also love that the printed fabric is used for the band.
Fit is perfect except for the classic SF bottom of cup wrinkling. I'll deal with that.
UPDATE: after a month of wearing, this is my FAVOURITE bra. It's the most comfortable and supportive one I own. Everything about it, especially the band, is about as close to perfect as I can expect - even with my 1/2 cup size asymmetry. I really hope she releases more like this in the near future.
1950's! Funny. I love retro stuff, maybe I should look at this one again.
I can't remember what you've said about SF before. Do you find it shallow at the wire? I'm debating if the SF would fit me better than BM, but I'm not sure about it if it's shallow at the bottom?
Wilderness1 They are, and the wires are also shaped more like / rather than | under the armpit, if that helps.
@Wilderness everyone "complains" about wrinkling in the bottom of Sf cups. Even on Ewa's models, you'll see the wrinkling. I'll wear the bra today and let you know if it slips down out of my imf - then I'll know if it's a depth at the wire issue.
oh ok, thanks Sovavosi ! I'll have to give it some thought then...
It's better in person than on the photos, right? I am very fond of this one.
@Wilderness Sovavosi is correct about the wire shape. If you look at the side of my SF versus my BM Bibi you can see. In my size it's not that great a difference though. Maybe 3/4 - 1 cm more open wire under the arm pit.
MamaPagan I am in love with it. I also bought the matching panties during the sale in size 46. LOL. I did that on purpose - Julia at Ellesmere is going to cut them up and make 2 pairs of tangas for me. I have Wersal and Bibi Perlas too, to do the same thing.
Damn, that was a genius idea AprilGoulding! And it makes tje price per pair even cheaper!!!
Yes! I paid $20 Can (including duty) for the panties. Julia can make 2 pairs out of it, so once I pay her for labour and new elastics, I'll have 2 maybe 3 pairs for about $50...
I FINALLY received my EM 65G SM Rozmarzona today. It came to me via rachaelll and Sonya .
It fits, girls https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Even the panties fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I am happy today, as I will now have 3 bras in my rotation lol (I lol because before my augmentation I had 40 bras (I gave them all away)).
After trying the PL Chalet in 65G and it not fitting (either too big or not projected enough), I was worried that this one wouldn't fit either.
It's pretty darn good though. ...I'd give it a 9.5/10.
There's a TEENY bit of gaping right at the lace edge on top, but not worth complaining about. It tacks perfectly. The band is a nice tight 65. I'm wearing it at the loosest hook, but COULD wear it on the second. The straps are wide set, but the fabric is soft, the wings don't dig into my armpits, and the wires are PERFECT, so I think "we" will be ok.
I am normally not a fan of bows, but on this style they're oversized and it's a "cheeky, confectionary" look, so I like it.
The mesh is soft but stable and the lace isn't at all scratchy.
I've put it on and I'm not taking it off before bed https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 129 more words
I got this bra along with 65FF - Ewa Michalak » Bm Porcelain from Bella Rosa Lingerie on Instagram, based in the UK. I was recommended to get a 65G (one cup size up) in this bra because it's a padded style. I lost track of my UK size because I almost exclusively wear Polish now, but I guess I'm a 28FF. My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, soft and self-supporting tissue, and super close-set.
Did EM change their band sizing? Their 65 bands have always fit like 28 or in some cases 26 but this one fits like ...a 30. It only feels snug on the tightest hooks. I feel that the cups are actually true to size, as I am unable to fill them out. It's better with the cookies but I prefer to wear a bra without. The cups, made from 3 lined parts with vertical seams only, are narrow, projected and open on top.
