This is such a beautiful bra. The band fits perfectly, although my size now is around 30GG. The cup height is low on me. The pads help filling the bottom of the cups.

This is a beautiful bra, but I barely wear it because it's slightly too much cleavage than I'm comfortable with. If you boobs are more wide-set or you like cleavage then it's great!!!

Doesn't quite fit as well as I'd like.

Bra fits well enough, it just provides a little too much cleavage for my taste. Barely ever worn.

This is a beautiful and well-constructed bra, but it is definitely the wrong size for me, and possibly the wrong style. Others have said that this bra runs tight in the band, but I did not find it to be so. I can stretch it to 32" easily. My underbust measures 29.5-30" comfortably snug, and this band was far too lose - I could easily fasten it on the tightest hook. I also did not find this bra to run small in the cup. I need a 30GG, bordering on 30H, and this bra was at least one cup size too big. It is a lovely bra, though, with gorgeous detailing, and I'm very disappointed it didn't fit.

I usually wear a 32G. I'd definitely say the cups run a size small.

Really lovely rounded almost hemispherical shape. Good projection even right at the bottom underwire. Super comfy.

The only tiny negatives are that the rather stiff embroidery along the top edge can stick out a little bit. Not really noticeable.

The other tiny negative is that the seams leading from the straps to the hooks and eyes along the top edge of the bra band are unfinished - there's just one zig-zag seam.

Update:

Argh, my boobs have grown by a critical half a cup, which means this bra doesn't fit anymore https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I inevitably quadboob no matter how much I pray that I wouldn't... So I guess I'll just have to list it.

I fell in love with this bra the moment I tried it on. It’s a perfect fit for me!

The band runs quite small, so if you’re between sizes as I am, you might want to size up. The cups, on the other hand, I find very true to size.

On me, the 70 is snug but not uncomfortable on the first hooks as new, ... and the centre gore lays flat on the sternum between my breasts. No spillage anywhere and I can fill the cups all around. So everything’s according to the text book!

I absolutely l o v e the shape the CHP gives me. I have fairly round breasts by nature, and the CHP complements that even further, yet without looking unnaturally round. The straps are fully adjustable (although a bit cumbersome due to the decorative pattern), which I really appreciate as my breasts sit quite high up on my chest, and as a rule I need to shorten the straps if they’re not adjustable all the way. However, they are quite stiff and hard and might be a bit uncomfortable. But that’s the only negative I can think of.

All in all, the CHP Mak feels supportive yet comfortable. Looks great, feels great – I believe I’ve found a keeper.

Edit: After wearing it for a while, I have to add two cons.

Firstly, the edges of the paddings under the hooks are very sharp and hard; they scratch my back quite bad and obviously don't add to the comfort. I actually had to add some medical tape around the edges at first in order to be able to wear the bra for a whole day. (I have the exact same problem with the HM Gold.) Therefore, I lowered the comfort to just "okay". The straps, on the other hand, aren't uncomfortable as I suspected, but have softened just enough.

Secondly, the band's decorative lace at the front curls during wear, which isn't exactly appealing. Of course, this doesn't affect fit or comfort or anything, but I lowered the bra appearance to "good".

For these reasons, I also lowered quality to "good" in stead of "excellent".

I got this one from Nsm to replace my 80FF which is too large in the band (both due to stretching and my increasing preference for tighter bands). I really could use a 70H, but because EM's are so open on top & deep, I can get away without noticeable quadraboob.
CHP is my favorite style and this color combo is beautiful. I love that it has 4 sets of hooks (all Ewa's should, considering how quickly they stretch).

NOTE: I bought this bra used, so the measurements aren't for a new bra.

According to the previous measurements, I thought this one would be a perfect fit, but apparently the band has stretched out a fair amount and is way too big on me now. It rides up at the back and does not give the proper support it's supposed to. I will have to alter it before being really able to wear it.

As I guessed, the cups are just right and the CHP is clearly the shape for me. Loving it!

The straps adjust all the way, which is always a big plus.

And of course: it is a b e a u t i f u l bra!

I have this in a 70G as well. It's otherwise fine, but too small in the cups, so I ordered a 70GG.

It’s still the same, beautiful bra, but wtf – it has a ridiculously stretchy/large band! The band was just perfect in the 70G, so this is a bit bewildering. Even on the tightest hooks it rides up in the back and pulls the straps so close together they are able to slip between my shoulder blades. All in all a very uncomfortable combination, not to mention the lack of support. Hopefully I’ll get away by just narrowing it down... a lot. Edit: Nope. I didn't.

