This bra is absolutely gorgeous and super high quality. It's very comfortable and makes my boobs look GREAT! There are removable pads, which is helpful if you have different sized breasts (like me). The straps are a bit wide set for me, but I am quite narrow. I have narrow, short roots and lots of projection and this bra is great for that! During my period, it fits perfectly. The rest of the time, there is slight gapping and the band is a bit too loose. I could probably go a band size down and keep the cup size the same for a better fit.
My shape: Medium wide, even fulness, tall roots, firm.
I was very pleased with this bra when I took it out of the box: The material looks really nice and shiny, and it's super soft against the skin. The finishing includes black trimmings and many nice details and is superb overall.
However, CHP Office is a fit desaster. It runs small in the cups (1/2-1 cups imho) and is very open on top. Don't get me wrong: I usually prefer bras that are open on top, due to my tall roots and upper fulness, but it seems like the curvature of the cups does not follow the natural shape of the ...boobs at all. When I tried it on, I got quadboob. At the same time, the rim was sticking out and created an odd, boxy shape under a shirt. I was not pleased. The Ewa Michalak Chp Red Wine I ordered a few months ago (same size!) fits just perfectly, is a pleasure to wear, and nearly invisible under a shirt.
This really is a thing with Ewa Michalak: Every order is a grab bag, and you never know what you get. Read more 81 more words
This is the third BM bra that I own, and it fits similarly to the BM Naomi, except the band is more firm (with the Naomi, I felt like I could have sized down to 65). Like the other BM's I have the wires are too heavy for me. The gore is painful.
So finally got my EM Klaudyna.. Its so lovely and so soft! i was so happy when I received it today.. Until I've tried it.. Band is quite tight, the wires dig into my chest..even if i use extender. Just.. it doesnt feel right on me. On the larger brest looks perfect, on the smaller, weird. like it fits but doesn't at the same time. Such a shame as i really wanted it to work. Gives better cleavage than my Owoce Lesne.
After im used to wearing tighter bands, the bra feels ok, however Ive never worn this as I have other bras that fits me better. It gives me nice shape but i prefer my 70DD - Ewa Michalak » Ch Owoce Leśne (573)
Klaudyna is so gorgeous! Sorry it didnt work for you :( it didnt for me either :/ This one's got a really weird and inconsistent band too! Almost all of the ladies I blog with got it. Some had crazy tight bands, some totally normal, and mine was super loose!
gogobee i rather my band is looser as i can alter it easily (or my mom can:D). I may try this bra with extender once again, but today I'm just annoyed that is tighter than Owoce Lesne that are the same size.
Lesne was a freak of nature in the band too though lol!
oh it has stretchy band but it feels so nice and comfy. I know it will stretch quickly, but wish all my bras has so soft band!
Goodness this bra is gorgeous!!
I regret not getting one when it was on sale :(
lcl0706 it is !! And I decided to keep it as this what it does with my boobs.. Omg. Love it now !! Noob it is still worth to buy it with regular price :)
So, another soft cup bra from EM that doesnt fit.. Bra is beautiful as much as 65F - Ewa Michalak » Sm Czarna Mgiełka (481) but SM is more rounded and keeps breasts more in the middle. The band is almost perfect as for 70DD but I get quadboobs in it :/ And I dont think that sizing up will help. The bra gives much more natural shape than any other soft bra that I own and Im not big fan of it. I may try with new order SM in 70E or will give a go to BM style. Overal Mgielka in 3dm style is very comfy, and im dissappointed that it didnt work on me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Well, the bra looks nice, all details are really well made and so on. I took 70DD as this is my usual size in EM when getting 3d and CH/CHP. I found this one running tight in the band and in the cups, I would say is more as 65DD than 70DD - even if the measurement are more on the 70dd side, the bra is just smaller. If I will ever try it again, will go for 70E.
Out of 6 bras that i got recently, there are only 3 that fit me, and of them is 70DD - Ewa Michalak » Hm Cukiereczek (574) that looks so nice and girly. It was previously used, but looks like it wasn't! On the smaller side, there is a little bit of empty fabric, but its not an issue at all! looks really nice, even my mom didnt say anything that i spent so much on bras recently when she saw that one. the material is really well made. Love it! perfect summer bra!
PL in general is a plunge I wouldnt try on my center-heavy super soft boobs
dbmamaz I usually wouldn't either, but the 3D/Ms and the MP work well for me, so I thought I may get lucky with this too. I may with a different PL, but the ties on this are more than I want to fiddle with.
