This Fantasy Illusion bra in 30G is a better fit than my previous poorly fitting bras, but still is not the right fit. I like this bra, I chose it because the straps are fairly close together and I wanted to try a bra with side support. The biggest issue for me is the high center gore that dug into my sternum slightly. It also pinched my breast tissue when I tried to scoop and swoop and just did not work with my center fullness. (I had a feeling the gore would be problematic though) A 28 band fits a bit better on me but I am unsure ... if this brand makes that band size. I think I should have gotten a 30FF instead of a 30G when going up in the band. With my asymmetry, I had more wrinkling and some space not filled out at the bottom on my right breast. I did like the bras construction and vertical seams. The design helped bring my boobs to the front rather than what usually happens, either my breasts running away to the sides, or my breast tissue exploding out of the top/quad boobing. I liked the strap placement being close enough together. The comfortable band material and thickness with 3 hooks was nice. I prefer a bra in other colors, like black. In person the white looks a little plain, but up close it's cute. I like the stretchy lace material on top, in the correct size it would help contain my tissue that swells up at certain times of the month when my breasts become a bit more FOT. I am petite, and short in the torso 4ft 9 115lbs so I am greatful this bra did not poke me in the armpits. I usually wear plunge bras, and I am use to more cleavage, but having the pressure off of my neck and shoulders was great, and my posture is so much better than when I was wearing a 36 band. I think I am going to skip trying Fantasie bras with gores equal too or taller/wider. I am so done wearing ill fitting padded bras though! This bra was a decent attempt to build from, but I am still searching Megan. *Edit* Origenally reported this bra as the Fantasie Fusion Bra (that I also considered buying) but this is the Fantasie Illusion with Side Support.

This 65J Victoria Half Cup bra from Comexim is wonderful. This is the 2 part half cup, rather than the two seamed 3HC 3 part halfcup version. I love how this bra looks and have been wanting one for a while. I would prefer black lace instead of navy to match my panties better but I still really love it. I am unsure how I feel about the eyelash lace detail, I thought I would hate it but its a pretty addition (I feel similarly about it on other lingerie/clothing as well) The top eyelash lace kind of hides the subtle quadding on my larger side. When ... I tuck the lace edges in it looks good as well and it almost looks like a totally different bra. I really love lacey overlays and prefer black and neutrals lingerie/clothes over bright colors and funky patterns. These cups are fairly light but are sturdy and well constructed to do the job.

I bought this after buying the Comexim Beauty Half Cup 3HC in a size 60H that was impressive but way too small in the cups. I decided to look for one a few cup sized larger and in 65 band as well. My comfortable UB measurment is 28inches. This band is longer and stretcher than the Beauty Half Cups was so I think I could have worn a 60 in this version but for now 65 is fine. I have scoliosis and I think it effects the tension on parts of the band but my other back issues leave me needing to make sure theres enough support. The cup size certainly looks and feels more appropriate. I feel like I could have maybe gone up one cup size or have a little increased depth at the bottom of the cups. This bra did not have cookie pockets, but I am thinking in the future I may get the ones with pockets and use the inserts on my smaller higher more narrow breast. I currently wear around a UK 28G 28F 30F 30FF depending on the bra and have fairly narrow and very centerfull breasts and find these Comexim bras very comfortable. I have been buying Comexim and Ewa Michalak Bras secondhand but I plan to order direct in the future so I can request any alterations I would need. Love this bra!

This bra is so comfortable. I got it for a great price and never would have bought it otherwise. It is so comfortable and kind of cute. Its basic black and comfortable with a little lace up on the strap edges, and between and on top of the cups that is between 0.5 and 0.75inches wide. The lace is not itchy. The bra has a lot of stretch, I laid it out and it measured only about 22 or 23 inches but easily stretched close to 30. I wear a 28 or 30 band so overtime this may loosen up I think. This bra is wireless which ... is comfortable for me. My breasts are different sizes with different roots it's nice and comfortable to not have to struggle and agonize over painful wires/gores. I can scoop and swoop a little cleavage into this bra if I want too. It may not be super flattering under clothing (there is a seam in the middle of the soft cups) but it's mostly a bra I would wear at home anyways. The material is soft and at this time supports okay, not enough for extreme exercise though. The band has multiple sets of hooks with 4 hooks per row! (3 rows of 4) which I prefer rather than bras that have. Front close or only 2 hooks per tow. The straps do adjust enough. The cups may be a smidgen wide but hard to notice in the soft cups. This is not a bra I would be too picky about, and I normally would have passed it on the shelf but I am really glad I got it with a few others! I wish it was a 28 band because I have a feeling this soft flexible stretchy material will lose support over time, I may get another similar bra to alternate for wearing at night or around the house. Usually bralettes are either too small and tight or the band is too loose as I size up for a big enough cup (when I buy in small, medium, large, xl) I am happy this 30F bralette fits. It's cute enough that I would wear around my partner. Happy with this find!

