So I bought this bra from someone on Reddit because it was sized so wrong and too small for her. I do not know what was going on with Ewa when she made this particular bra, but it fits my band (which is basically a 29, and obviously that doesn't exist) perfectly. It was supposed to be a 34, so that's a 5" difference. It can stretch to a 30, but it's pushing it fair bit (really probably should not go beyond 28"). I just don't understand. The cup also fits somewhere between sizes, so I'd put it between a G and GG. I'd say it's closer to a 28GG though.

Either way, she did it totally wrong. Which worked out pretty well in my favor, since it fits pretty well. I'd rather have a bit more fabric for the cups, but I can adjust to fit well even though sometimes I get quadboob.

EDIT: Got ahold of a 70GG, which fits more TTS. Selling this one.

My first impressions of the Molly are very positive. I haven't worn Freya Deco's since starting to wear Polish as they're the best shape for me especially now that the Deco has changed drastically. However, the original Deco was my go-to for years. Great fit, great cleavage, etc. Of course they don't make the Deco in 30H, so while stalking amazon for similar bras, I found this one. Sadly it's not a continuity bra that they ever brought back. I actually love this one-it's deeper than the older Decos (and *definitely* deeper than those terrible new ones), which is great for me. I may not quite get the ... exact shape/uplift/amazingness of the Polish bras, but this is as close for me out of the UK that I've found since. The color is kind of silly-I LOVE the dark background, it's just the dots that are silly to me. Comfort is pretty good for me-even though most UK stuff now rubs my underarms uncomfortably because the wires are too wide, this one has thick enough fabric that it hasn't bothered me so far (whereas the Fantasie I bought recently for cheap rubs me uncomfortably), which is great. The other issue I usually run into with UK stock these days is that while I fill out everything in the cups just fine, at the very top they are too tall because I have a short root (all of my Polish stock are 65Ls with reduced cup height). Not so for the Molly, which is great. The Molly will quickly become a part of my usual rotation. Hopefully my boobs stay the same size because I doubt I could find another Molly again! I lucked into this one as the bra came out back in 2011.

The romance is a really pretty bra. I love the red and black together, and it has very nice details. It's comfy too, which is nice. There are a few things I don't care for-it's a little too East /West for my liking, but it's not obvious to anyone but me. And the wire doesn't go all the way up the gore, so while it tacks to where the wire stops, there's another half an inch that isn't wired and sticks out funny. Also, my husband quite likes it of course because it's partially sheer (which is why I didn't photograph myself in it). It's good quality, but I think it needs a bit of adjusting to make it the perfect bra-maybe slightly less wide wires, and definitely a longer wire that goes all the way to the top of the gore.

So if you're like me and in between sizes, this bra will be great for you. I currently measure 29" underbust, and that's exactly how much this bra stretches too. I actually have to wear it on the tightest hook on most days though because I started it looser and it would slide down my chest not long after I put it on.

So far it's mostly comfy, but the bottom band rolls up under the bra, which is weird. Never ran into that before. I also found that the straps were much too long, but that with a bit of work, I managed to slide the clip ... over the thick strap and shorten it perfectly. Hooray.

It's very pretty and flattering on. It doesn't make me too projected, but I don't mind (in general, I prefer to be forward projected like I am in Ewa's and Comexim). I really like the burgundy lace-it's very soft and very pretty. Unlike any other similar laces, I found it to fit me perfectly. Usually they cut into the top of my breast (ahem, Cleo bras), but this one doesn't. Very happy with this bra.

Alright, so this bra's a bit of an odd ball, shape-wise. I'm not really sure how to describe what it does to my boobs. They're definitely wobblier with the half-cup shape, and they look good, but there's something a bit odd. I'm not saying I don't love the bra, I actually do. It's different from any other half cup I own, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Anyway, like everyone, I have asymmetrical breasts, but just barely. The only bra it's ever been visible in is Fantasie's Susanna (which I of course did not buy). Very odd. It's noticeable in this bra too, as it turns ... out. Thankfully it came with those handy inserts that fix your unevenness, though now my husband thinks the left boob (my slightly smaller one) looks bigger than the right. They look even to me in the mirror, but photos will help me determine which works best.

I love Ewa's bras, and I'm much happier purchasing them from other Bratabaser's than Ewa herself. Between the issues with customer service and people being charged VAT twice, I have no real desire to deal with the company. I purchased this one and the Gazeta from another user, and I'm very happy with my purchase.

