I love this bikini (I got both pieces)! Zathiya got it in stock, but didn't have my normal 32J, so I sister sized to a 34HH. The band definitely runs a little snugger than the S cut bras due to the swim fabric so it works for me. Also for people wondering, despite the seaming/decorative trim it is still a 3 piece construction. I'm not sure that the decorative straps would work well with people who are functionally FOT. I'm full on top but also very short rooted and they pretty much hit right where I want them to.
Thanks for mentioning that decorative seaming! That explains why some smaller sizes looked like 4-part cups. Can't wait to see pics of how it fits! :)
You were right! The straps don't work for tall roots. I can't wear them and had to remove them from my EM cherry as well
Intested, I have KM-S (nursing) in J and JJ cups, the J is a 3 part and the JJ is a 4 part. I like the fit of the 4 part better I was hoping they were all 4 part.
I love this bra! It is beautiful, extremely soft, and does a great job of keeping everything front and center. The pictures I took don't really illustrate just how well this bra pulls everything up and out! I ordered this bra through Zathiya Lingerie just so I could start trying out EM's bras. Directly converting my size would give me a 70J, and unfortunately they didn't have anything in that size, so I went for the sister size of 75HH. As I expected, this bra was a bit big in the band for me. It's not horribly big but I can wear it on the last set of hooks ...right out of the bag (I almost considered keeping it because I could make it work I think, but then I remembered the price and figured I may as well get something that fits). The band is fairly stretchy though it seems to run a little bit small. The cups, which should be the same volume as I usually wear, also run a bit small. I might go up a cup size but its not horribly quadding so I may not (if anyone wants to give me their two cents on this, feel free!) However if you're functionally full on top, I would definitely go up a size! The straps are very wide set and I expected them to be an issue, but they aren't at all! They basically sit outside of my breast tissue and come up diagonally so that they sit very well on my shoulders. The wires are also very narrow, which is perfect for me. I think that this bra would be perfect (or almost perfect) if I had ordered it in the correct size. Read more 178 more words
Are you wearing the cookies in these pics or no? if yes, i'd try taking them out and see if that fixes the quad. if no, I'd think you could go up a cup size and wear the cookies and it'd fit perfect.
wild_muses I am wearing the cookies. I actually forgot about them, and remembered after posting this lol
kermitdafrog21 lol, its easy to forget since they come inside the bra. How is it without?

wild_muses Theres a teeeeeny bit of quadding but I think that going up a cup might be too big and you can't see through a thin shirt (not that I'd be wearing a thin shirt with this pattern)
I ordered this bra in the bigger banded sister size based on a note added to EM's website saying it ran tight in the band. Perhaps this is only true if ordering as the standard S style (this was a custom order - CHP style) because this band fit like I would expect a 75(34) - the band stretched to about 35", and is definitely too big on me. I'll be re-ordering this (again, as CHP) in 70J. *update* Just got this in as a 70J, and the 70J fits perfectly! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Pics/review to come...
Other than that, the bra is absolutely beautiful! As expected from any Ewa Michalak bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I've heard a lot of people talk about inconsistency with sizing from EM, but so far, all of the ones I've ordered have been spot-on! (with the only variances being "standard" ones - ie. PL's fitting tighter in the band/smaller in the cup).
This bra fits in the same size that all the other Ewa M SMs fit. My ribcage measures 33 inches and this is comfortable on the loosest setting. I think the nude sheer is super sexy! I love the subtle black trim next to the nude. If I hadn't found the SM Nana shortly after buying this one there's no way I would let go of it. My bra collection is a little out of control though and constantly growing! The matching size 44 Thong fit true to most other Ewa M 44, perfect for my US size 10/12 hips. They are a bit higher cut though with doesn't look great on my body shape though.
So I took a gamble and ordered this as a 70 band was not available. Holy hell of a sexy bra!!! My hubby is going to love it. I thought it would be a cup size too large but it fits!!! I was leery about ordering a non padded bra but ordered this fir bedroom attire. I had tried another SM in a 70J with no success. It was too large in the cup but this is perfect! It gives a great rounded, projected profile. The mesh material is the perfect nude color. Maybe the mesh helps with holding the girls up as the previous SM I tried was a soft lace? I've only tried it on so I may update my review once I've had a chance to wear it.