The Antonina lace is as pretty as expected, and I would love to try this bra in the right size, perhaps a 60G? Read more 81 more words
I did not mean to purchase this bra because I already have it in this size. I found it on a resell app that I was not familiar with and I thought I was putting in my address and paypal details for the app, but I was actually entering them for the purchase! This is my all time favorite unlined bra, so I figured I would either keep it and have two or list it. This is an older design of the bra with several details that differ from the new one I have. The band is a see through mesh which I added a photo of next ...to the newer bra to show the band comparison. The newer band is a black fabric that's a little more rigid. The band measures shorter unstretched, which gives it a firm fit when wearing. Not as firm as the newer one I have or a PL band, but definitely more firm than the PLM band. The bow detail on the center gore is a much larger bow than the newer one. The elastic for the straps is two layers, with the top layer being similar to the elastic Ewa uses now that has the little loops coming off the edge. The bottom layer is a little wider so the loops are covered, which adds to the strength of the strap itself and keeps the adjuster ring in place well. The cup height is a little taller, which could be from wear. The wires are a tiny bit softer and shorter on the outer side. The overall construction and fit feels very similar, with the only difference I could feel being the band firmness. It's still my favorite unlined bra and I'm very impressed with the quality of this bra considering it may be a bit older. Read more 196 more words
Oh no an accidental purchase lol! I’ve done that too haha but like you said, you can always resell or keep as a spare.
I’m very curious about this bra but when I look at the measurements under my size on here, it seems like the cup separation is a bit too much for me. How do you find the gore? I’m curious because we seem to have similar issues with gores.
margesimpson It's hard to say because the gore was perfect in this bra when I was a 65FF and now is a little wide/tall at 65G. This one is older and has been worn so it is broken in and not uncomfortable at the gore, but it does sit on tissue a little. It's slightly overlapped at the very top and pretty short at the gore, so it may work for you.
Happy2BraShop I laughed at my error for a few days and had decided to list it when I got it, but it was a pleasant accident! It's a perfect summer bra so I may end up keeping it.
My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, soft and self-supporting tissue, and super close-set. My usual UK size is 28FF/G depending on how open on top the bra is.
I missed the reviews saying this bra runs large. It does and it's too big on me, even though the measurements doesn't seem that big, which is a shame because it's so beautiful! I'm sorry the pictures I take have show such different colors because of the lighting. But it's a lovely, gentle, elegant shade of pink.
The band runs tight, and the cups are narrow and projected. The stretch lace would accommodate top fullness so well, if only it was the right size for me.
I was so excited about this one. As if I’m not about all the other lol. I’m usually not a big fan of your basic pale pink bra, but this is a very lovely shade and I did want a pink bra in my collection. I’d call this a light ballet pink. It’s not a cool toned pink and it’s not peach. It’s a great neutral undertone pink that will flatter every skin tone! From very fair to dark and lovely. The lace on this is beautiful with just a hint of shimmer on the lace. There is a white mesh non stretch lining on the lower half ...of the cup with a white stretch mesh along the upper cup. The cups are nice and deep with narrow wires, tho I feel this runs a little bigger than some of my other BM’s in the cup despite the physical measurements. A plus for me as I am contained and get a great supported uplifted look and feel. The back band is a basic spandex one tone stretch fabric with a white stretch mesh lining. It has 3x4 hooks!!!! I jumped for joy when I saw this as I pulled it out. I freaking love the 3x4 hooks and wish all my other BM’s in this size had it. Still not sure why some are only 2. Anyway. There are two small bows where the strap meets the cup, and a pink bow on the center gore with a diamond gem pendant, the same as on the BM Kleks. The straps have a lovely sheen to them with a gentle firm stretch. Hardware is white.
Apricot briefs: I purchased these in my usual size 38. The front of the panties has a center single layer spandex stretch panel with coordinating lace on the sides. There is scalloped lace along the front half of the leg holes. The back consists of two layers of sheer stretch mesh with a rolled thread hem. There is a seem down the center with a pink bow at the top. The front of the panty has a pink bow with matching diamond gem pendant. There is a white cotton gusset in the crotch.

