I was trying to space my reviews out but I failed. I just love this bra so much I thought I was going to burst if I didn't share it. Unfortunately for me, the band runs a size tight and I need two hooks on an extender to wear it. I know you aren't supposed to wear extenders when you post pictures here but I can't even fasten it without them. The pink strap bows have been swapped for white ones and those two things are pretty much the only negatives I have to say about this bra. Very bridal-vibey-I think it's all the pastel pink and white. ... The thong is also a winner. It's got a very wide band and looks very comfortable. The cups on this bra are narrow and deep and fit me perfectly. I wish the band ran true to size as that's the only flaw I can find in this bra and wearing an extender pushes the strap width to the limits of my comfort. It's absolutely lovely and I can't wait to wear it. As always, full review on my blog.

Yay! Received this bra today from a fellow bratabase user, and it's great!

In terms of fit it's very similar to my sm Czarna Mgielka, with a few little differences.

The band is looser, probably due to the lighter color. I can wear it on the second or third row of hooks already. The cups seem a little shorter than the black version, especially in the lower 2 parts. The horizontal seam does not come up as high, and the lace edge at the top is a little wider.

The fit is however still perfect. This style seems made for me!

The look of the bra is very sweet and lovely. ... The pink details are a very soft baby pink color, usually not my thing, but it's very subtle and it works because the rest of the bra is transparent rather than a stark white. The white seams and band create a nice contrast with the skin tone of cups and the pink details.

The centre gore bow is much smaller than the one on the Czarna Mgielka. Although I love the oversized bow in black, I probably would have found a giant pink bow on this bra too much so I'm ok with it.

I ordered SM Wanilia to make sure the size would work for me and it was super discounted during the Black Friday sale.
Upon putting it on the first time, I was really, really disappointed. My smaller side was gaping hardcore and the larger side was gaping some as well, and that's after some serious scoop and swoop. At the same time, somehow, the larger side was also quadding. It looked pretty hilarious.

So I wanted to take pictures for the review (for the hilarity of it) and I noticed something... Turns out, it was the straps (which I loosened all the way out of habit). After playing with them ... for a bit, I got the bra to fit near perfectly.

I like see through bras cause they show exactly how bra is sitting on the breast (or how the breast is sitting in the bra?) I think this one showcases that pretty well. The wire is almost near perfect in my imf, and I see some compression (the wrinkly skin).

Beside that, SM Wanilia is beautiful. I was pretty surprised to not find a single one on Bratabase... after all, not everyone absolutely hates white bras like I do.

The bra has three part cups, made of non-stretch mesh. The top of the cups is lined with beautiful white and pink floral lace.
This bra is a little more shallow at the wire than my BMs but somehow it is not a problem at all. The cups aren't sliding down, the wire doesn't move.
The band is snug, but I suspect it might be because of the shallow cups.
The bra doesn't feel small, it is actually quite comfortable and doesn't make me feel like I'm squeezing myself into it.

The gore tacks perfectly. The little pink polka dotted bow is so cute!

The shape I get (esp under a shirt) is pretty satisfactory! It looks very natural I think.

I think this would be a good bridal bra! Is that a thing? It's very delicate. I'd say a hidden gem among EM's bras.

Purchased this set from Bra Obsessed, and as such it was a bit more expensive than buying direct from EM, but after seeing some previous reviews I couldn’t resist trying it! After receiving it, I can truly say that I think the quality, fit and design were more than well worth the price! Jaimie was also beyond kind and helpful, so I had a great experience in that regard, too.

What I love about this bra is that it manages to be both demure and sexy; on my cool-toned pale skin, the white tulle somewhat disappears, giving a lovely effect and functioning almost as a nude. The pale ... powder-pink lace and accents on the gore, straps and band are feminine and somehow fairy-esque or princess-y by association! At least, that’s the image it evokes inexplicably to me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I could see this being an especially beautiful bridal or special occasion set, but as for me it will be going right into the regular rotation! Always fun to have a unexpectedly pretty bra beneath normal casual clothes, I think.

