The MP is a new construction based on the 3D. Truskawki z malinami is the first MP to be released. At the same time, Ewa Michalak released the Truskawki z malinami in the S construction.
If you ordered and received an Ewa Michalak Truskawki z malinami but are disappointed with its fit, you may have received the wrong bra! I ... ordered an MP but received an S. I didn’t realize this at first, as there was no style designation on my bra. Another Bratabaser ordered an S but received an MP. The style name was noted on one of her bra’s tags. After comparing measurements of our bras (thanks Bratabase!), we realized Ewa Michalak’s error. Before this revelation, we had been trying to communicate with the company about our respective bras. We have both been stonewalled.
I posted a Bra Adventure on July 30, 2014, about the construction error in my 65F Ewa Michalak MP Truskawki z malinami. I wanted to warn everyone Ewa Michalak’s Facebook fit advice about the MP was incorrect where gore height is concerned. That fit advice has since been deleted from their Facebook page. My Bratabase entry has been corrected to reflect my bra is the S style.
As you can see from my S Truskawki z malinami’s measurements, its center gore is typical for an S bra. It is about 2.5” high, an inch higher than 3D gores. This is my fit issue with this bra, as there is no space between my breasts once you get above the 1.5” mark.
Other than that, this bra fits well in 65F without the removable pads Ewa includes to correct asymmetry. This bra fits much like my six 65F 3D bras (Szafirek, Trapez, Szykus, Satine, Karmelki, Pieprzyk). The S Truskawki z malinami does not have the significantly higher coverage cups and lower than usual sides of the 3D Bambino, a bra I gave away.
The S Truskawki z malinami's materials are all soft and attractive, as in my Pl Onyks. I love the juicy color. No grayed, pasteled, toasted, or muted color here. The texture of the outside of the cups reminds me very much of the outside cup texture of the Pl Onyks. The padding is similar, too. It feels very plush but a tad thicker than that in my 3Ds. This padding resembles in thickness that of my Pl Onyks. The cups are lined with cotton, as usual in an Ewa Michalak bra.
The hook and eye area is normal and comfortable. Nothing is scratchy or rough. The last few 3Ds I've gotten have been so poorly finished, I have to wear a cotton pad beneath the hook/eye area of four of them. Several hand washings in Forever New, followed by air drying, have not resolved the issue.
In a serendipitous coincidence, the Bratabaser who received an MP, instead of the S she had ordered, received a 65F. At least Ewa Michalak got that right. As her MP is too shallow for her, and I’m willing to risk excessive cleavage in it, we are exchanging bras. Thanks to Jj’s generosity, even our shipping will be reimbursed. We will each receive the right bra, no thanks to Ewa Michalak.
[Bratabaser vesela_krava, in response to my Bra Adventure plea, kindly offered to translate the text of an email I wanted to send Ewa Michalak into Polish. My lengthy email was calm and thorough, making it clear I wasn’t seeking a refund or reimbursement to ship the bra back. I merely sought confirmation of their error so I could purchase another MP and get an actual MP. When several days had passed and no one replied to my three emails (twice sent directly from my personal email account to klep@ewa-michalak.pl">sklep@ewa-michalak.pl and once embedded in the Contact Form on their website), vesela_krava emailed and phoned them repeatedly on my behalf. She is a native Polish speaker. She *finally* got through to someone on the phone, not Dominik, who admitted they had sent the wrong bra! I mention this so you all know vesela_krava is like an angel, but with more bra knowledge.]

Yes, you'd always want to check your cycle (where you are and whether it's regular) and for signs of pregnancy and cancer, when the breasts change. I'm safe and the same thing has happened before. As you would expect after 20+ years in the wrong bras. I'm putting this here because it's often mentioned that migration is painful and I have searched but never found a detailed description of it so there's a need to discuss it.
Actually it's a little of both. The pain started when I've been in bras and they are all too small now, but I haven't I worn one in days and it comes and goes. There's some release when I push the tissue forward. I've done the opposite for science and that's very uncomfortable.
I think the last time migration happened was when I started getting a crease at the outer side of the breasts and that time the pain was quite far back under the armpit. This time it kind of looks like that crease is spilling over and the pain has moved forward and spreads from the outer edges of the breasts.
Pain is subjective, but to me this is not the same soreness as I get during PMS. It's not distributed within the whole breast, nor are there any lumps. It's an intense version of the soreness when the breasts haven't had good support in a while and feel "tired".
Ok, time to forget the pain and shift focus!
