The cup shape is slightly wrong for me. I am spilling out the top a bit.

I think I would do better in a 70G of this bra but it's a fairly good fit! The band on this 70FF is just a little tighter than on other 70FF Ewa bras I own. On second thought, this is the right size for me but the cup shape is slightly wrong for me.

I'm so in love with this bra. I wish it came in other colors. When I wore a 75GG, this bra was perfect for me. Now that I wear 70FF, it is still perfect for me. It supports me like no other bra I've ever tried on (hundreds, literally). My breasts are front and center where they belong. My soft tissue is comfortably contained on all sides and from all angles. I have tried many other Ewa bras, and this is always the one I come back to as my "everyday bra".

Very well constructed, as usual from EM. The wire height is okay, but the bra comes up too high in the armpit (I'm petite). Band is alright. It gathers the bust very front and center. The cups are borderline too big, but it really seems to be an issue of where the space is. I'm quite full in the center, so it felt unsupportive. It would be great for a low-cut cocktail dress, but not as an every-day bra for my shape.

I would say the Gore is a little too wide for me, since I have really close set roots. But I can live with it. The under wires are narrower per an Ewa bra. It came with different straps and removable cookies. It is a good shape for me and depending where in the month I am, the cookies are easily removable. I wear an extender with it, since it feels a little snug. But I am still trying to dial my size in. I removed the side wing boning for comfort issues. The quality is really good, accept 1 hook was not sewn in. Which was easily fixed by hand stitching. Overall it is one of my better fitting bras.

ORIGINAL REVIEW OCTOBER 2015: I've been struggling with quad-boob for so long that it's kind of refreshing to have the opposite problem: a bit of gapping at the top of the cup. I'm, I'm not full enough on top for this bra! That's never happened to me! It's a small gap, and I can fill it by inhaling, and the bra is otherwise comfortable and a good fit, so it's going right into the collection. The trend in my tissue migration has been to fill out even more on top/front, so if that continues, this bra will be a perfect fit.

The material is soft and jersey-like, with ... firm padding (including removable pads, which I'll be wearing on this one). The bra has nice, wide, removable straps, like the discontinued Chp models. It also comes with standard straps to swap in. The straps are removable on both sides, so the bra could be worn as a strapless or criss-crossed. I haven't tried it in those configurations.

Materials:
45% polyamide
30% polyester
20% cotton
5% elastne

REVISED REVIEW MAY 2017: Of all my Ewa Michalak S's, this is the one that has continued to fit the best as I grew in projection, probably because it was a little big to begin with.

I love this bra! It's so soft and a great everyday type of bra.
I always have a problem with too high of cups (can't really wear full coverage) especially where the cup hits the strap. This cup height is perfect; not too short not too tall.
I got this one from Levana which is a great store near me. The owner informed me that Ewa's beige or nude bras run tighter in the band which I found to be true with this one as well as four different nude/tan Ewa bras that I tried on in store. This one doesn't stretch much past 30 before it looks ... over stretched for the intended design. I like to keep those underwires narrow and cups deep! My underbust is shy of 29" loose for size reference.
The cups fit true to (Ewa's plunge) size if not a tad smaller than the other ones that I tried on in this size. Strap placement is great. I find her strap placement a tad too wide on some of her bras but this one was perfect! I think that the strap placement is better on me when the cups fit more snug. I have another Ewa (chp) where the cups are just a tad too big (have to use the cookies to fill it completely) and the straps bother my arm area. I have another Chp in the same size that fits without cookies and the strap placement is perfect.
As far as the color you can see the color and lace in a thin white shirt. I have fair skin so not really a skin tone match for me. You can't see the lace or bra lines in a thicker shirt.

I love this bra! I bought my first Ewa Michalak bra (@S Colette) about a month ago and already hooked. These are the most comfortable bras I've ever worn. I feel lucky to live near Levana Bratique and was able to go try on 20 different Ewa models in my size this weekend and loved the fit of this one. It was so hard to choose since most of them fit!
The Noir is just high enough without bothering my underarm area while completely containing all breast tissue. High cups and wide set straps bother me but for some reason Ewa's S and CHP models (only have 4 so ... far) bother me for the first day only then somehow I settle into them perfectly thereafter.
My underbust is 28-29 but find this fit best in the 70. It only stretches to 30 or so before it starts to have some wire distortion so I don't want to max out the stretch of a 65. The 65 I have in another Ewa model only stretches to 28-29 inches before distortion so 70 has been my go to size for her padded styles so far. This band is firm and I don't foresee it stretching quickly. I love these four hook options on her bands!
I would say this is a pretty deep cup so if in between sizes I would go down to your smaller size. I'm new to Ewa so take that info with a grain of salt! For size reference a lot of my UK brands 30FFs are feeling too small for me lately but this fits perfectly. I fill it completely with or without the cookies. My other ewa 70ff I should probably go up a cup size but I wouldn't be able to in this one.
As a side note that gorgeous frilly top lies flat on me and I can't see it under thicker shirts.

Absolutely stunning bra. It runs like a 30 in the band though, and so I'm wearing it with an extender right now! In the cups it fits the same as other S cuts.

