I received this bra about a week ago from jlcl119. Thank you! As I said in my last review for the BM Puder, the BM is my all-time favourite cut, and Fluo marks my seventh. I had a chance to wear it at work the other day, and these are my initial thoughts. First of all, what an awesome colour! It's so bright, vibrant, and fluorescent. This is one bra I won't hesitate to wear under white or light coloured shirts, because it deserves to be shown off in my opinion. The cups are all lace, the band is that silky, stretchy, satiny material (same ... as my Puder and Szafirowa Pantera), and the whole thing is lined in white to really make the colour pop. Also, in my pictures, it makes me look really tan because my poor little iPhone 6 camera can't handle it lol (compare these pics with my pics of Puder; I promise I didn't get a tan in a week!).

When I bought this bra, I was worried that the band would be too big for me, but luckily that is not the case! I can comfortably wear it on the second hook and it stays in place throughout the day. I feel like the band actually doesn't have a lot of stretch in it, but as long as it stays comfortable, I don't mind. The cups are a perfect depth for me, and this bra definitely feels like the "old" construction, which means it feels like it has a lower apex and lower cup height/coverage. This works much better for me, personally. It is most apparent when you compare this with my BM Porto; the cup height on my Porto is 0.3" taller, and if you look at the angled pictures side by side, you can see a dramatic difference in the shape. (I do believe my Porto has softened a bit and rounded out through washing and wearing, though, so it may achieve my preferred silhouette in the future). Fluo gives me a perfectly round and minimized appearance, just the way I like it!

Overall I'm extremely happy to add Fluo to my rotation. Now I just need to find some matching panties!

Fluo's colour, which is her greatest asset, is crazy hard to capture on camera. It's neon cotton candy pink. For anyone who grew up in the 80s, they can reminisce.

I received B Antonina today as well, in the same size, but the 2 bras do NOT fit exactly the same.

Fluo is just not quite as projected at the wire AND the band is a little bit tighter. Not crazily so, just a tiny bit. I'm going to measure tonight to compare the 2. I'll upload the data.

That tiny bit of difference in projection at the cup means that I have a little bit of wrinkling at the ... wire on one side. Not enough to disturb me, though, especially since my breasts, apparently, will continue to drop and soften and be a tiny bit smaller over the next 6 months.

Fluo is comfortable, supportive and definitely fits well enough for me to keep it. Although, as previously stated, I am curious to try 65G in BMs now. I tend to like a lot of coverage in my everyday workhorse bras.

The colour of this bra is a warmer neon pink. I wouldn't say peachy, but definitely pulls on the peachy side. IT IS GORGEOUS. FUN, BRIGHT, JUST BEAUTIFUL. So, so pretty.

The fit is closer to my 75F - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Beżowa Perła (533) than it is to my Bibi Black.

Three part cups at 70FF, with the top being super stretchy lace that moulds to the breasts perfectly. The cups are lined with white tulle (stretchy tulle under the stretch lace). Beautiful lift, beautiful shape, same I get in my other BMs. However, I should note that 70FF is not a perfect sister size ... to 75F. I do get some in cup quadding (however I am on my largest boobs of the month time, so it might be symptomatic of that rather than cups being small). Other than the in cup quadding, and it is really so so slight that you can't even see it until I puff my chest out, it's a wonderful fit.
That being said, I do feel like the stretchy tulle (slippery kind of) at the top causes the lace to sort of slide all around it and sometimes it will slide down to the seam causing some quadding which is not true quadding, just the fact that you have a stretched out lace lying all bunched up at the seam rather than covering the breast. The tulle comically stays in place tho. This is what happened on my larger side, smaller was fine.

The wires are so far the best out of all BMs I tried. No slipping out of my imf on my smaller side at all. I wouldn't be surprised if the wires are on the narrower side when I do the the measurements. I don't see an issue with it on my larger side either, follows the root perfectly, all the breast is in the cup, no wire is sitting on breast tissue. Beautiful.

70FF, the band runs very snug. The band is not uncomfortable at all though, and it does not move when I move and I love it. It is made out of pink stretchy material, however it is also reinforced by another layer of white, a little thicker material. Both the white and pink material are extremely stretchy, but I think the two working together make for the band being so snug. That's okay though, I don't mind. I like my bands tight.
Visually, though, it looks like the pink part of the band is either too stretched out or too loose, depending on how you look at it. The fabric will bunch up and look strained, but it's really not. It's just the difference in tension between the two materials that makes it appear that way (I think it's visible in my photos as well).

