My first BM bra and it's amazing! I think this bra is really made for my breast shape (tall roots, deep projected narrow very center full breasts) and the 70K seems like the best size for me in this bra. The band fits like it should, quite snug but I can fit 2 fingers under it. I think it is true to size for a 70 band, stretching to 82cm (32inch). The wires are narrow and I don't have empty fabric on the sides for once. The cups are very deep and projected and offer room where I need it. The gore tacks and lies flat. So it's ... great to notice that if a bra like BM Antonina that offers enough center room and projection the gore will tack.

What I noticed compared to my 70K - Ewa Michalak » Sf Gładzioch Beż (849) that the cups are taller and there is more coverage. This is a good thing for me since I have breast tissue that comes of very high and many bras cut in. I also noticed that the gore and the wings are a little bit taller than on my SF. This makes it more supportive for me. The shoulder straps are wide but don't adjust long enough. It's just okay when I have them on the loosest possible setting, but they should not be any shorter!

The shape of this bra is very front and center and projected. I really like this because in my opinion it looks better on my body shape than if my boobs are east - west and wide looking in a bra. From the side my boobs look a bit pointy in profile... almost a bit like a torpedo boob (just a bit) and I'm not sure if I am 100% comfortable with it. I used to hate this look when I was at a bigger bra size because it made my boobs even bigger looking but now I'm okay with it.

The material on this bra is amazing. Online pictures make the lace appear quite bulky and it looks like it would be itchy, but it isn't. The cream white lace on top is super soft and thin (not flimsy) and stretchy. The lower cup is lined with a non stretchy beige colored mesh and the upper cup is lined with a stretchy beige lace. So the upper section of the bra does fully stretch and adjust to the shape of the breast. Also there is no elastic band at the edge of the cups so no cutting in. Yay!

I only wore the bra for a short time but it felt very supportive. I did not have to adjust my boobs nor did I feel any pain from the bra so far. I will update here once I have worn it a few times.

Ok, let me preface this by saying I really dislike white and beige bras. It seems every one I've tried on hasn't fit right for weird reasons that do not make sense. Mot of them are just.... boring looking. I'm a sucker for bold, bright colors, even with my bras.(Which can cause issues while wearing light colored shirts, of course, lol!)
Until now!
I could gush about this bra so so much. It's BEAUTIFUL. I read a bunch of the reviews here, and scoffed in my mind, thinking, "How could a white AND beige-ish colored bra have such great reviews? Must be a fluke." That's why I ignored this particular ... model when Ewa released it earlier this year. I finally caved and bought one on Black Friday, and I am SO GLAD that I did!
This bra is just gorgeous; it's as simple as that. The pictures online don't really show the tan/light brown color lining very well; it looks like it's all cream colored. The lace is, but on top of the tan lining in the cups, it looks like dulce de leche or something. It's really pretty. There's a matching bow at the gore with a little crystal gem decorating it.
This, like all the other BM bras I've tried, fits like a dream. Projected, narrow, lace lays flat on both breasts! It's a magical bra.

Let me say I don’t like white bras. I never have, and thought I never would. And yet, here is a lovely white bra I’m glad I purchased. The lace on this bra is intricate and eye catching. Not your basic white bra at all! The lace has a touch of champagne shimmer to parts of the scalloped lace pattern. You can see more detail on the panty pictures I uploaded. This definitely screams “briadal” as it is mostly marketed as. I wouldn’t call this a stark bright white. It’s a delicate white. Definitely gorgeous, and pictures don’t do the lace detail justice.

This bra has the ... typical BM three part construction and is backed with a tan mesh and stretch mesh. The center gore has a tan mesh keyhole detail with a white center bow that has a diamond pendant hanging from it. The back-band is full lace over tan stretch mesh. There is a 2x4 clasp on the back. The elastic straps are white with a touch of shimmer down the center and it has scalloped edges. The hardware is all white. There are little white bows where the straps meet the front of the cup.

Briefs size 38:
The panties are in my usual side. The front panel is white with lace on the hip area. There are two small white bows where the lace meets the front panel at the leg hole. The back is full lace and not lined. There is a cute white bow at the top on the back of the waistband. All elastic is white and there is a white cotton gusset in the crotch.

Antonina's colour is exactly what I hoped for - on me, in the dead of winter, it'll be nude.

It's a cream coloured lace over nude lining. It create a cafe au lait appearance from afar.

It is stunningly beautiful.

This bra fits to perfection. And I mean perfection. There's no room for error here. Weight must be maintained or I'll bust it. LOL All jokes aside, this is a bra that I'd be able to wear all day every day in perfect comfort, and support heaven. I wouldn't complain if it was a little bit bigger...65G BM's are coming my way from martka00 and I'm curious to compare.

Tack is perfect, band is TTS and is lace all the way around. I love that. I also like that the scalloped edge of the lace trims the band so nicely.