The weird part is that it’s still just fine at the front. The centre gore sits flat against the sternum, and the cups are just perfect (even though for some reason it looks like I’m spilling out in the middle in the picture, but that’s not the case). And I just adore the CHP shape, it’s like tailor-made for me.

I purchased this bra brand new off of Ebay. See, normally I wear a 36-38 FF, but I was so excited to find this bra domestically instead of having to purchase it from Poland that I figured that an extender would help with the band. Yep the extender helped but the cups were still to bid for my soft breasts. The band does run a little large.

This bra fits a little better than some fo the other Ewa Ch styles. The band is perfect, straps and width of cups are excellent. The only problem is I'm a tiny bit too big for the cups. BUT the next size up will have gaping. So I think it's just gonna be a a bra that I sell to seomone else!

Way too big in the cup, would need two sizes down in this. Perhaps three! Band is not bad but perhaps my usual 30 (65) would be better. Not impressed with Ewa's very inaccurate sizing information about their own bras, but it is very well made. The fabric does pull a little oddly though so there are wrinkles on the fabric between the breasts. Colour would be fairly neutral beneath clothing but is otherwise quite dull.
As I said in my review of the Cappuccino I think my bottom heavy not-full-on-top breasts need a cup size down from my other-brand size in Ewa bras otherwise I don't fill out their very forward projected shape.

Good quality, beautiful appearance, very comfortable, but the wrong size on me. I think this bra runs true to size, though, I just bought the wrong size. The cups give a lot of projection. Underwires are narrow but fit well on my shape, did not rise too high in the center or under the arms. Straps were comfortable and a good width apart.

This bra felt way bigger on me than it perhaps should have been, likely because of the more open cut on the top. Either way, it was definitely too big, and it had the same comfort issues as its PL counterpart-- pretty lace detailing on the straps not feeling very pretty against my skin.

For anyone at the edge of Ewa Michalak's size range, I'd definitely recommend trying a CH or CHP style if you want to try and squeeze into something, because it definitely had more room for error than you'd find in the PLs.

Also, the band on this felt far more stretchy than the PL Ametyst-- a bit more than you'd expect from a 70 band, actually. The pictures for this had me in it at the loosest hook, but for all-day wear, I'd definitely have to go in one or two hooks to feel secure.

Too small, but it looks GORGEOUS. Quality seems excellent. Will be trying to order another in my size.

This bra is simply my favorite color ever. Just looking at it makes me smile! Unfortunately it's a bit too big for me; at least a full cup size on my smaller (32G) side, and I was able to immediately fasten it on the middle hook comfortably. I intend to fold over the extra fabric on the small side, stitch it down, and wear it anyway, once I get to my sewing machine. The cup being too big causes another problem though, that being armpit chafing from the strap (I have narrow shoulders, so most bras dig in there). The chafing isn't too bad since the straps are pretty smooth, though.

Great bra from what I can tell. This bra is a bit too big in the cups for me. The band fits firm. For reference, I'm a 32G in Panache Sienna and 32G in Curvy Kate Thrill Me. I should've ordered one cup size smaller. Comes with removable padding and three sets of straps - comfort (wider), regular, and a halterneck strap.

Update, now that I have worn this bra three more times and it is more broken in: The strap problem I had earlier has practically disappeared. I am pulling my shoulders back a bit more now that I'm in bras that actually fit, so just making that a habit may have solved it. The cups fit pretty well once I have been in them a few hours, although one side is too big slightly still. I would buy this cup size again when I am able to order the KM Onyx. I still think strap adjustment on the front of the strap would be more ideal. Changing my ... 'comfort' rating to excellent (from 'okay') to reflect my current opinion of the strap situation. I definitely would recommend this bra if it's still available in your size.

(original review follows)
Fits my larger side, and in the morning my smaller side fits better but it's really a cup size too big. The clips are easy enough to undo. The lining is great, soft and pretty. I adore the green pattern on the front. This bra is very easy to nurse in.
The straps are however incredibly uncomfortable to me; the cups being larger means they extend further under my arms and the edge rubs against my armpit every time I move my arm. At the end of the day I had red, raw welts along the crease of my armpit. I have pretty narrow shoulders so this would not be a problem for everyone. It would also be convenient if the strap of the nursing bras were adjustable from the front, since breast size changes during the day while nursing.
Basically, my only problems with this bra were my shoulders not being cooperative, for someone with wider shoulders I am sure this bra would be just about perfect.
