Amore Mio

This is my second attempt at Amore Mio, as I had it prior in a 60P, which at the time of purchase fit perfectly. Since my breasts have grown, I opted to try it again during the Comexim Black Friday sale. This bra is an unpadded black lacy wired bralette. It is both sexy and girly. The lace has a two way stretch sideways, but not a four way stretch up and down. The outer section of the cup is lined with an opaque black for extra support.

For the measurements:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the ... body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 20” and stretches to a max of 26.25”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.75”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16.5”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

As for fit,
My husband laughed and called me small boobies while taking photos of this one, since it does make my breasts look really small (in comparison to how they normally look.) Yes, he can be a jerk sometimes, but he keeps me well stocked in bras and I love him.

Aside from his opinion, I do love this bra, and feel it is a very nice fit. The band is perfect at 26.25” and I can actually wear it on the loosest hook-set! That is something I don’t experience ever, so it is a super nice feature.

The cups fit great, with the gore sitting 1.5 fingers off my sternum (common for me) and it is very comfortable.

The only fit issue in my opinion is that the straps do not adjust short enough for me, but I can easily shorten them so this is not a problem in my opinion. Just like with Safiya (and all Comexim bras) the wires don’t follow the curve of my breast on the outer part of the cup, but I don’t mind since it isn’t causing any pains within this bra. It’s not on my breast tissue so I am fine with it.

The only alteration requested for this bra was moving the straps inward, which I do feel was done.

To start with a disclaimer, when I ordered this bra Joanna has warned me that it is designed to go up to size 80H, and beyond this size she cannot guarantee that the bra will be supportive enough. However, I'm very happy I ordered it regardless of this!

First off, the construction - The bra is a two-part cup with the cup continuing as a strap until above the shoulder. The strap is half adjustable, it has little stretch, and it continues on the band until the hooks and eyes. The cup is made of 2-way stretch lace, and the outer half of the cup is doubled with ... a thin layer of stretch beige fabric. The band is made of one layer of the same lace fabric, but it is true to size and moderately stretchy. I ordered it with the alteration wing height 11cm, which must have been done, since both the wing and the gore are very low.

I was at first surprised to see the bra categorised as a bralette, but after trying it on, this category makes a lot of sense. Unlike the other unlined Comexisms which I've tried (3-part half cups), this bra provides less lift and doesn't bring everything front and center. However, the bra is comfortable, very lightweight and provides a natural minimized rounded shape, so that's a success for me.

It's been a while since my last review... I think I am finally sorted with my depression. For past few months I bought large amount of new bras, and most of them turned out to be somehow wrong for me. I became more sensitive to pain, so had to get rid of some of my loved Ewa or Comexim bras as I can't stand their straps, painful wires or too tight bands. I am looking for small reason to get rid of some of my bras as my collection is simply too large !! (yes I said that loud - I HAVE TOO MANY BRAS! but the new ... collections are becoming prettier and prettier..) . I am trying to sell what I can and replace with new, more comfortable ones, which is not easy task. However, those bras that fit me, I can't express how happy I am! and one of such bras is Amore Mio...
Some time ago I bought Sugar Plum, that ended up being sold - too loose band, too large cups (even if i bought it in my usual soft comexim size 70F) and too long straps. I wasn't very much dissapointed as the colour did not make me to fall in love with it. But when I saw Amore Mio, I called comexim to ask if its possible to shorten the straps. And here we are! I have my loved Amore Mio (jeez, I love that name!)
I ordered this bra in two sizes (just in case of loose band and that usually sizing down in band makes bra overall little smaller) in 70E and 65G. While 65G have better width of the cup, the band is too tight for me (by half size).
70E offers me comfortable band - such a shame that is made of one layer of fabric, as double layer results in longer life, but definietly the lace is good quality.
Cup width. And this is the only place where I have 'problem'. I have narrow roots but this wires are like by 0.5-0.75cm too narrow for me, they gently sit on my skin - thankfully theres no pain or whatsoever, so Im not really bother with this issue. Comexim wires are flexible, which makes them more comfortable.
Straps placement is great for my narrow shoulders. Theres no discomfort and red skin caused by too far placed straps as I usually get in most brands (being petite sucks sometimes). Also as I mentioned above, I requested shorter straps so the support is better.
Cups are made of same fabric as the band. This fabric is kind of stretchy and does not offer as great support as other soft comexims but is not bad also. I am happy with support provided by this bra. Usually I take 70G in padded with modification of added cookie pockets, and when taking soft I go for 70F (which recently became inconsistent - Bridget is size too small, Sharon half size too small, Sugar Plum was too large, Karen is too large - really is only 50% I'll get it right...).
I got matching undies in size M and actually could go down to size S! The set looks sexy and is one of my favourite ones at the moment!
I sent an email to comexim asking if they're going have more colours of this beauty... i really hope so!!

