After measuring and re measuring and wearing this bra, and looking at sister sizes and checking the tag to be sure I wasn't crazy, I've come to the conclusion that it cannot possibly be a 100FF as the tag says. The cups on this are only 11.5 inches deep, whereas the sister sizes of other BMs in specific and other Ewa's in general usually have around 13 inches. It leaves me wondering if there's a 100E out there with a switched tag!
That being said, even though it doesn't fit it took me a couple of wears to realize it due to the lovely, fantastic, magical stretch lace. I'm really center full and the stretch lace accommodated that beautifully. I had no quading, and the gore even tacked! I'm going to try again with another BM.
Summary of good things: -Projected at the wire -Projected at the gore -Stretch lace very forgiving for asymmetry and FOT breasts -Narrow wires -Brings breasts front and center but not overly in your face.
This is a really lovely, soft bra, but I think it's actually a bit... fussy for me. The lace, the ribbon, the pompoms and bows - I've been wearing it while sick in bed this week, and I've found myself folding the top of the lace down and stroking the lovely, soft, sheeny purply fabric underneath and wishing I could take off all this extra stuff. So while visually appealing, I definitely prefer something a bit more simple.
At only 12 inches in depth, this is measuring about a half to a full inch smaller than I expected it to based on sister sizing, but the fit is okay. ...My breasts are center heavy so while there's occasionally a bit of bubbling toward the center of my larger breast, my breasts are not able to push the gore out of the way as they do with some bras.
The gore is a tiny bit wide for me. It rests a bit on breast tissue at the top. I may or may not alter it - it isn't uncomfortable, but as a result the gore sometimes floats about a quarter of an inch. Still, everything feels very supported, and I'm getting excellent lift, as expected from Ewa. The band is quite tight, too, requiring an extender even to fasten it. I've been wearing 42 in UK sizes lately, so this is fitting more like a 40 than a 44.
All in all, happy to have got this in the sale, and I'll keep it, but now that I've got my size narrowed done I'm not sure I'm in any hurry to order again. I need a bit more room for center fullness, and it seems like the cup depth varies so wildly from model to model, even in the same S style, that it's hard to know what you'll really be getting.
TL;DR: Beautiful bra, narrow wires, good uplift, okay immediate projection, could use more room for center heaviness, gore medium width.
My breasts: soft tissue, immediate and center projection galore, short and narrow roots, close set Read more 235 more words
