This was my first Comexim bra and I purchased it when I was about a 32J (now 30HH). The band was too big, but it was still wearable on the tightest hooks. The cups were a little on the large size too, so I only wore it a few times when my breast size fluctuated and I wanted to wear a loose band for comfort, and even then the cups gapped. It was only really wearable at those times because my breasts are quite full on top. Really though, this size would best suit a 34J.

The wires on the side are quite low so pinching was ... never a problem and they never dug in. The wires are also quite narrow (as tends to be the case for Polish bras), which I love because I have quite a narrow root. The narrow gore is great for close set breasts. And the shape Comexim bras give is very uplifted, round, but not too orb-like. The Free Time pattern is pretty cool as well. I love that Comexim does so many prints. The material is super comfortable as well... the lining of the cups are so soft, in the right size, these bras are a dream to wear.

The cons to Comexim bras, I find, is that the cup height often comes up a little tall.. This can be amended by emailing them when ordering and asking for a reduced cup height (they don't charge for this).

I wore this when I had a 32-33" underbust, and wore a 32Hish in bras and it was great.
I have narrow and short roots, am FOT, close-set and the Panache Sport is a wonderful fit (it was great beforehand when I had a 34GG, and now it's great in 30G).
It gives a really nice rounded shape rather than the often pointy shape that sports bras can give, as the cups are lightly padded. The underwires are coated in silicone so they don't dig in even when the band is firm. The straps are padded in the right way so they don't look frumpy but they don't dig in your shoulders.

It's very comfortable and holds everything in place perfectly, it feels very secure. It also looks pretty enough that I would wear it as a sports top out in public if it was warm enough. The purple colourway is my favourite and I think the nicest looking, but since it is discontinued, I now have the black in the 30G.

Gorgeous colour and lace detailing. Gives a fantastic rounded shape and cleavage, and the inside of the cups is so soft. The band is on the firmer side of a 34, but I think it just runs true to size. I bought this when I was trying to figure out my size and I am now a 32HH/J, so this 34G is completely wrong for me. Even in the right size, it would be too wide and shallow.

I bought this 65L Aurora in the Claret colour, as earlier this year I bought a 65J Aurora A122 and it was too small in the cup. The A122 now fits and the A922 is 2 cup sizes too big for me. It is a bit deeper than the A122 and has more immediate projection, which is great, so I may try a 65J some time.
The A922 is also a bit more coverage, but not a full cup kind of style. It definitely suits a more full on top shape. Wires are very nice and narrow and the quality is fantastic.

Absolutely gorgeous bra. I love the lace on this. Unfortunately, when I bought this, the band was a bit tight. It fits now as I've lost weight, but now it's way too big in the cup and I'm about a UK 30G. I'd keep this bra if I thought I might fit it one day since it's so pretty.
I'm a big fan of the Avocado A cuts as well, I wish they hadn't discontinued the cut. It gives a beautiful naturally rounded shape, lots of support as well.

Purchased from previous owner that wore it a few times.

I think this bra is either an old cut, or they sent the wrong size to the previous owner. I have three Comexim bras in size 70N and the cups fit perfectly fine. On this Juliette 70M, the cups are at least 2 cup sizes too small, not one. The cups are not nearly as high as well, but even if the previous owner had custom ordered them that way, my boobs spill out the sides before I even scoop and swoop. The hook and eyes are on opposite sides too, which was confusing.

The bra is very well made, and I absolutely adore the colour way and print. If it really was a only one cup size smaller than my 70Ns, it would still be wearable and I would keep it... I just think it is not a true 70M.

A sheer cup in this size range - almost unheard of. And in red. And gives an amazing shape. This thing is BEAUTIFUL. I love Avocado bras... so much.

I am now around a 65K/70J in Avocado but when I first bought it, I was about a UK 32J and it felt firm in the band but nicely firm. The shape was amazing. I was super impressed. It kept my boobs close together, and I felt so supported yet I didn't feel like my boobs were pushed up to my chin. Avocado bras are like magic. They are more expensive than all the other brands I've tried, but the quality is the fantastic and I think the designs are top notch. I'd be happy to only ever wear Avocado bras for the rest of my life.

These measurements are for the yellow bra (as I also have a purple 30J but I found the measurements are slightly different). I have 5 Marcies now in various sizes. It's a tried and true style for projected FOT breasts. Nowadays, I prefer Polish bras, but the Marcie is still pretty great.
Marcie is very projected and quite open on top, and is one of the few UK styles I've tried that actually allows for centre fullness, rather than only upper fullness. I almost find it too projected, as I like a natural more anchored cut. I bought the 30J a while ago and never wore it, as I ended up dropping down to about a 30H/HH so this cup is way too big for me now.
This style is great if you have close set breasts but don't want to go for a plunge, because even though the centre gore seems high, it tacks really well sits flush against the sternum and is pretty narrow. The wires are pretty average width, though I need narrower.

Beautiful, as always - Avocado never disappoints. The 70J fits like a dream, which I thought it would as I am a 70J in their Calypso A cut. So I am very happy with the RV cut, as a fan of the A and K cuts. RV is the perfect blend of the two styles.
One thing I will say is that it is not grey like the pictures on the site. I was hoping for a silvery grey, but I'm still happy with the real colour. In real life it is more of a light taupe, and would be great as a skin-toned alternative to the beige options that are around for fair women.
The gore is also pretty damn high on this. Definitely higher than the A and K cuts I have in the same size. This could be a dealbreaker for some. It's not too bad on me, but it limits what tops I can wear the bra with.

The greatest fitting bra I've ever worn. I read that Ellie ran a tad smaller in the cup, but had a stretchier band. My underbust is 33" so I went for the 32 band and I'm so glad I did. I wear it on the loosest hook but some days can wear it on the middle hook comfortably firm. The band never rides up now as it does on my 34" backs. The cut of this bra is beautiful, a very rounded shape, and I love the print. The only hang up I have (and I think this is just the brand in general) is that the cups sit quite wide, seemingly wider than a Freya 34G I own... not to the point that it's uncomfortable, but there is no way I could go a higher band size which I may need for less stretchy materials in this brand.
