I received this gorgeous bra from Marilynne , who was very communicative and patient. It arrived with the matching panties (size 36) for the whole set at a great deal, and in excellent condition.
This is my first SMN bra from Ewa as I figure out my size from her place. I really like this bra, it’s very sexy but also cute, with the quasi-tuxedo-strappy (idk what to call it) theme. The SMN is similar in fit to the SF, S, and BM cuts- a balconette shape with a higher gore and longer wires. I found this to fit me great at a 65FF, albeit ... the band a little too loose (grrrr…ewa, cmon man). I did not need to size down in cups in EM unpadded cuts such as this, and my true EM size is a 60G/GG depending on my cycle.
Both the bra and panties are see-through, hence the lack of pictures of me actually wearing the set. The translucence is from a beige, stabilized mesh/tulle material that comprises most of the bra. This stuff isn’t irritating to the skin, yet still TOUGH! I wouldn’t doubt it’s structural integrity holding up heavier breasts than mine. This is also the same material Ewa uses for her models with “peek a boo” gores with a translucent mesh window (such as my sf Motyl and PL Antonina)
On the center gore there are three black buttons and a red bow, and strappy motifs where the seams would otherwise go. These black stripes are made of a satin-esque material and are very soft, much like the material Ewa uses for her SF bras. Be warned tho: these lines are very, very visible under clothing, as even when wearing a hoodie you can sorta see the outline of the design. It doesn’t bother me, but it’s a matter of personal preference and something one should note before purchasing. The decorative straps near the cleavage area are non-removable just like the ones on the panties.
For the panties, the three buttons and bright red bow are also there, along with the non-removable, sexy strappy elements at the waist. Again the buttons are noticeable under thinner materials and it does look weird to have three small bumps on your crotch lol. These straps don’t add to the support of the bra nor diminish it, and are made of the same material the straps in the Cappucckinka and Bibi models.
For the sizing I’d say the band runs true to size in accordance with this brand, it is a very tight “30” band- although I would not advise anyone wearing a UK 30 to purchase their regular size. This is more of a 28 than a 30. For the panties, however, they are much smaller than my other 36 briefs, and therefore fit perfectly as Ewa Michalak panties are usually a little too small for my 34” hips. I also wanted to note that although the rest of the panties were made of that soft tulle material, the lining at the crotch is made of cotton. Give your bits some breathing space and natural fibres, thank you very much!
Overall, I adore this set so much- it brings me much joy to have cute matching lingerie sets that are gonna last a long time. Ewa’s high quality and workmanship cannot compare.
Basically: this set is see-through but the material is stronger than you think. keep in mind the satin ribbon reinforced seams at the cups will most likely be visible under clothing. I did not have to change sizes between padded and unpadded cuts but that is just my body. Size up 1 size in band (e.g if you wear a 32 band (70 EU), try a 75 band.
