I bought this bra off another user. The cups are too wide and I have gaping at the top and wrinkles at the bottom. The bra is well made and has a tight band and wires are very stiff. Overlapping gore wires are great for close set breast. The fabric on the cups are non-stretchy.
This bra is exelent for slight size fluktations. I would say that it is slightly big for a 65f which has been great for me since I am experiensing some growth.
I wanted to fall in love with this bra, but I couldn't. The gore is very painful at the top because it comes up too high and digs into my sternum, and the cups don't allow enough space for my inner fullness down lower. It looks like I'm getting squished from the inside, forcing my boobs into a splayed look. The bra does round things out nicely, which looks nice under a shirt. The main problem is that the cups are just too small for me, however, I'm not sure I'll re-order this bra again... I may just get a different style.
Got this today and I'm loving it!!! It's my first attempt at the"S" cut and while it is a little taller than I'm used to it fits great!!! Love the floral design. It's much prettier in person.
My best fitting bra's are the Ewa Michalak S-series, so as expected, this also fits well. The band is very tight, but I'll always wear it with an extender for the first while. The colour is a beautiful deep emerald green, with polka-dotted mesh on top, and a ribbon in the middle.
I've also bought the matching bottoms in size 38 (my normal jeans size is 27, pants size 38) and its a bit loose, but very comfortable. Not sure if the 36 would be better or if its just the shape.
This bra is fantastic. It is narrower than my other ones which I really like. Sometimes, I do feel like I wish there was a little more coverage at the top of the bra, but it's not a problem. It is very basic looking, but not all bras are going to be super pretty.
There's not much more to say about the beauty of this bra. My PL 70DD is too small but I absolutely need this bra so I ordered it in the S cut. Fits great, very comfortable, the 65 band seems more suitable for me.
Purchased from another Bratabaser. I LOVE THIS BRA. It is my first Polish bra. The cleavage it gives is awesome without smooshing or crushing, it's like angels are cupping my boobs. I LOVE the wideset straps they are SO COMFORTABLE and even better with the wide 'comfort' straps. They get a lot of dislike in /r/ABraThatFits but they are just excellent for me.
I fill the cups just right, although there is a teeny tiny bit of gapping at the top of the cup. a smaller cup size might be too small, though. They are open enough on top to prevent quadboobing, and the lift provided by these vertically seamed cups is marvelous. So much better than so many bras in my past.
I love love LOVE grey and want a million grey bras. This is such a great one. Unfortunately, it is not a good fit without "cookie" inserts, and this bra technically doesn't have the "pockets" for them so I just shove the cookies in and they pretty much stay until my bra-wearing day is over. It's unfortunate that this bra is not being made anymore, because it's an excellent shape for even/FOT/narrow/projected ladies.
*update, Fed 2016* So I washed and dried this bra (cuz it kinda smelled like cleaning chemicals when I got it, ew) and ta-da! The weird shape isn't quite as much of an issue as before! For some reason, the top edge binding was just SO tight in comparison to the cup fabric! It must have softened a tiny bit, cuz now it doesn't cut in as badly. You can't really tell under clothing. It doesn't give me the MOST projection of all the bras I fit, but it fits. I might still not buy another CHP, but it's still a usable bra.
