This bra is too big for me in the band, as I bought it because it was on clearance and I was being hopeful. My biggest problem with it has been that even as short as they will go, the straps are too long for me. I also get a lot of gapping at the top of the cup. However, it is cute and very comfortable otherwise.

I got this because I had the Maddie 7091 (http://bra.pe/MBvZ/) in a 32F and it was really comfortable, but too small in the cups (lots of quadding, floating gore, and worst of all, tons of back/armpit squidge).
However, much to my surprise, even though this is the same cut, it is SO MUCH less comfortable. The fabric is scratchy and the cups are much, much stiffer. The other felt like a VS bra but this one is pretty miserable. The sizing up didn't help me, either. I still quad slightly in this if I really scoop everything in, but the cups come up so high it ... gapes most of the time. The worst part is the wires. They're so wide that they actually extend to the /back/ edge of my armpits.
I have a narrow root and a lot of projection, so this bra is just not going to work for me. Band also runs on the stretchy side, and I'm at the bottom edge of a 32 so I think a 30 would have suited me better. Might be good for someone with shallow projection and wide roots, and I think it's open enough to suit a tall root as well. It does give a nice round shape, although very little lift.

Since I got this bra, it has turned into the only one I'll wear. It's finally dying now, 2 years after purchase, and I'm at a loss because nothing else even compares.
It's the only molded bra that even comes close to accommodating my projection (although I still get a crease at the bottom of the cup) and has lovely narrow underwires that don't hang out in my armpit. I do wish they came up a touch higher, but otherwise they're great.
It was a little stiff at first and required some breaking in, but otherwise is very comfortable. Gives the ideal shape and great cleavage. Cups are good for a tall root--they cut in enough to prevent gaping but not so much as to create quadding. My only complaints are the strap anchorage, which is shoddy, uncovered, and rubs uncomfortably, and the stupid stretchy Freya band that exploded from a 30 to something more like a 34 after about 5 months of wear.

I was certain I was going to like this cut better than the Hatty I previously had, but I'm not sure it's better. Like all Decos, there isn't enough immediate projection for me at the bottom of the cup, but in these it's almost worse than usual. Instead of just getting a crease, I push out a whole fold of bra at the bottom. Other than that it's almost a perfect fit. As always, stupid Deco straps chafe at the armpit and band runs a little bit big. The top edge of this does stand out/gape just a little bit (even though there's some quadding after full swoop and scoop), but still great under shirts.

The upper lace on this bra is too open for my shape. It wrinkles even when the cups are too small and swoop and scoop makes them quadboob briefly before they fall away.

Faaantastic cleavage bra. I also find the pattern cute, although not my style. It is not the most comfortable thing I've had, however. This is one of those bras where the bottom elastic strip on the band is tighter than the rest of the band, leaving a very uncomfortable indent after more than a few hours of wear. The cup runs very small--this fits much more like a 28FF or 30F than its labelled size. Bottom of the cup is a bit shallow for me and I get creasing, but I get that in most if not all padded bras.

First off, this bra is /incredibly/ gorgeous. The lace, split straps, and gore detailing are all so cute. It's also pretty high quality, which is what I was most worried about when I ordered it. The lace is lined with a comfy silky fabric. The stripe things at the gore are quite sturdy and made of the same material as the wire casing, and it has reinforced wings and a FOUR hook closure. That's enough reason alone to love it.
With that said, the fit is also pretty good. The band runs big (Maybe even a full size; it doesn't seem quite that big on me but my cup ... fit may be distorting it) and the cup small (at least a full cup size on my very projected breasts, but I think this is going to vary a lot depending on your breast shape). The wires are average width, maybe even a touch narrow, and the cups are shallow and open on the top. There's a line of elastic across the top but I was surprised to find that it didn't cut in or leave a line (any more than the quadboob justified).
The wings and strap positioning (though straps are very wide) work out just perfectly for my frame and tissue distribution, so I don't get any armpit spillage or squidge even though the cups runneth over. (As opposed to cuts like Cleo, where anything that could have been quadboob magically runs to my sides and back instantly.) I adore vertical seam bras, and this is no exception. It gives a beautiful round shape from the front, a slightly flattened side profile, and gorgeous mounded cakes-on-a-plate-style cleavage. Of course, that cleavage is to some extent because I should be in a 30G or even 30GG (which they don't make) instead of this 32F (32G U.S.).

I was never under any illusions that this fit and my shape were likely to get along SUPER well, but I saw a great deal on it and thought it might work since I need a bigger size right now. Uh… insert “our expectations for you were low but holy $&?!“ meme.
Let’s say I will definitely be sticking to my Panache Sport Sports Bra (5021) . This was so wide and shallow and high apex and weird that I could only get my boobs into the hollows designed for them by forcibly shoving them down and toward my armpits. Absolutely bizarre East-westy. Managed to wrinkle, be empty in the bottom, quad-boob, AND gape. And I’m pretty sure that’s all while in the correct size!!! Remarkable. Narrow, tall roots, close-set tissue, immediate lower projection, functional FoT folks, stay away from this one. Even if you see it on eBay for cheap. PS I would say band runs close to a size tight.

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.

Nowhere near my size, so hard to review. Seems as though it would offer good support and be comfortable, and the padding at the sides adds nice lift. If it weren't 3 sizes too small and could hold my boobs in I think it would be an amazing sleep bra (but work for daytime as well.)
