I found ABTF...back when I was a 26 band size. At least I understood why I could never be happy.

Very glad I'm 30 pounds heavier now and can wear a 28 or even 30(!) band...

I thought I had it rough with a 28 band (since so many bras start at 30), I can imagine the difficulty of a 26.

Yeah, I resorted to custom ordering Ewa Michalaks (which sucked because at least back in 2012/2013 their QC was awful) or just tailoring the bands. I have no depth perception, so you can guess how good I am at sewing. (Hint: I am terrible at it.)

Edit: Oh, but Comexim is a decent option if you're a 26. They do custom sizes like EM, but their QC is much better.

I had started looking into some of the Polish companies but luckily I found that one of the most popular Panache bras fit me well.

Also I also have no depth perception and am terrible at sewing, I never made the connection between the two.

Comexim is the only brand I've found that's close-set enough for me, but I usually do wear Panache bras. My Ava and Roche are in very heavy rotation, and even if the gore on Claras stab me, they're so pretty...

I love that I can do complex math, speak multiple languages, etc. but ask me to thread a needle and I'm like 'that'll take an hour you better sit down'.
