Fits like a charm (I am usually a 32HH in UK sizing - Panache, Cleo, etc.). Love the lift and forward projection. The band is somewhat lose though. Hope it doesn't stretch much more.

A lovely black lace version of the Sm-style, but clearly loose in the band compared to my other Sms. Also, but this could of course be that I got a slightly mis-sewn bra, the wires come unusually high under my arms. Combined with the loose band it makes this bra somewhat uncomfortable to wear. The lace is opulent and thick but somewhat scratchier than what EM usually uses in her bras. Verdict: very pretty but not quite comfortable to wear.

This is an everyday version of Ewa Michalak's soft cup Sm-style and in my opinion the Golden Standard for the cut. It is true to size and because it's made of excellent sturdy material, so it's a very good comparison for other versions of this style. The lace in the cups is totally non-stretchy but still very soft against the skin. The band is typically tight for a 70/32 band as EM's bras go. The colour is great, a neutral, slightly tan beige which does not show from under light shirts.

This is my second S multiway bra. It's a seriously sturdy affair, even for an EM bra, there's hardly any give in the band. This bra shows the best of the S-Style cut, giving a lovely, rounded and centered, smooth shape. The appearance is rather everyday-nice, the fabric and the lace soft.

I have three S multiway bras and for some reason, the S Diament is abysmal compared to the other two. It looks good, but it shifts around all the time as the material is rather slinky. The band has loosened with very little wear so it's more like a 75 and the cups don't seem to hold their shape, they sag downward. Also, the straps feel strangely hard, not at all like my other EM bras. A shame, as a good basic black bra is always to have.

The Guzik is very lovely in appearance, but it suffers from its flimsy, barely-there fabric. Don't get me wrong, the bra is quite sturdy and great quality, but the fabric seems to stretch quite fast, especially if it's worn a lot (like mine is). It's true to size as Sm-style goes, but the very big minus I have to give this bra, one it shares with the Nana Bezowa, is that after some 8 hours of wear, the band starts to give little, making the wires shift and dig in under my breasts and armpits. Otherwise I truly like this bra, as it's so comfortable during summer months.

A typical EM Sm-style bra, similar in fit and quality ti Sm Trefl. Lovely colour scheme and lace. Comfortable and supportive as usual for this style.

I really like these riotously summery prints Ewa comes up with. I'm normally not a big fan of turquoise, but unexpectedly, it works with my skin tone - at least in a lively print like this.

As to the general statistics, this is a very typical Effuniak S-style, great shape, excellent support and very comfortable. The band is a bit on the tight side and definitely sturdy (no stretching and I've had this for a year in regular use). Also, a true 32/70 J in size.

I'm a bit disappointed with the "2nd generation BMs", with which I mean this and the BM Aqua. Both are absolutely lovely in appearance and comfortable to wear every day, but they both give me a slightly drooping profile after half a day's wear - a problem I don't have with BM Bibi, which seems to be smaller in the cup. This is, however, a good everyday bra, the colour functions well under white shirts (almost nude) and the band stays tight all day long. It's just the cups doing that weird stretching...

This is my new all-time favorite bra cut. Everything about it is outstanding. The band fits great, the wires are the perfect width and height, the cup depth is perfect, and get this -- even the straps are in an acceptably comfortable spot. Plus, there's enough uplift to make my saggy, FoB boobs look pretty freakin' amazing. The addition of the pad inserts (which I am wearing in the pictures) just give me a little extra oomph when I want it. The cups still fit great without the pads.

The Karmelki color is an interesting change from the normal beige/nude colors out there. I have a medium/neutral-pink skin ... tone, so some nudes that are too pale or yellow look horrible against my skin (and show under light clothing.) This particular color seems to work well under clothing for me, even though it is slightly darker than my skin. Darker works better than lighter for me, I've found. For example, 75JJ - Ewa Michalak » Pl Satine, was a fail as a nude bra for me, even though it is gorgeous.