Oh Kleks how I love you, my dark starry night. I really was on the fence about this. In a lot of the pictures it looks so dark, almost like a blue based black. But it is in fact dark Navy. This is one of those bras that it really is hard to capture what your eyes are seeing, in a picture. The lower cup consists of a black non stretch mesh, with a dark navy lace overlay. The upper portion of the cup is the dark navy lace backed by a black stretch mesh, as most of the BM’s are styled in. The dark navy lace continues ...on to the center gore and around the full back band. The back band is lined with a black mesh. The center gore has a lovely navy bow with a diamond like gem pendant hanging from it. There are identical bows and diamond pendant gems where the cup meets the strap. Thus giving me the lovely image of a deep dark night with a few bright stars. The straps are a satin finish dark navy elastic, that I feel are more on the flexible stretchy side. There is a dark navy 2x4 back closure. In reviewing other Kleks data, it appears that some received their 65G with a 3x4 closure. So bummed mine didn’t have that since it’s my preference. I’m now assuming the newer BM’s made will come with 2x4 closure in a size 65G.
Kleks Briefs: I purchased in my usual size 38. The front panel is made of a dark navy cotton based stretch fabric. The side panels are the same lovely dark navy stretch lace as the bra cups. The lace wraps around to the back with a seem up the back. There is a black sheer stretch fabric underlay, edged in a navy thread rolled edge. There is black scalloped elastic up the front portion of the leg hole as well as along the top of the pantie. There is a black cotton gusset in the crotch. There is a navy bow on the top back and there is a navy bow on the top of the front with a matching diamond gem pendant. Read more 259 more words
It's sure a beautiful bra. But in your side view pictures I feel there are very tiny quad boobs, maybe it's just an angle problem (or I'm too picky). However when I found this on my body, I will definitely start to looking for new bras XD. My boobs keep changing every month and it makes me feeling insecure.
smjwzhan Your eyes are not deceiving you. My boobs are very full right now because I’m 7 weeks pregnant. Since it’s fitting exactly how all my other BM’s are fitting at the moment, I set the fit in accordance to that since this was my last bra order to come in. After this, all bras will be maternity. :)
Next to grey bras I love blue! This is a beautiful cobalt blue color. My husband called it my “Superman bra”.
This bra has a lovely stretch lace over a medium nude mesh. The lower cup consists of a non stretch nude fabric with the upper cup being lined in a nude stretch mesh. The center gore has lace over nude backing with a very hot pink bow on the center. There are no adornments where the cup meets the straps. The center gore lace ends in the middle under the cup, with a fabric that has a sheen to it, continuing all the way around the band ...to the back. The backband has the stretch sheen fabric, much like bathing suit material, with a nude stretch fabric under layer. There is a 2x4 back clasp. The hook and eyes are blue with all other hardware being nude in color. The straps are a beautiful cobalt blue elastic with a sheen to it. This bra is extremely comfortable. The color is very vibrant and bold. I definitely feel super wearing it lol.
The matching panties are briefs in a size 38. There is a single layer of sheen stretch fabric with single layer lace on the hips. There is blue scalloped elastic up the front of the leg holes. There is blue scalloped elastic along the entire top. The back is made with just the plain blue sheen fabric with a seam up the back. There is a cute hot pink bow at the top. The gusset is lined with a medium nude cotton fabric. Read more 157 more words
When I saw this particular bra I drug my feet getting it. Now I have no idea why I waited so long! I’m a sucker for a gray bra, and this is absolutely lovely. Now let me start by saying, the little pink pom-pom on the bra and panties reminds me very much of Easter bunny lol. The bra being the nose and the one on the back of the panties the tail.
The bra, it is a lovely cool toned gray with a modern take on a flower print. The pink on this bra, I’d say is more of a ballet pink, with the pom-pom and bows ...more of a baby pink. The flowers are white or dark gray. Resembling quick flower sketches. The cup fabric is a stretchy smooth fabric on the outer cup. The inner cup lower portion is a sturdy thick non stretch white fabric. The upper cup is a stretchy single layer of beautiful lace that is gray with shimmery pink floral pattern. There is a baby pink bow where the cup meets the strap and a pink pom-pom on the center gore. The gray fabric wraps all the way around the bra band. The band consists of the outer grey print fabric and inner white sturdy power knit fabric. There is pink scalloped elastic along the entire lower portion of the band as well as from the strap down the armpit to where the back straps attach. There is a 2x4 band closure. The straps are a beautiful pink smooth elastic with little scallop edging. All hardware is white. The fit of this bra is definitely stiffer than my other SF’s and I find this band a lot more snug and definitely firm. I feel I get a solid firm uplift in this bra, unlike my other SF’s that give a more natural forgiving fit.
