My shape is low set, short and narrow rooted, and soft.

I was surprised by this bra, because I was expecting to get a padded bra. It's a 2HC (half cup with one vertical line), and it is a soft cup. I normally take Comexim soft cups in one size smaller than their padded cups, so this bra fits but doesn't provide the level of lift or support that I like from a soft cup. The straps are wide and supportive. The band is slightly stretchy (I could have stretched it more but the cups were distorting). The band has 4 x 3 sets of hooks, which is awesome. ... The cups themselves are quite stretchy inside. I could probably have quite a bit more volume and they would still fit (maybe that's why I get those lines along the inside?), but there is a thin black lining along the cups upper edge that may cut in if I had a lot more volume too. The bra itself is pretty, and the patterns are black flowers that are velvety to the touch. The pattern comes up higher onto the cups upper outter edge, and ends wtih a little bow on the strap. Pretty, but I don't have enough upper fullness to make it stand out. I requested straps moved in 1 cm and overalapping gore. It looks like these alterations were done.

Overall it's beautiful, excellent quality, and comfortable... but I really wanted a padded bra....

I'm not sure what's happening with this bra. My shape is projected, full on top and centre with tall and narrow roots, very close and low set which is self-supporting. It is important to note that I have a cleavage (due to the breasts being close together) and my nipples are way above my IMF (self-supporting) and a bit out (due to centre fullness) when unsupported. When leaning forward to imitate the state of my breasts supported in a bra, my nipples are higher and more centre.

My last Comexim was an unlined 3HC (Bianca) in 60HH and when I posted a fit check int the ABTF Facebook group ... one comment suggested me to order 60J in the future. So, I got this bra from another user who only tried it on. I was worried that 60J would be too big but a 2HC should fit shallower than a 3HC, so I tried anyway.

The band is snug like a standard 28 band with 3 hooks.

A major difference between this bra and other Comexim bras I have tried is that the side of the cups is really high. The gore height is about 3 inches (higher than my unaltered 60HH 3HC) and it still looks like a plunge bra with a very downward slope from the sides. Luckily I have a low set and a long torso, so this does not bother me. But if you have a high set, short torso or have the problem of bras rubbing in the armpit, this is likely to be an issue. I have tall roots so I fill out the cups fine even though the sides are so tall, so I imagine there will be gaping in someone with short roots or not much upper fullness.

The wires are soft, narrow and follows my IMF closely. The gore is a little bit high and the top does not sit flat due to my close set.

In this 2HC, the outer portion has a much larger area than the inner one. I'm not sure if this is applicable to this particular bra or all unlined 2HC models in Comexim. The fabric is soft and REALLY stretchy, which brings out the most important issue of the fit. I feel like the bra does not give me any lift and support at all. When I lean forward to imitate a supported state, then stand upright, my breasts sinks into the cups. My nipples are placed "low and out" like their natural, unsupported state. This feels more like a wired bralette to me. There are also some wrinkles near the centre and top of the cups.

This collage shows the nipple placement in this bra, an unlined, non-wired bralette (to show my natural, unsupported shape), Comexim Bianca 3HC in 60HH, and Panache Jasmine in 28F. I hope the markup shows clearly how my nipples are more "out and low" in this bra and the bralette but "in and up" in the other bras. You can also view fit pictures of the other bras in my profile.

I have shared my review and the same pictures in the ABTF Facebook group and most comments suggest that this bra is supportive, better fitting and looks more comfortable than the others. Many think my other bras are too small as I have a more visible cleavage in them.

I'm not sure if I'm crazy here. Have I been wearing too small cups the whole time but not know it? I'm not sure what is causing my feeling of not being supported and lifted - are the cups too big or the fabric too stretchy?

To conclude, this bra is likely to work for someone who is at least somewhat projected but not extremely, with more top but little centre fullness, slightly narrow and tall roots, an average to low set with not very soft tissue.

This bra was a gamble. I had wanted to try another soft cup Comexim. While I am not normally a 60, I gathered that this bra was pretty stretchy in the band and might fit closer to a 65.

The bra is a beautiful mix of sheer black and beige mesh with black velvet flowers. It’s a lovely pattern. The cut was intended to be a 3HC but it is, in fact, a 2HC.

While it’s a snug band, I can do it up, but it would be more comfortable with an extender. It’s a 4x3 tape and the extra row helps, as does the taller band. ... The 3 hooks just seems to help distribute the tension better. The straps are actually quite wide, but silky. They adjust long enough for me with average to high set boobs. The strap placement, on the other hand, is quite wide. They are pretty much eating my armpits. The cup height, depth, gore details are all fine except that it’s just not flattering on me. I’m not sure what it is but it’s not good. Is it because it’s a 60 band? Or maybe a 2HC?

Whatever the reason, it’s just not a good match for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
