Right? Was it ever known why she stopped making them, originally?

It's one of the first HM bras. I need the same cup size as in other bras in this style, but the fit is slightly different. The cups are extremely low. They give a very upfront and rounded shape. The support is surprising for a non-padded half cup bra. The band is standard for an EM bra, quite tight. The straps are rigid in front, strech and adjustable in back.

Enthousiastic as I was about my HM Gold I decided to order this HM Halfek Fioletowy Krokodyl. It is a discontinued model and there was only one left in stock, 65DD, which I assumed to be my size.
Bra description:
A handsome bra with cups made of soft but sturdy, completely see-through, and beautifully embroidered black mesh. The cup edges are embellished with a somewhat clunky lace and very dark purple -- what I would call aubergine -- ribbon. The collar combination is very subtle and very much 'me'. The same lace and ribbon adorn the centre gore and part of the straps. Two small black bows mark the ... points where the elastic parts of the straps start, roughly around collarbone height (the adjustable part of the straps is therefore still as good as normal length). The wings are made of a double layer of stretch mesh, the top layer sporting a tiny decorative dot pattern. All edges are finished with scalloped elastic and the elastic parts of the bra straps have decorative looped edges, which also prevent the adjusters from slipping.
Bra fit:
The cups fit quite similar to the cups of my 65DD HM Gold. The fit on my larger right breast is spot on, but the smaller left side gaps -- the clunky lace border along the cups of this bra makes this situation clearly less forgiving than is the case with the HM Gold. Worse though is that the band on this bra is MUCH stretchier than the band on the HM Gold. That one is only just tight enough for my 27"/69cm ribcage (really, I think I could go down a band size there too), but this one feels more like a regular 32/70 or a (tight-ish) 34/75 band. I'm sure it would fit someone with a 70D/DD or even 75C/D quite comfortably (the cups run large-ish in HM). When I tighten the straps the back starts riding up. Also, the straps, for some reason, aren't as comfortable as the ones on the HM Gold. Maybe that is because they are attached directly to the cups and start practically from my armpit, whereas on the HM Gold there is a small triangular piece of mesh between the cups and the straps, which effectively extends the 'armscye' ... or maybe the lace-and-ribbon straps of the HM Halfek Fioletowy Krokodyl simply aren't as smooth and comfortable against my skin in that area as the mesh and elastic of the HM Gold.
Conclusion:
Such a pity that this model runs so loose in the band as it is quite handsome and quite my style! Looking at the measurements others have given for this model I wonder whether this one is subject to a production error: none of the other sizes seem to be THIS loose and stretchy. Since this model is discontinued there's unfortunately no point in trying to exchange it for a smaller band size, so I think I'll just return it or possibly exchange it for a different model.

Such a pretty bra. I need for Ewa to make more HM styles.
