The Joy is gorgeous and I’ve desired it for long. Sadly, I waited too long and Comexim ran out of fabric. Therefore I was ecstatic when I saw this one in a sister size listed! The pattern and colors are even more beautiful in real life.

Unfortunately, the fit of this longline is quite weird on me. I’ve never had a Comexim gore fully tack because of the soft wires and my close-set breasts, but this one sticks out by about 2 cm. Also, the entire front of the bra (from the bottoms of the cups towards the center gore) is not touching my ribcage. I could smuggle stuff in the gap inside the bra. Also, the gore seems much wider than in other Comexims I’ve tried.

The band is too big overall and rides up on the tightest hooks (at least this one has three rows of them unlike some Joys). At the same time, the band is a bit too tapered for my shape and the bottom edge feels quite tight already. This is a quite strange feeling.

Although I love the look of this bra, the fit is too far off for me to keep it. I think it might work better for someone with a bit more shallow and/or separated breasts.

This bra is not owned any more

  dbmamaz It is definitely! I think that a non-longline might function better for me. myfashioninsider Looking forward to seeing how you'll work it! :)

  Yup, that is exactly how my Papillon longline fits - not at all, but not due to the measurements. Its due to construction; apparently when Comexim first began doing longlines. Something about not attaching the cups correctly to a firm strip? The whole thing floats off the body, so nothing is as it should be elsewhere. I forget who, but someone here posted that they have 'solved the problem' now. Too late for you & me, Nml817 sadly! Dang thing is in my project box to add a band, or sew down - something, idk.

• Comexim longlines in general are not very well constructed. In regular bras, the front panel is lines with a non-stretch mesh while the wings are lined with a stretch power mesh. In longlines, the front panel is lined with the same stretch mesh of the wings/band. The cups also are set wider (so the gore is wider) and the cups fit shallower. Its just how their longline bras are constructed.

  Its kinda sad because I reeeeally want a longline that works for me and have only found one thats doable

• jennyanni kermitdafrog21 I see what you mean about the construction! That's quite sad. :/ I hope they're working to fix the issue. I'm not sure but it looks to me like the newer Rose longline might be better constructed.
