This bra is very comfortable, the band is too big for me which was not entirely unexpected since it was used and a size up from what I normally buy.

A beautiful balconnet bra with firm opaque lower cups and an upper panel of stretch lace. The other BM cuts I own (the Perla and the Migdaly) both have an upper panel consisting of a single layer of stretch lace. The Aqua, however, has a double panel: a lower layer of plain elastic netting overlaid with a layer of stretch lace. It does therefore offer a little more encapsulation than the Perla or Migdaly -- but it's an incredibly stretchy lace and those looking for a very firm, held-in feeling may not find it sufficient.

The BM cut runs wider than the SM cut. Those who found the SM/S ... wires too narrow might therefore have more luck with the BM.

The stretch lace upper panel is very forgiving; incredibly so; and I'm not sure if it's because of this but the cups seem much roomier than the SM cut. At least half a cup size roomier, if not a full cup size. While this one fits me fine without being high-coverage, I also feel like I'd like to try a cup size down in this one, there's so much potential extra space that the stretch lace panel would afford me. Sadly, I can't personally test this theory as the BM cut isn't made in a 70E.

Gore is a little higher than on my SM bras. It is very narrow, if not quite enough so for me.

*Edited to add: after a few washes and wears, the stiffness of the fabric has faded and the cups are now better moulded to me, but I'm still of the mindset that I could wear this bra in a 70E, a full cupsize down from my SM/CHP size.

Cynamon is the perfect descriptor for this bra's colour. Would be a good true nude for those who find the normal beige "nude" just one shade too pale.

The band on this one runs quite tight. I normally wear my 70-band EM bras with one extra set of hooks; this one wants two extra sets of hooks. So those who are at the outer limit of a band's stretch might want to size up in the band on this one.

Cups run true to (EM/UK) size. The upper edge of this bra is the snuggest/firmest of all my SM cuts. The Margot, Motylowate and Trefl all have quite open ... and forgiving upper edges which would allow for some variation in upper fullness; in fact, they prefer more upper fullness than lesser, I think. The Cynamon, however, has a ribbon of lace along its upper edge which makes the top of the cup more closed and snug than other SMs I've tried. Those with a lot of upper/inner fullness, or very firm tissue, might therefore find the bra a little too closed for them along the upper edge?

Fully adjustable straps. Only 2 hooks on the band, but they're widely-spaced and the band itself is quite broad, so it's very comfortable and not a back-slicer.

The Margot is the bra that made me realise the world of DD+ cups was So Much Better than the matrix and its sea of foam cups I'd been hating, but thinking I was trapped in, for years.

The bra is just as, if not more beautiful than, its promotional photos promise. The mesh is incredibly sheer, the embroidery delicate but cannily placed to provide a slightly anchoring top edge and also hide any peekaboo nipples. (Seriously. It's amazing.) I'm not a fan of bows on bras in general, simply because they're everywhere, but there's something about the boldness of the oversized burgundy bow on this one's gore ... that appeals to me.

In this size range the cups have only a single vertical seam. Fully adjustable straps. I'd read that the band on the Margot runs extremely firm, but in fact I find it one of the loosest/stretchiest of my EM bras -- but I've also heard EM bands have been running increasingly firm/tight lately, so perhaps the Margot was simply the first of that trend. Four columns of hooks on the band -- hallelujah!

Low and narrow gore is wonderful news for those with close-set breasts, but may not be overly friendly to those with very soft tissue or loose skin.

Gives a very forward, lifted and rounded shape. I'm totally addicted.

Initial notes: cups run a little less deep than my other SM bras (Margot and Motylowate) - possibly to compensate for the lace edge being looser on the Trefl than on the embroidered bras. Makes the cups a little too shallow for me though.

This is one of the most beautiful, top quality bras I have ever tried on. Unfortunately, I DEFINITELY need to go up in the cup. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This is a gorgeous bra and it works well for my close set boobs. The only issue I had was the piece of fabric that connected the strap to the cup. I took that off and re-attached the strap directly to the bra. I think it gives better support and doesn't rub against my skin. Like all EM bras this one is right but with an extender it's fine.

This is my second try with the SM style. I love the darker beige color of this bra. The cups are made of a very sturdy lace that doesn't show through clothes. It doesn't stretch hardly at all, which causes slight quadding with my super soft tissue. The pearl jewel on the gore is very pretty. The band is slightly snug but not uncomfortable. Overall I am happy with Ewa's soft cup style and it makes we want to try the new BM style.

This was my first CHP bra. The wires come up farther in my armpits than the CH style does, so it digs in a little. I wish the straps were a little wider as they are slightly uncomfortable. The cups don't bring me as front and center as the S and CH styles do so I have a very slight east-west look, but it is hardly noticeable. The cups on this bra may run slightly big.