Beautiful bra vibrant colors. Band runs small and firm more like a 31 but has a little give. Cups were way too small depth wise so I got quadboob pretty bad. Cup width was a tiny bit small gore is just right narrow and low enough for me and I am pretty close set. I ordered a 65f and my fit problems are solved.
The Trapez is big in the cups (appx. 1 cup size maybe?) and not suited for my shallow shape. I have tall roots and a certain amount of projection, but not enough projection to fill these cups. The Trapez squished my boobs upwards like I've never seen before, but the cups were gapping because they were both too big and in the wrong shape. The shape was super pointy from the side, and it was clearly visible that the cups were not filled. (With the pads in there was less gapping - but the bra is still far from wearable.)
Further impressions: The band runs much stretchier than my other EM 70s. ...It felt too big, I had to close it on the innermost hook.
The straps are very wide (which is comfy, but may be a disadvantage under strappy tops) and super short. They're only 1/3 adjustable and came up too short for me on the longest setting (usually I don't need long straps).
/Update May 2014: Now that I've tried more 3D bras, I got decent fit results with the Ewa Michalak 3d Porcelanka (380) and Ewa Michalak 3d Szafirek (499), both in 70DD. If you are shallow and have high roots, I suggest looking into those, because fortunately, not all 3Ds fit that badly. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 112 more words
The HMs by Ewa Michalak run very open on top, and the Ewa Michalak Hm Margot is no exception to that rule. Make sure you order one cup size down from your regular size unless you are super full on top - otherwise you'll end up with a bra that is wrinkly and more full-coverage than you like https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />. This style is intended to be worn as a halfcup and it looks weird if it's too big.
This 3DM runs VERY tight in the band! The 70 band barely stretches to 70cm (28"). I could close it, but it felt much more comfortable with an extender.
Overall, I liked the fit of it much better than the Ewa Michalak 3dm Trefl (381). The band is tight and gives proper support. That's a big plus. The fit of the cup also improved, and the powermesh makes a stable construction.
The cups seemed to be in the right size for me - no cutting in or gaping.
Still, I wasn't completely happy with the shape it gave me. The shape wasn't rounded, but rather triangle-shaped and slightly pointy from the side. I'm not sure if this is due to the construction (cup not being rounded enough), or if I'm in the wrong size (70DD fits me in padded EM bras, but many people size down in unpadded ones).
It’s a really wonderful feeling to finally have a PERFECTLY fitting bikini. I’ve already tried another brands with a large size range, but now I have the best bikini ever conceived https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> On the advice of the shop, I ordered it in 70dd (my usual size is 65e) after my success with 70DD - Ewa Michalak » Pl Stalówka (328). I thought that sizing up the band would let me fasten the band on the last hook and hide the closing behind the material, but actually it fits perfectly on the loosest hook, the band is really firm, I would compare ...it to the 65 bands in EM half cups. The cups seem more or less identical like in Stalowka. They give a more pointy shape for the moment, but it seems it can change after washing. The inside of the cups is lined with cotton. The straps are half adjustable. The front part is sewed like in Ewa Michalak Chp Miedziak (472), quite wide, thick, it’s stabilized with a zig zag stitch in the middle so the elastic doesn’t fold up. The adjustable part is more “bra” than “bikini” style, the adjusters are white. The bottom is size 36. Read more 98 more words
I read a lot (an awful lot) about how to get the right size in Ewa Michalak before daring to order from Poland, and in the end, I just decided to go with the size Ewa's calculator gave me - one band size up and one cup size down from my regular Freya size of 30E - and the fit isn't too bad! Comparing it with my Cleo Marcie 30F, the unstretched band is 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch longer, but the band seems less stretchy and it fits securely.
I like the narrower, less shallow, cups on this bra, as they far better suited to my shape ...than the Bravissimo and Freya Deco plunge bras that I've tried in the past. The cup size seems to be comparable with my Cleo Lucy in 30E, although of course the 3d Wodzianka is padded. I might have been better with a 32E (70E) in this one, but I'd definitely need the extra pads on my smaller side. Overall, I'm very pleased to have a plunge bra that fits me reasonably well, and at just £2 more than the full-price Freya Deco - including postage from Poland and the surcharge for using PayPal - it's good enough value that I shall definitely be ordering more bras from Ewa in the future.

