It looks like this isn't a 100% technical fit, but I'm pretty much in love with this bra. The thing I'm the most bummed about (but knew before buying - totally on me) is that Ewa sent it out to the first owner with a big defect . . the left ribbon was sewn far too tightly. Even with an attempted fix it's too tight on the cup. It doesn't effect how the cup feels since attempted fix and seems to only effect the outside of the cup and the profile. (edit - it does make the cup smaller) It looks awful under almost every shirt of mine, ... even the ones that hide the regular detailing.
Anyhow, this is a tight band. Possibly a 26 or very close to it on the loosest hook. Gorgeous design. Quality materials that should make it harder to love the Syrena to death. 4 rows of hooks is a truely great touch on Ewa's.
The wires are a bit wide for me and will start to bite in after a full day (and do hurt a bit if I fall asleep in it. Pretty sure there's some user error in there though . . .and it's still better than Cleo gores) The low gore will start to make the skin under the top/right above itch a bit too - I think it somehow manages to shift around on my chest a bit. Or maybe boob sweat? It tacks fully and leaves lines from fitting snugly in to place. Anyhow, all this tends to come after hours of wear and I haven't had any problem wearing it out for my busy days.
I think it fits TTS, but my other two ewas are too small and too large. The straps are wider than I would like, but my broad shoulders save the day in conjunction with the straps not shifting around (a pleasant surprise). It also gives fantastic uplift, the kind I've always wanted but not been able to get.
Otherwise? It's gorgeous (on me!), it's comfortable and it FITS ME. I wish I felt comfortable purchasing from EM, as I would love to own more of the company's bras and this was on my radar since it's release. Until then, I'll keep lurking here, BraSwap and perpetually plan a Comexim order.
