So as a person with a tricky bra size, I love Polish bras. They fit my short-torsoed self. These are your friends if you are narrower in the ribcage/shoulders. Or need narrow under wires.
It's a good industry for Poland's designers to be getting into. In much of the world, this is an underserved business. There's obviously a huge demand for bras of all types... especially attractive ones... that fit!
I'm a Chantelle fan myself. They are a French line who makes bras for slim, busty gals like myself (I'm a 34H, and I think they range from 28-38 D-K or so). They are very comfortable, supportive, and I buy them affordably online. They don't come in hardly any colors, though; mostly that weird, "nude" color that really doesn't look like any real person's skin tone.
Ewa Michalak ones range from about $70-$100 depending on how complicated they are and the materials. The construction is way way nicer than Freya / Panache, so the premium price is worth it to me. Not much more than the more mainstream (full bust) brands.

Chanetelle cup sizes are much much smaller than the UK equivalents. They do not make many bras beyond H and their H fits like a UK FF or G. Their bands also run a little bit stretchier than equivalent UK sized ones, so I personally found I sized out since there wasn't enough cup volume available even though they had my "size." Where I get a 34H in brands like Curvy Kate, I need a 32J in Chantelle - which they don't have very often or stock where I live. When I was a bit heavier, I fit into their bras a little better (for me, weight gain means I go up in the band, down in the cup since I keep the ~ same volume at all sizes.) This means there was a cup / band combo that fit ok, but it stretched out much faster for me than other brands. So it didn't fit well for long.
Also Chantelle's construction didn't give me great shape and the wires were too wide for me! Really they weren't my perfect fit by a long shot!
I find they are also pretty basic looking. I found Ewa Michalak bras are super fun! No need to only get "utilitarian bras" because you are busty. There are normal ones and interesting ones in that brand! And there are even a few brown ones that are really close to nude for me.
I really appreciate the narrower wires because I find most brands are too wide and poke me in the side. I also find many have 2 part construction that doesn't give me great shape! Every Ewa bra I have tried on gave me the nice high and rounded look I like, no matter the style!
Two of the fun ones I have:
And here are some basic ones:
I have tried on pretty much every brand that is widely available so PM me for tips!

These sets are really cool. They also look pretty well made. There is nothing as annoying as a bra with poor support. I like the details on these. Would certainly give these a try.
Apparently Polish women must be the bustiest women on the planet because that brand runs up to some humongous cup sizes. The largest I think that are commercially available.
I would hope they are constructed well considering how much they want for them. My wife tends to beat the underwires out of the "cheaper" 50-70 bras after only a couple of months so she's been looking at these wondering if they are worth it.

Haven't had a busted underwire yet. Have had a few different bras for almost a year. And they are worn often. The construction is way better.
I really like Ewa Michalak, Nessa, and Gorsenia for Polish brands. Have found the sizing to be a little tricky to get right (Ewa seems to run smaller than Gorsenia in the cups so I size down in Gorsenia) but I've tried bras from both brands that give me great support a nice rounded shape.
