I am so excited about this Bra! It is one of the first unlined bras I have had in a VERY long time. I have a real issue with looking VERY cold in thin bras. Since I had such good results with my first few Ewa Michalak bras, (bought through other Bratabase users as I was trying to determine my size) I decided to try one of the soft models when I broke down and did my first direct order. Many reviews said that the size in the padded versions vs the soft versions varied by one size. Since ... I had determined that my size in the padded styles was 70FF, I went with the 70F in the soft style (bratabase measurements show this as well). The result was PERFECT! The fit is spot on and it doesn't have me looking like I just walked out of a walk in freezer! It feels so much better to wear a soft bra without all the extra material when it's 100 degrees outside! I was a little concerned about the gore as my breasts are very close set. This did not end up being a problem as the gore on this one is actually very similar to the 70FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Summer Time (553) and 65FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Famme Fatale (468) that I had gotten when trying to determine size. I will definitely be ordering more soft styles so that I will have more than one bra to wear during the summer months.

It is unlined so I cant compare it to the CHP or S style that I know Ill love more but having bought this for 30$ to try out sizing makes me confident 70F will be my size - especially since I know now (was told after I bought this) that sometimes its best to downsize a bit in the BM unlined style.

Also, I made an error measuring at first so I mistakenly though I had a 10" depth - went ahead and bought this bra that has 9.8" and remeasured afterwards and I realised I really am 9.5"

The band feels very sturdy which I love - does not feel cheap like a lot of other brands. The bottom part of this style fits perfectly but the upper lace part is a bit too loose. It doesnt show when standing straight but if I bend over the lace part opens a bit.

Allover happy with this  and Im more than ever looking forwards to alllll my other EM's coming my way.

A beautiful balconnet bra with firm opaque lower cups and an upper panel of stretch lace. The other BM cuts I own (the Perla and the Migdaly) both have an upper panel consisting of a single layer of stretch lace. The Aqua, however, has a double panel: a lower layer of plain elastic netting overlaid with a layer of stretch lace. It does therefore offer a little more encapsulation than the Perla or Migdaly -- but it's an incredibly stretchy lace and those looking for a very firm, held-in feeling may not find it sufficient.

The BM cut runs wider than the SM cut. Those who found the SM/S ... wires too narrow might therefore have more luck with the BM.

The stretch lace upper panel is very forgiving; incredibly so; and I'm not sure if it's because of this but the cups seem much roomier than the SM cut. At least half a cup size roomier, if not a full cup size. While this one fits me fine without being high-coverage, I also feel like I'd like to try a cup size down in this one, there's so much potential extra space that the stretch lace panel would afford me. Sadly, I can't personally test this theory as the BM cut isn't made in a 70E.

Gore is a little higher than on my SM bras. It is very narrow, if not quite enough so for me.

*Edited to add: after a few washes and wears, the stiffness of the fabric has faded and the cups are now better moulded to me, but I'm still of the mindset that I could wear this bra in a 70E, a full cupsize down from my SM/CHP size.
