Of the 5 Ewa bras I've recently acquired, including another CHP, this one is the most comfortable. The fabric is soft, supportive, and there is no chafing under my armpit. The underwires are tall enough in the gore that they do not poke my sternum, and I feel that my breasts are more supported than they are in the SM and PL styles. Also, aside from the PL Lilia I own, this band is the snuggest, stretching out from 22 to 29.5 inches. The other 30-band Ewas I own stretch out to 30-31.5'', which is somewhat disappointing since I've heard so much about how snug they run. Therefore, while I feel like going straight to the tighter hooks on my other Ewas, I am okay on the loosest hook in the Chp Brzoskwinka.
Sadly, the cups seem to run about a size small, and I'm getting pretty bad quad boob that even a loose shirt doesn't disguise.
I love the lacey fabric. It's understated and simple, yet girly enough to make me feel attractive. The color complements m pale skin well. Padding is very structured and thick, and the seams are quite visible under cotton shirts.
I like the support this bra gives me, but as with many bras, the straps are a little wide and fabric comes up a little too high around my underarm, so I get some irritation along my pectoral muscles/underarm as I move around.
Although I hear how snug Ewa bands are all the time, the 30FF band stretches from 23 to 30.5 inches. My underbust is around 27.5'' but I wear 30s in some brands because they run tight and 28s are harder to find. In this bra, I am much more comfortable on the second or third hook, which doesn't say a lot about the useful lifespan of the bra for me. This is not a bra you want to size up in.
I wasn't sure what to make of this bra. While I filled out the cups just fine, and it actually didn't give me a bad shape, I didn't feel particularly supported or lifted. I think the lace was perhaps a tad stretchy. Since my breasts are a little relaxed, this meant that they'd start out in one position (after a swoop and scoop) and slowly settle downwards with the cups after a little movement.
Band was average for a 30, and therefore, looser than I'd like for a brand new bra. If you are unsure whether to buy a 28 or 30 in this style, you will want to go for the lower band size.
I'd been on the fence about ordering an Ewa for a while because of all the conflicting information about sizing, so I was happy to see one pop up on Bratabase in my normal size.
According to my measurements, this fully stretched 65FF(30FF) Ewa is about 4 inches smaller than my 30FF Freya, which is quite a difference, but since I swing between 30FF and 28G, this size is perfect. I feel very comfortable on the first set of hooks - it's not a struggle to fasten them, but I have no desire to move them closer.
My breasts are somewhat relaxed, yet FOT when properly supported, and this bra made them look amazing. Lift, projection, and an open halfcup that did not cut off my breast tissue on top. No quad-boob whatsoever, and no gaping unless I severely slouch and move my shoulders forward. Just amazing.
The only strapless bra so far that works for me. It really feels like I'm not wearing a bra whilst still having a good amount of support. The cups are a bit smaller than a standard 30FF, but this is excpected from Ewa, I usually wear a 28FF.
The band is a bit too big on me, the third photo shows where I'm pulling it in more at the back, and gives a more snug fit, I think a 28 band would have been better, but a 28 in most Ewa is too tight for me(I like my bands as loose as I can get away with)
The silicon strips ...don't rub at all like the ones on the deco strapless did for me, and I can't even tell they're there.
The cups are moulded foam, very rigid to give a really good shape. The only problem with this is there's no breathing room so things get a bit.... sweaty.
I would definitely recommend this bra for anyone wanting a good strapless, probably stick with your band size and go up a cup size. Read more 72 more words
Of the few EM bras I've tried so far, this one has by far the stretchiest band. With their other bras, I've been perfectly happy to stick with the comfortable tightness of a 30 band, rather than special ordering my usual 28 band. Here, however, the band is stretchy enough that I'd go with a 28, if I felt like braving their custom ordering process. Other than that, I'm very happy with this bra. The cups are similar to the CHP Stalowka, which I adore, with the large, folded-over border along the tops of the cups and slightly less stiff cups than some other EM half-cups, like the ...Kobalt or Fiolek. It's actually prettier on than I expected and the color is definitely peachy rather than nude, which is great (and what I was hoping for). I find that EM half-cups (never tried the plunges) make me look much smaller than other bras (ex: CK Showgirl bras, Cleo Juna, Lepel Fiore) and sometimes give a "little coconut shells" silhouette under a shirt, but I don't mind that too much (it's just personal preference, after all) and they do look amazing when not under clothes.
One additional effect of the stretchy band is that the tension of the band when worn doesn't pull/widen the cups as much as usual, which makes this, in effect, too narrow a cup for me, even though it's the same width as other EM bras that do end up being wide enough. Read more 138 more words
Band fits a little tight. Feels like a 28 and a half, if that makes sense. The cups run one size small. So overall I'd say this is like a tight 30F (UK) even though it's sized 30FF (65FF). It has narrow wires and deep volume at the base of the cup, which is just right for me.
The bra is really dramatic and sexy, yet so comfortable—a difficult combination to find in large cups. The fun thing about this it is that it creates some serious “boobs on a platter” cleavage. I haven’t looked this perky since I was 18! It is nothing short of anti-gravitational.
I bought it used but in like-new condition from Bratabase then wore it twice, but decided it's too small in the cups for me.
