My shape: semi-conical, firm, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots, size and shape asymmetry on right side.
SM Koralik is a coral colored lace bra with light peach bows. The edges on the top and bottom are scalloped with peach and silver thread. The band stretches to about 29.25” before distorting, and the cups are around 13.5” deep. This was measured by inserting my knee into the cup and only stretching the cup lightly. At this size, the strap width has increased from .75” to 1” wide. This feels a bit odd but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
My 60JJ SM Tattoo was feeling a bit tight, sliding, ...and giving me side boob, so I oped to try another SM in the next size up. I was nervous about doing so because there is a huge jump in cup depth from a JJ to a K cup in EM bras. I am not disappointed by my purchase. The shape that I get under a shirt is quite rounded, and I cannot see the lace through a thin t-shirt. I do have a bit of a wiggly fabric at the gore on the top edge due to the shape mismatch and super wide set straps. This is not noticeable under clothing and does not affect the overall fit. The wrinkling I get on my smaller side is pretty bad compared to the previous size down, but I don’t feel unsupported on that side. I have not noticed any sliding while wearing this bra but I’ve only been testing it for a few hours. This bra also does the same gravity defying slope like the SM Tattoo and BM Antonina.
If this bra is typical of the SM fit, I like this cut despite Kaśka telling me that it wouldn’t work well for my size. The only part I have a hard time accepting is the size on the label. Read more 210 more words
It looks amazing on you. I love the colour of the lace!
This looks like a great fit honestly. I don’t listen to bra manufacturers anymore.
It looks absolutely perfect on you! If the straps weren't so far over (& in turn forcing the cups off your boobs) I'm positive the minor gore wrinkle would be gone. You fill the cups nicely, and the color looks gorgeous on your skin. :-) <3
Looks beautiful!
This one looks great on you!
And on top of looking good, the colour looks so so good on you!
brasaremean Coral is not a color that I'd normally pick, but I had a dream about this bra. I guess it worked out.
Okay got my bra...this is just a preliminary review (or maybe this is the actual one. lol). I'll add some more once I've worn the bra for a full day so I can get a better idea with regards to the fit.
So the bra is all over lace but it is lined with an inner mesh, non-stretch on the bottom of the cup and some stretchy fabric at the top. The maximum cup depth was measured by stretching the cup over the knee. This was recorded at 14 inches. The minimum cup depth was measured by hovering the cup between the knees and hanging the tape measure. This ...was recorded at 12 inches. Unstretched the band measured 22 inches, while stretched it was 27.5, making it TTS (i think) for a 28 band.
I got the 60K because I read that the Klejnot runs bigger in the cup and I wanted to try the 60 band to see if it would work. Did it work? The band did, I actually have it hooked up to the loosest setting and it's quite comfy. However the cups are a bit of an issue. Which, after I measured I was like, that's why. When I tried it on, the first thing I realised was a bit of some flattening (?) along the part where the stretchy mesh is, and then some quadding along the outer lace section. This is for the bigger breast. So no surprise there I guess. But what really got me, was that I was seeing the same flattening at the top of the small breast also. In addition to this, the bra doesn't tack. It stands about a finger's width away from my sternum. But if I'm being honest, a bra tacking has never been a deal breaker for me.
And all this being said it is still a wonderful bra. The issues aren't really visible under a shirt, so eh, (well *I* can see them, but that's because I know it's there). It still can be worn and it's still comfortable (well my few minutes of wearing it, anyways), so it's not a loss. Just not quite right.
It does make me curious, however, on whether or not I should try a 60KK. I thought about it in passing before, but now I'm actually wondering. I do feel a bit more secure with this one, but not overwhelmingly so when compared to my half-lace BM. (although I do feel I may have a preference towards the full lace option)
Also. Gravity-defying boobs!
Side Note: I'll add pictures later whenever I get the chance. Read more 322 more words
Bummer that it's a bit small in the cup. My Klejnot did run larger for sure. Maybe mine was a fluke though, instead of thr norm? I would definitely say go with the 60KKs! I still swear your breasts are a bit larger than mine, so a 60KK will fare better. Maybe even a 60L, especially for some models thst are firmer/snugger in the cup.
haha a 60L sounds huuuge ( I understand there are some models that will fit smaller though). But yes, the 60KK is looking like a sound bet. I'm just worried if I ask Kaska about it, they'll tell me no (considering it's not listed on their website). But you never know until you try.
It seems to be that way, or maybe it was at a time when the cups were running deeper?
The good thing is that, I can wear still wear it and it's not horribly small.
Frazzleberry You can always pull the "but my friend has this bra" trick... Kaska told me no on a 60K but I said "my friend has this and I want it" and she said ok. Very strange. Maybe she just says no sometimes just to see if you will push back?
good to know I'll have something to say, in case she says no (double posting, sorry..but I apparently have jumpy fingers that select add comment without finish typing, and the option to edit the previous comment isn't appearing)
True! I just looked at your measurements, and there are several differences compared to the one I got, not just the depth. Your cup is shorter, plus your wires and gore are wider. The wider wire will make the cups less projected, and in turn smaller as well. One of us got a rouge bra for sure!
You can confidently order the 60KK. Kaśka will say yes to any BM in the 60KK, I have never been told no, with 18 in that size so far. No worries with that one. In fact, I had it confirmed that a 60L BM is also possible. She doesn't recommend it, but will still do it. :-)
MamaPagan I realised that as well... I was like o.O well something's not right the whole time I was measuring. lol. The funny thing about the wires is that it doesn't seem that much wider when wearing it, but I guess that also goes hand-in-hand with the lower cup depth? Or am I off-base there?
Oh that's great to know about the 60KK (^_^)
Yes, with Ewa's bras I don't really notice much difference between the 6" & 6.25" wires *if* the depth is enough, but when it's too small to begin with it's more noticeable. With Comexim on the otherhand, 6" to 6.25" becomes a deal breaker on fit haha!
Yes, with all the things I read about comexim, I can understand a difference in wire width being a problem.
MamaPagan looking back at your other 60K BMs I noticed that the measurements are at least around a 15, so I'm wondering if mine was the fluke.
Side note re: the gore tacking, it also doesn't have that overlapping gore on the inside..so that would contribute to it also.
I had noticed both as well Frazzleberry. The gore being wider is very odd for Ewa, as they should always overlap slightly at minimum per Kaska in our range. I have gotten a few oddly smaller cup depths before myself though, so while disappointing for you, it doesn't surprise me completely.
