I ordered this bra direct from Comexim. It took just about a month to ship, and so disappointing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Well, just the fit. The bra itself is SO CUTE!! I really wanted this to work. This is now my 3rd failed attempt at Comexim, and I wanna get it right! I'm determined!!

But the Dottie is such a girly girl's bra, with the polka dot theme in turquoise and pink, and contrasting black and pink bows on the straps and the gore. I love that the straps on this are a bit wider, pretty similar to Freya's. However, they did seem to be a bit too far apart, though I asked for them to be taken in 2cm. I also asked for cookie inserts and they gave me the actual "pocket" for the cookies but without any actual cookies. Lol. The wings were perfect height! I was able to hook the band on the FIRST set of hooks (with a 27" Ribcage, there's a rarity for me). I ordered this with an additional row of hooks and eyes for the extra support. It does seem to be a true 60 band, measuring only 20.5" and stretching to just 28" (which was about the point where the wires were being distorted). The band did seem stretchy, but not loose by any means. But for some reason, while wearing the bra, it appeared as though there was too much tension or something at the center gore, strange.

Now onto the fit - I just don't know. I may be asking for fitting help/advice with this one. I just can't seem to pinpoint my size with this brand, and it's super frustrating!! But the "notoriously" narrow wires (at only 5.3" wide) still came out pretty far under my arm, which leaves me completely baffled. You can see where my actual boob begins through the empty fabric under my arm, and I get orange in a glass with both cups (more so on my left). I guess this is because there isn't enough immediate projection at the base of the cup? Yet there is some gaping at the edge of the cup (where I'm normally quad boobing out of them). The cups are def too big in that respect. It was almost a good fit. And the cup separation seemed perfect for my close-set boobs (only .5" apart). But the tall gore was def bothering me (at 3" high). The wires were digging into my sternum. Normally, I would request a lowered gore, but with my previous attempt in the Brigitte I thought the plunge style was the problem. So I decided to leave the gore height alone and only got the reduced cups instead. But, for whatever reason, this bra (this BRAND) just doesn't seem to be working for me. So sad.

Overall, this bra is "simply" adorable!! Fairly comfy (maybe more so if it fit properly). Good quality. I also got the matching thongs in a Small and didn't even attempt to try them, they are def SMALL!!! More like an EXTRA small! Lol! But cute. Oh well, I'm still going to continue on with my Comexim Quest!!!

This bra is not owned any more

• With no side profile picture, I can't tell if the wires are too wide for you. Comexim wires are flexible, so there's that. OIG is not because of a shallow cup, it's caused by too-narrow wires that prevent your boob from completely getting into the cup and therefore leaving space at the bottom of the cup. This just looks like a case of too shallow and too small, honestly.

  I would send these pictures to Anna, explain your problems, and ask for her advice. In my opinion, I think 60K is close but do not think you need reduced cups. You still have quite a bit of boob sitting above the cup of this bra - a regular height cup shouldn't be too tall on you. Dottie is also a newer style with their newer cut, that looks like a Free Time or Poison Ivy clone, and those cups are shorter than the Basic or older plunges to begin with. I've got shorter roots than you and don't need a reduced cup.

  Bras that are too small can still cause gapping in weird places. Reducing the cup height reduces the overall cup depth, and moving the straps in can definitely alter the cup shape and fit. With more cup depth, you may be able to get more of your boob in the cup, and ameliorate some of these recurring fit issues. Just my 2 cents! A fit check may garner more opinions!

• I did include a side profile pic, always do ;) If you wanna check again and let me know what you think, if not it's ok too. Lol. I requested the reduced cups because I wanted a bit less coverage for lower necklines. That, and I thought it might help with the fit issues I had in the Brigitte with "pointy" cups and empty fabric. And I don't think the straps were taken in on this at all, they're just placed too far out for me and irritate my armpit :( I wish you had seen the side profile pic I posted, because it's very confusing to me. The wires are def narrow yet I have empty fabric on the sides and they seem to come out too far. But thank you for the input. Much appreciated, and I agree. I think my next attempt with Conexim I will only ask for the additional row of hooks and eyes and leave the rest alone, as is, to see if the fit is better.

• Oh I see it now! Yeah it looks too wide. Weird! Have you tried pulling the whole bra up into your IMF? Will it go in there at all? From the back view it kinda looks like it's all sitting too low. I'm still leaning towards it being too small.

• As soon as I saw that empty space under my IMF, I tried pulling it up a bit, I even tightened the straps a good bit, but it just caused more gaping up top. I honestly think it might just be this model. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on it. And I have a friend who had some pretty odd, awkward fit issues as well. I was told this is one of their newer cuts and it just doesn't seem to be working for me. But I'm gonna try one of their older models without any alterations and take it from there. I think I'll try a 60J. Thanks for all of your help :)

  It does look suspiciously shallow for a Comexim! I hope that's not the way they go with all their models eventually. Projected ladies are already sorely hurting for padded bra options.

• Yeah it does look like its sitting really low in the back view. I think it has to do with the immediate projection at the bottom of bra being to shallow. Prob not best for FOB boobs and better for softer tissue. It's sitting way too far under your IMF and does look kind of wide on the sides :-/

• Yeah, looking at my pics, I see just how low it's sitting. And it's really obvious from the back view. I did try pulling it up. Maybe I need a 65 band? The band was super tight. But I think the bra was just too big in the cups overall. I don't know. Lol, I'm trying to make sense of this bra, and I just can't.
