Pawie Oka (Peacock Eye) is a discontinued CH from late 2011. The bra itself is smooth purple satin. It's shimmery and soft, it feels plushy and the band is really nice against my skin. It's not quite as deep purple as it appears in photographs, but it also isn't muted like 65E - Ewa Michalak » Ch Lawenda (588). It's somewhere between the two in shade. The trim along the cups and the band is where the name comes from. It is comprised of purple circles the same color as the bra, but inside this circle is an "eye", like a peacock feather. It's a shimmery silver teal ...that is very beautiful in person. Frankly I never noticed in photographs, but it was the first thing I picked up on when the bra was in my hands. It's hard to photograph, and I posted the best two that I could get but they still don't really show just how much that little eye contrasts with the purple. It really makes the bra in my opinion.
This is a 60 band that I could stretch to about 27.75 before I started distorting the wires. This is good for me, but it's fitting just a tad tighter than I want it to at this time of year. You can see the hooks kind of pulling in my picture, so I'm wearing it with a single column of an extender. I can wear it comfortable on the loosest hook, but I'd rather not. The straps are partially adjustable and stretchy. They're not the most comfortable even though they are well padded in the front. I feel like they dig into my traps more than they should. As noted in PetiteCollegiate's review of this same bra, the straps are very wide set. Normally this isn't an issue for me, I have broad shoulders and a wide upper chest, but these ones actually feel like they may slip off my shoulders at times. They've not, but being so wide set and so slippery I'm aware of them always. The wires are narrow goodness. They're scaled down well and are low under the arm. The cups are soft and comfortable. They give a nice projected and heaving shape. The cups are a little floppy like my 75D - Ewa Michalak » Ch Toffik (138). I think this is a foam thing as other older CHs are described as having the soft cups. I bet Ewa now uses a firmer foam which is why the shape is so much more dramatic in the newer bras than in the older ones. That's not to say that the shape in the older CH/Ps is bad or not uplifting, it just isn't as "strapped in" as the newer bras. Read more 353 more words
The M Magique is a really sexy bra. There is no question that the aesthetic is 10/10. It is truly fabulous.
I know everyone in this size range has been quite curious in how the cut compares to other cuts, as well as the sizing of this bra. First of all, the band runs very tight. The 60F I have only stretches to 26 inches, making it run a full band small. I would recommend sizing up from your normal Ewa band size, especially if you have been considering a 60 but your ribs are between 26-28 inches. This is my regular cup volume. ... I occasionally size up a cup if I believe the cups run closed on the top edge. The top edge of this bra is fairly open.
The cups of this bra has quite a bit of immediate projection above the underwire, as stated by others who have tried the M cut. I think it would work very well with full on bottom breasts. The apex of the cup is also quite low, and the bra has really short cups. Compared to the 3D, the bra definitely has deeper, shorter cups. The bra is unlike the PL because there is less cup fabric around the center. Very soft tissue will probably have no chance staying in due to the lack of support in the middle. While it does fit me, it is not absolutely the most ideal bra for my shape. I am fairly shallow with tall roots and full on top. I have to wear the pads, otherwise I cannot fill the apex of the bra fully because the bottom of the cups have that projection and therefore isn't lifting my boobs as it should. Without pads, my boobs just sit there, but there is no gaping. The pads make that area shallower, as well as help fill any space at the apex and gives minimal lift. Under a shirt, my boobs look short, slightly pointy, and projected. I'm definitely more used to them looking flatter and higher, "pushed up", since that is what the other Ewa bras do for me, and I prefer "neck boobs" if possible. I personally do not find the cups running small, but that is probably due to my shape.
The straps are place pretty far apart. It is wearable for me since I have broad shoulders, but its not the most comfortable, especially since the straps are thin and cheap. They do get softer with wear and wash though. The gore is fairly low and is standard compared to PL and 3D of the same size, and the wires are medium to somewhat narrow in width. They are softer than most of the wires Ewa uses in this size.
