This is my first purchase through Bratabase (yay) and my first Polish bra. I'm waiting for an order from Comexim and an Anna Pardal via Sophisticated Pair.

The bra is gorgeous and unusual - gray-silver-taupe lace over a subtle peach base that is almost a nude for me. It gives a beautiful boobs-forward, cakes on a plate effect. It is a plunging style, but not as low as, for example, Freya Deco. This band is quite soft (and comfortable) and thus not especially supportive for the long haul. Were I to buy new, I would size down (I typically wear 32G in most bras, more like 30GG in Freya). Finally, the bra + band, for me, is not 'motion reducing'. There is a considerable bounce, which I am certain will be entertaining to onlookers, but it makes the bra not work-friendly for me. Maybe save for shorter evenings out and times when I know I will be sashaying and strolling and not moving quickly!

  I think bras with less coverage on top or stretchy coverage on top seem to bounce more, but i'm not quite sure yet

  Well, a 75HH Comexim translates to roughly a 34G UK, but Comexim cups are scaled up 2 cm per cup rather than UK's 1". So, you're in a band and probably 1/2-3/4 cup size larger than typical. So, I can understand why it bounces, the whole thing is probably a little loose. But agreed, Sonia is a gorgeous bra.

  lcl0706, thanks for the sizing translation. This is my first Comexim, and Erica at Sophisticated Pair helped me (via email) try to guess at my best size. But I am definitely in that Polish bras + guesswork + hope = eventually ending up in the right bra and size stage of things! Also, my go-to bra for the past 5 years has been the Fantasie 4510 molded tee shirt bra. Nothing moves in that bra, and I know I am unused to other styles and feelings!

  If you retry Comexim, I'd say stay in a 32 band, so a 70 band, and try a HH which would be one cup volume down. You'd probably have better luck in a 70HH/32G, and if that feels a bit small due to the whole 2cm vs 1" cup scaling, you can try the band down but retain the cup volume by trying a 70J/32GG.

• Thanks! I am 98% certain that's what we ended up with for the Anna Pardal bra I'm waiting for. And with Comexim I have two 70G and a 70HH...hmmm (why did I do -that-!?).

• Bra fitting is evidently a science. No wonder it has been a roll of the dice for me.
