**Shape info:** very projected, pendulous, center full, somewhat narrow root (though doubt if Omega shaped), high on chest.
**I really like wearing this bra!** It is very soft, the elastic on the outer sides of the cups and bottom of the band is smooth, not scalloped, which I think is lovely. The fabric on the lower cup is reinforced with a less stretchy lining, but the top cup is quite stretchy. It also looks very pretty in a clean, minimalistic, yet feminine way.
Either this bra is one cup size too small for me, or there's a slight shape mismatch between my breasts and the bra cups. Some tissue escapes ... in the center after a bit of time and moving around. And the top part of the cups looks a tiny bit flattened when looking from top down - but it doesn't seem to be visible through clothing. (But I noticed that the tissue escaping *can* be seen through clothes in some cases though.) That is about the only negatives I could say about this bra. Maybe also the thing that I get more boob sweat with this one comparing to the Ewa's BM ones, as this one allows the breasts to touch in the center.
**The center panel seems to tack to my sternum. Not very strictly so, but a lot better than the BM Deser Nugatowy that I also currently have in size 70HH** - and more so than the absolute majority of bras that I've owned and tried on so far. For context, the only other two that have ever tacked have been Ewa's BM Bezowa Perla and Cleo's Kayla Balconnet.
[The next two paragraphs are about center panels (not) tacking and comparison of this vs. other EM bras that I have:]
I've wondered if I should make as big of a deal out of this as I do, but the bras whose center panels did tack seemed more comfortable and secure than ones that don't tack. It also seems like the gores not tacking do shift the angle of the wires, so the wires can put more pressure on the ribcage than intended. I noticed when wearing the BM Deser Nugatowy nearly daily that sometimes I got a bit of a pain where the bottom of the underwire sat (relieved by shifting the underwire so it doesn't press on that spot). I'll still see how I'll feel after a while of wearing this one but so far it seems promising.
(The only other Ewa bra that has so far tacked for me before has been BM Bibi Bezowa Perla in size 70G. Even now that it's quite a bit too small, it seems closer to tacking than the BM Deser Nugatowy in the more correct size. (It was also the only bra whose wires have ever poked the sides of my breasts - not armpits though - painfully after a bit of wearing so I didn't get much wear out of it, but technically, it might be the closest one I've ever gotten to a correctly fitting bra. Besides this one maybe.) I have a theory that it is because the wires are shorter - and maybe the fabric is a bit stretchier? Anyway, the PLM might be, in this regard, the best bra I've found so far, as it has the cup volume needed but is a lot lower in the center, and I think that the description on their website also stated it's lower in the armpits, which feels true right now. Haven't measured the bra yet.)
**All in all,** it is a very soft, lovely, comfy bra to wear during days I don't have to do much vigorous physical activity. Maybe it'd be more movement-secure if I had purchased a larger cup size, hard to say. But for now, definitely keeping this one!

Bras don't always tack in the center for everyone, but if it's important for you to feel secure and comfortable it absolutely is a big deal. However, when you're center full, your breasts want to fall to the center so a higher gore is important to keep the breasts from falling inwards. I'm east west/side set, but in a plunge my breasts absolutely fall to the center because I have more breast tissue in the inside than I do the outside. My best fitting bra actually places my nipples which are only a little off center, an inch from my underwire close to my underarm. Because I'm center full the bra encases my breasts in a way that pushes my nipples over an extra inch and a half. If my best fitting bra were a plunge, none of my breasts would be in my cups. I have extremely soft issue and Pendulous breasts. Plunges typically aren't a good fit for pendulous breasts. Add center full and that = disaster.
It looks great on you while you're in it though.
If you want to try this style in the future I highly recommend heading over to Etsy and picking up some wires to separate bra cups and adding a little extra fabric between the cups just to make sure you don't fall out. ☺️ Plm can work for you if you add a couple things to it. Even a good seamstress can fix the bra for less than $20 since you like it so much it might be worth it. ☺️
Sf works GREAT for me. I haven't checked your bb yet but if you haven't tried sf you should. Get the same size plm or 1 cup size up. If runs tight in the band so maybe even size up a band keeping the cup size if the PLM. Sf is made like plm. Stretch cup on top, the cup on bottom. It's made the same aside from the necessary changes a plunge bra needs like center pull straps.
Another cut that might work for you is sm. They're not very pretty imo but I do think they'd be a great fit for you. I'm shallow on top so unfortunately they're not for me (or any full cup bra that doesn't have stretch lace/mesh)
I've also had some big bust ladies have great luck with smn (and other polish brands like nessa) since a hard tack is important for you, stay away from comexim.
Sf - cups stretch to match your size and shape exactly over time. It may be on the verge of being too small at first, but after wearing a few times, it will start fitting better and better. (Nibynic does, anyways) And now the bra is molded to me like an old memory foam pillow. Except I can't even tell I'm wearing a bra. It's THAT comfortable. It has a low center but high enough that even the softest of tissue doesn't escape. It's so soft and you honestly can't even tell it's there. I'd literally trade my soul for nibynic. I'm not joking nor do I wish I were, I am that serious about this bra. If you want a bra that cannot be felt then nibynic is the one. (I did have issues with cup folding/collapsing a tad when I first got it, but after she warmed up and stretched out the folding stopped and now it's like ewa made this bra from a 3d printer for me. This is one of those that needs to be broken in before it can be assessed properly. Bra should be borderline cutting into your tissue when you first get the bra. You should be able to feel the seems if you focus on feeling them. If you can feel them if you try, keep the size. Don't question a little bit of quadding. It will stretch to fit you perfectly)
