This bra is very comfortable and incredibly soft. The lace does continue all the way around the band which looks great. I got this in a 32F since it is a Nuance Plunge and it was also the closest size that Erica at Sophisticated Pair was getting in. I had gotten the Stiff Cappuccino from her in 30FF and it didn't work out for me, it was unaltered and the cups were much to tall especially near the strap, I think it may have ran a bit taller since it was an older model, but I didn't get measurements because I was in a rush to ... get it ready to ship back.
While the Caramel Latte Nuance plunge works much better for me than the 30FF Stiff Cappuccino it's not quite as good a fit as my custom ordered Comexims. I'm actually wondering if the cups were reduced at all, I have 65H that to my knowledge is not altered and has the same cup height measurement as the Caramel Latte, and my other 65H Comexims that are reduced 2cm measure almost exactly 2cm less than both the unaltered 65H and the 32F Caramel Latte.

I also tried the bra on for a bit longer today and I don't feel quite supported enough. I think it is a combination of issues causing this probably because without the cup and strap alterations the 32F is a bit too big for me. I have Comexim's in 65H (30FF) with 2cm reduced cups and straps moved in that fit quite well, both with and without alteration to the gore.


Update: I emailed Erica and she did find out that in my size the Nuance Plunge only receives a reduced gore and no alterations to cup height or strap placement. Erica has been extremely helpful and I am sending this one back for a Lady Grey in 30FF in the Sophisticate that does have all the alterations I usually get with the cups reduced, straps moved in and lowered gore.

I want to love this bra but it doesn't get along with my tall, flat roots. The cups don't cut in, but there is a bit of empty space in the tops of the cups I don't fill in. I know by now that Comexim plunges probably just don't work for me, but they're hard to resist!

The straps on this bra are IMPOSSIBLE. They are so hard to adjust. I guess it's a feature to prevent them from loosening up during wear, but it took me forever just to loosen and tighten the straps while trying on.

I'm also not a fan of seamed cups on the Comexim bras I've tried. There is too much of a difference between the padding and the seam, creating a lumpy look. I have Wacoal bras that are sewn more evenly or with thinner foam to prevent these ridges. I am pretty picky about this sort of thing though. If I did find the perfect Comexim fit like everyone else, maybe I would live with it? One day.

Beautiful well made bra, just not my size. The red is gorgeous and lovely Asian inspired floral print.
