YES it arrived today: My very first Ewa bra!!

This bra made quite a journey to get to me: it was shipped from Poland to be stocked at Zathiya in the U.S., then I ordered it to be sent back overseas to the Netherlands.. Add stupid custom fees and you get the picture; I paid too much for this bra $:

Let's forget about that, because I'm so in love with the print & total look of this bra (: Colors, flowers, neon lace.. It's like a fairy floral funfair explosion! Very 'kitsch', which I adore.

The fit is pretty good, considering I didn't know my EM size. If available I would have gone for 70GG - but that was completely sold out. Luckily some nice Bratabaser had added the measurements for this 70H, they seemed within my margins so I went for it.. And it turned out pretty well, it looks and feels good I think!

Perhaps the cups are sliiightly too deep; my smaller breast has some gapping on top. Nothing major, but I personally prefer slightly small over slightly large bras (and I think EM bras are generally meant to be more of a 'compressed' fit in the cup?)

Cup width seems good, confirms my idea of needing narrower wires than Panache / Curvy Kate etc. (even if wider wires are not actually uncomfortable for me, so I'm not replacing my entire bra collection (; )
Funnily the gore is fine: I don't like high gores and the S style was said to have a raised gore, so I worried about that. But it's no problem at all!

Biggest issue is the straps being too wide set: no surprise because I had heard this could be an issue on EM bras. We'll see how it goes with daily wear, maybe I'll change the strap position. All in all size-wise, the 70GG would have been perfect I think. But this 70H is totally wearable and I'm very happy to have it!

Some minor nit-picking issues: I'm kind of a sucker for symmetry and this floral print is pretty different on the right versus left cup. Ewa does mention this when using printed fabric and it's completely understandable. Still I would have loved a bit more 'balance'. Next about the bright pink lace: that's not a perfect match to the fabric (as other reviewers have mentioned) but I think it's still fun looking. However, the lace is stitched over the outer edge of the white inner cup. So this white 'cup lining' is visible through the lace, which seems vaguely sloppy to me?

Lastly, I ordered both briefs and thong and they're very comfy + stretchy. My hips + bum need a large (UK 14 / EU 42-L) in briefs, and I usually tend to size up in thongs (e.g. in Curvy Kates I mostly get size 16). This thong was M / 40 - last size and I really wanted it - but BTB member Tanzi reassured me that they ran large. Aisha at the webshop confirmed this and it really fits! Size is in fact similar to the briefs which I got in a larger size, 42.

So in short: Love the set, both bra and briefs/thong are great. Symmetry of the print could be better and I have some very minor fit issues. I'll probably order my next Ewa S style (yes Kicia, I mean YOU!) in a 70GG. But all in all, my first EM is a success!

• I often don't like super bright florals but this looks adorable! The fit, visually at least, is spectacular, so I'd say you should have no regrets on sizing. I saw a review of this somewhere a few days ago (not here, but I can't find it by googling) that was kind of a tight fit in the cups, and the lift and shape were not as good as what you're getting here with a tiny bit more room.

• Thanks dbmamaz and wendybien !

  Yeah the gapping is less visible in the pictures. I think changing the strap placement will also help a lot with that.

  Feel really glad / lucky I found it and that it looks and fits well :)

• This looks absolutely amazing on you. And those colors are so awesome.

• Thanks :3 and yeah such a shame it's discontinued! Kwiaty should be a continuity style at Ewa's if you ask me ;)
