The S shape of Ewa Michalak bras is just not flattering for my breast shape. I have extremely projected, short & high roots. Because of my high roots, the wires dig into my armpits. That's so unfortunate. The top of the cup is just kinda sticking up on its own. It looks a bit awkward under a tshirt. This did help me find a good size range for myself, though. The 95 band is nice & I could see being able to wear it regularly. To be frank, a bra with this style would probably turn into a swamp. It's just too much fabric for a hot climate.
Oh no, if you have short roots I don't know if the FB style will work for you? IDK, I would check the measurements. I just assume the cups are taller on FB? IDK. Are you working with an online bra fitter at Levana bratique?
Of course, there is always custom bra makers but I would exhaust off the rack options first, obvi. : ) but not cheap by any means, unfortunately.
BraOdyssey I'll have to look into the height on the FB models. I think the wing height is going to be more of an issue, if I had to guess. Seems to be a bigger issue since my roots are so high up. I'll keep working on it, though. I have a lot more measurements to upload for bras that def don't fit, but I want to get those measurements up before I return them, so if you're following along, just know ahead of time that they won't fit. I did find (spoiler) a bra that fits well enough that I'm keeping it to hold me over til I can figure out if I can custom order from EW in my actual size, or if I have to look into other options. The one I found is a 100GG in EW's SF style, but I think I really need a 95J SF. I also need to try at least one BM, since I heard they have better immediate projection. I checked out that RunningOutOfLetters subreddit briefly, but got a bit intimidated. I don't think I have quite that much tissue, but I'll check it out again. I'm hoping to not have to go the custom route. At that point, I might as well learn how to make one myself. Thanks for following along, it makes me feel less alone! ♥
No worries, I follow the brand "Ewa Michalak" and so when you write a review and tag "Ewa Michalak" it shows up in my feed. Lol.
In my experience, Ewa Michalak BM does have lots of immediate projection; I do like that style, but we could be different shapes, who knows. Bras are so complex!
Good quality fabric and construction. The band is a lot tighter than Cacique bras in similar sizes, so maybe go up in band size or get an extender if you're used to lower-end bras. The three hook band was a surprise - I'm used to more hooks and a taller band in my size. Nice decorative touches. Wires are fairly narrow and short, which is good for me - no armpit poking. I like the removable pads. Good for evening things out if needed.
I was very pleased with the quality of the bra, this being my first Ewa bra, I wasn't sure about the fit, so I ordered my usual size uk 40hh.
Its definitely has slightly bigger cups, and the band size is also pretty big in this particular style. I was sure it was going to fit as I'd hear that the bands with these bras are a tighter fit but this wasn't the case with this particular bra.
It was comfortable and definitely incased my breasts comfortably but i found it only fit my bigger boob (yes I have uneven boobs, like most women https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" .../>) so I'm actually going to message ewa next time to get a custom one made to the size of each breast. Thats a big plus with this brand, being able to have any cup size made- except that its non refundable, but that really isn't an issue as it'll be custom made to me. The padding I found was a little lumpy, but this is probably because the bra was slightly too big for me.
It only took 3 weeks to reach me here in Australia (was made to order) and was very pleased with the communication and time it took. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This plunged style wasn't exactly very plunged, and didn't suit my boobs as they are quite bottom heavy. Read more 125 more words

there's a reddit forum called running out of letters that is focused on people with larger cup sizes finding ABTFs. https://www.reddit.com/r/RunningOutOfLetters/
