She's upper roomy, and bottom clingy, Clara is. One for the super projected and small of root. Perhaps also, the high set and certainly the center full!

Well the bra angels have heard our annual pleas, and Breakout put out a bunch of Comexims down on clearance. For some stupid reason I've been sticking it out with the same main 3 that mostly fit the last half year instead of size up like sane persons do. Once the call came out about a sale in my size range, I swept in on this one with the reckless stupid abandon usually reserved for impulsive children and starving dogs. ... Finally something well and truly stunning! In time for new years! Do I dare assume to be fancy? Would 2023 herald my return to human decency??? Yes, it was decided. Time to be foolhardy.

Who needs to double check how sizes run? Nay not I, and thus caution was thrown way to the side. Take my money, Breakout! Woohoo, visions of classy livid lace danced before my greedy eyes as I snagged the matching undies knowing the thin line of certain disaster my wide, short derriere was dead set on flirting with. What could possibly go wrong with a figure made entirely of contradictory parts? Which rarely if anything, ever fits?
And then suddenly as my fever began, for a piddling meager couple of days I fretted over my folly. Ugh I shouldn't have bought something sight unseen when cups virtually always run tight and tall. Gods help me what if a 60 is too loose? Luckily when Clara came to me I was ready for something, anything, lower cut than eyeball high Panaches which have sufficed and sawed into my armpits for time being.

Out of this recent batch in 60L the Clara feels deeper at the very apex while measuring the same depth as my other new comexims. It's wide but satiny straps are set about average width, sewn to the upper band 8" from the gore. Thankfully there is just enough for my tall shoulders, but just so. The plastic slider is silent but probably prone to adjusting itself too easily. Clara's high quality stretch mesh band is secure on the first hook which for 28 feels impressive, thought I worry with favortism this could wear down faster as this does a basic stretch of 27, and can stretch up to 29ish long. I can very much appreciate that the elastic and mesh are cut to the same amount of give in the band. Because a lot of reputable brands don't bother so the band both digs while riding up, further allowing the cups to tilt to all hell. Tsk tsk.

I've done a lot of hard time in too-tall underwires, where there's no dignity in the red marks left on my sternum and the nasty stabby fat bulging at the armpit (gorsenia u shits give us a decent plunge!). Honestly a very tall wire on the outside always floats up over my side fullness and fiercely aggravates something like lymph, or heaven forbid breast tissue that goes all the way to my shoulder blades. Such is the curse of having a wide flat thin ribcage. Well the wires on Clara should be just big enough to let me seep over them but the cups contain me on the sides fully, and not dig into my under arm or tail of spence either, hence the wires in this style sit firmly and gently along my IMF instead of shanking me in the side like they got beef.

Gore is just narrow enough to tolerate being 2.7" tall, there's plenty of space at my inner lower breast (for now, ominous dum da da dum drum roll). Yes I should've expected an even bigger cup in the same style that wasn't awful before on me, would tolerate my heavy side boob and not squash my lower front breast to bits. But I've been tricked before and learned not to trust anything. Welcome to my world where it usually happens no matter how round and spacious a cup is rumored to fit, anyways. Clara proving herself short deep and voluminous here may mean disaster for the taller and narrow, this could might be a cup that fits too loose starting at about half or 3/4 inch out from the wire.

I guess all that's left to fuss over is the potential for the inner cup lining to be coarser than I like. Even though it's a very fine cotton knit over thin foam, that does quite well with breathing and breaking in softer. And of course keeping this pretty lace from snagging. It's sturdy but stretchy, and as all things fine and pretty prone to catching on stray trinkets at inopportune moments.

[Azula voice] It's okay, you can laugh! It's funny.

I ordered this plunge bra with 1cm reduced cup height, moved in straps, an overlapped gore, and cookie pockets. I have a 60K Comexim Ingrid Plunge that fits me like a Comexim 60HH because I ordered it with 2cm reduced cup height, so I thought a lower cup height reduction might compensate for my short roots without making the cups fit significantly smaller. In retrospect, I just have to laugh. This bra has so much room at the top of the cup it's absurd. For fun, I decided to try to fit a pair of socks in the top of ... the cup on my smaller side and they fit just fine -- a pair of socks is pretty much what I would need to use to make this bra fit me. I have even vertical fullness but short roots and somewhat low-set boobs, so tall, open on top cups like these are just a nightmare.

I'm wide set but somehow have enough tissue at the inner parts of my boobs (wording??) to make Comexim gores consistently twist on me. One side, usually the left side, of the gore will sit flat, while the other side will stick out perpendicular to my chest. This isn't really a comfort issue, but it makes for a weird appearance. I get the gores of my Comexim bras overlapped to try and compensate for how high and stabby they are, which does help with comfort but not completely.

