Oh man.... I was really hoping I could have a successful Comexim order because of how much I love the look of this bra but the fit on this is just terrible. Overall, the bra is just not shaped right. The bra seems to just assume VERY outer full breasts. The apex of the cup is too far outwards for me, and there's a lot of empty space of the outside of the cup. The cups are also too tall overall, while the gore is very short so I fall out the center (I actually had a nip slip out the top of the cup about 15 minutes after putting it on). I'll try to get measurements up soon, but just wanted to add to the large cup Comexim fail reviews we have going

I just got this bra today and I love the fit. I usually get a 70J, and I'm not sure if the 70JJ is just overall a better size or if the 4 part cup construction is a better shape match or both, but this bra seems to be a much better fit for me than the 70J S cut bras. I like the color on it, but (in my opinion) its less bright than the website makes it appear. I'm not sure how the color will look on me once summer is over and I lose my tan.

For a little extra info, this band seems to run a little tighter than most of my other EM 70 bands, and this bra has an overlapping gore.

The Top Today’s review is going to be featuring my new S Mojito bra from Ewa Mic

This bra is a bit of a frankenbra. I ordered it with the following alterations:
Added cookie pockets
Lowered gore
Narrowed gore
Overlapping gore
Straps moved in 4cm
Cup height reduced 3 cm
Made using wires of size 65P bra

Overall, these alterations worked really well for me (yielding a narrow and projected bra, with a width of 16.5cm and a depth of 35cm). Unfortunately, I've had a lot of growth lately, and this bra with these alterations fits probably about two or three cup volumes too small for me.

To start with the review: this bra is much softer than I had expected. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting or how its even different, ... but the whole bra just kind of gives off a softer vibe. The bra itself has much more immediate projection than I usually get with the longlines. The biggest downside to the fact that this bra is a longline is the fact that the band isn't long enough to hit the bottom of my rib cage. Since my ribs are flared out, the band rolls up. I wish the band was longer to sit below my bottom rib in the front. The band on this is pretty TTS and comes with a 5x3 clasp. It's hard to say about the cups, since I've never ordered a bra in this size with these alterations before.

I don't like the bottoms as much as I had hoped to. The front of them is basically non-stretch, so they're not super comfortable and everything digs in more than most of their other bottoms. I also think the elastic is firmer. I'm not sure if they also sit at a different spot in the back, or if I just notice it more since it digs in. You do also definitely have to be careful doing the zipper.

Overall, I really like the look of the set but there are some issues with the fit for me

My Comexims are finally here! I'll input my Charme later, though the fit is pretty similar (with the Charme having maybe a teeny bit more cup volume, though I wish it was the opposite since I ordered the Rita with cookie pockets!). For now I'll start with this bra.

I ordered the Rita in a 70N with the following alterations:
Reduced cup height
Raised gore
Straps moved in
Added cookie pockets
Made into a longline
Extra column of hooks

The reduced cup height definitely works well for me. I don't have the strap gap that I experienced in the Sonia (disclaimer: Sonia plunge is my only unaltered Comexim, so I'll be drawing lots of comparisons to ... it). The cup height was mainly reduced near the outside of the cup, though I'm not sure how much of this is due to the fact that I raised the gore as well (which kind of makes it hard to reduce the cup height near the middle).

The raised gore also works really well for me. I don't have the same sense that I'm about to fall into the middle that I had with the standard gore height. I think that it works because I'm not super close set and don't have tons of inner fullness. It makes the bra fit more like a balconette, which tends to hold everything in a little better for me.

I'm unsure as to whether or not the straps were moved in. They look like they're placed similarly to my Sonia, which was unaltered. I'll probably have them moved in a little more next time, but they work well enough as is.

I haven't tried this bra on with pads in the cookie pockets yet, but I'm glad I added them. There isn't really ever a downside to adding them, so I've added them to all of my Comexim orders (except the Charme because I forgot). I'm hoping that I'll get a little more oomph with pads in, since the alterations I requested make this bra fit less like a plunge bra (which means I lose some cleavage).

I was nervous about the band of this bra fitting since I had had it made into a longline. My ribcage is flared at the bottom, which I didn't consider until well after I had ordered the bra. I was nervous about it being too tight at the bottom, but it actually fits me really well. I almost wish though that it was a bit tighter at the top. It's not loose enough that I want to wear it on the second set of hooks just yet, but I think I will have to move there sooner than I'd like. The band measures at 32.5 stretched, which is a full inch larger than my comfortable rib cage measurement.

I guess its a good thing that I ordered an extra column of hooks! This bra has 3 columns of hooks with 5 hooks per column. Hopefully the third column of hooks will give me a little more wear out of the band.

Now for a few more technical notes that aren't related to the alterations I requested. This bra seems to be narrower and deeper than the Sonia plunge bra. The depth could be due to the fact that this is one size larger (and that likely is why), but the narrower wires aren't what I expected. I tend to do better with narrower, more projected bras though so its perfect for me! The ribbon on the top of this bra also makes it more closed on top that the Sonia, so if you're fuller on top or have taller roots, this might be something to take into account. I love this bra though!

Once again, the SM cut has served me well. After receiving an SM Bezyk which was too tall in the cup, I was nervous about how this one would fit me, and I think it fits very well!

The cups fit about true to size, but are shorter than some other SM cups (which is a good thing for me). The top part of the cup does flatten me a little, but not enough to be a big concern. However, if you're fuller on top or have taller roots, that might be something to be aware of.

I sister sized up in the band because Ewa noted that this band ... runs small. I think that that is an accurate statement, but its probably closer to half of a band size small, rather than a full band size small (so if you're on the smaller end of your current band size, you'll probably be fine sticking to that).

