• You can do searches for those codes and you'll see what their names are:

  http://www.bratabase.com/search/?q=2801 is the Parfait By Affinitas Casey (2801)

  http://www.bratabase.com/search/?q=5921 is the Parfait By Affinitas Tamara Half Padded Bra (5921)

  I'd recommend you add the bras and measure them before returning, then when you get the new one you will be able to objectively compare how were they different and know what you need to look for and avoid on your future bras.

I'm so unbelievably done with Curvy Kate's bs

First not taking women who have undergone plastic surgery on their breasts for star in a bra, then counting a lumpectomy as breast enhancement, and now this?

I cannot believe Curvy Kate’s audacity to outright...

• i agree that it was awful, but this particular incident was from quite some time ago in january 2013. curvy kate did give a half assed apology both on FB and directly to the artist, but i dont think they really understood why everyone was upset. they just thought it was a plagiarism issue, they never seemed to realize that it was an issue with how they twisted the message into something so opposite :(

• Ugh. Now if they would send me the one I ordered last time, I'd have a better idea of my size and might actually get more.

  Silly Zulily.

• Yep. Mine was supposed to be shipped Friday, but is still 'in transit to zulily'. I'm almost certain it won't ship for another week at least. Good luck!

• Kiss me deadly is the only company I've come across that takes off VAT. The VAT amount should be listed on your receipt, and there is a process to get refunded. I've never tried it, though, so I can't say exactly how much of a hassle it is.

• I buy mostly from France, which used to be (and perhaps still is) the world's top tourist destination by numbers so there is more awareness there of the VAT thing. Even small brick and mortar stores that also sell online, often offer an option whereby you can register yourself as an overseas customer and then you can either remove the VAT at checkout, or in some cases their site automatically shows all the prices without VAT. I've seen some UK retailers do the same, mostly high fashion type businesses. I feel like Lingerie Addict, where the focus is more on luxury lingerie, may have an abundance of Western European and/or very high-end brands on their books--so this represents the bulk of their experience and these are also the brands most likely to take care of VAT for you. Small mom n pop businesses may not deal with it and perhaps Poland, whcih is just now emerging as an export player thanks to its fashion production, is also late to the game.

• Yeah, this is how I ordered my first comexim way back. It was less stressful since the return address is in CA, rather than Poland, and I did have to exchange it...and then sold the exchange, only to - many months later - find out the basic runs half a cup small and there was my issue. At the time, their calculator was way, way off, but they've since fixed it with help from the ladies over at A Bra That Fits.

  In the end, ordering direct from comexim gives you more options and lands notably cheaper, but wellfitting is awesome when you don't know your sizing, or are worried that you might need to return.

• They use different names for a few models that Comexim does in polish. They also have a couple of exclusive models and most importantly (to me) different labels than straight Comexim.

Swedish lingerie blog

Dear bratabasers!
I couldn't find any swedish lingerie blog (that wasn't run for business purpose), so I started my own! http://mademoisellek.blogg.se
It's mainly in swedish, but with english translation at the bottom as I thought this could perhaps offer a bit of insight in nordic brands like Change lingerie and the the swedish/nordic bra fitting climate.

Please feel free to ... come up with suggestions on how to improve or what you'd like to see.
I am not a pro in bra fitting, but I am experimenting to find my size and the blog will reflect this.

Thank you for this fantastic community that is Bratabase!

Britney's Lingerie Line

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Britney Spears's new line of lingerie actually has some DD+ options. Their size range appears to be 30 - 38 C - D + FF, 30 - 42 DD - E, 30 - 40 F, 30 - 36 G, and 30 - 34 GG. I'm excited to see what they will bring to market as far as shape, aesthetic (which I'm not too terribly fond of currently, but the anemone cage bra seems alright), and possible expansion of their size range.

• Hmm. I can't shop at barenecessities.com 'cuz they have a float-y popup thing that won't go away. Probably good I can't browse. My bra budget has blown up this Fall. lol
