Ok I just figured something out...while my root looks quite large on my chest and takes up most of the space, it doesn't measure very wide. (Maybe because I am petite, with small shoulders and a short torso? Not sure.) I did the trick I learned on reddit to measure general shape and size by using copper wire (I am a jewelry maker, so that was easily accessible) by wrapping it around your root (easier to do than describe, sorry!) and then carefully compare the boob-conformed wire to the underwires of your bras-my bras all have waaaaaay too wide underwires, something I had suspected. I need much, much narrower wires with more depth and projection. I am REALLY looking forward to trying @Comexim now, even though they are a LOT harder to come by than @Curvy Kate, especially since I am poor and typically shop on eBay. It seems most of my cup widths are almost an inch too wide or more, so hopefully Comexim will remedy that to some degree.

  • If it makes you feel better, Comexim is a LOT more accessible compared to Ewa Michalak. The prices of the bras in general are cheaper and you pay 20 PLN for the same shipping option as the 45 PLN you pay for EM. Also for Comexim, you don't get dinged with any additional PayPal fees. You also don't get any additional fees from customizing cup height, gore and band. To me, it's a win-win :)

  • I'm really looking forward to having some extra money and trying ordering some! I asked a wonderful girl on here if I can buy her listing to try and see how well the fit is. I'm super excited to try it, because if it works, I will definitely be buying some more, possibly with a custom cup height, which would be wonderful. =^____^=
