AW2012 - Padded half cup in greyish blue
More...
This bra is discontinued.
The band on this is very small (only a very tiny portion of it stretches at all), and the straps are quite short. All my other EM bras I have had to alter the straps shorter, but I have these ones as long as they will go.
As usual the shape is fantastic, this is a cup volume smaller than I would normally wear, but is just gives more fantastic cleavage due to the open top cup shape.

I really love Ewa Michalak bras! Every one of them I've had fit me perfectly in 70G. This particular bra was originally a 70F but has been tailored to fit closer to a G. I have bottom heavy breasts with very wide roots that are partially under my arms. The Hp Kobalt gives them a wonderfully round, lifted shape under whatever I wear. It's smooth enough to wear under t-shirts. I really love the gorgeous blue color and light pattern that continues through the straps.
It's actually one of the most comfortable bras I own now. The underwires don't come up into my under arms, and the straps are perfect for my narrow shoulders.

This bra is beautiful and comfortable- and it gives great lift! The band is a bit loose on the tightest hooks, so I'd optimally have this in a 65GG.

I own this bra for a few months now. I bought one of the last models in my size - a very good purchase as it has quickly fallen victim of its own success.
Appearance - all parts of the bra are covered with a jacquard fabric. The colour is very difficult to show on the photos as it changes with the light - it can be cold, shiny blue or grey. In every instance it's really beautiful.
The band - quite wide and very stable on my back, not very stretchy and rather snug.
The straps - the front part is not adjustable and covered with the same fabric as ... the cups and the band. This part is wide and very comfortable, this is my favourite type of straps in EM bras. The back part is adjustable and strechy, the colour matches great the rest of the bra.
The cups - open on the top but run normal in my size. The HP style is perfect for my full on the bottom and saggy boobs, it keeps them near the ribcage and gives a very nice cleavage.
After a few months of wearing this bra it's still in great condition, the band hasn't stretched and the fabric hasn't pilled.

As said before, actually the EM hp are my preferred bras. They works wonderfully with shallow/full on top breast. Unfortunately it no longer seems to be a "leading model", the only new model available is the rokoko.
About the Kobalt: it's so beautiful with its blue brocade fabric, so comfortable. It is my dream bra. If I have to find a fault, it's the only one that the straps are partially adjustable.
About the size: I don't really think that the EM bras are only for narrow breast. In fact I had made the mistake of buying the same uk size that I used with other brands, while Ewa michalak bras are designed to fit a ribcage measured in cm equal or similar to eu size band . So if I have a ribcage of 85cm(33.5inch), my best fit in EM bras would be a EU 85(UK 38).
- PL/HM style: 85FF
- HP/CHP style: 80G (the bands in these styles are normally a bit longer so I can downsized)

I love the lacey fabric. It's understated and simple, yet girly enough to make me feel attractive. The color complements m pale skin well. Padding is very structured and thick, and the seams are quite visible under cotton shirts.
I like the support this bra gives me, but as with many bras, the straps are a little wide and fabric comes up a little too high around my underarm, so I get some irritation along my pectoral muscles/underarm as I move around.
Although I hear how snug Ewa bands are all the time, the 30FF band stretches from 23 to 30.5 inches. My underbust is around 27.5'' but I wear 30s in some brands because they run tight and 28s are harder to find. In this bra, I am much more comfortable on the second or third hook, which doesn't say a lot about the useful lifespan of the bra for me. This is not a bra you want to size up in.

This is a sturdy bra. It's out of my first EM order and I can't get over how impressed I am. Nothing flimsy or cut-rate about it. The wings are so well reinforced and the overall construction is really very good. The fabric on the Kobalt, which I ordered in a 30FF and 30G, is extremely stiff out of the box. I'm curious how much it will relax after wearing and washing. Hopefully it will relax a little, since I'd like it to conform just a tiny bit more to my shape. Still, this is definitely a keeper. The greyish blue color and the pattern of the fabric ... are really lovely. The shape is a little odd currently, with the way it shoves my breasts forward through the center, like it's trying to pour them out of a spout, though I think that's more to do with the way the bra was folded for shipping. Pretty sure about that. Still, it looks wonderful and I have been completely won over by all the EM bras in my order.
Size-wise, I wasn't sure what to do for my purchase. I heard that the PL bras run small in the cup, but I thought that the HPs, HMs, and maybe CHPs would work better for me, so those are the bras I tried. I can't compare PL sizing to the non-PL bras that I bought, but I can say that I fit the HP and CHP in the smaller of my two "normal" sizes and went down one cup size from there for the HM (though I will be trying the HM in my regular size. The one I bought is a bit small in the cups). Personally, I thought that the HP Kobalt ran fairly true to size in the cup. The 30 (65) band was nice and snug for my 27" rib cage. It could have been a little tighter, but I don't know that I'd want to go down to a smaller band since I'm afraid that that might be uncomfortable on my ribs.

I got this bra two months ago from ewa-michalak.pl and have worn it semi-regularly despite the fit issue. I ordered a 70(32)G, which is the size I start from for a bra.
