EM Nursing Bras and Sizing?
I would really like to get one of Ewa's nursing bras, probably the Biszkopty since it would function like a nude t-shirt bra for me (I hope). I have one EM bra and I really like it, it's the Mojito in plunge style in 75GG/34GG. This size seems correct to me, especially since 34GG is also what I wear in Panache and other brands, but I've read so many reviews that EM bras are inconsistent I worry my plunge bra is a fluke! I did try a few other sizes of EM from Zathiya before I settled on 75GG (an 80GG and 85G I think, both were huuuuuge in the band and cup). Most people seem to wear a different size in the Polish brands than their UK size, but mine are exactly the same... it makes me suspicious.
So, what say you, Bratabasers? Should I go ahead and order straight from EM's site (cheaper, takes 4-6 weeks, realistically I won't bother returning) or from somewhere like Levana Bratique (US-based so quicker, offers returns/exchanges, costs about $12 more plus whatever I might spend in return shipping)? How much should I trust Ewa's sizing? Have I just read too many reviews and I need to stop dithering and buy one? I have a million boring nursing bras already, so time isn't really a vital factor, I'm just impatient for a pretty one.

If you can find your size in stock in the US in a nursing bra, welll, i'd try that. but if they are going to have to order it from poland for you, I dont see it being worth it?
also, are you already nursing, or are you pregnant? Because your boobs will grow again when the milk comes in . . .
My "baby" is 14 months old and is down to nursing twice a day. I don't get engorged any more, thank god. The size is pretty set at this point - I've been nursing continuously for about 3.5 years now, and I just decided I couldn't wear my old nursing bras (the "stretchy beige tarp" variety) for another day or I'd go mad.
I have loads of pretties to wear during the week when I'm at work, but I still want a nursing bra for the weekends when I'm at home.
And that's a good point about the ordering from Poland for me - I should've clarified, Levana has my size in stock, or at least their website heavily implies it: it is NOT one of the sizes that says "ships in 6-8 weeks."
I'm just internally debating which I want more: to save $12 or to get it right away. :P
