Kris Line sizing?
I'm still confused about how Kris Line sizes compare to UK sizes. I just read at busenfreundinnen.net that they have switched some time ago from their own sizing (between EU and UK) to UK sizing and that a 70H in Kris Line is actually like a 32H in UK brands!?
I really want to to give their bras a try. I'm watching a 75J and a 75JJ on ebay. Now if they are really similar to UK 34J or 34JJ then the cups should fit...
Which size do you wear in Kris Line & which size do you wear in UK brands like Cleo, Panache, Freya etc. ?

I have the Kris Line Jasmine Soft Cup in 32FF and my "default" size is 30G. I ordered a band size up because I read that the bands ran tight but I didn't find it tight and probably could have gotten away with a 30G or 30GG. I'm getting a Kris Line Violette Soft Bra (6314) from a user on r/braswap in 30GG so we'll see how that goes.
Other bra sizes I wear: in Cleos I average about a 28GG, my best fitting Deco is a 28G, for Freya's half cup and longline styles I usually wear 30G (but would probably be better of in 28GG). For Ewa Michalak so far: 65G (30G) in the CHP models, 65GG (30GG) for the S models and 70FF (32FF) for the PL models.
Part of why Bratabase exists is actually this, you cannot trust one company doing sizing like another company. The way to go is by measurements because they might match at some point, but their steps to increase sizes might be different. (Like two lines intersecting with different slopes)
From what I've seen in Kris Line labels, they only do one cup sizing independent from country (http://www.bratabase.com/browse/kris-line/size-range/) but I remember hearing that they go by the 2cm instead of 1" jumps.. so that will throw you off to any comparison :S
I think cellosubmarine had some experience with this bras and that they run small in the cup.
