I don't know why, but this whole thing really bugs me. Earlier in the week they posted a comparison between a 65GG and the 80D on this same model and it just sounded really condescending all over.
It is true that when I purchased an 80 band it fit me like this... for about 3 wears. After that it just kept stretching out more and more and now even on the tightest band it is just simply too loose. Same with a 75 band. I would like to wear bras I paid good money for for longer than a month, hopefully.
As a matter of fact, my Fluo is 70FF and after 2 wears it's already loose enough where it's perfect. I don't even feel the band on me. But now I'm all doubtful about it... are my cups carrying the weight or is it the band... am I doing it wrong? I just have an additional order for 4 more bras all in the 70FF size... did I waste a ton of money on them?

If this bugs you, you must have missed the whole "Strapgate" from a few years back. Ewa did an offensive video post towards an American blogger who moved her straps in. To Ewa, all American & UK women wear their bands too tight out of vanity. This created an outrage and to react, Ewa stopped making 60 bands altogether for well over a year (at least in the larger cup range, not sure if she cut them off in the M/3D etc smaller cup range.) You can still find the whole ordeal on Google if you want to read/see it.
Long story short, Ewa is Ewa, fickle and finicky, easily insulted and knows all in regards to how her bras should fit. We may not agree but tend to remain silent as we want more of her bras!! Addictions are a terrible thing. :-/
My tight underbust is 24.75" (62.87cm)
Loose is 26.75" (67.95cm) so her calculator puts me in a 65 band. Her 60 bands stretch to over 28" upon arrival and require the tightest hookset without much support from the beginning. Yet at a 42" overbust, I don't have any better option, or honestly outside of Comexim, any other option. And Ewa bras are still the best fitting bras I have ever worn regardless of size, so even with my complaints, I am still happy.
I saw the photo comparison too. I think Ewa is mocking how women like to wear their bands too tight and cups too large like in strapgate. However, I think she measures the underbust really tightly, like literally break the tape. A person on Bratabase with 80cm would probably choose a 70, not a 65. But idk. In all honestly a persons body is personal and the way they decide their bra to fit should be their own choice. My underbust is like 60cm super tight. I have found usually her 60 bands are fine. Some 65s are fine and sometimes I need 55. More recently I need 55 because of how much larger the bands are running, more “true to size” in comparison to UK bras. With her analogy l’d probably be squeezing into 45 or 50! Rather ridiculous. Maybe personally I’d put the model in 70-75 depending on how the band ran.
Do you feel 70FF is really uncomfortable I guess with really wide set straps, nasty underwire markings at the end of the day? Keep in mind the straps are just rather far apart on her bras, especially as the cups get larger and larger. If not then you should be perfectly fine! Don’t feel bad about how you like your bra to fit and what size you choose to wear.
