My Comexims have shipped! I wasn't expecting them to ship until next week, so I'm super happy!
Hopefully everything fits properly. If not, I guess at least I'll have a few to get a feel of what I might need.
But yay!!

I need someone w heavy, soft boobs to review them for me so I know if they are still in-cup-quadding lol
So I bought the Betsey Johnson Stocking Stripe last month and have worn it once. I love the look, but it just does not fit me. I really want to sell or exchange it … but I noticed that a couple of tiny hairs have gotten under the mesh "stocking" material on the cups. (I have two short haired cats ... so I'm guessing it's that since their hair is everywhere lol). It's not noticeable until you look closely. I tried getting them out and washing it … but they are still there… do you think it's possible to exchange and/or sell on Bratabase? I would definitely put this info in the description (and list the bra for $20 or under).

As long as you point out the "problem" I don't see why you couldn't list it.
Ok, thanks! I'll probably list it today :)

So, most of us know that the bras are great, but lets talk about something she does better...panties!
Oh my Glob, you guys! I love her underwear so much. Briefs, thongs, I don't care. They're comfortable, soft, and sexy. I'm totally on board with the all the girly ruffles and obnoxiously huge bows on the bum.
I actually get a bit ... bent out of shape that I have a couple bras that are missing their lower mates, which actually sounds a bit pathetic now that it's been said "out loud" :/
Are there any better panties out there? Tell me, I wanna know!

Totally agree! I love her briefs, as they're a great hybrid of brief, hipster, and boyshort. The ones I have of hers are definitely the most comfortable undies I have.
Other than EM, my fav are Aerie's boybriefs and Bali's Comfort Revolution seamless panties: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0068DF8SM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00
They make those in hipsters, too, and both are fab and super comfy.
I've been dying to try her panties! But I haven't a clue what size to get. (I usually wear a size small). So far my go-to panties are the Dream Angels undies from Victoria's Secret. I love the lace and satiny fabric. Very comfy and contain my cheeks, unlike a lot of their other panties. Would you say their panty sizes are consistent? I know their bras can differ in band length.

I just got two bras at Nordstrom's clear the rack sale for like $28! A too small but pretty decent fitting strapless and the sister size to my absolute favorite bra ever: Panache Andorra! The bra gods have blessed me today!

O.M.G,!!!!! I'm going tomorrow to get bra fitted!!!! Is it at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack???

You know, the ones that don't fit and maybe never will, but you're much too stubborn and/or attached to them to ever pass them on. Maybe it's a discontinued model or colourway, or an old, dearly loved bra that used to fit but doesn't anymore, maybe you hunted it for ages and when you finally got it, it didn't fit, maybe it's just too pretty... How many of them have you got hiding at the back of the bra wardrobe?

It was really hard for me to sell my Masquerade Celene. Ugh, the bra that broke my heart. It was so beautiful. And so not a good fit :(
3. They're my old 38H (US) Cacique bras. But one of them is dark emerald green with black lace overlay that I use for sexy times. There really should be more dark green bras.

...or choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea...
which means choosing between underwire pain or neck / back pain
I recently had a few episodes of neck pain. I don't usually get a lot of neck pain anymore since I wear properly fitted bras and tight bands.
So the bra had to be the problem. The ... band on my 36K - Bravissimo » Darling Heart Bra (LN132) had stretched out so it did not support well even on tightest setting. (I knew I had to alter sooner or later as I need 34 bands )
Now that I have taken the band in, the bra that has been rather comfortable before now hurts me terrible under my boobs... the wires dig in painfully. I can barely stand to wear it a full day. I do not get much neck pain anymore as the band does it's proper work again... but do I have to choose between two kinds of pain with my bras?
Why no more research is done on very big bras?

