This is just too lovely for words. So glad I cave and bought this. Only thing I don't like is that the band has only 2 hooks on this one, when this size is listed with 3 hooks.

Gorgeous, I love it. I think I'm in between sizes right now, so I went with the larger since I expect a G would not fit for long. I have just a little space at the top where I have lost some upper fullness. It rubs just a little in my armpit, but I hope it will soften with wear. The website lists this model as having a tight band but I don't think it is noticeable. Definitely not enough for me to size up. The shape is perfect, exactly what I hoped for.

I love this bra. It's super comfy, very pretty, and fits me perfectly. The only con about it is that the straps don't shorten all the way, and are thus too long for me. It should be an easy fix, but as a shorty with high-set breasts, I wish all companies made fully adjustable straps. We are not all the same! This is my first EM bra, and it won't be my last. So far, I am impressed. Also, I love that it has 3 hooks in the back. Most bras my size still have the 2 hooks, though more companies seem to be adding 3, which is good. Great support.

I like the design of the bra. It looks sophisticated, classic and elegant. It's like more of a burgundy color, which I like. The band is actually stretchy and confortable. It's true to size, eh? The straps are far apart, but it doesn't actually slip. I'm not sure with that for now though, as I just got it and tried it on for the first time. I get a slight quadboob after scooping and swooping, but I think I'll get more gaping if I have the next cup size. But so far, this is one of the best-fitting bras I've ever had and the most comfortable one too.

Once again I tried to find my "perfect" bra from Ewa. Once again I'm really confused. The bras depth, projection, cup height & wires were just what I was looking for but it still doesn't fit. The top of the cup gaps so bad! I got this used from another user. It's been well loved but it's obviously a good bra. Just not for me.

The band is perfect, but I think I snagged one that has too large of cups for me. It has silky fabric and the lace doesn't irritate the skin. Honestly, this would be a perfect bra in the correct size.

This bra seems to fit in an acceptable manner right after I put it on. Right after that though it slides down my body and I get an impressive amount of overspill. The cups are very shallow at the base, and it seems to be a cup size smaller than my other EM bras (all are CH/CHP/HP cuts). The cups themselves are made of a stable thin foam, and the bra feels well made. I wish it was more compatible with my shape and/or came in larger sizes.

The front of this bra fits pretty well, gives great shape. The straps are slightly too far apart for me, I'd basically like for the outer edge of the strap to be where the inner edge of the strap is. The padded straps are awesome, but too long and I had to alter them shorter. The cup fabric of this bra is a shiny silvery white, it kind of reminds me of the fabric used in halloween costumes, and looks kind of cheap. The polka dotted band is delightful though. I bought this with the intention of dyeing it, I think the shiny fabric would look more acceptable ... in hot pink.

The band on this bra is atrocious, I hate it. There's a vertical strip of boning 9cm tall about 7-10cm (at rest vs stretched measurement) from the underwire. Up until that point the band looks like a regular bra band, two layers of fabric with elastic at the top and bottom. past that, there's just a triangle of the two fabrics with no elastic to centre a 2 hook closure (3cm high) onto the strip of boning. The band feels unstable and unsupportive, and that vertical boning digs in at the bottom corner every time I move.

Such a gorgeous bra. Even prettier than in pictures. My first time trying EM and it's about 1.5 cup sizes too big for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I so wanted this to fit. I'm usually a 30G so I thought this might be a little bit big, but I thought I could deal with it. Fits beautifully everywhere else; just too big in the cups https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Brand new, still wear testing. Cups and straps are stretchy material, band is very tight with less stretch. Straps are half adjustable. Material is soft and smooth, very comfortable. Cups are deeper with a more narrow wire.

I bought this bra from another member. I absolutely love this bra. The only problem is that its too big in the cups. What I mean is that I have empty space in both cups. Since my breasts are asymmetrical my left breast fills out the cup more than the right does in its cup. I tried adjusting the straps but its still too big cup size wise. I haven't figured out how I'm going to pad each side but its a bra that I am keeping. The empty space in the left cup is less than 2 cm. The empty space in the right cup is less than 4 cm. Edited to add: this is the first Ewa that I have ever owned.

The PL Onyks is the best fitting bra I have ever tried and is pretty much perfect for me. This is the first Ewa Michalak bra I have purchased and I was fortunate enough to have ordered it in the correct size (postage to Australia is quite dear at AU$23). The size calculator on the Ewa Michalak website calculated me to be a 65G but I ordered the 65GG because my measurements correspond to this size on the website's size chart.

