I honestly wasn't sure if I would like this bra. I am not a huge fan of neon colors, and especially not neon yellow. I am so happy that my inner Polish Junkie won out and I ordered it. The cups are overlayed with the hot pink lace, and the straps are definitely not neon yellow, but more of an almost pastel yellow. It has quickly become a favorite!
I think EM is making her bands tighter all around, as I used to wear a 70HH in S model bras, but now even a 75H is far too tight. The 80GG is just a *wee* bit loose, but I've discovered I much prefer EM bras to be a bit too loose over too tight, as they tend to fit oddly and the wires become extremely uncomfortable when the band is too tight.
I owened a PL Onyks years ago, but my boobs have since grown several cup sizes and I have sold it elsewhere. When I saw this bra come out, with its beautiful matte black padding and ...dreamy comfort straps, I knew it must be mine.
The cups on this fit perfectly (as much as I love my CHPs, the fit on S model bras have always moulded to my chest best. guess my breasts fall into the "difficult" category), However, I have figured out that this bra fits me best with the pad out of the right side cup, which holds my larger breast.
*Tip to those who have issues with the comfort straps!* Try loosening the strap and taking out the pads, if the bra has them. I thought I'd have to get rid of this bra when I first received it, as I couldn't get the damn strap on the right side to remain attached for anything, but when I loosened the strap itself and then took out the cookie, the strap stayed put without issue. Thank gods, because the padded strap is wonderful.
I also appreciate the simply jeweled decal in the middle, rather than some of the more ridiculously sized and misplaced decals they've had as of late.The last couple of EM bras I've purchased, I immediately cut off the decal because mega sized bows/antique granny broaches/pastel pom-poms are not really my jam.
Otherwise, the shape I get from this is lovely and pert, if not a little pointy. I find it's best to wear this model bra with looser fitting clothes, as it definitely accentuates my chest quite a bit, esp. compared to my Comexim plunges. With tighter clothing, I feel like this bra adds some bulk and non-existent lbs. to my figure, but that could be all in my head. Read more 267 more words
Sorry for the blurred image of the front shot. Yesterday I received my order in mail😀 I just fell in love with her. The flower pattern is what I've been looking for. I also love its color way ; mint, navy, black and light pink with the grey nuance. Soooooooo pretty!!! Unfortunately, this bra doesn't fit me. What a shame.... Not like other EM bras, the band runs quite big and cup small (shallow more acurately, but not sure). I think it fits like 36G..maybe 36FF with the pads? The gore doesn't lie flat against sternum. That's ok. At least I find my size in EM's S style bra , which is in between 80h~hh with altering straps (That means EM's S style doesn't fit me perfectly😂 Another shame because I am kind of obsessed with padded bras with big and lovely bows and ornaments.) Anyway, I'm gonna list this after measuring it. If you are interested, feel free to ask.
I will definitely be writing a review on this one, so I won't get too detailed here. She is gorgeous! the main fabric of the cups seems to be identical to Kamea, but the purple trim on everything completely changes the bra. Did I mention that I love purple? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Boob shelf, and a bit too tall for my shorter root, so the apex doesn't sit quite right. Also all the centering equals spillage for me.
Hootymyboobs , I think that one is about a cup size too big if not 2. The could contribute to the boob shelf. Also, make sure the straps are adjusted properly. That may help to.
It's not too big, it just doesn't suit my shape. At all. I've tried an 80GG and two different 85GG's. I daily wear a 34HH Panache. I am short rooted, projected and pendulous shape with soft tissue and a propensity to fold down my bras. ALL of them. I am full everywhere but up top, and with the lifting and centering that S bras do, I spill over the middle and the gore doesn't come close to tacking. It makes me so sad because the S cups are so pretty....
This is a lovely pale pink bra with pretty lace and a rhinestone gem in the gore. There is also a large bow that I would remove but I'm not big on large bows between my boobs. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Also they look silly under t-shirts. The fabric is soft and there is a white cotton lining with cookies.
I can't comment on the fit since the cups are too large and CHP is not a good fit for me.
I think I am a convert to Ewa Michalak. The craftsmanship is beautiful, I love the fabric, and best of all the fit of this bra is light years better than anything else I have owned since arriving at this current size and shape. I know they have a reputation for having tight bands, but this one started out only firm and has loosened up a bit in the two weeks since I bought it. It gives me a gorgeous rounded shape and the padding is not excessive. It is such a relief to have my soft tissue contained! I don't mean to quibble, but only a couple ...of small factors keep it from being a perfect fit: one, the wire will not stay in my IMF on the inner half of each breast (no trouble with movement at the outside edge it seems. I can push it up with minimal quadding if any on my bigger side, but there is no way to keep it there. Also, the straps seem to be taking too much weight and are digging in. I can't imagine going a band size down, though. Read more 83 more words
Another love. I am happy to have this one in my collection as well. A review was written for this one, comparing it to Kwiaty. Link is below https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I love the lace overlay, adn the colors play off of each nicely.
I heard that BM is similar to the Panache Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) so when one became available in a bra group I snatched it up to try. Bonus it was black, since I had shrunk too much for my black Envy to support me anymore.
It's a bit more narrow than envy, but the overall shape given is pretty much the same. Support too is comparable, but stretchier than Envy, especially initially. It's satin smoothe, and almost invisible under shirts. Would happily buy another BM given the right color/pattern came up.
