Need the low down on Comexim alterations
Alright so I've been reading all over trying to nail down what alterations to get to properly cage my inseparable (super close set) twins. Problem is when it comes to certain alterations I don't know the "physics". As in when you change this, the cups do this, and then you might need to compensate with this. Like reducing the gore makes the cup a bit smaller/shallower and vice versa increasing it adds depth. But then what exactly does narrowing the gore or moving the straps change in terms of bra fit? For those of you that have gotten alterations done by Comexim can you help me understand how each alteration changes the fit?
Also out of curiosity I'd love to know any and all kinds of alterations you guys have gotten! Like I, as of a couple days ago saw around here that you can get firmer wires. Others have gotten a narrower wire from a smaller cup size put into their ideal size cup. I want to know all of my options. Basically I wanna be like those people who go into coffee shops and ask for 6 different tweaks to their coffee but with bras and maybe only a little less pretentious lol.

Giggle. The alterations seem an unending list. Comexim's willingness to customize is incredible!!
I usually ordered overlapped gore, narrowed gore, straps moved in 2cm. Also, I have ordered a specific width and depth (I should have also specified the height because the cup was too tall for my shorties). If I were ordering again, I would ask for more depth near the wire. @jennyanni has experienced great results with this alteration as has @May_June.
Reduced gore, raised gore, taller wings, shorter wings, more fasteners, less fasteners, wider band, narrowed band, wider wire, narrowed wire, strap placement, gore width, cup height,.....