Projection at the wire seems better (i.e. deeper. Deeper is better for me) in this one than in Fluo.

I took (yet another) chance and ordered this bra in 70G, and I have to say, while my smaller side gets considerably less support it feels so so good on my larger side.
The wires are not as narrow as my 70FFs, it has way more coverage and it just doesn't feel as tight.

That being said, if I so much as lose a cm in my boobs, this bra will be too big.

The cups are your typical BM 3 part cups, with the top lace being super stretchy. The inside is lined with a beige mesh, and I have to say from the stock photos I would have thought ... the mesh would be lighter. The lace is pure white--another thing that in stock photos looked a bit more cream to me? But it doesn't matter. This bra is beautiful.
I will say that on my smaller side it feels like I could have gone down in cup with this bra. Even on my larger side I struggle to fill out the cup completely. One thing I'm very scared of is that after a prolonged wear, the bra will not be as supportive. BMs on me tend to do this, after 7-8 hours, they just sort of flop down. I used to think this is because my 70FFs are dangerously close to being small so they slide down and such but I don't know... it might be just how these bras are.

The wires feel a lot better for my larger side, mainly cause they are longer, so really the wings are higher and I feel a little bit more contained. On my smaller side... I mean I already know it will slide down as it's too wide for my smaller side.

The band feels wonderfully snug, not too tight, not loose at all, just right. The gore tacks, is very narrow, blah blah, bra makers take note, this is how you make gores.

I don't think it's gravity defying lol. I mean, there's considerable lift, but maybe it's the size, I'm used to more lift (and compression I guess?) It also looks like my boobs are a little bit wider in this new size, and I feel like maybe my asymmetry is more pronounced in it.

Overall, I'm not disappointed in this bra. It's beautiful, it's supportive, and as long as I maintain my boob it will probably fit. On the plus side, I'm at the beginning of my cycle and so my boobs are at their smallest right now, so maybe going into the month the bra will fill out better?

My stats: 26GG/H according to the ABTF calculator, slightly FOT, firm tissue, tall and narrow roots, center full, close set and functionally high set.

The look:
As WildWolff and Happy2BraShop have said, antonina is the most gorgeous lace ewa has right now. The shimmery champagne details throughout the white is so much prettier in person and any description or picture just can't do it justice. All I can say is it's flattering on all skin tones and undertones somehow and is really just magic. The straps and gore have white bows with rhinestone charms, the band is all lace and all hardware is ... white.

The fit:
This fits so well! The straps are narrower than in 65G so they are functionally closer set and hurt less, the cup height is lower and the gore height is dramatically lower. Overall 65FF is scaled more for petite women vs 65G. The band and cups are super stretchy though and this firt me at the same time a 60H BM fit me, so this lace can be pushed far. The band has always been loose on me though. The gore is just low enough not to hurt me, the wires are just the right width and the starps aren't all that bad. The overall projection and immediate projection are both perfect for me.

Ratings:
Look- 10/10, Fit- 8/10 (9 if band was tighter), Construction- 10/10, Quality- 10/10, Comfort- 8/10

Antonina is a gorgeous set of white lace with some subtle bronze additions woven into the lace. It's extremely elegant and it has a very high end look to it. Antonina looks expensive to me. I love the white bows but I could personally do without the gem, though it is fairly easy to remove with a pair of snips should you choose.

The mesh used to back the lace is just a little too warm to blend into my skin. It's a lovely idea, and I really don't think white or any other color would have been a better choice in this instance.
The bottoms are true to size ... and very comfortable. I have very narrow hips, but an ample butt from years of lifting and the 38 is the best size for me. It's a little loose around my hips but it looks great from behind. The all lace back means no lines at all and it's a cut I quite like. It's very cheeky on me which is my preference.
I also bought the thong, which I will have to take in a little bit, I could have sized down in the thong. It is still lovely and the jersey is very soft.

The band on my Antonina runs more true to size than a lot of the other bras I've been buying lately. This is good in general, but for me it means that I'm on the last or next to last set of eyes already. In my experience, Ewa bras don't really stretch out much with time and wear so this isn't really an issue for me.
The cups are narrow and deep enough for me at the wire. The wires stay in my IMF throughout the day and I have no trouble with them sliding.
The straps are fully adjustable and it's easy to move the slider, it stays put once adjusted.

All in all, no fit major surprises from Antonina.

The one deviation from my other BMs is center projection, there seems to be less room along the gore and it pushes my breast tissue a bit more to the side than my other BMs. It's not terribly uncomfortable because the gore itself isn't wider, and it's not noticeable when I have a top on, but it looks off to me when I look down without a shirt.
Because it doesn't compromise fit or aesthetics when wearing for real, I've decided to ignore this quirk of my bra.

