I am a size 30H/HH depending on the day, and I have never worn a soft cup bra that fit me so well right off the rack. When I went to Kohl's to try it on, my husband said, "Wait. You're going to a DEPARTMENT store to find a bra? Since when does that work for you?"

It is ridiculously comfortable, and with the pink lace, it's even kinda pretty. The fabric of the cups stretches beautifully to accommodate even my fairly large cup size, and the straps are very stretchy and comfortable without being supportive. The shape it gives is not my favorite (a little ... too east-west for wearing out), but it's more than adequate for wearing around the house and to sleep, and for $17, I'm very pleased! I took the pink with lace in a medium and ordered a grey heather one. The pink one fits beautifully with the alteration I made to the band (no quadding), but the heather grey one runs a bit tighter in the band and cuts into the top of my breast a bit. I think it's because of the line of elastic on the grey that the pink doesn't have because of the lace. If your breasts are on the larger side, and you want to buy this bra (which I definitely encourage you to do!), I would recommend avoiding the colors with elastic along the top unless you have very firm breast tissue.

This bra's measurements have been altered

Altered band,

I'm trying not to get too excited (we've all been burned before by thinking a bra was the last model we'd ever buy, only to later discover hidden discomforts), but this is probably the most comfortable first wear I've ever had. The gore and wings are low enough to be appropriate for my short roots, and it's open enough on top that I have minimal quadding (and the quadding I do have would likely be solved by sizing up since the gore doesn't quite tack either). The cleavage I get in this bra makes up for it enough that I'm not mad about it. The material doesn't feel ... particularly luxurious, but it's a nice enough basic beige bra and will immediately be going into my regular rotation. I bought a size up from my SM Czarna Mgiełka, which was previously my only great fit, and I would probably size up one more to eliminate the quadding and get the gore to tack. There's a tiny bit of wrinkling under my left breast, which is the more immediately projected one, but overall it's the best bra with padding I've worn in a really long time.

I first had this bra in a 30H, and I loved how snug the wires were on my IMF and didn't poke into my armpits, but when I gained a little weight (and a whole cup size because go figure), I discovered that the 30HH has underwires that are MUCH wider and taller than the 30H. I'm stuck in this awkward place where I need the wires on the 30H, but the cup depth of the 30HH. I unfortunately can't accurately measure them now because I've had them so long.

The lace was very soft and pretty, and there's a cute little purple bow between the cups. The band did run small; I need a 65 in Ewa Michalak's padded bras as far as I can tell, and this one fits beautifully in a 70. I do need one cup size larger, though, as I get enough quadding to show under shirts. Were it not for the quadding, this bra does a remarkable job of disappearing under shirts. It seems like the apex is a little low, but so is the apex of my actual breast, so I'm not sure if this is because ... it allows my shape to show through more clearly, because I need to go a size up, or because of the actual shape of the bra. Either way, it provides a very natural look that I think will be even better when I can buy the correct size. The profile is also very minimized from the front as the bra keeps the breasts on the front of the body rather than splayed to the sides. All in all, it's a beautiful bra that I look forward to wearing in the correct size.

I went up a band size after reading reviews that said Ewa Michalak bands run tight, but this one seems pretty true to size; I should have gone with my gut and gotten the 65. The band is stretchy and comfortable and stays put as long as I keep it on the tightest hook. I'm confident that in the 65, it would behave the same way on the loosest one. The cups have a tiiiiiiiiny bit of quadding without the asymmetry pads, so I obviously can't wear this bra with the pads, but it doesn't show under shirts, and considering it's the best-fitting bra I ... own right now, I think I'll live with that until I can receive a 65HH in the mail. This bra sits beautifully in my IMF, and it accommodates inner fullness better than the Comexim 3HC. It's also narrower than Comexim's 3HC, with underwires that are U-shaped rather than spread out to the sides. I could probably go for a narrower wire, but this one is plenty comfortable as it is, so I'm not too bothered about it. The bra is a lovely shade of light pink that I think will complement most skin tones, and the seams and lace didn't show up under the clingiest, stretchiest shirt I could find. When I put it on, my husband said, "Whoa, they look a lot more projected than usual." (Isn't he cute, picking up on bra lingo lol), but when I put a shirt on, they looked very rounded, and while they weren't minimised, I think once you get to a certain size, there's no escaping the fact that you have large breasts. The bra does hold them on the front of my body instead of the sides, which is exactly what I wanted. All in all, I will definitely be ordering another one in the correct size.