*Edit this is a Comexim 60L not 60J* I recently bought this second hand Comexim Hot Chocolate Plunge Bra Tagged Size 28J (US?) I Purchased It on a second hand app from. Reseller who listed it as fitting like a UK 28G or 28FF. I wear about a 28FF right now after some weight loss. I like Polish bras, I am Petite and Only 4 ft 8 so I also have more narrow shoulders so I like the more narrow wires. This is a Plunge Style which I have always preferred. I am somewhat close set due to my lower fulness but it's not as extreme now that ... I don't have as much upper/centerfullness with my size. I am currently.more FOB and somewhat projected. I just lost weight so and was FOB but also had a lot of center fullness and some upper fullness before.
This Bra feels like the exact Bra I needed before. The cup size and height is a little too large now that I have lost weight.I think it was a miscommunication/misinterpretation between the reseller and I about the aprox. UK size, But I am still happy I bought this Bra because When my weight fluctuates up again this will be exactly whT I need I think. The wire width is perfect. The cup heights a little higher now but it's okay. I like how this envelopes my breasts. I don't have much cleavage because it's a little too big. the Band is firm and comfortable and the straps are a good distance apart and thick and supportive and fully adjust. It's a pretty and functional Bra, made up of two pieces wirh another piece across the top. The Gore is comfortable and it does not poke my armpits! It is a very pretty chocolate brown with a reddish pink lace covering that made it very apparent that it was one of their hot chocolate plubge bras. this Bra doesnt not fit me perfectly now but it is still very comfortable. It is more comfortable than my other UK 28GGs I have. So. I plan to keep this bra. I think I need a little less projectio rigbt now, but this is the exact Bra I needed 1 yr ago+ and will need again.

Editing Review: Origenally posted sharing that I had recieved this bra from a fellow user but was having trouble uploading any of my pictures on bratabase. Someone from bratabase helped me figure out my issue, so I am adding to this review

I did want to share my excitement aquiring new bras, particularly this Comexim Treasure Padded Plunge Bikini top in size 65HH. I found what I may consider a "bra sibling" here on bratabase (someone who has a similar shape profile, tissue density, and size to myself. *Not exact but certainly close enough that they were able to send me a few awesome pieces*) I am assymetrical ... and one breast is smaller than the other with a different root so its been hard to find OTR options that are comfortable on both sides, but this 65HH/30G Comexim treasure Padded Plunge Bikini was close to perfection and so comfortable that i litterally wore it in place of a bra one day. i stumbled across the listing in my size range, but what grabbed my attention was the underwires pictured. The shape of the underwire was exactly what I pictured myself needing and the other measurments looked right. The user also sent me two other bras at a fair price. (An unlined Ewa and Curvy Kate bra which were also great. Thanks!) It's so comfortable! It's near perfect on both breasts somehow and a better fit than my current best fitting bras. I feel like I can use it to more successfully gauge future bra purchases. This bra offered enough projection for the cup width and enough depth to accomidate my innerfullness while still fitting comfortably elsewhere, the wires were nicely under my IMF, the gore mostly tacked and the band wasn't too firm or tight. The straps are close set and adjust enough? The cups weren't too tall and it didn't leave any gaping near my TOS. I Love this and I am so happy it fits. My Comexim 60M Padded Half Cup is too big after I lost some weight, so I'm glad I have a supportive Swimsuit for the summer. Thank you WildWolff for helping and sending me these. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I was finally able to measure and review this Ewa Michalak bra that I got from WildWolff a few weeks ago. This pink SM Malinowa Mgielka bra is sized 65FF. Despite having more than one prior owner, this bra was well cared for reflected by the very nice condition it came in. The bra is see through pink mesh, with darker pink lace trim and details. There are 4 rows of 2 Hooks in the back, and two little pink bows adorning the straps. I have not yet figured out my sizing in ewa, but the seller helped me out selling me this with ... another perfect fitting swim top. I think the band has stretched throughout its lifespan, because it measures longer laying flat and stretched out than prior measurments, but having more than 3 rows of Hooks helps to tighten it more which I like. When I first put it on I noticed my mid/upper back hurting, either because I had just been wearing an unsupportive VS bra, or because I needed to tighten it at the underbust. Which ever the case, that ache went away and did not return with future wears, which I am greatful for. I find this bra so beautiful, I would have been dissappinted if it wasn't comfortable or supportive enough! Fortunatly, I have been able to wear this bra and really love how it looks on me.