With this one and Bibi Black & Flamenco, it's as if the upper lace is sewn on looser & more open in comparison, making them more spacious and accommodating.
That actually makes me nervous, as I cannot do gores that wide, so I hope my orders don't get filled by that seamstress. :-/
I wonder if it's worth mentioning to Kaska?
*crosses fingers* I hope it doesn't get filled by that seamstress either. They don't overlap but the top or the wire channels do touch. So maybe it won't be too bad? :/ (I know I'm probably reach here)
Oh, I see. That does makes sense. I think the problem for me is that stretch matterial under the upper lace section. There's only so much and no more stretch it can accommodate.
Just a thought, my new Bibi Black also has very loose top lace. The old one did not.
Hmm.. this does make it a bit difficult in deciding which size to go for when ordering. But seeing as it tends towards a more open lace, I wonder if I should try another 60K in the BM Bibi Black this time?
I think honestly the Bibi Black construction is kinda wonky and the make inconsistent. If I were you I'd consider going for one of the other lace BMs and maybe order the 60KK?
Just as an example, I got the Bibi Black in 70FF knowing it runs larger in the cup. What I got tho is a pretty shallow at the wire bra that is effectively smaller than my other 70FF and keeps sliding down. I thought the cup would stretch with wear like my old Bibi Black did... but nope.
brasaremean Ahhh, okay. I guess I really should do the 60KK, I have no idea why I'm avoiding it, when I already have the 65K and that works, so they should theoretically have the same volume..
Indeed they most likely do.
Frazzleberry, I am confident you shouldn't order smaller than the 60KK. Even if you get one that's a bit more open on top, it would be better for you, a future bra to grow into, instead of another one that's too small, right? You have plenty of the too small bras already.
@brasaremean That is interesting that the top was more open than the other.
I did order Flamenco in a 60KK to compare it, even though I can still wear thr 60K one. I also have both Klejnot and Bibi Black on my bottomless wish list in 60KK for the same reason. :-)
What will be most frustrating for me is our sizes are custom and not returnable, so if we get a wild seamstress, the result can catastrophic at our expense.
I hope Ewa isn't becoming like Comexim and unreliable. .....
The more I think about it the more I realise MamaPagan the difference between 70FF and G shouldn't be this big! Idk how I feel about it lol. I guess it depends on the whims of seamstresses.
And that is scary, and expensive! ! Yet at our propensity for growing instead of shrinking, I do think a bit big is far better than a bit small at this point for us all.
Very expensive, I have spent more than I care to admit on Ewa bras and it stings lol.
Me too, so believe me, I feel your pain!
MamaPagan I do think it's probably one of those 1 in 10 chances where you receive an off-size. Or at least, I hope so.
aaah why do I take so long to type brasaremean I didn't see you post, and the responses that came after.
This does appear worrying. I'm limited to one order at a time due to my customs duty limit but when I do conversion rates. one bra is pretty expensive in and of itself for my country's currency, so I can understand where you're coming from.
Frazzleberry There is at least one rogue seamstress, I have BM Grace in 60JJ and it had 6.5" wires, and made it super wide and shallow. I want to order that bra again but scared I'd get her making it.
Frazzleberry I'm in the same boat, but I'm limited to 2 per order. Still tho, paying for their stupid (illegal) Paypal fee, then shipping, then extra for the straps it adds up. I don't mind tho, I just wish the strap thing didn't make the bras non-returnable.
brasaremean ah man that paypal fee. It's really high, it takes an expensive but affordable bra into the higher region. But if there are two things I'm willing to spend money on, it's bras and food, lol.
Sovavosi I can see how that will be a problem. I wonder if it's the same rogue seamstress who swapped out the colours (the black with the brown) on the La Gloria? But those measurements were at least consistent right?
pictures up on the main page for 60K...but they're spaced between the other pics so the order is a bit messed up :/
With all these oddities, how much do you want to bet Ewa has a newer seamstress? Maybe one that left Comexim....this would explain a lot.......? ;-) :-| :-o :-(
Definitely a new seamstress. Hopefully things will get better as there's always a bit of a learning curve on the job.
Frazzleberry and brasaremean One way to avoid the Ewa Paypal usage fees (& paypal conversion fee) would be to order them through Magda. With the customs import fee factor, I'd really suggest you ask Magda for a quote for 1-2 Ewa bras , letting her know the customization need (size &/or and straps) and see how it compares. With all the fees involved her price with shipping is likely to be lower thsn Ewa's, and with the potential of fully trackable shipping. Just a thought!
Just saw the "pictures are up" comment-how did I miss that one?!?
Wow! Ummmmm, makes a great date bra for sure! Knockout cleavage. Max capacity has been exceeded for sure, wow.
Sadly, if you were to ask Ewa, I'm sure she would say it fits perfectly! O.o ......... My boobs look so tiny pinned nexted to yours now, haha! :-D
Definitely do not order smaller than a 60KK, and if this is the new norm for the 60K, and above cups follow suit, I'd say 60L or 60LL to get a decent fit with proper coverage.
MamaPagan that is definitely an option (re: trying Magda). So whenever next I'm ordering, I'll ask her about it.
haha, maybe it's just the angle? I try to get it directly in front, so...idk..But yes lots of oomph on that one, lol. I'm actually wearing it right now and I'm seeing quadding through my blouse so I definitely won't be going lower than a 60KK.
I'm hoping I can find a good midground with it, because I don't think my smaller breast would be able to manage anything higher than that.. I know everyone always says to fit the larger one..but I can compromise with a good midground.
We'll see when I order the 60KK...hopefully this won't be the new norm for the 60K though, because I don't even want to think about how that will affect the other sizes.
(I'm crossing my fingers even more now, that Nazeli turns out to be a good option)
Agreed Frazzleberry ! And honestly, you need to do what makes you most comfortable in regards to asymmetry. If fitting to the larger side isn't what you're comfortable with, then it is fine to go with a middle ground, especially with the BM and SF styles & that stretchy lace. :-)
Stretch lace is my ultimate love. lol. It just works so well.
Agreed! It is bra bliss. :-)
Gotta admit tho, the lift is tons better than Bezowa Perla!
And support!
haha yes brasaremean the lift is much better that the Bezowa Perla, and the support is about two levels higher than the Perla. I think because the material has less give than the Bezowa Perla/mixed with the overall construction.
Granted, after I adjusted the Bezowa Perla, The lift was better / not as great as this, but I guess a more natural lift? Support for the Perla (after adjustments) was on par with my Jasmine also.
