Awesome Polish Bra Brands You Should Know


Avocado Nina


    Ewa Michalak is not the only bra brand from Poland worth noticing. There are many reasons why you should get acquainted with these brands: designs that are different from those of many UK brands, very affordable prices thanks to the exchange rate of the zloty, and simply a bigger choice in those hard-to-get sizes.
Here I present to you several brands that produce pretty and comfortable lingerie, and most importantly -- in a big range of sizes.
   
   Please note that the bra sizes are continental EuropeanTo find out your EU size, you can use the  UKandEU converter from HerRoom as well as this chart. Don't use your Ewa Michalak size, since they use UK cup sizes.
   Also, although I have tried to find a couple of places international customers can buy bras from these brands, obviously I have not exhausted the possibilities. Please do your own searches for online and offline stores for these brands (simply type "name_of_barand + buy" into Google, in your language). If you live in central or east Europe, chances are pretty high that the brand is easily available in your country.



Priscilla and Fabricia

Kris Line

   Their sizing goes up to a KK O cup, bands start at 65. Interestingly, their bands have 5 sets of hooks on them, which makes them last way longer. The styles range from elegant to opulent, the bands run tight, and the cups are slightly small and a tad pointy. They also have a nice selection of seriously good-looking lounge wear, swimwear and maternity bras. Also, on their website you can see the bras modeled by smaller as well as fuller-busted models. Here is an interesting article about Kris Line via Hourglassy, and a comparison of Kris Line and Ewa Michalak via The Lingerie Addict.
   For international customers: You can find their bras on Brastop as well as BiggerBras; and at LabellaIntimates for you U.S. ladies.





Orlando and Annick In Love

Avocado:

   All their bras are base on one of their seven different bra constructions that are marked by letters of the alphabet, making choosing a style less of a guesswork. The designs are very sophisticated an original, in my opinion the most beautiful on the Polish market. My favourite is the Nina. Bands start from 60, cups go up to K. The prices are a bit higher than your average Polish / British bra, but the designs and quality are worth it.
   International customers: They mention that shipping within the EU is 35PLN and 50PLN worldwide. Try dropping them an email if you'd like to order!


Jacqueline and Tropical Paradise

Comexim:

  Sizes start at 60C, and cups go up till N. The underwires tend to be narrow, and the cups run a tad small.
   International customers: the site is in polish, but they do have an English language terms and conditions page where they mention the shipping costs of 56 PLN (economy package) or 70 PLN (priority package) within the EU. So I'm guessing you can pop them an email in English in case you'd like to place an order, like Linda did.



Cafe Latte and Verona 

Milena:

    Lots of interesting (opulent and dressy) designs, with sizes starting at 60AA, and cups going up to R. Bands go up to 100. The bands are very snug,
Prices start at 15€ which is dirt cheap,
    For international customers: the site has an English language button, and international shipping is offered (the shipping costs are available on request). They accept Paypal.



Latte Plunge and Tiramisu shorts.

Only Her

The online lingerie shop of the same name has recently started producing their own bras. The the designs are very pretty (remind me a bit of Fauve) and the brand focuses overall comfort  -- especially comfortable underwires. Bands start at 60, cups go up to KK. They carry sizes like 60B and 65A, which normally hard to find. Update: Apparently you can try to order sizes that are not on the page by contacting owner - Agnieszka via mail. How awesome is that?
    For international customers: the German-language site offers shipping to DE and AT.



 
Emma and Michelle

Dalia

    Sizes start from band 60 till band 95, cups go up to M. The bands vary from snug to normal, and the cups and the cups also vary from smallish to largish depending on the model. are pretty good (comfortable, supportive, give a nice shape).
     For international customers: Available at BustnLace.



 Gina and gorset koktajlowy

Gorsenia

   This brand produces everyday bras of a good quality. The cups go up to M, bands start at 65. Unfortunately their corsets, bodies; as well as their solutions for very low-cut dresses: the cocktail bra and corset come in a much smaller size range (why?). Underwires are broad, but narrower than those of Panache.
     For international customers: Available in this ebay store, Intimania as well as Amazon is some countries.



 
Ava 983 and Ava 986

Ava

   The bands start at 65, (thanks to bractivist emails sent by Polish women), cups go up to K and tend to run a bit large. Colours and patterns are on the subtle and subdued side. The underwires tend to be wide. The semi-soft models seem to be especially worth recommending (the underwires are narrow) due to their great construction. Just watch out, they seem to mix up the names of the cups. They call plunges full-cups and half-cups are called soft or semi-soft, but even this is not done consistently. The sizing is also not very consistent.
     For international customers: They have a couple of brick-and-mortar stores in several European cities, online via  Intimania 




Also worth checking out:



Konrad: Available at BustnLace as well as Amazon and this Ebay store.

Ewa Bien: Lots of light, airy creations in pretty colours. Bands start at 60 (however only at G cup), and end in J cup (75J). There isn't any info for international customers.