(psst, I still have the bra in 65G for sale!)

The lace is a very pretty pattern, but this bra just doesn’t work for me. I knew it would be a gamble, though. I ordered a smaller band size than I usually do because I thought this would be more stretchy, like the purple love. The band is actually too small for me as a result, but it fits ok with an extender. The straps are my biggest problem with this bra. The material at the armpit feels scratchy and digs in. Because the lace extends past the curve of my shoulder, I also can't shorten the straps as much as I’d like.

Updated on Dec 30, 2018 Flag this

Well! I knew this probably would not work for me, but it was so lovely, I decided to try anyway.
The gore is 2cms higher than my 3hcs, so it stabs me in the sternum. I have bent the wires forward a bit and that has put a stop to it.
The whole bra is stretchy, band is by far the biggest I have ever received and the straps go nowhere near short enough.
I have a fair bit of empty space and wrinkling fabric at the top of the cups. I am full on top but petite, perhaps a height issue. I do find if I pull the straps tighter, ... most of the space and wrinkling dissapears, but some wrinkling seems to be caused by the second layer of fabric at the cup sides, being bigger than the under layer? it causes a crease, which if I pull back the outer layer a little disappers. Quite hard to describe but see photos. I will stitch tighten this layer by stiching it over, by the wire, and I will shorten the straps.

Even with all the fit issues, I bloody love this bra 😂 The lace and trim are beautiful. It gives a natural shape and would be useful for certain types of clothing.
I had no alterations and but wish I had asked for shorter straps, as previous reviewers of this bra have also found the straps too long.
For reference I am full on top, close set, centre full, projected and have narrow roots.
Edit - I have shrtoned the staps and pulled back some of the lace outer cup and stiched it to the wire casing. Easy to do and whilst the wrinkling and gaping is now mostly gone, I have discovered this bra lacks projection! If I scoop, I end up with a lovely space under my imf.

Amore Mio 60R (28LL)
Amore Mio is a dainty lace bralette in black. Only the outer lower area is lined with a thin fabric for support, while the rest of the bralette is just stretch lace. There is no padding what so ever. It is not for the modest who want to hide their nipples as they are very visible in this one.

This is my 3rd attempt at Amore Mio, as I had it prior in a 60P & 60Q (28L). My 60Q still fits on most days, but during hormonal swelling, the cups are too small. Since I love that bralette (it is truly my most comfortable bra) ... I wanted the option of wearing it on those swell days as well, so I ordered it in the 60R this time.

For modifications, I ordered the straps moved in and the wire channel completely overlapped at the top of the gore to accommodate my narrow frame and close set breasts. I also requested that they use the same wires they used in my 60Q Amore Mio which were perfect. While they did overlap the top of the gore, they did not honor the other requests, in fact the wires were over an inch wider which is beyond disappointing and completely changes the fit of the cups. My only other request was that if the 60R label was not available, that they use the UK 28LL instead as I wanted labels on my bras. They don’t stock the 60Q/R labels and I have received bras with no label in the past which I do not care for.

For the measurements:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 21.5” and stretches to a max of 29””. It has 3 hooks and 3 rows of eye loops. To compare, Amore in 60Q which was 20” to max of 26.25” and had 4 rows of eye loops. So one cup up they opted to make the band 2.75” longer……

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.75”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16.75”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

To compare, Amore 60Q was 12.75” to a max of 16.5”so minimal difference in depth. Additional measurements, the wires are 7.125” wide compared to the 6” on Amore 60Q. Seriously, the wires are 1.125” wider.


As for fit,
First I must say again just how much I love my Amore Mio in 60Q. It is the perfect bra. It is so comfortable that I can wear it on long car rides and all day shopping trips without any pains what so ever. The bra was perfect.

This 60R (along with both Sugar Plums in this order) is so disappointing. While I can most likely modify them to work, the wires are ridiculously wide and do throw the fit of the cups & overall support off, making this one nothing like my beloved Amore 60Q. I am so, so disappointed.

My last two Comexim orders were made with care, and Anna had insured the bands were short and the wires were perfectly narrow. This order, complete opposite. Why can’t they just be consistent?!?

While I am done buying bras for quite a while (shifted my priorities) I can honestly say that Comexim will not be a contender when I do buy bras again, as such differences are not acceptable.

