Polish Brands and Me.

I have been going through as much info as I can find on polish brands, as I love them soo much. But I seem to be having a fairly hard time deciphering them (unlike @MimiHolliday whom I have become obsessive about and am seriously contemplating creating a petition to send her with pages of signatures begging her to bring back all the size 28 bands, or at least making a specific line of them or something...). There seems to be little consistency or standard that I can identify, like with the UK lines I generally figure which cuts run bigger/smaller, wide or narrow, so on and so forth. A sort of general line of any particular brand. @EwaMichalak complexes me the most. But here's the info I have gathered so far, in terms of fitting me personally.
@Comexin: The plunges seem to run smaller in cup depth, balcony bras larger in cup depth, and the half cups seem to be all over the board. These are the sizes that appear to be able to fit me. 55F (only the widest cup ones) 55G,55H, 60D-60F and the smaller depth range of 60G, 65D, 65E, and the smaller depth range of 65F. Depth of 65C "fits" me, but is too narrow. How in the world can I fit into so many sizes? I have just ordered a 60F from a fellow BtB patron and look forward to getting it. I've cursed myself on numerous occasions for not immediately snatching up others for sale (one was a 60H that some how fit within my measurements range!).
This is what I have for @KrisLine. Fits more like UK/US brands in terms of cup width and more shallow style cups. Padded/Push-Up bras run an entire one/two cups smaller than the non-padded/unlined bras. The semi-soft seems to be in between the two, half cup/cup smaller than non-padded/unlined, but about a half cup/cup larger than the padded/push-up varieties. Seems to be fairly consistent with the increments to each size. These are the sizes that appear to be able to fit me. 60D (non-padded only), 60DD-E, 60F (padded only), 65D (non-padded only), 65DD, 65E/F (padded only).
@Kinga appears to be almost identical to UK/US brands in terms of design (wide wires, more shallow cups). Their sizing does not seem consistent in the least. I also do not have alot of info for them. My "fit" sizes: 65C/D, possibly E.
Last but not least.
@EwaMichalak her fit is similar to @Comexims (narrow wires, immediate projection, deep cups), and she has a very complex sizing which coincides with the confusing cuts/models. I can hardly figure out which sizes/models from her would fit me best, if at all. 55C-DD (even though the measurements table said 55DD was deeper than 55F 3D so yeah), 55E(no Chp or HM), 55F (3D, and maybe M), 55FF (3D only), 60B (measurement table said was bigger than 60C????), 60C/D, 60DD (no Ch, M, Hm, 3D, HP,), 65A(no 3D too small), 65B/C, 65D (only CH, HP, PL, 3D, CHP). And a very confused me.
So, yeah. That's what I got. I am also really into Samanta and they have a bit of a complex way of labeling their models and just feel they are similar to @EwaMichalak in how each model is sized differently. Although their labeling seems to be easier to understand that Ewa's. I have not done much research on Samanta or @Gorsenia, but I love them and would love any information on them and defining which sizes/models will fit me. I know I am asking a lot in one post, but I am trying to decipher these brands to figure out which sizes/models will fit me best.
This is what I believe I have learned about my shape since my bra-journey began; I am of average projection and slightly shallow (between the two), FOT & inner fullness, with wide, tall-ish roots and pointy nipples which gives me a conical-ish shape. I've included a link to my measurements. And, here are the measurements that I try to stay within: 6.5"-7.5" cup depth, minimum 4.5" cup width, and 26"-30" stretched band.
