So I have been looking at all these polish bra eye candy that people have been sharing so lovely . Nicer than the handful of plain bras I normally get to choose from now the big question how the Heck do you figure out what size ?
I have read reviews some say upsize ,down size ,tall cups wide straps and been to the brand's size charts too all I have done is confused myself . I have compared my bras measurements to some random ew bras and comexim ones and the sizing is all over the place of course my bras are unpadded and most of the polish bras are and I have zero clue on how the depth changes for this or for plunge etc .
I just know I now want :) of course having never worn anything like them it's a bit daunting to think about ordering without trying on . Any advice ?

I am pretty short at 5'2 most bras fit like a full cup and many come up to my collar bone almost as it is so I wouldn't want to tall and if the cup is tall I tend to not fill it as I am pretty soft having lost weight , very projected and pendulous , center full but they are rowdy and like to escape anyway possible underarm ,underband ,through lace holes you get the idea . My best fit is a panache envy in a 30jj it's a bit shallow at the bottom and stabbing in the Gore the band and underwires gets pushed down beneath my ribs after a bit nearly all bras do this .

so can anyone give me a starting point ?

  • I personally have gone on the sites and looked at their sizing charts. I take my band size (in this case I use 30, instead of 28), and I take my bust measurement and find their corresponding size. So my bust measurement is 88cm (every site use cm instead of inches). I look in the 65 band category, and see where the 88cm is. From what I remember it's usually in the f or g sizes (it mostly comes up as F though).
    However, having said that, I also don't really know what the depth is I would need in a padded bra, as I mostly wear unlined bras. From what I see, I think the depth in padded is going to be less than the depth of unlined,
    I ordered 1 comexim in size 65f (going based on the size wellfitting put me in), but 65dd in Ewa CHP. I was told I could do 65dd or 65e in Ewa CHP, but I chose to go with the smaller size because it's reported to be open on top.
    Hopefully this helps.

  • I take my regular UK size in ewa. But some people go up a cup especially in her padded bras, especially in larger sizes. I take one cup size up from my normal UK size in comexim. If youre between band sizes you'll want to choose the larger one for either brand. You can always order from zathiya or braobsessed to try out sizes, since it's easier to return to them than poland.