Samanta: Bands start at 65 and go up to K in some models. Again very aesthetically pleasing. There are available in several brick-and-mortar stores around Europe as well as astratex.cz

Thanks very much for this! I only knew about Ewa, Comexim and Kris Line so it's great to hear there's more! Avocado's Nina is stunning! :-)

My recent post Blog Birthday Giveaway! #1 Masquerade Amor
Wow, I am loving the look of so many styles on the Avocado website, especially the Nina and the purple Gloria! They're a bit more expensive than the bras I get from Figleaves, but they look so worth it! And they're still cheaper than bras here in Australia, anyway!
Is there a definitive cup size conversion for UK to the polish cup sizing? The 85b converter is a bit of a mess and my Cleo bra says a 32H is a 70H, but it's really around a Polish 70K, isn't it?
Thanks for posting some potential new online stores, I think I'll have to get my Polish friend over to help me with the ordering.

Yes, from what I gather Avocado markets itself as a more exclusive brand with luxurious pieces, hence the prices. According to a discussion on http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/18t2dg/venusian_glow_on_polish_brands_that_arent_ew_and/ you can use the UK->EU converter from HerRoom as well as this chart: http://bustyresources.wikia.com/wiki/Bra_sizing_by_country
Oh, they all sound amazing! I wish they shipped to the US....
I decided to try to order from Avocado, but it sure proved difficult as they have no english site and Google translator is far from allmighty. Everything went well until the payment part. I've contacted their customer service, so let's see if they can help.
How do you find out about all these wonderful shops? Please let us know if there's also another Polish brand like BiuBiu and Urkye, because I could also use more clothing!

In the past I have looked at Kris Line but they seemed to be out of everything that I liked in my size. I should check again in the future.

Avocado doesn't have my size for my two favorite bras, but I sent them an email about two others which also looked okay. They probably had my favorite bras of all the shops I've viewed so far.

Next I looked at Comexim, which I have been previously looking at as well. They don't have much in my size, but I found two I would consider (I'm a bit concerned, though, as I'm at the top of the range and can't size up). Their site does have an English option but the process failed at the shipping stage although I tried it in two browsers, so I sent an email.

I thought the options for Milena were lovely, but they didn't have anything at all in my size. I love this type of classic elegance and those kinds of prices, so that's unfortunate.

Only Her didn't have anything in my size either, so I dropped them an email since their search suggested I do that.

I haven't gotten around to Dalia, Konrad, or Samanta yet. (I'm sized out of Ewa Bien.)

I found out about them through Polish-language bra-fitting communities :) When reading that stuff, I saw that many of these brands have been steadily increasing their size range, so chances are your size might be available soon in some of them -- especially if you send them an emal about it.
Avocado was willing to make the two bras I loved which were out of stock, but I opted to order two bras they had in stock to try out the brand. If they work for me I'll request the other ones. Comexim didn't answer my email about the ordering problem I had with the website. Melissa was very helpful with email and I was able to order four (two of them bio) to try out.

That's probably enough new things to try for a while...
I love to hear about new brands to try! Then there's new possibilities to finda better fit than before.
Hey! I really recommend OnlyHer if you are looking for sth comfortable - especially in small sizes that are hard to get. Also, you can try to order sizes that are not on the page by contacting owner - Agnieszka via mail.
I am sort of missing Melissa, they do amazing work when it comes to large cup custom-made nursing bras. Their customer service has been outstanding, which cannot be said about Milena. (There is a thread buried in the German forum about all the trouble some people had ordering from Milena, apparently just because they have an English-language option does not mean that they are happy about customers from outside of Poland. The thread is from 2010/2011, so it could be that things changed, but I would be vary of them.)

Thanks for letting me know about Melissa. I will be adding it to this post.
Hey, I think it's also worthwile noting that OnlyHer is actually addressed mainly to small- and medium-chested ladies. I haven't yet seen an OnlyHer bra in a KK cup, FF is the largest cup size available so far. But they will broaden their range in time, they're working on it.

Also, Comexim bands tend to be on a VERY snug side. You can also contact the owner to make you a plunge bra with lower cups or detachable cups so that you get a pretty nursing bra that actually supports your breasts and gives them a lovely shape.
I was wondering if the cups and the band of Gorsenia bras are true-to-size..if someone knows. I couldn't find many reviews on google..actually just one.
Hi - I just came across these bras from Poland and I am excited to try some. US bras leave a LOT to be desired and the pretty and sexy ones are for small slim figures. I was wondering about the US conversion to Polish sizes. I cannot seem to find the conversion. Can someone help me?

Poland normally uses EU sizes, you can find some conversion charts online. However US sizing is a mess with their D, DD, DDD and DDDD cups, so I recommend measuring yourself according to my guide and recording your UK size, and then converting that to EU size.

Avocado has it's own sizing system, you can find it on their site.