I feel the construction of this bra is almost perfect for me and it solves some difficult bra fitting problems I often experience. It features:
* Projected cups, as ... opposed to shallow cups, which means the cups have enough room for me, especially at the bottom where they are perfectly filled.
* Shorter cups as opposed to taller cups; they cover less of the chest and do not rub under my arms.
* A low (and narrow enough) centre gore, so for me the wires do not rest on breast tissue. I wouldn't mind a lower and/or narrower gore but this is really the best I have come across.
* A stretchy yet supportive band. My ribcage comfortably measures 28 inches and this band is comfortable and allows me room to breathe.
* Stretchy, supportive and comfortable straps. No matter how firm the band on a bra, I always get a lot of support from the straps and these straps do the job very well.

Moreover, this bra is extremely comfortable. I cannot stress that enough. I find myself mentally comparing this bra to the black Freya Deco I own (which was previously my best fitting bra), but for me, the PL Onyks is well above and beyond the Deco as far as both fit and comfort are concerned.

I think the wires in this bra are quite rigid and I can feel them against my sternum but they don't really dig in and they seem to be becoming more comfortable the longer I wear the bra. The only problem I have (and this seems to be a common problem) is that the comfort straps do not adjust to be short enough for me. I may try to alter them but in all honesty, the regular straps are comfortable enough. I'd also like to note that when the bra arrived there was a slight pull of some sort on the cup but it is hardly noticeable and I do not feel it affects the quality of the bra.

Ordering this bra was well worth the risk. It looks and feels wonderful. I am very happy with this purchase and I think Ewa Michalak makes lovely bras; I look forward to trying more in the future.

Band is very tight for a 30/65, I had to use an extender. It never seemed to really stretch out.

Lovely bra, very obviously well-made, but unfortunately does not work for my shape at all.

One of my favourites.

I knocked the quality and comfort ratings down because the band is ridiculously tight- obviously a sewing or labeling error- and I have to wear it with 2 extenders. But with the extenders, it's very comfortable, and it's held up through 6 months of being worn about twice a week. It looks so delicate I was sure the lace would have torn somewhere by now, but (knock on wood) it seems to be stronger than it first appeared.

The lace is stretchy, the bra fits throughout the month, and fits both boobs equally.

The shape is great- round and lifted, but more subdued than the other EM shapes I've worn (PL, CH, S and SM).

This bra is extremely sexy, but given it's my only non-padded black bra I wear it as a basic.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet- it's my favourite bra!

The look is quite vintagey- sort of a 1940's or 50's vibe, really beautiful. The colour is beige, different to the creamy colour it appears to be on the EM website photos. It makes a great basic bra, though it doesn't completely disappear under thin tops the way a plain seamless beige would. The seams are almost flat, and the lace is so pretty I don't mind if the pattern is slightly visible under certain fabrics.

The band is very tight- I used an extender for the first 2-3 wears.

The fit is amazing, the top of the lace ... seems like it was painted onto my bigger boob, and there's only slight gaping on my smaller boob. It's one of only 3 bras (all EM's) that I'm 100% comfortable with both when I'm PMS'ing and when I'm not.

I saved the best for last- the shape! Perfection- round but not too round, amaaazing lift, centered as can be. I feel like it's not shaping my breasts so much as lifting them into the natural shape they'd have in a world without gravity. Moon boobs!

Glad to receive from allifrack ! It has that classic wayyy too deep cup Ewa/Effuniak look like I'm offering my boobs out for dinner, which is why I'm surprised Ewa bras don't run closer to people's leaning measurements. But it does fit quite nicely despite my thoughts about style! I think I will be quite happy to wear it under clothes, after getting used to the feel - I have recently lost some weight and apparently some padding right where it matters on the ribs. But I walked around the house a bit before even noticing that so I think I'll be good https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It reminds me of my Cleo Ellie in 28H. A 28 in this style though would certainly be falling off a narrower person's shoulders.

While this bra no longer fits, this bra makes my breasts go out front and center in a way that no other bra I own can compare to. I recently put it on to wear for the first time in a couple months because I was washing all my other ones, and immediately said "Wow" once I put my shirts on.
Nicely projected and away from the armpits. This is the kind of shape I like and the kind I think suits my body best. The only other one real close to providing 'my shape' is Masquerade Anise (6171). These vertical seams and narrow wires are a match made in a place where there are beer volcanoes and stripper factories.

This one runs pretty tight in the band and big in the cup compared to my experience with the PL bras. I'm not sure it's enough to order a band size up, but I'll have to wear it with an extender for a little bit. I'd recommend ordering a cup size down from your usual PL size, if you know it, though. Otherwise, it's a good fit for me.
