Absolutely stunning bra...for someone with firmer boobs. Sadly, I have too much loose skin on my chest from weight loss, and since they jiggle too much, they jiggle right out of the top of the cup. Someone who just has soft tissue without the excess skin would probably do fine in this bra, but it doesn't provide enough coverage for me. It fits almost more like a half cup, except the gore is too low to be a half cup. I guess this is just proof that Ewa Michalak is not the brand for me. Very disappointing, because this bra is absolutely stunning.
Wider than other Ewa Michalak styles, and so, too wide for me. I need a bra around 5.5 inches in width, which is about what most Ewas in my size range measure, give or take. The BM style seems to come up wider, and because of that caused major orange in glass and slid down my torso to rest on the top of my stomach. That made the short gore stab the hell out of my projected sternum.
It's a gorgeous bra with a very silky material and stretch lace upper, so even though the gore was too low for me, my center heavy boobs actually didn't fall to the center out of the cups.
The cup width kills this one for me. If I could keep the bra up where it was supposed to be, I would definitely buy it again with a raised gore, but I have some very, very narrow, projected girls(more than most projected ladies - unlined freyas are too shallow for me), and it just doesn't give me the support I need.
Hooray! This bra fits me perfectly! Of course, the cookies come with it, and they make it too small, so they had to go. Without the cookies, it's a perfect fit.
I am so happy with this bra! I love the red, the strawberry between the cups is totally adorable, and man is the fabric soft! I'm totally gonna wear it lots.
Comfort level is very high-I have a feeling these straps will stretch out rather quickly, but nothing a quick bit on a sewing machine can't fix.
As for the appearance, it actually looks a lot like my Comexim Eris structurally, and I think the materials are fairly similar. Love them both for different reasons!
I absolutely love this bra. I have three (2 65GG, 1 70GG) and wouldn't hesitate to get another. I have narrow, FOB, very projected breasts and this bra fits great. I live in this bra in the summer because the convertible straps make it wearable with most clothes. I have had some trouble with the straps slipping out, but it's never happened with the open end facing inward. I altered one set of the padded straps so the hooks face opposite directions so the don't pop off when worn cross-back and that has worked great. The padded straps are surprisingly practical and when worn cross-back rarely show, if at all, with most racerback tops.
Brand new, wear testing. Very firm band for a 65, with very little stretch. Has cute detailing at the straps that is horribly uncomfortable. Material is pretty, much prettier in person. Inside stitching is not pretty at all, I'll try and get a picture of it.
This is Ewa Michalak's standard molded strapless design. The cup is too wide and too shallow at the bottom for me. My FOB breasts push the bra down in front, despite the band tension being otherwise adequate. I would recommend this bra to someone who has FOT or soft breasts and needs medium to wide wires.
This was my first EM order so it was a bit of a gamble. For reference, I normally wear Freya Deco 28G and find that a 30 back on @Masquerade is usually too big and rides up. I'm currently 3 months pregnant - I'd already upsized to a 28GG but was spilling out of the cups hence the drive to take the plunge with EM since I'd been sized out of the Deco range (can't wear balconnettes as too FOT).
The EM calculator suggested I was a 70G but after a lot of researching user reviews here I decided to order a 65GG due ...to being FOT and favouring firmer bands. I ordered a combination of sizes in PL and CHP to understand EM styles, accommodate my expanding cup size and give my ribcage room to expand.
The 65GG in the PL Onyks only just fits in the cup now if I take out the extra padding, although I'm hoping my breasts don't grow any bigger for a while as there is zero margin for additional volume.
The band on this bra wasn't as tight as I expected after reading some of the reviews - I can fasten it on its tightest hook if desired (its only my second day wearing it) and it is very comfortable on the loosest hook. I feel confident that I'll be able to wear this bra throughout my pregnancy as the band is very stretchy - my cup will runneth over way before the band will get too tight.
Comfort-wise this bra is sensational! I'm currently wearing it with the comfort straps - as other reviewers have mentioned, I need to have these straps tightened all the way to avoid them slipping off my shoulders, but they are indeed comfortable. I love that the underwires do not come up too high under my arms but yet the breast tissue is fully enclosed. The shape is different to the more projected CHP style (I bought the famme fatale in the same order - see related review) but I do feel very supported and secure despite the low gore and plunging neckline (although my breast tissue is quite firm).
I did encounter one issue that I thought I'd share as it is not mentioned on the EM website. When I tried to place the order I could not find a way to pay and received an error message which said 'You have selected an invalid form of delivery, you didn't select it at all, or we do not deliver to your country'.
After a few emails to EM it turns out that they cannot accept orders with a total value of more than 700 Zlotys in a single transaction and orders over that amount must be split into multiple orders with postage. I think it is something to do with the Polish Air Mail postal system. It is not an automated system issue as EM could not process my order in one transaction manually either.
