This is such a beautiful bra. Pictures online don't so it justice! It's feminine, so soft and lovely, with exquisite details. The floral is interesting- almost like a watercolor. i'm in love with the ribbon and lace detailing at the top of the cup.
The straps. Oh the straps. They are set so incredibly wide. I do have fairly narrow shoulders, so maybe the problem is exacerbated by my particular body shape. They adjust well, stay in place, and are so pretty! Why are they so wide???? If they were properly placed on the cup, perhaps the cup would fit but I'm not sure.
The cups are lined ...with cotton and come with removable cookies. My larger side fits the cup perfectly with the cookie in- but my slightly smaller side has a tiny bit of gapping at the top of the cup. I though one was supposed to size up a cup for Ewa's padded bras? Sadly, this CHP doesn't give the "apples in a basket" shape (rounded and uplifted?) that the online description promises, but maybe it's just because I need a smaller size cup? But would it be too small? It doesn't give me much cleavage, and while it looks lovely under clothes, the shape isn't the rouded perfection that I expected from reading other ladies' reviews.
All in all, gorgeous, well made bra. The quality of the materials is excellent. But those darn straps.... If it weren't for them, I'd keep it. But as it is, I may have to sell it so I can try a cup size down and see if all my problems with it are solved....
I have the same gaping problem/dilema with my EM chp. I'm between sizes I think, and am waiting for a smaller size to show up in bratabase so I can try it out and see if I get a better fit. Sorry this one didn't fit for you.
I adore Colette's aesthetics, too. Hope you find a solution!
My swimsuit from July/August. (Many cup sizes back) The cup are stretchy, (can fudge an extra cup size, especially if you have short roots) and the band is firm. No immediate projection what so ever. Loved it when it fit. I literally cannot see the edge of the cup looking down - all boobs! Believe it or not - I have short roots!
Edit: forgot to mention that my boobs are currently at their smallest!!! (Yay period)
Uh yes that looks like it has become a tight squeeze! It is probably scooting down your ribcage as soon as it's on, as the boobs fight their way to a point where they can sort of be accommodated in depth. I cannot stand it when the apex of a bra is too low for me so for me it would be a goner, but there are DEFINITELY some EM-wearers out there who have stated in no uncertain terms they want their bras to fit exactly like this. That is prob why she makes at least some bras with such a shallow lower half.
wendybien I think I could go up 3 cups to my current unpadded size, and still get plenty of cleavage. It used to slide down a lot, but now literally the whole cup is under my boob. š (somewhat shelf-like)
Porn boobs! LOL, I love it, haha! In defense of the bra, no males would be complaining about the fit at the beach. HeeHeeHee. Thank you for sharing it. I can't wait until you get your tape measure & we can have more measurements on the site for our range. :-D
:-D. :-) :-o. :-[ .......The realization that you look like this in at least one bra that is classified as a fit....and that @wendybien's comment may have actually been about you......
MamaPagan hahaha nope, not you... try again! (This one appears to be a standard good fit without the cookies--no?) Clue--I'm talking about some folks who have not posted in a long time (that I know about, at least). I don't know as you would have taken much notice of their posts or reviews even if you spent a long time checking out entries here because all of them were significantly smaller than you in the cups. They all seemed to know each other and posted quite a bit on social media (and sometimes here) re: Polish bras, exclusively in the very lowest-coverage styles. They weren't clueless, they were just assertively enthusiastic about the busting-out-of-cups look, especially in the earlier postings. Just goes to show that one person's fit fail is another one's fit ideal--whatever floats people's boats! I did wonder if they always managed to wear their bras that way all day long in real life, because for me at least that fit would wind up being uncomfortable. But by the same token I am sure they'd all think you or I are completely nuts (or completely nuns?!?) to want cups that actually contain more than 47.5% of each boob ;-)
Haha! Yep, the only photo with cookies is the one with the caption as to why I don't wear cookies. I am not sure of those members you mentioned, maybe they were before my time? I do search through multiple sizes, trying to see patterns in measurements and fit across the span, so it is possible I've come across them at some point. It really is a giant puzzle to me that I am obsessed with solving!
I think we've all (or most) have gone through out sexy phase where we want more exposure and less coverage for outward validity, but yeah, at this point in my life, more coverage is prefered (BM style woohoo!) and aside from a few bedroom items that collect dust in my drawer, haha, the sexier styles tend to get bypassed for sure.
But it's okay for others to want that look & we can live vicariously through their fun phase!
