I know Lucy is for FOB breasts and I am FOT (and close set), but I really love the broderie anglaise on the Lucy and the purple colourway, so I bought it anyway, knowing it wouldn't fit right with the intention of altering the gore. I did alter the gore to make it as narrow as possible and it worked in making the bra better for my close set breasts.

I am currently a 30HH and this is wearable if I wear it on the tightest hook. It is a bit big in the cup as well, but it's not too bad. The extra fabric wouldn't show under most tops.

Beautiful colours (blue and teal), lovely shape and support. Unfortunately, was a bit small in the band for me so I didn't get a good wear out of it. Would be ideal if it was 30FF or even 32F.

I bought this one in yellow. In person, the fabric is a bit stiffer than the non-padded underwired bras that I'm used to, but it is still quite nice and the stiffer fabric helps retain a nice shape as the fabric is semi-sheer. I'd read that this bra runs small in the band and cup and I usually wear a 32H, so I bought a 34GG and 34H from Bravissimo. I tried on the 34H on first and I'm glad I went for the 34 band. The fabric is so stiff that a 32 would have been quite uncomfortable, even though it would have fit. My breasts are very full on top, so sometimes I have issues with this kind of style. This bra fits my right breast quite well, but cuts in slightly on my larger left breast. It does give a good shape, though slightly splayed. The underwires do come up high under the arm, though, and I'm 5'5"! I think anyone with a very short torso will have issues with the underwires.

For my close-set, FOT, narrow-set boobs... this bra was a terrible fit.

I quadboobed in this one, even with the nice stretch lace at the top of the cup. The wires were also too wide so I had some empty space on the sides. It is also too separate for me with not enough room next to the gore, so it pushed my boobs away from each other, when they sit naturally very close.

The bra still gives a nice, rounded shape. It's also a bit of a hybrid, since it is a bit of a plunge balconnette. It really holds you in as well. If it were more suited to my shape, this is the kind of bra I would wear to work.

It is very well made and I really like the fit of the band. I am really hoping that Tutti Rouge brings out some more shapes in the future that would be more compatible with those with more projection and narrow roots.

Hands down one of the most beautiful bras I've ever seen. I bought this a while ago when I was wearing 32H, hoping a 34G would be generous enough to still work. I've finally accepted that it will never fit right.

The cups are incredibly soft. The interior of the cups are lined with this charcoal grey mesh and are so comfortable even in the wrong size. The cups give a rounded shape under clothes but doesn't give in-your-face cleavage.

This bra is fairly shallow, and not compatible with my shape. But even if I had it in my current size, 32HH/J, I would still wear it. It is fairly girly with the tea rose print, and candy pink trim, but in a visually stunning way rather than young-girly. If I had it in my size, I would probably do a photo shoot with it.

The Juna: One of the most comfortable bras I have ever tried on.
I really love it. The materials are so soft, the straps are perfect, the gore tacks and even though it is a great everyday bra, it isn't ugly. Incredibly comfortable.

Sadly, though, I am a 30HH now and the 34H is way too big for me.

Purchased in April 2014 along with the same size in Mint Sorbet and Luna.
The Geisha is probably the prettiest of the 3 and my favourite... yet I never got to wear it. I was around a 32J at the time and the Mint Sorbet and Luna fit really well, but the Geisha was quite tight in the band so I didn't reach for it. I had planned on getting an extender while it loosened up.

It is a beautiful bra and I would love it if it were the right size. I've reviewed the other Comexims but I will describe the cut here as ... well. This cut is great for full on top breasts, especially for those needing a narrow gore and narrow wires. The shape is very round and uplifted, no droopy boobs here. The band seems to be angled downwards a little (as opposed to riding up) - I think this gives the bra even more support and is a great feature.

Having said all that, I am now a 30 band, and while the Geisha band is fine, the cups are just way too big so it is unwearable.

Utterly gorgeous bra. Firm band, so you feel quite secure. The cups aren't too demi so even though I can wear this with a low neckline, I don't feel too on show. There is more room for centre fullness in this than the Rhea, I find, so even though it's a balconette, it doesn't push my boobs outwards.
The only thing I would change is the straps... they are padded and are super comfortable, but they widen too much and change the aesthetic of the bra.

Really lovely bra. I love the colourway and styling, very burlesque/boudoir, but it is still comfortable to wear during the day. Having said that, the lace/ribbon does show through thin materials.
Everything about this bra is not only pretty, but comfortable. The band is stretchy perhaps a little too stretchy... it can feel like it's not being supportive, but it is. However, where possible, I would size down in the band for the extra support.
The cups are a little too open for me so my breasts don't feel super secure, but it is a padded demi balconette, so that's to be expected. It does separate my breasts a bit too much for my liking, but the gore does tack. The wires are probably a little too wide as well.
For softly padded bras, I think I prefer the Comexim style as it is a bit more of a plunge.

BLACK 32H - Lovely fit, very rounded shape thanks to the vertical seam. I only tried it on quickly as I have the Cleo Ellie which is the same cut/fit and I needed a plain black one. I will probably end up buying one in the beige colour as well.
