I've been searching for bras that fit for years, and I have only finally just got around to trying Ewa Michalak. I know, I know. I'm excited to report that my first attempt at an unlined Ewa is actually a pretty great fit. I just made it into the available size range with a 65F. I usually struggle with unlined seamed bras, so I was pleasantly surprised. The only slight fit issue is that the wires are a little tall under the arm for me. I had more success with this bra than the unlined Comexims I ordered at the same time, which I will also be reviewing soon. Full review of the 65F - Ewa Michalak » Sm Czarna Mgiełka (481) on my blog!

It’s been about 7 years since first I became active in bra-fitting and lingerie

I'm in love with so much about this bra: the fire engine red, all-over lace is stunning. The materials are lovely and soft. There is ample projection, but the cups also run at least half a size large and somewhat wider than I expected. Unfortunately, it's an incompatible shape for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> That red, though! A full review can be found on my blog.

The Freya Fancies longline was my most anticipated bra for AW16...

I got major quadboob in size 28F, while the 28G was too big in the cup. I didn't get to try the 28FF, which would probably be a perfect fit. Full review on my blog.

This was my first attempt at this beautiful lace longline bra. Both the cups and band were too big for me. The band runs true to size for a 30, but the cups run at least half a size to a full size big. The wires are much wider than my Freya padded half cups in this size. The gore is also taller and quite wide, which did not work for my close-set boobs. The 4-part cups are fairly closed on top and projected, so good for full on bottom shapes, but probably would cup in if you're full on top. Other notable features of this bra are really soft and stretchy straps and only 2 columns of 5 hooks. The materials are soft and supremely comfortable, except, in my case, for the wide and tall gore. I loved how it looked so much that I ordered it again in 28FF - Freya » Fancies Longline Bra (1014). I've written up a full review of that bra on my blog.

Finally, a Comexim that fits! My latest order was supremely successful. I tried a 3HC in my new size, and finally found the cut and alterations that work for me. Plus the print is so pretty. It's even nicer IRL than in the stock photos. Full review on my blog!

Hello, intrepid reader. Today I have for you a review of one of my latest

Etta is one of my favorite bras ever. I love the dainty floral print, the super soft lightly padded cups, and the smooth satin finish. It worked surprisingly well for my pendulous, FoB breasts and short roots. The 28G was too big in the cup after losing some weight and the 28F - Bravissimo » Etta Longline (LN412) was too small. It's now my goldilocks bra as I think I need a 28FF for the fit to be just right. The three-part, padded plunge style is reminiscent of a Comexim plunge bra. I've put more details and a full review of the fit of both sizes on my blog, plus a brief review of the 28FF - Bravissimo » Satine Bra (AU15), the cut on which Etta is based, for comparison. I hope to try the new pink colorway as well.

The Bravissimo Etta Longline has been on my must-have list for months ...

Freya's padded half cups have always been a go-to for me. Fearne was on my must-have list since I saw the AW16 previews. I just love the pattern and the bra looks so much nicer in person than in the promo photos. The material is delightfully soft and smooth with quality finishing. I think it's flying under the radar, and that's a shame, because it's beautiful. Unfortunately, the 4-part padded half cup from Freya is a shape mismatch for my narrow, projected, close-set, FoB, short-rooted boobs. I wish it fit. There's a full review on my blog!

Freya half cups were my first bras that truly fit and they will always hold a special place in my heart ...

This was my second attempt at finding a padded half cup that fits from Gorsenia via Othereden.co.uk. My first was 65E - Gorsenia » Margo Padded Balconette (K280) which was a little bit too small in the cup. Patti fits much better, and it's fun to finally have a really vibrant color in my bradrobe again. Just look at that coral! This model comes with cookie pockets, unlike Margo. It's the ideal cut for me - ample room at the wire, tapers enough on top that I don't spill out, but doesn't cut into my roots at all. My only quibble is that the back closure materials can be a little scratchy on my sensitive skin for the first few wears. Full review on my blog!

After the previous Gorsenia bra that I tried in size 65E was too small...

About 6 years ago, I began my journey to find a bra that fits. It has taken me through hundreds of bras across dozens of brands. By now I have a small - but mighty - collection of bras that are a great fit, bras that are very comfortable, and bras that are very beautiful. The rest of the pieces in my stash are either no longer my size and/or just too cute to part with. Normally I preface even my most positive reviews here with caveats about something that wasn't quite right. It gapes here, it wrinkles there, it cuts in, it won't stay put, the band ... tension is uneven, etc. Losing weight along the way has made it even more tricky to nail down my size and a great fit that I could replicate. When I first ventured into Polish bras and Comexim in particular, I struggled at first to find the right alterations and it seemed hopeless as bra after bra *kinda* fit, but something was off. When I did get a plunge style that fit, I ordered 4 more and none of them fit like the first one.

Over the years I've found some decent fits across a few brands and some very pretty stuff (RIP Fauve) but that special a-ha "perfect fit" moment I saw others experience had eluded me. Until now! This set is everything I dreamed of: uniquely beautiful, supremely comfortable, and a fun pattern with custom alterations to the bra and the briefs. My review is coming in a bit late, but I'm glad I managed to snag Aida before she disappeared. The set was literally made for me (thank you, Comexim, I don't know where I'd be without you) and it fits more perfectly than any other bra I've tried. I finally found my best alteration combination: 3HC with overlapping gore, straps moved in, and - the wildcard that paid off - added depth at the wire. In my current size (60HH) I don't need narrower wires or reduced cups or a taller or shorter gore or anything else I had been messing with to no avail. Now I'm desperate to try this cut it in an unlined style and see if it works with that, too. Full review on the blog!

I absolutely love the look of this bra, but the 3HC cut is simply too wide and shallow for me. This was my third attempt at a 3HC Victoria and my last 3HC. It's a lost cause. I've written a comparison review of this and 2 other Victorias (70HH and 65HH) on my blog.

My third and final Victoria 3HC fail...