This bra is a great example of why sizing down tall bras for short breasts doesn't always work. The top of this bra is completely filled out with no gaps, but the bottom is too small and squeezing my larger breast. The top also feels like it's cutting into my tissue, even though it's not super tight. I will review the 60J - Ewa Michalak Ā» Bm Szmaragd (794) after wearing it for a bit longer. It is a better to err on too big rather than too small.

Wooo finally a brand new bra with a band that fits my stupid ribs perfectly on the first hook! Pretty much everything that 'fits' starts on the last hook and still need be taken in. Have finally came to accept my other Antonina is way too small to cram myself into anymore & ordered this a size up (arrived not a second too soon thanks to Levana for their *very* swift and ...professional service)
Woe betides all 28 backs who desire a bit of breathing room, you should definitely +2 for this one.
Joy to the few of us, who even with spare fluff really don't have enough mass to fill out & hold down out a normal 28" band. Not all 60's run this tight.
So back to this bra. 60HH BM Antonina feels 1" taller in the upper cup (band) when compared other sister- sized BMs with modified backs. Being of tall upper base but not an upper full breast, this is a less quad-prone shape than lower (narrower) BM cup sizes I've tried. Cup depth runs from 11.5 to a bit over 12" deep with mechanical ease in the duoplex lining; upper cup ranges from 8" to 9" wide with it's pretty stretch lace over lightweight beige stretch mesh. Band from wing out are 4" long apiece, cups and frame comprise 13" of the band width. No issues here currently with strap shifting or cut too short as seems often the case in GG+ sizing at this end of the band range. Straps length is 14" with a taut hold but gives another inch to accommodate my idiot tall/wide/thin shoulders. Band adjusts between 4 sets of hook & eye- made from a 2" tall felt strip with sets of 3 hooks per setting. Materials and findings seem to be the same weight and gauge typical for HH cups in median band sizes such as 75/34".
It's good 'to be home again' after fussing between discontinued bravissimos, ck's, cleos & feelingly weirdly flattened in gorsenia. Certainly don't mean to complain but gods why can't there be a BM/SF hybrid with the center 'room boost' panel from SF and the absolutely nuts wire depth of the BM? Read more 309 more words
Stunning bra and the quality is amazing. I wish so much that it fit. Just a shape mis-match. This is the 3rd Ewa I have tried and I am struggling to get one that works. The tall cups and wide set straps do not work brilliantly on my petite frame. Perhaps a plunge is the way forward now? Hopefully my new Comexim will have enough cup room when it arrives!
This is up for exchange. Ewa plunge 60HH/H maybe 55HH. Or Comexim 60M plunge. No hcs without added depth.
Have you tried any BM styles? They are more forgiving than her other styles. I have found the straps are wider on her plunges.
margesimpson No I have only tried 2 CHPās and an S, so far. I get strange gaping, like strap gap but caused by the straps being sat at quite an angle, to stop them falling off my shoulders. The gores are also wide and high.

I get strap gap with EM padded bras but not the BMs. Comexims are hit and miss but at least they arenāt as expensive. Good luck with the comexim!
The plunge will āsolveā your gore complaint but theyāre higher at the tail of Spence and straps are wider. I typically only get strap gap when the bra is just too big/wrong shape and I have to tighten the straps too much to make it fit. I am petite too - 5ā3ā and wear size 65G in EM. The BM style is definitely more forgiving but I still prefer my S bras the most. I have Comexim also. I tried 5 to get ONE that fits and that one is close to a EM S cut. They all feel like āarmourā though compared to my Gorsenia bras. Just the classic soft cup balcony. Light. Narrow straps. Closer set. Lower cut cups. My fave t shirt every day bras. Only about $20. Order from other eden to try ;)
I just do not think Ewa suit my frame by the sounds of it. I can not even imagine straps wider than her CHPs as these are almost off my shoulders! I have no triuble with Comexim and love them. I have just gone up a size or 2 and need all new š¬ I do not think Gorsenia do my size?
I received this bra from Anya99, 10/10 seller ever time. : )
All pictures were taken with the cookies in. The cups are slightly big on me, but fit with the aid of the cookies. The pattern on this bra is bold and fun, with a lovely watercolor floral print. The cups are the typical three part cup with the inside consisting of white cotton, lightly padded fabric. The top of the cup has a beautiful hot pink lace detail. The fabric wraps around the entire band. This particular bra ran big in the band as if itās like a 65. The back clasp has a 3x4 hot pink closure. The straps are the hot pink satin finish elastic with scalloped edging. The hardware is white. There are cute bright light pink bows where the straps meet the cup. There is a bright light pink bow on the center gore.
