When this bra came out, i thought the triangle of black lace looked weird on this bra, and I was not at all interested in it. I only bought it because I was buying the Why Not harness panties and wanted something to coordinate, and this was on sale in my size, so . . why not.
I was pleasantly surprised by this bra!
First of all, i understand now why the black lace looks out of place - they arent fully attached. They are attached along the bottom seam, and then there are straps from the top that you need to attach somewhere. I ...had my husband attach them on me, and he chose what he thought looked the best. I think it looks more symmetrical on me than on Ewa's models - maybe because i'm short? IDk. But definitely coordinates well in the back with the panty
The front of the bra has eyes at the bottom - the attached straps were able to connect nicely to the Why Not panty - ok, not hugely flattering on me, but my belly is definitely not my strong point.
Fit-wise, seems like a pretty standard SM - i admit I didnt take any pics myself, just cropped hubby's pics (hopefully enough)
The panties tho - yeah, I tried those on once by myself and i was glad - very complicated! Took me a while to figure out what went where! Hubby again helped me adjust the straps to look their best. We didnt play with the harness part so I cant say anything about that, but this outfit was a hit lol Read more 170 more words
Holy moly, this is such a gorgeous set! It looks incredible on you.
I don't get the lace triangle though. It seems like it should be fully attached
Wowza!
Is the part behind the lace open? Like keep the bra on but open flaps for nipple access?
It looks like the it’s a full bra under the triangle but I can’t quite tell.
You are rockin this set and it does look better on you that Ewa's site. :-)
Vava Voom. Lookin' smokin'!
No, the bra under the triangle is a full bra, no nipple exposure. You can kinda see the fabric where it's bunched up in the picture? Nice sheer tho - works well with my skin tone!
And thanks everyone! More than I usually show, but you need to see the full effect, right?
I got this bra on clearance from Zathiya. I had not owned an SM since I wore a 70J, but for a clearance price, I had to try.
It is much less open on top than my last SM, but it fits fairly well. The band was noticeably tighter than the older 32JJ Jasmine I had just been wearing, and the straps quite stretchy. Band and straps are really soft material! I havent shown hubby yet, but sheer is always a pretty nice look, I think!
It is basically a nude for me, but the satin strips can still be seen through a shirt. So not a great nude, really.
I was feeling crazy for considering ordering another 75KK FB, but seeing that this doesnt quite support my larger breast correctly (a little bulge out of the side, and folding at the bottom), I realize I am actually a 75KK in Ewas. Tho I cant still fit a few of my 32JJ panache. I feel like her sizing veers off here a bit from Panache.
I love the commentary with the underside photo. The sheer cups do show those details so much better!
You'd experience so much more lift if that pesky wire would fit. Darn. Love the sheer pink on you!
You mean if the wire was more straight-across? But the cups are also not deep enough or immediate enough.
It looks like you need more depth at the bottom--more fabric.
Why does the lack of depth at the bottom make the breasts fold up?
The breast tissue pushes the wire down as it searches for more space further up in the cup. My theory ;-)
my boob is being squished. I have really super long, hanging boobs, which are pretty much full all over when supported. I mean, they are really omega shaped - the root is smaller than the fullest part of the breast. Most bras arent designed for that, but my FB and my panache tangos have a lot more volume in the cup all around.
idk, all I know is, when a bra really supports the bottom of my breast, coming straight out from my torso, I find that just awesome - but most bras my boobs have to fold somewhat to fit in
Mine fold too. It’s partially the omega shape. My best bras are actually gathered at the bottom to allow more room at the wire.
FWIW, I found this bra to be more closed on top than other SMs in smaller sizes as well. I tried one on from another user here before ordering it from Ewa in my last order along with the Fluo. I chose to size up in it based on how hers fit me.
I currently have 2 75 J BMs that fit ok, a 75JJ SF that fits ok, a 75K S that fits ok and a 75KK S thats too big (mostly too tall), but the 75KK FB is my best fit.
