This was my first bra from Ewa Michalak. I was unsure of my sizing and chose S Orzechowa Pralinka because the band was said to be really tight so maybe I wouldn’t need a custom order. Also, I didn’t really have a nude bra. I sized up from my average UK size 28FF as the Polish bras are usually described to run smaller.
Esthetically, S Orzechowa Pralinka is very pretty for a beige bra. It has a beautiful pearl center gore detail and a lovely soft, subtly shiny fabric that works very well for my skin tone. Unfortunately, although the band may be tight for a 65, it’s still ... way too big for my 26" underbust. I also get some gaping in at the top of the cups, especially near the center gore (although I have center fullness). Wearing the pads doesn’t really help the issue. I thought that I could make this bra work by tightening the straps and wearing it on the tighter hooks. It would still function pretty well as a T-shirt bra, but after seeing how much better the S fits me in 60FF, I think I’ll let this one go. As a lover of colors, lace and florals, I don’t feel that I need a nude bra that almost fits.

This is so pretty! I love how the bra is covered in lace all over. I kind of missed lacy bras when I started wearing fuller-bust bras. Ginger is composed of beige fabric overlaid by white lace and decorated with brown bows. Straps are the same beige ones used for Ingrid. I like how the color looks on my skin (although it’s a bit too pale to be nude) and I think it would work well on many skin tones.

Ginger is Comexim’s “deep plunge” cut, which is slightly more wide and shallow than their standard plunges. My breasts are projected and narrow but not too extremely so, and ... my standard Comexim plunges seem to have some empty space at the apex, so I thought that I could get away with the shape. Unfortunately, there’s pretty bad bulging near the center gore. It’s worse in reality than what it looks like in the pictures. It still doesn’t show under a shirt, though. Ginger doesn’t seem capable of handling center fullness very well. I’m sad because I would love the super low gore! Not sure if sizing up would help here.

Despite the quadding, Ginger felt pretty comfortable for the short time I’ve tried it. The band has 3x3 hooks and it fits nice and snug. The cups are very lightly padded. The edges of the cups are very smooth and I think that it would function well as a t-shirt bra. I would recommend Ginger for someone with slightly wider-set or shallow breasts looking for a great cleavage and something pretty and practical.

I was going to do a positive review and then I put this on and realized how badly it cuts into my boobs. Oh well.

This bikini is incredibly adorable! It looks like Minnie Mouse. I like the color combination and the shape of the neckline. The decorations at the edge of the cups really make the style. They are a bit impractical though, since they are made from thin strings which can gather sand and mud when swimming in a sea/lake. This doesn’t give an incredible uplift or shape, but good enough for a bikini and still keeps the girls decently in place. It’s also comfortable overall, although ... the neck tie does put some pressure on the neck.

I got this originally in 28E, and then repurchased in 28F after it got way too small. Although I’ve been wearing some newer Freya swimwear purchases more recently, I now realize that this style might actually fit better. It’s not ridiculously wide like some of the padded options. It offers some degree of projection, although still not a huge amount. My biggest issue here is that the trim at the edge of the cups cuts into my close-set, center-full breasts. It’s still not horribly visible, though, and the fit becomes a bit more flexible when the suit is wet. The closed edge does manage to keep my boobs somewhat separated, which I appreciate in something that I wear in public. The gore is luckily very low and doesn’t bother at all. The band feels a bit tighter than standard Freya, and feels snug enough for my 26 inch underbust (at least as a halterneck).

Another slight minus I have of this bra is that it’s unpadded. I’m not a fan of nipple show-through, and it’s cold in Finland! I also got the brief in size XS. Freya bottoms are usually rather loose for me even in the smallest size, but the swimwear seem to run a bit tighter. These fit rather snug, but are still a bit too high rise in the back for my taste.