I received this from MamaPagan to try out. This bra fits very well and is super comfortable. It gives me a more minimized look and I'm not quite sure why, as the wires are narrow.

Amore Mio in 60P

This review was written in October 2017 when bra first received & may not be completely accurate at this time.

Amore Mio is an underwired bralette that is unlined, and done in a gorgeous black lace. The outer lower section of the cup is lined with a thin sheer material for a bit of extra support. The center gore has a gold heart with “love you” engraved in it repeatedly. It is very pretty. It was not recommended that I get this one in a 60P, as Comexim didn’t feel that it would be supportive enough in that cup and band combination, but they ... were willing to do it at my own risk. Please factor this in with regards to fit and support within this review.

The band measures 22.75” to a max of 29.75”. This seems to be a common theme for their lacy banded bralettes, so keep that in mind when ordering. I ordered this one with an extra set of eye loops, so mine came with 3 hooks and 4 rows of eyes though it would usually come with 3 rows of eyes. The band sits a bit lower beneath the cups and is flat instead of curved at the gore. This feature does add extra support and comfort to the band.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 15.25”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.


I could have stretched the cups more but didn’t want to push it since its only lace. The height at the center of the cup is 9.25” so it provides a lot of “sexy” coverage. I requested the lace to be lowered by 8cm at the strap so that it ended before my shoulders, but instead they end on top of my shoulders, 6cm shorter than my Vogue Purple, which is disappointing but still better than Vogue Purple. (Yes, I do realize it wouldn’t really be a bralette if it ended before my shoulders……)

The straps were requested to be moved in 2.5cm, though based on where they sit in my armpit, I do not believe they were moved in at all. In fact, they are set exactly 2cm further out than my 60P Vogue Purple, which I had ordered to be moved in 2cm. The plus, this confirmed the Vogue Purple straps were moved in! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

The center gore is set wide at 0.7” with a height of 4.625” to the bottom of the flat band. I requested the center gore wires to be overlapped and the center gore height to be reduced by 2cm. At the given measurements, this was clearly not done. When I lay this one over my Vogue Purple at 60P, the wires and gore sit at the same height placement. The wing is 5.9” tall & the wires are 6.15” from top to top which is the second common wire that I get with my Comexim bras. I prefer the 6” wires, but the 6.15” is still doable for me. Since I requested the center gore wires to overlap, I was a bit surprised to see that they just barely overlapped at the tip instead of having them completely overlapped like I’ve gotten in the past as a standard feature.

The quality seems very nice with no notable imperfections aside from the customizations being incomplete.

Customizations requested vs. received:
Overlapped center gore wires - Request not done
Straps moved in 2.5cm – Request not done
Additional set of eyes – Received as requested
Lowered center gore 2cm if possible - Request not done
Lower lace at shoulder by 8cm to end before shoulders – Lower lace at shoulder by 6cm to end on top of my shoulders

As for fit, the cups are a bit big, or at least looser at the start of incline around the armpit due to the wide set straps and extra lace. It is still wearable and the actual part the holds my breasts fit fine, it’s just that extra upper lace that is an issue. Also, the lace pattern is wide spaced which means it’s not gentle on sensitive erect nipples. If you don’t have sensitive nipples this won’t be an issue, or if your lace placement puts your nipples at the darker area of the lace you’ll be fine. The band is a bit big as well, but I can wear it comfortably on the tightest hooks. Since the center gore wasn’t overlapped as requested, the gore is too wide and does sit with one wire on my breast tissue. If you compare the outer side of the cup/strap curvature to that of Purple Love pictures, you’ll see the difference that moving the straps in 2.5cm makes.

Overall, I am a bit disappointed that my customizations were not completely honored. I’m not sure if it was just because they were busy, if it was a language barrier issue, or if they didn’t want to do them (ie if they felt it would take away from the support.) I wish if that was the case that they would have brought it to my attention beforehand. Since I had received an email regarding this specific bra, I assumed all would be done as requested, as their only concern was the cup size not being advisable in this soft cup. Of the four bras I ordered this time, none of them were done as requested. While this isn’t a deal breaker for my love of Comexim, and I won’t complain to them directly about it, I am alas disappointed.

Updated views June 2018. This is one of the few Comexim bras that I still own and wear, as I got rid of most of them. I do get quadding in this one now due to new growth since October last year, but not enough to make it unwearable, just requires really loose straps to stop the dig in pain. This is one of my tender day bras, but I honestly I’ve only worn it 1 in the last 3 months (today to be exact!)
