OMG, I haven't had sexy lingerie in YEARS. This is so close to perfect and I need to pinpoint what alteration tweak I need to do on my next order. I have the tiniest bit of space at the top of the cup that is fixed with a little pinch- photos for my new Eris will show that. (Big Comexim order) but a smaller cup size would overflow, so maybe reduced cup or cookie pockets? I have very soft tissue and am very FOB so structure and lift is my jam, with the depth that Comexim provides. I also apparently need to go down a band size and request shorter straps, when this stretches it will lose all support since I am already on last hook with straps all the way tightened.

  yeah, worth trying reduced height on these. The only comexim I have (80M - Comexim » Coco (381) ) , the outer edge of the cup came so far above my breasts that I actually tucked a little tub of lip balm in there to show the extra space - i was told that is why most people who order very large cups in Comexim order the reduced cup. Yours aer too tall all over, but it probably would still help. They say that reducing cup height effectively reduces the bra by a cup size, but probably not if you are FOB

  I have the same problem with Comexim, although I am a smaller size (55K/60J). Reducing the cup height makes such a huge difference when you have short, FOB breasts. And cookie pockets are the best- even if you don't end up using them, they make the bra more comfortable to wear. The straps look a bit wide set for you as well, so it might be worth requesting to have them moved in a couple of centimetres. I love the aesthetics of Aida- it looks fabulous on you.

• Now I'm wishing I didn't order 4 bras at once ;-) but I thought I knew what I needed for alterations. Going to need to look into how to tweak them myself.

  dbmamaz- Yes I really need to lower the underarm area as well as the cup a little bit. Going to have to find some DIY bra alteration support. :)

  Sonya- Thank you! I love it. This has the straps moved in 2cm (or, I requested that alteration be done...) and I really should request 3 cm In all the alterations and translation work I forgot I wanted to add cookie pockets to try. How would you describe them making the bra more comfortable?

• They use a super soft cotton so it feels great. If you don't specify, they often use mesh pockets but they aren't as soft.

• sunflower, its also probably worth asking at some local seamstresses how much they would charge to do it - and definitely only DIY one at a time!

• Oh I bet Nordstrom will do it, good idea. I had another bra converted to a nursing bra there. Definitely only will mess with one! Probably the Honey cookie since I like that one least :p
