Best fit I've had thus far in an unpadded bra.

Updated on Aug 30, 2021 Flag this

Ewa's sizing is so inconsistent! This bra really shouldn't fit me; the band should be too tight and the cups should be way too small. But. The band is perfect, and larger than my 75 Perelka and damn close to my 80 Mak. The cups are 1 size too small, but because this shape is so open on top, I can make it work.
No wonder it didn't fit the original buyer.
Straps are half-adjustable, but very short. I am only 5'3" and have them as long as they go. Any taller and I'd be out of luck.
3 hooks. Comfortable.
Super pretty. Great shape for full-on-top boobs. Nice support and lift. Not as lumpy under clothing as one might fear given the lace.
Seems beautifully put together with quality materials.
Update 12/2018: Lost weight/trying on stash and found this one. In my current UK size of 32H/HHish, it's clearly too small in all directions.

Very sexy bra. Band is very stretchy but it was used when I got it.

Very beautiful beige bra. Has the thick seams EM CHP bras always have so can look a little strange under thin fabric.

I keep thinking plunge styles will work for me, but sadly, they don't! The band feels nice and tight, and I was surprised that the straps weren't too wide on me. Unfortunately, the cup size is too big, so I can't really wear this one.

This is my all-time favourite bra. The CHP cut is a perfect fit for my incredibly projected, even-to-FOT (3/5) chest. The wires are soft and comfortable, the depth is incredible and the gore soft tacks (the closest I'll get in Polish bras). I've been wearing this bra since Christmas and aside from the initial breaking in of the band I'm still on the 2nd hooks. Well worth the money, have since bought 2 more CHPs for my collection! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is my first time trying the Ewa Michalak PL style. It has everything I like in the S style - soft, cotton-lined cups with light padding for structure, and a perky, front-and-center shape. Like all Ewa's I've seen, this one's gorgeous - black with a gold-embroidered lace overlay. This one is sooooo comfortable that, even though it doesn't suuuper fit, I want to wear it all the time.

Plunge styles are always weird for me because I'm center-full and soft, so I tend to slide in toward the middle and fall out. I tend to feel fairly secure in this one, but it's still a bit of a problem, I suspect largely because it's a size too big. The cups are too wide and I feel like I warp them oddly; they end up folding around the top in a way that's kind of gappy. Holding the straps together in back as if criss-crossed gives me a better shape, but the straps are not convertible and there's no J-hook. A clip may help.

I ordered this because my correct size, 65H, is special order and I thought the sister size, not special order, might work instead. I was pleasantly surprised that the straps were narrower set than my 65H SM. The band was a bit big, as expected, but the cups were also a bit big, which was odd. I liked the narrower wires than the 65H, but it seemed like there was a bit less immediate projection. My centre fullness had the same issues with the bottom of the cup that I have in the 65H, but this is worse.

Otherwise, quality, shape, and fit are all standard and lovely!

The lace was very soft and pretty, and there's a cute little purple bow between the cups. The band did run small; I need a 65 in Ewa Michalak's padded bras as far as I can tell, and this one fits beautifully in a 70. I do need one cup size larger, though, as I get enough quadding to show under shirts. Were it not for the quadding, this bra does a remarkable job of disappearing under shirts. It seems like the apex is a little low, but so is the apex of my actual breast, so I'm not sure if this is because ... it allows my shape to show through more clearly, because I need to go a size up, or because of the actual shape of the bra. Either way, it provides a very natural look that I think will be even better when I can buy the correct size. The profile is also very minimized from the front as the bra keeps the breasts on the front of the body rather than splayed to the sides. All in all, it's a beautiful bra that I look forward to wearing in the correct size.

I went up a band size after reading reviews that said Ewa Michalak bands run tight, but this one seems pretty true to size; I should have gone with my gut and gotten the 65. The band is stretchy and comfortable and stays put as long as I keep it on the tightest hook. I'm confident that in the 65, it would behave the same way on the loosest one. The cups have a tiiiiiiiiny bit of quadding without the asymmetry pads, so I obviously can't wear this bra with the pads, but it doesn't show under shirts, and considering it's the best-fitting bra I ... own right now, I think I'll live with that until I can receive a 65HH in the mail. This bra sits beautifully in my IMF, and it accommodates inner fullness better than the Comexim 3HC. It's also narrower than Comexim's 3HC, with underwires that are U-shaped rather than spread out to the sides. I could probably go for a narrower wire, but this one is plenty comfortable as it is, so I'm not too bothered about it. The bra is a lovely shade of light pink that I think will complement most skin tones, and the seams and lace didn't show up under the clingiest, stretchiest shirt I could find. When I put it on, my husband said, "Whoa, they look a lot more projected than usual." (Isn't he cute, picking up on bra lingo lol), but when I put a shirt on, they looked very rounded, and while they weren't minimised, I think once you get to a certain size, there's no escaping the fact that you have large breasts. The bra does hold them on the front of my body instead of the sides, which is exactly what I wanted. All in all, I will definitely be ordering another one in the correct size.

This bra provides me with a mixed bag of fit issues. Firstly, the gore hard tacks, which is very rare in a Polish bra for me. Yay! The wire width is great and the bra is projected enough to stay in my IMF. However I'm getting some gaping with the lace, enough to be noticeable but maybe not *quite* enough to size down. The straps are also very wide, even wider than my S cut bras, to the point of being uncomfortable. The materials are decent but the lace is fairly thick, so I probably wouldn't wear this bra to work, or anywhere else where I don't want it on display.

