Ewa ch versus chp - cup height and size question

I recently tried the EM ch lilia in 65FF (I'm around 30F to 30FF), but I had some headlight action out of the top of the cup, and it seemed like it was buckling at the bottom (like too shallow for me or too small... can't tell which). I'm really undecided about what cup size to try next, but I want to order the EM CHP red wine.

I find I measure around 9.8-10.3 perimeter throughout the month. So I've been thinking 65G looks right 'on paper', but I also noticed that the ch lilia only had a cup height of about 5.5 while the CHPs have around 6.3, which makes me really wonder if I should order the 65FF, which measures smaller than my breast perimeter? I have super short roots and a projected shape, so not sure which would work (65FF or 65G). For reference, my best fitting bras are cleo marcie 30F (purple, in cup quad), minnie in 30F (in cup quad), Anna Pardal sophisticated balconette 32FF (band too stretchy), and EM M cut in 70F. Do you tend to order chp with about the same amount of 'perimeter measurement' you have, or do you order a smaller size than you measure (especially if you have shorter roots)? Hope that all made sense!

  • The only CH I tried was a sister size to 65G. The cup was shorter than the 65FF CHP I had previously worn. The CH has the most center and immediate projection. In fact, I did not at all find the CHP comfortable, but the CH was delightful except for the too-wide gore.

    If your roots are short, you may prefer to special order a 65G CH...

    Good luck!!

  • Thanks Love4Pollinators ... I hadn't thought about doing a custom order with the ch. Did you find the chp tall on you? I'm worried that if I size up the cup will be too tall.
