Ewa Michalak sizing pt.2

So... I emailed EM customer service to see if maybe they could help me figure out a starting point. I clearly stated that I'm confused because I'm usually a 32H/HH but their calculator suggests I try a 80G, and the answer was: "If you are not sure about your size please use our size calculator". Uhm... yeah.
I've read that the wires in EM bras are kinda narrow and might not work for wide breasts, and mine are; that the bands can be tighter at first but more stretchy; that plunge bras can run small in the cups. All these doubts are off-putting! I know I will only find out if I place an order and assess the fit, but trying and sending back too many bras would get way too pricey. What to do? :(

  • Was that Dominik that answered? Yah, cause he's not the brightest of the bunch :D
    I've been trying to figure out the EM size myself and from what I've gathered so far - In the PL range one should go up 1 cup up from their usual freya size and/or two cups up from their cleo size. In the ch's chps and hm - take the same size as freya and only one cup up from cleo. This I think is a good start - not a full proof method. From my experience the bands on EM's are not that tight so I'd say go with your regular size - its easier to wear an extender than alter down. There are some that will dissagree with this :) You have quite a few 32 H burgunds measured here - have you tried comparing?
    Where do you live?
    This is what I can do for you - If you are willing to pay the shipping costs and promise you'll send them back (!!) - I can send you two bras - the 32H burgund and the 32J chp to asses the fit.

  • Hahahah yeah, it was Dominik :D I didn't think about comparing, stupid me! I'll do some research stalking here on Bratabase. I'm more interested in PL bras because from what I can see CH's fit like CK Showgirl bras and I don't think that's a good everyday fit for me.
    Ps> I live in Italy
