Love, love, love how this looks on! White-ivory lace over a darker beige main fabric. Fit is perfect with an extender - without, it fastens, but just barely. On a "skinny" day, the cups still fit well - narrow, deep, and great projection at the wire - but if my weight fluctuates even a little bit upward, the band becomes unwearably tight, pulls the wires a little too wide and therefore results in the cups being a little too shallow while cutting in a little on my bigger boob. I think 75F might have been a better fit, but it was out of stock at Levana in this ... style when I ordered so here we are. I love how it looks so much that I'm willing to work with it a little - I'll try it out with an extender for a little while and see how it goes. I'm still losing weight so it may be a better fit, or stretch out in the band soon (hopefully slowly with an extender).

Since transitioning to mostly bralettes for the past couple of years (COVID/lockdown/WFH, weight gain and a little loss), it turns out that alllll of my old underwired collection is either too small or I just can't be bothered to compromise anymore on their various fit and/or shape mismatch issues. So, I'm starting the search for underwired bras that fit all over again - which specifically means finally narrowing down which Ewa Michalak sizes/cuts work best for me. So far, it's looking pretty simple: BM...and...that's it (well, also CHP if it's an in-your-face with my boobs kinda day, and if I can find any in 75F in literally any style). It's so frustrating having to send back so many things that don't fit, but I'm reminding myself it's worth being choosier so that history doesn't repeat itself and I wind up with 30 (!!) bras that don't fit again. (Seriously. I listed 30 bras on here after cleaning out my closet.) So I'm crossing my fingers that this one pans out! If not, my loss will be your gain, and it will join the rest of the listing bunch!

Fits on smaller end of the month, but too small on bottom or at bra frame most of the time. I think this was not the case when I first got it, leaving me with the naggin sense that Antonina shrank when washed, although common sense says that is unlikely.

Buttery smooth warm toned beige duoplex lining, under medium weight lace with pale champagne toned accents in it. The upper cup, ... band and wing are made of the same materials, so the wing stretches like newer Panache styles do, instead of stabilize wires. Upper cup gives a bit for fluctuation. but not as much as my SF does. Wires seem to be a heavier less springy type than most polish brands, typical of Ewa but not same as thick ones used elsewhere in the industry. There is some stretch to the straps, but they're rather stiff and immobile so wouldn't expect much give from them, if one is hoping or a longer strap for deeper, curved shoulders.