So this 75K just seemed like a likely thing. but yeah, if it was very open and tall, it would've been too big - which is the thing w my 70KK - Ewa Michalak » S Rokoko
I had wanted this bra when it first came out because I loved the color and the lace. I wanted it even more in a BM. But at the time they came out, it wasnt enough of a need for me to buy it. So when, through a fb conversation, someone mentioned she had this for sale, I was excited! I've been outgrowing my bras https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />
It fits well (better than the new one-off S rokoko I got earlier this week, actually). the cups are a little big with pads in, mostly only on my smaller size, but really ...fit pretty well on the bigger side with pads in. I love the color and the lace. The bra is not in as good a shape as the seller indicated - she thought she hadnt even worn it, but I'll point out a few spots where thats clearly not the case.
Still, its in good shape and fits well and I love the color - and the bottom does not have excessive lace which I think the smaller size shown on the website had had. Typical S, lovely color.

I love this colour and it looks great on you! I have the same thing happen to the straps my PL Mojito, where the straps are sitting in my armpits and folds over on itself.
This looks really beautiful on you! Love the colour and lace too.
Oh - you can see straps dont go anywhere near my armpits. Different shape I guess?
thanks ladies
dbmamaz I think what Sovavosi was saying is the original owner may have had an armpit eating situation which caused the straps to fold like they are. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
No, I got that. I was saying thats why I'd never seen anything like that, my straps dont go near my armpits.
Because I've really never seen anything like that. But still, obviously not unworn or in like-new condition
Ah I get it.
Man I sometimes wish was built like you.
Gorgeous!! So glad it fits!!
cupandahalf you've helped me really 'get' that breast and bodies come in so many shapes! I really thought that w breasts this big, there wasnt much room for variety - and I was wrong!
The wonder of nature! Btw I love this bra so much. Best color ever.
So glad you were able to get a bra you've lusted after! I also appreciate the discussion about the straps kinking - I have that happen a LOT on my bras, but only on the right strap. My right breast is bigger and my right shoulder rolls forward somewhat. I just deal with it and constantly smooth it out throughout the day - bit of a nervous habit at this point.
First try with the SF bra for me. I really like the quality of the bra! The material is amazing, super soft and silky. The wires are super narrow!The straps are wide which is a plus. I expected it to be different, more like a padded bottom half and a flimsy top half but I got confused that it said it's a half padded bra on the website.
When I put it on for the first time, I was shocked because it fits so well! I mean no quadboob and also not obviously being too big in cup. Band also fitted just like it should. The wires are not ...too wide for once! The cups are really tall on this style but I think it's necessary to the boobs are fully supported despite the stretchy lace part. Also I do really like how deep the cups are and the space at the gore is just right (usually bras are too shallow there).
6 years in bra fitting thought me that bras can be mean and more than I few times I removed tags on a bra that fitted when trying on, only to find out it does not work when wearing it for a full day. So I decided to wear the bra for a few hours around the house. The more I walked around the more I felt the band riding up at the middle of my back where the straps meet the bra. I could not understand that because that band should fit me according to measurements. I felt the weight on my shoulders and straps were cutting in and leaving red marks. Then I decided to close it on second set of hooks and too loosen the straps a lot. It helped some but I removed the bra then.
Today I put the bra on quickly and made the straps as loose as possible. I still only can fit 2 fingers under them and not a full hand (I know this is done to check if a band is too big but I can apply this to straps too, they should not be too tight). I think it's super weird because it's almost like the straps don't adjust long enough. I can't remember ever having that issue with a bra? I wonder if I overcompensate something weird in the fit when loosing the straps so much? Or are these straps just really short? I need to compare to my other bras and edit here later. On the other side there wasn't more gaping in the cups when I loosened the straps so I did not overcompensate a too small cup by loosing the straps. I go on about this issue because I don't understand it. I wonder If I should try a 70K... Read more 357 more words
In my experience, sister sizing down from 70G to 65GG meant a snugger cup (it's about half a cup smaller than my 70G basically). Keep in mind EM sister sizing is whack. MamaPagan and Sovavosi could probably help when it comes to K+ cup. My 70G bands measure to about 80-83cm just for the record. Many disagree with me, but I think EM bands stretch out really fast when weighed down by the big bust. I wore a 32FF when I first tried her 70 band and it was loose within a week. When I got to 32G it was ridiculous, the support was lacking because of the band. Now I'm more a 30GG and the 65 bands sometimes still ride up (depending on the day heh).
