I've ordered yet another Ewa Michalak bra, this time from Levana Bratique. There were a few bras in stock in a 75J, and I decided on the BM Kleks (listed as the Lace bra on the site). I noticed that the 75J was listed as 34M US (75J), which is I believe is actually the correct conversion, but is different than how the Rack Shack (32J-->75J) and Bras Galore (32M-->75J) did the size conversion. At any rate, what I received was in fact a 75J. This bra is unpadded, with a black mesh inner layer and navy blue lace outer layer, giving an overall "ink blue" effect when wearing it. The cups felt a bit smaller than the ones on my 75J - Ewa Michalak » Bm Koronkowa , but I think that is due to the lace being a little less stretchy and my breasts being a bit swollen. I would imagine it will fit better next week.

It fits, it's comfy! The fit is identical to the 75J - Ewa Michalak » Sf Gładzioch Mleczna Czekolada I purchased at the same time--see my review of that bra for more details.

I recently decided to try out Ewa Michalak bras. My local boutique only had one EM bra in my size (75J - Ewa Michalak » Bm Koronkowa ), so I decided to order more bras online from the Rack Shack, which had more bras in stock I ordered the SF Gladzioch in both black (75J - Ewa Michalak » Sf Czarny Gładzioch (866) ) and caramel. I was a little nervous that they might be too small, as I later saw on Reddit that the SF bras run a bit smaller in the cup than the BMs, but they ... ended up fitting reasonably well. The gore tacks perfectly, and even though the cups are cut lower than most of my other bras, I don't get any quadboob. I've wore the SF Gladzioch in caramel all day today, and it's super comfortable, even when lying down. It's the best fitting (lightly) padded bra I own by far. I think the fact that the upper portion of the cup is stretchy fabric makes the fit of this bra more forgiving than other bras I've tried in this size range. A slight downside is that the padding/foam in the lower cup is very flexible, so it doesn't provide as much nipple concealment as my other padded bras.
A note about sizing: when I ordered from the Rack Shack was a 32J (UK sizing), but both the bras that arrived were both labelled 75J inside, much like the bra I purchased from my local boutique (labelled 32M US/75 J). I haven't ordered from any other boutiques yet, but when I checked out Levana Bratique's website, it looks like they listed 75J as being equivalent to a 34M US. I'm not sure why conversion from Ewa Michalak's sizing is different between the boutiques.

I had previously purchased the 75J - Ewa Michalak » Bm Koronkowa from my local boutique, and while it fit perfectly, I was not a fan of the beige color. I really wanted a green bra, but none of the US boutiques I found online had anything my size in that color, and Ewa Michalak's website doesn't exactly take credit cards. I ended up reaching out to my local boutique, and they agreed to order it for me, albeit as a final sale item. It took a couple months to arrive, but I finally picked it up last week. From EM's ... website, I expected the bra to be basically a green Ewa Michalak Bm Koronkowa (all stretch lace), but it actually ended being more like the Ewa Michalak Bm Kleks (861) , with a black tulle lining. The green lace looked more teal than emerald in person as well. Still very pretty, but not quite what I expected. Fitwise, it is very similar to my 75J - Ewa Michalak » Bm Kleks (861) , so just a teeny bit small in the cups the first day I wore it, but the gore tacked perfectly the second day after the lace stretched out a bit.

I'm always in search for a lounge/sleep bra works well enough for me to work from home and sleep in, so I figured I'd try out the Nova lounge bra from Bravissimo. I've slept in it a few nights in a row, and it's VERY comfortable. The material feels a bit like swimsuit or leotard material, but is very soft. Fitwise...I do either leak out of the sides a bit or overflow in the middle if I swoop and scoop. I've been noticed that a number of my bras are a bit small on me lately, so maybe I need to go up a size. If only half cup sizes went up to a J...

Finally, the Envy in something close to my skin tone! I'm excited Panache released this colorway (chestnut) and hope that this becomes a permanent option.
I own the same bra in black and in navy-- see 32J - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) for my full review of the black colorway.