BraOdyssey Itās so pretty. I wish EM did more fun prints in BM, PL, and CHP. Whatās cool is the hot pink is the same color as my RĆ³Å¼, so the panties I got match pretty good.
This is the best bra I have ever worn. I always like moulded bras but trying to find pretty ones in my size is almost impossible. When I read a review for Ewa Michalak bras and saw they made moulded cups in small bands and large cups I decided to order.
Firstly the best thing about this bra is the wires are on the front of it. Usually when I buy bras it is all cup and no band, which means I end up with uncomfortable wires under my arm and a flattening effect. This removes all of that, the cups are on the front of the bra and ...it doesn't flatten them. Another great thing is the cups are low cut under the arms. A problem I encounter a lot is large amounts of material in the underarm area that digs in and rubs, this is not a problem in this.
Also, it's a pretty moulded plunge in a 28HH! This is like the unicorn of lingerie, so I'm very pleased with this. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> I get a great shape when wearing this, better than any other bra I've tried. The bra is very well made, and the customer service when ordering was fantastic. It was dispatched quickly and I received my bra in about a week from payment.
The only negative is that the band size comes a touch small. It is still wearable and comfortable. It fits perfectly in the morning but after wearing all day, it digs in slightly. I measure 28" on the ribs and they're very bony, in case this is of use for anyone. This is more to do with the stiff material used than the actual size of the band. Next time I will order a 30H.
I have very soft breast tissue, so I have a bit of trouble with plunges and low gores. Because of this, I tend to stick to the S and SM styles.
This cut works well on me as someone who is full on bottom, with close set breasts and a short torso. I was looking forward to having a multiway bra in order to be able to wear a variety of different necklines, but if I'm being honest, I find that adjusting the straps slightly changes the way that the cups sit, and because I have such soft tissue, the line isn't as nice. I think that this kind ...of problem is likely unique to those with very soft breasts, and that if you are a bit firmer, it wouldn't occur.
Otherwise, there's very solid construction, and I'm pretty happy with it. I received this used with a small stain and had originally planned to dye it, but honestly, I don't have a single white bra in my closet that fits, so I've kept it as is and it's really nice to have something that doesn't show through under my clothes.
I found that the band ran more closely true to what I would call "Ewa sizing," which is the only sizing that I know these days. I fit into the 60 band, though I find the 65 band more comfortable most of the time, and the HH works in that case with or without cookies, depending on just how booby I want to be - in my case, it's usually less, because I'm trying to fit into surgical scrubs and they're like the least stretchy pajamas in the world.
The straps are thicker than I would prefer, even by Ewa standards, if that's something that bothers you as well. But it might be an advantage if you like a bit more width in your support! Read more 204 more words
This is my absolute favourite bra to date, and it'll probably stay that way for a while as it's going to be hard to beat. Anyone whose owned one of these knows what I'm talking about. I can't think of a single thing I would change about it, I lucked out that it fits, and better yet I now know my official EM size. My first time trying a 60 band and it is perfectly firm, I've come to find I really prefer tighter bands, so I won't be ordering 65's again. The colours are beautifully vibrant, I feel happy the moment I put it on. Quality and comfort are excellent. LOVE!
Imo I would go for a 60J next time, the gore doesn't tack.
Yeah, its smaller than I like to wear my bras, too, but if you are firm its probably fine. I fall out of bras that fit like that lol! I have my first S on the way, hoping I love it that much!
I don't know if going up a cup would held as I do get very minor gaping in this. I think the tacking issue is mostly because I'm so close set and have a bit of tenting as well. I'd probably do better in a plunge style, which is what I'm wanting to try next :)
I dont think its even possible for Chezeb3lla to get a tacking gore! But it sure does look good! As long as you feel supported and comfortable, its a big winner! :D
Love love love this bra! Looks great on you, reeaally bummed that it's sold out!