I personally had to order adjusted straps--I have about 10cm added to them for extra 20pln (and those bras are non returnable just so you know). The standard ones were just too short for me and were giving me *severe* neck and shoulder pain.
Honestly, I think this is a really good first try for an Ewa Michalak bra! I went through about four-five sizes till I found what works for me. You seem to only need a slight adjustment.
If the straps aren't long enough, that can cause the band to ride up as well. With the straps off, does the band feel supportive?
You stated you wonder if you should try a 70K which would indicate sizing down in the cup as well asin the band. Do you think the cups are too large? If that is the case, it would also make the band feel looser and less supportive. I would suggest trying a 75JJ before trying the 70K if that is the case.
Another issue with the J+ cups is they automatically make the band longer. I don’t know if it’s the case across all band sizes but it is for 60 bands. If you tried a 70 there is no guarantee that it will actually only stretch to 32”.
Since you don't have a past history of problems with strap length, and since your measurements and the bra's measurements are consistent with the scenario of a band that is still too loose, I think you can probably be reasonably confident that the strap strain is due to lack of band support. I agree you can also size down 1 volume to given the slight but noticeable looseness of the upper cup and high coverage (when this is not designed to be anthing close to a full cup).
Everyone has good information here. I think that it’s a great looking bra and pretty good fit for the first try.
Thank you everyone for your comments :) I will have to take some time again with the bra … also try it on without the straps on and all. I noticed that the band stretches quickly, I can close it on a tighter setting already just wearing it few hours. Oh... I hope I can still return it... :S
To me, everything looks fine (shape wise) except the cups look too big, not giving you the compression you need, so your breasts are forcing the bra downward. I would try a 70K. Once the cup and the band is reduced, the gore should sit a little better and all that extra bagginess on the sides should dissipate.
SF is in no way lightly padded. I consider the fabric to be stabilized, which is what I refer the SF to (stabilized fabric). I'm not sure if translating it for Ewa was an issue for them or what.
If the straps are your biggest issue, I would also see if you could get a 70K and ask for the straps to be longer so that you can adjust them.
brasaremean what I noticed in comparison to other bra straps, the EM straps don't have much stretch in them. I was able to shorten my straps very much on my too big bravissimo bras and it was still "bearable". On this SF bra, I had to loose them and they still felt tight. I'm not sure if I need longer straps, I can still fit easily 2 fingers under my straps, I think my boob weight makes them cut in so badly.
I'm not sure if this is how a EM bra shoud fit without the straps on? In my experience (with UK brands) a band and cup construction should do more than that even with the straps off? I begin to think that my boobs are just too heavy for this bra construction.
The reason why I thougt about the 70K is that I think I am between the 2 band sizes and since the EM bands are know to stretch out really fast, I would wear the 70 band with an extender first to break it in and would get more wear out of the bra than on a 75 band that might stretch out very quickly. On the other side there is the problem with sister sizing and that 70K could run more than just 1 cup smaller than a 75K which could be too small again. I can close this 75 band on the tightest setting without any problems already.
Sovavosi My current underbust measurements are 29-31-33 Inch so I think I'm between a tts 32 and 34 band? So I would not mind a 32 band stretch to 33'' but a 34 band should not stretch to 36'' or it will be too big.
How much does that one stretch right now? I have had one 60K stretch to 27” and the rest are 29+”. If the 70 and 75 are like that I’d go with the smaller band size.
