This bra is absolutely gorgeous. I especially love the velvet straps. Unfortunately, the cups curve in at the top to the level the underwire is at, like a C shape almost, and it means it doesn't work with my breast shape in the least. Seems to run a little small in the cup.

Very comfy cotton, and really works amazingly as tshirt bra - no lines at all. Otherwise, can't really say, as it is a totally wrong size for me.

This is definitely the best fit I've found to date. Unfortunately, it isn't as uplifting as I'd like, and the side slings slightly misshape my very soft breasts, so it doesn't look too great in a profile view https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> But the fabric is very silky and comfy (which makes it far superior to my Cleos,) the sides actually come up high enough to keep my boobs from sneaking back out, the band is the perfect firmness, and generally it's just lovely. The bow pattern is so cute too!

Full coverage never works for my shape, and this seems to be no exception. It comes back in towards my body so far at the top that I have zero cleavage (It actually seems to pull the tops of my breasts down and away.) I get faint quadboobing and the gore won't tack, but at the same time, the bottom of the cup wrinkles because it is empty. Seems to be for people with very separated breasts, and it doesn't do anything to pull them in. The cups (and as a result) my breasts are far enough out to the sides that my arms bump them when I wear this. Very comfortable material, but otherwise not great.

For starters, the band seems to run a little big in this (not a full size, though.) Although to be more accurate, it's not that the band is very much too big (although I did find myself hooking it on the middle and tightest hook) but that it's not very stretchy - I would much prefer it measure waaay shorter unstretched and just stretch a lot.

The shape of this bra is absolutely wrong for me. It's pretty shallow and has quite wide underwires. I look as though I need to size up in it, but I think a G would gape, and instead I just need something with ... narrower underwires and more projection.

The material is nice, not too thick and comfortable (nothing like a moulded cup bra for keeping your boobs from noticing there's anything on them) and the upper edge doesn't show too badly through shirts like some moulded bras.

As far as full on top vs full on bottom style goes, I think it falls about in the middle - it would probably gape on someone very full on bottom, but it curves in enough that it would cut in on someone who's very full on top.

In shape, it's actually very much like a Victoria's Secret type moulded cup bra. The straps are not as wideset as in most unpadded bras in lines like Curvy Kate and Freya. I thought I would like this but it ended up bothering me due to armpit spillage (but the cup depth had a lot to do with that too.)

I would definitely recommend those bras for those who need wider underwires, though.

Update now that I'm in a larger size and still have the bra. I am currently between a 32FF/G and a 34F/FF after some weight gain. This comexim bra now fits close to perfectly. My larger breast wants to quad right after swoop and scoop but settles in (I really have too soft of tissue for the comexim plunge cut, but in this case a size down from what I technically measure at means I can get away with it). I would say the bra (after band sproinging, which took a few wears) fits like a loose 32FF. I have narrow roots and even then the wire just ... barely is wide enough to avoid sitting on tissue (on the bigger breast, it does creep onto it just a little).

------

I finally got ahold of a Comexim! I was ordering from Well-fitting, and since the size their calculator said I should get was the only size in stock on this clearance bra, I decided to try their recommendation. (I have been wearing 30G - 32FF (UK) with a tiny bit of quadding in both sizes.) This fit spot on perfectly for the first 3 wears or so. Then the back stretched to needing it on the mid or tightest hook, and the cups did a weird stretchy thing where I get gaping on the inner plunge area.

The weirdest problem I have with this is that the top elastic of the band seems too loose, while the bottom elastic cuts in painfully. I love this bra, though - finally wires that fit me! Unfortunately it is a little lumpy under shirts and the gaped edge tends to be very visible. The lace also started pilling about two months in. I will definitely continue trying to find my perfect Comexim fit, though! This gives me hope.

Pretty barmaid cleavage produced by shallow cups. (Those same shallow cups give a flattened-against-window look under shirt.) I find this uncomfortable for my shape, though. The seam is uncomfortable against the breast tissue due to the overly shallow cup. The satin parts are the biggest problem--both the front of the straps and the front bit of the bra band don't stretch because they're satin not elastic. Because I have rib flares on both sides, the non-stretch section is a problem. This causes both straps and band to feel too small and too big at the same time (because the back halves are made of stretchy elastic, apparently to compensate.) Rode up in back but cut in painfully on rib flares, and cut into shoulders if I tightened the straps enough to prevent cup gaping. So pretty, but the detailing showed through most things, even with a tank over it.

They sent me the 38FF, mislabelled, instead of the 30FF I ordered. I kept it since that's the size my mum measures at, but evidently she needs to size down for pendulous breasts. Other than that, all I can really tell is that the bra is really pretty and it cuts in quite sharply at the top so should be good for full on bottom breasts.

Band runs big, I suggest sizing down. See more in my review for the 30E I had in this bra.

Literally my favorite bra of all time (even though it didn't fit right.) Amazing unique construction - it's moulded, but there's no foam. Hard to explain... they call it "laminated" in their description. The entire thing is one piece of material, and there's no stitching involved. It's very thin, but because the molded fabric isn't super flexible, no headlight peekage goes on. The most comfortable thing I've ever had on. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued and had a limited size range in the first place. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />(( But seriously, if you ever have an opportunity to get your hands on one, do it. Even if it's a sister size. Just do it. You won't regret it.
