Alterations: Reduced cups, straps moved in, cookie pockets, 1 cm extra depth at the wire. The first three were done, unsure about the extra depth. But since this fits better than my Lavender with reduced cups only, I think they did add 1 cm—or maybe it's because this cut is less closed than the other plunges.
This is almost perfect, but since I requested the same alterations on two other bras that don't fit (one actually ended up smaller than the first iteration with reduced cups only), I'm not exactly hopeful that this can be replicated. I'll just be satisfied that I finally got the cute bra-print bra, on ... the fourth try. I've basically been doing all these trials for the bra and bird prints 😂
I really love Comexim, but the hit or miss alterations are getting to me. Especially since I've had three Avocado orders in a row that were pretty great, not always the *perfect* fit bc I need the shortest bras, but all wearable and fancy.
I've been all over the place on what to do, but I think I'm probably better off sticking with 55J 3HC, maybe with extra depth at the wire, to minimize disappointments or—if I ever want to take another chance (probably not lol)—55J plunge with reduced cups (13.5-14 cm cup height seems to be my sweet spot), straps moved in, reduced gore.
Or I'll just shop around some more until I can find a sure thing, because I do like the less cake-y shape of the plunge. I asked about the Ewa Michalak S today, and it seems like the cup height is similar to the Comexim reduced cup plunges in this size range, so maybe I'll try that sometime. Wide-set straps might be worth it for a consistent cut.
Update: Ewa Michalak S starts at 55G. I think that might be too large for me, but I'll keep it in mind.

Ah this is the plunge Adele? You were talking about this, not the lavender! So glad you at least got something almost perfect but yeah, it's hard to have the alteration guaranteed each time. I think the basics do run the tiniest bit smaller, even with alterations, that's just how it might be, idk. The other one, no clue why the depth of that one is so small, it's basically a 55H with .5 cm more!
