Putting this bra on reminded me of how I felt the first time I tried Ewa Michalak. I've found with this brand you don't really notice when the bras get a little too small - you just get a slightly flattened appearance and less 'oomph'. This is what has happened with my old EMs. When I put this on, my breasts were incredibly upfront, with great cleavage and a rounded shape.
This bra has the removable pads featured in many EM bras. These can be used to correct asymmetry or to give extra cleavage.
I'm really glad I went for the 55H, as my old 60Gs were too loose in ... the band and too small in the cup. The band is good on this one, but the other 55 I ordered at the same time was too tight and I need an extender. The bands are very variable with EM. I prefer to order the smallest size I think I could need and then use an extender if necessary. Unfortunately 60 bands and smaller are non-returnable so it's mostly guesswork figuring out what size you'll need (unless you're willing to order a 65 band to test it out first). The band on this has stretched out a small amount in the couple of months I've owned it, but I'm still on the loosest hook.
The look of the bra is really nice - it's a rich purple shade with black lace overlay. It feels very well-made and the matching knickers are also nice, but are not an obvious match with the bra because all of the purple fabric in them is covered with the black lace, instead of leaving some uncovered like on the bra. It looks like the high-waisted briefs would be a more obvious match. The set still goes together well, just not in the way I expected.
The bra is great for wearing under some of my Polish clothing from Urkye and BiuBiu, because I often find their tops are designed for bras like these with an upfront shape. It's also good for a night out when I want cleavage on show, but I don't tend to wear it to the office or in other situations demanding a more demure look! It makes me look very busty from the side, which I don't always like.
The wires on this bra are quite uncomfortable. It's like they've been bent into a shape that's not like mine. The centre gore is nice and low, but the wires dig in because they curve towards my body. Same at the other end of the underwire. I haven't yet managed to bend it into a shape more like my own, so I'm wearing it a little bit at a time in the hope that it'll mould to my shape better soon. It's not so uncomfortable that I can't wear it, but I am left with red marks when I take it off.