I am very short statured and short in the torso with narrow shoulders. I have an odd shaped rib cage and have postural problems and misalignments. My breast roots are fairly narrow, mostly centerful, somewhat FOB, close set when supported, somewhat soft tissue on top from weight loss and wear about a UK28G 30FF. The gore is low and the cups close set enough to be comfortable. The wires do not extend upwards too much at the gore and underarms and do not feel overly firm/harsh. The wires at the gore softly tack against my sternum. The wires sit perfectly under my IMF on one side, at one side but can slip a hair below on my other smaller side with a higher more narrow root. By the time my cycle came around I had some subtle quadding on the larger side but i was able to adjust things. My assymetry becomes very noticable in unlined/see through bras. But it's not enough to be a huge problem. The straps are close set enough but are almost too long. I did have to adjust them quite a bit. The cup height borders what I can tolerate (depending on the cut and style of the bra) but I am able to fill out the outer upper area enough. I really like this bra and want the black one. (Or maybe a similar black one) I debated getting on in 65F but I am going to look at similar bras and see what matches best. I love the designs of these bras, I don't sew much but it seems like there's both thoughtful aesthetic design and functional details that aid in properly supporting breasts. After ordering a different Ewa bra on a second hand site that was very dissappinting, getting these bras from WildWolff made my week. They also sold me a Comexim Swim Top and sent me bottoms and a Curvy Kate Bra. Out of them all the Comexim treasure Plunge fit best but all 3 fit better than a majority of my bras do. It's hard to find a perfect fit when my weight fluctuates my breasts seem to be the first part of my body to get the memo, but I am still excited to figure out how Ewa bras fit me and what size and styles work for me from this brand. This bra is gorgeous! If it would work for you, I recomend!

I purchased this swimsuit top online when I was keeping an eye out for both Polish brand bras, and a fitting black swimsuit top for a 1 day beach get away. I came across this low priced really nice quality Comexim bikini top and snatched it up. It was. Size 60M but I believe the add shared that fit similar to a UK28GG and I wear around a 28G. I hoped the band would fit and not be too tight, but for the price, it was worth trying out. (It was under $15 with shipping, maybe $12?) It came in a couple days and I am so glad ... I got this. I had to find the add and double check, and compared it to tons of other pictures to make sure and I am almost positive this is a Bora Bora top. I wanted to try Polish brands like Comexim, for their narrow wires and projected sizes in a small band and larger cup size and how well constructed they are. I am somewhat petite/curvypetite, I am short with narrow shoulders, my breasts are projected, functionally FOB and a lot of innerfullness when supported and I have narrow roots. I wear about a 286 after losing weight, and for a part of my monthly cycle off my period, I now have a little softer tissue/skin at the top of my breasts.

This top came quickly in great shape,was kind of simple but elegant. It looked kind of like a 3 part half cup with the vertical seams, and like it had enough padding to keep everything smooth under my top but not so much that it was bulky. The cups seemed like they would fit, though I hoped they wouldnt be too large after losing weight especially having one smaller breast. The band looked like it would fit too, but had a clasp in back rather than multiple sets of hooks to adjust it. I was nervous because I thought a 65 band would fit me better when looking before. The clasp and hardware is gold colored and took me a minute to finagle open and closed, and it actually cramped my hand but once I figured it out it was a peace of cake. I somehow hurt myself getting this on for some reason, which again I think was just a me issue. (I am use to clasping a bra/bikini tops with bands too large, so I am still getting use to wearing tops I cant just clasp and pull over my head.) I got up the courage to try it on again and was so happy with it! The band actually fit, I am glad I didn't have a 65 band, and the cups maybe would have fit a little better one cup size smaller (60L) but it was still perfectly fine. It would have fit me even better if I was a few pounds heavier, but it had enough room for my bottom fullness. If I wore it too long the straps and cups slightly rubbed on my armpit area, but not too bad. I like that it kept me lifted without unnecessary push up and for once I wasnt wearing something way too small in the cups, so I wasnt spilling out. The band was comfortable for my back, actually it is more comfortable than some of my bras! The gore was about as tall and wide as I can tolerate, but it wasnt uncomfortable and wasnt digging into my tissues too bad. I have a lot of innerfullness when supported, and in the past I am use to wearing super plunge push up bras, where the gore and wires are never competing for space. I Think overlapping wires would be better. I have asymmetry, and my larger and smaller breast seem to have different roots so I try to be mindful of the gores and wires working enough for both. It wasnt uncomfortable or significant enough to cause much issue though, I still wear it and will continue to do so. I may keep my eye out for either secondhand Polish bras with reduced cup height, overlapping wires, and maybe reduced gore height/straps moved in. The wires were narrow enough for my larger breast but a little too wide on my smaller higher breast, but it wasnt problematic. I felt confident in this swim top and I am so glad I found something that works and I found something to be confident in for my one day "vacation" for the beach/pool.

