Ewa Michalak sizing

14 replies

I've seen a few recommendations for Ewa Michalak bras here and they look great on the website. The postage from Poland seems surprisingly cheap but I can't imagine it's cheap to send returns so I'd like to be as sure as possible that I'm ordering the right size. I'm a 32FF in Debenhams Gorgeous range- does anyone know if the EM bras are sized the same?

Em are a bit variable- which specific bras was it?

Return post isn't too painful- last time I did it was £6ish for 3

I like the look of this one www.ewa-michalak.pl/product-eng-468-CHP-Famme-Fatale.html and this one www.ewa-michalak.pl/product-eng-473-S-Pieprzyk.html

I have the first one, and have a few of the S Shapes although not that exact one. I would say both that chp, and all the S Shapes I have run true to size in the band.

I haven't had anything from Gorgeous in a while but last time I tried them they ran small in the band and a bit stingy in the cups. For both of these EM ones, I would say you want to buy the band that matches your tight underbust measurement - so if you measure 30, buy a 30.

My Famme Fatale and S shapes are 30HHs, I wear 30HH or J in Bravissimo own brand, 30H in Cleo and Panache, and borderline 30H/HH in Freya or Fantasie. The only Debenhams Gorgeous bra I own is a 32H. Does that help at all?

That does help, thanks very much. I measured myself today and am 31" and 38". Does that sound consistent with 32FF?

Certainly a reasonable size. I'd have told you to try 30F/ff and 32E/f as a base but debs gorgeous runs small in back and cup so a 32ff in them is no surprise!

Just to say the Ewa bras are addictive - they give you a really upfront and uplifted shape. I feel like I look saggy now in a normal bra Grin
Plus one of those under a slightly low cut top and men start walking into lamp posts and reducing food to pennies in the supermarket for you (both happened on the same day) Wink

HazleNutt · 26/01/2014 19:03

so the measuring guide on Ewa's page is wrong as well? It tells me I should order size 36 when I measure 32..

StatisticallyChallenged · 26/01/2014 19:07

Yeah it's wrong too. Go figure!

I'm not 100% sure but I think that if it's on the dropdown it's still a standard size and returnable. If you have to email them for a custom order (I do) then it's non returnable.

They're not on the individual dropdowns for most bras - it's on the main site dropdown but there are only a handful of bras "available". But the others I can order custom

StatisticallyChallenged · 26/01/2014 21:20

Oh, actually, they ARE custom now I think. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that they now only do 28s as customs.

StatisticallyChallenged · 26/01/2014 21:23

What I did was to order the closest I could get which was still returnable to check them out. I managed to get a 32GG and from that could work out that the 30HH would work for me. They have lots of 30FF available so you could possibly order one of those to try. The SM style also run very small in the back so you might well want a 30FF in those.

There is a big boobs facebook page where people buy and sell and Ewas are super popular over there especially in small back sizs so you would always be able to resell.
