Ewa Michalak Bra Styles
S - a lightly padded balconette bra with removable push up pads. This style is seamed in 3 parts, gathering the bust to the center and creating a rounded shape. S bras work best for average to large cup sizes. The removable padding is ideal if you have breast asymmetry.
SF - SF stands for "semi soft". If you dislike padded bras but you would still like the effect they give, consider a SF style. Based off the S frame, the bottom of the cups is made of a thinner material than the S above and the tops are made of double-layered elastic tulle which adjust to the shape of your breasts. The bra is designed for women who prefer full coverage. Ideal for many breast types, but will work particularily well with soft and less firm breasts.
SM - SM is an unpadded balconette bra. This is the unpadded version of the S style above. SM bras can be sheer or made of a firm lace. Offering medium coverage, it's ideal for lower necklines. SM bras are ideal for a moderately firm breast tissue due to the cups being make from a more structured lace.
SMN - A sheer, unpadded bra that features decorative lace or strappy embellishments. The fabric is delicate, yet doesn't compromise in structure and strength. SMN bras give a rounded, statement-making shape.
PL - a PL bra is a padded, plunge bra. Offering a low neckline, it also comes with removable push up padding. Ideal for a moderately firm and full breast tissue due to the low center gore. PL bras are not ideal for a soft, mature breast tissue as the breast tissue may spill into the center, which can create a visible line or bubble under clothing.
BM - BM bras are our most popular frame by Ewa Michalak. BM bras are unpadded and offer full coverage. These are known for their narrow wires which gather your breasts to the centre and produce incredible lift. Works well for a majority of breast types and sizes, but most ideal for full figures and full busts (small bands, large cups).
Nursing - We carry the Magnolia Nursing Bra by Ewa Michalak. She's based off of the S style. Complete with clips and easy drop-down cups for nursing.
