Bought used, so I don't have experience on how tight this was new, but dang! The band is much closer to 28 than 30 (the loosest set of eyes is now threatening to escape). There isn't enough depth right at the center near the gore for me, but that happens a lot. I think I actually need to size up a cup, even though I seem to be closer to a UK 30F than an FF.

The materials are very nice and comfortable, noting shiny except the cool little pendant at the gore. The vertical seem is fairly visible under a light t-shirt, but not so bad that I wouldn't wear it under slightly heavier material. The color was faded when I bought it, but I do like the muted tan. Hooks are closer together than my extenders, similar to the Panache Cleo 30F-32Es that I've experienced. I don't usually even notice the wires when I'm wearing an extender, which is unusual for me (yay! comfort!).

As 65F was way too small, I ordered one in 65FF, and it fits in the cups, but the seem cuts in and I'm not sure if it's because the bra is faulty or the model doesn't like my boobs. I can't remember this happening in the smaller size though.
It's a little high under the arms.

75 bras

30F/FF narrow and tall roots, projected, full on top

I have since learned that 65 bands from EM are too tight for me and this one was exceptionally tight, so much so that it was painful. This was also a cup too large for me as I fit best in 70E in this brand. The bottom of the cups are quite shallow and sloped, which was not a problem for me but may cause difficulties for women whose breasts have far more lower projection. Aside from these issues, this bra is a lifting champion as far as strapless bras go. In my right size I can picture this being a great strapless essential.

30F/FF tall and narrow root, average projection, full on top

I bought this NWT and is the first EM "bra" I have purchased. My usual band size is 30, sometimes 28 in Freya, but I found this to be uncomfortably tight on me. With an extender it was fine.

Regarding the cups, when standing straight they looked like the fit perfectly but I dislike how much wrinkling and space there was when I move around. I've since determined that I prefer the fit of one cup volume down even though I get some slight quadboob.

Overall the babydoll is incredibly sexy and playful. I love sheer lingerie and wearing this with a lace thong gave a very sex goddess look https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

At first I was a bit disappointed when I saw that the beige colour was different from earlier versions of the Cappuccino. I have warmed up to it completey though, it looks classier now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The cups fit me perfectly, so when I take in the band to a size 60, it should be very nice. I can't believe the 'cleavage' I have in this bra! The cup width is nice and narrow. Only the straps are a little thin for my taste. I like that the inside of the bra is now black. Seems appropriate for the style.

Very, very, very nice! It is gorgeous and it fits like a glove! Totally perfect except for the band size. I will take it in to a 60 and then it should be fine. Beautiful quality material and nice narrow shape. Love it!

Lovely bra. I must be one of the first women to order the correct size from Ewa Michalak right away (though I must admit I have to wear the band on the tightest hook, who would've thought...). The shape is almost identical to Freya Deco, although the Deco Hatty 28FF I own is one-and-a-half band size larger. It is extremely well made and delightfully comfortable. I ordered it hoping it would have a shape more vintage-like in its projection, like my Masquerade Delphi basque, but like I said its very rounded like Deco; and what can anyone really have against that?

I love the feel of this bra, but it gives me quad-boob unless I adjust every ten minutes. I went up to 65FF in Ewa because the 65F Ch Onyks gave me quad-boob, and my other 65FF's (CHP, S) fit well, but the CH is still too closed on top. I may need to go up to 65G or just admit that the CH style is not for me... the latter may be more likely, since it seems like they are discontinuing this style.

Pros: Nice firm band. Very, very comfy.

Materials: 45% polyamide, 30% polyester, 20% cotton, 5% elastane. The cup interior is very soft and seems to be cotton-lined. The cup exterior is a more shiny, satiny fabric. The wings are two layers of stretchy mesh.

Construction: 3-part vertical seam. Lightly foam-lined. It comes with removable pads for correcting asymmetry. The straps are removable; in addition to the thick straps shown in the pics, it also comes with traditional ~0.625 inch straps. Rhinestone detail at center gore.

