This bra is indeed gorgeous! The colour is more of a rosy peach / salmon colour rather than pink, and the silver lace overlay is absolutely lovely. The colour combination is very delicate and beautiful. I also agree with the other reviewers that the pictures don't fully do it justice - it's prettier in real life.
Regarding alterations, I ordered it this one and a plunge, both with the alterations:
- reduced cup height
- reduced gore height
- straps moved in
I received an email confirming the alterations, but I had also read in another review that Comexim doesn't really do cup height alterations on half-cups. However, comparing the cup to another 3HC bra with the same cup size (but that one also with lowered wires), the alterations seem to have been done. The straps have been moved in, but only by 0.5cm, and the cup height is lower on the Sonia by 2cm near the strap. The gore height is the same.
The band is extremely stretchy. I had tried an 80 band in the Comexim Ingrid plunge before, and found it uncomfortably tight (I usually wear 34/36 bands). But the 85 band is way too loose - it stretches easily to 100cm! I think it's mainly because the band is made from just one layer of fabric, but this kind of inconsistency makes it quite a gamble to order bras with alterations from Comexim, as they are not returnable. However, their flexibility and willingness to help makes up for it as far as I'm concerned, as well as the excellent fit of the bras.
The Sonia being now discontinued, I'm keeping it, but I'm already on the tightest hook and the band starts to ride up.
The immediate projection is great, there is a lot of it! You can actually see that the bra is sewn in such a way so as to come out at an angle higher even than 90°. This bra has the most immediate projection from all I've tried up to now. I am very impressed with it, overall!
