I. GIVE. UP!
UGH. I know now that I have to give up on UK bras. They just don't work for me anymore. I just got a 28HH Marcie, which is the right cup size and band for me since it seems to run a bit larger (I'm 29" underbust, and the 30s are too big), but man those freaking wires are nearly at my back. It's not as bad in the 30H I have, but this is ridiculous.
I also got one I've been wanting to try- Miss Mandalay Paige in 32GG. Knew that one would need taking in at the band, but the cups on me are HORRID. Worst my boobs have ever looked in a bra. On top of that, it's far too shallow for me *and* I get quadboob. There's no orange in the glass for me or anything, I genuinely fill out the whole cup. It's just BAD. These wires aren't nearly as bad as the Marcie's though, so I guess it's got that going for it.
Freya has issues for me as well, with their unlined bras giving me East/West shape, and their lined bras either just aren't made in my size, or the ones that are happen to be half cups, which require me to jump to the next size up (30HH), which of course they don't make.
UGH. It bugs me that I'll have to rely on Polish options only. They take so long to get to you that there's no guarantee they'll even fit by the time they show up. I'd love to be able to go down to the shop in my town and pick something up, but I know there's no point. Going back to 30GGs results in quadboobing, 30Hs are far too tall at the edge of the cup. BAH HUMBUG. I could even maybe deal with wider wires (I wore strictly UK for years), it's just that the super tall cups drive me crazy. Especially in the Marcie-the jump from 30GG to 30H in cup height is just silly.
Bah humbug. I do love Polish bras, it's just not exactly convenient.

dude, i feel ya.
As annoying as it can be to be confined to Polish, i wouldnt have it any other way! They are so much more comfortable and a better fit than ANY UK brand bra has ever been for me! Its definitely a pain to have to wait foreverrrrrrr. Especially when packages go missing or sit at customs for weeks/months on end. And it is utterly heartbreaking when after its all over they dont even fit. But the joy my boobies feel when they do fit makes up for it all! :D
