This is a relatively unique looking bra. The color is nice but quite bold. The materials make for a pretty comfortable fit, though it doesn't actually fit me. It went from being too small to much too big, so I can't say much about it as I've never been able to wear it. The lower half of the cups are lined while the top is just unlined lace.

A previous owner removed the elastic that was sewn to the top edge of the cups so it's rather FOT friendly. The band is a bit loose for me and the cups now gape a lot. Despite it being too big, the gore floats because there isn't enough room for my center fullness - an issue I almost always have to deal with.

Because of all that, this bra has been listed for sale. If I still have it when my camera arrives in the mail, I'll write a more detailed review on my blog.

I placed an order for a custom 65H SM Wróżka and SM Czarna Mgiełka on 5.21.14 and received them both today, 6.14.14.

I'm not sure what to think about this particular bra. There's something off about it when I compare it to my other SM bras. Even though this is supposed to be a cup bigger than my Burek and others, it feels almost a cup too small and too big at the same time.
The gore does not want to tack at the top. I can easily fit my index finger between it and my skin, sideways, but the top of the cup wrinkles. Both problems vary ... as I move around, but are never completely remedied. I don't know if they made a mistake while sewing it, if it has to do with the materials it's made out of, or if it's just not cut the same as other SM's. From my limited bra knowledge, I would guess that there isn't as much immediate projection. It seems like they took the fabric meant for the bottom and added it to the top of the cup instead.

I suppose I could put a stitch in the top of the cup to help with the wrinkling, but that does nothing for the gore. When I press the gore flat, there's no quadding but a smidge of wrinkling. I'm really leaning towards a lack of projection... or maybe the wires aren't as firm?

Aside from all that, the bra is beautiful and feels rather sturdy, but is a bit itchy all over. I'm sure it would soften with wear. Also, The band feels a little firmer than usual, almost uncomfortably so. That might just be intensified by the itchyness, though.

I don't know what I'm going to do with this one. I might have to ask around and figure out if I want to sell or keep it. If I'm being honest with myself, though, if it doesn't fit more closely to perfect and is itchy, I'm probably not going to wear it. At least not often.

Edit: Decided to sell this one. There's too much wrong in terms of fit that there's no point in keeping it.

This is the second time I've owned the pink Marcie in this size. It has always been one of the two bras I could count on to "fit" but was never comfortable for very long. That still holds true... for the most part.

This time around, I'm coming back to it after losing some weight. Combining that with general variance in bras, it doesn't fit as well as my last one did. The cups gape a bit at the top, which hadn't been an issue before. The band is a tad tighter than I would like, but that will change with wear. One thing that hasn't changed is the discomfort the wires can cause under the arms. I wish it weren't so difficult to find bras with wires shorter than 4" while also being a narrow U shape (along with all the other requirements I need for a bra to fit, of course).

Once my camera arrives in the mail, I'll take better pictures and write a more detailed review on my blog.

I no longer own this bra but it was too small for me.

I bought this bra from another Bratabase user along with an SM Trefl, also in 65J.

This is another beautiful bra from Ewa Michalak. The color is a creamy white/beige with some pearly shine to it. The band material is quite soft, while the cups are a little rougher, but not itchy. Definitely softer than the Trefl.

The fit is a bit off for me though, and I'm not quite sure why. The tops of the cups are a little loose and don't lay flat. There's also this weird indented quadding going on near the gore and out towards the apex of the cup. The gore doesn't fully tack on ... me, even when I scoop away from the gore (I have a lot of center fullness and SM's are too shallow for me there). There also seems to be slightly less immediate projection on this one when I compare it to the Trefl. It's no where near as bad as my 65H Wrozka is in terms of fit, but it has slightly similar problems.

The band feels like a 28 UK band (which I like). The wires are nice, narrow and more U shaped. Because of that, I find them much less irritating than my 28HH Lily and Marcie wires.

Unfortunately though, this one will be resold, as we're not quite compatible for some reason.

