This is my first experience with the newish side support balconette that I’ve been wanting to try since it came out. Unfortunately, at 11.5 inches depth, this appears to run a full cup size small. The band, too, is a little tighter than the other 95 bands I ordered, but not so tight it’s a problem.

My overall impression is that this is a great bra if only I’d gotten a cup size up! It has the narrowest cup i’ve ever experienced in my size range at 6 inches, and the stretch lace at the top is very forgiving, so much so that i’m not even getting much quadding even though I can clearly see where it should be quadding.

It has plenty of room at the wire, and toward the center for us center-full gals, and I got an overlapping gore and all of this somehow means - miracle of miracles - the gore tacks even without switching wires! It’s a soft tack at the very top, but I don’t feel that it’s affecting the stability of the bra overall, so I’ll probably leave it as is.

I will be ordering this style again, and I really, really hope they make more like it! I wore it all day without issue.

Update: Comexim confirmed in email that this style always runs smaller than the other cuts.

Update #2: I reordered this in a 95K per Comexim’s advice, and that one is far too large. So, uh, order your regular size and hope for the best?

This bra is not owned any more

  I just wish I knew for sure whether this really does run that small, or if it’s a mistake!! I suppose I could email Comexim about it..

  cupandahalf they have this same cut at Wellfitting in the doggo print if you like that, though mysteriously they don’t seem to offer it in the larger cup sizes. I’m already considering emailing them to see if I can get it in my size, since Comexim itself doesn’t seem to have a problem making this style in larger sizes, and i’m absolutely crazy for the dog print.
