Through my best friend, I got a pretty good understanding about bras and sizing and such probably a decade or more ago, but I got a much bigger understanding about bras, fits, characteristics, and Polish bras probably 4-5 years ago. At the time, I was measuring somewhere in the 30E/F UK range. At the time, my other friend that was teaching me about Polish bras sent me her 65F - Ewa Michalak » Mp Kleksik (609) to try and gage sizing despite being a discontinued style. This led me to my first Ewa Michalak bra from the listings (as I had to send my friend her ... bra back). About 3 years ago, I gained a little weight and I soon needed a cup size up and took a 65FF or 70F. Then I lost a lot of weight this year and I no longer fit them, so I figured that as I’m measuring about the same as I was before, I would give a 70E/65F a try again, as my 70E - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Black (1000) was fitting me better than when I bought it and was still a little larger (this one runs a bit bigger than most BMs).
So I was approached to do a trade with one of my listed sets, and I picked this set to do it with. Boy am I so pleased!!! I was nervous about the band being snugger, but was assured that it was a little relaxed from the initial measurements. And it’s not a lace band so I had hoped that it would not be too tight. And technically my snug under bust measurement is a little bit smaller now.
The band is still snug but I think it’s ok. I might have to ease into it like the 28G - Comexim » Onyks Non-padded Half Cup Underwire Bra (CMONYK. But I’m ok with that. Or even use an extender briefly. The cup width and depth seem to be perfect for me and I think the height is ok. The only bad thing about the fit is the typical wide Ewa straps. The extra bows on the straps were cut off by a previous owner and I am completely ok with that. I personally hate them.
The teal lace is just stunning, and while the pink accents are not my favourite, I think they do look good. The colours are kind of reminiscent of the Syrena bras. This bra is much better on me that the one I traded it for.
I think the fit is good. The matching bottoms are perfect too. I could probably have done a size smaller but this size fits me comfortably.
***********************
Just wanted to update my review a little bit now that I have worn it some...I did hold off on wearing the 3 new bra sets until I figured out how many sets or bras I had that fit (or mostly fit) for rotation purposes. I’d still like a few more that fit a bit better, but I decided to start wearing them. This one is a snugger band, as mentioned, but it’s completely doable for a full day at work. The only fit issue or concern that I have is that I gape a little bit at the strap and cup connection, though I think it’s more the functionally short roots from soft, pendulous, fob tissue. I suspect that a cup size down will be too small.
All in all, I really love this set!

so cute, I love it!
Fit looks 10/10!
you know, it's not really "crazy" in my book. Just b/c it has the two different colours...almost looks a little sporty with the stripe down the side. : )
