Based on this bra, I would say the CHP style runs considerably larger in the cup than other Ewa Michalak styles, and it also runs fairly small in the band. Also, the straps are NOT fully adjustable (although they are very comfortable and foam lined), and the straps are unable to adjust short enough, which emphasizes that the cup is definitely too big.
The band running small is fine for me, since I am somewhere between a 28 and 30 band in measurement, but don't like to special order bras. However, the cup is far too large-- I definitely need to go down at least one cup size, possibly ... even two. Since I generally feel that Ewa runs one size small (compared to Freya), that would translate to needing approximately the same cup size, or one cup size down, from my Freya size. However, the strap runs one size smaller than Freya, which runs a little loose in the band, in my experience.
So, since my Freya size is 30G, in this bra I would need 65G/30G (or perhaps 65FF, even), as well. However, if you are a "true" 30G in Freya (I fasten on the tightest hook) you should probably order up one size in the band in this style-- so order a 70FF/32FF or 70F in this style.
I'm disappointed that this doesn't fit. I am past the return window, so I may try reselling it. It's a very pretty and seems like it would be comfortable bra, but the sizing is off from normal Ewa Michalak sizing, and it's better suited for women who's breasts are lower and don't normally need fully adjustable straps, as I feel the available adjustability on these straps is much lower than normal. I'd recommend for those people, but I won't re-purchase this style because it's not a great design for my body.

Beautiful bra, sadly band runs small and has never fit me well.

Used to be my best fitting bra before I lost a couple of pounds and band stretching. No quadraboob, perfect band length (although I much prefer 3-4 hooks), good lift & great support. It is very comfortable & very cute. Wish the Ewa sizing was more consistent so I could just buy by size. In spite of contrasting color lace along top & seaming, it doesn't show through most clothing. Matching thongs are adorable, too.
Hope to find a replacement in 70HH-ish.
Final update 12/2018: This is the first and only bra I've actually worn the hell out. Through weight and shape changes and machine washing and heavy rotation, I got several years' use out of it before the mesh wings finally gave up elasticity. I'm going to miss this old friend.This bra is not owned any more

This bra is beautiful. The projection at the wire enables me to comfortably fill the bottom of the cup. The wire width is very narrow. The straps are quite wide and a little uncomfortable, but tolerable.

This is a beautiful bra with gorgeous lace details. It feels so luxurious! The fabric is a super soft satin and the straps are wide and soft. The band is nice and snug too. This CHP has no cookie pockets, but I still tuck in cookies as it is slightly too big without them. I still get a small gap on my smaller side even with a cookie, but the fit on my larger side is great. No quad boob- yay! If only I could get an FF cup on the left and an F on the right... This bra has really good projection above the wire and is very centre-full friendly. I think it would accommodate a lot more upper breast fullness as well. The cups are quite a bit taller than my 60F CHP Opium. This Kurczak gives a nice, full, round, front and centre look with great lift. I love this bra!

Once again I tried to find my "perfect" bra from Ewa. Once again I'm really confused. The bras depth, projection, cup height & wires were just what I was looking for but it still doesn't fit. The top of the cup gaps so bad! I got this used from another user. It's been well loved but it's obviously a good bra. Just not for me.

The band is perfect, but I think I snagged one that has too large of cups for me. It has silky fabric and the lace doesn't irritate the skin. Honestly, this would be a perfect bra in the correct size.

Very comfortable and beautiful bra. Band is comfortably snug. Satiny straps are wide and soft. Cups are true to size.
