• Could you move the attachments in a cm or two?
  

• I would rather not attempt an alteration because that would be disasterous lol. It just seems like they stay slanted a bit like my boobs are weighing the cups down slanting them to be stabby. If I lift the straps up with my hands manually it seems like I wouldn't have the problem but I can't tighten the straps more or my poor shoulders!

• Since VS seems to be the most successful brand out there, there's your answer.

  Given how many poorly fitting bras are bought (and kept), there isn't much incentive to improve the likelihood of proper fit. Whoever does it first will lose market share unless/until it catches on.

  I didn't I was narrow/short/projected till I came here. The most vicious, pit stabbing bra I ever owned was one I bought online because because Oprah recommended it (and I didn't return it). Even the recommendations calculator on this site is pretty much a joke for me. (30DD? Really?)

  (Honestly, this is a fabulous opportunity for a company like Comexim to address their sizing issues and become a leader in education and proper fit.)

• I actually tried to buy an oprah-recommended bra once. Either they didnt have my size (back when I thought I was a G or something) or i ordered it and it didnt fit. it was years and years ago, and I quit trying for at least 4 years after that.

  its true, tho, not many ppl would understand it.

  i did randomly run in to another bratabase user on FB the other day, tho, when someone posted something about aeri or something? using un-photoshopped pics for their lingerie ads, and that was cool - but then I complained about them being no better than VS at making girls w small ribcages and big boobs hate their bodies - and someone popped up and agreed w me and when she mentioned poland lol I knew she had to be from here!

EM total vs Paypal total

Can someone good with math help me please? I know Paypal charges a foreign transaction fee. But there is no way this can be due to that! The amount i was charged by Paypal was significantly more than the total on EMs site! This happened with my last order as well and EM eventually came back and refunded me some ... which i never found out why because, well, money came back that was enough to be happy about!

So my total on EMs site (including delivery) is 373pln. When i paid on Paypal, it said 420.62pln. Thats a 47.62pln difference! Im under the impression the Paypal foreign transaction fee is 2.3 or 2.5% or something. Thats obviously a lot more than 2.5% extra that i paid though! So how and why does the price grow so much compared to EMs site?!

Last time my total on EMs site (including delivery) was 304pln but Paypal had me pay 342.81pln. EM came back a few days later and refunded me 20.57pln.

Im so confused! Help me o.O

• Okay part of the problem, EM charges you 6% to pay with Paypal?! OMG why didnt i know this before?! I never pay this much attention! But still thats not explaining the whole extra charges! :(

• I've never noticed any amounts ever being different between purchase price and payment price. have you tried contacting them and asking them to clarify what the difference is?

Bra haul fail :(

Well i had a big Comexim order finally come in today. Sadly every single one of them was a HORRIBLE fail Okay i may have lied for dramatic effect, one was a winner. But it still had some issues of its own too. So well just keep with the dramatics and say they were basically ... all failures My 65Ms have been squishing me so much lately i really cant even get in there to swoop and scoop anymore. So i stupidly decided to size up for everything but the Pin Up Girl bikini which i kept in my previous size because who doesnt want some extra oomph in a bikini right?! Well that one fits like a dream, except again its tight tight tight! What really bothers me though is the fabric sits so smooth and beautifully on the right cup but wrinkles ALL over on the left cup! It just looks stupid But i was reassured by my lovely bra obsessed friends that no one would be looking at that anyways So i feel a bit better about it now That one is the winner. The other 3 were Brigitte, Butterfly, and Dottie. This is my second horrid experience with Brigitte. She just keeps eluding me! The last one came without alterations. This one came with conflicting tags! Outer paper tag said 60O, inner fabric tag said 65O! Needless to say it was much too big and the band sits so low its seriously at my waist in the back! The other 2 came in 65Ns and they were supposed to have reduced cup, lowered gore, and straps moved in. I honestly cannot imagine that the cups were lowered at all! Butterflys cups come almost all the way up to my shoulders! Its bad bad bad! Dottie is a little shorter but still much too tall. I had to tighten the straps ALL the way down and then there was tons of extra space where the cup meets the strap again Both of these rub my armpits pretty bad as well! The depth was not far off at all. It was about right (except for Brigitte) but the wires were too wide and the cup height just caused all sorts of fit issues for me! Im super bummed and have no idea what the heck even happened here! I feel like since i just recently received my package that they must have all been the last minute 'hurry up and get them done were trying to go on vacation' bras Boo hoo. Okay im done crying! I hope you have all had a better bra day than me!

