After many years of neglecting myself in the boob department, I decided to treat myself to some new bras. I've had good experience with Ewa Michalak's bras in the past, but their calculator had me between 75 and 80 back and a GG and H cup in the 75 band. As I prefer a tighter band, I went for the 75 and went ahead to order both cup sizes in a PL style. The other bra fits marvelously, but this one is just too tight, I can barely put it on and the boobs get squished something awful. I can't really talk much about the bra as it ... doesn't fit.
The band feels tighter than the other bra I've ordered in the same band size. Sure, it can be the tight cups, but I don't think that's the whole story. The straps are decorated with a pretty ribbon, but that reduces their stretch. The same ribbon is applied to the little bit of elastic between the strap and closure. As even the other 75 is on the tighter side on me, this little bit of lost stretch is something I'd sorely miss, had the cups been a correct size. This ribbon also makes the straps shorter.
All of this makes me quite sad, as the bra looks amazing. This is my favorite shade of purple and it contrasts nicely with the black. Black lace with a black underlay is also something I find very pretty. Overall it looks well made, it's just that the ribbon is a thing to consider when deciding on fit.
