free of charge, endless range of customizations from Melissa Dessous
I said this on a bra fit suggestion this morning, but I wanted to put it out here since it's information that some others might find useful. A couple of days ago, I sent Melissa Dessous an English email explaining some of my bra issues and asking what they could accommodate through customization. Essentially, they said (in quite fluent written English) they could do whatever I might need *at no additional cost.* This included making cups in different sizes to account for breast size difference, which I've never heard of any other company doing. And I prefer this to wearing a pad on the smaller side.
I understand their cup sizes run about 2 cup sizes small compared to UK. This might mean being sized out of their largest K cup for me, but it sounded like they could handle this in the email as well. I want to try them out as soon as I'm more certain of my UK size and the bra shape I need -- and have some money to add to my bra budget. Their prices are mostly $35 US and under, and apparently their bras are breathable (many are made of cotton and flax!). Also, it appears to me, at least, that there is much more of a range of bra shapes than I've seen at any other Polish bra sites.
I would encourage those with small band sizes that don't exist in UK or US brands -- like a 26 -- to contact them and ask about customization. They were very, very accommodating. They appear to be a smaller company than Ewa Michalak and some of the others, but I was really impressed.
And I don't think most of their stuff looks "granny-ish" even though much of it is made of cotton. I don't know how the final product turns out, but I think this seems really promising for those of us who have trouble finding fitting bras.

Correction: Their standard sizes go at least to L, so maybe I'm not sized out.
Also, their maxi line includes sister models to a lot of the standard models for a few dollars more. It includes some extra bells and whistles for better comfort like foam in the straps.
How did I not know about this brand. I would love to try it but I am confused by their sizing. I looked at a couple reviews on here and I'm still unsure. Their size chart puts me in a G but as a UK 34H I'm doubtful. Any advice? And they don't have double letters so I'm not sure how to calculate two cup sizes up from a UK H.
