This is my first time to try a half cup bra without lowering the gore and I’m glad it’s quite good!

My shape is projected, full on top and centre with narrow & tall roots. Soft tissue and extremely close-set breasts. My usual UK size is 28F and Comexim size 60HH.
I have never had a half-cup bra before except for the Comexim 3HC since they are usually too wide (especially with UK bras) with too sturdy wires that would hurt at the gore. With basically no distance between my breasts, I always request for a lowered gore even in lined 3HC from Comexim. This time, I take my usual size 60HH but did not request a lowered gore since most unlined bras with a low gore means less room for my top fullness. All unlined plunges basically cut in my tall roots except for those with stretch lace like the Panache Andorra plunge. I decided to try an unlined 3HC from Comexim because I am just in need for a plain white bra that doesn't add any bulk.

This bra fits just as well as the lined 3HC. I would recommend to take your usual Comexim size if you would like to try an unlined bra from them. Although I didn't ask for a lowered gore, it is still low compared to most half-cups on the market. The soft wires help too. But I think my breasts are too close together so the gore is not laying flat. Since I asked for an overlapped gore, I also expected it to be narrower. Like lined 3HC's, the wires are narrow, and cups quite deep and open on top. With its stretchy material, the cups also accommodate lots of top fullness. Band runs true to size.

Overall I find this bra fitting quite similarly as the usual lined 3HC.

This bra is not owned any more

  what a lovely bra! I hardly ever see anyone reviewing unlined Comexim half cups, but I've been interested in them for a while now. Might take the plunge after seeing your review.

  I am not usually drawn to white bras, but this one is super pretty and looks great on you!

  What type of clothing do you wear with plain white bras? I usually just do black and nude, I have no idea how to wear other colors with clothing. White has always baffled me!

  Charlotteke I am surprised unlined Comexim is not more popular too! It has really good quality and fits just as well as the lined HC.

  belleandblues I wear mainly white t-shirts / shirts over white bras. I never wear any beige bras because I just don't like the colour. I try to match the colour of my clothes to the bra so it won't be too visible, or I can wear any pattern under dark-coloured clothes. But the problem with white bras is that they tend to gradually become yellow/grey tinted if they are not washed separately with white items only.

  Beautiful bra and fit! The design on the cups is really pretty.

  Thanks so much for this information, I'll be ordering some with my next haul! I have a few unlined Kris Line half cup bras underway that look very similar to this. They were on heavy sale so I took a gamble because I so love the look of them. I used to wear a similar style from Aubade until I sized out of their range, such beauties!

• I’ll have to try matching light bra colors to light colored clothing then, for some reason I just assumed it wouldn’t work as well as nude, but I agree that nude isn’t the most attractive color. I am trying to branch out with colors more since so many European brands make pretty colors that you don’t find as often here in the US.

  I am also thinking about placing a Comexim order in the future to get the Ingrid Plunge, but I’ll put this on the list as an unlined option to try. Do you have any other unlined styles from Comexim that you would recommend or want to try?

• belleandblues I have heard that matching bras to your skin tone also works well. For example many Caucasians have pink undertones and pink or even red bras aren't noticeable under white shirts. It will take some trial and error, but I really dislike nude so I wouldn't mind if my light-coloured bra are somewhat noticeable.

  Sharon / Coco are unlined cuts that have been more popular although I haven't tried them myself. So is Bridget, a newer model, but I am not sure if it is still available. If I could, I would love to try Musetta as it just looks very good in the pictures!

  It sure looks deliciously airy and supporting, quite a difficut to achieve performance.

  However is it me falling for an optical illusion or the underwires sit about 1 finger too low from the IMF?

  Kind of hard to tell, it's so smoothly curved.

  Thanks, have a glorious day !

  femineaaeterna You are not the first person to say the bra sits too low, but when I check where the wire marks are after I take the bra off, they are right at the IMF. It might look that way because I have long boobs, lol

  Thank for enlightening me, I was just worried since bras that do not click on the IMF and sit below are of very common occurence even on catalog models.
  Be happy, have a glorious day !