The gore overlaps in the middle, tacks perfectly, no issues at all. Nothing is sitting on my breast tissue and it's very very comfortable.

Straps do not adjust long enough, story of my life. But unlike 70FF - Ewa Michalak » Sf Blueberry (1420) it does not seem to cause any neck pain. The straps being wide set also does not bother me in this bra.

Overall, I am happy with my BM Fluo. A beautiful, fun colour and a comfortable bra all over. BM cut works so well with my breasts it makes me wanna cry.

Update after wearing it a while:
Fluo is overall a good fit save for short straps (which give me some shoulder pain). The cups wrap around my breasts perfectly. I do find that toward the end of my cycle I will quad in it, especially on my larger side (duh). The band did not stretch any considerable amount.

Update on 21.12.2018.
This bra is very obviously too small at this point. I have reordered it in one remaining 70G. The band is now a lot looser than it used to be, but not because it stretched, but because I lost a lot of underbust.

I love the bright color of this bra and really was starved for some color from Ewa so I am so glad she put this out. The band, on the other hand, is utterly ridiculous. It has no stretch. It goes from 23" unstretched to 27" with a HARD pull. Honestly, I can't get it on my body because of the lack of stretch. So all pics are taken with a full extender, and that's how I wear it, and it still feels suffocating.

Otherwise I have no complaints. I don't quite fill out the very bottom of the cups, but that applies to literally every bra ever including all the Comexims, Ewa's SM, PL, and S... so I can't mark it as a fit issue or whine about it anymore unless I want to wear CH/CHP the rest of my life, and I don't. I really need a 4 part cup design in the BMs and SMs but I'm nowhere near the size range she does that for. The amount of space is about 1cm, so I deal.

I cannot gush enough about how pretty this bra is. It's WAYYYYY pinker irl than these pictures show. It borders on a hot/80's pink! I think I squealed with delight when I took it out of the package. It's very girly and cute.
This fits just as well as the other BM I have. I think I will have to move the straps over slightly, as they are just a touch too wide for me. Once I do that, it should fit even more perfectly.
(Measurements will be coming soon! I have a wild toddler hogging my attention, otherwise I'd be doing that now. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I was too excited to wait to show the pictures, hahah!)
Edit: Ok so I already measured it because I don't like leaving this stuff hanging, hahah! Hopefully this info will help anyone else who is interested in this, or any other Ewa bras!

This bra measures almost identical to my 65GG - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Fuksja (764)

Which means a 70G *it is not*. It is more like a true 65GG, the cup is a little comfier than my other ones, and the band is nice and snug.
Unfortunately it also means that is lacks a little projection at the wire but not annoyingly so--the bra doesn't seem to slide down so far, and the wires stay in place.

So cups are your typical BM cups. I find that the white tulle inside is a lot softer than, say my Kleks or Rubin. So it has a little more ... give. The colour of this bra is just divine. A warmish neon pink that is extremely difficult to capture in photos. My mum says that this bra literally shines through everything I wear it, haha.

The band is really tight. It is not a 70, it's a 65. The band would not stretch past 76cm without wire distortion. I don't think they altered it without me knowing, the 70FF - Ewa Michalak » Bm Fluo I have has a stretchier band than this so I am not sure what's going on--but all the better for me cause the 70s I have are now all loose.

The gore on this also seems to be narrower than my other bras. It tacks, no surprise there, and the wire is a good width for me.

I really like this bra, I love the colour. It's one of my favourite BMs! I had some fears that it will be a terrible fit due to some changes I've been going through, but surprisingly it's not half bad. So I'm very happy.