I love this one! Perfect color for fall and winter. I have never been a fan of animal prints, but this is so subtle, that I had to order it, I love the contrast of the light pinky lavender flower at the gore. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I know alot of people said that the band ran firm, but I don't find that to be true for mine.
Its weird, a few ppl said their bands were small, but CurvyWordy and I both found it too loose. She had to use tightest hook and I am using 2nd tightest.
I absolutely love this one! The colors are gorgeous, and the coral contrast is perfect. I reach for this one at least once a week. That is saying a lot considering that I have over 40 Polish bras. lol.
The new one from Ewa Michelak. This bra will not disappoint you! I know several of the sizes have sold out, but if it is still available in your size, you need this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It is so beautiful. There is a gorgeous lace over the cups and at the base of the band, and on the straps. Fit is great, but the band does run firm in this one.
I've tried 85G and 85GG in CHP, and neither were quite 100% correct. The 85GG had enough depth but the cups were too tall (luckily a shirt hides this), 85G was short enough to fit my breasts but didn't have enough depth so it didn't tack. 80GG seems to hit the sweet spot right between the two sizes - the cups are short enough for my super-short boobs, and it has enough depth to hold them in place.
A few things to note - the straps are not fully adjustable, and they feel really stretchy. The wires feel narrower than my other CHPs, and are probably as narrow ...as I'd want to go. And, pictures do not do this bra justice - the colors on it are beautiful. The purple is this lovely dark dusky lavender, and the pink lace is a similar, dusky shade. I love bright colors, but I also hold a special love for soft, muted tones, and purple is my favorite color.
I bought this one used only half-expecting it to work, so I was quite pleased and surprised to find that it actually does quite nicely. Read more 84 more words
CHPs are quickly becoming my favorite style in EM. 80GG as well. I've recently picked up the CHP Cappuccino and it is by far my favorite EM bra to date :)
I really like CHP - it's just pretty and I love the way I look in them. 80GG is my best fit for them, which is kind of weird as I usually wear 36HH in UK bras. My shape is weird to fit.
overthestars it may be because the cups are a bit more open on top than other EM styles. I know some girls that prefer to size down in the CHP style to get the best fit :)
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what size will work best for me for S now. I have issues with cups being too tall - at least with unlined bras I can get ones that are very closed on top which works pretty well.
Have you tried Comexim? They do alterations at no extra charge, and a reduced cup is one of the most common..
I got this off E-bay and hoped that it would fit because I was looking for a EM to try out before ordering direct. Luckily it fits! The band is quite snug on it's own fits a bit like a 34 but with an extender it's fantastic. I imagine with time the band itself alone will be comfy enough. The cups are wonderful! They hold everything in place and the lift....THE LIFT! The material is super soft, the wires are a perfect length...there's no digging under the arms or into my ribcage. The gore is a perfect height as well. Can you tell I'm in love with this bra, because if not, I absolutely am! I'll certainly be looking to place an order with EM because compared to the other two I have, this is certainly the closest I've come to ABTF perfectly. I also notice that with or without the cookies the bra fits great.
I am short rooted, soft, projected, pendulous, even, center full and narrowish. This bra was a cup size too small for me. This is a good bra for a short root that's soft. The higher center gore was doing good at preventing some spillover. Not all as it is too small.
This bra is flat out beautiful. The lace in the gore and along the band is just beautiful. I love the metallic ribbon across the cup.This bra does have the foam inserts and pockets to correct asymmetry. I tried the bra on without them.
This cut (S) is probably the narrowest out of all the EM bras I have tried. Good center depth, and good bottom depth. Gore didn't tack (never seems to on me), and I spilled towards the center, but I think that will be fixed when I get the H cup. Seams are visible on a jersey shirt, but not as bad as some I have tried.
I got this bra in this size because my gazette felt so tight. However, this one feels quite a bit too big. I wore it on the tightest hook almost immediately. Sigh.
The wires look too wide, but I don't feel miserable or super adjusty in them.
Ordered what Ewa's calculator suggested, as it was close to what I think I am (ugh weight gain). When I picked it up at the post office I gnawed through the tape before even getting back to the car. It's beautiful, but I was a little underwhelmed at first by the construction. I guess I'm spoiled with all the sales I find on my size but I felt this wasn't quite worth the price except for its looks.
Appearance/construction: The bra is lined with a thin foam, which I do not consider padding but I can see how others might. Also, the foam is white. Id ...much prefer it to be dyed to match the exterior. The non-adjustable section of the straps is covered in tulle, and itchy on my sensitive skin, but I think it'll soften with wear. The embroidered overlay stands out at the bottom of the cup. As a seamstress I can tell you this was completely avoidable during construction if another two minutes had been taken it drape it properly. However, a few hand stitches and it'll be fixed well enough.
Fit: amazeballs. The first time I tried it on I wasn't sure. Probably because I was slightly disappointed by the construction issues. The second time, I loved it. Firm band. Round, lifted cups. Straps not in my armpits. And no quadboob. I laid the bra ontop of my 34H - Cleo » Juna (6461) and the wires are noticeable narrower, and I love it. I haven't actually worn it anywhere but around the house yet, but I think it's going to be wonderful. Read more 170 more words
Measurements are based on the bra having been worn weekly for more than a year. I wear the bra on the second set of hooks because the band has stretched. It is a bright red.
Measurements are based on the bra having been worn about once a week for one year. The bra is a light red with white dots, and a floral patterned fabric on the straps and on the side.
My last S was the Pantera - i'm not a huge fan of blue or animal, but its so comfy its my new fave too!
