  First of, about sizing. Ewa Michalak uses both EU and UK band sizes, but only UK cup sizes so the 65E equals a 30E. As there is no US standard it's really hard to convert to US sizes.

  About the fit, to me it looks good. The wires looks like it's the correct width. The cup coverage could maybe be a tiny bit less, but as the fit otherwise looks good, I don't think you need to worry about it. It is probably just a shape issue. In the profile picture it looks like the band is a tiny bit high in the back. Is it riding up? Have you tightened the straps a lot? Or is it just how it looks in the picture and not how it is in reality? If I would really be knitpicking there is some slight gaping close to the strap on one side. It might be just how you're holding the camera but, if you are experiencing some slight assymmetry it might be good to aim for a model with pads from Ewa Michalak next time if you'd prefer to just even it out a tiny bit.

  About depth. Ewa Michalak runs quite deep compared to many brands, especially in the smaller cup size range. Quite a lot of people in your size and smaller actually has the problem that Ewa Michalak bras are too deep and narrow. The proportions of the cup depth vs. width has nothing to do with half cup or not, it's really just based on the shape the designer has decided to base the patterns on. There are shallower and deeper bras of every coverage level.

  And, congratulations on finding such a great fit at the first try in Ewa Michalak bras! And on finding a well-fitting and comfortable bra.

  For the future I would suggest that you aim for the deeper narrower cups. In your size range that is usually quite easily achieved by focusing on the brands that makes bras for bigger cup sizes. In general, the bigger the cup the deeper/narrower it will need to be in proportions. Brands usually create a pattern for the middle size and then base all their sizes on that one for each model. Because of that, a model that goes from B to E-cups tend to be based on a D-cups and will in most cases be shallower in a 30E than a model that goes from E to G that most likely if based on a F-cup. Does that make any sense? Of course there are differences withing each brand, for Freya you might find that the half cups are too shallow for you while the unpadded bras tends to be deeper and narrower.

  At the same time, if you end up finding the perfect fit in Ewa Michalak there is no shame in sticking with what works for you. If it works, then it works and that's great!

  • Thanks! I'm really happy with it. It's soo comfortable! I'm really excited! :) :) :) :)

    It does ride up slightly in the back (but less than any of my previous bras I have gotten in the 30in band range).

    I do have some asymmetry you're right, which makes it hard to pick bras that fit/look decent and this one actually does a better job than most at hiding it. But, next time I order one I will definitely look into that because I'd like to minimize it as much as possible!!

    I think that makes sense talking how deep a cup might be based on what model it is generated from.

    Thanks for all the help! :)
