So, I'm trying to gauge my size in Ewa Michalak before ordering my very first bra from them, and I'm curious how accurate their online sizing calculator is. When I plug my measurements into the calculator (66.5 tight underbust, 78.5 VERY loose, and 99 overbust), it spits out 65F. I'm definitely not polish-size savvy, but I'm skeptical here. I typically wear 28G/GG in UK brands (mostly Cleo). I feel like I'd bust out of an F cup, unless the cup sizes are just totally different. My comfortable underbust is 72cm, and that rather than my loose measurement gives me 65G as a rec, for some reason. Why change the cup and not the band for a smaller ribcage???

  • Both Ewa and Comexims online calculators are garbage. It's best to just look at measurements on here. In a 28G/GG in UK, you'd want to start with 65FF/G in Ewa. Her bands are a crapshoot. A lot of people size up in her padded bras. If you want to bother with a custom order, you could try 60G/GG. I'm a 28FF and take a 60G in the S Colette. I'd suggest 60GG/65G for you in S and CHP. Jaime at Bra Obsessed and Aisha at Zathiya are great for advice regarding EM & Comexim. And their markup on EM bras is minimal & they're easier to deal with than Ewa directly IMO.

  • I also wear a 28g/gig in UK sizes with similar under bust measurements to you. I've found the S and CHP cuts I'm a 60H, and in the SM I'm a 65G, so one cup smaller and one band larger. Take this with a grain of salt, however, as I've only tried a handful of EWas and they do seem to vary by model slightly.
