I meant to order this in 60L but I forgot to add the size in the comment box. I did not notice until I got the shipping notification, oops! I find a lot of Comexim bands to be very stretchy and have to move to a tighter hook pretty quickly, so I have 60 and 65 band sizes in Comexim bras. It fits well on the loosest hook for now. I need a lot of support from the band and a very low gore due to symmastia. Lowering the gore can affect the cup depth and I have a lot of immediate projection so I ordered this with ... the gore lowered 2cm and added depth at the cup. Between sewing my own bras and learning about shape and size, I recognize a lot of the issues that come with lowered gores/added depth and how much it affects the support overall. It's a beautiful bra and fits fairly well, but there are some minor inconsistencies. It is not a bad thing, and should be expected when bras are hand made to order, especially with alterations. This is just the first time I've noticed it. The cup is made with a double mesh layer which gives great support. The left cup on this bra is beautiful and the mesh lines up perfectly. The right side was sewn a little differently, and there is a little bit of bunching in both layers of the mesh along the wire. This may be due to the added depth alteration (the immediate projection is wonderful), or a combination of the added depth, lowered gore, and some bunching in the mesh. The left wire channel is sewn over the right, and the right wire starts a little lower because of the overlap. This differs from the Naomi I ordered in November, where the wires begin at the same exact height and are overlapped in the center. On this bra, the wires do not overlap at all, just the wire channel is overlapped. I cannot tell from other photos of the Angel if this is how it is usually made, and it could be that it was done this way because I ordered the gore lowered. I did have the thought that it may be a new adjustment to fix the issues some other users have been having with the twisting gore. The way the wire channels are sewn compared to the Naomi is much better for comfort at the top of the gore and I can fold it for storage where I can't with the Naomi. I'm interested to see if this adjustment continues or if it was a random occurrence with my bra because I lowered the gore and added the cup depth. I wish the left side had been the one with all the bigger measurements, because it's my bigger side. When I push the gore all the way to my sternum (I almost never get a full tack with wires taller than 2 inches because of symmastia), the left side experiences a tiny bit of quadding.

Editing my review to add: I have worn and washed this a couple times now, and the inconsistencies are no longer there. Maybe the fabric wasn't pre-washed, or there was some stretching in the sewing process on the right side of the bra. It's now a symmetrical, beautiful Comexim bra. Unfortunately it's too small for me, so I will probably list it. I plan to reorder in 60L with the same alterations.
