Ewa Michalak S versus PL comparison (80JJ)

For anyone interested, I did a comparison on the PL Toffik and the S Porcelanka, both in 80JJ. I just received both yesterday. I don't know how to post a link to it and I can't even find the comparison on bratabase anymore. Maybe someone can help find it?

The main difference I see between the S and the PL models is that the wires on the S are higher on the side by about 1/2 inch and more narrow - by about an inch. Also, the center cup panel is 1/2 inch wider at the bottom, the outer cup panel is 1/2 inch wider at the top, and the top horizontal panel at the top of the cup is about an inch taller, making the cup come up about an inch higher. To me, it seems this would make the overall cup volume a little bigger as well as adding coverage at the top.

The band on the Toffik PL fits well on the loosest hook and could possibly be worn on tighter hooks if I didn't care about breathing. LOL The S Porcelanka, however, might cause me to pass out if I wore it without an extender. That is, of course, if I could get it hooked without several assistants. LOL

The PL Toffik straps are fully adjustable, but the S Porcelanka straps only adjust a few inches. They are borderline too long for me and are adjusted all of the way. Based on my experience with the PL Stalowka, They will need to be shortened before long. But the softness of the straps is wonderful and reason enough to keep the bra and make this very minor alteration - if, that is, the bra fit elsewhere. I don't think the S bra is the bra for me, however, because the wires are too high under the arm - a common problem for me. That half inch is a fit killer.
