  So I couldn’t find a Comexim that was the right combo of width/height/depth. Also center full and shirt roots. My best fit in Ewa Michalak is the BM. The Pl was weird on my body thought it looks great on everyone else I’ve seen. I could make the SF work but the as for technical fit and comfort BM was the best. I did go with an 80DD instead of my usual 34E (80E). If you’re in the US Levana Bratique carries some styles/sizes for easier returns

  Hello

  So, I find the PL to have wider wires comparatively. The style doens't have much centre room in the cup, but due to the low gore can accommodate centre fullness due to the room for cleavage. I find the S shape is too open / unsupported at the top and so it feels as though my breast tissue is moving and is at risk of falling out even though I know this isn't true as the bra is the correct size and there's no overspill. This is due to a full on top shape which you look like you share from the Comexim photos above.

  I like both the BM shape and the newer SF shape in terms of accommodating and containing tissue securely. I used to wear the SM, but the BM has that additional stretch in the upper cup which has a little more grace in terms of adapting to the wearer's body rather than the other way round!

  I prefer the SF for the level of coverage; the bottom sections have a stiffer material which gives the illusion of more padding. (it's not a padded bra, but is sturdier than the BM shape. I think at your size, I would start with the SF shape.

  There is also the FB shape, which starts at a J cup I believe. I do not personally have any experience with this shape, but it has been designed specifically for narrow, heavy busts.

  Given your bust shape, I suspect you may struggle to find bras at bravissimo which fit; I know I do! I also have very dense, centre full tissue with next to no space between for a gore. Good luck with your search!

  I'd try a Gorsenia. More center space than Ewa Michalak and Comexim. The primary difference for me is the distance at the base of the gore. Gorsenia is narrower than the two aforementioned brands. Best wishes!

  I only have one Ewa Michalak (so far). Mine is the SF style. You probably want to go up 1 cup size, and the band is pretty firm to start. The Comexim Whimsy also works for me (I think it’s the one unpadded Comexim on Breakout Bras), but you’ll probably want to go up 2 cup sizes.

  I saw some Kris Line recently on brastop.com. I don’t have any personal experience, but I’ve seen people recommend going up a cup there also. The only bummer is I think you have to return ship to the UK.

  ETA: I got my Ewa from levanabratique.com, and they were very helpful over email beforehand with suggestions for styles and sizes, based on some input from me.

  • OK folks, I got my Ewa Michalak haul from levanabratique.com! LadyNoName , confused , and cbear your advice was super helpful. I think the BM and SF could both work for me, but the SF seems to be a better shape, less pointy than the BM and so beautifully round and up front!

    Unfortunately I'm shooting in the dark since I don't know my size in any brand (haven't owned any underwires for about 6 years). The cup sizes I tried (J, JJ, and K with both 70 and 75 bands) were all too big, wrinkling across the top of the cup. The kicker, though, was that the sides of all the bras came up painfully high and jabbed me in the armpit.

    The bands do seem to run tight. I can wear a 70 but there are horizontal wrinkles on the band when I wear it on the loosest hook, so I'll look at 75s from now on.

    Since the 70J was too big in the cup, I figure I'll try 75H and 75GG next. Hopefully the wires will be shorter? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • I’m sorry they didn’t quite work! I think you’re on the right track, but yes, try a smaller cup. I think I may go up in the band next time with EM myself. I can wear my 75, but it’s a little too tight if I have it on for a full day. At least you’re not escaping out the middle?

    I saw the comment about Gorsenia, but I’m not familiar with Gorsenia personally. I’d be interested to see how it compares.

    Thanks LadyNoName ! Absolutely, I was so happy to fit in the cup in the middle. I jumped up and down and had to run and tell my partner, I was so excited 😂

    I'll for sure make a post if I get my hands on a Gorsenia (same for Kris Line).