Almost consider buying this from Zathiya (tip from someone on here?) but that wouldn't make sense, since they sell from the U.S. while I live in Europe - shipping and import tax really add up :/
Thanks Bubblegum! I feel so lucky I got it before it sold out! From what I've heard Zathiya is a great company to buy through, so that's a shame about the shipping and tax. Just depends how much you want the bra I guess haha ;)
Yeah I do really want it..! Seems weird though haha, getting a bra from Poland (two countries away from me), buy it via the U.S. and have it shipped back here >.< Anyway, I'll go for leopard Kicia first, then see how compatible my boobs are with EM bras ;)
This is an older bra I had back before I lost weight but never wore much because it was always slightly too big in the cups for me and also too uncomfortable on my rib cage due to it being unlined (I found now I can't wear unlined bras because of this, as well as my boobs being too soft/heavy for them) but overall still a really nice bra, though I found even though with it being too big I found it kinda lacking with bottom projection (though that can be an issue for me in a lot of bras)
This bra is a little too big in the cup and a little too bust enhancing for my taste, but SO COMFORTABLE and supportive. I'm wearing it anyway until I can get more 60H Ewa Michalak bras.
I had to size up in the band to get the right fit. Even though this is a 60 band, it fits more like a 55, which is perfect for me. Iām a little concerned about how it will fit once the band softens and stretches with use, but I donāt like a super tight band so I think it will be fine.
This is my first S cut and I just love how the cups fit me. With lower gores, I tend to spill out even when thereās plenty of depth. The higher gore on this, along with the shape of the cup, means that isnāt an ...issue here.
The straps, of course, are a little wide for me, but not so wide that they're in danger of falling off. I think the problem is that I have pretty boney shoulders and the weight of my breasts tugs at the straps. When the straps are moved in, they rest on muscle and itās easier to carry the weight. Iāve started getting headaches caused partially by shoulder pain, so Iāve been worrying about strap placement more than usual. I started using strap cushions recently and that definitely helps with discomfort and also prevents the straps from sliding to the edge of my shoulders.
The color of this bra works nicely as a pale nude. The shape looks lovely from the front, but from the sideā¦ Holy boobs-on-a-shelf! Thereās no gentle sloping, just BAM, boob. Under thin shirts it looks pretty comical, but itās less noticeable with thicker clothing. I've included a couple of pictures to show what I mean. Read more 161 more words
Beautiful bra. The colors on this are striking against each other, but are also very subtle. Little fringe eyelash lace along the edges. Peacock blue and green.
I purchased this bra from another user here.
The gore sits nicely against my sternum.
I get amazing lift and shape from this. I always think I like CHP until I put this bra on. I get an unnatural look from this which I think has something to do with the splayed projection I have. Either way, I like it.
The straps are a little stretchy and I need them on the tightest setting to fit correctly. Unfortunately this means it'll stretch out eventually and I'll have to tighten them by sewing a straight stitch through them.
I adore this bra. The color combination is so pretty and feminine. The The CHP cut is one of my favorites, I get pretty major cleavage out of this. I also feel more contained in it than the PL or S (which is weird to me).
This was a purchase from a user here. I need to go back and check if there was any customization.
I could go up a cup size or two (but I start to size out of styles) also I do get some rubbing from the straps which I don't get from any Comexim bra but I seem to get from EM (60 bands). Also, the gore tacks.
I'll add detailed fit information later. I'm trying to get a basic review up after I wear one since I have quite s few to review.
Special order S bra from Brava lingerie. Unfortunately it does not work for me. Will be measuring to list. The cups curve inward too soon, leaving an awkward shape. Fabric is great, very pale. Unfortunately it came with some marks from shipping. This color would be a good nude for someone as pale as I am, if the shape was better.
Just looking through reviews, deciding whether or not I want to drop the $$$ for this bra. I'm trying to get an idea how this fits, as the reviews are all over the map here, with both positive and negative. As far as I can tell, looks-wise, it seems similar to Ewa Michalak S Kleksik (612) . As you are the only one with both that and this bra listed, would you please compare their fits? Or let me know if they are or aren't similar. I have many EM S bras, which I love, but I found the Kleksik off, so I won't take the chance on this one if they fit similarly. Thanks, in advance, for your help with this!
I just passed on my Kleksik, but it was in a smaller size. The Kleksik was pointy, the cup eventually rounded out but it took several washes to really settle properly. The cups on the Marcepanowa are a bit taller than an older S style I purchased at the same time, but they are also a little more closed and curved in at the top. In that way it is similar to the Kleksik, but the Marcepanowa isn't pointy like the Kleksik is. The Marcepanowa says in the description (like all S styles) that it is most suitable for a soft bust. Being so firm, I definitely found that it did not shape to me very well at all. While the volume is correct, the fact that my firm boobs won't shape to it makes it a no go.
I have the same gaping problem/dilema with my EM chp. I'm between sizes I think, and am waiting for a smaller size to show up in bratabase so I can try it out and see if I get a better fit. Sorry this one didn't fit for you.
