too small!
you don't need to sacrifice fit for cleavage! especially with Curvy Kate =)

I had much the same response when I suggested that the Freya Deco Halfcup should go above F cup. The general gist of the answer is that 'higher cup sizes do not require the freya deco half cup'. Useless!

I tried Urkye =D very very good so far, arrived within a week (UK). I'm UK size 8 curvy hips and slim waist, 26G/GG or sometimes 28FF/G (altered) bust. The 34 O/OO fit me very well nice and tight under the bust to give some extra definition to my waist =) no more sizing up in "normal" clothes for me!

Thankyou =) this cleared some things up for me. And yes, I often do have to wear a bra that is actually larger than my measurements depending on the style. I think the "Magic Blue" runs tight in the band so this is where ill start =)

awesome idea =)!

I run Dimpsey Bra fit =) www.dimpseybrafit.blogspot.co.uk

"This is a blog for the discussion of bigger bras for girls of slight frame.
I am trying to give a voice to ladies whose underbust measurement is small, but cup size is bigger and therefore not considered commercially viable by most lingerie companies... 26, 28 and 30 DD+ (and beyond!) commentary abound!"

Hello =) I am in a similar situation as your sister, being 22 and still growing (so being quite... abstaining from buying new bras) however, I have found that yes Missfit UK, Big Bra Bar and Ewa-Michalak all have 26inch underbands =) and also, the 'Rixie Clip' (found most easily on facebook) is able to tighten bands further so it might open up the 28/30 inch market for her. Hope this helps x

Parfait by Affintias often run small in the band =) is suggest the 'Charlotte' or 'Kelly'

With my recent trial of a PL bra, my boobs were 'suddenly' pointy but also compressed against my chest and double busting (quadraboob!) everywhere. In this case, the bra was much to small =) I never have 'pointy' shaped chest so I would recommend going up in the cup size (or two!) or perhaps try the CHP version which is a mix between the CH and PL, I am led to believe.

Peggyko may I enquire into the nature of your back pain? I have allot of arthritic problems and because of this I have to have the underband spot on, or any pressure on my shoulders aggravates this effect. I have found that firmer (strange I know!) and thicker straps help greatly with my problems. Have you tried Ewa-Michalak? Some of their bras have comfort straps which are padded and thicker =)

I agree with ignoring the calculator on the Ewa site, if you're unsure just ask customer service, and/or order your UK size =) they were very kind with me in offering size advice (even so, I got it to small, but I know for sure now what to go for) - on top of this, I don't think the bands run smaller than uk bands, its just that they are firm and true to size. Some of the larger cups (I am speculating FF and above) and some of the styles (CH for example, as compared to PL) do SEEM to have stretchier bands that some of the other Ewa sizes/styles so keep this in mind when you order. x

often they like to call it "Bridge" for centre gore =) hope that helps x