Alisa, I have sister sized from a 70JJ to a 65K to 60KK with the SF and with each drop down, the cup was larger not smaller. While I know others have experienced otherwise, from my experience, yes, sister sizing does not equal the same cup volume, but it is opposite of what your fear is. DerangedDragons19 and I have discussed the possibility of the reason being that Ewa does a smaller jump in cup volume between the single to double letters, but a larger jump between the double to the next single letter. So there’s a small volume increase between a J to JJ and between K to KK but a larger jump between JJ to K and KK to L. This is most likely why the sister sizing is off, as with every other sister size it would be the opposite single vs. double letter situation. There is also a consistent rouge bra situation occurring, meaning that we are regularly seeing bras that do not follow the normal rules, so some are taller, wider, more spacious, shallower, shorter, etc than they should be in cup, wire, and/or band. This does make it more difficult to figure out if the bra you are trying is a rouge or the standard. I can only say what I have experienced based on what I have tried personally. (74 Ewa bras in 60-70 bands and J-L cup range with 8 more in transit.) This by no means makes me an expert, but it does mean I’ve tried enough to know when I receive a rouge bra within that range.
Also, my experience has been that the band does not stretch out at all, but I may be an exception to the norm, as I have over 3 weeks worth of bras in rotation and my underbust measures for below a 26 band and I wear a 28 (60) so my bands don’t see that much band tension. That being said, Ewa does go in cycles of “tight” and “loose” bands, so how far the band will stretch varies depending on the current cycle. Since I started buying Ewa bras 2 years ago, I’ve seen TTS to runs large, back to TTS and then runs large again. While the type of material being used on the band is a factor in the band tension, there also are variants within the unstretched measurement so it’s not just a material variation occurring. (That being said, Ewa does use at least two different types of Power mesh to line the bands, as well as the lace lined versions.)
Looking at the photos you linked, my first impression is that this shows the cups are too large. Your band looks like it is supporting well, but the cups are not doing their part in the job. Ewa bras are supposed to give a more rounded mound look*, especially with pendulous breasts, so their design is intended to lift and project. When the cups are too big the cups will droop like you see with the straps off instead of lift and support in unison with the band. As a result, since the cups are not being filled as intended, it will not offer the wire resistance against the band, and result in the band feeling less supportive and looser than it really is (with the correct cup volume.) (*This of course doesn’t apply to those who don’t have Ewa’s targeted breast shape mind you.)
I still feel the 75JJ would be a better choice than a 70K, but you need to go with what you feel will work better for you both now and in the future. You know your body better than anyone, and only you know what the bra feels like on, so trust your body and trust your instincts.
i agree teh cups look too big. i have a 75JJ i was thinking of sending her but iir that band was loose on me, too, so i'm sort of hesitant. i also noticed I still have my 32JJ floris! Hesitant because international shipping charges and still hoping i'll lose weight here lol
alisa the slump you see is due to the combined effect of the cups being 1 size too large and the band also being a hair loose. That is also the reason your straps are carrying inappropriate amounts of weight. I would not be concerned about the structure of the bra being robust enough--there are bloggers with significantly heavier busts who get really good support in EMs, even ones which are lower-coverage than this, so don't worry! As saltyblackbroad said upthread you will find everything improves in fit when you have a little more tension around the torso/chest because that is how we get support from a bra. As you have consistently found all 34s to become too loose on you recently whenever you had worn a new bra a few times, I think going down to 70 makes sense. If you had breasts in the 32-34E-G range it would be a different story but with your ribcage size + the bust weight that your bras need to support, a firmer band is a reasonable choice.
I tried the bra on again today with my PMS boobs and it feels more supportive now I fill out the cups better.
alisa good! I think this shows that with the right sizing, the physics involved mean that the bra design will work as intended and will provide support.
dbmamaz On another adventure you told me you were quite busy so I don't want to stress you, but if you still have your 75JJ SF and want to part with it, I'm interested. At least if shipping does not cost an arm and a leg :S.
wendybien yes it makes a big difference in fit, the band does also feel less large than before. I still have the straps on the loosest setting but that's how they fit me the best.
