While the numbers looked good on paper, this bra does not fit. The band is slightly loose (which I somewhat expected on a 70 band), and the straps are barely long enough. The cups are too short and small, so I'm quadding a lot. The gore tacks, but the underwires don't stay in my IMF and keep riding up even when I tighten the band. This bra is beautiful and comfortable despite the issues, so I can absolutely suggest it to someone who is a bit smaller in the cup than I am. I think the cups are just a bit too separate for me too, though it's hard to tell since they are too small.
Very cute bra! It is labeled 70A (32A) but it really fits more like a 28DD. The cups are super open and run large. On me, the cups are too small since I am a 28F in cup volume, but I plan on holding onto this in case my breasts shrink post birth-control pills.
the lace-up gore is a bit fumbly and will probably take some practice to get just right so that it both fits and looks good. it's a neat idea though and I like that it makes the cup separation customizable. I laced it as tightly as possible all the way down, which caused the band to fit more like a 30 than a 32. It still rides up on the loosest hook though, so I think if I buy any other Ewa bras, I'm going to need a 60. I can wear this on the middle hook.* The cups either run large or are very open on top or ...both because they fit me just fine, maybe even a smidge larger than I need? It does gap if I slouch. I might have to play around with the lacing some more, and learn how to tie a pretty bow while I'm at it.
* EDIT: No I can't. It rides up on the tightest hook even with the straps loosened. Also, surprisingly, the cups work like a push up bra despite the lack of padding. The gapping when I slouch is bothering me a lot. I'm thinking this could work a lot better for someone with a larger ribcage and bigger boobs... and nimble hands to make that lacy centre gore look good. Read more 113 more words
I cannot really give a proper review of this bra, as I haven't worn it all that often while it still fit me well (when I was a 30C in British brands). It definitely gave my boobs a great shape, and it has a very tight band. The cups are a bit less open at the top than the PL Czarny Kropek's, but they're not as closed as some of the new Ewa plunge styles. A great bra for wide root shallow breasts - I've no idea why I didn't wear it more often, ... maybe because the material is still quite stiff (but I'm told it would soften if worn and washed).
I bought this bra when I was still a 30C in other brands. At first I wasn't sure about whether to keep it or not although I've always really liked its looks. In some positions such as bent forward with arms stretched out (tying shoes position) there was some slight gapping. However now - after some breast tissue migration - I am really happy I kept this bra, because it's one of only four of my old bras that still fits me (at least as long as I'm not pre-menstrual). As - according to Ewa's calculator - I'd need a bigger cup sizes in Ewa bras too now, ...I think this is due to the very open cut of the cups. The bra is comfortable, gives my boobs a really great shape (pushed forward), and its band is still really tight so I usually use an extension (1 set of eyelets). Cup separation depends on how tight or lose you tie the ribbon between the cups with this bra. I measured the tightest setting with regular lacing, but you can certainly get the cups closer together with a different lacing method and overlapping eyelets. The only negative aspect I can think of is that the ribbon at the centre gore cuts into my flesh a little more than regular centre gores, creating a criss-cross pattern. Read more 116 more words