I don't really have much else to say besides the fact that I'm in love with the S cut! I did not feel this passionate about it when I was a larger size. I used to have 70JJ - Ewa Michalak » S Porcelanka and 75J - Ewa Michalak » S Fiołek , which were both on the verge of being too small for me at the time. I began wearing the PL cut in size 75JJ shortly after, so now I'm 2 band/cup sizes smaller than before. The cup construction is slightly different in the larger cup sizes (70JJ+/sister sizes is where it starts, I suspect.) The cups are made with 4 part in that size range, whereas in this one and my 65JJ - Ewa Michalak » S Pieprzyk (473) the cups are made of only 3 parts. The 4 part construction actually makes the cup shape more round, which I kind of missed in this size. In the larger sizes, I had more fit issues (wires too high under my arms, straps too far apart, cups too far apart.) However, all of these issues were barely to non-existant in my new size, thankfully! I will definitely be getting more S bras when the new designs are released.

This bra is quite a schizophrenic case . https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Nothing wrong with the colour scheme, it's nicely summery, and I do like the Bm style in general, it fits my breasts perfectly. But as I have the Bm Bibi to compare with, there's again that notorious Effuniak inconsistency in size - and this time in shape as well. The cup is somehow longer, which means that although it fits perfectly on the top part, bottom part and sides, there's empty space at the tip of the cup. Not much, but noticeably. I have arrived to the conclusion, however, that the size ... is right, so maybe I just got a monday specimen. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Pros:
- the Aqua is _seriously_ sturdy, must be the sturdiest EM I have. The stretch in the band is minimal - and it's tight
- Nice, fresh colour scheme
- Soft material, especially the lace on top of the cups. As a top-full boob gal, I appreciate it.
- Because of the sturdiness, the Bm profile shape gets the center stage. I really like it, it's very much like Cleo Meg shape.

Cons:
- big in the cup, compared to Bm Bibi
- The cup shape it longer (or is it deeper?) than in the Bibi

I really wish this bra had fit, but I purchased wildly the wrong size. This was my first attempt at an EM bra - the band is true to UK sizing, and rather stretchy. The cups are nicely shaped and padded.

EU cup sizes seem to run closer to US than UK sizing, so I foolishly ordered a J cup. In reality, I probably needed a GG-H, which is what I take in UK brands.

Simple but beautiful bra - it's hard to give a good review of actual support, since the cups were much too big for me, and really, a 65 (30 - my usual size) band would have been better.

I would guess that it probably runs true to size in the back, and I'm guessing either true to size in the cup, or one cup size small.

So this is the first bra that I can say fits really good! The center gore doesn't tack but I have close set boobs so I might never have a gore that tacks and if I were to size up i might get a better fit but the cups might end up too big :/ I get an AMAZING shape and lift with this. I have soft breasts so I'm quite happy that the lace isn't as stretchy as the Andorra. The wires sit perfectly on my infra mammary fold. I forgot to mention that this was a bra from another Bratabase user. The band is very comfortable on me. It's not too big. I do get a bit of gaping at the top of the cup by the straps but it's not noticeable under clothes and I don't think it affects my fit much. All in all I'm very happy with my first Ewa bra and can't wait to try out more bras from her in the future!

Ewa Michalak's bras tend to lean towards "sexy" in their design, but this one crosses headlong over to "oh-you-naughty-girl!". Don't get me wrong, it's naughty in a stylish, empowering way - this bra makes me feel like a burlesque superstar. (And the briefs aren't bad either...) Also it's a great example that a bra targeted to big-busted women doesn't have to look like a slightly modified sports bra. The Nana is positively wispy in appearance, but gives a very good support and shape.
Pros:
- ethereal
- Hot, hot, hot design! Reserve this to your bedroom conquest moments (or well, use it if you just want to feel very femininely strong)
- great shape (all the SMs work for me)
- good support

Cons:
- band is very tight. This is actually not a minus IMO, but beware when buying

I have a love affair with this bra. Okay, it's a non-padded, non-plunge black lace number, so why the love? The world is full of black lace bras. Well, first of all, the lace is sneakily super stylish. It's modern, contemporary, not the usual grandma's-roses-thing. The Trefl looks sharp. Added to the perfect shape it gives and the relatively low center gore, this bra is sophisticated sexy times ten. Understated but boy it still packs a punch!
Pros:
- read above

Cons:
- haven't found any, unless you count that the band runs really tight and is sturdy => no stretching

Updated on Jan 20, 2014 Flag this

Certainly the most brilliant bra design that came out in 2013 (Eveden designers, take note!!). Ewa definitely hit the style bullseye with this one.
Pros:
- the look of this bra is pure WOW!!
- bandsize runs true
- excellent lift, good support

