Azullu

This just isn't my size. Once I received it I realized my mistake in size conversion (even after thinking it was just barely in my size range). Depending on the day, I can fill out the middle and bottom of it, but my roots are far, far too short and without enough upper fullness. Perhaps I'm simply too small. No matter how I cut it this would be a full coverage, and has been on the few days I've about fit it. Once I get some more sewing practice I plan to alter the cups.

Aesthetically it's stunning. I wish I could go back in time and order a few of these and Famme Fatales. Certainly with matching briefs. Probably the only bra that would break my unwillingness to order from Ewa, I would order a re-release or similar bra in a heartbeat.

Very projected, the satin is more muted in person - but not any less good.
As with my Arlekin (the more recent pinstripe one), Myszka, and I think one other Ewa bra, some of the eyes on the closure are defective on the last 2 columns. An extender on the inner eye closures that do hold up to wear is a simple work around, but I expect better from Ewa Michalak.

Sunflower elegance on a blue-teal with split straps on the first ~1.2in of the straps with about 2" of strap that is not adjustable, while the rest of the strap is. Black inner lining, straps, bridge and back as well as a black bow on the gore. Okay feeling synthetic lining that doesn't irritate me or is of note through the day. Smallest of my 60Ls, and relatively closed up top for a half cup (shouldn't be unfriendly to FoT shapes, but results in cups running on the small side)

A shape mismatch for me as it's too wide and shallow. It looks like it could be a good bra for someone it fits, the materials seem okay and the aesthetics are nice. I'm not sure if the white strip along the top of the cups would show under thin shirts however.

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.

Seems small, wouldn't hold up as a strapless at all.

Fits very similar to my 28F Rhea that's also the Ice colourway. The band is prone to riding up no matter how tight/snug/loose I wear it and the cups are far from an ideal fit. Gorgeous and almost luxurious (bad band), but not ABTF for me.

Very comfortable and quite (comfortably!) padded. Easily the most padded bra I own. To be clear, the padding is even, no "push" up cushions on the side or bottom of the cups. The inside of the cups feels like soft and gentle cotton. The band is just too big for me, as it should be at a size or two above what fits me. Even so it seemed stretchy. the cups are fairly narrow and projected, and I think would be better for someone even or top heavy. I think the cups are TTS or a bit big, the cup is open on top an allows for a ... more flexible fit (I'm not sure how much impact a loose band had on all this) I'm not sure if I'm unlucky or if the bra was more used than it appeared, but one of the straps shredded in the washer (I know, I know. I had little choice).

Although I like this bra and would like it in my size, I haven't gotten around to altering this one. Let alone another. Unless a tight 28 comes out, I need sewing practice or a looser band, I'm about done with this model.

Rixie clip edit - Damn this is a stretchy band. I have the clip as far back as it can go, and this feels like a 28 or so. Apparently the cups are a pretty okay fit! No gaping like before, a bit of quadding on my bigger breast. The shape looks . .mildly lumpy? On top of that the satin above the lace trim tightens and cuts in a lot. Like a strapless dress with a snug or tight ribbon top cuts in. It makes the shape absolutely irredeemable, which if the top wasnt so warping, would be like an up-tilted L rounded out.

The wires are wide, but they must be soft as well. I don't feel them, even though they're almost wrapping around.

The straps, I think mainly the bow, is quite itchy. Wide set straps, but this is a sister size. The straps are in the fat just beside my armpits. Not ideal, but if the fabric wasn't irritating I wouldn't mind since this is a bandeau style. The cups and band are still really comfortable.
