What did you learn from this bra? My right breast, while more protected, is smaller than my left breast. Also, I learned I love Ewa bras!
What's good about this bra? It is very stretchy, so it's forgiving if I gain or lose a little weight.
Does it poke, comfortable? At first, the gore wires were uncomfortable, but this was the first bra I purchased that was actually my size (previously crammed into a 34C or 38C, depending on what was clean). Did it stretch out? It does stretch easily, so over time it may stretch. Pros/Cons - very pretty and skin tone friendly, but the pattern does show through thin and/or white shirts. EM brand bras are about $50 each new, so they aren't too pricey. Tracked shipping to the US is costly.

Yes, I ordered 3 today with DHL... To add to my collection of 3i purchased second hand to "test". I'm definitely a 80ff, at least on the left. I think I'm an 80f+3/4 on the right lol
The needed size can vary by style, so you may require a different size for some of her other bras, just to forwarn you.

I love the colors and pattern on this bra!! I especially love the little strawberry charm in the middle! It's so fun and vibrant and unlike any of the other bras I own. I was thrilled that EM was able to make this in a PL cut for me. I've been really loving the PL lately because of the comfort of a lower gore. The band is on the stretchier side, but doesn't ride up or move around at all. This is definitely going to be one of my new favorites! I wish EM would release more fun, quirky bras like this one!
Thank you very much for this review. You look great, I love the bra and the way it holds you in is wonderful. I am a 38G in freya and a 38H in chantelle (38 is quite generously sized on me, I am actually 34" around but that is just way too tight for bras), so I'm confused about whether or not I should go up like you did. How did you know you needed a 36FF in the Ewa Michalak bras? I would love to order from there, but I don't want to have the hassle of sending it back either, especially when it takes 30 days to get. Thanks for any advice you might have to offer. Sincerely, Deb
dfs85302 Thank you ! If you are 34" around, then you might want to take the 36 in this bra, since you wear your band looser. I measure 35" around. After I read Curvy Wordy's review of the bra, I decided that I would go up a band size. A lot of EM's bands run smaller than what I am used to, so I knew that whenever I decided to place my first order, I would likely go up to the 36 band. It actually didn't take that long to reach me! It took 12 days or so? I live in the US :)
I love this bra. The pink color is beautiful — a dusty, dark pink so it’s feminine without feeling like the fabric belongs on a 6 year-old’s Easter dress. The lace is really pretty and very soft, not at all itchy. This bra creates a natural shape while keeping the breast tissue out in front of the body for a flattering silhouette. It’s supportive without being stiff. The bottom half of the cups doesn’t stretch, but it’s still soft and lightweight. The top panel has the perfect about of stretch, and it hits in a good spot so that everything stays secure when leaning, reaching, or otherwise moving ...around.
This is my second Ewa Michalak bra. The first is my 75FF - Ewa Michalak » Sf Garden. I love that one, but I felt like I could go just a little bit bigger all around (especially after realizing my 75FF SF isn’t the best bra for me during my period), so I got this one in 80FF. It fits well. The gore tacks, there are no cup gaps or quadboob, and the straps don’t dig. The band could be a little tighter, but it’s not riding up (and there are 4 sets of closures so I’m not worried about it getting too loose). Definitely size up once in the band and/or cup from your normal size, depending on your preferences.
This is a really great bra if you have a narrow, projected shape and soft tissue. I will probably acquire more Ewa BM bras in the future. Read more 153 more words
This looks lovely on you! Puder is one of my favorites. I love the BM cut and now I’m obsessed and have many of them. So glad you found a winner you love.
Thank you, Happy2BraShop! This may be the beginning of a new obsession.
This style is my best fitting bra hands down. I do find I have to sister size up in BMs from SF and PL, the bands are more snug. Its so pretty!
I think the hue of this bra is so pretty! It looks good on your skin tone, and you get a great shape too! Glad the new size worked out for you.
This bra is gorgeous! I love the black lace on top of the nude bra. In that way it's similar to probably the cappuccino plunge bra. But this one has a corset detail on the sides and at the gore. Because of the detail on the gore though it's a little bit taller and wider in that area and doesn't suit me as well. Which is sad because it's such a lovely and sexy style. Other than the gore, I would say that this bra fits pretty standard to my other Ewa Michalak S bras.
Absolutely adore this bra, and I am a huge fan of the CHP cut. Unfortunately, this one is too shallow in the cups for me. I love the print, colors, the lace at the wings. I have ordered this in my size, so this one doesn't hurt quite so bad to have to let go lol
Wow that is one gorgeous bra! I hope the next size you try works out better fitwise for you. It's such a unique floral!
PetiteCollegiate , I really love the print! I was able to buy my size, and I love it even more now. lol I do need to take the cookies out though, or I get a bit of quadding, but other than that, it is perfect :)
I really love the color of this bra and that I can use it as a skin tone bra. This bra doesn't give as much uplift as my sm margot because the lace is softer, but it is still a great addition. The back band is also a bit loose for my liking, but it's not terrible.
