Yay! I'm happy to have a CHP Opium that fits again. Thanks for the trade, Wilderness! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I need to fasten it on the tightest hooks since the band is a little loose, but the cups fit well. I love the super round and lifted shape of CHPs. The cut works really well with my short, projected breasts. It is comfy and flattering and I love it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is a pretty bra. It feels a bit different than my M Syrena and M Magique, perhaps because it has been worn a bit more. It feels softer (less structured), the band is looser, and the straps/wings bug the front of my armpits a bit. It lifts and projects my breasts nicely, though.

My first Ewa Michalak Ch bra! It's so pretty! Although this bra is a band size or 2 large for me, I love the fit. The underwire pretty much goes into my IMF when I put it on. I didn't really realize other bras didn't do this until having one that does. It gives a very lifted and front -facing silhouette. I love the aesthetic of the little strappy things. I have to leave them very loose because my breast tissue is so soft that they cut in. I need to wear the cookie in my smaller side or the top of the cup gapes. On my larger side, it works with or without. No quad boob when it's in. The main bra straps are the thinnest of any of my bras, so this would likely be problematic in larger sizes. I will likely alter the band on this bra to get a snugger fit. I love it though! For reference, my shape is centre-full, FOB, short & narrow rooted and pendulous.

This bra is beautiful, comfortable, and fits well. I'm not sure if I like the pink bows, but the blue/green fabric is gorgeous. The band runs small, of which I was aware and actually wanted. The straps are easily adjusted. As with most EM bras, the straps are very wide-set, which results in them ending up in the front of my armpits. The cups are slightly wider than I need as well. I think a 60FF would be an even better fit for me. I so love the cookie pockets that come standard with EM bras. It improves the fit immensely for me as I have close to a cup size difference between breasts.

This bra is beautiful, comfortable, and fits well. The tan underlay is a bit darker than my skin. The band runs small, of which I was aware and actually wanted. The straps are easy to adjust but are really narrow and kind of stretchy, which means I get a bit of bounce and jiggle, but not excessively so.

This is another Ewa Michalak bra with an annoyingly tight band. Ewa's pulldown size options now use UK band sizes, so this 65 band was supposed to be equivalent to a 30 band. It measures 28" stretched! I wish this company's 65 bands would be consistently tight, consistently true to size, like my preferred 30" stretched, or consistently anything. I could wear an extender, but I shouldn't have to. I have about 30 bras I can wear without an extender. Most of my everyday bras are Ewa Michalak 3D bras. They don't have excessively tight bands. The 3D Satine forces me to reach for an extender.

Other than ... the band, Satine's fit is typical for 3D. The boobs are forward and center. The profile is projected, with a subtle peak. The 3D Satine's gore is just about short enough for me. The cups are low coverage. The clear, light beige color is pretty on its own and works as a nude for me. These features do not outweigh the discomfort caused by the absurdly tight band. I would've returned this bra, but it costs $20 US to ship a bra back to Poland.

This is another Ewa Michalak bra that has an annoyingly tight band. It is 28" stretched. I wish this company's 65 bands would be consistently tight, consistently true to size, like my preferred 30" stretched, or consistently anything. I could wear an extender, but I shouldn't have to. I have enough bras I can wear without an extender that I don't reach for overly tight bras like the M Magique.

Other problems with this bra stem from the cut itself. The M cut was marketed as bringing the breasts even more front and center than her 3D or PL bras. I suppose this is true for me ... when I try on the 65F M Magique, as it was for the 65F M Syrena. However, the fit is otherwise subpar. The straps are too wide-set. They feel even more wide-set than those of my dozen or so 3Ds or my two PLs. If I look at the back view, the straps actually veer outward, toward the sides of my body, rather than going straight down or drawing closer together where the hooks and eyes are. If I wore an extender with the M Magique, this would make the widening straps widen even more in back.

Another feature I dislike in the M cut is the low wings. I want higher wings in Ewa Michalak bras, not lower. I would be happy if all my 3Ds had an inch or two extra height in the wings. I think my PLs are a little better for me in this regard.

I do not find the skinny straps particularly attractive. They are less comfortable than wider straps, which I am fortunate to have on most of my EM bras.