Black Swim colorway

I see why this bra is hyped up. I passed over this bra initially. The padded bright teal blue bra with polka dots and a bright orange trim seemed youthful compared to my usual black attire/lingerie choices. I now care about fit more than look and I am happy I considered this bra. I havnt been going for padded bras anymore, but this isnt too thick and doesnt have the bulky push up like my old VS bras do. I like the construction, there are two vertical seams connecting 3 sections. The gore may be about what I tolerate for height due to my inner fullness, but I ... think having closer/overlapping wires would bean improvement. The gore/wires are not cutting into my tissue really or pushing into my sternum painfully. After wearing for an hour or two, I notice half of the wire/gore looks like its lifting up a little on one side and not tacking perfectly, but I think it has to do with my bigger breast. I wish the straps were closer together but they tend to be spaced far apart in balconnets. I can wear this but the straps almost feel like they could slide off my shoulders and feel like they would be more comfortable moved in. The 28 band fits better than the 30 band Cleo Juna bra I just bought (and lost on an overnight trip.] I want to try some Polish Comexim bras, or maybe Ewa bras with the straps moved in. This bra is decent and I think I can wear it today, but it is not perfect for me. I am ok the hunt for a bra that works for me.

I am short and petite, narrow shoulders, projected, I think around a UK28G, I believe my roots are somewhat narrow, and due to asymmetry I think each breast has different roots. I use to be even with more top fullness and a larger cup and band size but I lost weight and now have more soft loose tissue on top that swells at certain times of the month or when I gain weight, otherwise I think I am even but functionally FOB with a lot of inner fullness when supported. My breasts seem to almost point slightly east west unsupported but once I support them they seem very close set. I use to wear VS push up plunges 36DD or 34DDD but I realized what a bad fit that was and I am on the hunt to find what works. It has been hard with fluctuating weight. I could try to augment the wires and straps on this but because the cups feel a little small I don't think I will and may eventually rehome this. Thanks!


EDIT: My shoulders ache, not sure if that is related after wearing a couple hours. This bra came used but is a 28 and doesnt seem too stretched, so I am not sure if the thin widely spaced straps are putting pressure in weird places, my back is already messed up though.

This is a pretty looking and mostly comfortable bra. This Cleo by Panache Della Balconnet reminds me of one of my 34DD Unlined Victoria Secret Balconnet, only this has a smaller band and slightly less wide cups because it is smaller in size. The wires also feel a little less harsh/firm. That bra was black and see through fine "mesh" This bras material feels similar only it's a (Navy?) With a nice floral print. It feels feminine but not too youthfully girly. I liked the Victoria Secret bra, and I do like this though neither fit me perfectly.