Once the issue was resolved I ordered the bras on 21 January and they arrived in Australia on 3 February which I thought was quite quick. Read more 425 more words
Another perfect fit in my usual Ewa Michalak PL size of 65GG! The wires are nice and narrow, the cups are deep and spaced just right for me. I don't have any issues with this bra.
This is one of my first two EM bras with a new cut. I've only had PLs before and know my size in those (65GG). This bra fits pretty much the same, except that the band is a smidge tighter and the cups are about a size too big. It's not too bad though, due to the fact that it's unpadded. I'll definitely keep this bra, as it's very comfortable in every other aspect and very pretty. I'd recommend ordering SM bras one cup size down from your regular PL size.
This bra is stunning. The mesh overlay is absolutely beautiful although it does pucker in some areas so it would be visible under tight fitting clothes.
The band probably runs a bit tight. I'm normally a 28 back and I found this size to be just about right. The band has a 3 hook fastening which is always welcome, and the straps are fairly substantial and fully adjustable.
The cups are pretty true to size too, for me the central gore doesn't lie flat but if I hold it down the cups do fit so I think it's more of a shape issue. If you have issues with the Curvy Kate Thrill me being too shallow this might be the bra for you as the cups do seem deeper. However, if the style of those bras doesn't suit you then this probably won't either.
This is actually the first unlined bra I own that completely fits and gives me the kind of shape that I want under clothes. My only other experience with unlined bras was when I was still figuring out my size and was in denial about how big a cup I really needed, and later with some that mostly fit, but cut into me due to the full-on-top shape of my breasts.
I usually prefer molded cups because of the coverage, but I liked the S shape from Ewa Michalak so much, that I wanted to give this a try. I wasn't disappointed with this bra. In my ...opinion, the S and SM bras give the same shape and have the same fit. It's very uplifted and perkier than what I get from her PL and CHP styles.
As far as looks, the bra is very nice on me. If you look at it in your hands, it's almost completely see through. However, you can't really see any nipple action once you put it on due to the style of the lace and seam placement. The seams are very flat and don't show under a thin shirt. There was a thread sticking out when I first got the bra, so I just clipped that off and was good to go...
The only thing that I didn't like was the jewel decoration in the middle of the bra. That's not quite my style so I might remove that. Overall, though, I really like this bra and I can't wait till Ewa Michalak releases more of these. I'm starting to see how useful an unlined bra can be (especially in the warmer weather).

When I first saw this bra on the website, I thought "ooh, pretty, but not really my taste". I think it was the giant ribbon which put me off. Then I looked again the next day, and found myself thinking about it non-stop, and eventually decided I had to have it.
The fit is perfect. The band is what I consider a good 30, and I've finally found my correct EM cup size. I have very, very slight gaping on my smaller boob, but everything else fits perfectly. I have very soft breasts, and this shape works so much better on me than the PL does. If you have ...soft breasts, and you fall into the middle of plunge bras, this might be the bra for you.
It's very comfortable. I wore it for 12 hours today and only got some pain on my ribs right at the end of the day.
Quality: The lace on the band is stiffer than it looks in pictures. The bottom of the band (the lace embellishments which stick out under the bottom of the actual band) fold up a bit after a while. In addition, I've noticed some slight creasing in the cups, which hasn't happened to any of my other bras unless I've mishandled them. I'll have to treat this one particularly delicately.
The straps have embellishments on them to keep them from sliding after adjustment.
Fit: Since all PL bras have the same cut, you know what you're getting once you've found one in your size. The band of this bra is snug yet stretchy enough to stay put throughout the day without being restricting. The cups fit will and have good forward projection. The underwires encase my breast tissue closely without sitting on top of it. The straps adjust long enough for me, although I had to extend them almost all the way.
Appearance: I love the effect of the black lace over the beige/tan cup. At the moment, my skin is a little too pale to match the cup, but hopefully over the summer, the effect will get more pronounced.
Fit: This bra is spot on for me in terms of fit. The band is snug on the longest set of hooks. The straps adjust to the right length and the padded, extra-wide comfort straps are, well, super comfortable. The underwires encase my breast tissue closely, without lying on top of it. The cups have good forward projection and create the perfect hint of cleavage.
Appearance: I love the Onyks' understated sexiness. It's mostly matte black with black sating edging and two shiny buttons between the boobs. The amount of cleavage I get is very nice and can be "aided" by using the removable padded inserts.
This is my first Ewa Michalak order/bra and I think it is very nice quality. The materials and elastic are soft and comfortable. The straps are fully adjustable but felt too far apart (area where the bra strap meets the front of the cup) for me due to the cups being too big. The underwire are a nice round shape and did not distort despite the fact the cup was too big. I will be reordering this bra in a 65G(30G) to see if I can get a better fit. The band was very comfortable but I have to wear this on the tightest set of hooks. This bra has three columns and three rows of hooks. The nude is on the darker side, but looked fine under a white tee shirt. I ordered on January 6th, I got notice of shipment on January 14th, and it just arrived in the mail today February 4th. This is based on shipping from Poland to Anaheim, CA, U.S.A. Overall I am very pleased with the process.