Frazzleberry Another thought worth mentioning is that the cups can (& most likely will) stretchout, so with a bit of wear this one should fit a bit better. I just pulled mine out & remeasured the band and cup-band hasn't stretched out but the cups now measure a full inch larger to a max of 16" so I am confident yours will as well. The base of this cup has more flexibility than most of my BMs as well.
MamaPagan that's good to know. Funny thing is, if the under layer had as much stretch as the outer lace, I don't think I'd be having this problem. Because the upper lace section does (as you all have said) seem to have been sewed looser than the other sections.
But that's great to know it can stretch to fit.
I know what you mean, I would love full stretch cups, but do realize it would lessen the lift abilities and support of the cup, so it's a trade off for sure. (And I have actually asked Kaska about full stretch cups. She said a strong no. :-/) Half is better than none though, and the base does have some flexibility, so wear it with the intention of stretching those cups out!! :-D
Full stretch cups would be great but I do understand the need for a structured base, so I'll take that trade-off 😉. I was actually talking about the upper section with the stretch fabric underneath the lace. Sorry, I didn't explain it properly 🙈. I'm not sure what that material is called. I guess that's the stretchy knitwear fabric she mentions in the description?
I do plan on wearing it, with the hope that it stretches though.
I can tell you all my bras stretched a bit after a cold water wash.
Great! (Who kneew cups stretching would be a good thing, lol) Is it just the all over lace BM, or the half lace too?
Because I've washed my Bezowa Perla, a few times already and haven't seen any noticeable stretching. Wait nevermind..I tend to wash it in warm water so that could be why.
I never noticed any stretching on the bottom of the cup. I've had the top of the cups stretch out though (Sofia).
Not the half laces, just the full lace. But not by a significant amount stretch though, Just ever so slightly--but you never know it might be enough. I also tend to leave my bras in cold water for way longer than the 15 minutes recommended on Soak... who knows if that plays a part.
Sovavosi it sucks hearing Sofia has so many fit (and now stretching) issues. I wanted that bra SO bad.
Wait, did you notice any shrinking in warm water Frazzleberry ? Cause I just might wash mine in warm water if that's the case haha.
Aw man and the Sofia is so pretty too. I really like people bras.
@brasaremean , I soak my bras waaay longer than 15 minutes too. I tend to forget I'm washing them so they're soaking for longer than necessary 🙈
I shall test this theory out even though I just did my braundry. Tomorrow.
brasaremean The stretching is actually a good thing with Sofia, when I first got it it cut into my roots near the strap. It's fine now. I also live in a state where cold water coming out of the tap only exists Dec-Feb, so not really possible test that most of the time :)
A lot of my cups seem to stretch, but maybe it's just the size/weight of my breasts, or that they are "bullies" towards the cups. :-D I wash mine in cold water (washing machine in bra bags) then often do a quick hit in the dryer to take some of the dampness away in the same bra bags before hanging them from my bra tree. [Don't judge me. I can hear all the thoughts in your heads! ;-) ]
What kind of dryer do you have? I actually have a program on mine for 'delicates' but I'm still scared it'll kill the elasticity in the bras.
I have a Frigidaire Affinity a ton of settings (bulky, normal, causual, timed, plus max, high, normal, low, air dry fir temp level, then high, normal, low, damp for dry level.
@Frazzleberry The mesh is called tulle by the way.
@brasaremean I *think* they should be good if you put it in the bra bags on the delicate setting. I did that for my non-EM bras and they were fine. (I hand wash the EMs especially the Perla because I find the lace on it very soft and don't want to damage it)
Mine don't get damaged in the wash, it's the post wash traumas, like not hooking the bra closed before shoving them in drawers, getting them too close to my Royce Sports bra velcro, my shirts/arms rubbing against them...ugh, I am rough on my bras!
Haha MamaPagan I know that struggle quite well. The hooks from my bras are always snagging onto the lace of another
Yes! Thank you! Glad to know it's not just me. :'-/
okay so and update. the cup materials seem to have stretched, so quadding reduced a bit, but, oddly enough, I feel like the outer wires may be resting on my breast tissue (then again if the cup is too small it wouldn't be odd). I just can't tell for sure.
You can tell when you take off the bra and see wire marks!
Wire marks where? I always have marks everywhere.
For me it leaves very distinct wire marks on the sides of my body so it's easy to tell if it's on breast tissue.
brasaremean yep, that's why I say that, because of the marks I see, it looks right about on it...but at the same time I'm wondering if it's just part of the regular tissue, instead of breast tissue (since it's borderline)
A disclaimer with those marks though: when the bra is on- and especially when the cup is too small-the breast tissue can and will be squished towards those wires, so when you take the bra off the marks may not look like they are on the tissue even if they were while the bra is on. Better test in this case is to palpate around the wire while the bra is on, to feel the tissue. If you can reach inside the cups at the wire, you should be able to tell.
This bra is really fun! Light pink isn’t a part of the color scheme that I regularly wear, but this one looked really good and flirty when I put it on. This bra one checks all the fitting boxes, but I would like to note that the cups seem taller than my Oksana. Also, I get quadboob if I use the pads with my regular strap length, but if I make them longer it goes away. (My straps are usually fairly tight, with me being really high set and 5’5”)
hmm..these measurements have me thinking I may be able to try something in this style..That note about the quadding is making me wonder though. Does it still quad without the pads?
side note: yes, on the stock photos this does seem like a cute bra. Also I completely understand tightening the straps. I'm around 5ft and generally have to tighten my straps to around juuust behind the top of my shoulders, they're not digging in though, so it's all good.
Frazzleberry Nope, it doesn’t quad without the pads. You could try the CHP cut, since it is really open on top.(+ good immediate projection) MamaPagan also wears the CHP cut in 60K, so you might be able to wear it.
Side note: The straps are really wide set, (not UK wide, but wide) so most have to angle them in a fair amount. My shoulders are more muscular and broad than the average woman’s, making the straps not as bad for me, but for some it can be a problem.
Forgot to add: I got quadboob with the pad when the straps were tightened virtually all the way (fairly normal for me) but I making them longer got rid of the quadboob.
_booknerd_ this does sound like it can probably work then. Thanks!
