This is so close to fitting, and absolutely gorgeous. The band runs tight, which is perfect for me with a 29 inch underbust. I was concerned about the cup height (known for being tall) and strap width (known for being wide), but they're both absolutely fine. The wires are too wide, and there's not enough immediate projection for me, but bending the wires in has remedied both of these issues (but I could still do with a touch more depth at the wire). I asked for the gore to be overlapping and narrowed, and it's definitely narrow enough to not be a problem for me, but it still doesn't quite tack. I need more room for center fullness. Every couple of hours I have to reverse swoop and scoop to get my breasts back in the cups and get the gore closer to my sternum.

I'm thinking of asking for narrower wires and added depth (along with the gore alterations) on my next order, but I'm not sure if these would fix my center fullness issues. Maybe it's worth going up a cup size? I've read that gores often don't quite tack with Comexim bras because of the soft wires, and when I put it on it's only a tiny gap so I'm not too concerned about that, but it does get pushed out to over a fingers width away as I'm wearing it which is far less good.

• Ah interesting - I'm super curious about trying a Comexim longline!
  Not far from your size range, I'm generally 70K in Comexim.

  However, until now I haven't done super well in longlines (band pressure can get uncomfortable and / or flip up) so I'm contemplating whether or not to try one.

  If you don't mind some questions (I know every body is different) - did you find the longline band comfortable, did it stay put? Does the band have reinforcement / boning or is it just fabric?

  Thanks a lot!!

  Hi bubblegum! The band doesn't have any boning, but so far I've found it stays in place quite well. I get a little bit of wrinkling at the front, but I think that's more because of the cups riding down than the band riding up. It's comfortable for me, but the band is very firm so your mileage may vary if you have issues with band pressure.

  Thank you!
  Might bite the bullet and go for a longline in a Black Friday order (if I ever conquer my indecisiveness on what to buy, hehe)
