• I love my Ingrid. Irish Coffee is nice too, it's so soft. Geisha, Poison Ivy, and Sapphire are all on my shortlist. I need that upcoming eyelash lace one in navy too.

  Personally I size up in anything with elastic in the leg so I don't get quadbum. With 38" hips I usually wear an XS or a S in American brands. In Comexim I'm between a S and a M. They're true to the size chart, so definitely measure your hips.

• Get the Comexim Audrey (190) and Comexim Tropical Garden (191) ! I've owned each in several sizes, and they are consistently well made, super comfortable, and a great combo of sexy and cute.

• Index sizes !

• Ok, but to be fair, I dont totally understand index sizes. I thought some companies did smaller jumps between cups, so . . .how would that work?

• Is this something that could be due to slightly asymmetrical muscle development in a body part that affects strap or underwire fit? Like pecs or something?

• I have the same issue with some bras. Panache Andorra I sent back for this reason - the gore was sitting really crooked, practically bending over itself and cutting into 1 boob in the middle.

  For me, this mostly seems to happen on bras with too high and / or too wide centre gores (I'm fairly close-set). Could this be your problem too? Did you gain centre fullness, maybe by working out? I can imagine if your pectoral muscles grow, the boob tissue will be pushed to the centre a bit more.

  Also, do you have a size difference between left and right boob? For me; my left is about half a cup bigger and I feel this doesn't help with gores twisting or bending weirdly.

  Re-measuring yourself might provide some insight?

I got a couple of new colors in a bra I've already added because I love the style so much, is it redundant to add or should I put in new entries for these?

• Yes enter all individually, individual measurements are what builds good averages. No bra is redundant.

• Yes add each bra individually. I had 3 of the same bra and found out one of the bands was 2in longer then the other two.

• Hi! I have experience of the older MH bras. Since then they have fixed their sizing.

  Their cups used to run small (I had to choose 28FF in comfort bras though my usual Panache size was 28F), but since then they have modified the cups so that they are bigger and more "true to size". I think this was maybe in 2014? 2013?

  I have not tried their "new" bras where the sizing issue has been fixed so I really don´t know more about that. About comfort bras though, the cup fabric is stretchy, so sizing probably doesn´t have to be 100% accurate :) Comfort bras don´t give that much lift or support, they are more "natural".

• Thanks for your help! I've been carefully studying the reviews on here, and looking at measurements, and I seem right on the cusp of 34G and GG, even in the newer models. I've read some reviews from fellow projected ladies that their maxi bras run shallow, so I think I will try a 34GG in a maxi, and both 34G and GG in their comfort.

  Btw, I also contacted MH directly and, while they responded quickly, they really weren't much help at all. They told me to buy both sizes in all, and then just return the ones that don't fit (because of course they did). And then said I was referring to their maxi bras, and then sent me available bras in stock that are actually their comfort bras. So much for that advice...

• I would get the 65H and make sure you get the cup reduction. The cups on the basic are super tall, especially if you're looking at a cup that could possibly be too big. You'll probably want the straps moved in too. We're fairly similar in size, and I've fit very well in 60HH with reduced cups, gore, and straps moved in. I have crazy projection though. I'd take a look at the depths and see where you need to be to be comfy.

• The bands run pretty firm in the black basic from what I have heard, so the 65 band is a good idea. All of my Comexim bras with black bands have been pretty firm. I agree about getting the cups reduced and straps moved in as well. A 65H sounds like a good choice.

• What is the bra, out of curiosity? My best friend is getting married in a couple months and is starting to look for under-the-dress wear.

• Ha, i lol'd at this -- I just got a Fantasie Mae in champagne, and was thinking the same thing! It's like a wedding dress in a bra.

  I actually find myself really liking a lot of lingerie that I think is probably intended for brides/wedding night stuff. Lacey white and ivory is so romantic/old school Victorian feeling.

• It's a tracking number. Google search for Polish tracking, & plug the number in. It'll tell you where it is in Poland. Once it says "shipment sent from Poland," it's left Poland. Then you can use USPS. It will say "origin post is preparing shipment" for a couple of days. Then "processed through ISC sort facility" for 2-3 days. Then it'll get to a post office on the east coast, probably NY, Jersey, or NH, then it will head your way.

• So you are saying that its only about a week to get from Poland to the east coast? My EM package left Warsaw yesterday and showed up as "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" some time this afternoon in the USPS. I cant remember how long it took last time - but I'm in VA, last time it was only 2 days from hitting RI to my mailbox!

Another fail?! :(

I just got a package from EM today. I have been in desperate need of a bra win! I have not been having any sort of luck lately. So I put one on and immediately noticed something just felt weird. The right strap was pushing into my body pretty tough. Why would that happen?! Well i looked closer and what ... do i find? The right strap was attached to the cup BACKWARDS! So the adjuster is pushing into me And to adjust it i have to flip it around the right way, adjust, then flip it back around. I dont even know how to handle that. Its a special order size so I had to agree to no returns. But since it was made wrong, will they take it back?

• You should try contacting them since this was their mistake! If they don't accept it back, it should be an easy fix if you sew or you can take it to a seamstress :)

• I just took a closer look and not only is it backwards, its inside out on the adjuster too! :(

• I might be interested depending on the measurements and styles (I don't know Krisline very well).

• I will measure them when I get home. The 60 bands are all tight TTS 28s. The Cristin is waaaay too big in the cups - 28FF or G, the red Valentina fits like a 28F, but I fall out in the middle, despite the cups being big enough - not good for lots of center projection. There is thick padding in all of them, apart from the half padded Charlotte, which has very narrow wires and lots of projection - this one is actually too projected in the center and somehow I don't get a good fit. Possibly the wires are too narrow for me, so it creates a torpedo shape, while there is some empty space in the cups. I get the feeling that all of them are made for firmer breasts than mine.

• I think you actually are average-to-narrow, and quite projected. You'd probably get along well with EM bras, and since her bras have room for "cookies" you can use those for some extra push or oomph if you desire. EM wires (for the most part) are not quite as narrow as Comexim. As for when she gets new styles in, I don't know...

• @lcl0706, those cookies sound interesting indeed!

  Could you explain what makes you think I am quite narrow & projected?

  I am still figuring out my shape, but I was pretty convinced about the wide set boobs and the average projection.

  My boobs start way under my armpit, really more towards my back than towards the front, which is why I'd classify them as wide set.
  I seem to do well in wide and shallow bras (half cups), but I think I'm not really shallow, it's more that some of my other characteristics (the wide and short roots in combination with a little fullness on top) make me do well in shallow bras.

  I notice that the Cleos I own are really on the narrow and projected side for me, I really have to aggressively scoop my boobs in from the side to make them work. Narrower wires would become uncomfortable, as they would then sit on my boob tissue on the side. Which is why I am hesitant about the EM bras, and, based on your comment, I am certainly not venturing into Comexim territory any time soon.

• I don't have any, but as a brafitter i want to tell you that 34E is like THE most common size.

• Oh melifish that is so interesting! From looking at the listings here and on EBay I would never have thought that b/c it seems like there are more of nearly every other size. But maybe that's because people hold on to them :) I would have thought like 36D or something...

• That's awesome! I recently went with my mom who swore up n down she was a DD! I finally got her to try a bra of my choosing and it ended up being a 38G(DDDDD). She loved it. She was shocked she was bigger than a DD. It was a magical moment of mother and daughter bonding over bras. LOL.

• @Happy2BraShop Aw haha I'm glad she ended up loving it! That's cute :)
