This bra is absolutely gorgeous. I took the leap when ordering an EM bra and I am so so glad I did. The embroidery is beautiful, the color scheme, everything is gorgeous and it feels like a princess bra. I love it. The band is nice and firm, which is something I was worried about, but it fits well, even with my small ribcage. The wires are nice and narrow and long enough, they encase all my side boob. It's great. The cups might be slightly too tall for me, and I might try the HM cut next time, but the bra looks good on me regardless, in my opinion. The cups are SLIGHTLY too big, and I don't quite fill the top 100% but a size down would have lightly been too small. Nonetheless, I am very pleased with the fit and quality of this bra.
The Kleksik is more navy and less purple than in the Ewa Michalak product photos. The satiny cups are silky smooth. The cotton lining is black. The straps are unusually delicate looking, less than half an inch in width. I was meant to get the MP version of the Kleksik in 65FF. The S 65FF is, not surprisingly, too big in the cups. Since the S cut is meant for soft tissue prone to falling out of plunges and low coverage bras, the higher coverage cups and wings of this S Kleksik make sense. I have the opposite problem, however, which is why I stick to super low gores and as low coverage cups as I can get. In most cases, that means Ewa Michalak's 3D and the more recent MP cuts.
Did you order MP and receive the S? I've been comparing the MP I ordered to the MP in the sister size and measurements seem far off. Wonder if I received an S.
Also, I know this is an old review, but I'm trying to figure out what's up with such different measurements. Lol
Yes, I ordered the MP Kleksik but received the S. The same thing happened a few months earlier, when I ordered the MP Truskawki Z Malinami. Ewa Michalak's company ignored all my attempts to correct the Truskawki situation. To this day they haven't responded to any of my emails on the subject. I swapped the S for the same size MP with Madinic22, who had received the MP instead of the S she ordered.
However, Ewa Michalak did correct the MP Kleksik situation. In the MP Kleksik order, I had ordered two other bras. The 3D Paris Paris I ordered was two cup sizes off from what I ordered. When I emailed them about the two out of three bras being wrong, Dominik responded right away. Very shortly thereafter, Ewa Michalak herself emailed me, asking for photos. When I sent photos, including tags and the picture of the S Kleksik beneath the MP Truskawki, she assured me she would send the correct bras as soon as she received my returns and then reimburse me for shipping. She did as she promised, so now I have everything I ordered.
Queequeg0925, I can believe your suspicion is correct. It is quite possible you received the S instead of the MP.
This bra is quite lovely but not as comfortable as the Stalowka. It runs very tight (I ordered a 30 band and it stretches to 27, MAYBE 28 if I pulled as hard as I could (but I was trying to when I measured it). For me, it is also narrow/sits on breast tissue, but EM is known for having narrow underwires. I do like this bra, it gives a lovely uplifted shape, it just doesn't run true to size. The seams/top of the cup are visible under tshirts but do not show under button downs or dresses.
As stated in my previous review, I got this bra because the size I wanted (30G) was sold out and they only ones available were in a 30FF and a 30GG. It's a beautiful bra, so I bought both because this was my first CH style and I figured one of them might fit...
Anyways, this bra is soo close to fitting that I 'm probably going to end up keeping it. There's a tiny bit of quad-boob effect going on but it's barely noticeable. Most weeks of the month, I shouldn't be spilling over too much in this bra. The band is looser than usual (already fastened ...on the tightest hook), though, but I can work with that. I like the shape more than the PL styles. My breasts are up and center forward, but they don't look crazy big in profile like the PL styles do to me.
I've said before, but the design is so pretty... The color makes a nice contrast against a brown skin tone. I would've been happiest with a 30G, but seeing as how there weren't any left, this is good enough. Read more 82 more words
I am not quite sure what to say about this bra. I really wanted it to fit! Having decided maybe freya just wasn't the right brand for me, then curvy kate just wasn't the right brand for me, I really wanted Ewa Michalak to be perfect! This is very pretty but something is wrong with the fit, but it is a bit hard to put my finger on just what. I bought the 65ff and the 65f (as you can't return the 60) and it is not too bad in the band however, it doesn't seem supportive enough, which may be because it is ...a 65. Also I kept tightening the straps, hoping to make it more supportive and correct the fit of the cups, so by the end the bra had ridden up (but not sure if this is really because it is too big, as it is only a fraction too big, or just because of the amount i tightened the strap). I can't work out which size fits better, neither seem quite right. I think the 65f is better though as there seems to be excess fabric in the 65ff. Read more 94 more words
This is too small in the cups for me, by at least two cups. The band is stretchier than I'd prefer, but I like really tight bands.
I love the wires and how firm they are. No distortion here! The ribbon really does brighten the bra. It isn't itchy (I have annoyingly sensitive princess boob skin), and the 65G version gives me nice cleavage while holding me in. My only complaint is that the straps are awkward to adjust because the slider fits very tightly against the strap. With a little work, I could get it to slide past the ribbon part of the strap, but luckily do not ...need to yet.
My review of the 65G (which is closer to being my cup size than the FF): Comfortable everywhere, though I am still a little big and the band is a little loose, so that I have to readjust several times a day. But I only adjust because I feel slightly awkward, not because anything is poking. It gives a nice shape, holding me in more closely than the CH styles. It's not as much cleavage as a Deco, thankfully. I'm more jiggly in this than I am in my 28G Deco, not sure why. The cups are thin foam, thinner and more malleable than the Deco's cups. The foam isn't covered on the outside with anything, so it feels a little strange to the touch. The ribbons show through thin fabric as little bumps, so it's not a t-shirt smoothing bra. It is, however, a very nice bra, and I am keeping my 65G. Read more 156 more words
This bra is very pretty, but the band is way too big for me. It rides up in the back. The cups seem to fit great though. The wires are narrow and properly fit, my boobs sit nicely in the cups, and I don't have quadding.
Finally! Unpadded Ewa bras are my unicorn bras. It’s been a journey and I’ll update this with a better post at some point, but just want to say- if you’ve tried Panache and Freya and the wires are still too wide, give Ewa a try! You may just find your unicorn