I guess I know what my next style to try will be ^_^
Frazzleberry Good luck! My bd is coming up, so I’m waiting till then to order new bras. (Probably will get SMN Buduar, Pl Crop Top, Flamenco and a bikini top)
_booknerd_ awesome! I hope those work out for you ;) (The flamenco looks really nice..I like the red and black combo)
Yeah I'm waiting on my other orders to come in first, so I can probably get a better idea of my size in EM, before i make anymore decisions... I have a 60K in BM Klejnot that on its way (idk where it is though, lol) and an SF that's being prepared.. So we'll see how those work out
Frazzleberry Yeah, I get waiting for orders to come in to pin point your size. I really wanted to order bras during the Black Friday sale, but I was nervous about the size. Good luck, I hope you narrow down your size!
Thanks!
Yes _booknerd_ I can wear the 60K CHP, but I do have some caveats to the style.
The cups barely cover my nipples. (I do have taller boobs though so my nipples tend to sit higher in bras than thry do on most women.)
The wires under the arms dig in painfully. I'm not sure if it's the wire width, wing height, or due to the cups being a bit small so the wires sitting on the breast tissue. I wish I could figure it out. It wasn't an issue at first though, so it may have to do with a slight increase in size or change in my breast shape.
I get a bit bulgy with the cups without cookies. Last time I wore it (10/13/18) I was quadding and I had to take it off mid day due to the wire pain. I put it away into storage as I couldn't stand wearing it any longer. :-/
I love the look the CHP gives, nice and rounded yet not over the top. I'm just not liking the lack of comfort. I thought about trying to order a 60KK some time in the future to see if it made a difference on the comfort, but at last count, the 60K is the size cap for the CHP.
I can't say if the CHP would work well for you Frazzleberry, and would worry that the cups wouldn't be as secure as needed for day to day wear for you. Though it would potentially make a sexy date bra, just don't run or jump in it, haha. I still feel your boobs are bigger than mine, so I'd fear you would fall out of the low open topped cups on this style. (Again making it a good potential date bra, haha.)
MamaPagan Oh dear. I do want to try one of Ewa's padded bras but I may have to put off this particular shape to a later date, or at least until I can say what works for me best.
I was hoping that with the more open top the shape it would give less of that east-west look, but then if it's a toss-up between shape and comfort/security, the latter will always take the higher priority for me.
*sigh*
Sorry. :-( You can always check the cup heights of the ones _booknerd_ & I have entered and see if that would be a "safe" height for you. I still get a bit of an E-W look with the CHP but it definitely isn't as bad as with the S or PL so you are correct there.
My shape: semi-conical, firm, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots, size and shape asymmetry on right side.
My first Ewa plunge in 60K. I was nervous about this because of the strap issue. The straps are still set quite wide, and I get the characteristic gore gaping because of the straps. The strap gore gap is a dilemma though. If I move the straps in, the cups might be too closed on top and cut into my tall shallow roots. I always have this problem when I outgrow a bra, this is the first place I notice cutting in and it makes my hands go numb.
I have two cookies ...on my right side, and it causes weird things to happen to this bra. The gore does not fully tack with the cookies in, but it’s the only way to get my super short right breast to get closer to the top of the cup. I probably will not wear this bra without the cookies, as the gaping on the right side is too much without them.
The band on this one actually stretches to 28”. I am super happy about this one, and I can wear it on the loosest set of hooks and feel secure in it, when I actually manage to hook all of the hooks.
Overall, I am very pleased with this plunge. The design, the band length, and the fit really just work for me. Read more 128 more words
So is the Pl Zenith part lace on top then instead of a full foam cup, or am I misinterpreting the pictures?
So pretty on you. I see your gore issue. Hmmmmm
This is beautiful, glad it works for you!
Calluna The lace is on the outside, the cups are full foam underneath.
The cookie pockets on this are rather big and black, so it does kind of look like it's not all foam underneath.
Oh ok. It reall looks like it’s the straight lace on top!
The colours of this one always get me, it's so beautiful!
It looks so good on you and I am jealous! (My SF Zenith has yet to arrive.) The colors are spectacular.
Thank you for mentioning the "when I actually manage to hook all of the hooks" as I thought I was the only one who manages to miss the middle hook almost every time. (Though I think maybe I just unhook it when I go to the 3rd hook....?)
I always do something weird with the hooks. I either miss one, cross hook it, or hook the second hook on the first eye. I have to get my husband to check it 🤨
Remember back as teens when you put your bra on backwards, hooking it in the front then whipping it back around and putting it on? Ha! That was so much easier, yet absolutely not supportive.
I have done the mishook as well, and with the major V back bras, the cross over among rows too.
MamaPagan I still put my bra on like that. So does my mom... Then I adjust and scoop and swoop..
I tried to do that the first time I had a proper fitting bra. The wires got stuck and poked me.
It wears out the band :(
Yeah, I'm with Sovavosi on that one, trying to shimmy the wires around and then up over my boobs? Not happening. Boobs first then band then straps. No other way works for me now. :-/
Well my waist is also 31” so I can’t clasp it down there in any case. I put the cups on my boobs then clasp it in the back, then pull up the straps.
Yeah my waist is a bit larger than my ribs as well. Go with what works best now, right?
Yup. Everybody has their own best way. :) I dont put it around my waist though (I could). I put it around my ribs and turn it around. I dunno how. It's how I've always done it. I'd never get my bra on otherwise. I have no husband and my boyfriend would never help me put on a bra. He's too eager to get my out of it :P
40+ and single "problems". Bwa ha ha ha ha
I put my bra on upside down, then flip the cups up and put on the straps. I know it’s supposed to wear out the bra but it’s the only way I can figure out how to get them on.
i am not coordinated enough to fasten behind me. I've tried and tried and it just frustrates me too much.
But I'm so jealous - still waiting on my FB Zenith I ordered in November!!
Hmm. I didn't know that it wears out the band. I put it on upside down and backwards, not on my waist, but at my underbust. I definitely cannot whip it around, lol, but I do slowly turn it around and then lean forward as I put the cups on. I have a super hard time doing up the back when it is behind me. And I also end up with the 2nd hook undone frequently, I think it happens when I do up the 3rd..
A couple of months ago I was at an apple orchard (only applicable because people are walking around, reaching up to get apples, and generally mild excercise/movement). I saw a woman walking in front of me in a very clingy shirt, and I could see right through the shirt that her bra was hanging on by 1 hook. I was torn about whether to say anything to her, because I was imagining it popping and boobs flying out, but she was with a group of men, and I couldn't see anyway to say anything without it being terribly embarrassing. I hope she made it through the day!
veggiechic oh that's horrible! I think I still would have whispered it to her. You would figure she could feel it. Or maybe the other hook snapped mid-day so she didn't have much choice? My brain is overthinking this scenario, haha!