I've been curious about Ewa Michalak for a while, and I just realized there was a boutique near me that stocks this brand. This particular boutique relabels bras with their US size, so I requested a 32M US. It felt a little looser than the 32J - Elomi » Morgan Banded Bra (4110) I wore into the shop, but very soft and comfortable, and fit nicely after swooping and scooping. I would say this reminds me a bit of the Panache Envy, but with narrower cups. Beige bras aren't really my thing, but I bought it anyway because a) it fit ... and b) I want to encourage stores to keep stocking my size. They're supposed to let me know when they get another EM shipment, so I'm hoping against hope that they'll get something colorful in my size.
Something I didn't notice until I entered this bra into Bratabase was that it's labelled 32M/75J. I'm pretty sure a 75 should actually be a 34, but this seems to fit me alright. If anything, the cups on this are smaller than than the ones on my 32J - Fantasie » Illusion Side Support Bra (FL2982) and the 70M - Gorsenia » Forest Balconette . Has anyone else had this experience with Ewa Michalak?

I've been needing a strapless bra and wanting a long line bra, so when Brastop dropped the price on this to $33, I jumped on it. I ordered it in a 32J UK, as the other Curvy Kate bras I own ( 32J - Curvy Kate » Kiss Cross Plunge Bra (CK006101) and 32J - Curvy Kate » Lifestyle Plunge Bra (CK5711) ) are that size. Getting this bra on was an adventure in and of itself. I had to hook turn the bra backwards and hook the first 5 hooks, then flip the bottom of the band ... up and hook the rest of them. Then I had to slowly spin it around to the back. My ribs got stuck in the cups twice during that process. Then I went through several go-rounds of swooping, scooping, and tugging the bra higher in the back. Initially, I was spilling out of the top, but the bottoms of the cups were empty. After a lot of adjustment, I managed to mostly fill out the bottoms of the cups and get rid of all the overflow. The gore still wouldn't tack, and the bra keeps shifting down some. The cups gape some when I reach forward, and the bottom of the back keeps riding way up as well. Even with all these issues, this bra is surprisingly comfortable. The boning is soft and completely flexible. I would probably return this if I had paid full price for it, but for $33, it's not worth the hassle of an international return.

I already had the Ewa Michalak Gladys bra in both black and milk chocolate/caramel in a 75J, so when I saw that the "aubergine" colorway was available in my size at Levana Bratique, I grabbed it and the matching underwear. The fit is virtually identical to my 75J - Ewa Michalak » Sf Gładzioch Mleczna Czekolada and 75J - Ewa Michalak » Sf Czarny Gładzioch (866) , and super comfortable to wear all day, even with the obscene humidity outdoors today. This bra looks dark brown to me in person, as opposed to dark purple as I would expect of something labelled "aubergine," but it actually makes it a better neutral/skin tone bra for me.

I ordered the Tara at the same time as my 32K - Comexim » Sofia Half Cup 3hc Padded Underwire Longline Br, and found the fit of these two bras to be quite different. The Tara is not just unpadded, but unlined, and the cups are very open on top. The cups are made of a stiff lace with a very open framework, giving an overall sheer effect. It was fine under a medium weight knit dress, but a bit nipple-y under a T-shirt. The cups fit with no gaps or wrinkles, and when I first bought it, the gore tacked perfectly. ... The longline tends to flip up in the front over time, but stays put in the back, and has helped a lot with my back. Right now, the gore is tacking on only the left side (my smaller breast), but I think that is do to PMS-related swelling. Maybe unpadded longline Comexims are the way to go for me. I'm eyeing that new one that just showed up on Breakout Bras...
Since I think the "bras that fit her" might still be a bit wonky: other bras that currently fit me are 32JJ - Elomi » Mariella Banded Bra (EL4420) , 32JJ - Elomi » Sachi Plunge Bra (4350) , 32K - Flirtelle » Alice Balconette Bra (FL7801) , and 32JJ - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285). Also, M - Cosabella » Never Say Never Ultra Curvy Sweetie Bralette (N and other bralettes in the Cosabella Ultra Curvy line are working pretty well for me at the moment.
