Huge success with EM BM series and sister sizing
To keep it relatively brief, I am a 32KK in UK sizing and generally a 70LL/75L in EM's S styles. I also hate emailing EM to order. So I did a few sister size purchases. I bought two BM style bras in 75K that, from the measurements here, said should fit. Plus STRETCH LACE AND NARROW WIRES. Sorry, that is just so huge for me. I also bought a 80KK in an S style. ALL OF THEM FIT! YAY. And no emailing EM! So don't be afraid to do the math and sister size out of custom bands if you are willing to alter them down.
I'm finally going to be able to go through my "mostly" fit bra collection I've obtained over the past year and sell and give them away. I've said that EM doesn't have the best construction before, and that is true of a lot of her initial starter models, but with each model, EM has shown clear improvement. For example, even in the Ewa Michalak Bm Bibi Bianka (532) it fits differently than her starter style I hear, and then the 75K - Ewa Michalak ยป Bm Szarotka (560) I have has now two layers of lining which helps give the bras better shape. So I would say that EM has vastly improved her bra making skills especially in the upper cup sizes and I now for the first time in my life has a bra that perfectly fits (really and sincerely, without any caveats like eventual spilling out or readjusting or pain).
The BM series is perfect and comfy for me because of the stretch lace and low gore (how she figured out the construction on this one, I don't know). I will be reviewing these bras later and uploading information to help others. Thank you btw bmille40 for uploading all of your measurements and information or I may have never tried the BM series <3

This is so fantastic! While I don't always agree with their customer service (though it does seem the company has made strides to improve this), there is no denying her bras are a revelation -- especially in the upper cup sizes. Without her, my bra wardrobe would be minuscule and ill-fitting. I'm really excited to see where her brand goes in the next few years.

And yes, I have noticed the improvement in customer service as well! While I mostly avoided direct contact, I noticed their emails are now professional looking and they constantly kept me updated on my order status. I also had to email them asking for a tracking number because their previous email didn't actually have one and they actually responded within a day as well as copying and pasting the actual info from the tracking number page. These all seem like small potatoes but just a half a year ago I had to email them three times to place an order and it was just a frustrating experience.
It's wonderful to see someone improve, especially a business that caters to so many sizes. I am now looking forward to seeing if they can continue to improve as well. I hope they can continue expanding their size range though because I don't want anyone to be left out.