The bra cups are a little small on me, especially ... on my larger breast. I wish it were an F or FF cup. I do like the 28 band, it originally measured firm but this feels like it has a good amount of stretch to it, which could be good or bad depending. It really brings my breast forward, but still seems to cause them to be lifted weirdly. Like they are supported but without giving me that cleavage boost look that I like. The wires are not too wide and for once the wires go under my IMF enough on both breasts and do not have a lot of (if any) empty space outside of the cups, which is surprising and probably in part due to sizing down in the cups. They arent too narrow but if they were any more narrow or if my breasts were much fuller they would maybe be too narrow and not enclose all my breast tissue. Most of my bra cups are usually 6 to 8 inches wide, fitting better on the smaller end of that range. The bra straps are almost too far away, probably just because it is a balconnet bra, but they not rubbing in and are fine. I am just glad they arent farther apart. They are thinner than my preference, as is the band because it only has 2 hooks per row. The band being supportive and firm enough makes up for it though. The material is mostly comfortable and not itchy but the cups feel a little tight on my nipples which may be because they are lifted to where a seam exists. I prefer bras that give me a better cleavage boost sometimes unlined bras that are a little small do kind of give me that look but something about this bra doesn't. Maybe it's the gore not being overlapping wires, or the cups somehow being kind of closed at the top for a Balconnet bra. I do like my Cleo bras, the wires seem to be on the more narrow side, which I think I need. 28F or 28FF would have fit better, my padded cleo fits in a size 28FF. My boyfriend thinks this one looks quite small on me, and when I scoop and swoop I can get a lot of boob popping out on my larger side. My breasts are now smaller and less full than they were before. They seem to be functionally FOB and usually have a lot of inner fullness and are close set when supported. They use to be much larger and rounder and more full everywhere. They are softer on top now and a bit more pointy instead of round and my nipples are slightly east west when not supported. I am short and petite so compared to some my shoulders are more narrow and I need more narrow wires. One breast is larger then the other and they have different root origins so it can be hard to get it right. I plan to trade and unload some bras and get some more Polish bras soon. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I am fairly content with my Fantsie Twilight bra. It doesn't quite knock the ball out of the park, but I finally have a bra that fits well enough that I can wear it. This Fantasie Twilight Unlined Bra with Side Support size 30FF in black feels like a bra that can securely hold me as I take on the day yet still look alluring come nightfall. I would stop short of calling it my dream bra but still rate it highly. Its the best bra for my body I have checked out this week. Other recent bra attempt went poor, most caused me more pain and discomfort ... than relief and were more boob prisons than comfortable undergarments I would willingly put on my body. This bra however I keep reaching for. I had been eyeing this particular bra for a couple months. It was one of the first bras I had looked at when I started scanning blogs, reviews, and bratabase entries in search of ABTF. I discovered my cheaply made size Large $4 Shein bras fit small in the cups but still much better and felt more comfortable than all my other bras. Until I wore and washed them they even fit better than my new Victoria Secret bras in size 34DD/36DD that I thought I was married too. It was a mind boggling realization that from middle school on I doubt I had ever worn a properly fitting bra that far off. Hence my search. I have worn this bra on and off this week and I still feel content with the fit and look of this bra.
The bra is constructed of a few thin layers of woven mesh, connected with two vertical seams. On the top of the cups strwt ch ing diagonally from the apex to the gore is another seam attaching a strip of f verybine stretchy mesh, which I appreciate. It makes the the cups a little more forgiving with slight weight fluctuations and the extra top fullness that seems to swell up come certain points during my cycle. The panel is less than an inch thick (0.75inches) and measure 7inches long from gore to the apex where the strap meets the cups at the tops of both cups. One breast is bigger than the other but in this bra it's hard to see that from the top. My smaller tight bra does not entirely fill up the cup and the wire feels slightly wide and it fits my left breast well. The black lace is interesting and there is a little gold colored adornment on the gore, which feels a little more tasteful than slapping a bow on there. The cups are constructed to help bring my breasts forward, even with the 3inch gore my brrasts are not being made to run towards my underarms, I think that is thanks to the side support and construction of the bra. It caused my breasts to look a little cone shaped, but not in an unflattering way. The cups of this bra cover more than my usual plunge styles, it peeked out of some low cut tank top I wore, so it's not a style I would wear with every outfit. I feel like the bra has more give and could handle more outterfullness which I kind of lack, but it fits my left breast. No quad boob. The gore tacks and does not dig into my sternum. The strap placement is good and is not too far apart.The straps are just thick enough, and I am able to wear the 30 band on the tightest hooks. Right now I have it on the middle hooks. If this bra stretches quickly like I have heard about other Fantasie bras, the band may not have enough support soon. This makes sense because I fit and feel a little better in a 28 band. I am glad I tried a 30ff UK or 30H US. I have lost weight after I first tried the calculator and my 28GG bras and 30G Fantasie bra was a little too big in the cups( amoung other fit issues.
I love the look of this nice Lacey bra. It is a different style than I am use too but that's okay. After a few weara I noticed that its not as supportive as I need, but it's still doing the job. I also noticed the underwire slightly dug in near my armpits when I had the band on the tightest fitting hook. This went away with some adjusting. I am able to scoop and swoop my breasts in and not worry about them though, they stay put which I am not use too. I am glad I gave this Fantasie bra a try after the Illusion didnt work out and was surprised the 3inch gore was no issue and the wings weren't too tall. I am not sure if side Support bras are meant for my breast shape/type but this bra does the job. There is less cleavage than I like for most of my outfit choices but that's okay. I hope to buy the matching panties soon, but until then I am sure it will go well with any of the basic black lace pairs I own. This bra is quite nice and makes me feel confident, supports and doesn't cause me pain. It hits all the basic points for what a bra has to do, so I am satisfied. The hunt continues for the perfect fit though.
