Why does 'small band number' or 'small cup letter' ALWAYS mean make the straps insanely miniscule. We're talking toddler tank top lengths. Who wrote that in stone. Can it just go out the window once and for all?

Shortening strap length, never solves the problems that placing the strap 10 million miles out on the side, then angling the damn strap away from the body creates.

It's pretty unreal that ... even I'm saying this as I have huge man shoulders spanning nigh 20 inches across, but somehow here we are again folks.

Anyways halleloo, this cut is about as close to made to match my measurements & shape as it's going to get out here. Like the Playful Promises Ariana but without the extra tight top band & weirdly side-set cups.

Currently teetering between the largest sizes I could find which are slightly tight around the sides of my breasts but a little gappy in the very center (approximately built for someone with a puffier & conical nipple, like every other bra on the planet).

PL have always felt insanely tall yet super shallow. PLM was so close but tops cut in and quadded terrible.SF have enough depth, but too tight & crumple in bad on the bottom at wire. S cut fills out great on the top and always has an inexplicable completely taut zone at the bottom of cup- I've learned to stop trying to pull them up as there is always too much me and not enough room in the bottom of them. CH & CHP have no issues but their gores are hell tall and inevitably stab into sternum at the very top. BM are a fantastic fit but the top is tight and weirdly tall on me. Sm fit like a dream but then to top it always really tall, therefore often empty above. Same issue with HM.

So finally we are here at the discontinued M cut which feels something like if the PL were deep at the wire rather than flattening and trying to crawl away from the bottom of my breasts. I'm well and truly curious why this one was never done in larger cups, as there are certainly a lot of projected ladies with super short roots that likely as naught would find something like this a complete godsend.

I'm just as shocked as bellandblue about the lack of bras added and reviews! It's a luscious red and black bra, the M cut was superb when I fit into it - I'm short and was effectively FoB because of how consequentially short my roots are - most cups would fit aside from empty space at the parts of cups that were too tall for me. . . .sometimes even too small, yet too tall.
As great as the lace-up gore is (no regular bridge panel, there is only the lace-up), it would make it difficult to wear comfortable like a regular bra. On my Magique I special ... ordered a panel behind the lace up because of this. Short of sewing the lace up together, it would just shift around and come loose too easily - not by much, but we all know how small adjustments in a bra make all the difference. It would instead poke and jab into my sternum, especially on larger days where the bra was filled to top capacity. The stretchy band just made this worse.
Even so, I would wear it on smaller days and loved it. I still adore it, and the lace-up only bridge makes it quite adjustable in size and fit, just not as a bra for regular wear (9+ hours in a physical job for me)

My first two Ewa bras are these two M styles that I picked up from Levana Bratique on final sale. Since they didn't have my estimated best size (65E) available in any style, I decided to pick up two similar sizes based on feedback of how the bands run. Even though they are slightly different sizes, they are equivalent sister sizes, so the fit is similar. Between the two, I found M Tango to be shallower than M Perlowy though other measurements are similar.

I'm surprised that there have been no reviews of the Tango so far! It's a pretty execution of the classic black ... & red combo, and one of the very few of this colorway that I own. The cups are simple red cotton with black floral lace overlay, and the red band is made from heavyweight square mesh and trimmed with black floral edging at the bottom. The upper edge of the band has a black picot trim, and the underwires are trimmed with black looped cord edging. Straps are very simple plain black elastic. The center gore is different from other M styles as it has a little lace up piece made from black satin rouleau. The bra has a very flamenco feel to it, which explains the name!

My first thought when receiving the bras is that wow, Ewa bras are really lightweight! Compared to all of my other padded foam bras, these cups are the absolute lightest. I actually don't love how lightweight they are, as they don't feel secure, but maybe I will get used to this in time. The bras themselves weigh very little, and the foam is very thin and airy. It is an airy and "dry" foam, bouncing back immediately, and doesn't stay squished like memory foam does. Most of my padded bras use foam that behaves more like memory foam.

Regarding the fit though, I don't think that the M style is suited for me.

Band Sizing: Ewa's size calculator on her site recommends 65DD for me based on measurements, but based on the bra measurements I've concluded that in most of her styles, 65E would be ideal for me. However, I felt that I could definitely size down to 60F in this style as the band is so stretchy that I would prefer it to be smaller. In reality, it's not that the band needs to be SMALLER, it's that I need it to be FIRMER. I am also used to taller wings, which are more stable. Both bras I received come with 4 rows of hooks, but the spacing is quite compact, so it doesn't really give you more room to adjust.

Cup Sizing & Proportions: At first, I did not intend to wear this with the cookies, as I felt they made the cups too small. There is actually some visible overflow already when I put the cookies in (which I didn't have in the M Perlowy). However, wearing this without cookies makes the fit rather odd. It looks great if I stand up straight, but as soon as I move, the cups begin to gap. This is because while I have tall roots and have even fullness, my tissue naturally sits low, and well-fitting bras push the tissue up to create more vertical evenness. This bra is projected at the wire, so it doesn't have this push up effect, and thus I don't have enough upper fullness to fill out the upper cup completely. In addition, I need taller wires at the gore in order to enclose all the breast tissue, but the low gore of this style doesn't provide enough shaping or support. The cups are also too wide for me with overly-wide set straps, so whenever I move, the cups move inward and forward, creating gapping at the top of the cup--the openness of the upper cup makes this even more obvious. It is wearable with cookies, but unfortunately highly problematic without them. I cannot size down in the cup as I would end up overflowing and potentially falling out of the smaller size, and I already find the wires in this size to be a bit short.

Result: This is a nice bra for me to be worn with cookies, but it’s not really the right shape for me. Having reviewed many of the fit photos on BTB for this cut in a range of sizes, I can see similar fit issues occurring across many other wearers, even those who say they really like the fit. In general, the upper cup tends to sit away from the body and not provide much support for medium and fuller breasts. I think the M style is really suited for small cup sizes, A-D, who could benefit greatly from the push up effect of this bra without feeling like they will get pushed out of the bra's shallow cups.

I need a tighter band, narrower wires, narrower cups, more cup height at the center, a higher gore, and a little less immediate projection at the wire. Based on this, I don't think the M or 3D cuts are for me, and I would probably be better off in the PL or S.