I placed an order for a custom 65H SM Wróżka and SM Czarna Mgiełka on 5.21.14 and received them both today, 6.14.14.

This is definitely the better of the two bras I custom ordered. I had it's sister the Nana in 65GG and it was a cup size too small for me. This one is nearly perfect. The gore tacks most of the time, there's no quadding or wrinkling in the cups and the band is delightfully snug without restricting my breathing. The gore is a teensy bit low for my breasts so I expect I'll need to check on it a few times during wear, but I ... tend to do that even on bras that I never have to worry about (Marcie and Alexa), so I don't mind. I do think the SM style isn't a perfect fit for me, having tried so many of them now, but I'm marking this as a fit since it's so close.

Czarna is beautiful, comfortable and doesn't itch. I think this is my new favorite... with Cynamon as a close second. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

*EDIT* I have since altered this bra by sewing an elastic band to the inside of the bra band to keep it from stretching while wearing it. While it now fits more like a 30 band and I prefer the fit of a 28, I'm going to mark it as a fit as it's much more comfortable now and doesn't really ride up anymore.

I ordered this bra in 70GG, even though I usually wear 28H, because I fell in love with this bra and had to have it.

The color and design of the bra are beautiful. The pictures on the website are pretty accurate; pink toned beige ... cups with a more true beige band. It disappears quite nicely under light colored clothing, even though it's darker than my skin tone. The quality is great and it's comfortable (so far).

The reason I actually went with the GG instead of a G, is because I feel that the 65GG I have in the Burek (and formerly the Nana and Margot), is a cup size too small for me. I would have ordered a 65H, but they were out of fabric and I just couldn't go without.

It's a little hard for me to say whether this is a true 32GG, as I don't typically wear that size, but knowing the fit in the 65GG SM's feel a bit more like a 28GG, I might say this fits more like a 30GG/H. I feel much more secure in this than I do in my Burek, but the band is definitely too loose on me.
I still have to make sure I swoop and scoop, not only from the sides, but also away from the gore, so that it will tack. Even then, it still doesn't always tack completely. A higher center gore would probably help fix the issue, as that doesn't happen on my 30GG Marcie who's gore is half an inch taller.
The cups also feel like they're a bit too tall for me and as a result, I feel like I'm wearing a lot of bra. The security they give are worth the trade off for me, though.
It's possible that with my soft breasts, narrow, short roots, large amount of projection and center fullness, that the SM and I aren't completely compatible, but I can live with the minor fit quirks that I have with this style. They're just too pretty to give up.

I will be keeping this bra, but will likely be altering the band soon, so it fits more snugly.

Having this bra work as well as it does in comparison to my Burek, gives me hope for the custom 65H Wrozka and CzarnaMgielka that I'm waiting on. I'll be sure to review those as well.

This was by far my most comfortable bra. Not only was it comfy, it was gorgeous too. My husband caught a glimpse of it while I was changing and even he had said it was a good looking bra - he normally tunes out when I talk about or show him my bras.
I had happened upon it and bought it knowing it would be too small. That was certainly true, but when I started to lose weight, it eventually became my only passable fit.
This particular one had reduced cups, which is absolutely necessary for me to get a decent fit in Comexim's padded plunges. Their wires ... are rather soft so when it fit best, I only got a soft tack out of it. The soft wires does mean it's much more comfortable under the arms, though. *Love*

The band was workable, though during the few times I was able to wear it as I lost weight, it eventually became a bit too loose for me. I'm so sad this bra isn't being made anymore, as far as I know. I would buy it again in a heart beat, but this time in a reduced 65J.

Beautiful print. Feels really well made. I was surprised at how sturdy it is.

Unfortunately, the cups are one or two sizes to big. There is a significant amount of gaping at the top and the wings and gore come up too high because of how big it is on me.

The band is between a 30 and 32. It feels great, perfect fit for a bikini as is not to tight but still supportive.
