***ALTERED to fit like 70FF***
I wanted to make sure I put that on the review first! The first EM bra I tried was a 65FF. The fit was perfect! So perfect in fact that I couldn't use the inserts as that would have caused me to feel like I was falling out. Also, since the unstretched measurement was so much smaller than my underbust I thought maybe a 70 would do just as well and not put as much tension on the band so it would still be firm enough yet not ride up. After looking at several bra measurements and cup ... depths I thought a 70FF would work. When I saw this 70G pop up for sale I went ahead and got it with the intention of testing my hypothesis by altering it to the cup depth I was seeing on the 70FFs. So you will notice that the depth measurement I have listed for this one is 9.6 (which is smaller than a normal 70G). I have a picture showing how this alteration was done. (Just connecting cup to center gore along the inside of each cup.) You can see the tape measure showing the altered cup depth, or at least an approximation of it. I wish I could remember the blog I saw this alteration on but I can't find it now. The alteration doesn't change how the bra feels when wearing it. (I have since also acquired a 70FF which does fit as I expected so when I placed my first actual order from @ Ewa Michalak that is the size I ordered.) And as I mentioned prior with the unstretched bands of the 70's being 60-64cm (23.5-25in) that still provides me with enough tension for my 28in underbust to hold the bra in place and hopefully not fatigue my bands as quickly so they will last longer. All in all it was well worth it to confirm my size with this brand and to get a lovely bra in a style they aren't currently offering in the size I need.

This bra's measurements have been altered

Of the three bras in my latest purchase from Ewa Michalak, this was the one I least expected to fit me. As it turns out, it's the best one. The cups have just the right width, and depth in all the right places, putting my boobs front and centre, which is their natural shape when uplifted. The band is okay, but I would like it to be just a tad tighter (I wear 65/30 normally). It's not completely invisible under clingy or thin tops, because the top edges are rather thick. It comes with three different straps: standard ones; wider, padded comfort straps, which really are comfortable, and a halterneck strap. My one complaint would be that even in this size, there are only two hooks, and the back ends of the band are a triangular shape, like so ><, which feels like it's not as supportive as a straight band. The cups are made of a shiny satin fabric, with two diamond-like buttons on the gore. The band is polka-dotted mesh.

I bought this from another user and just tried it on. From many reviews, I thought the CH Lilia might run small in band and cup. Because I have a CH Biszkopty in a 65G that I love, I thought the 70G might be OK. It seems this one runs more TTS (perhaps because it's a newer one?), so it's about a cup/a little over a cup too big as well as too large in the band. I do love the CH shape, though, and wish it had fit.

I've just got to accept that the CH cut is not good for soft breasts at all.

The bra is absolutely lovely, and runs fairly true to size, which means this is a sister size too big for me, the band is too loose, and the cup is just a smidge too small. I think I may need slightly more projection than it provides, but I don't think the too small cup would be noticeable if my tissue was a little firmer.

Awesome that it's convertible, but I have to give up on the CH cut.