The SM cut fits somewhat lower-coverage and provides gentle cleavage; my boobs fill the cups perfectly and take on a rounded but natural shape from the side. This bra seems to run a little larger/more projected than my Czarna Mgielka in a size up... or, maybe, the reverse is true of the Czarna! The left cup is just a hint small on my larger side, though not enough to cause any quadding or cutting in, and I generally find that my asymmetry is such that I usually have to pick between slightly snug or slightly too big, anyway. The 65G I tried was too large all over, so I’ll be listing that in the near future, should anyone want it before I send it back to Canada!

The matching thong has really pretty details, too: a small diamond of sheer mesh in the front, a slightly higher-rise back framed with pink lace, and a little satin ribbon bow. Overall, some gorgeous pieces that I’m really happy with… further solidifying my Polish obsession!

I love this bra! The wires are narrow, and due to the sheerness of the cup I can see that they fit perfectly in my IMF. I like the design of the bra, and find it sexy and sweet all at once (although I know it looks goofy with the nipple covers in the photo--if anyone wants to wear unlined bras but doesn't want their nipples to show, I would HIGHLY recommend these silicone covers!). The seams lay very flat, and are almost invisible under clothes--less so than any other seamed bra I've worn. Although the bra looks light and airy, it offers firm support and a great, ... uplifted, round shape. The SM cut is definitely my favorite so far in my recent round of bra exploration, and I can't wait to try more https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. The cups fit, but I fear that if my breasts grow even the slightest bit they will be too small. They are fairly open on top, so hopefully this will accommodate some size fluctuation. The band is very tight on me, and is the first 60/28 band that I've needed to wear an extender with--I need about 3 extra rows of hooks. My only gripe is the wide-set straps, but I'm willing to deal with them.

SM Wanilia is an unlined sheer white bra, with pink flower accents and a pink n white polka dot gore bow. The cup construction in this size (60L) has 3 lower sections with 2 vertical seams, an upper section above the horizontal seam, plus an outer wedge section that connects the strap to the cup. The lower cup range will have only 2 lower sections and a single vertical seam instead of 2. The band is an opaque white power mesh without lace. As with all SM style bras, the cups have no stretch to them, and not a lot of give. This provides firm support but is ... not very forgiving to size or hormone fluctuations, nor is it flexible if you are between sizes. If you need more flexibility with fit and sizing, you are better off going with Ewa’s BM or SF styles instead which both have stretch lace on the top half of the cups.

I ordered this from the wonderful MagdaBras4you. I love my sheer SM Czarna Mgielka, sexy yet supportive and a wonderful fit, so I took a chance on this one even though I am not fond of pink. The fit is very similar to the Czarna Mgielka though not identical, but I am still happy with the fit. The cups themselves are smooth (aside from the top of the lace trim) without any gaping or wrinkling except at the bottom of the wire which isn’t terrible. If that top lace was smooth, I’d get quadding so I am okay with this frill not being smooth against the skin. Clearly the armpit curve is too straight and does meet armpit resistance, but it’s not terrible and lowering this curve is an easy alteration for me. The gore is 1.75 fingers off my sternum but if it tacked the cups would be too small, so I’m good with this as it’s comfortable. The band is nice and comfy on the tightest hook set, and far more supportive since the band is firmer than the recent “runs big” trend. Overall I am happy with it!

For the technical aspects:

All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 22” and stretches to a max of 27.25”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 13.125”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 15.125”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.

This bra fits true to size, and so far is an all around good fit for me. I can't quite fill the top of the cup on my smaller side, but that doesn't bother me much. I also have a lot of strap gap, but again, that doesn't bother me.

This is my second Wanilla. I recently discovered that every time I wore my 65FF, I was falling out at the center and had to continually reverse S&S as the day went on. Luckily Bra Obsessed still had a 65G in stock for me to try!

Overall I think the decision to size up was definitely the best choice. There seems to be a couple grading differences between the FF and G cups: the wings are noticeably taller and the straps are much thicker, with the result that I'm more conscious of how wide-set they are; they're not overly irritating to my armpits, however. My left/bigger breast fills the cup perfectly, and I have a minimal amount of lace gaping on my right/smaller side. I feel more contained and have much greater room for bottom and center projection in this size. The shape is naturally rounded rather than super orb-like. Design wise Wanilla continues to be very very much to my taste... I absolutely love its feminine and ethereal look so much https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
