I love this bra! The band is VERY tight, so depending on my mood and how much I ate that day I sometimes wear it with an extender on the tightest hook (extenders always extend too much for me, even as tight as possible). I also wear it with cookies because I get a little gapping on top if I don’t — this could totally be fixed by tightening the straps if the straps weren’t like seven inches away from the rest of the bra. And yes, these are for sure the notorious ultra wide Ewa Michalak straps. The underwires sit very close to my IMF and are perfectly narrow for my larger/slightly wider side. This is the closest to plain black bra I have that’s both comfortable and fits, and I really like it! It functions as a fully black bra. I also like the removable extra straps, though one of the clips wasn’t open enough to attach where it was supposed to, and I had to grab a pair of pliers. No biggie, but it seemed odd since all the other hooks on the attachable straps were fine. The bra is comfortable to wear other than the wide-set straps, and I’m really happy with it!

This bra is not owned any more

• Do the little removable straps help keep the main bra straps more centered and out of your armpits at all? I know for some Elomis and Curvy Kates the strappy styles can have that advantage.
  What kind of extender are you using--does it have a piece of elastic in the middle or does it just look like the rectangular elements at the ends of a bra band, no elastic? (Does that make sense lol)

• Fantastic!

• wendybien so sorry, I suddenly got super busy. I haven't worn the bra with the removable straps very often at all because they're irritating to attach when they're removable, unlike the extra straps on my CH Cherry (though I do appreciate that they are removable). I don't believe they really help, though, since in order for them to do any adjusting of the main straps I would probably have to adjust them tighter than I prefer.
  I honestly just ordered the first bra extenders I saw on Amazon. They do have elastic, and it's irritating because every time I use one on any of my bras the band starts fitting like a 32. I may order different ones -- I'd love recommendations if you have any, and I'm not attached to ordering specifically from Amazon!
