Polish Bra brands

5 replies

Due to Brexit, and import taxes, I'm looking for a bra supplier other than from the UK.
One of the brands sometimes mentioned in these threads is Ewa Michalak.
If anyone who ordered from this site is around, can you tell me how their sizing compares to the UK sizes?
As a reference, I'm a 30E/F or 28F/FF- depending on time of the cycle and the brand/model.
On their site they would put me in a 75B instead of a 65F/FF, which I got from another Polish brand, Gorteks. This brand is fine but I'd like to have options. Grin

Any other brand suggestions?

Ignore their sizing guide on the website, it's bollocks!

Generally Ewa can run a bit smaller than UK brands in both band and cup but it varies by size. As a rough rule Bravissimo branded bras tend to fit in about the same size for me.

Given your range I'd suggest going for the upper end, the 30F probably. Their unpadded bras tend to be a bit bigger in the cup IMO compared to the padded/moulded ones by about half a cup so you might be better going for the 30E in those.

They're fabulous bras once you work out the sizing

Theres a company called revelation lingerie that is based in the UK but sell Polish bras from a range of makes. They have worked out all the conversions so it makes it easier and you can message them for advice. They do pre orders every month or so. They also do returns which is a bonus!

Thanks Statistically, that is useful. :)
Also, thanks IwillrunIwillfly, I won't be ordering from the UK (at least for now), but the site may be useful to work out sizing.

I got two 65E through another local supplier from Gaia (only realised it was also Polish after I posted), in soft cups, which are fine when my boobs are fuller, but they seem to go D-DD-E, unlike Gorteks, which go from D straight to E.

I did try a half-corset from Gorteks, which was very tight on a 70 [yikes], but another bra on a 65E was fine and returned another 70 that was clearly not snug enough on the band. So, it looks like sizing may be hit or miss.
I don't mind using my local suppliers, but they may have limited stock.

Ewa uses the standard UK cup sizes (D,DD,E,F,FF etc), it's just that they run a bit small.

Style wise they're quite narrow and projected cups so they really put your boobs front and centre! The styles vary a bit - the CH/CHP half cups are wider (but still narrow than most UK), whilst the S and PL are narrower and deeper.

That was my impression from previous threads. The Gaia's are also a bit projected, but as the two I purchased are soft, it's not as noticeable when my boobs are full.

Many thanks. Quite useful.
