The Top

Today’s review is going to be featuring my new S Mojito bra from Ewa Michalak (and the matching thong bottom). Both pieces were purchased directly from the EM website. The set cost me 218 zloty (I bought it when the bra was on sale right after being released) before shipping and fees. The bra is in a size 70JJ, and the thong is a size 42.

The Look

This bra is actually a beige color, with an aqua lace overlay. It features a much lighter aqua color on the straps, and a very pale blue color on the bows (the straps and bows aren’t exactly the same color). It also features white metal fixtures.

One thing I’ll note about the bra: My pictures are pretty close from a color standpoint. The set is a much bluer color than the stock photos indicate. The straps especially are definitely a blue color (whereas the stock photos indicate that the straps might be a light green).

The thong bottoms feature a triangular lace front panel. The sides are seperate lace panels, which are connected via one seam straight down the back. It features one bow on the back in the center, as well as two bows on the front panel (which match the bows on the bra).

The Fit

Now moving onto the fit of the set. As usual, I’ll give a very brief summary, followed by a complete breakdown of the set, then finally another (more extensive) summary. So for the brief summary: the cups run about true to size (but please read the cup review section) and the band runs a bit snug.

The Cups

The cups of this bra are a standard S cut, which in this size is a four part cup construction. The cup features three vertical panels on the bottom along with one horizontal panel across the top. The bra also features beige cookie pockets, which match the beige cup base.

In the S cut, all bras in a size 70JJ or sister sizes feature a 4 part cup construction (smaller sizes feature a three part cup construction). This four part cup construction is more open on top than the three part cup construction. The measurements however are actually quite similar to that of EM’s 70J S cut bras. This bra has a cup width of 6.69in (17cm) and a cup depth of 12.01in (30.5cm). My 70J S cut bras tend to be about 6.5in wide, and about 11.75in deep so the cups on this 70JJ bra are not much larger. HOWEVER (and this is why I told you to read this section!), I have been told by a few people that this is pretty standard, and that while the cut changes from 70J to 70JJ, the cup measurements don’t change substantially. So as far as I can tell, the cups run true to size.

The Gore

I don’t have much to say in regards to the gore of this bra. The gore measures 3.82in (9.7cm) tall, and is about the same as my other EM S cut gores. I’ll note that the wire channels in this bra are very slightly overlapped.

The Band

The band on this bra features a 3×4 clasp. If you like all of your details to be perfect, then the clasps on this bra may bug you a little. As you can see, the fastener for this bra is a bit off from the color of the top elastic and straps.

From a sizing standpoint, this band runs a little bit snug. You can see that there is more strain on the hooks than in most of my other bra pictures. Unstretched, the band measures 24.5 inches. Stretched, the band measures at about 30.3 inches, which means that the band on this bra runs pretty close to a size small (most of my 70 bands in Ewa’s S cut bras stretch to about 32 inches).

The Bottom

These bottoms run pretty true to size. I generally wear a 42 in EM bottoms, and as you can see this pair fits me pretty well in a size 42. As is generally recommended with her bottoms, I would suggest that if you’re between sizes (I have 43 inch hips) that you size down rather than up.

A Summary

In summary, I really like the color of this set much more than I expected to. I was a bit on the fence when I placed the order because I wasn’t sure how it would look on me, but it is much bluer than I expected and I love the color (it is actually almost the exact same color as my phone case and my computer case). My only little gripe is that each of the accents on the bra are a slightly different color. The bottoms run true to size and the cups run true to size (I think), but I might recommend sizing up in the band if you don’t want to have to break out the extender since this one ran almost a full size snug.
