Help with Comexim sizing?
Hello all. I've never used this feature of Bratabase so hopefully I'm doing it right...!
After reading the Feminine Curve's review, I'm planning on making a Comexim Juliette my next buy. I've asked around a bit on r/ABraThatFits and am debating whether to get a 60HH or a 60J. Could anyone here offer any advice? It seems like the HH is about equivalent to a UK FF cup and the J a UK G, but I waver between those two sizes! My underbust measures 27.5" snug, 25.5" break-the-tape (and exhaled); my bust is 37" standing, 39" leaning (though I have a broad, muscular back, so a lot of that measurement isn't boob). Their sizing chart which puts me in a K/L cup in a 60 band, which seems pretty ridiculous for me.
You can see in my profile which bras fit me well, but basically the best shape that I've found so far is Freya's three-part 'balcony plunge', as I think they call them (the ones I own are Hello Dolly, Patsy, Martha). In a 28FF, the cups and wires are almost perfect. I have a 28FF Deco that fits pretty well; I quadboob in it after scooping and swooping but that settles after a couple minutes, and the wire doesn't really suit me--I can't get it to sit in my inframammary fold--but it looks fine under clothes and doesn't hurt.
I have also tried a number of Panache bras, all of which fit in a 28G, though the wires are far too wide. The worst offender was the Tango plunge, whose wires ended up nearly on my back! I have one Cleo, the Bella (same cut as the Marcie), in a 28G, whose wires are a touch too wide but whose cups are nearly perfect in size.
Anyway, sorry to ramble. I just don't want to spend all the money on the bra only to send it back. I'm already taking a gamble because the wires may too narrow, but I want to give it a shot. Thank you for your help!

I ended up using my regular band measurement and then using their chart for cup size. Depending on the brand, I normally wear a 28GG or 30G. I ordered a 60J - Comexim » Magic Blue and a 65HH - Comexim » Juliette and hoped one of those would fit. I was lucky enough to purchase a Basic (170) in 65J from another user before I made my purchase from Comexim, and that gave me an idea of what size I should go with. I'm pretty happy with my purchases. Even though some have said that the Magic Blue runs tight, I found it to be more or less true to size, but then I like a firm band.
Thank you, brasockpuppet, that's very helpful! It looks like the 65HH Juliette fits you pretty well, so I'll definitely go for the 60HH rather than J. :)
