It is very comfortable and as always with me the same size - 70FF.

Looks great and is comfortable, as all EM bras I own. Size is consistent as all my bras are the same size from EM.

I love how cleavagey I am in this bra.

The lacing on the bra does show under pretty much every shirt - which only sort of bothers me.

SO FREAKING PRETTY. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I wish it fit me. Too small in the cups and too tight in the band. Not enough immediate projection at the bottom and center.

Received in a swap, so band is not as firm as new.

Overall I like the fit of this bra, though I will be altering it to tighten the band a bit while evening out the band tension. Worn as is the band shifts a bit and the center gore digs in after a few hours as a result.

This 70FF - » Chp Summer Time (553) Ewa Michalak is one of the bras I ordered when doing my first direct order from Ewa Michalak. I had gotten several others from other users while determining my size. The first was a 65FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Famme Fatale (468). The fit on that one was great, but I filled it out so perfectly that I couldn't wear the inserts for extra oomph. I looked at several other models and decided that the 70FF should work, and it does. I have posted pictures both with and ... without the inserts to show the difference. I really do love the narrow wires, firm bands and nothing poking me! Most UK and US brands I have tried leave me with wire under my arms. And since I am close set and upfront this brand works very well for me! I will definitely order from them again!


***I had uploaded a side view with inserts and side view withOUT inserts and then front view with inserts and front view withOUT inserts but I think the moderators thought they were duplicates so they rejected one of each. So now the side view is withOUT inserts and the front view is with inserts. Sorry about that, it doesn't make it as easy to see the difference of using the inserts or not but maybe you get the idea.

This is my current favourite bra. Fits me in the same size as all EM bras I have. Compared to CHP femme fatale it sits better on me since it has taller cups - about 0,5 cm when I measure along the vertical seam.
Panties in size 38 for my 94 cm hips are perfect.

I have been trying to figure out my size in the Ewa Michalak brand. This is my 3rd purchase. The first was a 65FF CHP and it fit perfectly! So perfect in fact that I could not use the inserts for extra oomph or asymmetry. There just was no additional room. (I also bought a 70G CHP but it has been altered to fit like a 70 FF). So I made a guess based on the fit of the other ones and went up a band from the 65FF as the 70 was still plenty firm, and staying with the altered 70G cup which ... was also FF. I wasn't sure if this would make it too big in band and/or cup but seeing the difference in fit from the 65FF and altered 70G I figured that an actual 70FF should work. (Of course this also assumes that there is consistency with the Brand.) My guess turned out to be spot on! At least in this model. The band is plenty firm and I can wear it with or without the inserts depending on how much cleavage I want. In both cases the cups appear neither too big (without inserts) nor too small (with inserts). I plan to upload pictures both ways to show comparison. (Although, I have discovered that is it incredibly hard to take a picture of yourself in a bra! Ha ha). The print is just lovely and the material is nice and soft. I think I have found a good size for me in this brand. At least for the padded styles. From what I have read if I want to try unpadded styles I should go down 1 cup size. I hope this method will work for me as I have bought the 3 I have so far from other Bratabase users and am working up my courage to actually place a direct order.

I am not sure where we went wrong, but the 75FF I thought I was ordering turned into a 70FF (aka that's what they sent). So I'm a 70G if I bump up to 70, and this 70 fits perfectly at 29." The cups are (as expected when I saw the size) too small, but it's not so bad. It gives me super cakes on a plate boobs though. I want to say it *just* fits, but if I sit down and slouch at all, there's a lot of quadding. I can easily maneuver the boobs to fit, especially when standing, but I could definitely use one cup size up.

Since it's from Poland though, I'm not willing to do an exchange since I'd probably not see it again for another 2 months. Since it's so darn pretty and I love it, I'll keep it. My husband will definitely enjoy this one!

The band on this bra feels surprisingly loose. I have the SM Trefl in 70F and the band is much, much firmer. But the band on the Trapez is just a single layer of very thin, stretchy material, so it doesn't feel anywhere near as snug.

The cups are also too big for me, which could be contributing to my thinking the band is loose. My larger breast fills the cup close to perfectly with the removable pad inserted; my smaller breast gapes horribly. I think I need a full cup size down. Which is confusing, because the 70F in the SM cut feels like it may be ... too small for me.

