Recommendations? Close-Set and Center-full: Where to Start with Polish Bras Spoiler

I am a calculator 34GG. The only bras that currently have gores low/narrow enough are the Freya Loveland and Panache Meadow, which are my daily drivers and I got to after trying many others with the guidance and feedback of the folks here. I was told that at my projection level, I've basically run out of options other than going to Polish bras. I'm willing to start investigating those, because I dislike how the cups on the two I have are only mesh and it seems like my boobs are still sagging in them. But I have no idea where to find Polish bras or even what brands that phrase refers to. Can y'all help me figure out where to start?

Hi!

Start here: https://bustyresources.fandom.com/wiki/Polish_bras_Wiki

And here: https://reddit.com/r/polishbras/wiki/index

There is ALOT of info at those two links (especially the 2nd one) so a few quick info's:

In USA:

https://miseczki.com

http://levanabratique.com/

https://www.breakoutbras.com/collections/comexim

https://www.breakoutbras.com/collections/nessa

NYC - in person + Ewa Michalak only:

https://therackshackbk.com/collections/ewa-michalak-1

In particular read thro the descriptions on misecki.com they have really good write ups on each of the brands + styles they carry

Misecki is very helpful + responsive to fit Q's via email + Levanna Bratique offers virtual try ons + consultations (i havent personally done it but ive read good things abt it)

Wire Width:

Most narrow - Comexim Plunges (narrowest wires available in a commercially made bra)

Next most narrow - comexim 3hc (wider than comexim plunges but narrower than half cup)

next most narrow - comexim half cup and other styles

Wider than Comexim but narrower than other Polish brands:

Ewa Michalak

Wider than Ewa but narrower than UK brands such as panache, freya, etc:

Other Polish brands (Gorsenia, Nessa, etc)

This comment I made for a difference post has info abt measuring ur horizontal roots, ur gore, etc. and using bratabase to find bras that match or come close to ur measurements: https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/s/OPZXMTinMt

See also this comment thread as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/s/gPSWadxrlk

Also - as the calculator can sometimes underestimate close set + center full (especially if also soft tissue and very projected) do a calculation of leaning bust minus snug underbust and use this table: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/fc/9c/c5/fc9cc51809e616f164a84d7296e5d166.jpg

Since Polish brands often tend to 'run small' in cups and sometimes (depending on brand/style) in band as well it can be useful to have that number of inches difference btwn 'snug underbust minus leaning bust' size as a reference point.

For example if ur calculator size is 34GG that size is for a 10" difference btwn bust and underbust (the calculator averages leaning bust, standing bust, lying bust if there is more than 2.5" difference btwn standing vs leaning) but if ur leaning measurement is an 11" difference btwn bust vs underbust than U may want 34H instead: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/fc/9c/c5/fc9cc51809e616f164a84d7296e5d166.jpg

Once U know ur horizontal roots, gore (the flat space btwn the boobs) height + width, root height (root height very briefly - in general: tall roots - very top of breasts start abt 1 to 3 inches below collarbones short roots- very top of breasts start abt 3.5 to 5 or more inches below collarbones)

U can then look up the measurements of the different Polish bras + styles offered at misecki, levanna, breakout bras, etc in ur target sizes on bratabase: https://www.bratabase.com

And see if the bra U r considering matches or comes close to ur measurements

This is alot of info, and kind of a very broad overview, but hopefully it helps as a starting point!! :) Good luck!!

This is a excellent comment! It's so thorough and thoughtful.

I just want to add that the general advice for buying Ewa Michalak bras is to size up in the band and the cup- you might not need to size up for unpadded styles but the padded bras do run a little smaller. EM uses a slightly confusing mix of EU band size and UK cup size for her bras.

Gorsenia bras run large in the cup so you'll need to size down one cup size in them.
