**EDIT** thank you Loxus for telling me about bra band tension. I previously wrote about slight gapping and gore digging in, but that issue has now been resolved so I am omitting it in this review. If you experience an uncomfortable gore, gapping, and a band riding up in the back, check out this blog post: http://widecurves.com/its-your-bra-band-tension/


I am so glad I ordered a 65 band, phew these are tight compared to my Freya bras! for reference, my snug underbust measurement is 27.6 inches. this fits like a deeper, more projected, higher quality and prettier Freya Deco. I’d even venture to say the Ewa Michalak 30 bands are tighter than Freya 28 bands :0 I have learned through this bra that I am quite projected, with narrow roots, and upper+inner fullness. I cannot use the cookies as my breasts push the cups outward and create an artificially tight band.

This bra has perfectly narrow wires for my shape which is amazing, they don’t dig into breast tissue or extend to my back like a lot of other UK/US brands. I will say, however, that the material isnt especially soft or comfortable, the lace is a bit scratchy but that is just personal preference and something I got used to very quickly. The lace at the tops of the cups are not sewn into the bra- you can flip it as it is only attached at one end, I am not sure of the purpose for this but I wasn’t a fan as it could move and show as weird wrinkles through tight and thin tops. The material on the straps isnt very comfy either, it seems stiff and uncomfortable. hoping this will go away with wear and wash.

The nude and lace design is beautiful, and I love the detailing with the straps and the complimentary, removable decoration ones for a more sexy look. The bows at the tops are also very cute. I wish the straps could be shorter tho, the extra strap hooks on the sides can be an issue for those who need shorter straps. The jewel detailing at the gore is also very subtle and beautiful, i appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail with Ewa Michalak. I will definitely be trying more of her bras in different styles and will be keeping this lovely bra.

This bra is not owned any more

  The band may be riding up due to uneven band tension. If you fix the band tension the slight gapping at the top of cup may be fixed too:
