The first thing that you notice about this bra is obviously the colour. I was looking for a neon yellow bra, and this is it! It's a great colour.
The straps are comfortable, though still too far apart for me (as with all my bras). The centre gore is good. I like all the little details, like the fun writing on the inside of the cups and the hearts and the little bow. It's the closest I've come to liking a completely non-padded bra.
Unfortunately, the cups are a bit big on me. The wires seem really wide and tall, kind of poking me in the middle of my armpits. The seams of the cup and the embroidery show from underneath all of the neon yellow shirts I own, and it's to wear with these that I bought this bra.
So I think my search for the perfect neon yellow bra will continue.

This fits just like my other (beige) 65K Basic, which is as desired. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The band may feel a tiny bit tighter, but that might just be because my other one has been worn quite a bit in the time I've had it, so it's broken in. I remember that band felt tight at first too, so I expect this one will break in just as nicely.

I haven't actually tried wearing this bralette out and about yet. When I try it on at home, it seems okay. The fabric is very soft, which makes it feel pretty comfortable. The shape just doesn't seem right for me, though. Maybe it's because it's an unwired bralette and I'm haven't unrealistic expectations/hopes, but I'm just not sure. I feel like it presses me flat and wide. There's a lot of extra fabric on the sides. The straps sit okay when I first put it on, but as I move about they try to slide off my shoulders and that makes the top of the cups very loose. ... If the straps do slide off, the whole thing comes down. It almost seems like the cups are too small, given the way my boobs try to quad out of it, but I think it's just a shape mismatch.
Because of the flat and wide issue, I don't really like the appearance it gives me and thus haven't worn it out yet. I think next time I'm taking a long road trip, I'm going to try wearing it. I always hate how underwires seem to dig in more and more during those trips. When I do wear it out, I'll try to report back.

I'm not 100% sure about this bra. I was very excited to get it; my first purchase of a used bra, my first bra from Bratabase, my first red bra, my second Comexim. As soon as it arrived I excitedly pulled it out of its package and set to taking pictures of it.
It looks good on. It measures great. I think it's very pretty. The fabric is super soft. I don't think I've ever had a bra with such soft fabric.
But I'm not sure the fit is perfect? Maybe it's because the band has stretched out. I first put it on the 2nd out of the four ... columns of hooks, because I immediately felt that the last would be too loose. But I didn't actually feel supported - when I walked, my boobs were still jiggly. So I washed it (and was surprised to see a bit of red colour run; the colours don't look any different after, so I won't worry about it) and put it on again on the tightest hooks. This was a bit better. I wonder what that means for the longevity of this bra, or other Comexims. I haven't worn it for longer than a few minutes at a time, yet.
Also one of the underwires squeaks a bit when I move. Not too worried about that, but it's a bit odd.

To summarize, I'm happy with this bra's appearance and initial comfort, I'm happy to have bought it, I think I'm happy with the fit, but I worry that the longevity will be mediocre. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

ETA [07/18/15]: So I've now worn this bra several times. It's very comfy, and again, I love how soft the fabric is. The stretchy band makes it less supportive (running or jumping in this bra is definitely noticeable), but it's still quite wearable.

This bra seems okay. I haven't tried it for exercise yet. It's too wide, as all sports bras are for me, so it cuts into my armpits uncomfortably. It does seem better than my 30H - Panache » Sports Bra (5021) in that respect, though. I think if I went up a cup size it would be too big, but the gore doesn't seem to want to sit flat, either. It's not overly comfortable or overly uncomfortable.
I'll try to report back once I've actually tried it for exercise.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of this bra on me. The cups are kind of huge, which surprised me. They also come too high, so the fabric itself cuts into my armpits a bit, along with the wire poking a bit there, and the cups just seems like they occupy a lot of space on my torso. It doesn't look very nice on my. The wire is digging in a bit into my ribs right under my breasts, and I'm not quite sure why. The straps have this decorative whatever on part of them, which stops the strap from adjusting any shorter. If I were keeping it, I'd probably cut it off. The centre gore is fine in terms of comfort, but for aesthetics I think it comes up higher than I'd like.
The material the cups are made out of is interesting, and I imagine it would be comfortable if it was otherwise constructed for me.
The colour of the nude isn't actually too far different from my skin colouring, which is interesting.

I got this bra ages ago, and either never wore it or wore it once. I'd intended to return it, but I forgot. It didn't fit well when this was supposed to be my size, and it definitely doesn't fit now. The centre gore sits on my breast tissue, creating a big gap between it and my chest. The cups fit funny, kind of quad-boobing and just not sitting quite right. I noticed when I was stretching the band to measure it, the cups tried to stretch before the band did, which worries me.

I couldn't find this exact bra on Bratabase, so I guess at the name and wrote in the number. As far as I can tell, it's very similar to this current bra (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_150010564260_-1) on the Debenham's website, but slightly different lace trim.

This doesn't really fit. The cups are too small and cause quad boob and definite floating gore, and I adjust the band as tight as it can go and it's still looser than I'd really like. But, it's really pretty and it fits just as well as any swim suit I've tried, so I decided to keep it and have worn it swimming a couple times. It does fine while I'm swimming. Not great, not bad. I'd ideally like a better swim top, but for now it's okay since I swim very infrequently.

When I first bought it, it fit okay. A little small in the cups, but I figured that was okay because it was a sports bra. I did find that my breast wanted to escape to the sides, though the bra tried to push them together and flat. It looks really ugly underneath a shirt, showing all it's lines and seems, while creating a weird shape to your bust. As a sports bra it seemed to function okay.
My favourite part was the way the straps in the back are designed. Having the two sets of hook-and-eye closures in the back makes it hard to put on, but was really comfortable once on. It ensured that the straps never slipped off, and was overall pretty comfortable.
Now that the cups are definitely too small, though, it is very very uncomfortable.

I find this bra very comfortable. It looks great under clothing, which is the first thing I was worried about when I first saw it. It looks good and feels good, and provides good support.