BM Antonina in 60K and 60KK
I ordered this one in both 60K and 60KK during opening weekend to take advantage of the sale price. I am currently between these two sizes for Ewa’s BMs, so depending on the model, I can take either (or as it turns out, sometimes both!)

Now for the bra:
BM Antonina is a full lace cup & band BM style bra in an off white (with beige accents) lace and a darker tan opaque liner. The lace color is lighter than I thought it would be, while the liner is darker. It’s still nice, but not as appealing as the ... stock photos led me to believe it would be. The gore is covered with a sheer material, giving the illusion of a peekaboo gore without the instability that typically comes with one. The cup construction is the typical BM style, with 2 lower vertical sections (1 seam) and 1 upper horizontal section, with an outer wedge area that connects the straps to the cups securely. The upper horizontal section is always made of a stretch lace, and this particular model has the upper lace section lined as well, which can vary by model. This lining doesn’t provide bulk, just modesty so you can’t see the nipples through the bra but does not stop them from showing through a shirt on a cold day. The BM style bra is not padded and provides full and separated coverage.

The band on the 60K measured 22.875” and stretched to 29”, while the 60KK was 22.75” and stretched to 28.25”. While they should have the same give and take to the band, the 60KK definitely felt stiffer. Both bras came with the standard 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

The cup width was 6” for both, with the height on the 60K was 9.5” and 60KK was 10.15”. The depth on the 60K had a conservative measurement of 12.25” (measured with the cup hovered between the knees and the tape measure placed into the cup without any resistance) and stretched over the knee to 15.5”, while the 60KK was 12.75” conservative to a max stretch of 16.5”. The gore is 4” tall and ½” wide for both.

When I measured these 2 bras, I was really leery about the 60KK fitting as it measured much larger than anticipated. Much to my surprise and delight, it does fit, and beautifully at that! Oddly, they both fit, except the 60K doesn’t tack, sitting about 2 fingers off my sternum, with the 60KK giving a soft tack. But the cups fit nicely otherwise and it is comfortable so both are keepers. And although the band on the 60K stretches further, it requires the middle setting for comfort, while the 60KK is comfy loose on the tightest setting…..But the most unique aspect of this bra is its gravity defying ability! It seriously lifts the breasts like no other bra I’ve tried and I now understand the Ewa Instagram photo of Gosik and Gosia in this bra! (If you’ve seen that photo, you’ll know what I mean.) This BM feels as soft as all my other BMs, but it is definitely more supportive and uplifting than the others. I am not sure why, but if I figure it out, I will update this review. ☺

This is at least the 3rd time trying the BM Antonina, but my 1st time reviewing it.

I have a 70GG - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Black (1000) that fits almost identical to this 70GG Antonina. I own so many black/dark colored bras that I wanted something light colored. After an accidental order issue with a special order bra not actually getting ordered by a shop, I had the option to pick an item in stock, and so here we are.

The BM Antonina is a soft cup Ewa Michalak bra made with lace and an inner sling (I guess you’d say it’s mesh) that ... give the “nude” under the lace look. Like I said, it wears almost identical to my Bibi Black. It does have a peak at the apex which I guess causes a “torpedo shape”…honestly, I don’t see it, I didn’t see it in the Bibi either but someone mentioned on that bra that it looks that way. From my view it lifts and rounds the shape giving a more natural looking appearance under shirts. The band is snug, but that’s typical of Ewa bras. I will say, in comparison to the Bibi Black, it’s not quite as snug.

My one issue with the BM bras is they’re slightly too flimsy for someone like me with very soft breast tissue. I notice that the BM style does not contain as well as something with a firmer fabric or elastic along the cups. I may have to try a SF style Ewa Michalak next, as those are advertised as being suggested for containing soft tissue.

BM Antonina 60L

This is my third attempt at the BM Antonina, having tried it in 60K and 60KK prior. While the 60KK fit fine initially, my breasts went through a growth spurt that made all my bras suddenly too small and prompted me to order up a cup. While that growth spurt turned out to just be a temporary 4 week swelling spree, I’d already ordered this and several others in the larger size.

For the measurements:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band ... measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 22.5” and stretches to a max of 27.25”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 13”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16”


I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The cup height is 11” and 6” wide, with a gore of 4.15” tall and 0.55” wide, and the wing is 4.5” tall.
To compare, the 60K Antonina was 15.5” deep and 9.5” tall, while the 60KK was 16.5” deep and 10.15” tall.

As for fit, the gore is 1 finger off my sternum, and the cups feel great. The strap is too wide set for perfect comfort and the upper lace is barely tensed but still wearable, especially at higher tide days. I am mid cycle, closer to low tide than high tide. While this one actually measures smaller in singular depth than my Antonina 60KK, the cup on this one is definitely more spacious for sure. The 60KK is too small at the base of the cup now, while this one feels roomier. I think this fit would technically be classified as too big, but the 60KK is too small, so as long as this one is comfortable on, then I am classifying it as a fit.