T-shirt friendly: Yes!

I purchased this bra from another Bratabase user to try to figure out what size I would need in this brand. It is PERFECT! I have narrow roots and close set breasts, which is why I wanted to try this brand. I am so glad I did and will have to actually place an order for myself now. I measure just below 28 inches underbust and have worn 34's for 20+ years so having a band this close to my actual measurement is something I will have to get used to though. The bra has so many cute little details to it; lace, bows, ribbons. And the fact that nothing digs or pokes is fantastic! All in all I really like it!

Fantastic bra! Despite being a delicate looking bra, it's a supportive and comfortable bra to wear.

I love this bra! I love the shape, the cleavage, how it looks, and how comfortable it is. The only thing I would change is ordering a 60G instead of the 65FF as the band is loosening up a little quickly for me.

The wires are hard to distort and sturdy, they circle around the breasts and projects them really beautifully, if you are wearing the right band and cups. The band is firm, but it still stretches quite a lot. I still get red marks on my 25-26 ribcage, even though I wear the correct size according to Ewa, at least in the band… maybe it's because I sit in weird positions(hyper mobility) in combination with wearing it for 8-10 hours. I hate that I have to adjust the straps so much it hurts and stiffens in the shoulder muscles while I wear it, just to fill the cups. I ... was worried if a 65F would fit my left boob and I also have the UU shape when I bend over, but now I know I should've ordered the 65F, not the 65FF. Their calculator is perfect and not "stupid".

The cups are sturdy and the embroidery is so cool and beautiful. I have never had my breasts this high or this front, absolutely the best construction I have ever had in a bra, or maybe I've been wearing the wrong size too in UK bras. The breasts, as it says on the site - does not stand out the contour of the body, which makes me look more balanced and more like a pear or vase than a… lollipop or goblet.

The shape I get is not super-uplifted, but still very uplifted and they shape my breasts to my favorite shape, which is the shape that doesn't really look like you're wearing a bra, just high, perky breasts with a light, natural peak and very front, a little cleavagey. Good for everyday, very versatile as it both is a balcony and a light plunge-kinda bra. Gives a sweetheart neckline and really perks up the breasts, you can really see it under clothes. Doesn't squash the breasts apart or anything.

I'm annoyed at myself for ordering the Ewa Michalak Chp Femme Fatale in 65FF instead of 65F, the size I've enjoyed in multiple Ewa Michalak 3Ds. While the shape is excellent, front and side, I have to keep the removable pads in to achieve this. There is the suggestion of gaping at the top line of the cups, but it wouldn't be noticeable under clothes. I prefer to wear bras that fit without the removable padding. That way, if I want to amplify my cleavage, I have that option.

I'm wondering if I should even order this again, because while the massive cakes on a plate cleavage and super ... rounded shape are quite attractive and the design is genius, I already have about a dozen similarly fitting half-cup bras in various brands, colors, and designs. On the other hand, I do have the matching panties, which are quite fetching. On the other hand, my boyfriend doesn't find the design as alluring as my other bras' designs from EM, Freya, Panache, and Fauve. On the other hand, who cares what he thinks? I love this bra, and shouldn't I have this original, brilliant design if I feel this way?

While I dither, I'm going to put this bra up for sale, along with the matching panties. Maybe the universe will make my mind up for me. Ewa Michalak getting my proper size in stock again would make up my mind, I think.Good thing I'm the decisive type, lol.

I got this bra from another user knowing the band would be too tight and having no idea about the cup fit - but to my surprise, it fits!

The band is stretched out due to being pre-loved: according to all the measurements on Bratabase, a 65 EM band is shorter than my ribcage even at full stretch. I'm not sure, if I was to order/buy another EM bra, whether I'd buy a 65 or a 70. I'm currently wearing the bra on the second row (of 4 rows) of hooks, and the band still feels firm and snug and supportive, so it clearly has a lot of life ... left in it.

