I love the aesthetics of this bra! Its a beige colored bra with burnt orange flowers and ribbons on the straps and the gore. Its beautiful! However from a fit standpoint, it doesn't work as well. It doesn't show up in the pictures but I'm definitely quadding out the top of this bra (its my first 3HC bra so maybe I need to go up a size from my plunge size?). To compound the issue, since its a longline, the band isn't too stable so the cups tend to slide down, making the quadboob even worse. The bottom of the band definitely rides up a lot as well. Some people on here seem to be able to get them to work, but I think I might have to accept that longline bras just aren't for me :/

For record keeping purposes, this bra was ordered with the following alterations:
Made in a 3HC cut
Made in a longline
Raised gore*
Reduced cup height*
Extra column of hooks (the clasp is 5x3)
Straps moved in
Cookie pockets added

(Note: The bra was ordered without confirming that all of the requested alteration were doable. Therefore, I'm unsure if the starred alterations were actually done, but the rest definitely were.)

This bra is not owned any more

  A lot of people need to size up from their plunge size for a 3HC. And Comexim's longlines need re-engineered completely. They are not nearly as stable as their regular bras and are often wider and shallower. A 70O regular 3HC would likely work much better on you than this. Beautiful, though!

• lcl0706 Yeah, I keep hoping the longlines will work but so far the only kind of success I've had was the Florence (because the whole front of the band is non-stretch). I actually ordered a not longline version in a 70N as well which should be here either today or tomorrow (guess I should have waited until I got this one first), but I'm hoping that the quadding isn't noticeable under shirts because I really like this one lol

• I think Ingrid (plunge or 3hc) runs a cup size small. I have ginger 3hc, otylia plunge and ingrid 3hc all in the same cup size. Only ginger gives me quadding, ginger and otylia are a bit big though.
