I've admired Malinka from afar for the longest time, so when I came across a used one for a great price in a cup size too big, I thought I'd try my hand at an alteration experiment! I used All's Fair in Love in Lingerie's guide to making a bra smaller (here: http://allsfairinloveandlingerie.com/?p=38) in order to take in the cups to fit approximately as a 65FF. The alteration was pretty successful and maintained the shape of the cups well, although whereas this bra originally had too much projection for me, it now has just not *quite* enough as a result of decreasing the overall cup volume ... and coverage. That's okay though, the bra still fits much better by comparison and I absolutely love the SM cut... I find it to be super practical beneath a wide variety of clothing even if the shape it gives is more natural than super round.

Expectedly for a used bra, the band is not super firm, but is still wearable and very comfortable... the fabric it's made out of is softer than any of my other SMs, almost a jersey knit texture. The creme-colored floral embroidery is amazingly detailed and creates a pretty scalloped effect at the neckline, and as always I love the satiny bows EM uses on the straps and center gore.

One of my favorites! The band material is absolute perfection and not scratchy at all, which has been an issue with EM lace bras. The only notable minor issue is that when my boobs are swollen, the embroidery tends to flatten them just a tiny bit.

Otherwise, the bra is gorgeous and one that I hope to have around for a very, very long time.

I thought this bra was absolutely lovely out of the box. The color and embroidery on the cups are incredible. Unfortunately my enthusiasm lessened once I put it on. The cups are roomier than the S-style bras I have in the same size, so I have quite a bit of loose fabric at the top of the cups. I am very full on bottom though, so I may just lack the breast tissue to fill it out. The bra supports well but doesn’t quite give the lift and projection that the other styles do. It holds my breasts closer to my chest. I found the wires to be too tall in the armpit and too short in the gore, so it’s a bit stabby in both areas. This is the only bra I couldn’t wait to take off at the end of the day. So sad, but it looks like the SM style just isn’t for me.
