I got this bra to wear as a nude tee-shirt bra.

The design is pretty, but basic. The seams are visible through thin shirts, but the nude color is a pretty good match for my skin, so from that aspect, I still think it works nicely for sheer or light colored shirts. This material seems quite stretchy, so I'd say the band runs a bit loose-- comparable to Freya sizing.

It does look fairly nice on, and gives a good shape-- very rounded and up-front. The strap design is a positive for me: they are fully adjustable, but I can't adjust them with the straps on-- that's not really ... a negative to me, because the strap design (with a sort of embroidered/ stitched pattern on the top of the strap) keeps it from sliding around-- once you have it adjusted correctly, it does not loosen over time, and I never have to quickly fix it in the morning after washing because it slid around. That's a positive for me, even though it's difficult to get the straps adjusted initially.

I'd say the cups run true to Ewa size-- I need one cup size bigger than Freya, but the band is loose like Freya's (Ewa's band sizing is inconsistent, but generally I can make do with 65). These cups are not a good shape for my soft, close together breasts-- my breasts want to sit in the middle and are malleable, so I have a bit of quad-boob at the center, and empty areas at the sides-- not a good look. Conversely, I can tighten the straps a lot so this is less obvious, but then the straps will rub uncomfortably on my shoulders and will leave red marks over the entire area or rash-like bumps (they disappear within a few hours of taking the bra off, but it's still not ideal. I do have very sensitive skin, and it might be because I just have the straps adjusted too tightly to compensate, due to the non-ideal shape for my breasts).

The straps are a touch too wide for my shoulders, and all in all, I don't find this bra the most flattering for wear. It's just not a good fit for my body. I'll continue to keep it, but it's really a bra that I only wear when I need something that won't show under light shirts.

If only Cielus were half an inch shorter, I wouldn't have sought further styles for my eternal struggle to find a full enough cut for this strugglebus deep/wide/low shape & all the issues that come with it.

Glad to receive from allifrack ! It has that classic wayyy too deep cup Ewa/Effuniak look like I'm offering my boobs out for dinner, which is why I'm surprised Ewa bras don't run closer to people's leaning measurements. But it does fit quite nicely despite my thoughts about style! I think I will be quite happy to wear it under clothes, after getting used to the feel - I have recently lost some weight and apparently some padding right where it matters on the ribs. But I walked around the house a bit before even noticing that so I think I'll be good https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It reminds me of my Cleo Ellie in 28H. A 28 in this style though would certainly be falling off a narrower person's shoulders.
