This Antonina is in the Ewa Michalak BM style, which is unpadded, wired, and full-coverage. It is made of a white lace outer with medium beige mesh fabric on the inside. The gore is only beige mesh so it looks like there is a cut-out between the cups which I really love. The colorway feels like a good everyday style- not completely boring but not super fussy or decorative.
The wires were narrow and fit my shape very well! The gore sits nice and flat against my chest wall, but tiny bit on the vertical side closest to my breast. It doesn't lift up, it just...tilts a little ... so the tiny bow in the middle also tilts a bit. This would not be a deal-breaker to me at all. The profile shape was natural-looking but more uplifted and rounded. The lace wasn't too obvious through a t-shirt and I would feel comfortable wearing this to work under most tops.
The cups were a little too tall. One cup was definitely a bit baggy on the upper part. The bottom of the cups have a bit of wrinkling. The straps are set just a hair wider than I like; however, the straps stayed in place 99% of the day. (Literally the only time I adjusted was after lifting up my child. Normally I am adjusting straps throughout the day!) It was comfortable to wear; I wore it from morning until about 9:00 PM in the evening. The 'indents' after removing were almost exactly lined up with my IMF; the outer length of wire could be a bit more narrow to be perfect but it did not poke or bother my underarms.
I am keeping this one instead of the BM Kleks based mainly on the more "practical" color of the BM Antonina. This is definitely the first white-or-mostly-white bra that I have ever liked - normally white feels frumpy to me but I think the blend of lace with "nude" mesh gives it more visual interest.
