My bra fairy sent me a big package of Ewa's BM and SM bras; most were new or in like-new condition. She threw in this one as a freebie. It's seen more wear than the others, and I will probably not add measurements for it since it's been stretched out a bit, but I still wanted to review it.
MY SHAPE: Narrow, projected, short roots, close set, center full, even fullness (technically FOT but my short roots make me appear even most of the time)
FIT: I'm glad I got 3 SM bras at once so I know that this bra is the problem and not that style. For some ... reason, even though I get a great fit with the 75G - Ewa Michalak » Sm Motylowate (562) and 75G - Ewa Michalak » Sm Burek (430) , this one insists on quadding on my larger side. Everything else about the fit is spectacular, but ol' lefty just tries to overflow. I tried un-scooping and swooping a bit, I tried loosening the strap until it almost falls off, but I just can't get it to work. At first I thought it wasn't a problem, because it really doesn't look that bad without a shirt on, but with a shirt it's lumpy and painfully obvious. It's really a shame, this is quite a nice bra otherwise. The band feels great, although a bit loose since it's been broken in already. The straps are fine, not too wide set. The cup material is soft and not itchy. The lace is not stretchy.
It's maddening for me that it doesn't fit - once I found my "true" bra size and discovered Polish lingerie, I've had extraordinarily good luck with buying new bras, and almost everything has fit. On paper, this should fit - other SM bras in the same size are perfection - but no matter what I adjust this one keeps quadding on the left. Infuriating. I guess everyone gets some clunkers occasionally, right?
APPEARANCE/QUALITY: The red is a really nice true red, it doesn't read as pink as some bras do. The band is made of a very soft material, and overall this is a very pretty and well-made bra. I feel like this goes without saying if you've seen pictures or read Ewa's description, but the cups are 100% sheer and transparent. If my nipples didn't line up exactly with the seam junction, you would see every detail.
OVERALL: It's quite pretty and sexy, so even though the fit isn't perfect I'll probably hold onto it for special occasions. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
UPDATE: I managed to fit into this one day last week without quadding and wore it under a t-shirt, and it gave the most unflattering shape I've ever seen in an Ewa Michalak bra. I assume it was because of how much I had to loosen the straps, everything just looked much lower and downward-pointing than normal with this flatness at the apex... not a great look. I'll definitely be passing this one on.