MamaPagan I didn't feel it until I saw it, then it felt different after I clasped it.
MamaPagan I know, I have thought about it for a couple months! I just have to hope she made it through her day without disaster.
Dark Magenta normally comes in a PL, but I ordered it as a CHP in this case. I also have the PL Dark Magenta in a 60KK if you want to compare the photos regarding fit differences between the two styles.
The CHP style cup construction consists of 3 vertical sections, and the band comes with 3 hooks and 4 rows of eyes, at least in my size. This particular customization appears to have some variation, as the way it was made for me is different than the stock photo that Kaska emailed me when I ordered the bra. See the stock photo under the main listing for ...this bra for comparison to my version. The stock photo has the lace covering the whole cup and no purple ribbon at the seams, but my bra came with a dip in the lace at the gore and the purple ribbon over the seams of the cup. Both versions are nice, but if you have a preference, make it known when ordering to avoid disappointment upon arrival. The CHP style cup is a light padded foam lined cup with cookie pockets and removable cookies. The cookies can be removed, used to give extra oomph, or added to one side only to correct asymmetry between the breasts.
As for specifics, the band measures 23.5” and stretches to 30” which is big for a 60 band. The cup depth has a conservative flat measurement of 12.25” and stretches to 14” which is about standard. The gore is 4” tall and .56” wide, which was as expected. The cup width is 6” which is what I prefer as with the open top on the CHP this allows the cups to push the breasts up instead of to the side. The cup height is 8” as anticipated, with a wing height of 5.1”. Read more 198 more words
My shape: semi-conical, firm, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots, size and shape asymmetry on right side.
SF Blueberry looks very similar to BM Kleks on first glance. It has the same dark blue lace and clear gems hanging from the gore and straps. This bra is a lot stiffer than Kleks, and a lot stiffer than any other SF that I’ve tried in the past. It is so stiff that the strap rings make creaking noises when I move. I am thinking that because of the super stiff fabric, this bra is a bit less stretchy and thus smaller than other SFs. I have only Nibynic to compare ...it to, but Blueberry is only 13” deep whereas Nibnyic is 13.5”. The band on this one stretches to 28.75”, and I am glad to see that Ewa made the band around the correct size instead of over 29” for once.
This bra sort of fits. I’m currently at low tide and this bra is sliding pretty badly on my larger side. I get a lot of wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, and I feel like the bra is pushing me east-west. I certainly don’t feel as up front as I did in the Koralik. I do feel like this bra you would have to own in two different sizes, in order to have it fit during size changes over the month.
1/7/19: The cups are too tight and doesn't seem to be stretching. It's not worth the discomfort to keep wearing it. Read more 144 more words
Regarding east-west, I noticed that too. On top of it, my boobs sort of point downward in it as well.
I think I kind of get an orange in a glass effect with it--the same wrinkling at the bottom of the cups you are talking about. The cups of mine are a lot narrower than my BMs which I don't know if it's standard or an outlier but either way--dislike.
That being said it doesn't look half bad on you! Despite the fit issues, I think it looks really good.
The wires match my SF Szaron 60JJ, so they seem about standard. Nibnyic actually has narrower wires but a deeper cup. Might just be an outlier, you would think all of these wires would be the same based on size, but who knows if the seamstress grabbed the wrong one when she made it.
You know that is a very real possibility! Who knows what goes on there... I got a brown La Gloria when everyone else got a black, lol.
It does look gorgeous on you!!
I've notice the wire used varies from 6-6.25" in our range without any logical consistency, so it really must be seamstress driven.
I got a bit of decompression pain taking it off. I guess it is a bit small 😑
Sorry. :-( I hate that feeling, too.
I get pain taking off my bras too but it goes away. Are you sure that’s compression pain? I asked my obgyn and she said that’s normal if you have bigger boobs.
I get that same feeling (I think?) It's like an overall breast throbby tenderness when taking off certain bras. It's always the ones that are a bit too small in the cup, so I always figured it was the same thing as Sovavosi, too tight of a bra and decompression. It does go away for me within an hour or so, but not fun when I'm feeling it.
I’ve never asked mine about it. It feels similar to when I try to stuff myself into a very small bra. It does go away after a while.
My shape: semi-conical, firm, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots, size and shape asymmetry on right side.
I think this is my favorite of the new SF releases thus far. This bra’s fabric is really soft, smooth, and flexible, unlike the Blueberry and Nibynic. It’s also an outstanding shade of purple! There’s a very pretty detailing on the straps. The fabric feels very similar to SF Szaron. The triangular piece at the strap is softer and less biting on my armpits.
I think that because of the more flexible fabric, that the band stretches more than the others, to 29”. Not the worst, but I’m nervous it will wear out faster. In all other aspects it feels like a standard SF. Wide set straps, wrinkling at the bottom of the cup and at the gore. I’m happy with this one despite those ever present fit issues.
That colour is spectacular! It looks gorgeous on you
I agree. The colour is spectacular! It looks amazing!
It looks so good!
Thanks everyone :)
I love this bra on you, Sovavosi. It's stunning. It's too bad she didn't do the band in the purple all the way around. It wouldn't been even more goregous.
I kinda like the black with the purple. It looks really good with the panties and the black stockings in their stock photos.
i had the trapez, but i never loved the cross-hatch pattern on the bottom. i suppose its probably still in my too-small drawer, actually 75JJ - Ewa Michalak » Sf Trapez (908)
It looks wonderful on you, and is such a stunning color! I can't wait for mine to arrive.
I got this on Thursday as well, but I was tired and didn’t add it. I think my is also a bit brownish brasaremean! It’s a stunning bra, and I definitely like the Bm cut for when I need to appear smaller. It is really comfy, and feels like it’s not there. The one downside is that it doesn’t feel as secure, but I was expecting that. All in all - extremely satisfied with it.
Ah! Weird, right? That some got black and some of us got brown! So odd.
I would love one with brown instead of black. I love Earthy tones!! I am so jealous of you two. Mine had the same coverage as normal which is much lower than yours for sure. I thought most of them that I've seen did?
I would actually suggest trying a cup size down, as this one looks great on you but does look a bit too big to me. Based on what you stated in the review and how it looks, I am confident that you would be happier with the fit in a 60JJ, as it would provide less coverage and a much more secure feeling for sure. But if you are happy with the fit and feel at this size, by all means, it's great and doable. :-D
Can't wait to see the measurements added!! (Please please please & the other new ones too!! :-) )
I definitely agree with cup size down now that I see pics. Maybe you can ask about the brown one, MamaPagan ?