Amazing bra, I love wearing it with the straps underneath scoop necks! For me, I feel this is one cup size too small - the gore doesn't tack (1cm off my chest) and the wires are the slightest bit too narrow, but not quite orange-in-a-glass - my breasts fill the cups perfectly. Tiniest bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. Perfect band! Nice forward projected look but not overly pointy, keeps my boobs under control nicely!

So this is a bit hilarious to me because I neeeeever eeeeeever need 30 bands, and yet here we are. I have to say, I'm a bit perplexed. The 65GG (because I also need to go down at least 1, possibly 2 cups)'s measurements _look_ too small, but this was so comically loose...

I'm in contact with Jaimie now to get advice about the fit. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Too pointy for my liking. I'm not fond of unlined bras in the first place, but I'm trying to figure out EM styles. Very pretty! Rather rough fabric and lace, though and it makes it very itchy. I don't think I'll keep it, at least not for long.

I found this bra to be quite comfortable. It has the removable pads that many Ewa Michalak bras have. I use a pad in the right cup, which is my smaller side. This style only has 3 rows of hooks (I understand that many EM bras have 4 rows). The strap measurement I took was at the widest part of the padded comfort straps. The regular straps that can be used as a criss-cross or halter style are 0.75 inches wide. I haven't taken the straps out if the plastic bag that is attached to the bra, so I cannot vouch for the ease or difficulty in attaching ... them. However, I don't see me ever wearing this as a halter style, because that's just not a flattering style of clothing on me. The comfort straps truly are comfortable. The bottom of the gore tacks nicely, however, the top sticks out a bit. I have that problem with a lot of bras though, and it doesn't seem to compromise the fit or support. I kept thinking that I might be quadding a bit on my left side, but that may be my imagination, since it was not noticeable under a tight white t-shirt. The band fits like a typical 32 band, not too tight, not too loose, and the elastic is quite comfortable. No digging in. The seams are not very prominent, which is one thing I've noticed about the several different Polish bras I have tried. Beware if you have narrow shoulders - if your bra straps tend to slip off your shoulders, this could be a problem. I have narrow shoulders, but have deep grooves from too many years of wearing ill fitting bras, so the straps settle nicely in there and don't slip. I've read some suggestions to size up a cup EM's S style, however, I feel like my usual GG was the right size for me.

Update: Once I got the 70H in a different PL style, I realized the 70GG wasn't for me. The 70H gives me no quadding. So, the 70GG is being returned with a bit of sadness, as it was a beautiful bra. Maybe some day, I will order the PL Triumf again.

This is my first Ewa Michalak bra, ordered from Zathiya Lingerie. The band size is absolutely perfect as it is comfortably snug on the loosest hook, but I have slight quad boob on the left, which is my larger boob. I have ordered a 70H in a different plunge style for comparison. I am full on top, so ... that could be the reason for the slight quadding. The bra is beautiful and well made, and I love that there are 4 sets of hooks, to help it last longer. The elastic on the band is comfortable and does not pinch or dig in. The straps have just the tiniest bit of stretch to them. There is a cute little sparkly charm attached to the bow on the gore. The gore tacks nicely. I love that there are 2 removable pads for asymmetry correction.

Here's another bra that has such gorgeous detailing that I didn't see on the stock photos on Ewa's site. Thanks to a blogger (though I can't remember which) I saw the gold stitching which gives the bra a more high class feel than a standard black plunge IMO. Being a black bra, the band feels tight, but the cups are too small. This is another one that if I sized up to a 70H I would just fill it out without the need of the pads. But I'm definitely going to be ordering the correct size since it is such a lovely bra, and I may even get the matching panties with this one!

Updated on Mar 14, 2016 Flag this

First off, this bra is SO SOFT! I can't get over the material on this bra, I just want to be running my hands all over my cups when I'm wearing it (though for the sake of not being a distraction in public, I have avoided it). I did allow my tatto artist and her receptionist a chance to feel the fabric, though, and they loved how soft it was. Not to mention this bra is super pretty as well. Just like the rest of my order, it was too small in the cup, but this one also is super stretchy and I could use to size down ... in the band as well. So when I can I will be placing an order for a 65HH in this, not looking forward to paying the extra fee for that, but I will if it means a properly fitting version. I received the matching panties as well, and they are just as soft and actually made me giddy! I haven't had an occasion to wear them yet, but I tried them on and a 36 fit me pretty well, normally I wear a S or XS panty.

The leopard print on this bra is very subtle, so much so that I didn't notice it in the stock photos on Ewa's site. It was only after reading a blog review on the bra that I saw the leopard print, but I don't mind that much. The outer fabric on this bra isn't as soft as the Colette, but the fit is a tad better. The cups are still, sadly, too small. Just a smidge, enough that I know when I get a 70H I will probably need the pads to make up some extra room. Still, due to the navy color of this, the band feels super tight which is a plus for me always. This will definitely be reordered in a cupsize up when I get the funds to do so.

The Colette is such a pretty pattern for a floral, which I normally wouldn't like. The fabric is super soft and very subtle floral without being BAM! FLOWERS! That being said, the cups in this one are the smallest in fit out of the four bras I ordered with the possible exception of my PL Zlote Ono. When I can afford to, I will definitely be buying this in a cupsize up because it is too cute to pass up.