This bra fits.... meh. Theoretically, it ...fits perfectly, but realistically... The top edge of the cup, the seam bindings, is tighter than the cup fabric, so it cuts a bit into my breast tissue and creates an ugly bump above my apex. (You can see in the pictures.) I have more upper fullness than lower fullness, but either: A) I don't have ENOUGH upper fullness, or, B) since I am SO empty on bottom, my apex always sits MUCH lower than the apex of bras, so I end up with a small empty space above my apex in a bra. So even though I have tall roots, I'm not that full, and more of a pointy shape, and my tissue is about medium on the firm to soft scale. Maybe if I had very round, full, and firm breasts, I would fill the top edge of the bra better and stretch the seam binding better. I haven't tried this bra with cookies or push-up pads yet, so maybe it would fit better with a bit more "firm tissue?" Also, when I slouch, it doesn't cut in and suddenly gaps. ????? What is with this bra??? Maybe the straps are too wide? You can see from the pictures that they're basically beyond my armpits and out on my arms, haha. The projection on this bra was also extremely lacking. This bra basically just sits around my breasts and keeps the "wider than my frame" look, where I would rather prefer to have a bra that is flat enough on the sides that they push the breasts forward so that they're narrower than my frame and more projecting forward. (When I'm standing, my breasts are wide and shallow, but when leaning over, they're narrow and very projected. I want a bra to make them look like they do when leaning over!!) I know that the CH and CHP cuts aren't supposed to have a much projection as the plunges, but the wire width and cup depth fit me perfectly where I believe the plunges might be a bit too narrow for my roots. I get a LOT more projection with Comexim, and I've heard plenty of negative things about ordering through Ewa from the U.S., so while I'm sad this bra doesn't work, I'm relieved that I finally know which Polish companies work for me and which don't! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It's been a few years waiting, and now I know I should stick with Comexim. It's sad, because I reaaaaally like some of the Ewa colors, but I guess I'll just have to admire from afar! Other factors effecting the bra fit might be that it's an older used bra, so maybe the cups have been stretched out over time? I have seen other photos where CHP bras give a bit of projection, but until Comexim stops working for me, I might just leave Ewa alone for now. Read more 484 more words
This is a great nude color for my skin tone. Unfortunately it doesn't really fit well, the band is too small for me and the cups are too open on top. If this bra had cookie pockets and cookies it may work for me, but this one doesn't have cookie pockets. I also have some issues with the gore, I'm not sure if it's because the wires are very firm or if it is sitting too low and hitting a sensitive spot.
I have given this bra away. I ordered this bra on January 20, 2014. When I received it from Ewa Michalak, I thought the 3D Bambino in 65F was oddly different in cut than the ten or so other Ewa Michalak 3D bras I already owned. The cups were much taller, the wings lower, and the cups gaped at the top. I'd only had great fits from the 3D bras before this one.
I am now convinced Ewa Michalak shipped me the S model of the Bambino. All the fit issues make sense if this is what happened. This type of mixup happened when I ordered the Ewa ...Michalak Truskawki Z Malinami some months after the Bambino. I ordered a 65F MP Truskawki but received an S Truskawki. Another Bratabaser received a 65F MP Truskawki Z Malinami when she had ordered the S model. Neither of us could get anyone at Ewa Michalak to respond to our emails about the mixup. The other Bratabaser and I exchanged bras. To this day, I have not received a response to any of my emails on this order fulfillment error. Because I didn't think of this mixup possibility when I received the ill-fitting Bambino, I never contacted Ewa Michalak about it. Returning a bra to Poland from California costs at least $20 if I re-use even the tiny box the bra was shipped in. I've never returned a padded bra to Ewa Michalak for that reason.
To be fair, a fulfillment error of an October 2014 order was corrected. Two out of the three bras in that order were wrong. One was two cup sizes off, and another was the S model instead of 3D. After emailing them and sending the requested photos of the incorrect bras, I was told to return the two and await delivery of the correct ones, which would be posted upon receipt of the wrong ones. I was told return shipping would be reimbursed. I had to email them a reimbursement request some weeks after receiving the correct bras, but I eventually had all three correct bras and return shipping reimbursed through my PayPal account.

Usually I have trouble with low/plunge gores, but after bending the wires back just a bit, this on e fits me like a dream- tacking, but no stabbing! I've worn this bra probably 15-ish times, but the truth is that the cups are just a little too big; the outer/upper corners especially. I actually don't have trouble with filling the cups near the gore, but I think my problem could be solved by sizing down a cup. The straps are quite sturdy and don't require any fiddling once they are set in place. The band is snug on the 3rd set of hooks for ...me (it started out on the second since I got it used and i need my bands really tight) and it stays in place all day without irritating! There are a few minor cosmetic 'issues' with the bra; there is a small spot on the left cup, which was there when I bought it (does not show under clothing or impede the use of the bra) and the first set of hooks are a little bit pulled out, if you will. I will add more detailed pictures of these soon https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 98 more words
I received this bra from learningaboutbras , and as she mentioned it runs cup smaller. That's true, im normally 70dd, and this fit well, but at the moment i have some quadboobing due to coming P. The gore is low and I like it, also it doesnt cover too much, but doesnt give me wow effect - i get more in 3d. The bra seems to be comfy. However, im not fan of its colours - i know, under the clothes it doesnt really matter, but i guess is just that im wearing more darker clothes and I got used to having mostly dark bras. I can't wait to ry the M style in couple of days when my pack will finally arrive!
Edit: After trying it few days later, there is still some quadboobs.
This feels icky!!! She is successful only because there is no competition... We need to fix that. ;-)