Overall, I do like the design of this bra. It isn't the most perfect bra for me, but it does fit and I am happy with that. Currently, I do not plan on buying anymore M cut bras because I dislike the shape and support, but I will see how it wears with time and if my opinions change. Read more 430 more words
I love the looks & descriptions of the M cut. Unfortunately I think I'd need a 60G & it stops at 60FF.
I think they are making an S version
Yes, there was a sneak peek of the S on her polish facebook page. dying for it!
I feel so cheated by the M cut! I loved it in the 65E, but bumping up to a 65F completely changed it for me :(
I like it on you, the beige matches your skin tone well so it you really only see the eyelash lace.
I know they're making it in an S. I don't want the S lol. it's not even that I'm totally in love with this particular bra, it's the cut I want to try & cant :-/
So lovely
Please let me know if you decide to sell it, I think this may be a perfect cut for me!
Oh, and how is the strap placement? Still a bit wide like the other cuts?
Thanks jlcl119 :) The beige they use is on the slightly tanner side. Dvrgrl812 I will let you know if I ever sell this, but I tend to hold on to Ewas forever, except in rare cases. The straps are fairly far apart yes, but attached on little rings so you can adjust the angle. This helps a little bit.
This bra is beautiful in every way possible! It's my first EM and most certainly won't be my last! The fabric is SO soft. I love how firm the band is. I never thought I could get cleavage like this from a well fitting bra. It's a bit small on my larger breast with the cookies in, but my boobs are currently hormonal. I think I could use a tiny bit more projection. I must admit I was surprised by how thick the bra feels (though I haven't tried it without the padding yet). I'm so used to wearing unlined bras. The gore is perfect for my splayed ...shape (a rarity). The straps could definitely be less wide-set; I have to tighten them a lot and angle them in so they don't slip off my shoulders. I was worried the detailing on the cups would stick out a lot under tops, but that's not the case. I'd recommend this bra to those who are looking for immediate projection, narrow wires, and cakes on a plate cleavage. The cups are open on top, but curve in slightly at the edge. I also have the matching panties in size 36 (small). I've never owned such comfy underwear! It fits perfectly and doesn't ride up at all on my wedgie-inclined butt. After all my research and waiting.. it's stunning and it fits. In summation, I feel victorious! Read more 126 more words
*** The fit is set without extender, ergo the 'doesn't fit'. With extender this bra fits absolutely perfectly though. ***
General comments:
I ordered this bra as an exchange for the 65E CH Onyx I tried earlier. That one run too loose in the band and the cups and wires too were a less than perfect fit. In a conversation following a fitting help request for a different Ewa Michalak bra it was mentioned that instead of 'true' sister sizing, Ewa Michalak cup sizes differ by half a cup. 60F would be half a cup size up from 65E, which indeed seemed what I needed, hence my decision to have ...this bra custom-made.
Bra description:
A sleek, black, matt satin bra with black, shiny satin binding along the cup edge. Two shiny, faceted, black buttons whimsically decorate the centre gore. the cups are lined with black cotton jersey. The lining contains pockets for the included sturdy foam 'cookies'. The bra comes with two kinds of detachable straps: regular 12mm wide straps and padded, 32mm (at their widest) wide comfort straps made out of the same matt satin the cups are made of and edged with shiny satin bias binding. The comfort straps are only partially adjustable.
Fit:
First of all, I've fallen in love. With my breasts. They're perfect -- as long as they're in an Ewa Michalak bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Seriously, this CH Onyx I had custom-made in 60F is just the kind of stuff dreams are made off. The cups and wires fit me like nothing has ever fit me before and the shape the thing gives me is just UNBELIEVABLE. Really, I thought I hit the jackpot with the HM Gold, but this CH Onyx is just MINDBLOWING.
