Sizing advice on HM Sekret Wiktorii and CHP Marcepanowa Magnolia?

After quite a break, I will be adding to my bradrobe soon :) I'm looking at ordering SF Trapez, CHP Marcepanowa Magnolia, and HM Sekret Wiktorii. My best fits currently are my SM Rozowa Mgielkas and BM Tajemniczy Ogrod, then SM Czarna Mgielka, all 75F. I have an S Diament 75F which fits, although the shape isn't quite as good a match as the unlined bras. I have tried a 75FF CHP Klaudyna which was too big.
My boobs are very short and narrow, omega shaped, projected, soft and pendulous, and FOT but functionally even because of my super short roots. I need all the projection everywhere because of my omega shape, and I really want a bra or two that's a bit less full coverage - even SM is pretty full coverage on me. It looks like the HM is wider and deeper in the cup than Czarna Mgielka based on measurements, so I was thinking about sizing down in the cup? The Bratabase reviews suggest that for very short roots sizing down may be good (although at least one of those was FOB), while at least one review says the cups run small. Can anyone add some more data to my collection?
I was also not really sure if I should just go for 75F on the CHP - I see the cups are wider and a little less deep than SMs, so I thought maybe I should try a 70FF? A shorter gore and/or cup does sound like a bonus to me, and I have extenders. I appreciate any advice!

  • I think people size down on the CHP because the cups are super open. I have short boobs and the CHP is too tall for me because it is so open, and going down another size would make it too small on the bottom. If your tissue can expand vertically this might not be an issue for you. I found sizing down one cup size from my normal UK size worked ok except for the height on the CHP. I don't have any experience with that particular CHP so I can't comment on the cups/band length.

    I was told by Aisha at Zathiya that the wires are wide on the HM Sekret Wiktorii. I have not tried this cut yet.

  • Thanks, @Sovavosi! My boobs are definitely somewhat moldable, although at a certain point they do begin to resist a little.
