This is my first ever Ewa Michalak bra and I can see what the hype is all about.

When I first put on this bra, I couldn't help but laugh a bit. I look like something out of a porny anime. I will include the pic from slightly under the bust so you can see what I mean. I took all the pics like this because I thought it was the best the bra would fit. Then I took it off and discovered it has removable cookies. These cookies are the largest I have ever seen because they actually go the full length of the wire along the bottom. They are not thick, just long and somewhat tall. This makes them actually not miserable to have in the cup, but it is really not necessary for me in this size. With the cookies remove, the fit is much improved. I no longer have quadding at the top and the gore is very close to tacking. I am just ordered the 36JJ/80JJ so I can see if I can get the gore to tack.

All this said, the straps are, as expected, too wide-set for me. The good news is that this set of straps looks exceptionally easy to move inward and I don't believe it will affect the fit much.

And it is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I can't get over how pretty the flowers are on the lace and this tiny little jewel on the bow.

  I’m so glad I saw you posted this, I just had a virtual fitting with Judy from Levana Bratique and she suggested an 80JJ for the padded EM bras, was planning on ordering that same one. 😆

  Your description of the fit reminds me of how the 80HH - Ewa Michalak » Pl Cappuccino (316) and 36G - Panache » Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) fit me. 🤣

  This is too funny. I'm going to upload pictures in just a moment or two, so stay posted. By the way, where do you order your Kris Line from and do you recommend them?

  I order from eBay, there’s a gal in Poland who has like multiple accounts on there that she sells the Kris Line from, her name is Magda. I like Kris Line, but I’m having a tough time tacking down my size because of how much it’s changed. My 75K bras just fit too tight, but the 80K seems too big in the cup. I should probably try an 80JJ for Kris Line to see if it fits better, but I feel like I’m putting more effort into Ewa bras right now. I definitely love the unlined styles though, they’re pretty and fit great when you get the size right! Fortuna is a favorite and it’s part of their main line so it’s readily accessible. I’ve never tried the semi-soft or padded bras so I don’t have any recommendations for those.

  Ooh, I love how the bra looks even though it isn’t the right size! The S Antonina looks much better than the BM Antonina to me, idk why. Probably because I couldn’t get the right fit in the BM one, it was always just torpedo shaped!

  This is awesome info and a great starting point. I am very much still in the trying stuff out phase of finding bras in my size, so buying something unreturnable seems intimidating. But I might have to try out a Kris Line or two once I get more comfortable!

  Magda does take returns on eBay, but you have to pay return shipping. It ended up being $14 for me on the West coast US, so that’s something to consider. PayPal has some return reimbursement program where they’ll pay for return shipping for up to 12 returns if the purchase is PayPal, but I’ve never tried it.