A wondrously narrow gore -- it's high enough to provide some traction for the cups, but narrow enough to actually tack without mashing breast tissue. I really wish I could find my best size/cut in EM bras because no other brand I'm aware of has such narrow gores. I'm beginning to think her bras just don't suit my shape, however.

It's a very pretty bra, I love the purple and grey, and the lack of overly femme details is a refreshing change. (Cute as I find all the little bows etc, does every bra ever really need bows on them? Seriously?)

First try with an EM and very pleased. Center gore is a bit high for my bust separation but not a real issue. Pretty design, thick band

In between the time I ordered this and the time it got here, I sized out of it :/ It's beautiful, and it's comfortable, and I love it, but unfortunately I need a cup up and a band down.

This bra has the best gore for my breasts of any I've tried yet, but it's still not quite low enough. I would be happiest with a gore around a half-inch lower (length isn't a problem, it would just have to extend below the bra, not up). The cup separation is good, but again, a smaller separation would be even better.

The band stretched since I got it (new with tags, had been tried on but no more). I needed an extender the first time, but since then it's too long. I can fit two hands comfortably inside the band to hook it, which was definitely not the case ... before.

The cups fit and feel and look amazing. I love the lace, and I love the flowers https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The straps are wide and they feel good against my skin. I had to extend them to the longest reach, but they fit just right.

I love love love that the cups are lined in cotton. It's so much more comfortable than any other bra I've tried, even after wearing it all day in the heat and humidity.

I might need a 65G or something like that next time, though.

This is a bright, fun CHP bra perfect for spring/summer. The fit is standard CHP. The material is silky, printed with white flowers on a red background. There is thin red lace running on the top edge of the cups. The seams on the cups are not the zigzag kind, so they don't show as much under clothes. The cups have thinner padding in them which will be nice for warmer days. The bra comes with removable inserts. The band was surprisingly tight and there was something scratchy by the back hooks that bugged me all day. I don't know if mine was just a fluke, so I'll be interested to see if other sizes have tighter bands.

This bra has tighter band than my other EM styles, yet is still very comfortable. Initially I was afraid to trie PL as I thought my soft breasts would fall out to the middle, but no such thing happens. It lifts the bust up and forward and stays in place. The wires end before the wire channel, so there is empty space there on the sides under arms - about 2 cm.
Matching panties are lovely, hips 94 cm and size 38 is great.

Fits me the same size as all EM bras I have. Very comfortable and beautiful. The 70 band is good for my 70 cm under bust.
I expected it to be a little lighter color/more white than it is. The flash probably makes it look more contrasted. It is more beige all over in my eyes.

Surprisingly for an unpadded bra, the HM Classic gives a great rounded, lifted, and centered shape. The fabric feels itchy to me, though, and the embroidery looks bumpy under thin tops.

Yay! My third try with this bra and I finally got it right! This one is exactly the same in appearance as my previous 70E and F except for the straps are different. They are wider than the ones on the 70F and are of a different material. I'm not a fan of them.

After trying this bra in 3 different sizes and two other CHP bras in 70F and 70FF, I am convinced this bra fits slightly small. I mentioned it in my other review as well. Measurement wise, it is consistent with others of the same size. It just feels smaller when wearing it. I have the same issue with last year's S Ptys bra. That bra measures just like my other 65Gs in the S style but it felt smaller. I think it could be due to the different fabrics used and the amount of stitching on the cups.

But all in all, I am happy with this bra and it is a great one to have in my EM collection.

I was so looking forward to this bra and I'm a little disappointed now that I have it.
First the bad:
The cups have a zigzag stitching pattern that is quite noticeable under my shirts. I don't know if it will eventually soften up with wear. The CHP Gazeta has the same stitching pattern but it is much less noticeable.

The straps really bug me. They're incredibly wide and thick, and just look cheap. They're also only partly adjustable. This is a problem for me with my short torso.

The good:
The color of the bra is lovely and the material is a very soft, smooth satiny fabric. The flowers and embroidery along the cups give the bra a simple, yet classic look.

The fit seems comparable to other CHPs. If it weren't for the awful straps this would be one of my favorite bras.