I do admire the M Magique's looks. The caramel background fabric and black eyelash lace are a classic combo. The gore is just about short enough for me. The cups are, as promised, low-coverage. I welcome these features. They do not, however, outweigh the discomfort and suboptimal appearance caused by the M cut's differences from 3D and PL. I would've returned this bra, but it costs $20 US to ship a bra back to Poland.

I love the beautiful cobalt blue of this bra combined with the light gray straps and trim. I didn't dig the plaid pink, light green, and light blue bow so I removed it, but I can see how others would like it as a trim choice. I was shocked that the measurements on this were so similar to my CHP Opium, because I found it more closed on top and that it produced quadboob where the Opium did not. It's cute enough in a hard-to-find color that I'll tolerate the less than optimal fit as a novelty or bedroom bra - though I have to say, this and the Opium have converted me from a diehard Comexim buyer to an Ewa Michalak fangirl. I accepted Comexim's non-tacking gores and pretty damn good immediate projection in their 3HC styles, but Ewa M's actually tacking gores and deeper projection in these CHP styles have opened my eyes, yet again.

This bra has outstanding space for center-full, close-set breasts. Sadly, it is not available in larger sizes. I've tried the PL cut that is available in larger sizes, but the gore is slightly taller and compresses my center tissue painfully. I'd really like Ewa Michalak to expand the 3D range. It is one of the few wired bras that can accommodate center-full, close-set, petite/short-waisted breasts effectively.

Initially, with straps and the band fully extended, I thought the cup was too narrow. My soft tissue kept slinking into the cup and under the outer wire after swoop and scoop. Then, I tightened the straps a bit and fastened the ... band one hook tighter. Oops. The cup is too small. I need between 10-11 inches of depth front and center. And, this cup has 9.3". With the band tightened one hook, the wire bites under my breasts and the bottom of the cup is empty. This is a grand bra for a slightly smaller breast. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

This 65 band is 2" longer than a 70 band I recently purchased. Considering this is black fabric, I'm surprised it is longer. Eva Michalak manufacturing is plagued by inconsistent band lengths. If band length is important to you, please check the raw data here before purchasing. The band is, however, more supportive than other Ewa Michalak models I've tried. I sincerely appreciate supportive bands.

This is a beautiful black bra with splashes of lace and a bit of bling at the gore. The black lace is lined with a light beige fabric which enhances the appearance of the lace. It is tasteful and elegant.

I added this bra to my last order at the very last moment. I am so happy they still have some fabric left and they agreed to sew it for me. I’ve always wanted this bra, but it has never come out in my size at the time (65E). I didn’t want to custom order it in 3DM as I’m not fan of this style and HM has a very hurtful gore.
I ordered two SMs because I really like my SM Czarna Mgielka for its shape. It actually turned out that both have slightly different shape. Even if SM Summer Time is different, I pretty like it. Compared ... to Mgielka and Ja wiem, it has slightly higher cups. This gives an incredible – for an unpadded bra – uplift.
I’m really surprised that the cups give such a pointy shape and they are quite shallow on the bottom near the gore. All the reviews I’ve read show a very rounded and natural shape. The apex seems very projected and the cup edge is a little bit closed which causes this particular shape. Now I’m not sure if they changed something in the SM construction or it’s just my boobs.

I’m very happy it comes with the same straps that Pralinka and not the original ones. Beside of the esthetical criteria, they are less stretchy.

This bra is stunning.
The flowers on the cups are slightly shimmery in a beautiful bronze.

It fits larger, the lace is slightly stretchy making my usual 65F too big for me.