Actually the bra is saving my day so far! My boobs are in full PMS mode. I tried to wear my too big 34K Luxe Heart, it's roomy in the cups but the band rides up and it gave me massive neck pain at the end of the day. Today I tried Panache Tango but I couldn't stand it for 1 minute, then I tried Ariza… It tried to kill me, because that bra is so shallow it's supportive but also caused pain in my chest and I had trouble breathing.
I need to wear a bra, or my neck kills me. I need a deep bra for my PMS boobs that does not compress too much, so I took out my SF again and … oh the comfort :) Now I consider keeping it as my comfy PMS bra…
Sovavosi I measured the band again, and it stretches to 85cm / 33.4 Inch right now. But keep in mind I only stretch the band carefully on a new bra for the measurements.
Everything went well until mid-afternoon the neck pain came back again with a vengeance. Support declined over the day. Oh my… I shouldn't have … but I have no better options :/ tomorrow I have a full day to go through, no decent bra… :( :( :(
i still have that FB - the band was a bit loose, but we can try it. I also still have a few 32JJ jasmines - ugg, i really want to go look and see what i have but i lost track today. send me a message?
I was having really great expectations for this bra. And I ended up completely dissapointed. The straps are set way too wide. They cut into my flesh, leaving bruised cuts and injuring skin https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I throwed it away into cavities of storage room. Real pity.
Like others have suggested, maybe you could try to move the straps in/add padding to the straps, Or find a tailor to do it? It looks like a really good fit otherwise and would be a shame to go to waste :/ good luck
So this bra just arrived and its super cute. The bra is about TTS in both the cups and the band. My single biggest issue with the bra is that the decorative straps are non-removable. They are in the BM Bibi Black bra, as well as with the St. Tropez bikini top, so I assumed that they would be for this bra as well. They come up pretty high on me which limits the wearability if I don't want them to be visible (and the wearability is also already limited by the fact that there are ruffles at the top.
I do think she should note if the straps are removable or not as she has several both ways . I love my type wiess I am sure I spelled wrong but would wear it more if more if it had removable straps
BM Bibi Bianka has a 4 part balcony cut with the upper section being made of stretch lace. The straps are fully adjustable and it fastens with 4 rows of 3 columns of hooks.
The bra is quite pretty with the pearlescent white material and the small pearly pendant on the gore. Aesthetically, I don't think it's quite as nice as some of EM's other designs, but it's still up there compared to bras overall.
I've also tried the BM Szarotka, and I would say that compared to it, the stretch lace is thicker, but not quite as firm. My breasts are somewhat firm, but if you were softer ...on top, this may affect the fit.
I'm definitely a fan of the BM cut, and think it's a good option for people who want a lower gore, narrow wires, and have some upper fullness in their breasts in this size range.
This is a bra which Bratabase has marked as fitting for me, which is certainly no mean feat! The wires are suitably narrow, although they could be a smidge narrower, the cups are comfortably deep, and the band is comfortably snug on the tightest set of hooks, and I'd say this means it's quite a firm band, as my preferred stretched length is around 70cm.
I'd like to add a few caveats to this which aren't indicated by the fit criterion we use on the site. The cup is too tall, which is basically normal for me with my short rooted breasts, so there's empty space in the upper part of the cup, and the fabric comes up too high at the sides and so it rubs my armpits. Still, I could wear the bra as-is without any major issues.
