Straps are too far apart for my liking, and there is slight quad-boob. Also, wires on SM models are too wide for me, and I can't fill out the bottom of the cup because of this.

I cannot say enough good things about Comexim, and the amazing bras the brand makes. While I appreciate the unparalleled support Ewa Michalak bras provide, their stiffer fabrics and wires often leave my sensitive skin, particular closer to my arm pit and where the wire ends, irritated by the end of the day. I've never had that issue with Comexim, though. I generally, in some way, notice my bra throughout the day, but Comexim bras are the only ones that I actually forget I'm wearing.
As far as fit and sizing go, after some experimentation with sizes and customizations, I believe a 75J with the standard gore is ... my best fit based on my current size. I initially tried this bra in a 75J, but the band was extremely tight, as it's double-lined, even with an extender. The 80HH in this model has perfect cups, but the band is a bit looser than I'd like considering it's a new bra. I can wear it fine now on the second or third in row of hooks (out of four), but past experience tells me Comexim bands tend to stretch considerably with wear, so I'd rather the band be tighter and wear an extender for a bit. I may also just be in between their band sizes, which is very likely, as I fluctuate between a 32 and 34 band based on the brand and band tightness. My current size is 32H/34GG, and this bra feels like the equivalent of a 34GG.
The cups are incredible. The fabric is extremely soft yet supportive. The shape is exactly what I want in a bra -- projected and round, yet held close to my body. I prefer to keep the perfected EM 'up to my chin effect' for special occasions, rather than everyday office wear. And the looks of this bra are incredibly unique. For whatever reason, I've noticed the bras in their fabrics are brighter and more jewel toned than any other brand I've owned. If you have the patience to deal with slow communication and shipping from Poland, Comexim is definitely a brand worth trying.

The band is a bit too tight for me, but it's an otherwise beautiful bra. Great narrow wires and projection.

Beautiful, but band too tight for me. Wonderful for those who need narrow wires and a lot of projection.

Decided to try this from Bare Necessities, after they ran a 25% off sale on their site, and am super glad I did! It's gorgeous, and fits much better than expected. The cups are very stretchy, and remind me of the stretchy lace found on Panache Andorra, which means it'll wok well for both FoT and FoB boobs. The support is light, and definitely not an in-your-face cleavage factor, but the shape I get from this is round and close to my chest. It's also double-lined in larger sizes, so I feel very secure in it, while it doesn't have that awful effect Freya sheer bras have in larger sizes. All in all, this is a great bra! I only wish they made this in a UK 32H, as the band is quite stretchy. Be mindful sizes are U.S. based, so this 34J is the equivalent of 34GG. I will be purchasing more from the line.

I love this bra! It's gorgeous, and definitely more stunning in person than in pictures. The band is perfect for me, between a 32 and a 34. The cups fit true to size, and per my usual, I have to take out the cookie on my larger size to avoid quadding. The material of the bra is super soft and comfy, but it's also sturdy enough to provide great uplift and support. The wires are super narrow on this, even more so than other CHPs I have. It's definitely one of my best fitting bras in my current rotation.
I also have the matching brief, and would say they run a bit large. They're fairly full coverage, definitely more of a boy-short fit than a brief , but I love them and are worth the splurge for the matching set. The light pink lace offsets the cherry blossom pattern perfectly. With the combo of gray and pink, it is feminine without barfing Barbie.

After a couple of months of back and forth, I finally have my Emeline! First off, I can't say enough good things about the customer service with AP. Anna (not the same Comexim Anna) is extremely friendly and caring, and was super helpful during the entire process of ordering and waiting for my bra to arrive. Additionally, they customize bras for free and even accept returns from customized bras if it doesn't work--amazing!
On to the bra. It's gorgeous, and definitely superior quality to majority of the bras I have, including Comexim. I ordered it with a higher gore, before figuring out the higher gore no longer works ... for me. The cups are not ideal because of this, but it still works. The cups are basically TTS, but I may benefit from a cup size up since I do have some tissue escaping from the side. The shape is exactly like what I get from Comexim, and the wires are wonderfully narrow. My only issue with this bra is the band. The 34 is just a *bit* too tight for my liking. I can wear it without an extender, but it's painful by the end of the day, and I can see the strain on the hooks and eyes. With an extender, I find I need to tighten it and move down the hooks continually throughout the day to have a secure fit. Additionally, the band is just smaller/not as tall than I'd like, and makes me a bit lumpy in the back. I'd like to try a 36, but I'm afraid it'd be too loose after a few wears.
At the moment, I'm between a 32 and 34, so maybe their band sizes don't work well for those in between sizes? I don't have enough familiarity with the brand to be sure. I do want to order another in the brand, for comparison, but have to decide if I'll go for the 36 or stick with a 34 band. It's possible that a cup size up to 34H may be the way to go, too, as I do have that escaping tissue at the side. Presumably, the band would be wider, too, in the larger cup size, which would feel more secure.
Edit: after receiving a Comexim shipment in the correct size, and comparing the cups, I've surmised the cup is too small. I've contacted Anna with the brand, and she has graciously offered to send me both a 36GG and a 34H to try on to figure out my size. I'll add the correct size bra once I receive it!

This review is for the pink/gray colorway. While the color is not quite what I was expecting (it's a bit dull), the fit is fantastic! The band is a bit tight, but I suspect it will loosen up with a few wears, as Comexim bras so often do. I have some slight quadding with my larger boob, but I know a cup size up would simply be too big all around. Fantastic narrow wires, fully adjustable straps, and the support keeps my boobs where I want them -- up and at 'em, but not to my chin like I often feel is the case with Ewa Michalak bras. The support is certainly lighter then EM bras, but I personally prefer it for everyday. For those more familiar with UK sizing, I'd say this is the equivalent of a UK 32H.

Love the look and shape this gives, but there is absolutely no stretch to this band. When I wear it with an extender, the shape it provides is super round and lifted -- surprisingly so for an unpadded bra. I also think I would do better in one cup smaller. This fits my larger boob well, and wrinkles a bit on the smaller. With the stretchy lace, I think a smaller size could accommodate just fine. I also found the wires super narrow, which I didn't expect. Love this, but would like to try it in an 80G.

So happy to have this gem back in my rotation. See my review of the 75H for more details. I sold my 75H, and purchased the 70HH, as the band runs big in this one. Cups are TTS for EM, but definitely size down in the band.
