Short roots, center full, close set, somewhat narrow, omega shape, projected, and soft...

After trying 200+ bras and waiting two months for each special order bra, I was desperate. Desperate for one wired bra I could wear for more than two hours without my lymph nodes screaming ("pins and needles" sensation in my armpit). My wireless bras are fantastic, but sometimes I need more support than they offer. This is it! Eureka! Hallelujah.

Previously, I had tried this bra in Blithe (aqua), and the band was too long. Shortening the band caused the somewhat sharp cup edge to abrade my arm pit. Knowing black dyes require higher temperatures, I hoped ... the Black model of this bra would present a smaller band that wouldn't require an alteration. I'm thankful for black bras https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

This is what I appreciate about B.wow'd bra:
1. Very low and narrow gore--both characteristics are essential for a bra to fit me
2. Room for center-full breasts at both the top and bottom of the gore
3. Foam encapsulated, flexible underwires
4. Enough padding that I don't instinctively cover my chest to protect my very sensitive nipples.
5. Tolerates projected breasts
6. Soft fabric
7. Rounded, smooth profile under thin knits
8. Seamless
9. $20
10. Immediately available
11. Graduated padding

Detractions
1. Limited cup sizes. I'm wearing a 36DD because a 30FF is not available
2. Narrow Straps (.4" )
3. 2x3 Fasteners
4. Somewhat sharp cup edge
5. Cup wrinkles easily

Although this bra is recommended for the wide set and shallow community, I can strongly recommend it for the close set, center full, short-rooted community as well. And, I would have never discovered it without Bratabase. <3 Discontinued and available for a steal on Amazon and Ebay.

Cappuccino has the tightest band: stretching to 33".
Black band stretches to 34".
Blithe band stretches to 35".

Dimensionally, Blithe did not fit well enough to keep, but Cappuccino with its 2" shorter band fits best of the three colors. This is one wired bra I can wear for a few hours without intense discomfort. All other bras in my wardrobe are wireless. The other wired bras I, literally, never wear.

Outstanding bra for my close-set, center-full, short breasts! But, I'd prefer an option for close-set, center-full, short-waisted people that doesn't involve a lump of padding.

Short roots, projected, slightly narrow, center full, close set....

After finding the 34DD cup uncomfortably small, I purchased the 36DD. The pain I was experiencing in the 34DD is not present in the 36DD. The band is several inches too large, but my sewing machine is ready for the band shortening task. When the straps are crossed, the band's size is a glaring detraction: the crossed straps improve the lift and centering significantly. When the band is shortened, I'll experience more lift without the straps crossed, too. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Wire haters: these wires are padded and ... difficult to see as well as feel. The padded wires coupled with the push-up pad move my sensitive tissue up and away from irritating wires. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> This is critical to my comfort in a wired bra.

For me, this fit is similar to the Ewa Michalak 3D. There is space for center fullness, projection, and close-set breasts. I prefer wider straps and 3x4 fasteners, but those are the characteristics that endear me to Comexim. Those who like "less bra" will appreciate the narrow straps and 2x3 fasteners.

For a few dollars from Amazon, I recieved a bra presenting a rounded and centered shape under tight knits that rivals Freya Deco. Better yet, I can't feel the wires. I'm thrilled with this bra. Proudly, I will wear my fitted t-shirts https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Off to shorten the band...

Edit: I temporarily shortened the band. When shortened, the sharp edge abrades my tail of spence. Sigh. This bra was SO comfortable....until the band fit. Ugh.
