I bought this from a user on r/braswap, but I wanted to review it from the perspective of someone who is the correct size for this bra.

This is the most gorgeous bra I have ever owned! It is so pretty I want to style low cut tops and dresses just to show the beautiful pink tulle tattooed to my body. I call it the “Marie Antoinette” bra, lol!

I like the concept of this bra. I am a medium busted person so low cut, coconut cups don’t work for me. I have a Comexim 3HC with reduced cup height and while it is pretty and gives me amazing ... cleavage, it’s not technically a great fit. The Abrielle has an invisible mesh thing at the top of the cup, while the bottom is adorned with a nice embroidery. This gives fuller busted women the opportunity to wear these demi cup looking things while really it’s a complete cup bra. Fabulous!

This bra runs one cup size small, just like the KH website suggests. So I am a 26FF, the 26G fits me well. Luckily band on this one is TTS. The only thing is, I don’t think it’s that narrow and projected. It has very similar, almost identical cup depth to a 55J Comexim plunge bra, but with wider wire. The wires are a little too wide for me (about a finger length), and there is a little wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. Not projected enough for me, but not shallow enough to be problematic. Next bra I buy will definitely be a Comexim plunge in 55J, though nothing beats KH aesthetic-wise.

Other than the projection issue, the gore tacks and there is no gaping. I think I’ve found my ideal cup depth: ~23 cm. The straps are also quite short, so I can wear them on almost their longest setting whereas I normally have to adjust them more. I personally am not bothered by high gores, but I would not recommend KH to someone who is. I’m used to Comexim’s low gores but damn… the gores are SO HIGH. And the Abrielle is supposed to have a lower gore compared to Sophia and Abbie…

If I have the money to buy more KH, I definitely will. Despite Polish bras being a much better fit, the quality and aesthetic of their products spark joy for me! I hope they improve their sizing consistency and customer service in case I order directly. I sorta regret not getting a Vivian during Black Friday but I would have ordered the wrong size anyway. I think 26G is the best KH size for me in general.

Well, this is new! Comexim sent me a bra with a UK size on the label! I ordered size 55J, which according to Comexim is a 26GG. That seems in line with Breakout Bras sizing, which advises to go 2 cups up from your UK size for a technically proper fit. I am a 26FF, so this fits like a 26FF.

I ordered this on Feb 13 2021 during the V-day sale, and it arrived today (March 2, 2021). Has anyone else ordered during this time period and noticed a UK size on the label?

I also notice a difference in the appearance of this bra! It has scalloping ... on the edges like in the pictures, but I’ve seen Erises come without scalloping. They also put the cutest little silver “C” charm on top of the center gore bow! Love it! I expected this to be a homely looking thing, being one of Comexim’s older models. To my surprise, my Eris really looks fresh and luxurious! The pictures do not do her justice!

So, I really should have reduced the cup height. The only alterations I asked for were added cookie pockets and straps moved in. I have no idea whether they not they moved the straps in, but I have reason to think they did. I always thought I had such narrow, sloping shoulders when my shoulders are actually the opposite: level and fairly broad for my frame. Moving the straps in may have caused the gapping near the center gore, because when I move them further out, the gapping largely goes away.

I’ll be honest I don’t like the way this looks on me. Don’t get me wrong, it looks GREAT under shirts, and I think I’ll come to like it because of its functionality. It’s just… ya know… too full coverage. The cups truly are much higher than my 55HH, and they are the absolute highest they can be on me. The cups literally cover ALL of my breast tissue; it’s just skin right above the cup. I do have tall roots but, being a ski slope shape, my tissue gets very shallow up top. Thus, reducing the cup height of a 55J plunge will be a smart choice for me from now on.

And yes, this does have gapping near the center gore. It could be caused by a number of things. 1) my shallow tissue doesn’t fill the cups up there 2) the center gore is way too narrow for my very wide set breasts. Any input would be much appreciated! I think it’s most likely reason 2. I also get gapping in my 55HH unaltered Charme plunge, but quadding as you go toward the straps. It’s a rather strange fit on my Charme, lol! Anyways, I think Comexim plunges just have too narrow a gore for me. The 3HCs and KH gores are the right width for me, and they are far wider.

I also got the matching panties! They’re adorable and so well-fitting. I got them in size S. My hips and butt are fairly small, measuring in proportion to my bust (34”). Actually they’re not so small, I just have hip dips and a butt that loves gravity a bit too much 😂 Strangely, my Charme and Spring panties don’t really fit my butt so well (I get bunching) but these do. Same size. Usually I get a size M in panties even though I’m so petite because I’ll get the coverage I desire. Anyways, I’m super happy about my new underwear! Although the bra is too full-coverage, the undies are the best fitting I’ve had in my whole life!

Overall, I think I’ll keep this one. The gapping at the gore is fairly negligible and the wires are comfy. I do find the band material at the back to be kind of itchy, but I’m hoping I’ll get used to it.

Pics to follow!

So, I'm sort of on a bra adventure today since it's Saturday and I need to decompress from last week's energy crash and spell of anxiety. I guess bra nerdery is my coping mechanism!

I'm reviewing this bra because I was just sent an Understance product sample bra in 28H/28FF. Not the size I asked for, but the size they sent me. Well, even though the cup depth is only 1.5 cm above what fits me, the bra is functionally too big for me! Well, it isn't THAT bad, but I think I'd do better in a 26H, the size they told me they'd send me. Anyways. I am ... amazed at how only 1-2 cm can make such a PROFOUND difference in fit!

Take this bra. Remember my 55J (almost) unaltered Eris? Super full coverage? Cleavage free? Well, this is an unaltered 55HH Charme. Look at those MOUNDS. I wanted to achieve cleavage using Ewa Michalak, but I realized I need to be better with my money now that I've started a new job. So, this can be my cleavage bra for now!

The cup depth difference between 55HH and 55J is less than 2 cm, but the difference in fit is insane! Going from zero cleavage to smooshing my wide set boobs together.

The reason I don't like this bra is because I find it uncomfortable. There's just something about the Charme that makes it so... stiff. It doesn't really help that the band is so tight compared to other Comexims. It used to be unwearable without an extender. A torture device. Now, it is only mildly annoying to wear. For reference, I can stand to put my Eris on the tightest hook even though it is new. I would never even consider putting this Charme past the loosest hook and I've had it since May 2020.

Anyways, bra science is amazing and I now have cleavage. It's nice feeling like a busty girl for a while, lol....

This is a great bra and the deep V gives a really nice cleavage effect. I got this one from a bra fitter a few months ago, and while it’s very pretty, it’s basically lost all its function for me since I’m a 26 band and have to wear 30 bands on the tightest hook - but there is only one row of hooks. It’s sadly a boob hat on me. This would fit a true 30 or snug 32 band very well, and has only been worn a few times.

This is a beautiful bra, but I don’t think this designer knows how big the cups of a 26G really are. It runs very very big! Would love to swap for a 55J Comexim Plunge, 55J/K Comexim 3HC, 55FF/G Ewa, or any other bra that fits like a 26FF, or smaller 26G.