Cons:
- feels scratchy around the edge of the cup
- the seams over the underwires are unusually thick => uncomfortable if you need to bend over for longer times
- runs big in the cup
- as with all CHPs, the style is wide => if you have a narrow frame, this might not work for you

I got this bra second hand from another bratabaser who had worn it a few times. I already owned a Bezyk in a different size (too large), and if you're interested, you can see my review of that bra. 65L - Ewa Michalak » Sm Beżyk

Firstly, a few basic facts about the construction in this size. The bra has fully adjustable straps, with a raised pattern on the strap which helps to make it more stable and hold the adjustment slide in place. The cup in this size is made from 2 vertical sections with another horizontally attached to the top, and a triangle of ... fabric joining the top section and the straps. It fastens with 3 rows of 4 columns of hooks.

My view on the appearance of the bra is just the same as when I got my first one. I love it! The pale apricot beige acts as a nude bra on my fair skin, and I really like the sheer, single layer lace cups. The lace will show up under a thin shirt, but isn't noticeable under light coloured clothing which is a little thicker.

Regarding the fit; the band of the bra is a bit too long on me, and seems to walk around on my back a bit with wear, even on the firmest hook. However, my preference is for a snug 28 band (or I may wear some 26 bands if they were more readily available), so this isn't a tremendous surprise to me. Because the band is super stretchy, I do feel like you could get comfortable support in the bra even if not stretched to its maximum length. The cups are a little too small for me in terms of depth; the lace cuts in a bit and creates an unusual shape, and I have a bit of cutting in on the top. Possibly one cup size up would be better, but it seems like this style is discontinued, and I know that Ewa Michalak is not known for consistency between styles, so I'm not sure if that would be my best size in all SM cuts. I still have a bit of empty space at the top of the cup, because my root isn't tall enough to fill the entire height. The straps are too far apart for me, and the bra actually performs noticeably better if I hold the straps further out (on my arms) at shoulder height. I also have my normal band construction problem with EM bras, in that there are huge loose sections at the top of the band between the cup and the straps at the rear. Very simply, 3 hooks isn't enough to hold the band even with such an open, deep cup on my ribcage. This does mean I seem to have zero wire spring, and the wires will move away from my body. However, it's the first bra I've tried in a long time where the wire width is spot on! I'm not sure if this is because there's no tension on the top of the cup or not, but it is quite pleasant.

Overall, this bra is wearable for me, and would probably be a bit more wearable if I shortened the band. I'd prefer a fit which is a bit more supportive, but this is what I expected from the bra based on my experience with other EM models- good wire width, okay cup depth, straps set too far apart, and utterly incompatible band construction.

The S Satine is a padded bra with correction pads for asymmetry. It's a creamy nude colour with a lace covering, and very smooth on the top of the cup, you can use it as a t-shirt bra. It has the typical S-style cut, but as is typical to EM bras, there are some size inconsistencies. Compared to my first attempt with a 70HH, here's some of my observations:
- the band is looser in 70J. Not much but noticiably.
- The cups are not significantly bigger in 70J. It fits me without the correction pads, barely.

Pros:
-Nice colour, very understated and nude, disappears under light shirts
- Great shape (if you like the S-style)
- Band tightness level regular (as opposed to 70HH, which was very tight)
- asymmetry correction pads
- very comfortable and supportive

Cons:
- small in the cup => take into consideration when buying

I bought this bra from someone else. It looks like the chp milady but she told me that this bra was made specifically for a photoshoot and was not mass produced by Ewa. She also told me it was a brighter red than the milady. It is a gorgeous bright red with black lace overlay. It has a pretty black satin bow in the middle with a black stone centerpiece. Unfortunately this bra is 1-2 cups sizes too large for me so I cannot really give a good review. I would say it looks just like the milady but maybe a brighter red.

This bra and my boobs are a match made in heaven! I got this bra from a fellow bratabaser, expecting it to be a sistersize (from what I've read about Ewa bands running tight, I thought I may need a 75HH or 70H, but wanted to try this with an extender just to ensure the cup size was correct)

It ended up being a perfect fit, as though it was custom made for me. The wires are narrow enough, the cups have enough projection, and the straps aren't set too wide. The bra is also gorgeous to look at - I love the little bit of bling on the center gore, and it gives an amazing round shape - something I didn't expect from an unpadded bra! I'll definitely be ordering more Ewa's in the near future https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
