Very nice bra. Quite firmly padded in a rich purple. The plaid bow was not my personal favorite. Very uplifted shape. Black lining.
Unfortunately it was too large in the cups for me. Which I expected. It worked well when I borrowed the push up pads from my onyx, though. The band was pergect- about what I usually go for (36-34).

I got this bra several months ago and it felt so tight, I don't think it stretched out as much as I grew accustomed to my real band size.
Bows on the center gore do not sit cute in my size. Why do they keep trying to put them there?
Front cuteness on straps is super itchy, I may someday alter to remove the loop detail.
My cups came without pad pockets, but this is fine, as I don't care for the way they feel wrinkled up against my underbreast, and the asymmetry I have I do not consider to be worthy of my attention.

This is my most flattering bra. It gives a great shape to my breasts while also being extremely supportive and well made. The underwire does not poke me constantly. The band also doesn't stretch to a huge, unwearable size.
It gives an almost 'push up' bra appearance without the use of push up pads or tons of padding. I also love that it has a curved band, which helps it sit comfortably and not dig into me since I have a bit of a belly.

I bought this just before my breasts changed size, so unfortunately it doesn't fit quite right; I have to wear a small pad on my larger breast and a bigger pad on my smaller breast. When I first bought it it looked a bit better on me.
I just don't like the S as much as I like the PL. It doesn't give me as nice cleavage, and the strap placement seems a bit off for me. Although I have softer breasts, I found they didn't fall out in the PL, so the extra gore height of the S doesn't give me any real benefit.

As said before, actually the EM hp are my preferred bras. They works wonderfully with shallow/full on top breast. Unfortunately it no longer seems to be a "leading model", the only new model available is the rokoko.
About the Kobalt: it's so beautiful with its blue brocade fabric, so comfortable. It is my dream bra. If I have to find a fault, it's the only one that the straps are partially adjustable.
About the size: I don't really think that the EM bras are only for narrow breast. In fact I had made the mistake of buying the same uk size that I used with other brands, while Ewa michalak bras are designed to fit a ribcage measured in cm equal or similar to eu size band . So if I have a ribcage of 85cm(33.5inch), my best fit in EM bras would be a EU 85(UK 38).
- PL/HM style: 85FF
- HP/CHP style: 80G (the bands in these styles are normally a bit longer so I can downsized)

Despite the fact that this bra has only two hooks, it seems quite comfortable. This bra seems to run larger in the cup compared to other Ewa Michalak CHPs and certainly compared to PLs and CHs. It has a tight (true-to-size) band. It gives a very nice projected, rounded shape.
My size in most brands is 34H, so this is one size up in the band and one size down in the cup.
Note: I am writing this review in January, 2013, several months after the bra was purchased. I have given my initial review and fitting comments based on my notes about the fit of ... the bra near the time of purchase. Since the bra was purchased, my breasts have grown and the bra no longer fits properly. Below are my comments on the current state of the bra:
The band on this bra has not stretched significantly while I have owned it; I can still wear it on the loosest hook. This is currently my favorite bra and I wear it about once every 4 days.
Update (February 2013): I am now using this bra on the second hook. Worse than the band stretching was a sudden and dramatic stretching of the straps, which are only partly adjustable. I've since shortened them by about 6 cm (the adjustable part is 7 cm) so I hope this will solve the problem. From purchase time until I had a problem with the straps was about 4.5 months with wearing it about twice a week (handwashing after every time worn).
