I thought it would fit similarly to the SM style but it's way to closed off at the tops for me (full on top). I think it's because the fabric is padded whereas the SM is just mesh.

My Stats: FOB, projected, close set, firm and dense tissue.
Size: Normally 60FF, got this in a 70E . At the time, the print and price were way too good to pass up so I decided to go with a 70E.

Bra Stats
Appearance: orange bra with a dessert print. The lace on the band is orange over a white fabric as is the top of the cups. The inside of the cups are white. I am a bit surprised the top of the cup above the seam isn't sewn together.

Cups: good projection and narrow wires. I think I could have sized up one more cup to get a better ... fit on my larger side. There is just a hint of quad boob and the wire is just a smidge too small on the larger side.

Band: firm band, good support.

Gore: gore is of mid height and tacks

Straps: wide-set

Shape Under Clothing: round shape with a subtle peak. My boobs don't stick out as much which is nice if you aren't looking to display the girls. It does look funky on my larger size due to the quadding so I'm wondering if going up one size will fix that or if whatever size I got is fine. Although, I'll probably stick to 28 or 30 bands from now on. Sister sizing up 2 sizes isn't really worth it even if the design is pretty.

Final thoughts: This is my first SF and I quite like it. I usually like padded bras but didn't feel too exposed because the cups were opaque. The SF does handle size asymmetry pretty well although I would like to try one cup size up because I prefer to fit my larger side (I think the bigger side might be closer to a G cup than a FF cup). Overall a really nice bra and looking forward to buying more!

This bra is so pretty. The pinky peach of the lace and satin are really feminine and I love that it's backed with white and not beige.
The SF is not my best fit. It seems to want more upper fullness than what I have and this is especially so in the tulle/mesh topped ones vs the lace top. The shape I get in this is a little more peaked than I like. It's not pointy, but I prefer rounder. It's a little more natural and it does look nice, just not my favorite.
I like the wires in the SF. They hit at a different spot from my BMs ... so they're a nice break for me sternum especially. They're not too wide and the immediate projection is good enough. The fabric used to make the SFs is a little stiffer than the BM so I get some wrinkling at the wire even though the cup is filled okay.
Straps are a bit wide and coupled with the stiffness can get a bit uncomfortable near my underarm during the day.

Puder is a gorgeous sophisticated cool toned dusty mauve with lace cups and a jersey band, it is lined in white mesh.

The promo images for this bra showed a darker contrasting set of bows, the set arrived with matching bows instead of the dark. This is fine, I thought the darker bows were more interesting, but the monotone look to the bra is really lovely.

Aesthetically, my absolute favorite part of this bra is the lace frill under the band. I wasn't sure if this would bother me, but it doesn't at all. It's very soft and doesn't really touch me unless I'm sitting and slouching. Not ticklish or ... annoying at all but it's ultra femme and I really love that detail and would enjoy it on more bras.

This bra is a little stretchier than some of my 70s have been lately so I need to wear it on the second or third set of hooks. This is okay, I don't mind, my Ewa bras tend to not stretch out much over time and I don't anticipate having to move to the last set at any point.
As for fit, nothing really stands out to me. This is what I expect from a BM bra. Narrow wires that stay in place, soft stretchy lace that accommodates my tall shallow roots and my FoB shape. A comfortable workhorse of a bra that gives me a lovely round shape while being comfortable and ultra cute.

I got the matching bottoms, of course, they are true to their 38 size and fit my squat butt well with no cutting in. I thought that the lace trimmed back style that these are would be a bit fuller coverage than I ordinarily like, but they're pretty cheeky which makes me happy. The lace around the legs makes them more or less invisible under pants, which is great but I would still prefer a thong.
I love Ewa's bottoms, but I don't love that she seems to only be making one style for her colorful offerings. I like to have both styles as I prefer options and want the ability to wear the bra more than once before washing. I've had some success with Hanky Panky offering their thongs in workable colors, but they're $25 or so and at that price I'd rather just buy two pairs of Ewa's coordinates.
I still wish she'd made a thong for this bra, and that she had echoed the band frill along the thong trim. I adore having a ruffle butt, what a missed opportunity https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