Me: very soft tissue; Measurements: UB 68/72 cm (26.5/28.5"), Bust 87/92 (34/36.5")
Band: Quite tight! I'm glad I sized up to a 70 because it barely stretches to 71 cm. Mesh is firm and the wings are high. I probably couldn't even fasten a 65, and I don't think a 75 would be out of line here. Definitely size up.
Cups: Runs small. Feels stiffer than the other 3D bras I own. This has the effect of really collecting and holding the breasts very securely - less bounce but still excellent cleavage. Cups run small and seem to ...be lower in height (which I like - more breast exposed). I normally pad my smaller breast, but I don't here (and it fits fine) and I get some quadboob on the larger side. I've ordered a larger cup size to see if it fits better.
I think the stiffer cups also change the shape a little bit - normally the 3D is quite pointy until it is worn bit but this one has a more subtle, rounded shape right out of the box.
Wires: Flexible, but not too much. Very comfortable.
Straps: stretchy and adjustable over the whole length.
Fabric: A true deep red covered with lace. Seams are covered in shiny black trim which lays flat under shirts. Maybe it is cliche but I really love a red and black color combination so it is already one of my favorites. It could be considered scratchy for people with sensitive skin.
Overall, I LOVE this bra. The matching briefs are nice, though the elastic is a little tight at the top and the ruffles make it somewhat bulky under tight clothing.
My breasts: Narrow, tall root, I fit a 30E in Freya, and 30F in most other bras. I have quite a bit of immediate projection, which makes finding bras where the wires don't get pushed down out of my inframammary fold hard to find. My breasts are close set, with a little bit less than a pinky's width between them.
This is a lovely bra, a little bit busy with lace for my taste, but amazingly discrete under shirts, it shows probably less than my Freya Patsy. The band is very firm, and smaller than a 32, and I am glad I chose the 70DD (32DD) than the ...65E (30E). The band on this bra is significantly tighter than the PL Onyks of the same size (http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dladc/) that I purchased at the same time, with a stretched length that was an inch smaller. I wore it for 12+ hours, but I was feeling it at around 7 hours. It was uncomfortable enough that I took it off first thing, but not uncomfortable enough that I didn't run my errands after work. I will, however, wear it with an extender, or for shorter amounts of time, until it loosens up a bit.
My breast roots are freakishly narrow, I guess, and the wires are still a little bit wide (less than a half inch), but its a good fit. The wires may also seem wide because the band is a bit too tight and its distorting the wires - according to my measurments, the wires for this Orchidea are the same as the Pl Onyks, so the wires should fit the same. I'll try it with an extender and see. My roots are very tall, up to my collar bone, and this bra gives me a nice shape, though not as good as the PL Onkys. The straps seem a bit stretchy, but are fully adjustable, with plenty of space to make them shorter, so no worries there. I do not have any problems with the straps being too wide and cutting into my skin. I think the straps being on more of the side than in the front help gather up my breasts and give them a more pleasant shape, instead of smooshing them - helps allow for the projection my breasts have. The cups have good immediate projection, which is great!
So, I complained about the band a bit, but even then, I'd wear this over my Freya Patsy, and the Cleo Juna is gonna go entirely. This is not my #1 bra, but its a good fit, and looks great on.
Here's my confession: I used the Ewa Michalak calculator, and ordered what it told me to. True story! And all 3 bras fit! I ordered 3 Ewa bras (PL Onyks, CH Onyks, and CHP Orchidea) at the same time, and they all fit nicely. I'm guessing I'll have my "regular" bra size of 30F, my Freya bra size of 30E, and my Ewa bra size of 70DD. I'm very happy with the bras from Ewa, and have no complaints, other than I didn't want to wait for them to make my bras. But they were making bras just for me. In Poland. That's worth waiting for!
Update: I've had this bra for 4 months, and while its not my favorite bra of the 3 (it's hard to beat the PL Onyks), its a great bra. The band was tight, and now it's perfect, still on the first set of hooks. The construction has held up beautifully, it's looks just as nice now. The material hasn't snagged or pilled or anything. High quality, and so pretty. Haven't touched my poor Freya Patsy in months, it's got to be sold ... Read more 515 more words
Me: very soft tissue; Measurements: UB 68/72 cm (26.5/28.5"), Bust 87/92 (34/36.5")
My first impression of this bra was that it was so simple but so well done. The fabric is unique with the subtle grey checkerboard over the dark purple background - it's a really interesting color combination. All the details are perfectly matched - even the fastenings and elastic are exactly the right purple and the grey bow matches the checks . The cup is lined in black with included pads.
