This is my first Comexim bra. Ordering from Comexim was intimidating, so I ordered through Sophisticated Pair. Erica had me try on another bra first so we could determine sizing before placing a custom order. The Charme is a beautiful bra, with nice lace and ribbon detailing. On the manufacturer's website, the bra looks darker, but in person, you see the nude color under the mesh more clearly.
Me: Close-set breasts with wide roots. I'm somewhat even, but slightly FOB. Half-cup bras work best for me.
The band length will be an issue because I'm wearing it on the tightest hook and it's brand new. But Comexim is not ... always consistent with sizing on their custom bras, so it's hard to say if the issue is the 40/90 band or if the issue is that they just didn't make the bra to the set specifications (which Comexim is apparently notorious for).
Sophisticated Pair is able to order a wider size range of Comexim bras, which was one of the reasons I chose to order through them. I tried on the "Stiff Capuccino" bra in 40G before I got this one and we decided to go with the 40H with a reduced cup and to move in the straps for my sloped shoulders. I definitely have to "swoop and scoop" with the bra because the cups are too big if I don't fully pull all of my breast tissue forward.
The bra gives a nice, rounded shape, similar to my Freya bras, but the Comexim has a much better tack and it's much more comfortable than my Cleo Marcie and Cleo Blake, which have great projection, but have high U shaped wires that press a little too firmly. The Charme is definitely a bra you need to wear with a thick shirt/dress or camisole as the pleating, lace, and seams will show through most clothes.
I wish Comexim wasn't so hard to order from. I like the bra overall and I would consider getting another Comexim bra if the process of ordering wasn't so difficult. Sophisticated Pair has cut back on ordering from Comexim due to too many errors with the custom orders.
If you fit within the standard Comexim sizing and don't need a custom size, then the Charme is a lovely bra if you want a sexy, sophisticated bra with a hint of a burlesque look.
