WTF is my size?
Currently my best fitting bra is Fantasie's Rebecca in a 32H. I come out further on the sides than I would like shape wise and I wear it on the second hook. But the gore is the closest to tacking I've had in awhile. Since the Rebecca runs so tight, I wanted to try a true 30HH--there wasn't a Rebecca in the shop to try on, so I went for the Lois Side-Support bra. The side support panels dug in, causing me a weird shape issue that made the bra a no go but it was still 1-2 cup sizes small. There wasn't a 30J to compare fit with, but my best guess is that my "true size" in Fantasie is a 30J/30JJ--and that's theoretically if the wires aren't too wide in those cup sizes.
So maybe the problem here is that I shouldn't make this comparison--but I'm going to anyway, why do I get massive quadboob in my 30JJ Ewa Michalaks? She uses the UK cup sizing, but they really don't seem comparable. Based on how the PL fits, I would want to order another in a 32K. I'm projected, very FOB with upper softness.
Would you all help me make sense of my size? Bra suggestions are always welcome too

She claims she doesnt use UK sizing actually and that its 'her own' method >.< The cups do run the same as UK (and by that i just mean the order of letters!) but it seems like most typically have to size up from their UK size in EM bras, especially the padded ones! Sorry im not much more help! But its definitely not unusual to wear a larger Polish size! :)
gogobee Thanks for the reply! That makes so much more sense.