The wire digging in under the boobs problem is something I get in pretty much every bra, even the ones that fit well! I've often wondered if it was me or the way the bras are made.
As for the lack of J+ availability - I've only just hit 30J myself, but I'm already wary of getting any bigger since I've heard second hand about how difficult it is to get a really good - not just 'eh, it's okay' fit past J. I feel like there isn't really anyone outside of Poland that's nailed a good, solid construction that works past/around J. I give Freya in particular the side eye for this, since they just scale up their D-G plunge balcony cut to K and assume it'll work. And this then creates a vicious cycle, where customers who need those sizes won't buy a poor design at full retail when they know it's unlikely to work, and the brand sees that those sizes aren't selling well so they don't bother to invest in improving them.
sorry . . . are you considering trying the EM FB if it ever comes out?

Wow it is apparently a custom made UK 70P / EU 70Z!
That is a seriously big bra.

I wonder how they reached Z cup.
Ewa Michalak does make P cups :23 but that 70 must definitely be a custom order since their recent cup expansion was for bigger bands.
http://www.bratabase.com/browse/ewa-michalak/size-range/
That girl must speak polish as well.
Answered my question. They are assuming a single letter **Polish** alphabet for EU:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_orthography#Polish_alphabet
If you count only the Latin looking letters, then Z would be the 23rd letter. Look no Q or V.

yeah, it's official, comexim is too shallow for me.
i would never guessed in a million years, just it's just barely too shallow, but enough to say nope to them.
i tried them in a 32D ad 32DD, if i were to size up one more time the cups would be cutting into my armpits.
oh wells...

I have 3 38G bras listed for sale. Great prices on hard to find styles.
Filed under Bras ups and downs
2 weeks with the Marcie and it is pretty damn good. I bent the center out a bit, which actually allows me to get the bra all the way up into my IMF! Amazing! I just generally can't get bras to sit in there at all--they scooch down or let boob escape out the bottom. I wonder if my sternum ... is weirdly 'outie', or it's just pretty narrow in there, so it rejects all wires.
It could be a cm narrower in the wires, at least, and there's a little wonkiness in the top. I think I am less full on top than before, so there's a little wrinkling at the top. I am a bit conical, so sometimes that throws off the fit of a bra as well. Still, plenty of comfy space in the bottom and center, which is so nice.
I would like to find some slightly narrower, but similarly projected bras, but have had no luck with Freya half cups (huge bands, wide wires, possibly too shallow/not well fitting bottom of cups, far too much space btw the cup). Maybe Comexim? Ewas seem reeeaaally narrow.
Also, for the Marcie wearers, if I have a 28f pink Marcie, should I be ordering a 28e in other colors? Is it a full cup smaller than the others? This is the best fit I've found and I don't want just one bra, even if this is not completely perfect.

Please also put this on your review of the bra, that way other people will find it when they're looking for reviews. Also any comment will be useful for other people.
You can write reviews from the homepage, just pick your bra on the category field and it will be saved as a review on your bra.

I've noticed when I put longlines on, they seem lower on my back than a regular bra. The bands are all super snug on me. Is this normal? Anyone have any techniques to put longlines on that gets then up higher?
Filed under Bras ups and downs
That's an interesting question. From my understanding, longlines should sit with the wires under your IFM fold like any other bra.
If you feel the wires are sitting too low, maybe you can submit a fit request and have some of the experts here help you figure out what is causing this.
Perhaps the cups are too shallow or the band might be too snug--both of these can cause bras to slide down. You could try it with an extender and if the gore no longer sits flush or the back is beginning to ride up, it's an indication that the cup is too small.

