This bra could be great, but I needed a cup size down (the dart instead of the zoom). The band fits well on my 31 inch ribcage. I am a little short-waisted and short overall (5' 4'') and I think this bra is designed for someone taller. This and the cup being a bit large led to too much fabric in my armpits and rubbing there. I generally wear a 34FF/G in Ewa Michalak (about a 32G in UK sizing) and have even fullness, semi soft tissue, projected breasts that need narrow wires.

I have the Magnolia with the white powermesh type lining that isn't fully attached to the cup and I love it! I feel like it molds to my shape exactly and provides better support and roundness.

Fortnight Lingerie is supposed to have great bralettes! Undiegamer did a bunch of great reviews of them, but it looks like her blog is private now. Here's a review though: http://www.allsfairinloveandlingerie.com/?p=726. And stockists: http://fortnightlingerie.com/stockists/online/.
I love, love, love this bra. It's totally converted me to longlines. It's amazing having the support for my breasts spread out over a larger area of my back, and I find it also helps me stand up straight and use my abs more in daily life. This longline is also actually long, with fabric and boning extending a good two inches below the wires in this size. At first I found the boning a little uncomfortable, but I found that after a day's wear this bra really formed to the shape of my body and ribcage and the boning now curves exactly where I do. Super comfortable! ...
Occasionally sometimes when sitting down, the front bunches up a little, but it isn't painful and is easy to put into place again discreetly. The boning definitely helps prevent any major flip-ups. The fabric in the straps and band also loosens up a bit after the first wear, which was great for me, as I found the straps to be a little short at first! Now they're perfect.
I'm full all over and take the same size in this bra as I do in the Marcie.

Would anyone be able to give me a run-down of differences in fit between the Ewa Michalak BM and SM styles? I have a few SMs that fit perfectly, but I haven't been able to find much out about the BM. I'm also familiar with the fit of CHPs if that's helpful for comparison. Thank you.

Well, those are the only 2 EMs I own - a 70HH - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Beżowa Perła (533) and a 70J - Ewa Michalak » Sm Fiolecik (642)
I wrote them and asked what sizes to get, because I came up as 70HH in their calculator but wear 32J in Panache, and thats what they recommended. Now, the SM is definitely shallower. When I first tried it on, I thought it was too big, but when I swooped-and-scooped, it was fine. This particular one is very firm, non-stretchy material, and I am still using an extender after wearing it 3 times.
the BM I have is honestly a tad small, but very stretchy so pretty forgiving. I do quad out on the bigger side.
but thats all I know. I need to update the pics on the SM, I took some scooped-and-swooped but havent posted yet
I have two SM bras and one BM all in the same size, and I find the SM to be more uplifting, front and center; while the BM is a softer, milder silhouette, and has fuller coverage.
Now, the fuller coverage means that for some breast shapes, the BM is about half-size larger in the cup than the SM.

Ah, unfortunately I think it'd be too small through the hips for me!
Would it be possible to see a picture of the red sheath dress on a body or mannequin? Also, what would the hip measurement be, and is there any stretch in the fabric?
Your tailoring on the red swallows dress looks gorgeous!
What style? What does the band stretch to?
I'm 32G/34FF and this bra fits me very well in the 34FF, so I'd guess it is wonky scaling. Narrow roots, projected, centre full shape.
