Review of Four New Comexim Half Cups

So I just got my four Comexim half cups that I ordered mid-December and shipped as of 12/29/16 (13 day delivery to NJ, USA). I found ordering and delivery straightforward as with a previous order - I did the single special request of ordering a plunge style as I ordered Georgia (70F, on website as 3HC), Honey Cookie (70F,on website as plunge, special ordered as 3HC), Beauty (70F, on website as 3HC), and Elena (70G, on website as two-part half cup). Of these four, I'll be keeping two and have listed the two others. I've reviewed each one individually but thought I'd post a quick comparison review of these and other Comexims I already owned.

First, some background. My holy grail bra, and point of comparison for these new reviews, is the Comexim Sonia in the 3HC cut in 70F. The band is a little stretchy, but that's the only downside. I have been living in fear that it will not last as it's pretty much been my everyday bra since I received it (see my listings for the 6 other bras I tried and discarded as everyday bras. Blagh!).I find this cut and size a perfect fit for my narrow-rooted, full-on-bottom, wide-set, squishy, splayed breasts and petite frame. The wires STAY in my IMF and aren't too wide. The straps aren't digging into my armpits or falling off my shoulders. Oh yeah - and it's GORGEOUS. For reference I also own a two-part half-cup Elena in beige, 70F, which is either too closed on top or too shallow and gives me a little quadding, especially in my larger breast. And I have a Burgundy (3HC) ordered from Breakout Bras and tagged 32 E, which is too small in the cup causing spillage/quadding.

Now, for the new styles....

(1) I was expecting Honey Cookie, a plunge special-ordered as a 3HC, to fit similarly to the Sonia ordered the same way in the same band and cup size; however, this was not the case, as I found Honey Cookie more open, wider, and less immediately projected compared to the Sonia. Additionally, the contrast between the lace overlay and the blush base fabric was a little too muted for me. Super duper gorgeous just a little bridal, maybe, for me?

(2) The fit issues in the two-part half-cup Elena were not remedied by sizing up in the cup to a 70G from the 70F - oddly, the cups felt huge. Any thoughts on whether a 65G or 65H might be a better fit in this style for me? I'm willing to accept that it's a lost cause due to shape mismatch, but am still in search of a basic nude or black bra like these styles. May consider special ordering the Basic as a 3HC too.

Now for the good.

(3) The Beauty in 70F was a perfect fit, seriously a bang-on match as far as fit goes for the Sonia 3HC in the same band and cup size. Victory! The eyelash lace on the band is such a pretty detail and it's nice to have a lacy black bra that actually fits...it puts my mind at ease about parting with my beloved (but ill-fitting) B.tempt'd Ciao Bella. I had considered getting Victoria (navy lace/pale beige base), but the style is so similar I may just stick with Beauty for now.

(4) The Georgia (new gray/lavender style) is probably the most comfortable well-fitting bra I've put on my body. Instead of a lace overlay, it's a super high quality microfiber-type print fabric - rivalling Victoria's Secret level comfort, which is no small feat. I hope we see more styles in this fabric in other colors or prints from Comexim!!! It's a teense too small in the cup for my left breast, but I'm crossing my fingers that this resolves as the tight, firm band stretches a bit with wear.

Any thoughts on related Comexim styles I might enjoy? What is on your Comexim wish list?
