I love this bra. I wanted to wait to write a review until I wore it a full day, but I can't.

The color is slightly different in person. It's somewhat difficult to capture. It's like a gray tinted mauve. I guess technically mauve is gray tinted, but this is..more so.

I'm going to be writing in my blog soon, if I can figure Wordpress out on my phone, so for colors that are difficult to capture, I'll add color examples of what this and other bras I own actually look like irl. I guess for the most part, the pictures are pretty accurate.

The straps and center bow are ... a delicate, pink tinted lavender.
The fabric is very satin-y, which is something I've been looking for for quite a while.

Cups and up front and centered. I definitely think I like the Ch/Chp better than the 3D, MP, and Pl.
The 3D tapers off slightly so it doesn't totally hold my boobs in the center. I believe that's the way the bra is supposed to fit, looking at other 3D's and the fit on EM models, but it's not a favorite.
I should note that I don't dislike it either though, I think I've just discovered that Ch is my favorite from what I have from EM so far. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

These cups leave some space in the center and taper up, slightly. That sort of fit doesn't normally work for me, but this is still low enough, not too tapered, and not moulded, so it ends up working out.

Speaking of which, similar to Comexim and my Lawenda Ch, the Paris Paris is pretty lightly padded. A little more than Comexim, but not by much.

Center wires are still touching, and as always,wires are narrower and centered.
Padding is plushy and super comfortable as I've experienced with my other Ewas and Comexims.

The band on this is the tightest of the bras I received. I haven't taken measurements yet, but I'm going to guess it stretches to about 28", maybe 28.5" because I can still hook it, it's just a little uncomfortable and I'll be wearing it with an extender for now.

Cups give a nice rounded look. I'd say the cups in the Paris 3D are a bit different than the cups in my Rapsodia Pl and my Lawenda Ch. The Ch seems to run large, Pl runs about TTS, and the 3D seems to be just a tiny bit little less deep than the Pl.
I don't believe I can wear the pads with this, but I probably wouldn't size up either.

I started wearing bras that were too roomy, and my boobs would float around in the cups after a while, so at this point, I'd rather have a slightly small cup than a slightly big one.

The shape it gives is similar to the Pl, but perhaps a little less cleavage-y, even with the pads and seeming a tiny bit too small with them in.
I think that may be because the Pl was cutting in at the centers a bit, but even with the pads out and not cutting in, I think it was more of a cleavage bra.

Overall, really love the bra. Love the pink tinted, lavender lace detailing on top of the cups.
Comfort is an 8/10 for me.

I'd recommend this to anyone more narrow rooted, who has closer set to maybe 1-2 finger width distance between boobs. I think this bra could work with that. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Shape-wise. I've gotta say, I'm new to EM, and I feel like her bras are intended for either FoT, even, or soft tissue FoB. Her cups seem to increase in depth as the cups get higher. I think this is intended for pushup effect. Firm FoB might work. I really don't know for sure because I'm just getting acquainted with these bras and this is my first 3D.

In any case, I'd still recommend anyone who needs narrower wires to try EM and Comexim bras no matter what their shape.

The Paris 3D in particular I think would work with slightly FoT, slightly FoB, or even. Either extreme I could see having some fit issues, such as needing to size up or possibly cup gap.

For anyone with a similar frame + size, I haven't experienced any problems with the straps. I measure about 11" across from collar bone to collar bone end (at shoulders). Maybe that can help someone else who has a smaller frame estimate if the straps should work ok for them also?
I saw that was an issue with EM, so I'd like to keep addressing it in my reviews (and edit+add to those I've forgotten!).

This bra is absolutely gorgeous! The fabric is really smooth and shiny and feels quite luxurious.
I really love the construction of the cups. It pushes my tissue up and to the center, giving me a really full look. The cups do seem a little small, but I don't find the need to size up as I like the effects it gives. The only thing I don't like is how pointy it is at first, but the pointedness softens with wear. I think Ewa updated the new 3D's to have slightly closer straps than their older models.
This particular fabric is true ... to size in the band, stretching to about 30.5 inches. Ideally, I should have ordered a 55FF, but I am able to alter it myself and didn't want to spend an additional $6 for someone else to do it.

Update: The pointyness on this bra never went away (Though I haven't worn it much at all)! My boobs have gotten a little fuller and now it looks kind of strange under a shirt- its like pointy at one area then rounded at the top.

A really pretty bra which feels very soft and silky to the touch. The cups are a pinky-brown colour which I had difficulty capturing in the photographs (it looks lighter in real life) and the straps and lace are light pink. It comes with quite substantial removable padding! The band fits like a true 30, and as I normally wear a 28 I found it a little loose.

I'd previously tried the 3D style in a 65D, and this was certainly a better fit. However I did feel that, as with the smaller size, the cups were too wide and too widely-set, meaning I had empty space at the ... sides of the cups and quadboob at the centre. I get nice cleavage with or without the pads (I included photos of both), but it feels a bit more like a cleavage bra than a well-fitting bra. So y'know, obviously I'm keeping it! For comparison, the PL I tried in the same size seemed to have more space at the centre though was still too wide. Other than that it's quite comfortable, though had a tendency to sit a bit too low. If the 3D style suits you then it's definitely worth a look.

This bra has become one of my every-week, always in rotation bras. It seems to melt away when I'm wearing it! The actual fabrics on the whole of the bra are so incredibly soft, and have give without seeming to be too stretchy. The deep grey-tinged lavender colour is to die for, in my opinion. The gore on this bra is incredibly low, allowing for a cleavage I never thought was possible before going Polish. Usually in plunge bras, if the cups are not perfectly narrow enough for my boobs or are too shallow at the bottom, my boobs push the cups down, causing the wires to sit too low on my ribs, causing not-very nice red marks and pain. However, this bra is of course very narrow on the sides and is probably the bra that most closely matches the shape of my tissue.

I typically wear Ewa Michalak 65E Ch/Chps, and I've recently noticed them being a tad small. However, I think this 3D fits me without the quadding I've been getting in the CHs. The cup shape is more open on top, but not quite as deep as the CH/Chps.

I'm entering the 65DD Ewa Michalaka 3D Paris Paris bra's measurements into Bratabase for reference. I didn't try it on because 65F is my size in 3D. This 65DD, two cups off, was sent by mistake.

The outer fabric is soft, pinkish brownish gray satin. Soft, muted pink lace lighter than the cups. The fully adjustable straps match the lace in color. A bow in the same color accents the center gore. The colors on EM's website are accurate.