The difference with the 65E I tried before is striking: the cups and wires are just ever so slightly roomier, but the fit is a thousand times better. Also, the cookies work wonders in evening out the asymmetry between my larger right and smaller left breast. There is the tiniest bit of gapping when I move my arms/shoulders forward, but it is nowhere near as bad as with the plunge version (PL Onyks), which confirms my 'theory' that this is simply a better shape for me.
The straps placement is fairly wide, although I don't experience the problem of them cutting into my arms the way the straps on other bras do. The comfort straps are, indeed, ridiculously comfortable and although they are only partially adjustable I find I don't have to tighten them much, which doesn't often happen. Again, I guess this confirms the shape and size of this bra is just right for me. The entire bra is ridiculously comfortable: it almost feels as if I'm cupping my breasts with my hands, so gentle, soft, and supportive! And the shaping is just jaw dropping: very lifted, round and up-front -- I never knew I had such 'assets' https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Anyway, so far the good stuff. The not-so-good stuff is that the band on this thing is really tight. I mean REALLY REALLY tight. The band on the 65E I tried before clearly was too loose and also in other ways it was not as good a fit, but this otherwise perfect 60F I can barely close, especially if I also want to continue breathing. Luckily I had the foresight to include a bra band extender in my order, but seriously, what's up with the sizing of these things?!
Conclusion:
I LOVE this bra. It's perfect, except for the band. I measured this 60F and its stretched band is indeed a full 10 cm shorter than the stretched band of the 65E I tried before. This explains why it is too tight for me: the difference is 5 cm too many! Now, the question remains whether I happened upon a particularly loose 65 band or is this 60 band particularly tight? For this bra it doesn't really matter -- besides, it fits PERFECTLY with the extender -- but it would be nice to know for potential future orders *sigh*
Edited To Add:
t_maia has informed me that the bandsize discrepancy is due to the 65E I tried being 'old stock' and the 60F (obviously) 'new stock'. 'New stock' items run more true to size and are therefore tighter in the bands. Pity that one cannot know whether the item one receives is old or new stock, but I suppose that is just part of the 'game' https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
In my case it would not have made much difference anyway as the cups of the 65E didn't fit as perfectly as the cups of the 60F. In the discussion that followed from my PL Onyks fitting help request (find it here: http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dhker/) it already became clear that true sister sizing doesn't work in Ewa Michalak bras (from scouring the internet I've since found that the same may be true for other brands/models too, such as the Panache Andorra). The cups of the 60F are, in fact, half a cup size LARGER than the cups of the 65E. Likewise, a 70DD would be half a cup size SMALLER than the 65E. Extrapolating from this logic, a 60E would be half a cup size SMALLER than and a 70E half a cup size LARGER than a 65E. In addition to this the cup shape changes too: smaller cups are relatively shallower and wider, whereas larger cups get deeper and narrower. Read more 805 more words
I really love the style and color of this bra! There will never be enough purple bras in the world. That being said, it's not a perfect fit. The straps are obnoxiously long and stretchy (they're the half adjustable comfort type). Also, this particular bra has no pockets for pads, so cups gape at certain angles because I don't have a lot of upper fullness naturally (the rounded shape you see in the pictures is a polish miracle). The straps are very wideset on this model and they sort of attack my armpits and the gore is higher than that of my CH Karmelki. It's just tall enough ...to slip into the ditch at the top of my sternum and be very stabby. I definitely think Ewa has come a long way each season in her designs and the quality of her work. While this is still a gorgeous bra with a comfy band and great projected shape, it doesn't work quite as well as the more recent ones I have. The band is true to size and stretches exactly to 28 inches.
This bra has convinced me that I do need the CHP Klaudyna (and SM Czarna Mgielka and S Letnia Noc), so eventually I'll be able to compare her newest ones! I have no self control and need bracoholics anonymous... at least it's a loving community of addicts here https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" /> Read more 130 more words
PetiteCollegiate , where are you GETTING all these discontinued EM's and cuts??? Making me (your fellow braholic) jealous...already have the ones I like from the current line up (OK, some of them anyway) but I hunger for CH's and the 'ones that got away'. Pawie Oka looks terrific on you btw, great color!
