Can anyone with EM experience help me?
I'm thinking of making the plunge and buying my first Ewa Michalak bra but am a little bit lost on what size to get. I was looking at the S and CHP styles. I'm not sure if I should just convert my band size and use the same cup size or if I should use the calculator on the site.
I generally wear a 32J with the following measurements:
Tight underbust: 29.5 in
Loose underbust: 31.5 in (this isn't quite loose, but is how I'd want my band to fit)
Leaning forward measurement: 45 in
These measurements give me a 75H on EM's calculator online, as opposed to a 70J by just converting the band size. Which do you think would be a better starting point?

I wore a 32J in panache (floris and envy) when I first started wearing EMs. My first order, I bought 70J - Ewa Michalak » Sm Fiolecik (642) and 70HH - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Beżowa Perła (533) . The 70HH was way too small in the cups . . but the 70J was way too small in the band! However, I can still fit the 70J with an extender, even tho I grew a bit.
I have started ordering 75 bands just to be safe. Well, except I ordered one more 70 and it, too, was ridiculously small. BUT . . . there are 4 rows of hooks and her bras are slow to stretch, so usually its safe to go up a size - but . . i think your ribcage is smaller than mine.
Does CHP come that big now? In S you do want to go up a cup size.
I did grow some between these two purchases, but look:
75J - Ewa Michalak » S Eden (730)
75JJ - Ewa Michalak » S Granatowa Pantera
dbmamaz The CHP stops at a GG I believe, but it looks like there are some that can definitely be custom ordered in a J cup and some that don't specify what custom sizes she'll do, so if I wanted one of those I figured I could at least ask.
Zathiya has an S Colette in a 75HH I'm thinking about ordering since they do free returns so I can send it back if it doesn't fit (it seemed easier than ordering directly for my first one). Do you think that would possibly fit or do you think it would be definitely too small in the cup?