• Aw man that totally sucks! So sorry you're disappointed, especially since you had such an amazing win with that Lady Gray.

• Lady Gray definitely is a real winner! :D Just too perfect in so many ways! But shes been squishing me a lot lately too! I thought she was telling me it was time to move up in size. No, no, no! I should not have listened to my bras >.< lol

• I have a 32F to give away if you want to try something cheap that might not be too bad at least to start.

• animated : unfortunately, i'm more of a 29 band than a 30, so a 32 band would be too big :( Thanks though!

• Damn you and your tempting with Comexim!!!!! LOL

  Edit: is it reduced or regular????

• It's regular. I just need to sell sell sell right now! I honestly feel like Comexim alllmost works for me so I have purchased them even when I knew I shouldn't have.
  I think I'm a 60H in Comexim with reduced cups, BUT the one I sold you was not what I went for when I had it... so maybe they just aren't for me?

• You always have to email them to ask for tracking, but it will at some point leave on a ship and not show up until its safe and sound somewhere in the US, like NYC or something. Painful. But still, email them. and woot!

• Yeah, the tracking link doesn't work.
  You're not too far from me, and I get my Polish stuff within seven days of them shipping it.

• I'm starting to think I need to go up a band size? everything seems to pinch. Or else I need to go back to the chiropractor. Everything seemed better when I was seeing him regularly lol. and not JUST because he's really cute and recently widowed or whatever you call that for men

  But bra shopping seems to be important any time boobs are causing stress. i mean who needs the stress, right?

• Okay, so I decided I had to change my bra before leaving for work. I am quadding out of the Freya Starlet Vertical Seam Bra (1061) too, so at least it not just the Minnie. Thank goodness I got that extender for the Claudette Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000) because that bra is working and my Andorras deserve a day off. Hopefully no one will notice the neon-ness.

Cleaning house - 30FF & 28G

I've got 4 bras listed and if someone really wants it, you could probably also talk me into listing my swan print 30F Lily. It's just slightly too small, as much as I hate to admit it :-/ I'm making room for Comexims lol. Clutter drives me batty & these have been taking up space for too long! Shipping is included in the U.S. and I'll happily ship worldwide if you pay postage!

• So you mean the seam leaves a red mark? is it painful? Some ppls skin is just more reactive. I always have marks on me when I take off a bra
  

• Yeah the seam is leaving marks... I get the normal wire and band marks but seam marks are totally new to me. I didn't have them the first few days I wore it then they started.

EM CHP sizing

So i know it isnt uncommon for ladies to size down in the CHP cut because of how open it is on top. I am pretty full all over so i think i miiiight be okay with my regular size. But i am getting nervous about picking one! I am extremely indecisive and i cant seem to commit to one ... thought lol. My size is a special order so id just hate to pay the extra money only for it to not fit! So my question is do YOU size down in the CHP cut?!

And while we are at it, what about the BM? Size down in that one too?

• I'm even and I have a consistent good fit in the SM in a 65F. I have 3 CH/Ps a Gazeta 65F, a Kabaretka 65DD, and a Lawenda 65E.
  They all fit, but the 65E is the best fit. The 65F is too open in the top for me and the 65DD is just about a cup small.
  Any other CH/Ps that I order in the future would be 65Es.
  I'm curious about the BMs too. There's one that I like, but it looks like a lot of coverage. I'm not sure I could fill that top lace.

• Oh CHP why must you be such a tough decision?!

  As far as the BM goes, i know they say its made with stretchy lace so that it conforms to you more than the SM! And i think on their site they say when in doubt, size down! I am just a little worried since i had a too small SM that seemed to cause me lots of gore pain which i blame on it being too small. Totally might not have even been due to that lol but i decided it in my mind ;) It is definitely a more full coverage bra too though so sizing down might make it a bit less!