It’s the first time I ordered an EM half cup in 70E. I always thought the half cups have looser bands than plunges or S styles (it’s also what Ewa says on her web site). In my case all the half cups run a little bit tighter than any other style. My last half cups, Red Wine and Office, are actually so tight I could never wear them without extender (I can fasten it but it’s anything but comfortable).
I’m pretty glad I went up a band size. Even though the band measurements are comparable to the Jagody, it feels firmer. I think it might be because of the ... underwires, they’re probably harder.
The cup isn’t definitely a perfect match for my shape. I didn’t notice this problem with my other CHPs probably because of the tighter band, but now I can see this style is designed for FOT breasts and I’m rather FOB. The cups are very projected and rather open on top. I think it’ll be great during my PMS. Under the clothes, the shape is really projected and rounded compared to the S style or any unpadded EM bra.
I don’t like the straps in this bra, like any other black straps in EM bras by the way. They’re the same width as the Jagody, but they’re stretchier and I don’t feel well supported especially in this style because my breasts are more projected are more weight is put on the straps. I think I’ll never order any bra with black straps from Ewa again.
On the positive side, I really like the lace covering the cups, much more than the one in Oxana. The overall quality, excepting the straps, is really nice.

I love the deep cobalt shade of this bra! It's such a rich color and so uncommon in lingerie. I adore how bold it is. I was really bummed that I had skipped the BM Chaberek when it came out, this is a better replacement for me as I like the briefs for the Wersal far more than the Chaberek (the briefs were actually the reason I had skipped that set). My Wersal is slightly different than others, I had them use a white mesh backing rather than the beige. I think it suits my taste more than the slightly more elegant look of the darker backing.

All around ... this fits as I expected it to. Narrow wires, deep cups especially at the wire, good height and a comfortable band that is tight for the size but works well for me. I have no complaints on fit nor were there any surprises for me.

Quality I marked as okay because even though it's sewn well and hasn't stretched out on me, the lace catches on everything. Literally every time I wash it it gets snagged on something. I handwash in the sink, so it's not as if it's agitated too much, it just gets snagged on another hook (even though I always hook them before I toss in the sink, wtaf?), a gore bow, dangly bits, always something. It doesn't leave any noticeable tearing but it is so annoying and I do worry about the longevity of it because of that. I can't even wash it alone as it somehow twists on itself to snag the cup. This is the only bra I have this issue with, it's weird.

Unfortunately, this bra runs small in the cup so it doesn't really fit me very well.This was true of my 65E as well. I was hoping it was just that bra but perhaps it's an issue with Lato in general.
Lato is pretty old at this point. I got this one from another user who I'm sure got it from yet another person, so it's been well loved and it's still in excellent shape.

As for the bra itself, it has wonderfully narrow and comfortable wires. The straps are only half adjustable, which presents issues for me most of the time, but these ones are also pretty short so I ... have no trouble with them. The materials are soft and the band is comfortable since the too small cups takes up the extra looseness I would otherwise experience with it.

When CHPs are too small for me they crush my breasts and I feel really confined, so for now this sits lonely in my drawer. I've worn it once or twice when all my other bras are dirty but it's an awful look on me and it isn't terribly comfortable.
In reality, I should relist it here but Lato is one of my favorite patterns ever and I was heartbroken when I had to sell my other one. I'm going to save this one for now just in case, even though my size doesn't actually fluctuate very much.

This bra fits me beautifully and gives me a great shape. As with other S cuts of EM bras, the gore is slightly too short, which allows my soft, center-full tissue to pool in the middle just a bit. The color of this bra is really good as a "nude" bra that does not show through clothes (as opposed to Bezus which is too "bright"). Also, this bra is free of lace and embroidery so it is smooth under clothes rather than "bumpy" like some bras are. I am so happy I bought this bra!

Excellent quality bra, looks great under a t-shirt. Unfortunately the cups are a bit too big for me, there is a decent amount of gapping after a few hours of wear (no gapping after first putting it on). The padding is also a bit thick, and includes extra removable padding which makes my boobs look unnaturally large lol.

What a classic beauty...creamy ivory lace, simple satin and crystal ornament. Typically well-made and finished with EM's signature narrow wires and uplifting shaping. And way, way too tiny for my 32F girls. Not sure if this bra is just generally cut small, given the measurements? Swapped on reddit and it looks totally unworn. I couldn't wear it, even with an extender and my short roots the cups were quite tiny.

The S cut and I don't get a long that well, I should probably stop buying them.
But the Trapez is so pretty, I couldn't help myself when my sister size popped up on Reddit.

The bra itself is made of a soft and stretchy deep merlot fabric with a dark gray cross hatch pattern. The cups are trimmed in a burgundy lace and gunmetal bows at the gore and straps pull it all together.

After sewing through the band elastic and putting pads in the cups I'm happy to wear this for now. The bra is really comfortable and soft and I do enjoy the shape the S cut gives ... when I wear the pads with it. This particular cut asks for upper fullness that I don't have. My roots are really short, everything above a certain point is muscle (which can mimic quad boob in closed bras, it's really a hassle) and I cannot fill up the top without some help at the bottom. The shape is projected and rounded and has a nice rolling hills appearance.
Unfortunately, the straps are only half adjustable. I will have to shorten them soon. They are soft, thick, and not super stretchy, so they are comfortable anyway. The front is the same patterned material, the back with the sliders is embroidered burgundy.

