Dominik strikes again.
So, if emailing from the website can't get me an answer, what should I do? Facebook post? Who answers the Facebook posts? Someone besides Dominik? Here's the email string:
My email on the form on the EM website:
I have found the 36JJ band too tight on the S Porcelanka. If I order the bra in 38J will it have the same wires? I do not want to have wider wires, as the wire on the 36JJ is already a bit wider than I need. I\'m wondering if it would be better to order the larger band size or wear the 36 with an extender?
Thank you,
Erin
To me from Sklep Ewa Michalak:
Hi,
Was that bra good in cup?

My response:
Yes, the cup fits fine. I just want to make sure the wires are exactly the same in the larger band/smaller cup combination. Otherwise, I'll just order another 36 and alter it to lengthen the band.
Thank you,
Erin
His answer:
Hi,
If cup is bigger wire has to be bigger.

Okay, first, I said the cup was fine - WHY would I order a larger cup??? AND I gave him the sizes: 36JJ vs 38J. AND I asked a specific question. Does he know ANYTHING about bras?
Where/who should I ask? I just want to make sure if I order a 38J that the wire will not be wider and cup shallower because I know some bra companies grade like that for larger band sizes, which makes sense, because a 38 body is a bit wider than a 36 body. But I've read here that Ewa's grading isn't quite like other companies. I think I'll just order a 36 and alter it. That would be easier than trying to get an answer from him and feeling it's an ACCURATE answer. At this point, I'd question anything he said - and on a $50 bra (plus shipping) from Poland, that's too much of a risk.

I thought wires were supposed to be the same between sister sizes in EM, but I have a 65K PL Milady and a 70JJ PL Black, and the wires on the PL black are wider and higher in the gore. I don't know if the same is true of S bras, or within the same model. I will find out soon because I ordered a 70J S so I did not have to deal with custom orders... if the wires do end up being wider, I should have just dealed with the hassle because my wires are already verging on too wide.
mtblankus, the wires should be identical. Ewa Michalak does use pure sister sizing so the difference between a 36JJ and a 38J will only be in the band. However, as they are so random you will not know what you'll get until you have it in your hands.
EllenMcisaac, was your Ewa Michalak Pl Black (64) and your Ewa Michalak Pl Milady (330) manufactured at the same time? I know there has been some changes the last couple of years, I think they might have switched wire manufacturer etc, and I know that the old PL bras not necessarily fits the same as the new ones (but the changes should be quite minor, but be exactly what you describe, some changes in center gore height and minor changes in wire width.
I'm a couple of cup sizes smaller than you at a 60JJ/60K but I've sister sized my way down to a 85G fro ma 60JJ and tried every band size inbetween and the cups have been _identical_ apart from in my quite old EM bras, which was cut slightly differnetly.