I totally thought this size would work, but I think this particular bra is just too open on top for me. The cup depth should work in theory but I quad out even on my smaller breast. I think the cup is just too low to contain my soft tissue. The wires are a hair too narrow as well.

This bra does not fit me (too large in the cup by 2 cups), so it is difficult to review on fit.

The band on this one runs quite snug - about a half-size small - so if you are on the upper end of the band size, I would go up. I would say this runs more like a 65F-FF in Ewa (or a Cleo 65FFish according to measurements).

This bra is quite pretty to me. It is not really beige or cream, but more of a light peachy color - shiny fabric but covered in lace so it is more elegant. The little bow and jewel between the breasts is understated and pretty. The straps are wide and stable. The lace on the cups does not show underneath shirts and the seams on the cups are very flat.

It comes with pockets and pads for asymmetry correction (not all S bras do), so that is a nice touch.

Yea, finally got an EM that fits, though it is a bit loose in the band, but I think that might be because I got it used. I like the shape and life that I get with EM bras. It does compress my boobs a bit. I think the CH would give me a shape I'd like more. That being said, it's a great bra, my only complaint is that the straps are very, very hard to adjust.

This is a pretty bra in a padded half-cup style. Two vertical seams on each cup provide nice support and good shape. There are four rows of fasteners on the band so it should last well as it stretches. I'm not overly fond of the padded-half cup for myself but there's nothing about this bra that doesn't fit me. The straps are unexpectedly stretchy.

I traded my @Ewa Michalak S Porcelanka in 65FF for this Sm Bezyk in 70F. I wanted to see the difference in fit before I actually order from Poland. I knew the bras were different but didn't realize HOW different until I got the Bezyk in the mail from the swap.

This is an unlined bra, whereas the Porcelanka is not. This is very pretty, almost dainty looking, but it is very supportive. I'm not sure how you'd describe the color...maybe champagne? It's not beige, it's not ivory, it's not ecru. What I have in this bra is gapping at the top...quite a ... bit of gapping, actually. For sure if I were to order this bra for myself I'd go down a cup size, though likely stay in the 70 band. The Porcelanka has much more solid cups (and the S shape as opposed to the Sm) and I think I'd stick with this cup size (the sister size to the 65FF I had).

Gore tacks, band fits, underwire sits flat and is comfortable. It doesn't go as far under my arms as some others I have (Cleo Lucy (5851) comes to mind immediately, only because I was wearing that one today) but my breast tissue is comfortably enclosed in the cups. There are four rows of two hooks, which I also like!

When I do order from Poland I will likely try this style in one cupsize down, but keep this size in the S Porcelanka.

This bra is truly awesome! After the *epic* failures of every half-cup bra I ever tried on, I was sure this bra wouldn't work, but I figured this lightly-padded half-cup bra was worth a shot. Boy, am I ever glad I tried it. Yet again, I see no reason to buy a bra of a different brand ever again (besides Cleo Lucy (5851) and identically constructed cousins, like Panache Sienna (4471)). This lingerie designer is a genius.
The only concern I have with this bra is that when its previous owner removed alterations to the band, it was left with a hole through both layers of fabric in the band and a popped seam on the left side. I've dabbed a little bit of fabric glue on it. I'll have to see how it does long term. But for a discontinued Ewa Michalak bra in my size in otherwise great condition for $23 USD, can't really complain.

I really love Ewa Michalak bras! Every one of them I've had fit me perfectly in 70G. This particular bra was originally a 70F but has been tailored to fit closer to a G. I have bottom heavy breasts with very wide roots that are partially under my arms. The Hp Kobalt gives them a wonderfully round, lifted shape under whatever I wear. It's smooth enough to wear under t-shirts. I really love the gorgeous blue color and light pattern that continues through the straps.

It's actually one of the most comfortable bras I own now. The underwires don't come up into my under arms, and the straps are perfect for my narrow shoulders.

Beautiful, very supportive strapless bra. Really holds the girls up, band stays up. A bit too tight on me, because it's the wrong size. Band on this one feels tighter than usual because of the silicone(??) on the bottom for adhesion.

Fit me beautifully when I first bought it, unfortunately I put on a bit of weight and it all went to my boobs! Beautiful shape and lift, I compare the lift of all my bras to Ewa's, and they all fall short. Because of the aforementioned weight gain, the cups are unfortunately not wide enough nor deep enough, so there is significant quad boob.

1. The most comfortable bras I ever wore are effuniaks, the perfect plunge with the low wires between the cups (perfect for "close together' boobs).
2. I hate the thin straps. They are digging in the arms and they can stretch out for kilometers. I the newer models they supposed to be wider and more comfortable.
3. It gives the perfect, round shape to my boobs.
4. Tight band, as always with effuniaks (good)https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
