I wanted that bra so much that I ordered it in a bigger size than my usual Ewa PL/PLP bras as I had gained a bit of weight. Measured myself, I only had gained a band size so sent my order and received it a month later, as usual. Except that this bra, that I was so happy with the smooth satin-like aspect and old rose pink, has a VERY long band.
My usualy 80 bands are 68cm. My other 85 band from Ewa is a PLM and is 73cm. This one is 82cm and I was able to put it on the tightest hook on day one. ... Tried to use it on the middle hooks (it is a 4 ranges of 3 hooks clasp) but I ended up tightening the bra as the day went on, ending up on the tightest hook at the end of the day and with bad shoulder and neck pain.
Contacted Ewa and they said it's due to the fabric, that this is not an error and that this length has to be expected on the Kawalura bra too. So buyer, beware! You do NOT want to size up in this bra, rather sister size down in the band if you have any doubt!
Returns prices are prohibitive in my country. Ewa's client service offered to alter the band for free and reduce it, but it would cost me the price of the bra to send it back and forth. There is a 14 number sewn on the side of the cup but there is a handwritten "19M" on one of the tags, so it might still be an error from the manufacturer.
Otherwise a cute bra, loved the color, shame that I can't wear this bra. Will try to find a seamstress that could alter it.

I think those numbers on the bra - the 14 & the 15 - are the seamstress who sewed them.
