Polish time!
Because I am obsessive, I had to try Ewa Michalak plunges again in larger sizes and the FB models in a range of sizes just to make sure it's a shape issue for me vs a size issue.
I have decided that EM will never work for me unless I lose a lot of weight and cup sizes. I'm pretty sure I've pinpointed why: the wires. The weird jutting out wires on the sides don't lock down against my body. Instead they jut out into my soft arm tissue. When I bend over this gets really bad and the gore just flops over because they aren't creating any tension against my ribs. Even the FBs did this. Also, Ewa isn't projected enough for me at the bottom and the apex even in sizes that are too big for me.
However, my Wellfitting longline plunge arrived and it does fit, although not as well as my Extra deep plunge. It feels so much better to wear than those Ewas. No jabbing!
Quality wise both brands are the same high quality, excellent fabric with a soft buttery feel (although the FB has a rougher powermesh lower part) but folks in my size range who are very centerfull and heavy there and have a hard time getting a gore tack (me in Panache) or get a flopping over gore (me in all other brands) are going to need to go Comexim plunge with a reduced gore because that's the only thing I've found that lets my center tissue out and gives it space.
Conversely, folks who need a high structured gore because their center tissue is light and fluffy and needs containment are going to want Ewa.
I am going to do a Wellfitting blog post, an Ewa pt. 2 post, and a brand comparison post soon which will be more detailed but that is the short version of my time wearing both bras.

so interesting how different we all are. My boobs are just so squishy that even Ewa gores are sometimes too low and I fall out. will you put in any pics/measurements/reviews for the individual bras?
I have pics and measurements here in bratabase. I will do reviews on the individual bras tomorrow or Saturday. Would you like me to share them as adventures, dbmamaz? I thought of you and Ivp when I wrote about that soft tissue, haha. I know that's your big fitting issue like too tall gores are mine.