This bra is stunning and I love the "C" charm at the gore. I think they ran out of this fabric, so I can't find the bra on their website anymore, but it seems to still be available on Breakout Bras. Aside from the top of the cups and the gore, it's fairly projected and plenty narrow, and the band is TTS for a Comexim 60. I may bring this to a tailor to see if they can just nip in the top of the cup somehow, because I'm so annoyed that yet another Comexim order is a writeoff for me. I would also be happy to sell if anyone is interested. This bra would probably fit an even to full on top UK 28GG/26H or so with normal to tall roots.

Clara, Clara, Clara….so much to say about you, and so much love for you.

Clara is extremely beautiful, and quite nostalgic for me actually. My first Comexim was a Victoria 3HC which exhibits a similar vibe with the navy lace and beige lining. While the Victoria was accentuated with eyelash lace details and the band in the shimmery beige, Clara maintains the navy band, and is accented with the scalloped lace over the cup edge. Personally, this is way more my aesthetic as I never felt too strongly about eyelash lace. This is overall a more navy lace bra than Victoria. Admittedly, while I have adored Clara since ... her reveal, she means even more to me now as I am in Pilates teacher training, and Clara was the name of Joseph Pilates’ wife.

This is the first 70G plunge from Comexim that I have tried, as I was 65HH for a while, lost weight and was a 70F (barely), and now with some weight gain back, I am on the edge of the 70G. For Clara, the G is adequate, as it is a little bit roomier than the other 70G I got. This one has a noticeably taller gore, which is a bit twisty…not the end of the world, but it’s floating as a result. This one has 4 columns of hooks and is perfect. The cup height is pretty spot on, and while I have a little gapping on my small side, it’s by the gore…so if it sat more flush or was shorter, I imagine that would be resolved. Straps are ok, but I would like to have them moved in still. Cup width is right at my root edge. A cup size larger would be too tall, but gained a bit more side coverage, but I followed the sizing suggestions from Breakout Bras to go one size up for soft tissue. This means that it is a little bit less side coverage. The only way to fix this is to customize the fit, but it’s still quite sufficient for an unaltered bra. I really love love love this bra. It makes me want to do a boudoir photo shoot.

I debated what size bottoms to get, and I chose the medium. The medium fits but having tried the next bra I got in medium and large, the larger size is a bit more comfortable with more rear coverage. They are both good, just different.

This is my second attempt at purchasing Comexim through Breakout Bras and it was quite an adventure. The bra was initially shipped with the wrong tracking number, then lost in transit, and finally arrived with one wire slightly bent which gave the whole bra a quizzical expression.

Once these issues were dealt with though, the Clara has been a fantastic experience. The bra is beautiful and comfortable, and the gore came overlapped as standard without being requested. The scalloped edging is a nice detail, and I’d love to see this on other styles in the future.

My only real criticism is that the interior uses a different kind of seam covering than my other Comexims and this one is a bit coarser. It is definitely not as soft and smooth inside as my other plunges. The band does also seem stretchier than some Comexims, so that’s something to be aware of. Overall though, I would recommend.

I took the opportunity to try this bra; but unfortunately it does not fit well, largely due to the big band. This is a 34FF Comexim Clara plunge that I got in great preowned condition. I love the Navy blue lace overlay, which feels less harsh against my pale skin than black does, and the color and design almost reminds me of my Victoria 2HC. I chanced getting this bra even though I wear a smaller band, because it was reasonably priced and I have some very short firm Comexim bra bands, one I wear with an extender. I normally wear 28, 30, and some 32 bands, so ... I thought this 34FF comexim plunge might work on a tighter set of hooks. I was also curious about how the cups scale in a larger band. This bra was preowned with very light wear in great condition, with no signs of the elastic being pulled or damaged. It is one of the stretchiest Comexim bands I’ve ever had. It easily stretches to at least 42 inches and maximally at 44inches+ before I feel worried about deforming the elastic. The oversized band (for my body) causes the classic issue of the band riding up significantly and over tightening the straps, and which slightly impacts the fit of the cups. The gore also does not tack against my sternum. The tagged size is 34FF so I believe this is from Breakout Bras or another boutique, rather than directly from Comexim. The volume of the cups isn’t too off for my bust size and the cups aren’t too wide, maybe a little shallow at the bottom. I have some other Comexim plunges tagged similarly in their “UK” sizing, my best fitting comexim plunges are a 28GG, 28H, and a 30G bikini top (although the 30G and 28GG are definitely small in the cups, the 28H may also be small but slightly small with other small fit issues). I wear a larger cup size in the half cups and I’ve noticed an issue where if I size up appropriately in cups they end up being too tall and a bit too wide. I’m asymmetrical and prefer to fit to my smaller side. The plunges may not have enough projection where I need either, I’m very center full when supported with fairly soft tissue. My issue with their plunges extends to other bra brands and other clothing items with a deep plunging necklines, often V neck plunge tops don’t sit “taut” on me, I believe it’s because I am very short statured with a short torso with narrow shoulders, overall petite. I’ve liked some of my Comexim 3HCs and hope to try more of them, and more styles of Ewa Michalak bras. I like this bra and would be interested in trying it in another size with a smaller band. And hope to get more similar looking bras. I think there bands vary quite a bit; but this one seems very stretchy.
