So, after a few reviews on other brands, I was beginning to get Ewa Michalak withdrawal symptoms so I decided it’s time to write about my favourite topic again 🙂
The Ewa Michalak PL Retro is a gorgeous basic but very beautiful bra.

The Ewa Michalak PL Retro is black – plain black with no patterns or lace – but not just a regular, solid black. It has beige-coloured foam cups which are covered in a fine black mesh overlay, creating a sort of two-toned effect. It’s hard to describe but the look is just great – here I am in the 80J/36J.
The straps of the Ewa Michalak PL Retro are not overly stretchy, nor is the band. But the best news is that although the cups have softened up since I first got the bra, they have retained their shape completely and have not stretched, unlike some of the EM bras I own. I think the foam used is slightly thinner than all my other EMs; that and the fact they are only covered with the sheer mesh fabric means this bra adds less bulk to my boobs.
The Ewa Michalak PL Retro bra is one I go to regularly when I want to wear something super comfortable and reliable. As it’s black it goes with pretty much everything (including my big comfortable pants when it’s that time to wear them!) and I don’t have to worry about the colour or straps showing from underneath my clothes. It’s a perfect lingerie drawer staple.
I didn’t buy the Ewa Michalak PL Retro’s matching thong originally but decided to get it with my recent order. It’s really comfortable and very sexy – completely sheer! This means it doesn’t hide any lumps and bumps but it does feel very special to wear something completely see through such as this.
So, this set is yet another hit by Ewa Michalak. It seems this brand cannot put a foot wrong.
What a great bra, I love how simple it is! Always good to have a decent black bra in your lingerie drawer. I need to try Ewa Michalak but I am nervous about the sizing.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Zoe!
Yes, I agree. It’s always good to have a few staple colour bras, such as black, nude and perhaps white.
Ewa Michalak have a great size calculator on their website so give it a go and see how you get on. They are great with returns if you need to send anything back, although I think you could equally resell just as easily.
