    BUTTONS! The detail on this is BUTTONS and I love it! Not too feminine for me, nice and narrow, lifts!

    This review is for the Ewa Michalak SF Czarny Gładzioch in 70G EU (32G UK), color Black. My ABTF size is 34FF/32G UK.

    Band:
    * Very tight. This fits like a 30. Has 3 hooks by 4 columns.

    Wires:
    * Very narrow at 5.5 inches wide in the 70G.

    Cups:
    * 4 part cup, with 2 vertical seams. The bottom is standard knitwear. The top is elastic tulle.

    Straps:
    * The straps are fully adjustable and have a nice embroidery pattern on them in black on black.

    Fabric:
    * The fabric is very comfortable, ... no chafing at all.

    Hardware:
    * The hardware is matching black and it has button details.

    About me: very close set (breasts touch), very narrow roots, very projected at the wire, full on bottom, short roots, soft tissue, significant rib flares, narrow shoulders.

    FIT

    * The band is VERY small. I had to wear an extender. I think this 70 fits like a 30 (the stretched length is 31).
    * The wires are wonderfully narrow at this size.
    * The gore tacks hard for me due to being the wrong band size for me. I can wear it but it's never going to let me forget it's there. (SOLVED by wearing 2 extenders.) The wires are as narrow as could be at .75 inches. I really need to overlap the wires but I can't bear to wreck the button detail!
    * The cups are GREAT for my short roots, full on bottom. I do have some wrinkling at the wire, but I can't blame it on projection since this is a Ewa. I do have "flatt-ish" roots so I think the wire is just too much of a capital U shape for me. I need to look into swapping the wires for an Emerald Erin in Carmen if I can get the right height.
    * The straps are plenty long enough and fully adjustable.
    * The sides are a comfortable height for me.

    OVERALL IMPRESSION
    * I'm counting this as a win! I'll try to get it in a 75FF or 80F/80FF for an even better fit, but with extenders this is a keeper for me. And my first 'bra that fits.'

    P.S. I totally lied on the "set a fit" because I need to show this as "it fits." The truth is the issues are: band too small, gore too wide, can't fill bottom of cups.

      Great review! FYI, on the fit screen you can check off all the issues you had with the bra and then go on to 'personal assessment' and click that none of the issues you described are a problem for you to mark the bra as fitting.

      Congrats on finding a bra that fits! It looks really good
      And thanks for the review, I’m pondering the sf bras and have a similar shape as you so good to know how it worked for you.
      Ps. Does anyone know if all EW bands tight? The BM I got in 75 fits like a 32

      margesimpson great question, I want to know too! I just learned Ewa doesn't do custom alterations so I have to decide what size to try next.

      This looks great on you, I’m so glad it worked out and has a home now where it’ll actually be worn! Great review too, and the buttons are adorable. I wish more bras used buttons like this instead of bows. I found the band to run a bit snug too but I thought it was because the cups were way too narrow for me or I’d have mentioned that aspect, sorry about that! Once it’s broken in a bit you might find it loosens up though. I’ve found that clasping the band around a pillow for a day or so helps when a band feels too snug initially but the next size up feels too loose if you’re between band sizes or a particular brand happens to run small.

      I think it depends on the model whether Ewa bands run smaller or not though, I have a 70GG Szykus too and it felt more true to size than the Gladzioch when I could fit into it but that might be because it’s a cup size larger than the Gladzioch too. I still have it somewhere so I’ll have to measure the band and compare it to one of my Freyas in the same size to see since I know Freya bands usually run on the larger side.

      margesimpson Introvert I've heard in the past about EM bras being inconsistent about band sizing, but I'm unsure if that was something that was more of a problem several years ago and isn't anymore or not. In my experience, yes, EMs run smaller in the band than UK bras. It's great if you're in between sizes or on the small side of a certain band, but if you're more of a true X band or on the larger side of that band size, yes, a lot of people do size up.

      KittenParadeForever I'm SO grateful to you! Really happy!

      I'm just going to have to keep at the trial and error. I think it's too much to ask for manufacturers to be consistent with each other and maybe with themselves. LOL!

      KittenParadeForever thanks for the tip,!totally going to try the pillow stretch thing. (I also have an extender in case that doesn’t help)

    Initial thoughts, will update later after wearing for longer. Liking this bra a lot so far!
    The band is definitely firmer than my 70G - Ewa Michalak » Chp Lawenda (588) , which has a very comfy, stretchy band, but the cups fit better in this one.
    This bra is great if you’re very FoB, like me!
    The top part is soft and stretchy, so it fits both my larger and smaller sides nicely. Cup-wise, this is probably the best-fitting bra I have now, so I’ll be wearing it with an extender for a while and hope it stretches a bit. Sizing up (sister size 75FF - ... Ewa Michalak » Sf Czarny Gładzioch (866) ) did not help and just exacerbated my usual fit issues— notably, wrinkling at the bottom, gaping at the top.
    This bra has some very cute details like a little fabric embellishment at the gore, and I’m always a sucker for bras with buttons instead of bows! If the band is comfier with an extender, I’ll probably pick up a few others and these will be my daily wear summer bras.
