Anyone who can help me?
Hi, I have the Panache sports bra in 28e which is too small for me in the cups and recently I ordered it in 28ff based on recommendations in the fit request I posted, it turned out to be too big in the cups. Basically, this makes me believe a 28f would be perfect. Anyway, I'm returning the 28ff tomorrow and it'll get back to Figleaves. I'm contemplating whether I should exchange it or just return it and buy it cheaper WITH NO SHIPPING COST from another well-known lingerie website(I'm not giving away which website it is, I'm afraid someone will snatch the 28f I want!). I figured it could be a good idea since this bra most likely will fit me! I'm pretty convinced about doing this but here's the ACTUAL "problem":
I have NO everyday bra what so ever that fits me comfortably nor in the right size. The best one I have right now that doesn't torture me completely is a 34d which is terribly too loose around the back and it has other fit issues too, but really it's the best one I've got. Needless to say, I have to buy everyday bras too! I'm thinking about the Freya Lacey and I've had my eyes on it before. I found it very difficult to estimate what size would be probable for me. Could you please help me? I have looked at the measurements for various sizes in the Freya Lacey but I would be so happy if you could help me determine a probable size.
My boobs measure 88 cm without a bra on, with the tape measure pulled as tightly as possible on the fullest part without cutting into the boob tissue. The measurement for each individual breast is 23 cm when I bend over. I have very high on chest boobs and they are very full on top as well. They're close set and I have a narrow root. Shape-wise, do you think this bra will suit me? I'm having a hard time deciding if I should go for 28e, 28f or 28ff! As always... It's so hard! If some of you nice ladies could help me I'd be so thankful!

So I stalked you a bit to see what's up, and apparently it's your boobs! Way way up! :)
With so high on chest and full on top boobies I would say freya isn't the way to go. It would probably cut into you at the top and/or kill your armpits.
The bras I think could work for you are all cleo's except for lucy (and lucy would work if you alter the gore), panache andorra and maybe some newer versions of panache ariza with lower underwires.
And Ewa Michalak for sure.
Sizes in those are all over the place, so if you tell me the particular bra (and color!) you are interested in, I could narrow the size down for you :)
I would be interested in Panache Cleo bras actually, many of them are very pretty :) My main concern though with Cleo has been my previous attempt with Panache Tango II plunge and balconette(I know that's not Cleo and that the fit might be different) which didn't go so well. The band was huge in a size 28" and it felt all too big to be supportive at all. I got discouraged from trying more of Panache's different branded bras after that. Are the Tango II bras especially loose compared to other bands? I'm hesitant about ordering from Ewa Michalak before I have become more experienced in the bra matrix, I wanna feel more confident when ordering what my probable size would actually be. As of today I feel extremely insecure what would suit me since I have never successfully purchased a bra with good fit before.
I have actually had the Freya Antoinette in 28F and as I recall it the bra killed my armpits(I was very sore there and red), it would gape throughout the day after I had swooped and scooped(it wouldn't stay in the cups since the wires wires probably were too wide and the overall cup construction was too wide, I would've needed a smaller cup with the same volume!) and it didn't feel comfortable. I have problems with the wires being too wide in almost every bra I have ever had and the straps are ALWAYS too far out.