Same cut/fit as the regular SF, which I LURVE. In the most general sense, this style feels like an upgrade from the 'too open/loose on top' regular style. However, there is a much shorter upper band proportionately, which throws the fit off a bit for ...me and am not sure if this is meant to be super sturdy with minute give, in anticipation that it WILL stretch out easily from regular wear? Or, the upper band is meant to hold the whole breast in more compact fashion to compensate for the extra low gore, and avoid spills. So far this seems to produce crumpling/collapsing, line-of-demarcation/wide divot along breast before roots, and a generally weird digging pressure. My breasts are pretty short/small/functionally FOB if not actually FOB, with not much tissue around the inner cup, and this part of the bra feels closer to Panaches' Andorra than I'm comfortable with (decided that bra detests inner fullness of any type).

Cannot tell if I am having a stroke, or an epiphany. Last few months have been releieved with depth ratio of 2.0 and can't find anything higher than this, but clearly need it at this stage.
This bra got me through february 2022. It is now 5 weeks on, March 2022, and while cozy the gore is doing that old familiar stabby stab, while 'big sis' Toffik is not. Have ordered bramaking supplies and will just sew up a few more sizes bigger with a 60cm ...band and see where that goes, can't afford to wait a month on the next size up and keep sizing out immediately. I'm now FIVE inches larger than when i started this ewa fitting *&@%# back in October. FUCKING HELL. I want to dieeeee.
At this stage living in BM (best depth ever), S (perfect fit, if not twice my height) & Sf (godwaffle bad wire twiddling, lifting), are coming into their own in the rotation, not sure is this is due to their cuts being deeper (taller) or something specific to their shape (curvier?).

My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full. It's narrow enough for me but I think the cups are a little too shallow for my immediate projection. But it's not shallow all over. Straps are wide set and the cups go into my armpits a little. I also sewed some ribbon on the inside to tighten the band but it is old.
My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full. Like the other m's, this is really good for narrow and projected shapes and has a low gore. The straps go into my armpits a little bit but they are not as bad as other EM's because the cups are lower.
In addition, the lace is so gorgeous and the color is too light to work as a nude for my skin tone but it does blend in under white tops. I think it's a little too open on top or maybe the cups aren't high enough because I feel a little spillage with the pads in, unlike my 65FF m gorzka or chaberek. I got it used from rachaelll (ty!) so I imagine the band is more comfortable and stretched out than when it was nwt.
My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full. I'm so glad that EM still had fabric to make this bra because it's so gorgeous in photos and real life, especially because the 65F was unfortunately too small for me. The cups are the perfect depth and width for me (I think chaberek is one of the deepest m styles along with the gorzka) and it's not too open like the perłowy, so my center tissue is contained even with pads. The gore is also really low which I love. The band is not absurdly tight like EM used to make them but would still be too tight for a true 65/30 band, but I chose the M because of this. What's amazing is the straps are also slightly too wide set but the cups being low helps them to not dig into my armpits. It's even better than the m perłowy or the m gorzka.
My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full. I really love this bra, the brown lace is so beautiful. Like the other m's, it is very projected and narrow, if not one of the most. I love that I can wear it with or without pads and the gore is very low. The straps are a little bit wide set but the fact that the cups are lower helps to not hurt / dig into my armpits like other EM's
This is a gorgeous bra that runs extremely small https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> unfortunately. Mine is a 65 band (so a 30) but fits closer to a 26. The cups fit perfectly and true to size but the band is just too tiny for me to keep and use
Fits very similarly to the beige Sf (maybe slightly smaller in the cup), but I think the beige may be a bit more closed on top. Used to fit, now too small in cup for me.
Did you order MP and receive the S?
I've been comparing the MP I ordered to the MP in the sister size and measurements seem far off.
Wonder if I received an S.