I did ask brasaremean. Kaska said it wasn't an option. :-( You two just got the right seamstress who snuck it in! I shall live vicariously in envy through you two. I can't get all the good ones though, right? It's only fair that some slip by!
That is so weird!
I ordered la Gloria from Forever Yours and I'm the opposite of you, MamaPagan - I'm praying its NOT with brown lol
I ordered it in 65F after reading to cup size down.
I also ordered 70E for my Mom in this style as well as 2 sizes in Oksana.
This is an "adventure" I'll be sure to log during Christmas week when she arrives.
That woman measures 29" under bust but INSISTS she needs a 34 band. She says she gets bulges when she tries a 32. I'm convinced she's wearing bras with super narrow bands and too-low wings. We shall see...
I ordered her 32's in the EMs and wont let her see the tags lol
Whether we keep them or not, I'll photo and measure them all for the database.
If you ordered from Forever Yours I don't think they will be brown.
I wanted to order the matching Panties but now I'm scared they will be black lol
brasaremean You'll just have to send Kaska an email with a photo of your bra and say, "my panties must match my bra please. Somewhere in your shop there's a seamstress who used brown trim on my La Gloria bra. Ask her to sew my knickers!" Lol
That's not a bad idea AprilGoulding! @brasaremean I wouldn't word it exactly like that, but maybe ask what seamstress did your bra and specifically request she make the panties maybe? Wouldn't want to get her in trouble for deviating from the standard.
When I asked Kaska, it was one of those "would it be possible to get La Gloria with brown instead of black base and trim, for a woodsy/earth tone bra?" She said no, it's not available. (No brown base may be the key to my no though, as she did state Kawa for example had a black base not brown.) I also had asked about the reverse, with Kawa having a green base like Zielony, and Fioletowy with a green base, & Zielony with purple instead of black lace. No to all those as well. (No green base firm enough is available for unlined bras, green with purple overlay would look dull.....wait....what? I love those colors together!!!) I think I often test the Ewa customization boundries! :-D
I eagerly await your holiday adventure AprilGoulding : -) I hope everything fits perfectly all around!
That's pretty funny there's a seamstress out there sneaking in brown base into a black base bra. Lol
MamaPaganbrasaremean - oh my, yes. I do see how my wording might get someone in trouble :/
The Newfie in me is loud and proud in it - we use colloquial speech that's often interpreted as abrupt or rude, when really not meant to be ;)
@mamapagen I love green with purple too. It's kinda mermaid-ish :)
@mamapagen Could you tell me, please, how the Wersal sizes compared to La Gloria? I am pretty certain you have them both...
I'm always looking out for the little guy and even if it wouldn't be an issue, I just figure if I was told no but it's been done, someone might get dinged for doing it which we don't want, especially when we like the changes being done!! :-)
Mermaid colors, yes!! Add the right shade of blue into the mix and we'd be set! (Like Wersal-that shade would blend beautifully with the purple and green!!)
I think Wersal fits pretty comparable to La Gloria, except it only has 3 hooksets instead of the standard 4 on most Ewa bras. Cup wise, thry are the same though.
MamaPaganbrasaremean I know that I could go down a cup size, but considering that I’m at my lowest point right now (there’s about a cup size difference between lowest and biggest), and still growing, I don’t want a bra that will only last me a month. (Funny thing - I could barely get my hand in the cup to scoop and swoop, so I took the photos half scoop. I realized it after taking the bra off, and seeing the wire markings out of my IMF)
You know your body better than we do, so indeed, follow your instincts. :-)
MamaPagan I’ll measure all my bras ASAP, but I finally uploaded the pictures for my Kleks. (I was much more scooped in, so that’s nice)
Thanks _booknerd_ I look forward to the measurements :-) Yep, that one looks like a better fit. With the stretch lace on top, the BM is quite expandable though, so if you do find the extra coverage and wide set straps to be bothersome, you could consider a size down. Even at high time it should fit. My breasts vary by more than a cup and the 60KKs still work well at both high and low tide for me, with a few exceptions that run smaller.
My shape: semi-conical, firm, splayed, narrow width, tall shallow roots, size and shape asymmetry on right side.
I’ve been having a lot of problems with my bras lately, painful side boob and sliding. I’m really happy that this one isn’t giving me those issues. I like the SFs, but it has always been a cut that would usually side down on me. This hasn’t yet, and I’m crossing my fingers that it doesn’t.
Nibynic is hard to photograph. In Ewa’s photos, it looked rather velvety. In mine, you can see that the fabric is actually rather stiff and shiny. This bra has the same stiffness as Blueberry but is deeper ...than that bra. It’s a kind of plainness that I love. Non-obtrusive under shirts, and great for days when frilly girliness isn’t your thing.
The straps on this are set super wide and are 1” thick! The band isn’t that stretchy. It measures a little over 23”, which is generally a bad sign. However, it only stretches to about 28.5”; good for those that need a tighter 60 band. It feels really comfortable despite the super wide set straps. Read more 78 more words
It's a very simple nude! I like it! Would you say it's like Ewa Michalak Sf Gładzioch Beż (849) kinda but in a different shade? I did think it looked velvety on the stock photos, but it's obviously not in your photos.
I've not tried Ewa Michalak Sf Gładzioch Beż (849). To me it feels like a stiffer version of 60JJ - Ewa Michalak » Sf Milk Chocolate. It has the same button decorations on it too. It fits slightly different than the ones with lace and bows, like the top part just fits me better than the lace does.
It looks great on you!! The color is a wonderful match for your skin tone.
I thought so too! It almost looks the exact shade!
It's actually a bit darker than my skin, this was taken with a flash. Close enough though! :)
This bra I had ordered from MagdaBras4you to try a half lace BM. This was one of the ones caught up in the "we are too busy to ship them right now" Ewa issue. I feel like because of that, this bra is rather poorly constructed. I will compare this to BM Fluo, which is my best fitting BM.
The band on Perla is 29.5" long, which is not the longest 60 band I've ever received from Ewa, but is too big to be wearable. I can get away with 29" sometimes on the tightest/second tightest hooks but the band will still ride up. For contrast, ...Fluo is 27" long. I've read that Fluo was considered tight by many, but I prefer having my bands shorter than average rather than longer.