I decided very quickly to order this bra because I was seduced by the delicate design, new for this brand. Then I kind of regretted, because I thought it was dull but I it was too late to cancel the order and it’s always useful to have an S bra in the drawer.
Useless to say that I’m pleasantly surprised!
First off, it’s important to note that the quality is really exceptional for an EM bra and I’ve really had a lot of them since the beginning of the brand (lately I was wearing my HP Czarny so the progress is all the more remarkable to me).
The material used in ... the band and the cups is a great quality thick satin that I haven’t even seen in any Masquerade bra. The cups are covered with a shiny lace which I’m not really fan of but it’s rather consistent if terms of design. The straps are also shiny, covered with the same pale pink ribbon that the cups. The little pompoms on the gore are survivors of Finezja and Bambino.
The band is TTS, perfect on the first hook (out of 4). The straps are functionally fully adjustable even if there’s a ribbon on the front part. They are shorter (as in the S Opium from the same order) than those in Pralinka and Letnia noc, which is fine for me, the sliders don't have to stay on my shoulders where I can feel them.
The cups seem to run higher under my armpits than my other Ss, but when I put two bras together, they’re identical. As they are a tiny bit deeper than my other bras in this cut, it could explain this feeling. The cup fit is consistent though.
As I’m very happy with the quality, I’m considering buying the matching bottom at the next order.

So so so SO pretty. The fabric is gorgeous, as is the eyelash ruffling around the band and cups, and the two-tone bow with its pearly trinket is beautiful. It's crazy comfortable for such a pretty bra. However, I prefer a snug 30, whereas this feels a little generous, and the cups are ever so slightly too small; after swoop & scoop I have centre-quadding, even though the top of the cups still fit well without cutting in. I think I would need a 60G or a firm-banded 65FF if I bought another Ewa Michalak.

This bra was such a disappointment for me. Based on my experience with the M cut in a 65E, I thought this would be perfect. Going up a cup completely changed the fit for me. I had gaping and quadding in the same cup, the cups were taller, and it overall made me unhappy. I wore this for about 7 hours to see if I could ignore any issues or if they would magically resolve and they did not (of course). I kept looking down my shirt to make sure I wasn't falling out on my left side. That isn't something I want to do constantly, so this bra has found a new home and I'm keeping the S.

This cut is completely new to me, I got it from an exchange with martka00.
I’m quite surprised this actually fits. I was really reluctant to try this cut as it comes in one cup size bigger that I’m used to wear.
What is new to me:
- Underwires – they are wider, which is a nice change. I like the narrow underwires in all my EM bras but they’re sometimes too narrow and the breast tissue is trying to escape the cups. They’re also very hard which I don’t quite like. I really feel them on my ribcage.
-The cups run really high under my armpits. I’m not sure if ... it means the bra is a little bit too big (but the cup fit seems OK to me) or by breast is set too high… The side part of the band is also really high and I don’t really need that.
-The straps are very wide. Once again, it seems excessive to me but I guess I’ll have to get used.
The bra itself is very pretty in its simplicity. The sheer material seems very solid but it’s also a little bit itchy. I guess this kind of material can be either solid or soft. The band is firm, I need do fasten it on the second hook. The straps are long but happily fully adjustable.

I don't know if I should be happy this style fits or I should rather cry. There's so many beautiful bras now I can try out!

EDIT After wearing it for a few hours

I must say that this bra is very comfortable despite of the issues with the underwires and the wings height. I would even say that the large band is a plus because the pressure is spread over a larger surface. I eventually decided to wear it on the first hook and the band is supportive enough.

About the shape: it's an unpadded bra so there's no point to compare it to a padded style, it's obvious my breast aren't lifted as much as in the CH or PL cut. But there's still a difference in the shape it gives compared to the only 3DM I have (Burek). As some of you have noticed, the S style provides more support than the 3DM. But in my case, as the underwires are wider (which is not a bad thing as I said), my boobs are less "centered" than in Burek. To sum up:
- Burek provides a nice (for an unpadded bra) cleavage, at the cost of very narrow underwires
- Czarna Mgielka provides more support and uplift, at the cost of a slight east-west effect
I guess this must be a consequence of the bigger cup size. The perfect choice would be the non-existent 65E in this style https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

This is the second bra that I got from learningaboutbras and honestly, I would never consider it when looking at the website pics. I wasnt expecting wow bra, but I got so surprised! The bra is looking so nice, the purple is so lovely that now i regret that I didnt get it in plunge or 3d in my size. The band is super comfy as my 70DD - Ewa Michalak » Ch Owoce Leśne (573) . As im usually wearing 70DD, this 65F fits me well in the band - nice, snug and secure. Its such shame as I need one size down and would be perfect.. In this i got only small gapping, but when I used 2 sets of pads was wow! I may think to get this one with next order!

