Comexim Half Cup Sizing - Style Advice
Hi friends,
Since a couple of bras from my last Comexim order did not fit, and I would like some more that do, I'm considering placing another order for the following styles, all as three-part half cups:
Want to order:
*Victoria (listed as 2HC, will order as 3HC)
*Ginger (listed as plunge, will order as 3HC)
*Basic (in black, beige, or both?, listed as plunge, will order as 3HC)
*Gemma (listed as plunge, will order as 3HC)
*Burgundy (listed as 3HC)
Past Comexim experiences:
*Burgundy 70E (listed by Comexim as 3HC) - definitely too small in the cups
*Sonia (ordered as 3HC, originally listed by Comexim as plunge) in 70F - perfect fit, band pretty stretchy
*Beauty (listed by Comexim 3HC) in 70F - perfect fit
*Georgia (listed by Comexim 3HC) in 70F - a touch small and/or not projected enough in the cups, but wearable
*Elena (2HC) in beige in 70F - gave me quadding (shape mismatch for me, I think)
*Elena (2HC) in black in 70G - gaping at top of cups, also wires too wide
*Honey Cookie (ordered as 3HC, originally listed by Comexim as plunge) in 70F - cups too open at top, large in general, a bit wide (fit like 70G?)
Two questions:
(1) Can you describe the fit of any of the "want to order" styles relative to any of the 3HC bras and my fits in them, below? I've Googled and searched on here and r/abtf and could still use some guidance. As with my last order, I'd go ahead and order them in 70F across the board, but was surprised to see such big differences in fit between previous plunges ordered as 3HC's and ones in my last order (i.e., Sonia 3HC in 70F - great!; Honey Cookie 3HC in 70F - really not great!), and between different listed-as-3HC styles (i.e., Beauty in 70F - great!; Georgia in 70F - a bit small in the cups). I know styles have slight variations even among the same size, but was wondering if anyone could comment on general trends.
(2) I think I'd be more comfortable with straps moved in 1-2 cm. Can anyone describe how this has affected the fit of their Comexims (half cup styles, specifically - e.g., needed to size up a cup with this alteration) Again, I've Googled and searched here & r/abtf but would appreciate any additional comments you might have.
Thanks for all of your collected wisdom! Also for those styles that didn't fit, they are listed for sale on here if you're interested : )

My sister has been a delighted Comexim wearer for one year. She was quadding a bit and ordered five different bras one size up. Every new bra was remarkably too shallow near the wire. Every new bra fit smaller than the smaller size she had purchased one year ago. I can't tell you how frustrated she feels!!! She is in your size range...
Best of luck!!!
My Ginger fit about half a cup small and my Beauty was right on - I think Beauty and Victoria are similar.