• How cute! I'm a tad allergic, tho - i get very annoyed w cats getting in clean laundry and esp anything that touches my skin. of course, they sometimes sleep in the bed - but mostly on hubby's side

• @dbmamaz Aw, I'm sorry :( That must be irritating. I just hate their fur all over my laundry! Haha and this one loves sleeping in the baskets.
  
  My brother is allergic to my one cat (a tortie), but the little black one is half Siamese, so he does fine with her. Supposedly they're a "hypoallergenic" breed, along with most Orientals? Idk how true that is, but seems to be with her :)

Well, my Comexim got here... *for sale* :(

It's too tall I seriously want to cry....

I ordered an unaltered 60J Poison Ivy based on how much too small the 60HH I tried was. That fit check is here: http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dlukp/

That 60HH was a secondhand Poison Ivy and the seller didn't think it was reduced, but wasn't sure. I'm thinking ... it HAD to have been. There's a HUGE difference in how it fit and this one fits. There's a good inch of empty space at the tops of my new one's cups.

I am so confused by Comexim and the sizing and feel like I've gotten absolutely nowhere. I tried that too small 60HH Poison Ivy, I have a supposedly-reduced 60J Mint Sorbet that is still slightly too tall, a reduced 60HH Coco that is a great fit, a reduced 60K Irish Coffee that is damn near perfect on me, and now this giant 60J. The sizing is all over the place!! This bra is beautiful and I want it so bad and I am SO IMPATIENT and it took over 3 weeks from the time I placed the order to get here and Comexim isn't fulfilling orders again until 7/27 and I'm going to have to return or re-sell this one and order a reduced cup 60J (I'm guessing!!) and UGH. Plus, what the f*ck size do I order for any other bras that may or may not fit like Poison Ivy???

I am so sad Before I return this, does anyone want it? I'd say it would fit a narrow rooted 28GG who has average-to-tall roots quite well. $40 including US shipping. I'll measure and list it shortly. Act now or forever hold your peace!!

• Um I think I'll take it! Can you let me know the measurements?

• You might want to look at EM's website first - they stopped making anything smaller than a 65, I think, except custom order - which some ppl have had bad experience with. Plus, a 28 would be a 60 anyways. They dont do a straight conversion.

  Half cups shouldnt come up as far as balconettes, and plunges have lower gores than balconettes. I think.

• 3D is the plunge style designed for smaller breasts. It will only go up to an F cup and the bands run quite tight. If you're on the larger side of the range or are not petite you might not enjoy it.

  PL is the classic Ewa Michalak padded plunge that's available in every size. Although again the 55 band would be custom. It's sort of similar to the Comexim plunge, but the padding is a bit thicker and the shape is a bit more rounded. I've heard the wires a bit wider too.

  I don't know anything about the MP at all. Hope that helped at least a little bit!

• Nice, which Comexims are you eyeing right now?

• Girl I would totally help you out if I knew anyone in your size range. I do, but haven't been able to successfully convert her to the church of bravangelism quite yet. I'm practically similarly begging for anyone to buy the 2 remaining 28G bras I have listed - Instinct & Liliana - so I can get more Comexims.

• Hahaha so you ordered some cookies but they sent you a couple pound cakes? That's so ridiculous. I'm sure there is a market for women wanting a major size boost so why misrepresent the product?

• "... amusing as this was (especially given aerie's relentless "real girl" advertising..."
  @mercury, good one!

  "...so you ordered some cookies but they sent you a couple pound cakes..."
  @wendybien, this is going to be a classic!

• Yep, first things first, forget about Lord & Taylor and Macy's. I'm not even a super crazy size and there are maybe 3 underwire bras available at Macy's that would actually work for me. Do a fit request here and people can offer suggestions on what to try and where to find it.

• yeah, if you want help you kinda need to show us how it fits, and your measurements as this site requests, and the measurements of the bras. and to start with - you should find the band size that fits you and stick with it. and then you find cup size and brand/shape that works