Beautiful satiny taupe/purple/grey (color is truly unique). Great EM S style with support and quality it is known for. It is just not the right fit on me. Took tags off too fast however I never reached for it.

I just want to cry. This bra I was hoping the most it will fit. Yeah, in 70DD would be perfect so if anyone has I'm happy to buy it! Have never seen so good fitting lace bra on my small boobs. This bra deserves 11/10!

My least favourite EM bra: gives me a bit of a flattened shape. I suspect I could afford to size down in the cup in this one, if they made it.

30F/FF narrow and tall roots, projected, full on top

This is currently my best fitting bra and along with that it is absolutely gorgeous. I love the black lace overlay on the red fabric. The straps also have a neat lace detailing on the front part that shows through a red ribbon. The cups are narrow enough for my roots and fit my breasts perfectly while providing a lovely rounded shape. While it is definitely not a cleavage bra I love the way my breasts look in this bra. The lace on the top edge is a little bit open and loose but does not interfere with fit or show underneath clothing at all. My only issue with this bra is that I need the second hook of an extender but hopefully that will be fixed when the elastic relaxes a bit.

I've always wanted a sheer bra like the Freya Arabella (5721) but Freya's don't work for my shape. Since the 70E - Ewa Michalak » Sm Margot (434) worked for me, I figured this would too and it does! On their website, they say the band fits tight, but I found it to be the same as the Margot. Generally speaking, the fit is very similar to the Margot in the same size I own. I would say though, that this model is more closed on top because of the lacy part, but it doesn't seem to be an issue for me.

Pros:
- Completely sheer!
- Nice rounded shape and good lift

Cons:
- Compared to the margot, it's poky under the arms and it left red marks. It might be an issue of breaking the bra in.
- I don't really like the look of the lacy top section. I think narrower lace would be better.

This is an excellent T-shirt bra. Just the faintest hint of the lace at the top shows through a thin white T-shirt, and you have to be looking very closely to see even that much. It is very comfortable - so much so, in fact, that I have been able to wear it all day straight away rather than having to break it in.

The S Porcelanka is described as being for 'difficult' breasts on Ewa's website, which I think explains why the underwires come up higher on the sides, which is a feature I like very much, since I'm often wishing that the wires of my Cleo bras were just that little bit longer. It is different to most of Ewa's padded bras in that it doesn't have the 'cookies' for size correction, and I wish it did have them because it does gape a bit on my smaller side. I may sew one of the cookies that I don't use from my 3D Wodzianka into this one if I can be bothered.

I've always admired the EM Garden pattern. I was excited to have the chance to purchase this bra from jlcl119. It arrived promptly and just as described.

This is the first unlined EM I've tried. Overall, I'm pleased. The material is soft and comfortable. There is wrinkling at the top of the cup on my smaller side, but not enough to bother me. I have shortened the strap on my smaller side to accommodate my asymmetry. This works but also irritates my ToS on that side.

I'm using the 2nd set of hooks (I was on the 3rd set yesterday). EM puts 4 rows of hooks on her bras.

I have a *slight* indentation on my larger side where the angled top seam is. It isn't notable under clothes. The wires are perfect for me. I've worn it for 8 hours today, and other than the armpit irritation, it's VERY comfortable.

Got this bra secondhand and just took a guess on the sizing. I don't own any other bras from this brand to compare with, and besides from what I read here, it seems like the different styles are inconsistent. I read that these bras can run tight in the band and maybe a cup small in plunge styles, so I got this in one band size larger and one cup size larger. The result- It's just ok. I wouldn't have minded a 65 band, and based on my measurement the 70 band is pretty true to size. The cup size is also too big. I think a DD ... would have worked fine, but may have run the risk of quadding. Can't say without having tried it.

As for the attributes of the bra.
The bra itself feels really nice. It feels like good quality. It's comfy and pretty at the same time. It is a short cup with a plunging shape, ideal for creating cleavage. The seams and lace show up a little bit under tight clothing. There are also pockets for padding cutlets if you're uneven or want to create more of a push up effect with inserts. The hooks are a different shape than I've seen on other brands.

I would have guessed the band to be a big bigger than 32" on the nose. Rather open on top, with semi-adjustable straps. Something of a half cup blended with a plunge. Gorgeous, so soft it was my home or sleep bra. Seems to have softer, but still rather adamant, wires than Ewas usually do.
