Anyone remembers my rants about bras not having 3x3 hook closure im larger sizes? Being offended by cheap 2x3 or even 1x3 and thin bands?
When I checked Bravissimo website I noticed that apparently newer models from Elomi have now 3x3 hook closure in ALL SIZES!

Yay!!! They were quick, I have not even made up my mind which one I want!
I assume those that only have a few sizes left in menue they won't make anymore... since my size is custom order anyway...

Who else is excited for some good discounts? Which brands do you hope will do a good sale?
I hope Comexim sale will be good because I need some bras.
If Ewa Michalak does a sale I would like to try a PLM or PLP bra.

I'm not sure if Ewa does sales anymore? I think the best deals (when buying direct) is to go to her "Outlet section" https://www.ewa-michalak.pl/eng_m_OUTLET-124.html which I just noticed doesn't even have any bras listed a.t.m.
otherwise, you have to go to stores that sell Ewa and have sales. E.g., Levana bratique, et. all. https://www.reddit.com/r/PolishBras/comments/qkxbdg/where_to_purchase_ewa_michalak_bras_in_america/
After I've lost some weight (on purpose, lol) I'm back *fitting into my old sizes in EM* Now I understand why some women own 30- 35+ Ewa Michalak bras. For my body type, breast shape, etc. the fit is amazing! I love wearing my Ewa Michalak BM bras - which I first bought like 3 years ago, but gained weight (so I didn't get much use out of them).
Comexim traditionally has a black Friday sale. Pro tip is to get your order in early. The earlier you submit the order during a sale day, the quicker you will get your order. If you wait until the last day, last hour (like I usually do 'cause I can't make up my mind), then you're last on the list. So you kind of have to think about what you want early.
No I have not seen any sales from Ewa in a while. Also have not bought from them in years. I am very interested in their PLP / PLM styles because I look for a bra with a low gore ( too close set for balconettes) that also has tall cups. Kinda impossible to find with the regular brands and if I see one it's either not a real plunge in my size but more of a balconette or has 1 or 2 hook closure I hate.
I can't wear BM, the gore kills me. I gained half a cup size so I think I need to go up to 75L in comexim. Just need a bit more width and height in my cup...
Will do my comexim WL and buy if price is right.

Thanks for the heads up. I've bought this week so hopefully they arrive in September. Haven't received any order or shipping confirmation which is a bit worrying.
I feel like I hit the lottery 🥳
Miseczki is the 💣
Fingers crossed these are better than the comexim!
Hopefully miseczki will get more bras in soon because they're out of like everything 🤦♀️ it is a legit company though. They only carry polish brands of bras but no matching panties. Both of my orders shipped today after placing one Friday and the other yesterday (I think?) so it's pretty fast shipping.
(Guess I post this in bra news because this is news?)

Check out their website. Most bras are lower in price than usual. I had no idea any sale was going on. I just ordered the Comexim Elena Plunge Bra (315) and when I checked out I noticed the total price was as low as the bra itself. So I checked again if they forgot to add shipping but ... no, the bra is currently around 130zl (was 160zl) and the basic is 142zl (was 175zl) ... other bras seem to be lower in price too. I'm happy I waited a few days. I was fully prepared to order at full price.

You're right`!
Sofia's only 95 zloty! Steal!
Edit: I think it's only 3 sales bras though https://comexim.pl/pl/promocje
At least in my region. I'm in the US (or at least, my VPN is, lol).
EDIT: and it looks like it's just certain sizes, too.

Thanks for the notice Alisa, Of course the lowest wouldn't have anything like 60Q/R why would it. Looks like I might have 2 options to ask for smaller bands and bigger volume? They were wonderful about my last request to custom +2 sizes up in cup volume while lowering cup height but I'm so side heavy lowering only the outer side really didn't help at all (this still makes inner breast pull east/west to the outer side). I AUGH so much over the shittiness that having a short wide shape can't be fixed with a reduction. I guess it's just continually scoop/descoop titty off the the wires now, forever.