Edit: After wearing the bra for some time, I can add some additional impressions to my review. I reduced the height of the cups slightly, and I also had to take the band in as despite initially being firm, the band quickly stretched out. It is to some extent a confusing bra, as I can't quite decide whether the bra is too small (I bulge a little in the centre), or too large in the cup (my breasts seem to sit a bit low and away from my chest). I also have a minor issue with the fact that the gore tacks in this bra, as my breasts are close-set to the point of touching so it lies on breast tissue. My biggest problem though is with the straps on this bra, which are woefully inadequate for the weight of my breasts, even with a firm band. They're not reinforced enough, and so they buckle and fold inwards, even when worn as loose as they can go. I have very high-set breasts and will often need to tighten straps most of the way, so this is clearly some sort of material issue. Aside from the straps, the bra is still comfortable and flattering to wear, and I should really just go and replace the bra straps with another pair out of my stash. Read more 402 more words
This is the first 'soft' cup bra I've bought from Ewa and I'm very impressed with its comfort and support. It gives me really good support for my 34K (Ewa size) breasts. It doesn't poke and the gore actually tacks - the first bra to do so other than Bravissimo's own lingerie. I've got very close set boobs, so I'm very happy that the gore tacks. The gore does come down lower than I thought it would, but it doesn't bother me as my boobs are separated and stay where they should in the cups. The only minor thing is the wide setting of the straps as I'd rather have them in by about a centimeter so they don't sit close to the edge of my shoulders.
This is pretty good! Overall, I'll say perfect fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> I am very satisfied with the shape it gives me, and I feel very secure and supported. As I've done before, I took both the pads it came with, and put in my smaller side, and that is just about the perfect amount to make my boobs identical https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The bra itself is so, so pretty https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> I am glad I got it in the cappuccino version, because it looks very low-cut and sexy under a not-so-opaque shirt, because it looks ...like the cappuccino color is my skin, so only the lace is covering me. It is super smooth an luxerious-feeling. So I really love this bra already https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The straps would be difficult to make fully adjustable. I have not tried forcing the decoration through, though it may well be possible, but since I don't need it, I don't want to potentially damage anything. The band is less firm than some other Ewa bras I've tried, and I prefer it to be stretchy! The straps however are non-stretchy, and I think you can see on my pic why I prefer them more elastic: They can be adjusted nice and comfortable, but the firm-ness means they don't move with me, so if I lift my shoulder (to take a picture, for example) they dig in.
If we are to go into detail, fit wise:
There are slight signs that it is not completely compatible with my shape (which I knew from owning disastrous 34JJ's) -I would definitely NOT have it even a bit narrower! In fact, I'd prefer it to be maybe up to ½" wider at the bottom of my breast, where the root is widest. -It could never be even a hair more shallow at the bottom: A common problem for me, and what made the JJ's unwearable. I do get just the slightest orange-in-glass in this, but it's the least I've had in a padded bra, ever, so it's good! But, if it was more, I'd risk it folding in the empty space, which is what can literally ruin a good bra. I still have to watch this, make sure to dry it when stretched out etc. -The center-gore is flat, but not very insistingly :b There is no visible space between me and the gore, but I don't feel it touching me, so it could be 'flatter', but it's good as it is. ^These are things that could make you think I could size up. But: -I could not have more space at the top. There is ever so slight gaping - when standing straight, I can see a glimpse of the inside of the bra. If I roll my shoulders forward just a tiny bit, I can see a lot. So, good as it is, but not bigger. -There appears to be a quite small arm-hole. This is often the case of a too big cup with tightened straps (which may be true), but I can't size down due to reasons already listed. -It appears to be more full coverage: Larger sizes often tend to be made to be more full coverage, and when added that most of my volume is in the bottom of the cup, there simply isn't all that much to stick up of the cup. Also, this is comfortable on the inner-most hook from new, it could even be tighter and still comfortable, so I think next time I'll get 32KK instead. I think this may also fix some problems, because it will 'hold on' to what I scoop in: When I scoop, it isn't too narrow, and it isn't slightly gaping, but because it is a bit loose, the scooped slides out a little bit.
^All these are details, even though it turned out quite long :b It really is a great bra for me! Read more 555 more words
For some reason I thought this would be a little less full coverage than it is. It's still a very pretty bra and I like the red color. This is my first unpadded bra from Ewa Michalak .