I will come back and add more, but quickly...this bra's band is very small. I did a measurement of around 25.5 inches. The blue knit fabric is gorgeous. I don't find that the straps are thin or stretchy.
Is this one a lined or unlined fabric? The S is a cut I haven't gotten my hands on yet to try from Ewa, but I have heard it is good for projection. I have a BM Aqua I got here now that is super comfy but the fabric is stretchy enough that it doesn't give my favorite shilouette or uplift. The vertical seams on the HMs I got here give me a strangely square shape from the sides (though again, very comfy and wow super sexy from the front view)...looking forward to your review :). So nice to read reviews from someone near my size! Thanks for doing them.
The S cut is basically the PL with a higher gore :) It's padded and comes with the removable pads. I really want to try a HM cut! Interesting that the side shape isn't as good as the front
TL;DR — This BM Kleks bra is a gorgeous, soft, blue lace. You will want to size up one band size. The bra creates a nice, rounded shape with good forward projection. Great style for narrow, projected shapes.
——- I really like my 80FF - Ewa Michalak » Bm Puder so when I saw that Levana Bratique was having a sale, I ordered the 80FF - Ewa Michalak » Bm Kleks (861). (Levana calls these the “Powder Lace Bra” and the “Lace Bra,” in case you’re looking for them there.) Like my other Ewa BM, this one runs small in the band, so you’ll want ...to get your sister size. I’m a 34 (75) band in nearly everything else but a 36 (80) band in the Ewa BM bras. The top part of the cup is stretch lace, which is nice if you’re a little asymmetrical or tend to change size throughout the month.
This bra is really pretty in person. The lace is dark enough to work underneath black tops, but it’s actually a beautiful blue. The jewel details on the straps and gore add a little fun sparkle. This bra was itchy when I first tried it on, but now that it’s been worn and washed, the lace feels soft and no longer itches. The firm wire and the seaming provide good support, but the fabric is lightweight and not stiff.
If you have a narrow, projected breast shape, then this bra is definitely worth a try! The gore is tall enough that you shouldn’t have an issue with spilling out the middle if you’re center-full and have struggled with spillage in plunge styles. If you have short roots or are very bottom-full, then you might prefer another Ewa (or Comexim) style with a shorter cup height. I really like Ewa Michalak BM style bras, and it’s probably good that I live too far away to go to the shop in person and accidentally buy 2-3 at a time. lol Read more 226 more words
I love this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> at first the gore underwires dug in a little, but I think that was mostly because I wasn't used to a properly fitting band & cup (was previously wearing 38C/85C, so gore always floated)
I love how this looks, but the band runs rather tight, like older EM bras. I will need an extender, and can generally wear 75 in other brands and 80 in EM.
Bra gapes for me on the top, I would say it runs about one cup size large. I also have wrinkles in the bottom of the cup, so there may not be as much projection there as in other EM bras. It gives me a very pointy look, probably because it is the wrong size.
This bra is inconsistently sized. I have the CHP Gazeta in 80FF which fits perfectly, whereas the CHP Klaudyna gapes on my larger breast even with the pads in place. I had a friend who wears 80GG try it, and it was a perfect fit for her. It's a beautiful bra, but two cup sizes too big! Also the gore runs quite wide for EM, which is a problem for close-set breasts.
Well, it looks like Ewa BM's just aren't for me. The band and gore were perfect, and so were the wires, but I felt like this really accentuated my asymmetry. Cup of smaller breast had major wrinkling at the top. Most importantly, though, I hated the pointy shape it gave. Will be sticking with the padded models.
I've been holding on to this one in the hopes that my boobs would magically change shape and then the cups wouldn't be too tall for me, because it's SUCH a great print/design. But sadly, not meant to be. Ewa's "CHP" cuts are just too tall (or possibly deep, or both) for me. Le sigh.
I am short rooted, pendulous, even, center full, and narrowish. For me this was a comfy bra, even though the cup size was 3 sizes too small. Gore didn't tack on me, but it tried really hard. Wire channels are padded and the bra itself is extremely comfortable on me. TTS 36 band I would say. 4 columns of 3 hooks. Well made EM bra.
Just received it so it's hard to say anything. This model runs small in the band and large in the cups; I typically wear a 34GG or a 36G, but this 36 band is too tight and must be worn with an extender. I also got a 36FF which is just the right cup size for my larger breast. A 38F probably would have been exactly the right size.
My first Ewa! it's awesome. I was worried the band would be too small, but, perhaps because i got this bra used from someone with a bigger UB than me, it's just fine.
Tons of forward projection! Under clothes, perfect, adds another inch to my bust measurement though! Without clothes, the CHP is not super flattering for my body type (fat) and when I order an EM directly from the company I'll get an SM or some other style. Cup is on the verge of being too big, but I would spill out if i sized down -- think i'd be able to size down in a fuller coverage style, though.
