Polish Brands and the Fear of the Unknown
So obviously, today I'm having a lot of free time, since I'm doing nothing but looking for bras. I think I'm overwhelmed by all the obscure, unknown Polish brands, that nonetheless, I'd love to try. The newly discovered (for me) Vena, the Samanta A333 and Gorsenia half cups I've wanted to try for ages, the Ewa Bien padded bras that I think are really really beautiful... But it's like I'm afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone. Since I've found my holy grail cuts, Ewa Michalak's PL and CH (and some CHP), I just don't experiment anymore. I only buy a different brand if I'm looking for a boudoir bra. If not, I stick to what I know. My last 'risky' experiment was over a year ago, when I tried Japanese bras, but that was only because I went bra-shopping in Japan, tried the bras in person, and when I returned to my country, decided to order some more online because I love the aethestics.
Even if I loved the Japanese bras (the aesthetics, all the bras come with cookie pads...), and I found one brand that fitted very similar to Ewa Michalak PL I don't wear them at all, and I stick to EM. It's true that the awful custom duties discouraged me from buying more, and I don't think I'm returning to Japan anytime soon, but still. I think that I'm afraid of all the time I spent buying bras that didn't fit, and the frustration that comes with it. I also don't have the money nor the time or the inclination to experiment anymore. Because the best outcome would be that the new bra fits me really well, and then I would be on to another bra frenzy of buying all the same cuts. And I really have more than enough bras.
Anyway, I'd love to have more information about other Polish brands. I know that Ewa Michalak is great (they were the first bras that fit me) and Comexim too, but sometimes I wonder how many jewels we miss by being so obsessed with those two brands.
(Sorry for my rambling)
Oh, and I found this page that is a directory of Polish bra brands. Quite useful: http://lingeriefrompoland.eu/lingerie-producers

I totally understand! I live in the US and I have bought a few Samanta bras off Zulily because they are really cheap. I got one out of three that fits. I'd order more in a different size for sure! I'd be much more inclined to order if there was more data here so I wasn't totally guessing on fit/sizing!
pretty sure wendybien has posted several
But most brands, even polish, make nothing in my size
