About 6 years ago, I began my journey to find a bra that fits. It has taken me through hundreds of bras across dozens of brands. By now I have a small - but mighty - collection of bras that are a great fit, bras that are very comfortable, and bras that are very beautiful. The rest of the pieces in my stash are either no longer my size and/or just too cute to part with. Normally I preface even my most positive reviews here with caveats about something that wasn't quite right. It gapes here, it wrinkles there, it cuts in, it won't stay put, the band tension is uneven, etc. Losing weight along the way has made it even more tricky to nail down my size and a great fit that I could replicate. When I first ventured into Polish bras and Comexim in particular, I struggled at first to find the right alterations and it seemed hopeless as bra after bra *kinda* fit, but something was off. When I did get a plunge style that fit, I ordered 4 more and none of them fit like the first one.

Over the years I've found some decent fits across a few brands and some very pretty stuff (RIP Fauve) but that special a-ha "perfect fit" moment I saw others experience had eluded me. Until now! This set is everything I dreamed of: uniquely beautiful, supremely comfortable, and a fun pattern with custom alterations to the bra and the briefs. My review is coming in a bit late, but I'm glad I managed to snag Aida before she disappeared. The set was literally made for me (thank you, Comexim, I don't know where I'd be without you) and it fits more perfectly than any other bra I've tried. I finally found my best alteration combination: 3HC with overlapping gore, straps moved in, and - the wildcard that paid off - added depth at the wire. In my current size (60HH) I don't need narrower wires or reduced cups or a taller or shorter gore or anything else I had been messing with to no avail. Now I'm desperate to try this cut it in an unlined style and see if it works with that, too. Full review on the blog!

Have you had your a-ha moment yet? Please share!

It’s perfect. Is this a dream?

• Thanks for a great blog review. The bottoms are quite unique! I wish I could pull off high waisted panties, but they just (unfortunately) look weird on me. I got the Diana in a 3HC (same bra as the Aida 3HC but has no strappy parts) with 2 pairs of thongs. I love my set too, and the adjustable straps on the bottoms are quite unique.I adore Comexim bras in general actually, and I've had quite a few excellent fitting bras from them over the last few years. My current fav is 60J - Comexim » Scottie 3hc.

• I love those panties! One thing I like about this model is that it is not the usual black strap detail. The colors are quite lovely.

  Wilderness1 Thank you! Yes, Joanna outdid herself with the bottoms. I basically said that I still wanted the strap detail but I prefer high waist to low-rise, and it just show up like magic. I thought it might feel bulky on because the straps are kind of standard size and not really narrow like I thought they might be. But even with all the adjusters etc, I don't feel anything and it fits like a glove. I didn't have to tinker with the adjusters either. Straight out of the box fit. I really struggle to find bottoms that fit, almost as much as bras, so I own few matching sets. I really prize this one. The fabric itself is so soft, too.

  @AllyBra I agree - the colors are really nice. They remind me of autumn. I'm not the biggest fan of black, but I really enjoy navy and warm reds and deep greens. This is the first time I saw paisley in a bra and I just had to try it. Honestly it's much prettier in person than on the website. But I often say that about Comexim!
