Didn't fit

I had ordered this as a 3hc but unfortunately this 2hc was delivered. (Sweet Joanna offered me a discount for my future order as compensation https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> )

Due to this happening, I could confirm for sure that the 2hc style is much shallower at the bottom of the cups than the 3hc. 3hc bras have never given OIG effect that much whereas this 2hc does. You can see in on the pictures.

However I think that the 2hc is a more supportive style because of the shape it gives. It pushes the bottom of my breasts (because it is shallow?), and makes breasts like cakes on a plate. This cut reminds me of Curvy kate's Tease me or Ridge. (The wires are much narrower and the cups much deeper though!)

Even though I didn't request, the gore is overlapped and narrower than other comexim bras I have. But it is still so tall, that it floats a bit. I will try a lowered gore next time to avoid the floating gore since the overlapped gore doesn't work for me.

The band is quite firm for now. 38 size fits like stretchy 34 bands, which suits me perfectly. But I am not sure whether it will stretch out or not. It is made of double layered mesh used for body shaping underwears.

And there are wrinkles on cups near straps for unknown reasons. I want to know why.

Alteration I asked
-moved in straps 3cm
-reduced cups
-cookie pocket

    I got a 2 instead of 3 when I ordered too. Keep reading this lately! Looks like you have some quadding on the one side...could be why the gore is not tacking. If 3 is deeper it is a better cut for you :) Beautiful bra!

  • Ugh. It is beautiful, but the order fulfillment errors! :-( :-(
