Issue resolved
Lots of helpful comments, will be trying new EW sizes based on the suggestions.
Original problem
Well, obviously this bra is way, way too small. About a year ago, I ordered a bunch of Ewa bras in the size I came up with using their website (sadly wasn't aware of this website at the time). They are all tremendously too small. I tried sending them back to exchange them, but several months and $70 in shipping later, they returned to me due to mysterious customs issues. I really don't want to order more until I can be at least really hopeful that they will fit this time.
Based on my measurements here, the site is recommending 65KK in several Ewa bras. However, the back on this one seems to fit pretty well - it's good on the loosest hook. I don't know how much the bands vary by style, so I'm not sure what to think. I do know that one of the other bras I purchased, the PL Lilia in 70G, was much too big in the band. So I'm sort of at a loss. It seems they have more in the slightly larger back sizes, so if it weren't for the recommendations here, I would be tempted to go up a back size from this to 75. URGH. For reference, my best fitting bra at the moment is a Kris Line Brilliant in 30K (although if I grew at all, I think it would be slightly too small - it's juuuust right at the moment, but if I had to, I'd go a cup size up rather than down - the band could go a little smaller, but is okay).
Sorry this is so long, I'm just trying to get a lot of information in here to help the process. I do have a general likes/dislikes about bra companies and types in my profile, if that helps.
Thank you so much for your help!
P.S. If anyone also has advice on a corresponding size in Comexim, I would really appreciate it. I hear they are quite different?

The back band might feel okay at the moment because of the unevenness of your breast size and the cup size. Brasandbodyimage.wordpress.com has a good post explaining how if you don't scoop (which you can't here because there is not enough cup!) that it will change the fit of the band size.
Also, to check band size, you should turn the bra around and fasten it under your bust with the cups at the back- this allows you to get a more accurate picture of the fit, without the cups interfering due to stretched wires etc etc. if you can pull it way away from your body, try a 65 band.i think that i would pick one or two styles for EM, and look on here to find the band length measurements. Her non-padded Half-cups (HM Gold) tend to run small in the back as far as i know. Most girls will go with their 'normal' size, and if a band is too short, you can always have an extender, whereas if it is too long, you can't do too much about it.

If the band feels alright on this bra (trick, try putting it on backwards, if it feels too loose then, go down to the 65 band), then perhaps you should try 70K in Ewa instead of 65KK.

I don't really have a comment other than what has already been suggested, but I just received my first big order of EM bras and am trying to figure out my sweet spot size as well. If you're in the states and don't want to return it back to Poland, I'll totally buy this one from you!

Thank you so much for that link - the post you were talking about was really helpful (and also showed me that another bra I have is much more too small than I thought), and also it's just a great blog AND her boobs are really similar looking to mine, so it's great for possible comparison! Super useful. Thanks again.
And thanks for the rest of your post, too; all really helpful advice that I am putting into play immediately. I appreciate it a lot!
