I received notice from Wellfitting that my Comexim bra shipped today.
Let's see, so I ordered ten days ago, today it shipped, hopefully soonish it arrives! (Though I'm starting to feel certain it will be too small. Oh well; I'll try again.)

Yay! I hope it works for you! :D
It might be a couple days too soon just yet. It generally takes about 2 weeks to get anything shipped from Wellfitting, but the crazy winter weather happening may delay that. You should have received tracking, though!

We need more bra brands that make bras in small band and medium cup sizes. Not everybody wears AA-B cups or E-K cups.
Experience the marriage of textural composition on the backdrop of customary architecture with the Dynasty Bra. This debut and signature piece has gained much acclaim for its unconventional construction. This is a hand-made faux leather balcony styled bra, and is ...

The two size ranges you mentioned are what lack the most. I'm not impressed. They're just adding more to the midrange, which is determined by the average. So saying not everybody wears them - yeah, but I guarantee most people fit into a B-HH range so they're just aiming at the easiest audience. And 28 back is nice but what about 28s with larger cup sizes? What about 26s? Even 24s?
My frustration is directed at companies just providing more of the same. I can't praise them for doing what they should have long ago.
I think that medium band medium cup sizes are well represented but small band medium cup sizes are not.
In small bands, you either see brands catering to AA-B cups or E-K. Many small band large cup brands start at D, but they don't scale it down properly for D, DD, and E cups. So there really is a lack of properly fitting bras for small band medium cup sizes.

It's been two years almost to the date Made in Preston launched.
Made in Preston doesn't exist anymore. The site is down, social media channels are also being closed. Their Facebook page is closed, twitter account is still up but abandoned since end of October.
If you have any returns, exchanges or refunds pending I suggest talking to your bank or PayPal.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the last we'll hear of Nikki Hesford's bust-related business ventures.

I finally ordered a Comexim Basic (170) from Wellfitting in a 65J last night, after hemming and hawing over it for months. Hopefully it fits!
Filed under Bra news
Hope it fits! I have two Comexims and love them. The material is super soft. I can't wait for their new collection to come out.
good luck! Basic and I didn't get along, but I love my other comexims.
Maybe for the spring?

It says 'coming this spring', so yeah ;)
Facebook said they'd be released mid February so probably soon. Buy one and tell us all about it?

I wish they also got criticised for a lack of smaller lingerie too. The fact is, plus size shaming exists but petite shaming exists too. I want VS to make sizes 32-38, F-J for the plus size ladies but I also want them to make sizes 28-30, A-J for the petite and petite curvy ladies.

Especially since a lot of their models look more like a 26 or even 24 band than the 32 they are probably being duck-taped into...!
If it were up to me I'd say i wish they would just disappear-- I can't take VS seriously as I find its styles really unappealing. But since I'm not the only person on earth, I agree with you it would be better if they had a more realistic size range. I know it has a lot of cultural significance and being excluded from their product range is a BIG deal to a lot of young women.
wendybien I actually don't think that most of their models are in the 26-24 band range. Maybe one or two, but it seems like on average, they are in the 28-30 band range, with maybe one or two 26 band girls and one or two 32 band girls.
I don't want them to disappear. Both of my best friends wear correctly fitted bras and one is 32C and the other is 32E. They need VS because VS provides them things that fit.

I just ordered two great bargains:
36D - Boccara » Barberry Peek-a-boo (9011)
65J - Boccara » Coralina (4512)
(the first one is completely off-sized, I will alter it)
Both costed me $2 each (talk about clearance sale, lol) and I will see how will they fit me. Boccara is a Polish brand exclusive to Intymna.pl website, so ... I am happy to be able to try these out. If they won't fit I will list them here for the price of shipping
(also, how do I categorise a cupless bra? Barberry has underwires, so it's not a soft bra, but it has no cups, so it's not a regular bra...)

I found this eBay seller that carries a wide variety of bras from Ewa Bien that range in price from $50-70. They have band sizes 30-38 and cup sizes B-K EU(I'm assuming) although most only went up to H. Just thought some ladies in that size range might be interested in checking them out as a way to try a Polish brand most of us have little access to. Since it's eBay there is also the option of returns, which is a bonus.

Do you think they have My size range?
@FoxTaylor I think EU K is the 11th cup size which would equal a UK GG I believe. The only ones I saw go up to K were the B150 and B111 Fago.

I finally talked to hubby about the bras I want, and he pointed out that v-day is coming - yes, but the prettiest bra I want is from Poland and could not get here in time!
*le sigh* Valentine's Day used to be my anniversary, until my wife of 24 years decided she wouldn't turn into a lesbian for me. That was 10 years ago. No prospects for me on the horizon, either. But I *love* Sweet's attitude!

The "How to Measure Your Bra Size" article she is linking to uses the +4/+5 method.
When I'm wearing a bra sized according to this method, it won't fit me because the band is too big and the cups are too small.
Maybe she should learn a better method before ditching brafitting altogether.
Also, from http://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/clothing/shopping-guide/how-to-measure-bra-size: "If you need to go down a cup size for fit, go up one band size, and vice versa. For example, if a 34C is too big for you, move to a 36B."
This would give me the same cup volume on a bigger band. This won't fix a too big cup size, but make everything worse and give you a bra that fits badly in every (!) single (!) way (!) possible (!).

Today a friend sent me the link to this Brastop blog post with 11 boob facts.
I'm surprised someone let this nonsense go out. Specially for a full bust bra store?!
I'm not happy that they define 8 types of nipples.. there's infinite number of nipples in my book...
And the worse offender of all, have they not ever grabbed a boob? Specially ... a D cup... on any band... 3-4Kg?? really... I 'm sure many teenage boys that would know better than that! Not that boobs cannot weight that.. but whoever copy pasted this from somewhere else, really has absolutely 0 clue.

I don't know if any of you are aware, but the site I have in the link is AMAZING! It has a lot of bras in stock that I couldn't find on amazon. I thought I'd share with you wonderful ladies! : ) There are a lot of Cleos (I snagged a Lily in an old color way in a ... 30F!), a few Masquerade bras, Panache, Sculptress, Fantasie, and Freya. If you're in the UK or in Europe, the shipping time would be fast (or so I hope). Anyway, I hope this helps you wonderful people out, since this site has a lot of reduced-price and popular bras in sizes that I commonly found sold-out through other vendors. I hope this is helpful in any way!

Ewa Michalak loves +4 and has a knee-jerk reaction against people who want smaller bands. cf. 'Strapgate'.
I'm going to have to agree with the comments to the blog from @wendybien. There's also a realm of confusion with anything she says because people are relying on google translate to be able to read her comments, and google translate is not infallible.
That said, I like her bras but do not care for her much as a person.
