Didn't fit

Very short, projected, slightly narrow, center full, close set, even breasts...

A beautiful man wanted to buy our (daughter and me) lunch. It must have been the bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

For months, I have wanted a CH: the most immediately projected Ewa Michalak model. The Ch Cherry was available as were condemning reports of its dimensions and durability. I waited. Thank you, vesela_krava for offering Ch Karmelki here!! 80E is a sister size of 65G. After hours researching the measurement tables, I knew a larger band would yield wider cups in a sister size. Predictably, the band is a bit big. However, I wore it for four hours, including inside the Children's Museum, and it moved upward one inch. Impressive. This is the first Ewa Michalak that is both short enough and projected enough for my breasts. My only hope is Ewa Michalak produces more Ch models...AND narrows and overlaps gores. Who am I kidding? The narrowing and overlapping alterations will happen only in an alternate universe.

Still this bra's gore is too wide. But, it appears the alteration will work perfectly. The cup will open and there will be room for cookies in these empty cookie pockets.

Sincerely, I hope Comexim creates a Ch-like halfcup soon. Comexim beige cookie pocket lining is fabulously soft. Their wires more forgiving. And, their numerous alterations/cusomizations are free....er....have been free. Soon, Comexim will, understandably, charge for alterations. Until then, I will cherish this Ch Karmelki <3

EDIT: After I narrowed and overlapped the gore, the weight of my breasts shifted. This caused the wire to dig into what I guess is a rib flare. So, I'm removing the alteration and using a "riser" (narrower slice of a thick, hemp cloth diaper insert) to lift the gore. This allows the force to tranfer from the wires into the riser and onto my sternum in a 1/4" wide area. This "riser" is helping reduce gore discomfort in several other bras, too.