I ordered this in a 75K because I have found that in the S cut a 75K fit pretty well. The SM is supposed to be the unpadded version of the S, so I thought it would be okay. It is a smidge too big (though I had just nursed shortly before trying it on so perhaps it'll fit better under normal circumstances). In the Pl style I have ...found that a 75JJ fit best.
The wires are lovely and narrow, just like the S and Pl cuts. The mesh material is quite comfortable and the lace on the upper part of the cups is stretchy and still soft. I feel like I am pretty well supported. The band fits a little firm, which I like since I normally wear a 32 band in UK bras. I found that the straps felt way, way too loose at first when I put this on. I had to tighten them almost the entire way to the front to get this to wear the straps didn't sag. There was a slight ruffle to the top edge of the cups where I can't quite fill it out. Edited to add: I tightened them completely and the bra fits now.
It is quite a full coverage bra, which is okay. I would prefer it to be a little lower, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I think it comes up a bit higher on my breasts than the S does. Read more 178 more words
It actually looks like this is a size too big to me too but if you want the extra space (also a nursing mom) and it doesn't bother you under clothing I don't think there's any reason not to keep bras like this one.
What I also meant to add was that if you went down a size in the future it should be less full coverage.
With some wear, it seems to be more cooperative. I fiddled with the straps and maybe there has been some tissue migration since I started wearing better bras. Anyway, it feels closer to a good fit now than when I first got it. It's very comfortable, I am starting to wish they had more colors available for the SM style.
I think it's only a year old, and she adds some every few months so I guess we'll get there :) I just hate that her stuff sells out after a few months too.
It may feel better to a closer fit because you got a little bit bigger too.
I just received an order this week actually and got a BM which I think might just be a better fit for me. I was not sure how different it would be since it looked fairly similar in design in the stock images but I think that for their unpadded bras I might go for another BM in the future. I also swapped to a 70K which fits quite well.
At first I loved this bra. And then the gore which is very low, started stabbing me in the chest by the end of day, leaving me sore. It has to to do with the height and the tilt of the underwire and the weight of my breasts. This bra isn't very uplifting or supportive (as in you will be on the jiggly side from the light, loose fabric - I would not even try a brief jog, ow) but does fit in just about every other way. In fact, on the supportive front, it gives me the feeling of being strapped in every other way, but my ...boobs sort of "swing" around, freely, without exactly leaving the cup. It's an odd sensation.
It's a very good bra for boobs that may change in size frequently due to that time of the month, weight gain or less, or nursing. But I'm probably vain so I like uplift and I never felt like I had a nice sleek uplifted silhouette in this bra. I felt a bit matronly. I still would have kept it but the digging is far too painful and I'm glad I waited a few wears before writing a review. I may try another BM bra in the future if the gore is higher, since EM's bras seem to very a lot even within the model range. Read more 122 more words
This bra looks really good on me and people with similar breasts. By that I mean it looks like it actually fits us in all respects. Not too wide of straps, the stretch lace forms itself around the breast nicely, just overall well designed. And it felt pretty good good. At first.
You can probably tell this isn't a bra for uplift and because of it's light silky material it isn't very firm or supportive. I also found my soft tissue slowly working it's way out and needing to be readjusted during the day. I spent so many years looking like a 90 year old in regards to breasts that uplift (in addition to comfort and ease of wearing) is my number one thing I look for in a bra. My personal standards on what gets to be in my closet being higher than they used to be, I decided to sell the bra to someone who could wear it better.
It's SOOOOO pretty!!! My first EM bra!! Woohoo! Finally a bra that does not immediately quadboob on me!! OK, so the band is too large. Fine, because I ordered this bra from the dropdown menu on purpose so I could exchange it for a non-returnable 70-band with correct cup. (this one is sister size of 70L) In a couple of minutes (when my pics get approved) I will put up a fit request to ask suggestions for the proper cup to order, as there are some things not quite perfect.