The cup width on Perla is 6.5" wide vs Fluo's 6.125" wide. I prefer a 6" wide cup. At 6.5" wide, my tissue splays to the side and I can't fill the cups. In addition, the wires do not completely fill the channel. The wires in this one seem to be the Nike swoosh wires that are normally used in the SF cut. There is .5" of empty space at the top of the channel on each side.
The cup height on Perla is 10", Fluo is 9.375". 10" high seems to be the new standard for the 60K BMs I have received, and this is too tall for my sloping roots. I can fill the bottom but not the top, and I get no lift out of this bra when these super tall cups are combined with the wide wires.
The wings and gore are higher than Fluo. I think this would be a problem if I could actually wear the bra, but they did not bother me as I only tested it out for a few minutes.
I am done buying BMs for a while because I keep getting bras that will never fit me. It's gone from my best fitting bra to my worst, and I am sadder for it. Read more 234 more words
The lazy J wires! I love them in the SF but they throw the fit off when used in the BMs. I have experienced the same issue so I know exactly what you mean.
I am sorry this was such a poorly made bra. It is so frustrating, and I feel your pain. Big hugs honey, as I know how much money you have lost on poorly constructed bras.
It's okay. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse at this point writing about it, but I figured this post might help someone else at some point.
Every review is helpful. Thank you for writing it and for sharing the data and your experience. 💙
Ahh geez, that's really disappointing. :( I'm so sorry this was such a bad experience. It makes it all the worse knowing how far it came to get to you and how long you had to wait for it. Believe me, I've been there, done that. Put it up as a listing here and see if someone else could use it. At the very least you'd get some of your money back, and someone else may find it fits them. I also find that listing Ewas on eBay works, as well. It's worth a shot!
Oh my...So Sorry for you. It really is a shame.
Bent the wires on this one. The wires are still a Nike swoosh shape, but it is fitting better (band shorter, more boob in front instead of at the side). Hurray for reclaiming bras from the dead bra bin!
I bought this as a replacement for my 60JJ which I have outgrown. This bra has a 29" max stretched band, but I can wear it on the 3rd set of hooks without too much trouble. I tend to wear my bands as loose as possible, even to the point of being wiggly because I am afraid of stretching out the eyes. The cups are too tall for me, but they fit well enough when I put a shirt on over it. Comparing the cup heights in a spreadsheet, I think I've come up with this pattern for all the 60Ks that I currently have.
9.375" height fits best, ...no severe apex wrinkling. 9.5" height is too tall, but not very noticeable. 9.75" to 9.875" tall is around 1 cup too big, but under a tight shirt the extra fabric doesn't bunch up and it's fine. 10" is 2+ cups too large and unwearable.
My cup height tolerance also seems to be based on wire width. The wider the wires, the less tall of a cup I can tolerate. 6" is best, but Ewa doesn't use 6" wires in her 60K bras. I've gotten 6.125" and 6.25" wires, and the narrower wires were better.
I find all of this fascinating as the BM cuts are all supposed to be the same. I can understand the band lengths being off accounting for stretchiness of the material, but there is no excuse for the cups themselves to cut at different heights. Read more 135 more words
I was really looking forward to having a red bra to try under white shirts. However, this bra is another Ewa fail. The band stretches to 31". I'm pretty sure I can stretch it more, I just didn't want it to break. The cups are 10" tall. I am very sensitive to cup height, most of the 60K BMs are too tall for me but I can wear them because the amount of extra fabric is not very noticeable. At 10", the amount of extra fabric is equal to 2+ cup sizes. I am drowning in fabric and sizing down will probably only yield a smaller bottom half of the cup, not a shorter cup.
Ewa has really been disappointing me with her bra creations as of late. Of all the recent ones I have ordered, two have had 10" cups and only one had the band size under 28". Her randomness is swinging more wildly these days, and I wonder if she's having some turnover with her seamstresses that are causing such issues.
oh no, this is very disappointing. Sorry that it happened :(
I know from past experience that sizing down in her bras doesn't always yield expected results, or I would just order it again. I'd probably get a 9.5" tall cup (still too tall) and 13" bottom (too small). It's okay. I'm not hurting for bras but I'm pissed off that the money I spent just went in the garbage.
I understand the feeling well..the worst part is that I still need around two well fitting bras TT_TT
I'm sorry. :(
It's alright..I guess..I'm hoping I have better luck with the SFs but I still need to wait and save a bit before I buy another bra
Looking at my spreadsheet, the SFs in the same size as the BMs are about half an inch to an inch shorter than a BM in the same size. I don't know how this would affect you but it's good information to have!
Such a disappointment! Sorry it didn't work for you but at least it has aided you in your bra enlightenment. What an expensive journey it is!
This bra is so pink. It's such a bright, eye blinding pink that I can see it through most shirts. This was one of several BMs that MamaPagan sent over for me to try, prior to me receiving my very late Black Friday order. When I first tried it on, I was so comfortable in it that I did not want to take it off. The band is quite tight compared to to most of the BMs that I currently have, stretching to 27". It's wonderful, I can wear it on the loosest set of hooks. The gore being slightly higher than the 60JJ somehow ...results in it no longer stabbing me in the boobs.
I really do love this BM and I am so glad that I got to try it out. The only niggling worry I have about it is that the apex is too high. All of Ewa's apices are too high for me, and when I look at this one in the mirror it looks far worse to me than any other size or bra. When I look at it in a photo, it doesn't seem so bad. Overall, I'm really pleased with this bra and wish that Ewa would continue to make her 60 bands tight like this.
Also: This still is bleeding pink dye when I wash it. It still looks bright so that is one heck of a lot of dye. Read more 131 more words
I think it looks beautiful on you. 💙 Comfort with minor fit issues is far more important than pain for aesthetics regardless of what Ewa says. We all have our own set of fit issues and very rarely is there a perfect fit especially in the higher cup ranges. You look beautiful in this one, be happy with the comfort and the win. 💙 Yay!
I think it looks great also. And if its comfortable, who cares. I love Fluo colour It makes me smile.
Thanks. It is very cheerful, I suppose I did select it today because it's been so gloomy over the weekend.
Wow! I think this looks fantastic on you. I just love the colour of Fluo - it is a perfect pick me up bra.
My second attempt with PL Syrena. The first time I had ordered it, it was too small by the time it got to me. This one is perfect, I love the mermaid theme. I think they did a good job of adapting this pattern from the S. The band is around 28.5" and comfortable to me on the loosest hooks. I am glad about this as I get to enjoy it for longer since they seem to be phasing it out (low stock).
