This bra puts everything up front with a rounded profile. I like the top edge in particular as it doesn't cut in at all for me, full on top shape but no quadboob in sight! Lovely turquoise color with lace overlay, and they've set the edge of the lace at the center in a flattering location based on cup size. (As opposed to other brands that simply scale everything up without adjusting placement, which isn't always as flattering once in a larger cup size. This one is!)
The band has been fairly firm and consistent, but now reflecting that I fit better in other Ewa 32 bands, I think I could have sized down a band to get a bit more wear out if it, as it's gently stretched over time. No problems poking under arms, but I notice that the straps feel a bit snug yet I've adjusted them to the longest length when I first got this bra. Something to consider if you find yourself needing very long straps.

I cannot really help you here, but on me, the CHP behaved sort of the same. Although the effect was much less dramatic compared to you, my breasts completely disappeared in the cups leaving massive gapping, even though it looked fine or even slightly tight right after scooping. It seemed as if my breasts tried to escape left right and centre -- in my case mostly centre -- and for some reason they also pushed the cups down. I originally concluded the cups were too shallow in the bottom for me and/or my breasts too soft for the low centre gore, but as I really don't think I'm full-on-bottom nor that my breasts are THAT particularly soft neither reason makes any sense to me at all. To make a long story short, I really don't understand what is the problem with the cut of this bra, but something in it is entirely incompatible with certain breast shapes.