The center gore comes closer than any of my bras to my sternum, but still doesn't quite lay flat. It feels like ...the cups are just a tad too narrow, and I'm having some armpit boob especially when I move my arms to the front. The band is not very supportive, which I attribute to it being too large for me. OH! And it's got 4 (!) rows of eyes on the 3-hook band! An extra row is certainly nice and I hope the 70 bands have this too. The cups are a few cm deeper than my 32K CurvyKates that quadboob on me. But the cups are also narrower, which aligns with my feeling of the cups being just a tad too narrow on me.
This is my second ever padded bra (first one was early in my teens and horrible!), and I'm loving it already. So soft! And no nipple-poking, whoo! The lace is super pretty, the combo of black lace on beige base is very very nice. What I like very very much is that this bra will force me to walk properly upright and not slouch forward - for when I do, there's gaping at the top of the cups!! Gaping! Never ever had that before!

I'm beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with mine, as it is a 34LL and still not as deep! I've had it for a while though, so I can't really check anymore. I also found the band quite loose.
Might be the way I measured it - if I just turn it inside-out and measure the tape across it's 36cm depth. When I put it over my knee and put a little tension on it (like a boob would), it stretches to my noted 39cm. That may be it! I don't think the band is super loose - it fits pretty much like my other 34 bands, which is too large for me ;)
Oh, that might be it, then!
Yes, I think so. It just made more sense to me to measure the cup depth as it would be on a boob - stretched a bit ;)
This bra is so smooth, fits so nicely, and I'm in love with it. It's gorgeous, the swirls on the cups are easy to fall in love with and the sheer panel on the gore adds a bit of flare. EM bras always are so attractive and are the bras that big breasts are in need of.
The fit of it is just what I need. While the gore/wires press on my ribcage at the end of the day (12 hour shift), it is comfortable and it holds the weight of my breasts without weighing down on my ribcage.
Sister sized to 75K knowing I needed a 70KK or so. Finally realized why so many people say this brand runs tight in the band (that was rarely my experience in their sub-75 bands). Initially, the band fit like a 70KK on the tightest setting, but within 2 weeks of wear, I needed to shorten the band.
Not projected enough for me at the bottom of the cup, which I knew would be the case. This means that the band rarely stays where I put it. Partially due to this, I may need a 70L/75KK, which doesn't exist for this bra. I don't even think Ewa would make it for me custom.
Only tried this bra to check my size but clearly this one is super wonky haha.
First, the band is very tight.
Second, the cups are insanely tall and broad. Who could fill this bra out? I can fit two of my boobs into one cup it's so tall! I've never seen anything like this before it's so funny haha. So I can't really comment on fit or anything else.
Lovely satin fabric with soft stretchy tulle in the top part of the cup. honestly not a big fan of the look of this bra, it feels very grandma like. It feels great quality though.
I've previously tried this bra in 80JJ (Few months ago) and found it back then to be not projected enough. In 75K I do think it's projected enough but the band is too tight, so I'd have to wear an extender. The pictures are taken without an extender. But the rest of the review I'll base on using an extender with it.
The cups are a bit too tall for me but it's nothing that ...bothers me. I do get a slight wrinkle in the bottom of the cup but overall the cup fits relatively good. The wire width is nice and it feels pretty comfortable to wear (with extender). However because I've tried it in 80JJ before and didn't find it to be a good fit, I don't think this bra is for me, since if the sister size doesn't fit then what can ya do? I mostly ordered this one to see if I want to order 75K from Ewas website and I think I do, but not in this cut. I'm thinking SM or BM. Read more 103 more words
This bra looks 1-2 cup sizes too big for you. The shape you’re getting isn’t right for an Ewa bra, I think because the apex is too high, and it’s too wide set for you as well. The wrinkles at the bottom of the cup look like you aren’t filling the space because it’s too big as well. I think you are getting a parachute bra effect here: http://hugsforyourjugs.blogspot.com/2017/04/bra-science-16-signs-youre-wearing.html?m=1
Holy moly, this is such a gorgeous set! It looks incredible on you.