The CH Onyks is a multi-way black bra in my beloved CH cut. Mine is matte black, but it seems to have been made in a satiny fabric at times. The Onyks comes with three sets of straps and I've included pictures of all said straps. It is not actually a strapless bra, but I have been able to wear it as such as long as the clothing I'm wearing it under is tight enough to help hold the cups edges against my body.

The straps on the Onyks are very wideset. They dig into my armpits and drive me nuts. The straps are the reason why I do ... not wear this as a day to day bra. It's in my drawer for its use as a halter and as a pseudo strapless and that is the only time I wear it.
The comfort straps are stretchy in the back and nicely padded in the front. I do like the comfort straps, but the loops for hooking them are too far into my armpits.
The regular straps are very stretchy, and not very long. I'm able to use them as a crossback, but they have to be adjusted almost the whole length. I'm relatively high set, so if you're not, it's possible they will not be long enough for you to do that same.
The halter strap is a good length for me and is pretty comfortable on my neck and traps. I'm prone to tension headaches and sensitive to pressure on those areas, but this strap doesn't bother me at all. I'm aware of it, but it seems to distribute pressure and weight evenly and I find my purse more bothersome than this halter.

The band is nice. It's snug and comfortable, but stretches out fairly quickly. I start out on the loosest hook then end up moving in one or two sets at some point during the day. After it goes unworn, the process starts over again. As long as it continues to snap back after wear I won't worry about it.

The cups give a great projected and rounded shape like other CHs. They're also more closed off and the ribbon edging can and will cut into FoT tissue. Most of my other CHs are 65E, but I would not want an E in the Onyks.

Overall I'm pleased with it. It certainly has its place in my bradrobe. If it weren't for the horrible armpit eating strap attachments I would wear it more frequently, but they can't all be perfect.

Ewa Michalak's MP cut is designed to bring the breasts even more front and center than the 3D cut. Unfortunately the same size that works for me in 3D, 65F, is too small in MP. The 65F MP causes bulging under my arms because the bottom of the cups are shallower than in my many 3D bras in the same size. In addition, the MP wings are shorter than 3D wings, whereas I need the opposite. I have about a dozen Ewa Michalak 3D bras. I'd like their wings to be a little higher.

Everything else about this bra's fit is good. The gore is comfortably low, the ... straps are somewhat closer set than many Ewa Michalak straps. The cups don't go up so high where they meet the straps, compared to Ewa Michalak's PL cut. In this respect the MP is cut similarly to the 3D. I find my 65F Ewa Michalak PL Onyx's cups are too high where they meet the straps. That meeting place then pokes in the front of my shoulders.

I reordered the MP Truskawki z Malinami in 65FF. It fits much better than the 65F. The wonderfully juicy strawberry color was the reason I bothered to reorder. This is the only bra I have in this particular color.

This bra fits like a UK 28FF or so. However, I'm very small framed, so the straps and cups are too wideset for my small frame. The cups aren't quite as deep as an Ewa Michalak CH or CHP, and the cups provide a little more cleavage coverage. There are three sets of straps: Normal, comfy, and a halter, as well as asymmetry pads.

This particular SM is really really comfortable. I think they all are, but some are better than others and this is a better one.
The band is a TTS Ewa 65. Meaning it's a bit tighter than a UK 30, sort of a 29 if you will. Perfect for me. It's comfortable on the loosest set of eyes and gives me no trouble throughout the day.
The straps are soft and comfortable. They fully adjust and stay in place. They're not too wide for my broad shoulders and are just right.
The wires are suited for my root and stay in my fold. They leave rather deep red impressions though. I ... don't know why. It isn't tight and it doesn't hurt, but the wire marks are pretty over the top for whatever reason.
The pink lace cups disappear pretty well under a thin top. Not a nude, but it could maybe pass in a pinch. The embroidery on it is pretty subtle, looks like paisley made up of polka dots.
The band is soft and stretchy. A pretty blue-based steel gray (I love me some gray) with baby pink polka dots over it.
