This cut is completely new to me so I’m not sure if it fits correctly.
First, the cups construction and overall quality make it more a “special occasion” bra. It’s true the decorative straps are hard to adjust without cutting into the breast tissue. Once it’s done, the result is really impressive. I like the contrast between the beige mesh and black straps and trims, and between the triangular and round shapes on the cups, it’s very graphic.
When it comes to the quality, I’m a little bit disappointed. If I couldn’t wear it as an everyday bra, it’s not only because of the straps showing through the clothes, ... but also because of the comfort. As mentioned in other reviews, the shoulder straps are very thin, I’m pretty sure they’re the ones used in CH Cherry. They’re too thin for this size and they’re very hard. My skin marks easily, I’m sure these straps would leave red marks after an all day wear (quite disappointing when you consider the price). My other complaint is about the band – while it’s still more comfortable than in other brands (IMO EM makes the best bands in the world!), it seems thinner than usual in EM bras. It wouldn’t prevent me from wearing it all day long, but I can feel it even though the band isn’t too tight.
As mentioned, I’m not quite sure if the cup size is right. The cups are lower than what I’m used to and I don’t know if it’s specific to this cut or if I should go up a size. Also the centre gore doesn’t tack perfectly but it could be due to the wrong cup size. The shape I obtain is pointier than for example in BM bras – again, I don’t know if it’s due to the wrong size.
All that being said I’m overall happy with this purchase. I love the graphic effect of the straps and trims and it works great as a special occasion bra. I hope the next time Ewa Michalak releases this kind of bra, she will use materials adapted to the size.

I think it does look nice on you though, and the beige mesh is a great match to your natural skin colour. I can imagine that the straps are a bit hard to adjust and might show through. After this review and the other one, I am more interested in it than I was originally.