This is a very pretty and well put together bra. The cups and seams are very smooth under shirts. I find the cups of this bra to run quite a bit smaller than the cups of other S bras I've worn. The band is tighter than those of other S models as well.

I can't convey how much I love this bra... in my opinion it's one of the most beautiful designs ever produced by EM https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> After my 65FF Famme Fatale became too small, I was elated to find another in a cup volume up. The band is too big for me in this size, but I'll happily alter it down because the cups are absolutely perfect depth and shape wise.

This bra was an experiment, and I'm super bummed it didn't work out. My CHPS in 65FF quad the teeniest bit but based on an experience with an S style in 65G I was afraid the wires in a CHP 65G would be too long and stabby. I found this 70FF, one cup and band size up, cheap on reddit so I tried it out. However, the band, which I thought ran firmer, runs almost true to size. It is too big for me and the cups are too big too. It's gorgeous and still in great condition but sadly does not fit me. Full review on my blog (they looked fun so I finally started my own!).

I am always on the lookout for a practical but pretty beige everyday bra, and Marcepan is the best one I've found so far! I really appreciate that Ewa produces neutral bras in a variety of different tones. This one is pale with just a slight cool undertone; beneath sheer and light-colored shirts, it approximates a true nude on me a bit better than my 30G - Ewa Michalak » S Orzechowa Pralinka (711) (more tan) or my 30G - Ewa Michalak » Pl Triumf (710) (more yellow). The straps and the scalloped lace on top of the cups are a very pale ... creme color, as is the shiny ribbon that accents the band. Little pink bows finish the gore and strap attachments. The design is simple but very cute and feminine.

I wasn't expecting this bra to fit, as I usually fit a 65FF in CHP without the pads pretty perfectly. However, the cups on this are great, if a little higher in coverage than a 65FF, leading me to believe that this bra runs small in the cups. The shape is perfectly round as is typical of CHP. I purchased this bra used but it doesn't look to have been worn much at all, so the band is comfortable for the moment on the third of four sets of hooks. Eventually, I may have to take it in as it stretches. In all other respects, the bra is very soft and amazingly comfortable.

I love the look of this bra, it's a gorgeous indigo blue overlaid with very delicate black lace and finished with a large satin bow at the gore. Unfortunately, my poor lighting and grainy photographs don't do it justice! I purchased Fiolkowy Koktajl used along with my 70FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Marcepan (514) because I loved the design, even though I usually fit a 65FF in CHP without the pads. Expectedly, it's not perfect: I get some gaping on my smaller side, and the band fits on the fourth set of hooks, so I will eventually need to take it in. However, I am able to fill out the cups nicely with the pads in (I took pictures both with and without for comparison), and it's nice to have that option as I usually don't with my other Ewa halfcups. For that reason I'm going to hang on to it for now, as it's beautiful, gives a nice round shape, and is very comfortable https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I have been putting off buying ewa bras for the longest time. I didn't really have the money for them, and always had a bizarre second thought of "you don't deserve bras that fit that well, who do you think you are?!"

Well, judging from the fit of this bra alone, I might be the queen of the England, or the Moon. I'm kicking myself for not buying 2 of these, or 9. Probably should have got 9.

Anyway, I don't have much more to say about this bra than that it's perfect. The only thing I would change is the wire width, and even that is only off by about 1.2-1.5 cm. Perfect.

After my GREAT SUCCESS with the Famme Fatale, I ordered this and was slightly confused. Aside from the slight difference in gore wire overlap, these measure almost identically. In fact, there seems to be a slightly stiffer band, so you'd expect this to be the tighter bra. But it felt much looser at the time. I was wearing it with the pads and fastened on the second hooks--not tragic, but not perfect.

That said, my weight shifts like a roller coaster, especially my breast size (THANKS, endometriosis!), and right now this fits me like a glove.

Was it me or was it the bra? I don't know. But if the bra fits, wear the hell out of it.

Same size as all my EM bras. Very, very comfortable. I would prefer if the beige were a lighter shade to match my skintone. It is almost ok now when I have a tan, but I am rather fair skinned most of the year so it will be a tad dark to mimic skin-like appearence for me.

This Ewa Michalak S Pralinka is a beautiful nude beige high quality bra. Pictures don't do it justice. Center gore is perfect as is the band. It is simply too big on the cups for me. I would need an F or even E. I am sad it didn't fit as it definitly lives up to the quality and epicness Em are known for.

I only own two EM bras so far so can't compare much between styles or models yet but I do feel that the S style definitely gives a good lifted appearance. I think this is a pretty, fun bra. I have the matching underwear and they are adorable. Great details on the set that make it fun to wear. Fit is comfortable. I can't wear the pads in it or I get a funny shape so I'd say its slightly tight on me but I think a size up would be too big. The seams and lace trim would show through thin clothes of course but that is the trade off sometimes. This set has been discontinued.

When I first got this bra (my first EM), I was a little concerned because the band felt so snug! But after only a couple wears it fit perfectly. Because of the lace material and detailing on the bra, I can only wear it with shirts with thicker material, but it gives a great shape and OH MY the cleavage! Definitely my best cleavage shirt I have so far! It is beautiful and delicate.