TThis shape is much more compatible with my boobs than the PL's are. Though it is too small for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think the band runs a bit loose. This gives the nice, uplifted, narrow shape and firm support as the CH's. The bra is way more beautiful in real life - I hadn't seen the sheer lace at the wing on the site, so it was a nice surprise. The lace is slightly more orange than the cup, and it all looks very nice. The inside of the cups are pink, and the outside is soft shiny peach colored. I had thought I could use this as a 'nude-ish' bra (for opaque white tops and not completely opaque colored shirts), but it really is too bright for that (for my skin tone at least, which tends to have golden undertones, rather than pink)
The PL style from Ewa Michalak seems to give me quite a "boobs on a table" look. However, under clothing this isn't quite as noticeable. It also gives the amazing round shape that I have come to appreciate from all Ewa's bras.
This bra also has the sturdy/tight band common for the PL style. I'd say I prefer 75 band in the plunge style, while in other Ewa styles I like the 70 better.
I love the color of this bra as well! A dark, sexy fuschia with black accents and fully adjustable straps.
I used to think my boobs would never work in a plunge, but actually ...this one works very well. Not a hint of quadraboob and my breasts stay in place all day. I can bend over, lean, etc. and there is no movement out of the bra. Yay! The only thing that bugs me a little is the bottom of the band at the middle gore. It digs in a bit and causes some minor discomfort. However, I am still getting used to a tighter band after wearing a too big a band for many years, so that will probably fade.
Thanks mrsfu for the transfer!! Read more 91 more words
Fits TTS in cup and band (compared to other Ewa SM bras.). The lace is very thin and still very supportive, I was a little nervous this one would be too flimsy on me (I still remember the unmitigated disaster that was the SM Frappe), but it's really great.
I love the color, it's like a big bowl of raspberry sorbet.
I ordered this bra on sale - I had a feeling it was going to be too big, but I figured what the heck, sometimes black bands run extra tight.
Sadly, it's too big, both in band, and I am thinking also in cup. Oddly, the straps are VERY short. I'm tallish and low set, and so I frequently have to let out my straps pretty far, but I had to lengthen these the entire way. I'm a little nervous that if I go down a cup size, straps won't be long enough (which is something I've never come across in Ewa before).
I am getting a little pointy of a shape - I think a cup size down would fix this. I typically wear a 75HH in SM bras, and the SF is obviously much more of a roomy cut. I'd really like to reorder this in a smaller size. I love the cat charm, it's so freaking adorable.
Gorgeous bra. The gore is tall enough (big deal for me) but the cups are too big. I love the look and feel and quality. I will look for the same bra in 75H or similar. I might even take this to an alterations tailor because it seems like a simple change would make this bra fit PERFECTLY for me. Love the bra my breasts look in this design. Definitely will get another one or alter this one.
S cuts never fit properly, but they're reasonably comfortable, and I like the look enough that I don't care. Best fit I've had from a padded bra, at any rate.
I've had this bra in three different sizes now; one pre-pregnancy, one during, and one after. I've heard about strap placement being an issue on EMs before in larger cup sizes due to grading issues, but hadn't ever experienced it because I've never really been in the true G+ range. After a while the straps on this do start to chafe where they meet the cups and fall off my shoulders a bit. Otherwise this is a great bra, perhaps a little too open at the very top edge for me, but I often have to put up with that with a lot of lower fullness because I need to get enough depth there.
My first EM's SM style bra!!! The fit, great! The material, wonderful! Very silky, smooth but supportive. I was doubt about sheer bras but am sure now. It's unbelievably sturdy and comfortable as well. However, the bright neon pink color of the bra doesn't match well with my yellowish beige skin color. What a shame https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think I need to sell or swap it.
ㄴyes, that's the model. But when I added it there was no link for this bra :(
Thanks BumbleBean! :) I just added the model and adjusted this bra. Twoflower when you add new bras and can't find the model there's an option right under the list to select models that says "Can't find it? Add it!" which will guide you to add the new model ;)
Thanks for mentioning that decorative seaming! That explains why some smaller sizes looked like 4-part cups. Can't wait to see pics of how it fits! :)
