I find the wires on the SM cut are too wide for me, and the straps are too far apart. Otherwise, the band is a standard EM 34, somewhere between a 32 and 34, and the shape it provides it as described -- to the center of the chest with a slight point. Beautiful, but the SM and I don't get along.
Love the look and shape this gives, but there is absolutely no stretch to this band. When I wear it with an extender, the shape it provides is super round and lifted -- surprisingly so for an unpadded bra. I also think I would do better in one cup smaller. This fits my larger boob well, and wrinkles a bit on the smaller. With the stretchy lace, I think a smaller size could accommodate just fine. I also found the wires super narrow, which I didn't expect. Love this, but would like to try it in an 80G.
First experience with an EM SM bra. While I do like the shape it provides, I just couldn't get comfortable in this bra. The straps were too far apart, and the wires are too wide. I couldn't fill out the cups on the bottom because of the wider wires, and I found myself adjusting the bra to fit comfortably all day. Overall, this just isn't the model for me.
Just received and worn only couple hours but find it very comfortable. Will write an update later on. So after owning this bra for couple months i found i haven't worn it that often due getting scuffed by lace on bottom of band, especially in centre. Material of cups (only outer part as they have cotton type lining) and straps remind more of swimwear fabric. Side wing height of bra feels lower (haven't checked if there really is considerable difference with other my bras) which makes me feel it will create sideboob when it actually does not do it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Over all, sadly, it is not my favourite bra.
comfortable centre gore for close set breasts. top part of cups ever cuts in and cup shape allows light breast volume increase during certain time of month without causing overspill/quadraboob on top, top of breasts (soft tissue) is always nice and rounded leaving perky breast look https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Wearing almost daily for 4-6months and only moved by couple hooks as band stretched.
Very pretty bra. I'm normally a 32h/32HH in Panache Cleo bras and this fit nearly perfectly. Its very comfortable on, but unfortunately I am too tall for the bra and the shoulder straps dig in.
Please bear in mind my measurements were different at the time I bought this bra. I found that it ran about half a cup size too big, but the band was perfect. It's a very nice bra and gives a good projected shape, but it was just too big in the cup for me.
This is a great bra. I love the color and the cotton interior, very comfortable. I also like the addition of the removable pads, because I do have some asymmetry. I put both of them on the same side, and it definitely evens everything up.
Just received from another member and love it! It is very tight in the band, but I am betting it will stretch within the 1st couple of wears as my other EM's have - and I do like 'em tighter than most people. It's a very practical light beige with flat seaming, lining to prevent temperature gauges, really good shape. Straps are hard to adjust, but the half-full person says that means they won't become loose. I was taking a chance on this size because EM sizing isn't consistent. I find this band true to size (a VERY firm 34) but smallish in the ...cup (I'm typically a G/GG). I usually love EM's narrower underwires but these are wider and the cup comes up too high on the outside; it digs in to the front of my arms - however, I am short so a taller/longer-torso'd girl would be fine. Also, breaking in a bit may fix some of this. I've worn it 3-4 times now and each time it's a little less irritating on the sides. I'm going to try to bend the outer edge of the underwire just a little, too. I wear a bra probably 23 hours a day, so my comfort rating is based on that. I realize most women don't do this, but I expect a bra to be comfy - literally - all day long. This one is good for about 9 hours right now. Read more 139 more words
Newest addition to my collection, I'm already loving it! Very firm 75 band, the cut is very similar to all other PLs. It does not come with push-up pads, it's my only regret! Other than that, the quality is amazing, and the lift and shape is perfect.
This band is a bit tighter than the CHP Milady and I am wearing it with an extender. It is not quite as good a fit for me, either, as it sometimes pokes a little in the armpits and requires adjustment. It is very beautiful, though, in a less showy way than the Milady. The blue flowers embroidered on the sides are subtle and pretty.
I've only worn it twice, so I don't have much to say about it yet.
I absolutely love the HP Nina. I feel like the cups for this bra are a bit higher cut than other bras in the HP style. For this reason, I feel perfectly secure in this bra.
This size is a tiny bit large for me in the band though. I have to wear it on the tightest hook from the beginning, but I just love how perfectly the cups fit for me and how comfortable it is. I wore this one all day at work and never once felt the need to readjust! I also love the perfect round shape I get in this bra.
I think I might ...just fill my bra wardrobe with HP Ninas! I found that the other HP bras I tried in the same size offered a bit less coverage which made me feel a bit more jiggly at the top. I might just need to go up a cup size in the other ones though.
-ETA- I guess after finding my proper size I am experiencing a bit of migration, so this bra no longer fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 79 more words
I have fallen in love with Ewa Michalak's bras! The HP style is just perfect for me. Perfectly supported and extremely comfortable. No weird poking, no sharp points, comfortable band, great support... My soft yet heavy breasts have never been so supported!
The band on this one is a tiny bit big for me since I have to clasp it on the tightest hook from the beginning, but I can still see myself getting tons of use from it.
This bra arrived when my size changed - it's too big in the band and in the cupshttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I love the design of it, HP can works wonders with soft breasts, I feel much more comfortable then in PL or CH style.
If you ever want to get rid of this bra. I will glady take it off your hands!
