I was completely attracted to the look of this bra based on the users' photos. I didn't realise there was more than 1 colour, so I didn't specify the colour when I ordered. Thankfully, Comexim seems to have the default colour of the Basic as beige. For a 'nude' bra, this one sure tries hard to be pretty. I'm not actually crazy about the shiny fabric. I find it tends to look like the 2-dollar bras we can get here in the market! But otherwise, it's reasonably attractive, with bows and lace that doesn't really show up under clothes.
The colour is actually darker and duller than I expected. ... I would describe it as a 'dusty' beige and actually appears to be more 'nude' under clothes than the regular beige bras.
The size is perfect on me, and I'm so glad I lucked out on the first try! As per Bratabase advice, I went with my usual band size and used the Comexim size chart only for the bust measurement, which brought me to 60H. For reference's sake, I usually wear a 28F in most UK brands.
The band is tighter than Freya's (I find Freya's bands a little loose for me), and has 3 hooks per column. I loooove how the band sits nice and low on my back all day long but did not feel unnecessarily tight. What is this sorcery? With my Cury Kates, I feel the tightness of my bands all day along, and even then, sometimes they threaten to ride up!
The straps are closer together than the other UK brands I've tried (that tend to dig into my underarms and leave dark marks that don't go away). They are also fully adjustable, soft, and stretchy. All in all, the comfort of the straps is amazing.
I must admit the feel of this bra isn't as luxurious as the UK bras I own. But with a so much better fit, I would definitely buy more of Comexim's bras! I just hope they would come up with more designs, and more styles like the strapless, wireless, etc. The cost of this bra is on par, if not a bit cheaper than UK brands, as the shipping is so much more cost effective, with tracking to boot!