I got the past 3 I've reviewed here from vesela_krava! :) I feel the same way about a lot of her styles! They're available for such a short time. And thank you! I love purple everything :)
Oooh I would love that if it were true! Tbh I just spend too much time stalking the listing section here and on reddit. Especially this summer when I had one of the more boring jobs in existence :P
I was really tempted to try a CHP again even though EM straps are so wide-set. I guess I was hoping it wasn't as bad as I remembered 😂. The BM I tried recently wasn't that bad, but it also wasn't quite the right size. I have to push the straps higher up on my shoulders so they don't feel about to slip off, and that causes a little gaping.
The band is a snug 28/60. It's comfortable on the second/third hook (there are four sets) for me. If I end up getting another CHP, I might try a 55FF if possible since I prefer 26 bands.
The beige ...is actually an ok match for my skintone (for reference, it's deeper than the Comexim basic). The wires are kind of firm, not rock hard like Panache but not as soft as Comexim. Gores don't usually bother me, but this one feels a little stabby due to the wires. And maybe because of the height as well, somehow? It's shorter than most of my other bras.
Compared to my 55J Comexim 3HC, this has a little more depth at the wire and apex projection, so it's a better fit for me (a smidge too large on smaller days—or maybe that's just the gaping from the straps—but not worth sizing down). It's a shame, because I would buy more if I could get the straps moved in. I've heard that they don't do alterations but if my next Comexims don't work out, maybe I'll ask anyway.
Anyway, this is almost my short/deep cup holy grail, but I think Comexim is my brand since they'll do just about any alteration as long as they understand it, and have cute prints.
Update: I contacted Ewa. Size 55FF is possible (I heard getting 55 bands has been difficult lately, but maybe it depends on the style), strap placement can't be changed.
Update 2: 55FF solves the strap problem for me. Breaking it in with an extender though. Read more 220 more words
Purchased pre-owned but barely worn. So soft on the inside and outside; even the straps are soft. The colour functions as a nude bra for me. Band is firm and I can start this bra using the longest hook when wearing on my 26" underbust. Very open on top shape. I feel a great deal of outer side support that I don't normally notice in bras, as if the cups are really directing all my tissue front and center and uplifting it. The gore is low enough to not interfere with my uniboob situation. The cup height is a half-inch too short for my much larger side, so I do feel a bit of instability/exposure there, but it's not a deal breaker.
I really don't like the looks of this bra. I hate it in online photos and, while it's better in person, I still very much dislike it. I love all the navy accents, but the main color of the bra is not my favorite and I really can't stand it with the navy. I'm pretty sure the jersey material of the band is the same as my 65F - Ewa Michalak » Sm Malinka (392). I like the color on that bra, so it's just the combination that I have an issue with. This bra came with bright pink bows that looked out of place on the ...bra. I removed them and replaced the gore bow with two navy buttons (I saw this on balkonetka, thanks for the idea random person!). I like it more now, but it's still meh to me (the appearance rating for this bra is for the way it looks on my body, not the bra itself). The band on this bra is very stretchy and runs larger. I've been thinking about this bra for some time since it's one of the last CHs available. Reading reviews led me to think that I'd be best off with a 60 band in this particular bra. That would make this a custom order and I was really reluctant to place it since I wasn't crazy about the bra. When this showed up on the listings I bit, and I'm glad I did. Aesthetics aside, the bra is wonderful.
The 60 band is perfect in this bra. It stretches to about 29" which is my ideal band (the vast majority of my 65s stretch to 28.5-29"). It is soft and comfortable. I'm on the loosest set of eyes (out of three) and it doesn't loosen more during the day. The straps are wide and adjust fully and easily. The wires are where they should be and I don't notice them throughout the day. The shape is nice and forward. It gives great cleavage on its own, with the pads my boobs are unstoppable. I <3 Ewa's CH cut. Read more 240 more words
omg. what did i just do? didnt realize that. so sorry. :(
Well, I guess you really wanted to know the depth ;)
It's 8.5" at the deepest part of the cup, the top; 7.75" through the middle; 8.25" along the bottom.