Fit wise, this band is very comfortable but stretchy. I can fasten it on the tightest hook with room to spare. ... Because there isn't enough tension on the band, the cups also fit a little large. Note: I can get away with a larger band in the more "horizontal styles" like CHP or CH, but not in 3D so I am exchanging it for a 65E.
As always for this style, the profile looks so goofy until the cups soften up and become more round, but it looks great under a shirt.
Also of note: the straps. I like the thick covered straps because they are very comfortable BUT they are very short. Even though this bra is too big, I have them out quite a ways (and I am both short and short torsoed). If you have your straps lengthened close to the max in most Ewa bras, this one won't fit!

***** After further examination, I think the band is mostly standard to a little stretchy. After all, 76 cm does not seem out of line for a 70 band. I did a little remeasuring and my under bust seems to have shrunk by a cm or so so that's why it feels large. I've always been on the cusp of a 65/70 Ewa band so I will need to size down in this style.
Me: very soft tissue; Measurements: UB 68/72 cm (26.5/28.5"), Bust 87/92 (34/36.5")
At first I wasn't really sure about the 3D style for my breasts, but now that I've got my correct size, I really love this style. It gives a really lifted, centered, projected look. I actually have nice cleavage in this bra.
The band is snug in this style and I much prefer a 70 to a 65. The cups are smooth, brushed satin and there are included pads for asymmetry. It is saved from being a boring, basic black bra by the little details which make it sexy - black lace over nude mesh on the band and little bows and jewels. The straps are very stretchy but fully adjustable.
The shape looks really goofy at first! Pointy and hilarious. But after one day of wear, the cup moulds to your breast and the shape becomes round. It looks AMAZING under clothing.
I exchanged the 65E for the 70DD because the band was to tight in my first Burek. The bra in this size is similar to the previous one, except for some details:
- the band is looser, I would prefer it a little tighter, but the 65 band was absolutely unwearable. I have to fasten it at least on the second hook, - the cups have the same volume and width, but I noticed that they run a little bit higher on the sides in 70DD (I didn't measure the 65E before sending it back so I can't confirm for sure). - the straps are different, definitely more elegant and solid, - ...the underwires are more flexible, - the lace on the cups is not spread exactly in the same way but it doesn't affect the fit.
In this size I can finally appreciate how comfortable this bra is. It's by far the most comfortable bra I've ever had, I don't feel it on me after wearing it all day long. The band is made of a very solid but quite stretchy material, it must be the same as in Porcelanka (but I don't own it yet). For me it's the perfect nude colour. The underwires are quite flexible but very supportive, I don't feel them as they can adapt their form to the changement of my ribcage's shape or volume, they don't dig anywhere.

My breast shape is wide, shallow, (very?)close together, looks full on bottom without a bra but the top is very firm .
The band of the bra rides up during the day, and the center gore is a bit too wide (and cups too far appart) for me . I think theses issues can be solved by the size 30E, but I didn't want to pay more shipping cost and I chosed to alter the bra by myself.
Cups give a "round tear" shape, lifted, but not so much, and under clothes, my breast looks relatively natural but rounder and bigger (comparing to no bra). Wires are wide ...(they stretches with the band), and I think the cups are designed with the wires streched in mind, because they are absolutely not flattered. It is very very confortable, I totally forget the bra when I wear it.
The support wasn't very good because of the too loose band, but, after alteration, It became as stable as my other bras. The shape was better too (more lifting) (photos are without alterations).
It is my "sexyest" bra since I wear D+ bras. Because the cups are very open and low cut, a lot of skin (and breast) is visible, and I like that ! I have firm breast, half of my breast (maybe more) have to self support in this bra, so I think it is not a good bra for someone with soft breast.
edit : my size have changed, and now this bra is too big most of the time (bratabase photos were taken when the bra is too big, my blog post photo were taken when I had big enough breasts for the bra).
Klaudyna is so gorgeous! Sorry it didnt work for you :( it didnt for me either :/ This one's got a really weird and inconsistent band too! Almost all of the ladies I blog with got it. Some had crazy tight bands, some totally normal, and mine was super loose!
