Thanks all! I’m in Australia, so it’s usually just as easy to order direct for me, although if anyone has tried Nessa and can compare, there’s an Aussie distributor for those.

The more I remeasure, the more I think that 2 cups up is right. I’m pretty reluctant to go back to EM, so I think 65N in Comexim and maybe Nessa is a go.

I’d kind of like to try Bravissimo Alexa, which I’m sure will be a make-do kind of fit, but I’d put up with it for the back! 32J maybe?

Narrow, projected, full on bottom/centre full with short roots (but a pronounced Tail of Spence, so closed-on-top balconettes/half cups are okay, but closed-on-top plunges tend to cut in).

ABTF calculator recommends 32J/JJ, which is 70M/N, I think? It might be overestimating a little though, since my short roots seem to mean less volume than expected for my circumference. It's a lot bigger than I would expect, but I also keep growing, so overshooting might not be a disaster.

I'm currently wearing an assortment of 65L Comexim bras, all of which are way too small in the cup now, but which range from too tight to too loose in the band. I'd say there's more that fit or are tight than that are too loose, but the few that are looser make me wary of going up a band size.

I also would probably prefer more immediate projection, and I have a 60J - Ewa Michalak » S Czekolada which...kinda fits? It was way too big when I got it, and the band runs a size large, but it doesn't gap at all. Presses in on one side, but it always had different width underwires, so there's that. But the straps on EM have always been too wide on me, and despite the projection issues, my Comexim bras have always been comfier than similarly sized Ewas.

I was going to just order 65M or 70L Comexim, but the more I think about it, the more uncertain I get. And they're not replying to my email about getting things made in sizes that aren't listed, which isn't helping.

I'm just confused, and frustrated that I keep growing out of bras I like. Not an uncommon story, but it was getting me down today. So the generated recommendation that a 30G Freya might fit was just the final straw this morning :)

Ahaha I have that Masquerade Lula Mae (6166) in a larger size, and the cups are comically wide. Like, flagged as incorrectly measured, wide. Probably also too tall on me, but it's hard to say, because my entire boob kept falling out the middle (which would explain why it's still turning up in grab bags EIGHT SEASONS LATER). You've reminded me, I should dig it out of the pile and see if it's as funny as I remember. I'd had some wines when it first arrived, and I was in stitches laughing at what a lost cause it was.

The Cleo Juna Balconnet Bra (6461) is meant to have loose lace at the top - you'll find if you get it in a small enough cup that it isn't, you'll merely replace the problem with quadboob. If it doesn't show under clothes (it usually doesn't, but YMMV), I'd say keep it and look for similar measurements on here or Panache sister cuts (not my area, but someone should be along shortly to help you with that).

I had terrible results from the one Deco I tried, so I hear you there. Why do strapless bras have to be so hard? :-(

It might just be in these photos, but the band is sitting very low in the back - is it still too shallow if you yank the back band up higher?

I ask because strapless bras have always done that to me (even when they should fit, they seem really shallow unless the band sits as high or a fraction higher than my normal bras). Full disclosure, I usually get someone else to pull the band up in the back, because it is super awkward - but I do find it helps maximise usable depth.

That's really cute! I've been considering ordering a Comexim bikini, but now I'm wondering how this one behaves in my size (or if it comes in my size...excuse me, off to research!)

Sorry, I could have been clearer (it was quite late when I wrote the original post) - I don't expect, or even want, for these bras to fit like a UK 30HH or J. That would definitely be too big for me. So what you've told me suggests I'm getting what I want, or at least what I've convinced myself will fit.

Thank you!!

That...that might actually work out okay. I actually want the one they're calling 30J to be a 65I, and that sounds like a possibility (I'm around a 30H UK and 65K/L in normal EU sizing, and KL seem to be somewhere in between).

Worst case scenario, I got 3 bras plus international shipping for £70, I can sell what doesn't fit here or return it.

Oh, I already ordered some (a few different sizes, so hopefully one fits anyway?). I just wondered if anyone knew how different the size they say is from what KL puts on the tags!

...and it just became urgent. One of my two fitting bras just lost an eye :-( My poor PL Toffik, now rather less wearable than before.