Haha, that's funny! This bra looks lovely on you, but I agree that the color combination is somewhat off putting. When I was considering chps I thought about getting this one as it was the cheapest option, but I just couldn't get over the aesthetic issue I have with it.
Thanks! It is, slightly, better in person. It's also really comfortable. Having had it on me now, I would order it if I had to. I might dye it. I haven't decided yet.
so I'm weirdo :D i love the colours of this bra! - more than klaudyna! it looks actually nice on my white skin. I agree when buying it - go down in the band , but i don't regret that i sticked to my 70dd, as there are days that i don't want to have tighter bra :)
Acquired this bra from another user new with tags, never worn Unfortunately I underestimated my size (tried this before I determined it now) so it's too small in the cup for me so because of not having enough projection at the bottom of the cup it also felt a bit tight near the ribcage Straps felt a bit too wide on this for my petite frame, however I didn't have this issue in the CHP Roxana even though CHPs are known to have wider set straps Really pretty exquisite lace detail, a bit snow white esque making it extra gorgeous so I really wish it had fit, maybe will try this out in a 60FF when I can
Oh, the Nunu. I was excited for this bra the most after ordering a half dozen or so bras when my size once again fluxed with new medications. The band is infuriatingly tiny, as though Ewa thought she needed to adjust for the +4 or +6 method to my custom ordered band. It runs far smaller than the other 60 and even 55 bands in my order, by at least 3-4" or more. I gave this one a harder stretch than my other bands to give it a fighting chance.
I can't help but remember when the brand mocked people custom requesting 22", 24" and 26 or 28 bands ...and insulted anyone with a small underbust, calling us incompetent about our own bodies and/or children being sexualized.
Even with a big extender, or a chain of smaller ones without stretch, the placement of everything is off and I can't feel comfortable in it. It's worse than 34 bands I have altered down to 26 & 28 bands. Worse than the 30 bands I wear now and again. I've tried up and down to make this bra work, especially since I excitedly ordered 2 knickers (custom, with the additional fee). Woe is me, thanks for reading my EM rant. Read more 100 more words
I thought I might be able to wear an Ewa Michalak 60 band comfortably, even though I know they run small in this cut because my 60 band Comexim bras measure like a true 26 and they work well for me. Well this band stretches to maaaybe 24.5 inches and it absolutely does not work for me. When I tried it on with an extender, the cups were too big and gaped.
Despite not being anywhere close to a good fit for me, it is a beautiful padded bra in shiny pale beige lace. It comes with cookies.
This is a great bra. It fits really well without the cookies, with just a hint of quad boob on my larger side. I think the CHP is a good style for my breasts, which are narrow rooted, very projected above the wire, bottom and centre-full and very soft. It gives a very rounded and lifted silhouette, which I like. The fabric is soft and pretty and the straps are comfortable and easily adjustable. Even though the cups are quite narrow, they are still a bit wider than I need and the wings rub into my armpits a bit. I could also go a bit tighter in the band, so a a 55FF or G might be even better.
This is an older CH style in a beautiful, royal purple color. It has gorgeous, scalloped lace around the cups with a pale turquoise shimmer. The lace really makes the style. This bra really does offer the narrow wires and incredible forward and immediate projection that CH is known for. It’s like a tray for boobs! This is my first CH style, and the closest thing I have tried is 60FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Klaudyna (747). Klaudyna felt a bit roomy, so I wanted to try a half cup in 60F.
I have somewhat mixed feelings about the fit. It kind of looks small? But ...I think it might be just because of the low coverage. This is quite literally a half cup! I’m not really quadding, except over the center gore which always happens because my boobs are desperate to be together. The cups are very open and accommodate upper fullness. The wires are incredibly perfect! This bra gives me quite a ridiculous cakes-on-a-plate cleavage.
