Amazing breakthrough!

Oh happy day! Oh happy day!
After fifteen years of searching and researching, six years of those years trying to draft my own bras, I finally have two bras that I'm completely in the cup and well supported. It's kinda sad when something as simple as a bra can evoke a bout of tears but fifteen years is a long time! These bras aren't me-made unfortunately but I'm still thrilled nonetheless.
I had been eyeing (read: salivating over) the bras from Ewa Michalak, a Polish based custom lingerie company, for a long time now. Ever since I stumbled across the brand on the blogs Fuller Figure Fuller Bust and Curvy Wordy, I have wanted some of their merchandise for my own.
 My first purchase from Ewa was not successful. Six years ago I ordered a few bras in a 38KK and my cups did runneth over, under, and around- a boobie tsunami! I boxed them up and returned them. But that event sparked the engines of my mind. It propelled me to start on my bra making journey.
Ewa Michalak stayed ever present in my thoughts as I drafted and redrafted for the perfect bra. One model in particular had a similar body shape and proportion. She looked fantastically gravity-defying in the EM bras. I strove to create a similar effect for myself. But it's much harder to engineer something when you are struggling without the aid of a commercial pattern, complex concepts of physics, or someone knowledgeable to bounce ideas and theories off of. I did have my mom who I completely appreciated but she was more fashion and clothing than foundation wear.
One day on Facebook, I stumbled into a bra making group Bra-makers Beginners thru Intermediate and then the group Bra Making Forum. Finally I had community! Ideas were readily exchanged. Theories discussed. Encouragement all around. But the perfect bra still eluded me. Then it happened......
Ewa Michalak debuted a new fuller cup (FB) line of their lingerie collection! Although mimicking their works was/is my ultimate goal, I was nervous about purchasing any due to my previous failure. I began to research for women who had made the plunge and had it work out for them. Penny Plunderbust's review on YouTube was the catalyst for this purchase. Everything arrived fairly quickly. The bras are well crafted and frankly marvels. And I couldn't be happier.

That first feeling of boobie weightlessness: such a relief.

Knowing that I can now buy more pretty bras with matching undies: amazing.

Looking in the mirror and finally seeing what I wanted to achieve: priceless.

Next up, BRA BREAKDOWN!
