This review is for the Ewa Michalak S Queen in 80F EU (36F UK), color Black. My ABTF size is 32FF/34F UK.
*Note: this bra is not on the Ewa site. I think it was a special commission. I bought it used in excellent condition.
Band:
* Very tight. This fits like a 32 or maybe a tight 34. Has 3 hooks by 4 columns. (I knew this when I bought it.)
Wires:
* Very narrow at 5.5 inches wide in the 80F.
Cups:
* 3 part cup, with 1 vertical seam and one horizontal. The cups are PADDED and do come with removable cookies. (Pics are without cookies.)
Straps:
* The straps are fully adjustable and comfortably stretchy. Like all EM bras like this, the straps definitely cut in to my TOS.
Fabric:
* The fabric is embroidered and very comfortable, no chafing at all.
Hardware:
* The hardware is black. The gore has a little crown for jewelry as well as a bow.
About me: very close set (breasts touch), very narrow roots, very projected at the wire, full on bottom, short roots, soft tissue, significant rib flares, narrow shoulders.
FIT
* The band is very small. I'm a 32 but prefer a 34 for my rib flares, this should be a 36 but at 32 the wires start to distort, so I think it fits like a 32 or 34.
* The wires are wonderfully narrow at this size.
* The gore tacks hard for me. The wire casings are slightly overlapped providing .625 (5/8") for a gore width.
* The cups are an interesting shape; I've since learned this is normal for the S style. They come up sharply from the bottom wire to provide a lot of lift. I do get insane cleavage with this.
* The straps are plenty long enough and fully adjustable.
* The sides are a comfortable height for me.
OVERALL IMPRESSION
* This bra is beautiful. It definitely fits. I just have to decide if I want that much cleavage. If I take both thin cookies an put them in my smaller side the fit is great. I've only worn it to measure so I don't know about comfort over time. The wires are a deep U and will definitely bother my rib flares over time, but all bras do.
