This is the second bra from Nazeli that I'm trying on, and this one would be much closer to fitting if the size was right.

The part that I was quite surprised about is that this bra is so significantly too small (at least two cup sizes too small if not more), while the semi-soft in size 80J (so just one cup size larger) is the right size but almost too large. The cup depth in the semi-soft is 32.5cm while this one is 28cm - 4.5cm is a large difference for one cup size difference. All the measurements are much smaller for this model - the wire, ... wing, width, stretched band, even the gore width, and even placed side to side they're very different.
I'm wondering if it's a sizing inconsistency or if the sizes are so different for the different cuts.
On the topic of sizing, my usual sizes are 36GG UK, 75M/80L Comexim, 75J/80I Gorsenia. In this model, I would probably need an 80K. However, a larger size would probably increase also the other elements that in this size are ok for me: the cup width, the wing height, the gore height, the cup height, and how wide set the straps are. I'd just need more cup depth and the rest kept the same and this would fit!
I got to this size by starting from the size chart and then sister sizing down in the band. This I would do in all Polish brands, as they seem to consider that a 35-36in underbust needs a band size 90-95, which in practice is much too large for me. The cup size was, according to the size chart, between 80I and 80J. However, it's very difficult for a size chart to work with just two measurements.

A bit about my shape - short roots, even fullness, and I need a cup that has enough room for some inner fullness although not a particularly narrow gore. I need a lot of immediate projection and prefer a round shape.

The materials are quite good quality, and the construction is neat with just a few loose threads. The cup construction is a three part half cup, and it gives a round and minimised shape. The bottom of the cup has enough immediate projection.
The wires are quite soft and a bit squeaky, and the wire is shorter than the wire channel by 1cm. The cup has a side sling and the band has side boning. The band is made from one layer of thick stretchy knit fabric which seems good quality.