I really like this bra. The first thing I noticed about it is just how soft the material is. It's just really comfortable putting it on. I got the same size as I have for all of my other EM bras, and it fits me just as well.
This brand is a great fit for me. However, I've noticed lately that the PL and CHP aren't quite in line with my preferred shape. I'm full on top and on those lately, it seems like the apex of those bras sat a little lower than the fullest part of my breast.This shape suits me better in that regard, and ...I feel like it gives me a little more lift.
The only part that I didn't like is that the straps are only halfway adjustable. I'm 5'1" and have a short torso, so the straps were just too long for me. I'll have to alter them in order to be 100% happy about the fit.
Looks-wise, this is a nice cool-toned brown. The design is nice and simple, but the lace is really stunning... The seams show under a thin shirt, but I'm really glad that I finally have a solid colored EM bra. Read more 95 more words
**FYI for anyone mistakenly thinking this is a 50GG/24GG -- IT ISN'T, I must have put in the wrong thing while adding it to the database. Sorry for the confusion**
Excellently constructed, though a hair too small in the cup for my bigger boob. This is one of the bras I would size up in (probably to 65H) if I didn't have the high stomach issue with all Ewa Michalak bras.
I love the soft, coffee-colored material they used on the outside-- it's gorgeous, and though it's kind of impractically light for my skin tone, I wouldn't have been annoyed at having to work around it the way I am with my Freya Adas. Even better, it's got no patterns or any embellishment other than the trim and the nice little bows on the straps and the gore, so there shouldn't be an issue when wearing it under anything but sheer, super-clingy fabric.
The shape and cleavage it gives is awesome. Sadly, though, I'll be selling this bra as well.
The design is pretty, but basic. The seams are visible through thin shirts, but the nude color is a pretty good match for my skin, so from that aspect, I still think it works nicely for sheer or light colored shirts. This material seems quite stretchy, so I'd say the band runs a bit loose-- comparable to Freya sizing.
It does look fairly nice on, and gives a good shape-- very rounded and up-front. The strap design is a positive for me: they are fully adjustable, but I can't adjust them with the straps on-- that's not really ...a negative to me, because the strap design (with a sort of embroidered/ stitched pattern on the top of the strap) keeps it from sliding around-- once you have it adjusted correctly, it does not loosen over time, and I never have to quickly fix it in the morning after washing because it slid around. That's a positive for me, even though it's difficult to get the straps adjusted initially.
I'd say the cups run true to Ewa size-- I need one cup size bigger than Freya, but the band is loose like Freya's (Ewa's band sizing is inconsistent, but generally I can make do with 65). These cups are not a good shape for my soft, close together breasts-- my breasts want to sit in the middle and are malleable, so I have a bit of quad-boob at the center, and empty areas at the sides-- not a good look. Conversely, I can tighten the straps a lot so this is less obvious, but then the straps will rub uncomfortably on my shoulders and will leave red marks over the entire area or rash-like bumps (they disappear within a few hours of taking the bra off, but it's still not ideal. I do have very sensitive skin, and it might be because I just have the straps adjusted too tightly to compensate, due to the non-ideal shape for my breasts).
The straps are a touch too wide for my shoulders, and all in all, I don't find this bra the most flattering for wear. It's just not a good fit for my body. I'll continue to keep it, but it's really a bra that I only wear when I need something that won't show under light shirts. Read more 287 more words
Based on this bra, I would say the CHP style runs considerably larger in the cup than other Ewa Michalak styles, and it also runs fairly small in the band. Also, the straps are NOT fully adjustable (although they are very comfortable and foam lined), and the straps are unable to adjust short enough, which emphasizes that the cup is definitely too big.
The band running small is fine for me, since I am somewhere between a 28 and 30 band in measurement, but don't like to special order bras. However, the cup is far too large-- I definitely need to go down at least one cup size, possibly ...even two. Since I generally feel that Ewa runs one size small (compared to Freya), that would translate to needing approximately the same cup size, or one cup size down, from my Freya size. However, the strap runs one size smaller than Freya, which runs a little loose in the band, in my experience.
So, since my Freya size is 30G, in this bra I would need 65G/30G (or perhaps 65FF, even), as well. However, if you are a "true" 30G in Freya (I fasten on the tightest hook) you should probably order up one size in the band in this style-- so order a 70FF/32FF or 70F in this style.
I'm disappointed that this doesn't fit. I am past the return window, so I may try reselling it. It's a very pretty and seems like it would be comfortable bra, but the sizing is off from normal Ewa Michalak sizing, and it's better suited for women who's breasts are lower and don't normally need fully adjustable straps, as I feel the available adjustability on these straps is much lower than normal. I'd recommend for those people, but I won't re-purchase this style because it's not a great design for my body. Read more 200 more words
The gore touches my sternum. I really like the push up effect. I get major quadraboob though. I think I'm 1-2 cup sizes too small. The band is a good fit.
