The Ewa Michalak HM are unlined/unpadded. They have vertical seams (like the CH/CHP). This bra is just gorgeous. It worked like a nude on my light skintone. It is actually quite sexy on, as it is very sheer, in a very feminine way. Unfortunately the fit on this didn't work for me (though an HM Gold in the same size fits me well?). This one kind of flattens the front of my bust and gives a strange shape on my figure. It seems less projected than the other HM I have in this size.
So close to fitting. I sized up to this 85F after an 85DD was too small. I thought it was "much too small" so I went up double. That was a mistake. The cups are too big even with the cutlets in. But it's WAY more comfortable.
Wires are wide enough for me at this size, which is a small miracle given Ewa being known for narrow wires.
Straps are TOO wide though. It looks like they can be moved so I get to decide if I want to do that on my own on my next one or order it altered.
This bra is very structures. Lots of immediate projection. Lots of shaping built in. It's surprisingly comfortable given how structured it is. And very attractive.
Beautiful bra. I might go ahead and try the 85E, despite the price and the hassle of figuring out whether to return or resell these no-gos.
This is nicely roomy at the underwire and gives a very lifted, forward shape, more elevated than rounded. I think I made the right choice in not getting a 85FF (even though that would probably have given me a tacking gore), since I still don't have quite enough top fullness to fill the top out completely.
The optional push-up pads give excellent cakes-on-a-plate cleavage.
The band is stretchy. It fit almost like a 38 right off the bat and I could almost feel it getting longer as I wore it for the first time. The material is comfortable and soft, which is great, but this bra definitely runs bigger in the band than any other EMs I've tried.
This was the first bra I bought from EM, following their sizing chart. Unfortunately, the cup was too small. I did not bother sending it back, as it still gives good cleavage... The quality is amazing and it works really well as an halter neck bra too!