I love this bra though! Coupled with the matching bottoms, it makes me feel like a ballerina https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I'll begin by saying that this bra is not a perfect fit. The wires are definitely too wide (about 3cm wider than I'd like), the gore is very tall for a reduced gore, there isn't much immediate projection, and even with a very reduced height, there's some strap gap.

That being said, this is by far the comfiest bra I own. By far. The Ingrid material seems to be softer (and stretchier) than most of their other bras. I had issues with my last order of 65 bands from Comexim being waaaaay too tight, but this one is a perfect fit in the band so that's a plus. Every ... time I size up though, I'm more and more shocked by how large the cups are...

Also just for a little experiment, I tried putting one of my cookies into the outside of the cup sideways (because the pockets are tall enough that I can put my cookies in sideways) to take up some of the extra space created by the too wide wires. It gives a pretty nice pushup effect.

I just received this bra courtesy of BumbleBean and I really like it! It is a much better fit than my CHP Opium that I just bought for one big reason: The foam on this bra is very thin. On the Opium, the thick foam rubs a lot under my arms, but I don't have this issue with the thinner foam of the Marcepan. Unfortuantely, part of the reason the cups are so thin is the lack of cookie pockets (though I don't really neeeed cookie pockets, so that wasn't a deal breaker for me).

This is the first bra in my collection that can function as a nude for me, and for a "boring" bra its very nice looking. The little light pink bows on the gore and straps, as well as the light pink straps, dress up the beige color of the bra without taking away from its ability to function as a nude for lighter skin tones.

This is the second EM bra I've tried (the first was an S Colette in a 75HH) and while it is a better fit, it is definitely less comfortable. The bra is a three part cup, with a ribbon sewed onto the top seam. Unfortunately, this ribbon embellishment looks a bit odd under clothes (it creates almost a pointed look). It is a beautiful looking bra though, with a mesh animal print overlay and a light purple flower in the center of the bra.
The fit of this bra is amazing! I think that the cup is actually slightly larger than that of the 75HH Colette that I tried ... (either that or I shrunk a little bit, which is also possible. We'll know when I get around to measuring I guess). I was almost quadding out of the Colette but this one perfectly contains me. The wires are narrow enough for me, and it offers great projection and lift (I think that the angle picture I have up doesn't do this bra justice). My one fit complaint would have to be the straps (I know, that's everyones complaint). The straps actually weren't an issue for me in the Colette that I tried, but these straps feel a little different somehow. I think that part of it is the material. The bra has a mesh overlay which is a little itchy on my armpit. I think that these straps might also be a little bit more wide set.
Minor issues aside though, I love how this bra looks on me and its definitely a keeper! I'll just throw in a little side note on the bottoms though (which are super comfy): if you're between sizes, definitely get the smaller one! With 43 inch hips, I wish I'd gone for the large (42) rather than the XL (44).

Aw man... This bra looked so nice online, so I had high hopes for its appearance even if it wasn't the most supportive. In person its just... Weird.

The fit is actually not bad, though the top section makes me a little nervous in terms of durability with how thin the mesh is. There's a bit of spillage as was expected, but I was mostly planning on a cool bedroom piece and this is the biggest size she'd make it in, so I went for it. All in all, fit isn't the best for me but that's what I expected.

The little lace overlay looks absolutely ridiculous though. Its too ... long, so even though its stretchy, it isn't being stretched at all. Its also really far out, so that part slides off my shoulders. Plus there's essentially just a piece of lace in my armpits which looks strange. It almost doesn't seem like a scaling issue, because even in absolute measurements mine looks closer to the wire than the pictures do (which once you factor in that I have a LOT more cup width, makes it look even worse). It's also "stitched" to the cup, EXTREMELY loosely to the point where that stitch looks like an afterthought (and on one side is actually already coming undone).

Overall, I generally expect not a ton of support from Comexim but some really cute designs. Unfortunately, I give this one a thumbs down even in the look department https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I love this bra! I am however going to keep this review on the shorter side since it fits very similarly to my Rita longline. This bra is a beige color with a black mesh overlay, and a lace panel followed by a black ribbon at the top. The straps are nice and thick, and the bra features a large black ribbon bow in the middle (all of which can be seen in my pictures).

The first thing I noticed when I put on this bra is how tight the band is relative to the Rita longline I have. While the Rita stretched to about 33.5 inches (which is ... longer than I'd want for a 70 band, but not so looser as to compromise the support since it is a longline), this band stretched to just over 31 inches. This is a tiny bit snugger than I'd like given my comfortable underbust measurement of 31.5 inches, but hopefully it'll loosen a bit. It's still wearable for now. I'm sure that it is at least partially the coloring/material but if you compare the angle view of the Rita (http://bra.pe/I4XG/) to the angle view of the Charme, the bottom of the band definitely appears to fit differently.

The cup also felt a bit deeper than the Rita. However, the measurements say that this extra depth I felt was pretty negligible (the wires are about 0.12 inches narrower and the cup is about 0.03 inches deeper on the Charme, which isn't really significant. The wires on the Charme are a little bit longer though (by a little over 3/4 of an inch), so maybe all of these factors combined made just enough of a difference to be noticeable.

Other than these two differences, the bras are very similar in fit, as they both have all the same alterations. They're both keepers!

EDIT: Just wanted to put in a little edit here after wearing. The bra is pretty comfortable, however it doesn't stay in my IMF at all. It's actually really hard to even force them into my IMF (I have to kind of lean over and shimmy a little) and then once I do, its hard to adjust the band so that it lays flat without pulling it out. The wires seemed to be most comfortable hanging out about the bottom of the front of my rib cage. When I took the bra off, the bottom of the band looked noticeably tighter which was probably the biggest issue. I might just resign this one to be a bedroom/lounging bra (because its so pretty!)
