SS2013 - unpadded balconette bra made of black geometric lace
More...
This bra is discontinued.
Initial notes: cups run a little less deep than my other SM bras (Margot and Motylowate) - possibly to compensate for the lace edge being looser on the Trefl than on the embroidered bras. Makes the cups a little too shallow for me though.

I love this bra! I love the shape, the cleavage, how it looks, and how comfortable it is. The only thing I would change is ordering a 60G instead of the 65FF as the band is loosening up a little quickly for me.

This is my first Ewa Michalak bra, and I'm amazed at how well it fit, considering that sizes are a bit tricky. I think I will be ordering more bras. I used their measuring guide to see what they'd give me for my band size, and with my recently reduced weight, I definitely have to get a 70 band, not a 75 band, even though I take a 32 band in Panache.
It's beautifully constructed 3-part cup in lovely lace, with nice, narrow wires (almost too narrow!), and gives a lovely up-front shape (and one hell of a cleavage - my breasts are close together and full in the ... middle). I'm not quite sold on the bling on the gore, but I'll leave it for now.
I thought the band would be too small when I measured it, but it's nice and stretchy. The bra straps are slightly too widely placed and the straps could be a little longer, but it's not too bad.
Shipping to Norway took about a week from dispatch, not too bad at all. Poland is close by, after all.

I get a small amount of quad boob which I expected since I knew I needed a 65gg. However my tissue is fairly malleable and I'm able to readjust and tuck so it's not bad and doesn't bother me. I got it from a user on here nwt tags so if I purchase this style directly next time I'll order a 65gg. It is way more beautiful in person than I expected and I love it! Wires are perfect.

+ Very rounded shape and good lift for a non-padded bra
+ Wires are considerably narrower than any other bra I own - see photos of Trefl 80JJ overlaid on 34JJ - Panache » Jasmine (6951)
+ Lower half of cup is 3 panels, all very flat seams for no-show under clothes.
+ Cups are a single layer of lace, unlined, so very lightweight but strong and supportive. The lace has a tiny bit of give but is essentially not stretchy.
+ Yoke is double layered, also not very stretchy so fits under bust firmly. Back is soft and quite stretchy. No bones in the side seams.
+ Straps are ... fully adjustable and do not seem to slip.
+ Center gore is narrow and not super high.
I first ordered this in a 75JJ. It is a tiny bit small in the cup (wires don't quite sit on my ribcage at the sides, cup doesn't quadboob, but only just), definitely too small in the back, and the strap width and cup height means I'll only wear it when I'm confident I can behave like a lady and don't need to be worrying about wobble. But with an extender I have worn and loved it.
I love the simplicity of the lace and the construction in general, and how lightweight it is. I'm not opposed to padded bras but I do feel like sometimes they put my boobs too close up under my chin, and you can't see it but I feel the bulk. I think my favourite thing about my 75JJ Trefl though is the low gore. It is the only bra I own that is truly plunge-like, that hugs each breast properly, tacks to my sternum and doesn't have to climb halfway to my collar bone to do so. I have lots of wrap dresses and with this bra I can wear them without pinning, flashing my bra or showing cleaveage (the 'my bra doesn't fit' 2D kind).
So I ordered the 80JJ, a bit bigger all over, and it's definitely the right size in the back. Not 100% on the cup though: hunching my shoulders creates some gape and there is a little space at the top. Also, the gore is a bit higher (1cm makes a noticeable difference) and the cups are significantly higher. I measured from the wire up the vertical seam in the middle of each cup and there is a 3-4cm difference in cup height between the 2 sizes. So not so great under my wrap dresses. Think I might try a 80J and see how I go.

This is my first SM bra. The band is stretchy - stretches to 31" - so naturally I had to hook it on the tightest hook for my 27" ribcage. I find it uplifting, but not as high as an HM bra would. The shape for me is like pointy round-ish perky. The straps are fully adjustable.
The seams and lace are completely flat, so it doesn't really show under fitted tops. I find it separates my breasts a little, so from the sides it does not look really projected. I don't prefer it, but I can still tolerate.
Wires are narrow and follow the crease of my breasts perfectly. The bra is also comfortable to be worn for long period of time.

I have a love affair with this bra. Okay, it's a non-padded, non-plunge black lace number, so why the love? The world is full of black lace bras. Well, first of all, the lace is sneakily super stylish. It's modern, contemporary, not the usual grandma's-roses-thing. The Trefl looks sharp. Added to the perfect shape it gives and the relatively low center gore, this bra is sophisticated sexy times ten. Understated but boy it still packs a punch!
Pros:
- read above
Cons:
- haven't found any, unless you count that the band runs really tight and is sturdy => no stretching

I can't believe I forgot to add this bra to my list!
This was the first and only SM style bra I have tried so far, but I definitely am in love. This bra gives me the perfect rounded shape without too much projection. I have always liked bras that give me a slight minimized shape over a full projected shape. The lace is pretty strong and secure and has lasted me quite awhile without stretching or distorting.
When I got this bra the band was definitely on the tight side. A bit too tight for my taste, but I definitely feel secure in it. If I could get this bra with a light padding, I think I would wear it every day. I don't usually like unlined bras because of the nipple factor.

This bra has lots of immediate depth at the base of the cup. The wires are narrow, but they are surprisingly comfortable on my wider roots. There's a lot of room in the cup itself, so it feels like I can scoop all of my (softer) breast tissue into the cup itself and not have the wires sitting on breast tissue. This is definitely closer to a balconette, not a plunge like EM seems to advertise. My only complaint is that the straps are a little wide and cut into my armpits, but even then it's still pretty comfortable! It's absolutely gorgeous too - if I could get away with wearing it everyday I would!
