Ewa Michalak PL Milady Bra Review

Way back in October I was fortunate to be a winner in the wonderful Curvy Wordy's blog giveaway. The prize? An Ewa Michalak plunge bra of my choosing. Being a huge EM fan, and having recently lost a bit of weight, I decided to size down to a 26 band. My choice? The newly released PL Milady. I also sprung for these waist high briefs, because they are so awesomely retro looking. I have to say that my choices in every way could not have been more excellent.


This bra is gorgeous, and the sheer paneling and lace on the briefs makes them 50s pin up as opposed to granny panties (btw their sizing chart for panties is spot on, I would definitely follow it). The fit is also perfect, I sized down from my previous EM size of 28(60)GG to 26(55)H and the band feels snug but not tight on the first set of hooks. For those who are wanting to try Ewa and wondering about sizing, I take the same size as I do (or would) in most UK brands. However everyone is different and I recommend trying a range of sizes in their non-custom range and returning what doesn't fit.  I am so happy I was able to take the plunge and try out a 26 band, I will certainly be ordering this size in the future. Thank you to Caroline of Curvy Wordy and the brilliant bra engineers at Ewa Michalak!