The panties: Both pairs are size 38.
High waisted briefs: The front center panel is made of a single layer of the grey floral print fabric. There is a pink satin ribbon on the edge of this panel, that ends in a pink bow, with a single layer panel of matching bra lace on both sides. Then there is a single layer, fine grey mesh that continues all the way around to the back. There is a seam up the center. There are two strips of pink satin ribbon down the back, one on each cheek, that ends in a cute pink bow. There is pink scalloped elastic that runs along the entire top of the pantie as well as up the front of the leg holes till it meets the edge of the fancy elastic panel. Then the edge is just a pink thread fine rolled hem. There is a cute pom-pom on the top of the back. There is a white cotton gusset on the inside of the crotch.
Breifs: There is a single layer of grey fabric up the front as well as the back area. There is stretch elastic, that matches the top of the bra cup, on the hips that wraps around to the back along the lower portion of the pantie, giving a v-shape to it. There is pink scalloped elastic along the entire top of the pantie, as well as up the front leg hole that ends at the side seams. There is a pink pom-pom at the top of the back. There is a white cotton gusset on the inside of the crotch.
Overall I adore the cuteness of this bra and the two pairs of matching panties I have. It just screams bunny rabbit to me for some reason lol. Read more 503 more words
This is now the bunny bra...I can never see it as anything else again. :D
jazzypants EM bras are definitely my go-2 bras now. Now that I’ve discovered the function and comfort of the SF and BM, I NEED them in every color lol.
I’ve been on a hunt for a replacement to my much loved Wróżka. I think I may have found it with Yennefer.
The bra cups consist of a single layer of non stretch black lace with a subtle flower shape in it. The upper triangle piece where the cup meets the strap has a fine open hole black mesh backed with a fine medium nude tone fabric. There is a small black bow where the cup meets the strap. The center gore has a nude portion with a v-shape if lace in the center. The lower part has the same black open hole mesh backed by the nude ...fabric. There is a black bow with a large faux diamond backed by silver metal hanging from the bow. I have to say in my size the center gore isn’t as high as larger cup sizes, so you don’t see as much center gore detail as you would in the upper cup sizes. The lower rocker is the black open hole mesh backed with the nude fabric that has black lace that runs along the lower part. These both end at the side seam where the black backband attaches. The backband is a single layer of mesh that is rather stretchy. If you are hard on your bras I can see this wearing out probably quickly, but I don’t feel it easily snags on nails or anything. Back closure is a 2x4 black clasp. All hardware is black. Straps are black elastic with open scalloped edging with a medium stretch to it. Very beautiful and sexy for sure. Read more 158 more words
After having great success with my BM Wenecja, I just had to have more in the BM cut. Oh my gosh the color is amazing! This bra is playful and fun. A very vivid aqua color indeed. The lace is very soft and not scratchy at all. The backband is TTS for a 65 band with the lace continuing on the band all the way around. On the side of the band where it meets the cup, there is a white net accent with a strip of white with black dot ribbon. There is also a small bow on the intersecting point of the band detail. The back ...clasp is a 3x4 and I’m so happy about this as it’s my preference. The center gore has a cute white mesh diamond pattern with the bottom lined with the white with black dot ribbon. There is a cute white bow with black dots on the center gore. The cups are a vivid aqua lace over white ridged mesh for the lower portion of the cup and an aqua lace with a white stretch underlayer for the upper portion of the cup. The straps are a soft smooth aqua elastic with white hardware. There is a white with black dot bow where the cup meets the strap. I’m so happy with the color, the look, the quality, and the comfort!