The bra is a basic, but it's a good color for my skin tone (I am half black Irish and half Italian, which makes my skin more olive-y colored), which I like. I appreciate the Deco, but it's just a bit off from my skin color, and this works better.

I am comfortable in this bra, which is awesome. I love the narrower wires, which not enough companies use. Not all of us have breasts in our armpits, people! (I am looking at you, Elomi. Just cause my mom's a 38HH/J, doesn't mean she has boobs there!)

The band is supposed to be the equivalent of a 32, and I haven't measured yet, but I think that's about right. My 65GG Ewa fits perfectly in the band, and this one I have to put on the tightest hook to wear. I knew that was going to be the case, which is why I purchased a rixie clip on ebay. That should take care of the problem when this one stretches out.

First I must say that this is technically 65L with reduced cups and raised gore, but I don't know how to specify that here, so I just put the equivalent.

I adore this bra. I was on the fence about it for about a year before I finally caved and tried it. Now I want at least one more! It's so much prettier in person than online, and very comfortable. I think Comexim has become my favorite brand. The wires just fit so much better than any others. Even EM bras are too wide for my breasts (though I can wear them without irritation), so Comexim's are perfect.

Yet another bra based on the basic, which is a good shape for me. ALL the Ingrids for me!

The bands definitely stretch out too quickly, but nothing a quick alteration can't fix.

See my other review of the same bra. I bought two for dying purposes, but I'm selling both as they are too small.

For me, it's basically happiness in a bra. There is something about that bright blue that just makes me super happy. I also love the little hot pink bow, and the hot pink on part of the underwires inside. It's like a secret fun thing.

I find that the band is stretchier than some other EM's in the same size (like my SM Wroszka, which is pretty tight). It's definitely a 30 rather than 29 like several of her models have been (handy for me because that's my underbust measurement).

It's very pretty. My only real issue with it is the straps: they do not fully adjust. With ... my petite frame and high set breasts, the straps are too long. This was always an issue with VS bras when I was in a poorly fitting size. Straps were always sliding down my shoulders. So of course I'll have to take the straps apart and shorten it, which is super annoying. I wish Ewa would just make all of her straps adjustable, but she seems to like to sacrifice the ability for cutesy strap design, which is irritating.

Oh well. The bra gets a 96/100. I love it very much, and it'd be perfect if not for those darn straps. Also, I'm a bit afraid to wash it in fear of losing some of that gorgeous color (the black of my Wroszka leaked a lot for example), but it will get one anyway. Hopefully it stays that perfect happy shade.

I've only had this bra for a few days now, so I haven't fully formed my opinion yet (which probably says something, given my previous reviews).

I absolutely love the look of it. From the front, it's great. It's sheer, it's uplifting, it's sexy.

However.

From the side, it is clear that the bottom is a bit too shallow. From other photos I've seen, it looks like it may have been made wrong. It's definitely an odd shape on bottom, but at least it's not noticeable through clothing. It's undoubtedly a sexy bra, but the sudden shallow bottom is throwing me a bit. I can't ask my husband what he ... thinks because I know he'll love it, so I don't know what to do. I feel like I'll likely keep it. It is pretty great from the front. Who knows what happened, but that's the risk you take when your bras are handmade by smaller companies.

As for the comfort level? Shockingly high considering the material, but it's a good mesh. I've got 3 mesh EM bras now, something I never thought I'd say. Normally you don't associate mesh with comfort, but Ewa does mesh fabric properly. I can't even tell I'm wearing the fabric-it's just that comfortable.

I'm marking the appearance of this bra as good. Really, the appearance is great, but I can't say that it's excellent due to the bottom of the cup being weirdly shaped.

I am not sure where we went wrong, but the 75FF I thought I was ordering turned into a 70FF (aka that's what they sent). So I'm a 70G if I bump up to 70, and this 70 fits perfectly at 29." The cups are (as expected when I saw the size) too small, but it's not so bad. It gives me super cakes on a plate boobs though. I want to say it *just* fits, but if I sit down and slouch at all, there's a lot of quadding. I can easily maneuver the boobs to fit, especially when standing, but I could definitely use one cup size up.

Since it's from Poland though, I'm not willing to do an exchange since I'd probably not see it again for another 2 months. Since it's so darn pretty and I love it, I'll keep it. My husband will definitely enjoy this one!
