This bra is to die for! Black mesh over a beige background, lashings of floral and scalloped lace, pleated ribbon edging and a gigantic satin center bow. The straps have a slight glossy sheen in the center and gold hardware. It’s romantic, sexy, and a little vintage looking… the quality is excellent and all the details make this bra look more expensive than it really is. I was worried about how the bottoms would fit, as Comexim seems to run on the smaller side and I’m quite paranoid about panties digging into my fleshy sides. However, the matching thong in medium was a good fit on my 36” ... hips, and together with the bra it really makes for a beautiful set!
The fit by all accounts is true to size for a standard 60J. The band felt extremely firm when I first tried it on, but after a couple wears it’s much more comfortable, sitting snug and totally parallel around my back. It has four sets of hooks rather than three, which is a nice option to have as far as extending the lifespan of your bra. The way the ribbon is gathered and stitched along the top of the cup doesn't close it off, the way that the ribbon on Brigitte does, for example. It will show faintly beneath thin, non-opaque shirts, but on the whole it's remarkably smooth beneath heavier t-shirts and dresses.
Like my other unaltered Comexim plunges, I could do with a bit more center projection, or maybe a lowered gore; the gore tacks at the bottom but refuses to touch my sternum at the top. However, when I do press it fully against my chest, there’s no quadding (I’ve included pictures of this for reference https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The black mesh wrinkles just a bit at the sides of the cup on my smaller side where there is just some slight emptiness, but overall the cup volume seems pretty perfect.