I’m especially happy with the back clasp having a 3x4 closure, unlike my BM Wenecja that has a 2x4 closure on the same BM size 65G. I’m confused why some 65G have the 3 rows vs some that only having 2 rows of hooks. Moving forward I’ll be asking in advance before ordering in this size if it has the 3x4 closure as I feel it gives a much better band fit comfort for me.
I purchased the matching thong panties in size 38. The front has a sheet white center panel with aqua lace overlay in an upside down V pattern. The edge of the V shape is edged with white with black dot ribbon. There are two small matching white with black dot bows towards the bottom. The sheer white fabric wraps around the the back. The lower edge has a fine aqua thread wrap. The upper part has the same aqua stretch lace. It meets in the back and has a bigger white bow with black dots. The back thong part is made of the sheer fabric and has an aqua scalloped elastic that runs along both sides. There is a white cotton gusset in the middle of the crotch. Read more 322 more words
I started the new year off with bra alteration adventure! I got this bra in a swap from martka00, despite finding the straps on my 65FF S far too wide. This bra, in its unaltered state, was not a great fit. The straps were cutting into my armpits and I had gaping at the top corners of the cups. I liked the fit of the rest of the bra enough to try my hand at some alterations. I found this strap alteration tutorial online http://dressingcurves.blogspot.com/2012/03/alterations-moving-strap-position.html and followed the instructions. I moved the straps in by 2cm on each side of the bra - and the fit is now almost perfect. I will admit that my alteration did not turn out as neat the one in the tutorial, but it is passable. I need some more practice before I try this on a bra with more detailing, but I am really happy with the improved fit. This bra is super comfortable.
Nice! Are you thinking about trying this on your Fluo as well?
veggiechic I'm a little nervous about trying it on the Fluo, as the lace is so delicate. I think I need a little more practice first.
This looks great!
I think it looks better like this! It’s so elegant with its wider straps. Like a old Hollywood glamor.
cupandahalf I agree. I love the wide cushioned straps.
And those straps are super comfy for all day wear..... All bras should have straps like those.
MamaPagan agreed!
Yay!!! You got an S to fit. It looks great on you now. I'm taking another shot at an S. I included one in my order with Magda. If it doesnt work in 65G I'm gonna give up on ewa padded styles..
rachaelll I had forgotten about this tutorial. Thanks for posting it again. I might try this on my new S, it can't possibly get any worse than it already is.
AprilGoulding you might want to ask Magda to take the straps in for you on the S. MamaPagan said that Magda can arrange alterations before shipping the bras to Canada
Sovavosi that's exactly what I thought! Hopefully, it works well for you.
If only there was a tutorial for adding depth at the base without adding height to the cup......
MamaPagan Someone on Reddit did that but they had to cut the bra apart and insert a new panel in vertically.
O.o Fabric matching would be difficult. .......oh, and my lack of seamstress skills would be an issue. Haha!
rachaelll if the bra fits but straps need moving, I'll get Julia at Ellesmere to do it. I dont want to alter before trying it on, in case I need to sell it
Yes, @savovosi and MamaPagan, with my mediocre sewing skills I would imagine inserting some triangular darts at the bottom part of the seem(s) would be a way to do it. I would certainly be nervous to try, but it might be better than having a bra that doesn't fit sitting around.
veggiechic I have the hardest time getting over the "you're wrecking it, OMG" feeling whenever I think about altering something.
Been there, done that.....horribly, haha! Just remember if you don't succeed, it can't be worse than my Frankenbra failure, and I can send you that link to make you feel better. So far it has worked everytime at making others feel better with their sewing fumbles. :-D
Wow! It looks fantastic! I am so glad that it’s a good fit now. I really do love my 70E S Szykus but I know it is too small and I really want to try a 70F or maybe 65FF in another S (band has to stretch to 29” minimum, so whichever size will give me that). I would be so nervous about altering it myself, but it is probably among the easiest of the alterations as well as most useful. Well done! I hope you enjoy your new S bra.
This looks so great on you! Finally got the right size I guess? Congrats on finding the perfect bra.
