What did you learn from this bra?
This is my first Ewa Michalak bra and first Polish bra. The fit is REALLY GOOD for a first attempt. I need to go up a cup size in this style, I'm getting a bit of quad boob on my larger side.
What's good about this bra?
The underwires fit my roots so much better than my Fantastie Illusion bras. The sheer lace is really sexy. The lift and projection is incredible. I feel very 'strapped in', in a good way.
Does it poke, comfortable?
The straps are a little wide for me (a common issue). I should go up a cup size in this style. The lace / mesh is a little itchy - but I am also extremely sensitive with bra fabric.
Did it stretch out?
I have it fitted on the tightest hook because it is used; the band fit is pretty good. Need to experiment with band sizes. 80 new might be great, 75 might be better. So next attempt try an 80K or 75JJ.

Sister sized to 75K knowing I needed a 70KK or so. Finally realized why so many people say this brand runs tight in the band (that was rarely my experience in their sub-75 bands). Initially, the band fit like a 70KK on the tightest setting, but within 2 weeks of wear, I needed to shorten the band.
Not projected enough for me at the bottom of the cup, which I knew would be the case. This means that the band rarely stays where I put it. Partially due to this, I may need a 70L/75KK, which doesn't exist for this bra. I don't even think Ewa would make it for me custom.

Beautiful but not the right size for me. A waste of money having to custom order it and then not being able to sell it on.

Purchased this used from Bratabase, so keep that in mind with my measurements and review.
My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots.
Fit: I am so sad! This bra, even though it's a band size smaller than what I usually wear, is stretched enough that it fits me nicely, even so much that I have to clasp it on the second to tightest hook. The straps are actually not a bother to me either! They seem to fit narrower than my other Ewa Michalak bras, which was a big surprise. No fabric digging into my armpits! But alas! The cups are not deep enough, or tall enough, to ... offer me much support. If this had stretch lace at the top, similar to BM or SF styles, I think it would fit so much better. I'm not a skilled enough seamstress to add that, however.
This isn't the first SM style I have tried; I just can't pull off the lack of stretch lace cups. The price was right for this one, however, so I gave it one more try. I think I will avoid any other SM styles in the future, as they don't seem to go well for me!
Appearance: Elegant sheer/mesh black bra with matching lace at the tops of the cups. There are two black bows at the center gore. Since this was a previously used bra, the size has been rubbed off of the label.

I bought this bra used at a great price as a pregnancy bra. I'm closer to 30FF at the moment, so this one will be for the later months. I'll come back and comment on the fit then.
It's a lot prettier in person than in the pictures. I'm more of a fun, bright colors kind of girl, and I don't usually like the "sexy" sheer aesthetic. I bought it for fit, though, not looks, and I don'tdislike it.
I marked the band as "altered" because of how old it is, but it actually still stretches to less than 30 inches, even though some if the little elastics in ... the band mesh are coming out. I don't see any significant signs of wear anywhere else, either.
Edit: At week 25 of pregnancy I'm now closing in on 30:10. I believe this bra is just going to be a shape mismatch for me. The depth and width are fine, but there is space at the top of the cups which I believe is being caused by an excess of cup height. If I pinch it shorter the space disappears, and it looks more like the balconette it's supposed to be rather than a plunge. I will try it again at a larger size and see if it ever gets better.
Edit: 33 weeks now, it never got better. Cups are definitely just too tall and too shallow at the bottom.

This size fits me much better than the last one I tried. I do feel after wearing French bras that it feels industrial putting it on. The gore makes itself known but thankfully is short enough it doesn’t sit on tissue. The cups are slightly too wide and slightly shallow, I get minor slipping through the day. It fits though. All my bras basically are slightly too wide. The cup is open enough it fits regardless of time of month.

Excellent bra that gives a nice rounded shape. Thin mesh allows it to be worn under most fabrics. The mesh is a bit uncomfortable but because it's sturdy it gives great shape and support. I have some overflow on my larger side, but not enough to go up a cup. Great for narrow rooted breasts with projection. Would repurchase again in size 60HH as the band is too big.

This bra is sooooooo sexy. So sheer. So elegant. So hot.
I typically wear a 65FF/70F in all EM styles (though in the very open top styles (eg SM Wrozka) I can fit a 65F/70E because they are designed for FOT/tall boobs and mine are quite short/FOB). It's a perfect fit if I put my shoulders back. If I slouch, the cups wrinkle just a hair at the top. This could be due to my short boobs - I struggle to fill out the tops of tall/open bras. I would say the cups are a hair bigger than my 65FF SM Ty Wiesz (which is the utmost perfect fit). ... This bra creates a fairly neutral shape - not as uplifted as the EM padded styles, not as front/center/rounded as cleo, and not as natural/pointed as unlined freya. Nice low gore too.
Unfortunately, I lost this bra in a train station (true story). I cried and am desperately looking for a replacement in 70F or 65FF. This bra was a staple in my rotation and nothing else can fill its spot.

I wish this still fit me, but oh well! It's sooo purdy. I bought this used at a low price and Hubby loved it, but it's too small now. It was used as a bedroom bra a few times for me. Most of its use was by its prior owner.