I just went to Comexims website and my whole order history and wishlist is gone. Now I see there is a new design. I can still log into my account but it's empty. Did this happen to anyone else?
Also btw many bras are 20% off now!

Yes, it happened to me too! My previous order disappeared after the website design was updated. And I JUST had my new Comexims delivered two days ago! Can’t believe there’s a sale now :’-)
Oh so then it' s on them with the deleted data.. I was unsure if I did something when logging in.
I am tempted to buy more bras now.

Fingers crossed for my Avocado Josephine order! Again, I used my measurements and their chart rather than the conventional chart.
Filed under Bra news
(not affiliated with her brand, just a big enthusiast)
Ewa soft launched (quietly released) a few of the Spring novelties she’s been hinting at on her social media platforms. These are the Arabeska and Elegancik- two light, peachy, lacy colorways with new patterns for almost all of the designs she sells. Arabeska comes in S, PL, BM, PLM, and FB-PL, with ... corresponding matching briefs and thongs. Elegancik comes in PLM, BML, and FB-PL- again, along with a matching thong and brief. I honestly couldn’t tell much of a difference between these 2 colour ways, they are both light pink/peach, it is just the lace overlay that differentiates them. Overall I’m excited to see what else she has to offer for the spring season!! But I have yet to find a novelty that will break the bank…

It’s a bummer that it’s such a small selection right now though!
I know! It's a start though! Maybe they're just checking to see how they sell.

I submitted a provisional patent for a bra sizing system that goes off user measurements in the metric system (for more precision), uses measurements transparently, allows for a third measurement to distinguish chest versus breast, and has sister sizes that don't drift an inch with every step.
So my measurements:
Above bust - 91 cm
Leaning bust (at 90deg from upright) - 97 ... cm
Under bust - 77 cm
Would translate to a standard size of:
77 +20 (or 77 : +20, colon optional but useful if a brand finds itself offering negative sizes)
Or an enhanced size of:
14+ 77 +20 (or 14+ : 77 : +20)
Immediate sister sizes would be:
15+ 76 +21 (down in under bust or base metric, up in above bust or frame metric, up in leaning bust or cup metric)
13+ 78 +19 (up in under bust size, down in both above and leaning bust sizes)
Obviously this doesn't address all the issues we have with bras, but it makes it a lot closer to a user based system that is universal between brands (instead of having you add 0-5 inches to your bust or above bust and wondering what size difference the letter actually corresponds to). For issues with closeness/wideness, breast root width, and other factors, manufacturers can publish that data and be transparent to their customers.
If you know of any bra makers or companies who would like to add this to their sizing offerings, please let me know!

I am confused what this is for? And what does the 14,13, and 15 mean? What does the 3 ratios stand for? I don’t mean to come off as rude, I’m actually just really curious as to what you mean because I don’t think I understand you.
I think the best method is just to take two measurements, one across the bust wearing your best-fitting (hopefully non-padded) bra! And then a second measurement - the band measurement - with the tape as tight as you like to wear your band. This the way most European brands recommend taking measurements. I.e., this is the website for Polish brand, Gaia. https://www.gaia.com.pl/tabela/
Unfortunately, there's a lot of sales gimmicks out there.
In my observations, I think the worst calculator out there (in proper bra sizing, so not + 4) is the "six measurements" calculator; the one positive thing I can say is - at least they're not doing "plus 4" but there's too many people who report being several cup sizes off. It's like, why are you sending women down a "wild goose chase" unnecessarily! SEe this post from this woman who tried on 250 different bras because the "six measurements" calculator gave her the wrong size by three cup sizes. In addition it gave her the wrong band size as well.