This is the tightest Ewa 60 band I have tried so far, although it’s a used bra. It feels snug but comfortable on my 26" ribcage. The straps are only partially adjustable but they work well for my somewhat low-set breasts, and I like the material used. The straps are quite wide set as well. The gore tacks and it’s lovely and doesn’t poke my boobs.
All of the materials are super soft, and the bra is extremely comfortable. The only problem I have really is that if I lean over, there’s a lot of tissue falling out of the bra. The bottom of the cup becomes empty at the same time. Maybe I don’t need this much immediate projection? In the end I think that I feel more secure in Comexim plunges or Ewa’s S style, which offer a bit more coverage and support. (This sounds really boring!). I think that I could keep this and wear very comfortably, but I don’t know. I think that it might nevertheless suit somebody else better. (If this was burgundy, I’d never let it go.)

If you decide to get rid of this, please let me know! I'd gladly take it off your hands :)
immodestmouse You were faster than I could write the listing. :D
I have the same issue with the CH/P styles, if they don't gape, I feel like they are too small or low coverage and I can't even begin to wear them with cookies. If I size up I get gaping even with the cookies. Yet somehow Comexim 3HC's work for me, maybe the Comexims are a bit taller cup height.
amandafire Yeah I think so, I have one Comexim halfcup and it's definitely taller. I guess that the CH/Ps might not be the best style for me either. :/
not everyone likes the projection and low coverage of the CH cut. I think it fits good but I understand you don't feel comfortable in this bra. Pawie oka is probably the most projected CH bra, it caused a serious jiggle on me.
Immodestmouse: if it doesnt fit you I'd LOVE to buy it!! :)
BronteBeach I'll let you know! Hopefully (for my sake lol) it fits
This is like the sisterhood of the traveling bra :D
I bought this from another user here. I had been wanting to try a 60 band from Ewa as well as a 3DM model after having such good luck with my 3D Satine. This was both of those things in one bra, why not? The previous owner warned that the band was tight, even for a 60, and boy was she right! It is toight like a tiger, this one is. I'm comfortably between band sizes in UK bras and can do with either a 28 or a 30. I'm still experimenting with Polish but I've acquired quite a few and I think I'm good with a 65. It ...really feels as though all of my 65s are really 29s which is ideal for me. Anyway, this was really too small in the band for me. I could fasten it, but It was painful and the wire distortion was out of this world. All lower projection was stretched across my ribs and not at the breast and it was horrible. Luckily I have extenders! I need one with this bra and I need the whole length of it. With the extender it's beautiful!
With the extender: The band is comfortably snug and everything is as it should be. The band itself is firm and doesn't have much stretch. The straps are comfortable and are an appropriate length. They are not ridiculously stretchy, thankfully. The cups fit really well. I'm near to quadding on my larger left side, and I may during my period, but right now it's fine. My smaller right side has a nearly perfect fit. I find the lace in the cups on this pretty stretchy and it seems to accommodate slight size differences well. They're also cut quite low, but do a great job of keeping everything in place. The shape is great. Front, center, and lifted just as any other EM soft cup I've tried. The gore is comfortable and low. I have soft tissue and I do not spill out of this. I'm really surprised, but that lower gore, which really doesn't do anything to be honest, seems to work all right for me. That said, I think I do prefer the higher gore on the S/SM models. They don't do a better job of containing me, I just feel more contained and therefore more comfortable. Though I will probably continue to buy the other models for myself if the price is right, I love any Ewa at this point. Read more 299 more words
Firm band, fits like a 55/26. This is very pretty, not a bad fit but also not quite right. I need a little more depth, but since the cups are tall and the straps are wide set (I'd forgotten that about Ewa), I don't want to try the next size up.
Of course I grew out of my last light-coloured bra right before the pandemic and my Comexim bras are stuck in international shipping limbo. So because Brava reduced their free shipping threshold from $100 to $50 I thought I'd take a punt on an Ewa Michalak. This was the only pale coloured one they had in my size.