I kinda hate those, tho, because . . . it shouldnt be like that. this is where we get rid of all those problems, by finding what fits and ordering them on line
We could make our own list!
Mine would be:
-Trying to find the exact shape and lift without being able to buy bras locally.
-Weight fluctuating once I find *the perfect bra* which doesn't work in a new size.
-Having to find shirts that cover my whole bra instead of having it peakaboo everywhere.
-Having to hand-wash the bras..
-Shutting up when someone else talks about their bra problems that are only because of wrong sizing. (but you don't know them well enough to mention that you could help)
-Paying crazy prices for shipping/return shipping.
-Finding a discontinued bra that you love, or finding a discontinued bra that would work if you found it in a slightly different size.
-Being tempted to do bra surgery to make a cute or close to fitting bra work better for you.
I'm sure there is more! lol

I like Eucalan (the grapefruit scent is incredible!), but unfortunately no one in my area sells it anymore. I now buy Forever New, which works great, but I really don't like the scent. Honestly, I rotate between Gain laundry detergent and Forever New just so I don't always have to smell it. ;) One day I'll get around to ordering Eucalan online.
Edit: I usually spray a little Shout stain remover if there's any deodorant residue as well.
I actually like the Nordstrom brand lavender scented lingerie wash for when I want a deep clean. But for the most part I use Woolite delicate fabric wash.

I just got the Parfait Charlotte Padded Bra in a 34E and I LOVE it! I really want to try some other Affinitas/Parfait Bras now - are there any that fit similarly to the Charlotte Padded? I have pretty close set boobs and like a lot of projection (I do not have shallow breasts … which btw, what is the opposite of shallow boobs called?) Thanks!!
Filed under Bras ups and downs

Projected is the opposite of shallow. Not sure about Charlotte clones but you can check its measurements and then do a search by measurements for other Parfait bras with the same data, in theory they should have a fairly similar fit.
Ok, awesome! Great tip. I'm going to try searching now :) … And thanks about the shallow/projected description!

I just picked up a Curvy Kate Tempt Me (SG4001) in 30D, and, well... it fits, but like every other t-shirt bra and plunge that I own, it cuts into my tall roots a bit. The thing is, the lining (padding?) is thick enough that it looks a bit more obvious, whereas my other bras are thin ... enough that only experienced bra fitters would be able to tell that the cups cut in.
So now I'm torn. It fits pretty well aside from that. You can't see it under a shirt (but you can see the seam, which is slightly lumpy due to imperfect sewing), and it gives me a good shape under clothes. Should I return it (uggghhh shipping from US to UK), put it up for sale and hope someone out there wants one, or just keep it? It's pretty cute, and I do like the looks of it.
And I just realized that I'm shallow enough that I didn't need to size up in this bra, which I've read just about everyone recommends. *sigh*
I think I just talked myself into keeping it.

I just opened an account for a blog called boobsfornoobs. I feel more attracted to "newbs" but this seemed..better.
xD
I've wanted to start a blog for a while (besides a fan girl blog that I already own), so hopefully I can get my laptop working soon.
Yay blog!
I'm also going a little insane with anticipation for my Comexim bras. I'm pretty sure ... they should be here by the 8th of July, if everything works out xD
At least that's what I've estimated by the amount of gime others have said it's taken to recieve theirs.
In the meantime, I will have an Ewa on the way, which should get here sooner I think. Keeping my fingers crossed for that one too!

What did you order from Ewa and Comexim?
Congrats on the blog! :)
@jlcl119 Thank you :D I ordered both Joys and the Basic from Comexim, and EM Lawenda from bracrastination.
Sizing is all over the place, I heard the Joys ran small and Lawenda runs large, so I'm hoping everything works out :D

Are any other Curvy Kate bras made like the Fleurty? That was my first dd+ bra, and I wore it until it practically disintegrated.
Filed under Bras ups and downs
http://www.bratabase.com/browse/curvy-kate/fleurty-sg1301/related/
The Curvy Kate Entice (SG1601). Both old models from the Show girl line. They had a shallow cut that didn't work out with lots of people. I think they re launched the Tease me in 2014 with different fit, it had an original similar cut than Curvy Kate Fleurty (SG1301) but then they diverged in secret ways.
Ahh, jealous! I placed my order on the 7th and it hasn't shipped yet. x.x
I hope they work really well for you! Good luck! :D
@Evadne Thank you! I hope so too :D
Hopefully yours get shipped out soon!
I would imagine they should, I think I made my order around the same time :)