This fluorescent gem came to me via AprilGoulding. I am head over heels for the colour of this bra - it is electric coral. I was a little nervous about trying another BM, as the previous one I tried - a 65F BM Baklazan (https://www.bratabase.com/bra/diy2a/) - was too shallow at the bottom of the cup. This bra, however, has the perfect depth. There is enough immediate projection for the wire to fit comfortably in my IMF. The height of the cup is perfect and stretch lace moulds very nicely to my shape. The cups of this bra do not disappoint. The straps, however, ... are another story - they are ridiculously wide and painfully cut into my underarms. I am quite petite and my shoulders are very narrow, so I am not sure if this is a common fit issue. The bra is blissfully comfortable for about half an hour, and then the straps really start cutting in. I am torn at the moment about whether or not to keep this bra. On one hand, the colour and cup fit are glorious, and on the other, the straps are a nightmare for my petite shoulders.

This bra is so pink. It's such a bright, eye blinding pink that I can see it through most shirts. This was one of several BMs that MamaPagan sent over for me to try, prior to me receiving my very late Black Friday order. When I first tried it on, I was so comfortable in it that I did not want to take it off. The band is quite tight compared to to most of the BMs that I currently have, stretching to 27". It's wonderful, I can wear it on the loosest set of hooks. The gore being slightly higher than the 60JJ somehow ... results in it no longer stabbing me in the boobs.

I really do love this BM and I am so glad that I got to try it out. The only niggling worry I have about it is that the apex is too high. All of Ewa's apices are too high for me, and when I look at this one in the mirror it looks far worse to me than any other size or bra. When I look at it in a photo, it doesn't seem so bad. Overall, I'm really pleased with this bra and wish that Ewa would continue to make her 60 bands tight like this.

Also: This still is bleeding pink dye when I wash it. It still looks bright so that is one heck of a lot of dye.

BM Fluo in 60K
This one is pink. I mean really pink. Bright pink. Eye pain pink. I love the bright color! It’s truly a neon not a hot pink. I am not really a fan of pink, more of a green purple and blue gal, but let’s face it, pink is a common color in bras due to the stereotype of pink being girly. That being said, this is an awesome pink color. The lining is white which accentuates the pink nicely.

The cup construction is the typical BM style, with 2 lower vertical sections (1 seam) and 1 upper horizontal section, with a 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.

One thing that is unique about this one is that the wedge area is the non-lace band material instead of lace. This doesn’t affect the fit or wear, but was different than most of the other lace BMs so I thought it was worth mentioning.

The band measures 21.25” and stretches to 27.75”. It has the standard 3 hooks with 4 rows of eye loops.

The cup height is 9.5” with a width of 6.15”. The depth (measured by hovering the cups between the knees and placing a tape measure inside the cup without any resistance) is 12” and stretches over the knee to a max of 15.65” creating a very comfortable fit, though this one also doesn’t tack for me, sitting a finger’s width off the sternum. I still consider it a good fit as it’s comfortable and otherwise the cups fit beautifully. The gore is 4.25” tall and ½” wide.

BM Fluo 60KK
This is my second attempt with Fluo, having tried it prior in a 60K.

Fluo is pink. I mean really bright, eye pain pink. I love the bright color! It’s truly neon not a hot pink. I am not a fan of pink, but this is an awesome pink color. The lining is white which accentuates the pink nicely.

The cup construction is the typical BM style, with 2 lower vertical sections (1 seam) and 1 upper horizontal section, with a 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.

One thing that is unique about this one is that the wedge area is the non-lace band material instead of lace. This doesn’t affect the fit or wear, but was different than most of the other lace BMs so I thought it was worth mentioning.

The band measures 22.4” and stretches to 28”. It has the standard 3 hooks with 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: 12.65”

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.

To compare to Fluo in 60K, it had a smaller band at 21.25” to a max of 27.75”. The cup width was the same 6.15” and the depth was 12” to a max of 15.65” making the 60KK less than ½” more max depth at the apex. The wing and gore was higher on the 60K, at 4.75” and 4.25” compared to this one at 4.5” and 4.15”. The 60KK is ¼” taller in the cup.

As for fit, the band is comfortable on the 2nd from the tightest setting, but could easily be on the tightest. The cups fit nice and full but the gore is 1.5 fingers off the sternum. Since the cups are otherwise comfortable, don’t feel strained, and the wires aren’t irritating to my breast tissue, I will consider this one a good fit as well. It is definitely a better fit than the 60K, though yes, technically it is still not ideal. Of the 3 I’ve tried so far within this order, these cups feel the best, even though Fioletowy tacked a bit better, these cups feel better to me even when I force the gore to tack, the cups still fit nicely without overflow.