This is my favorite padded bra (favorite soft cups are Cleos!) It gives amazing cleavage and the removable pads help with my different sized boobs. It barely shows under shirts (thin shirts/light colored the seams show through a little). Feels very soft and luxurious and the bows are a cute touch.
This is one of those bras that has me constantly sneaking peeks at my breasts throughout the day because they just look so damn good! I was worried that a CHP bra would have too much projection for me, but this bra fits like a dream. I ordered it in the equivalent of the smaller of my two "normal" cup sizes and it worked out perfectly. I've heard that the EM PL bras run small in the cup, but didn't really notice much of that here. The fabric isn't as stiff as the HP Kobalt that I tried and the bra seems to be more willing to move ...with me than the Kobalt did (though, to be fair, the Kobalt might relax a bit after wearing and washing). I love the shape this bra gives, I love how comfortable it is, in fact, the only thing I don't completely love about this bra is the lack of triple hooks in back. That's really the only thing that could make this bra better for me. Wish I could order a few more of these, but they appear to be gone in my size. Read more 84 more words
This is a sturdy bra. It's out of my first EM order and I can't get over how impressed I am. Nothing flimsy or cut-rate about it. The wings are so well reinforced and the overall construction is really very good. The fabric on the Kobalt, which I ordered in a 30FF and 30G, is extremely stiff out of the box. I'm curious how much it will relax after wearing and washing. Hopefully it will relax a little, since I'd like it to conform just a tiny bit more to my shape. Still, this is definitely a keeper. The greyish blue color and the pattern of the fabric ...are really lovely. The shape is a little odd currently, with the way it shoves my breasts forward through the center, like it's trying to pour them out of a spout, though I think that's more to do with the way the bra was folded for shipping. Pretty sure about that. Still, it looks wonderful and I have been completely won over by all the EM bras in my order.
Size-wise, I wasn't sure what to do for my purchase. I heard that the PL bras run small in the cup, but I thought that the HPs, HMs, and maybe CHPs would work better for me, so those are the bras I tried. I can't compare PL sizing to the non-PL bras that I bought, but I can say that I fit the HP and CHP in the smaller of my two "normal" sizes and went down one cup size from there for the HM (though I will be trying the HM in my regular size. The one I bought is a bit small in the cups). Personally, I thought that the HP Kobalt ran fairly true to size in the cup. The 30 (65) band was nice and snug for my 27" rib cage. It could have been a little tighter, but I don't know that I'd want to go down to a smaller band since I'm afraid that that might be uncomfortable on my ribs. Read more 237 more words
Gorgeous bra!! The color is deep red, bordering on maroon covered with black lace. There is a black bow with a little sparkly ring at the center gore, and the straps have red detailing too (easier to show a picture). Fit is not bad on this one. It's quite similar to my HP but a little less pushed up and more forward projection. Shape is very round. It's smooth under shirts. There is nothing digging or poking anywhere, the inside of the cups is soft and non-irritating. It feels more supportive than my HP and comes up a little higher (this is one cup size up as well). I am very pleased with this and definately would order more of this style. My best fit would probably be a 28 band though so I may try that next time.
Edited: I need to stop denying the obvious....these Ewa 30 bands are all too big for me. I am going to list this and reorder the proper (custom) size because I love the fit, color, and shape of this bra.
This bra is absolutely gorgeous in construction. The cups are padded, with a lavender lace overlay. The front of the straps has a lovely purple ribbon accent, while the back of the straps are plain white (the straps are NOT fully adjustable, however). The band is reasonably stretchy but runs a bit tight/ short, so account for that-- maximum stretch on this is just about 29.25 inches, on a "30" equivalent band.
The fit is very comfortable, even allowing for the tight band.
The fit is beautiful and very flattering with and without clothing, however it gives me quad boob because the cup is too small. I do intend to reorder this in one or two cup-sizes up-- it is stunning and gives great shape, once I find the size that will allow my entire breast to fit into the cup.
I am not sure what I think of this bra. I had really high expectations, but I am not sure if it fits or not. It seems too loose in the back (Whilst they will make a 60 (28) you can't return it so it was recommended to me to purchase 65 first and if I need 60 to exchange it as can't do it the other way round!). Maybe my problems will be fixed by getting the 60G. It doesn't seem quite supportive enough, and yet I know there are lots of people bigger than me that love it, so I think it ...should be supportive. Also I think the cup is right, but I may be falling out just a fraction, although there is a little bit of room at the top of the cup... Part of my problem is that whilst from the front it gives a nice shape, from the sides I don't seem to have much shape - the bra itself gives a nice shape but my breast aren't a nice curve over the bra, just soft skin (hope this makes sense). This might be that my breasts are not firm enough, so I wonder if I should avoid this type of style. Not sure if I will keep it, swap for the 60G or return it altogether. It is really really pretty though, and very nice material. Read more 134 more words
I really wish this was the right size in the cups, because I love it. I love the high center gore and the vertical seams creating round, perky breasts. The fabric is smooth and silky, and the little dash of lace very classy. The band is fine, though I think I would go down a size, as it's stretchier than the halfcup softcups I tried on before. (I'm a 28 band and 27.5" in the chest.)
I bought this with the 65F to compare sizes. This size actually fits very similarly to the 65F, the only major difference is the gaping on my larger side, which is just slightly more. I'll be keeping both sizes and I'll update my reviews once I've worn them for a while.
Update: the 65F fits better so this bra has been listed.
