I placed my first EM order this past weekend which I'm super excited about. The sizes are of a mix from 65E/65F/70DD since I ordered from stock. I'm hoping at least one or two fits. I want to place another order with Comexim by tomorrow before I go MIA for a bit, but I've given myself a limit of 3 items and I'm being indecisive.
I'm also considering one of Anna Pardal's new cuts. Have any of you gotten the email about that? They're offering 4 new styles. I'm interested in two: The Nuance Plunge which "reduces the cup height, adds hook and eye closures, and moves the straps in for H+ cups. For 26 to 32 bands, the center gore is slightly lower, and for 38+ bands it is slightly higher. " and the Sophisticated Balconnette: "With a closer-set strap and a lowered balconette cup compared to the Classic Plunge, it's a silhouette that is a bit more open without losing the narrower wiring of our plunge or the support of a three-part cup. We make gore adjustments throughout the size range, with a lower gore in the 28-32 band sizes and a raised gore in the 38+ range."
I really want to test one out but it costs about twice as much as a regular Comexim. Is there really much of a difference? Or are they just essentially the same thing, different brand name?

Oh! What did you get from EM?
What are you getting from Comexim?
What do you want from AP?
I think it's awesome that Anna Pardal is offering all the different cuts. She's basically offering the most requested alterations for free.
I've read in a few places that Anna Pardal is a lot nicer. Better materials, better finishing, and better grading. I've also read that they seem to have more projection in the bottom. I can't say for sure on any of that because I haven't tried them yet, but I've never read anything bad.
I know gogobee has both brands, maybe she can explain any differences.
So from EM I ordered a 70DD CHP Marcepanowa Magnolia, 65E CH Kabaretka, 65F PL Cappuccino and S Pralinka. I'd seriously be happy if at least just one or them fit.
As for Comexim, I'm still stuck wanting a Geisha. I think I want Queen of Hearts and Sapphire as well. BUT I'm contemplating replacing my current Ingrid and Irish Coffee with a 65H with the alterations I need. I have them unaltered and they're OK. I think I'd be better off with the lowered cups, straps moved in, etc... I can't decide ðŸ˜
From AP, probably the Nuance cut in one of the fabrics that don't cost extra...maybe the Sabine. It's basically a red Geisha. Also contemplating ordering the Sophisticate in the same fabric for science lol. But it's either I go Comexim or AP. I can't do both right now. I'll probably order the other one in a month or so.