The cups are pretty much a perfect volume for me. The wires are extremely firm, barely bending when the band is stretched. Looking at the red marks they leave, I think they're too narrow by a couple of mm for me - but they're not uncomfortable at all, never a single moment's pinching or rubbing or chafing. The wire height is a little short for my preference, but they're tall enough to hold everything in place so that's just a minor aesthetic quibble, really.

The gore is PERFECT. I have extremely close-set breasts, and any gore high enough to hold in my centre-heavy soft tissue inevitably ends up sitting on boob and buckling. The gore on this bra is low enough to keep out of my cleavage's way, and the moulded cups are strong enough to stop me spilling too badly.

I've marked the straps as a fit, but I did get a feeling of them being on the edge of slipping off; they never actually did, however.

I'm sure the fact it's pre-loved has a lot to do with this, but this is the most comfortable bra I've worn since finding my true size. I totally forgot I was wearing a bra! All this with a lovely, lifted, round shape that doesn't sacrifice forward projection as the price of a half cup ... !

I really like this bra but unfortunately it is too wide for me. I think I would need it in a size or two down.

Design: smooth, silky cotton fabric on the outer part of the cups; very stretchy and soft band; the inside removable padding covers nearly the whole cup (not the upper horizontal part)

Sizing: I sticked to my UK size 30FF/28G in Freya Bras and ordered a 65FF, which worked out just fine

Undies: the fabric is just mesh with lacey decoration; I ordered my usual EU36 size (UK 8 in Freya and Fauve) and got the same fit as usual (comfy but not loose). As the mesh turned out to by quite stretchy the "Figi" (Briefs) it gave my a wedgie the whole wearing time (not sure if sizing down would help).

+ perfect support AND deepest neckline I ever had in a bra (including the Freya Deco)
+ fits very comfortly

- very delicate fabric (you should keep it away from skretchy metal, beads or hooks)
- Undies (see above)

This was the first Ewa Michalak bra I put on my body. It was heavenly! It fit perfectly. Immediately I could feel the difference in the quality of materials used to construct the bra. It was so soft.

I got this bra used, but it fits my 28 ribcage snuggly, but not tight as the band is very stretchy. I fill out the cups almost perfectly, my smaller girl doesn't quite fill it. I usually wear a 28FF, so maybe the cups run a bit small in this size as this is supposed to be comparable to a UK 30FF. ... This padding is very thick and makes me look a lot bigger, which is great for when I want to achieve that look. It gives a nice rounded and lifted shape.

After a few hours of wear, the band seems to rub the back of my ribcage a little, but not enough for me to get rid of the bra.

The color is a dusty rouge nude color, a pinky brown which is nice and it still works great as a nude bra. I wore it under a fair thin shirt today and the lace details were not noticeable at all.

This is my first SM bra. The band is stretchy - stretches to 31" - so naturally I had to hook it on the tightest hook for my 27" ribcage. I find it uplifting, but not as high as an HM bra would. The shape for me is like pointy round-ish perky. The straps are fully adjustable.

The seams and lace are completely flat, so it doesn't really show under fitted tops. I find it separates my breasts a little, so from the sides it does not look really projected. I don't prefer it, but I can still tolerate.

Wires are narrow and follow the crease of my breasts perfectly. The bra is also comfortable to be worn for long period of time.

Cups are an odd stiff foam and are quite wide for EM in this size. It doesn't work so well under thin clothes as a result of the stiff shape.

The band is too loose for me, and probably fits like a standard to loose 28 band. I don't really get on with strapless bras with silicone bands, as this one does, so I was never able to wear it long enough to get a proper idea of fit and support. However, from trying it on it doesn't feel hugely supportive due to the cup construction so feels like it would be best suited to firm breasts. The low centre gore is nice to see as I am close-set.
