Issue resolved
Got 75JJ's, but no luck
Original problem
As you can see, it is too small, hence why it needed to be censored a bit! There would either be quadro-boob or side boob (moving around to take the pic, I would shift between the 2)
I've heard that for plunges, just being a bit off can show as a lot, so maybe I am just one size of? I have breast asymmetry and on the small boob, there wasn't really any problem, even though there isn't that big a difference.
The band is sort of loose (I am on tightest hook here, and as you can see, have most the weight on my shoulders), so I am thinking 75J?

helpfulI've tried this bra in two different cup sizes and I'd agree you probably need to go up more than one cup size. Maybe try a 75 JJ? How loose is the band, that strap cutting looks painful
Maybe try a 70 band as well? I always have one boob come up small in non-padded EM plunges too, if it bothers you you can get pads for around $6 USD. Look under accessories on the site. Updated on June 6, 2012 Flag this

I just checked all the 70 plunge bras, and generally they seem to come up to less than 80cm when streched, and I don't think I could go for that, so I think it'll be 75JJ

Excellent, hope it works out for you! EM is so great once you figure out what size you need, I can't really think of another bra company that has the same quality and size range, especially for the price. Good luck :)

helpfulIf you're on the tightest hook, I echo the above suggestion- a 75JJ would help the band and it does look like you need more than one cup size up.
A 70K could also work if you like your bands tight. I'm still trying to figure out my EM size, so I wish you luck!

helpfulI look the same in Ewa Michalak and it is not an issue of size. In my case the shape is simply all wrong. I have soft breasts with a large base, far larger than the Ewa Michalak bras assume, thus I am falling all out despite the bra being too big in the cup.
My recommendation to you would be to check out Bravissimo bras aside from the Demi-Diva and Masquerade. If you need very narrow wires you can also look at Bestform as well as using the old trick of going up in band and down in cup to get narrower wires.

helpfulMore than one size too small. And if it feels loose, it's probably too big in the band, as their bras are considered snug.
I guess you could e-mail the shop and ask for tips.Updated on August 7, 2012 Flag this

Ewa makes bras 70 band for people who got around 70cm ribcage, I wouldn't try 70:) I've got 72cm ribcage and wear Ewa in 32gg/70gg.

I don't think her bras always match the cm measurement. I've tried 9 Ewa Michalak bras so far, all in sizes 80 and 75, and none of them have been too tight at all, even though I measure more like 85/86 cm. So that seems to fit with that a 34band is not too tight on a 33.66" underbust.

On second look, I do think I could do with 2 cups bigger, yes. And with plunges, I feel like I could probably tighten the straps a bit, if it does end up being ½ a cup too big - better that way than ½ cup too small.
I have pads from another bra I have from Ewa Michalak (same size as this, though I had gotten the impression that the plungers were tight in the band, and big in the cup :o ), so I may use them if needed.
I am a little bit reluctant to go for a 70... This doesn't feel 10cm too big (The shoulders probably look worse than they are, I have permanent marks in my shoulders from going to Victorias Secret for 40DD's and thinking that was as good as it got), but I guess a small cup can also make it feel less big than it is. I measure 80cm at the tightest though, so it sounds a bit off :/ But again, I guess it is easier to fix a too small band, than a too big one, just buying an extra row of hooks... I'll have to think that one over! 70K, hmm...