The good: The fit is exceptional. Very forgiving to my asymmetry. Juuuust fits the big side without quadding but also doesn't look underfilled on the small side. Provides a very natural shape that's neither pointy nor round. The band is exactly the right length for me on the loosest hooks, and ...the fabric is soft.
The not-good-but-not-bad: It's... almost Japanese in its level of cuteness. Don't get me wrong, I love a kawaii bra, but it looks more understated in the photos so I was expecting more wearable cute rather than frou-frou. Also the gore is just a tiiiiny bit high for me as I'm very, very close-set.
The bad: We're all poor right now, and after paying $50 per Comexim, $100 feels painful.
The ugly: It's hard to get Ewa Michalak in Australia. Despite the price I would happily buy like three more, but you just can't get them. Read more 96 more words
This is an excellent bra. I absolutely love it. It fits perfectly with the left cookie removed and the right one in. It is soft and pretty and gives a nice, curvy look. It feels really snug and secure and I love that. I feel that there is room for my FOB breasts at the bottom, and even though my breasts are very shallow at the roots, there is zero gaping at the top, even with hunching. The seams show in t-shirts, though. I love that the band is snug for a 28 (60). By the end of the day, the gore is digging into my sternum and causing pain, so I am going to try and bend the wires out a bit.
It looks like this isn't a 100% technical fit, but I'm pretty much in love with this bra. The thing I'm the most bummed about (but knew before buying - totally on me) is that Ewa sent it out to the first owner with a big defect . . the left ribbon was sewn far too tightly. Even with an attempted fix it's too tight on the cup. It doesn't effect how the cup feels since attempted fix and seems to only effect the outside of the cup and the profile. (edit - it does make the cup smaller) It looks awful under almost every shirt of mine, ...even the ones that hide the regular detailing.
Anyhow, this is a tight band. Possibly a 26 or very close to it on the loosest hook. Gorgeous design. Quality materials that should make it harder to love the Syrena to death. 4 rows of hooks is a truely great touch on Ewa's.
The wires are a bit wide for me and will start to bite in after a full day (and do hurt a bit if I fall asleep in it. Pretty sure there's some user error in there though . . .and it's still better than Cleo gores) The low gore will start to make the skin under the top/right above itch a bit too - I think it somehow manages to shift around on my chest a bit. Or maybe boob sweat? It tacks fully and leaves lines from fitting snugly in to place. Anyhow, all this tends to come after hours of wear and I haven't had any problem wearing it out for my busy days.
I think it fits TTS, but my other two ewas are too small and too large. The straps are wider than I would like, but my broad shoulders save the day in conjunction with the straps not shifting around (a pleasant surprise). It also gives fantastic uplift, the kind I've always wanted but not been able to get.
Otherwise? It's gorgeous (on me!), it's comfortable and it FITS ME. I wish I felt comfortable purchasing from EM, as I would love to own more of the company's bras and this was on my radar since it's release. Until then, I'll keep lurking here, BraSwap and perpetually plan a Comexim order.
Pretty cute bra, and gives great lift. Unfortunately the gore was too wide and tall for me as it's on the wider side. The band is also rather stretchy and on the larger side.
This bra is seriously stunning. I'm completely infatuated with it. I love the shiny floral embroidery, and how delicate it looks. The detailing shows up under tops, but seriously who cares just LOOK at this bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The beige works really well as a nude on my medium olive skintone. This CHP is tighter than the Klaudyna. The cups are also larger. This all works in my favor and I can now see that the Klaudyna definitely was a lower coverage CHP. The bra fits me best without the pads in as there is bubbling with them. I'm probably going to try my next CHP in a 60FF. I want to get the matching panty soon because this bra is so gorgeous that nothing else looks good enough with it. Like other panties just aren't worthy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
Oh it looks really good on you! :) It is such a beauty. And so so soft.