A couple of months ago, I picked up a bra that seemed to do the job just fine. It wasn't a perfect match for my breast shape – designed more for those who are even or slightly fuller on top – but the 34DD size seemed to fit well enough. However, today, when I decided to wear it again after ... a month's break, something felt off. It was as if the bra was pressing below my Inframammary Fold (IMF) when I bent down or hunched slightly. It left me puzzled because initially, it used to dig in a bit, but it never ventured below the IMF.
I couldn't help but wonder if I had just started noticing this issue, or if it had been there all along, unnoticed. To gain more clarity about my bra size, I turned to the "abrathatfits" calculator, which recommended a 34DD/E.
It's intriguing how bras and our bodies can play tricks on us, making what was once comfortable suddenly feel awkward. Perhaps this newfound knowledge about my potential bra size will lead me to a more comfortable and flattering fit in the future.
Then I also bought a bra from the brand Curvy Diva Lingerie, which satisfied me with the fitting, but I wanted to know if anyone had used this brand before.

There isn't much info on Curvy Diva Lingerie , only 4 bras right now. Curiously added by a user with the same name.
In my experience, brands that specialize in the sexy/kink area, aren't the best in regards to bra fitting purposes.
I did a quick browse through their website offerings and none of the bras seem to be particularly focused on cup fit. Another symptom is their cup sizes range from A to DD so it's not a huge offering to catter many body shapes.
You'll find that too many people that's been fitted in DD cups are usually F or bigger cups that only had to wear DDs because it was the biggest at their store, so they compensated with increasing band size.
All in all, go for it if you like this look and style, but many factors around this don't seem to be a brand that I'd recommend for someone that needs a properly fitting bra.
On my paypal (USA) there is currently a 5% cashback offer for orders on Bare Necessities from now to the 15th if you pay through paypal. screenshot: https://files.catbox.moe/9f66g4.png

Understance is looking for testers for sizes 26D-H (US). Reddit post:

If you're a 26 band (or otherwise outside of their current size range), here's their extended sizing waitlist:

I filled out the form last week, had a zoom call this week, and will hopefully get a sample in about a month or two. Very curious to see what it'll be like! Especially since I had no hope of wireless bras since Lara Intimates disappeared.

This is cool, and I hope it works out for you and the brand, but I've really gotta recommend Molke to you if you're looking for a wireless bra in a 26 band!
I’m glad they’re getting the word spread out! I personally tried their Zoe in 26H and felt it wasn’t projected enough for me (I’m on the smaller end of 26FF). It fit best when I didn’t swoop and scoop. I’m not sure if trying in 26I would solve the issue; I just think they need to make more projected cups. But for a user I talked to who has more wide, shallow breasts, she really loved it!

I still haven't found my dream bra but I have time. I wear wireless bras until I find better because comfort. I fell in love with Warner's cloud 9 because it was made with Nylon and Elastane and is full coverage, the only con was 34 is the smallest band size so I wear it on the tightest hook as ... I am a 32D/30E. They got rid of it and started selling the design in Polyester and Elastane. The comfort went down a lot but pills less and is probably more affordable I'm guessing due to the fact that the price went down too... depending on where you got it. All I know is that both versions were sold at the same time at one point, but not usually at the same place. Department stores sold the Nylon one for 40ish and the polyester one you would find at walmart for 15 and still you can find it from 15-20 dollars or pay extra to buy it at at department store for 40 as it "replaced the original" even though it's not worth that. I find that it claims it's original price to be 42 but is marketed "on sale" for 20 or 25 or as part of a buy one get one type sale at any given time by department stores. Anyway Victoria's Secret Incredible push up bra surprised me. I have tried some of theirs in the past and was not satisfied but this one is making me wonder if the original is also good. I've been looking for a wireless push up as well for a long time and found one I can wear long hours and still be comfortable.

I would suggest that you take some good quality photos of yourself in your best non-padded bra and hear what more long-term folks have to say. It can be a normalizing experience and break some thought patterns you have of your body enough so that you can open up your thinking into buying the bras that you need not the ones you think you need. Go slow on the buying process! Measure your bras, measure yourself..... do it again. And have a look at photos of real people here at bratabase in bras of a size for you. Cheap bras do not cut it. Done with advice! Good luck on your bra journey.