I received this from MamaPagan. I really like the PL Dark Magenta, but they are out of fabric and I was glad that she offered to send me this. I've been wanting to try a CHP again, but my breasts are too short and firm to get that cakes on a plate look. I was also hesitant at how much taller the K cup is as opposed to my J cups. The side photo of my left side shows how shallow I am, the right side is even worse. This bra is full coverage on me, but that's ok because it is shorter than the ...S cut while still being padded. The bottom, middle, and sides of the cups are full, that's really all that matters to me at this point. The projection at the bottom of this cut is very good, I haven't felt it slide for the few hours that I've had it on. It also looks like they fixed the strap problem where the ribbon was sewn on flat, which didn't allow the straps to stretch. As an added bonus, this cut seems to give me less of the east-west look, and I have less boob rubbing on my arms. I’m very happy with it. Read more 103 more words
It looks great on you honey and I am so glad you like it!! :-) Yay for a bra win!!
Its beautiful on you, yay!
I love the CHP shape under clothes, round without minimizing. I had missed it :)
Looking fantastic :)
Oooh such pretty colourway, glad it works for you 🙂
Thanks all. I always feel bad that I can't fill the top of any bra.
Don't feel bad! Some can't fill the bottom of their cups. It doesn't make the bra a bad fit. It doesn't make the bra look bad on you either. You look fantastic in that bra! Own it :)
It looks fine and as long as it is comfortable then the rest doesn't matter. :-)
Zenith is gorgeous! I gotta say, I was a bit on the fence about getting it, but I’m glad I did. It is really soft to the tough, but still supportive. The animal print isn’t too much, and looks wonderful! This whole order is going straight into rotation.
DHL shipping is wonderful! Got to me in two days for only 95pln. It’s soooo nice not to worry about shipping. Onto the bra: it was my first time trying the Bm cut, and I really like it. It is really soft and pretty! The fit was pretty good - I’m at my smallest point rn, so it is a tad bit big (~1/5 of a cup?) but it still felt supportive. It isn’t a front-and-center bra, but it is really comfy. I’ll be wearing it a lot.
Did she discount DHL for the sale also? It's normally like 145 PLN.
What country are you in? Did you have any additional charged on your side upon receipt?
SovavosiWilderness1 I'm in the US, and I wasn’t charged upon delivery. DHL shipping costs vary based on the size of the package, so maybe that’s why it was cheaper?🤷♀️ (I got three unlined bras)
Ok. I'll have to ask about it next time. Last year I got 5 bras and it was 165 PLN for DHL.
I found this bra really comfortable (even giving me slight cakes-on-a-plate cleavage!) but the straps are awfully wide set and I have to angle them in to stay up on my fairly muscular shoulders. Angling the straps in causes a minor gap in the cup near the gore. I found the band to be really stretchy - I probably could hook it on the last hook, but didn’t because I really want it to last. On me, it is a little more full coverage than it is on the models, but that is because of my short roots. However, I still manage to fill it out and make it look good.😄
BM Kawa is a limited edition bra that was supposed to be released last fall (2017.) Since I didn’t see it as a release, I asked Kaśka about it in May & she said there was limited materials which was why it wasn’t released, but that I could order it direct. It is a full lace BM style, so it has the 4 sections: 2 lower vertical, 1 horizontal upper lace section, and the upper outer wedge that connects the straps to the cups. The cups are covered in a patterned brown lace, but like all BMs, only the top section ...is stretchy.
The band measures 21.5” and stretches to a max 28.75”. It has the typical 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.
Cup Depth as measured by: 1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance. This measurement is: 12.5”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance. This measurement is: 15”
I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.
Like most of the Full Lace BMs I’ve tried, this one “fits” for the most part, but does not do a full tack. As I’ve experienced recently, I get a better fit typically with the 60KK in the full lace BMs as well. I really need to stop trying them in the 60K, but old habits are hard to break!
My husband likes this one, being one who prefers the earthy tones. (He keeps complaining about Fluo as he does not like the neon pink.) I do love the color of the lace on the cups, but feel the brown on the band is not the ideal match, which is my only complaint. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but I feel a better brown could have been used for aesthetic appeal. I do like that the band was tighter than most of my Ewa bras lately, so I didn’t need to have it on the tightest hook-set. If Ewa will allow, I will order this one again in 60KK.
I love the chocolate colour, too bad it's limited. I hope you get to order it again.
Thank you :-)
I will send her the request this week. I'm thinking it should be okay unless others on here beat me to it since it's not advertised. I'm not sure how much material they have, but I'd figure it's got to be enough for a few bras at least.
It was 219zl if you were wanting to order one yourself. ($60 at conversion when I ordered this one if it helps.)
Woohoo! I was able to order it this morning :-)
Ooooo I love this one; it's so pretty! Awesome that you got to order the cup size up, as well.
Sincerely, I appreciate your cup depth measurements--so helpful!
BM Wersal in 60K BM Wersal is a beautifully bright blue laced BM with beige lining. The cup construction is the typical BM style, with 2 lower vertical sections (1 seam) and 1 upper horizontal section, with a wedge area that connects the straps to the cups securely. The upper horizontal section is always made of a stretch lace, and this particular model has the upper lace section lined as well, which can vary by model. This lining doesn’t provide bulk, just modesty so you can’t see the nipples through the bra but does not stop them from showing through a shirt on a cold day. The BM style ...bra is not padded and provides full and separated coverage.
The band measures 22.75” and stretches to 28.25” so it’s firmer than the typical no lace band. One odd feature is that this one has 3 hooks but only 3 rows of eye loops. Every single Ewa bra I’ve gotten so far has had 4 rows of eye loops, so I was surprised this one only had 3. The stock photos reflected this as well though, so I knew it was a possibility before receiving.
The cup height is 9.85” with a width of 6.25”. The depth (measured by hovering the cups between the knees and placing a tape measure inside the cup without any resistance) is 12.5” and stretches over the knee to a max of 15.85” creating a beautiful comfortable fit, though this one also doesn’t tack for me, sitting 1.5 finger’s width off the sternum. I still consider it a good fit as it’s comfortable and otherwise the cups fit beautifully. The gore is 4.15” tall and ½” wide. I find it odd that this one has more depth than Fluo but sits further off the sternum. While this logically doesn’t make sense to me, it is comfortable and fits otherwise, so I try not to think about the lack of logic in regards to this.
It looks amazing on you. I love the colour of the lace!
