First EM order, help needed
I am about to order my first EM bra, the PL Triumf, but I'm not yet sure about the right size.
I normally wear a 32FF or 32G in Cleo and Freya, and I'm pretty sure I'll need a 75 band in EM bras.
However, I'm not sure whether a FF or a G cup will be better. In terms of sizes, my favourite bras are right in between these two cup sizes in terms of cup depth measurements: the EM 75FF measures 26,5 cm, the EM 75G measures 28,5 cm, and my favourite bras measure 27 or 27,5 cm.
However, my favourite bras are a different style (balcony, Cleo Minnie for example), and I'm not sure if I can just compare the cup depths of balcony and plunge bras. I also know that PL's come with cookies, but I don't know how much of a difference they make.
I read that some people advice to sister size up in EM (so that would mean a 75FF), while others recommend both a larger band and a larger cup (which means a 75G).
Can anyone weigh in on this? Are there people with similar sizes who have experience with this?
Thanks!

I believe with padded styles (which the PL is) you go up one size in EMs. With non-padded styles you are often your normal UK cup.
Ewas can be tough because while a lot of people size up in the padded models there are outliers. Like me. I'm a 30E in UK brands and a 65E in padded Ewas, but a 65F in non-padded. So it's the opposite for me.
Based off of the measurements do you prefer slightly smaller or slightly bigger?
Do you have the means to order both? Ewas usually resell well, and at retail price since a lot of women don't want to deal with waiting.
In my opinion, a single cookie makes up the difference of about 1/2 a cup.
