Bra fitting help » What is the right Ewa Michalak size for me? (Part 2)
Ewa Michalak » Pl Violet (165) » 65FF 30:8
Issue resolved
Based on the advice I got here and elsewhere, I reordered the PL Violet in size 70G, and also ordered HP Cielus in 65GG and CHP Kurczak in 65GG (as I feel those styles will be more flattering and fit well for my build). That is two cup sizes up for all of the bras, as I feel the bras were similarly sized in the cups-- I will update the reviews based on what fit. I won't know for a few more weeks if this will solve my fit issue or not, but I'm hopeful! Thank you for your help.
Original problem
This is the other bra that is close to the right size, but doesn't quite fit-- Ewa Michalak PL Violet in size 60FF. The band is quite tight, but still comfortable in this bra, however the cup overflow is not working for me at all, and the quad boob effect gets worse the longer I wear it without adjustment. The straps are adjusted to the proper length in these pictures.
Any advice? Thank you!

The band might stretch out, so I'd stick with that, but I'd say go up two cup sizes- your Eveden/Panache size is a good place to start, but apparently the PLs run a little small? I'd try a 65G in for most EM bras and a 65GG for the PL bras, but I admit I'm not basing this on anything besides your size in other bras and the degree of overflow you are getting.

Sorry that wasn't more helpful- I am leery of ordering the HM style myself because I have soft tissue after weight loss as well! I hope up a band works out for you in the Violet, it's such a flattering color!

Faustineli, it was very helpful and I appreciate the suggestion! Thank you! I'm going to mark this issue as solved, since I already placed another Ewa order, without an HM style this time since I'm not sure that style will suit my build.
Thanks for the suggestion! Based on fit, I think the PL and the HM styles felt to me like they ran equally small in the cup, contrary to what I had read elsewhere. I'm concerned my breasts just aren't firm enough after the weight loss for the HM style to be flattering. The band of the HM was much more stretchy compared to the PL, and when comparing maximum stretch (absolutely the farthest stretch possible), the PL Violet was only just barely the size of my ribcage (29.25 inches) at full stretch, which explains why it felt tight.
Since I actually am reordering the PL Violet and now I know that it runs quite small, I think I might go up a band size.
