This is a nice red padded bra, which is rare in cupsize above H. The padding thickness and the thin material over the padding reminds me to the Panache Porcelain moulded bra. Ewa Michalak is famous about narrow wires, but I do not think that is the case. This is my firs EM bra so I have no comparison within the brand, but my Cleo Marcie bra has 1.5 cm narrower wire than this. This bra's wires are narrower than the Curvy Kate Daily Boost , but that bra is know from wide wires.
The bra has 3 hook closure, but the spacing is not exactly ... the standard 3/4" as in other bras, and my extender wrinkled a bit because of this.
I am really disappointed about the sizing and the EM website sizing help of this bra. I wear 32 band in every UK brand, and the cupsize varies by brand. I wear 32J in Cleo and Panache, maybe JJ in Freya, and some rare cases I need a 32K like the CK Daily boost.
The websize sizing gave me 80H ( 36H), which sounded really far off. I read on some bloggers that this is often the case, but they are just go by their normal UK size. So I decided to sister size down the websize advice twice to 70JJ equivalentl to 32JJ, which seems about right.
Well the band is fine. It is a bit too snug, but the band is stretchy and will strech out very soon, Their suggestion would have been way too big, I am glad I went with my normal UK bandsize
The problem is that the cup is so small I am not even sure how many cupsize bigger I would need. At least 2 maybe even 3 or more In any case I won' going to spend another $20 to try a different size, because I am so far off that it would shooting into the dark again. The problem is that for this style, you need to very spot on with size. In case of padded plunge polie the Panache porcelain, or PL versions of EMI assume, a little bit of extra just give you a bit morecleavagee. But this is a balconette, and all yopur boobs has to fit into the cup to look good.
