Well, this is new! Comexim sent me a bra with a UK size on the label! I ordered size 55J, which according to Comexim is a 26GG. That seems in line with Breakout Bras sizing, which advises to go 2 cups up from your UK size for a technically proper fit. I am a 26FF, so this fits like a 26FF.
I ordered this on Feb 13 2021 during the V-day sale, and it arrived today (March 2, 2021). Has anyone else ordered during this time period and noticed a UK size on the label?
I also notice a difference in the appearance of this bra! It has scalloping ... on the edges like in the pictures, but I’ve seen Erises come without scalloping. They also put the cutest little silver “C” charm on top of the center gore bow! Love it! I expected this to be a homely looking thing, being one of Comexim’s older models. To my surprise, my Eris really looks fresh and luxurious! The pictures do not do her justice!
So, I really should have reduced the cup height. The only alterations I asked for were added cookie pockets and straps moved in. I have no idea whether they not they moved the straps in, but I have reason to think they did. I always thought I had such narrow, sloping shoulders when my shoulders are actually the opposite: level and fairly broad for my frame. Moving the straps in may have caused the gapping near the center gore, because when I move them further out, the gapping largely goes away.
I’ll be honest I don’t like the way this looks on me. Don’t get me wrong, it looks GREAT under shirts, and I think I’ll come to like it because of its functionality. It’s just… ya know… too full coverage. The cups truly are much higher than my 55HH, and they are the absolute highest they can be on me. The cups literally cover ALL of my breast tissue; it’s just skin right above the cup. I do have tall roots but, being a ski slope shape, my tissue gets very shallow up top. Thus, reducing the cup height of a 55J plunge will be a smart choice for me from now on.
And yes, this does have gapping near the center gore. It could be caused by a number of things. 1) my shallow tissue doesn’t fill the cups up there 2) the center gore is way too narrow for my very wide set breasts. Any input would be much appreciated! I think it’s most likely reason 2. I also get gapping in my 55HH unaltered Charme plunge, but quadding as you go toward the straps. It’s a rather strange fit on my Charme, lol! Anyways, I think Comexim plunges just have too narrow a gore for me. The 3HCs and KH gores are the right width for me, and they are far wider.
I also got the matching panties! They’re adorable and so well-fitting. I got them in size S. My hips and butt are fairly small, measuring in proportion to my bust (34”). Actually they’re not so small, I just have hip dips and a butt that loves gravity a bit too much 😂 Strangely, my Charme and Spring panties don’t really fit my butt so well (I get bunching) but these do. Same size. Usually I get a size M in panties even though I’m so petite because I’ll get the coverage I desire. Anyways, I’m super happy about my new underwear! Although the bra is too full-coverage, the undies are the best fitting I’ve had in my whole life!
Overall, I think I’ll keep this one. The gapping at the gore is fairly negligible and the wires are comfy. I do find the band material at the back to be kind of itchy, but I’m hoping I’ll get used to it.
Pics to follow!

oohh, I think this looks great on you! But yeah, I guess maybe requesting "reduced cup height" next time? This bra blogger (and Instagrammer) likes less full coverage bras too and she requests reduced cup height in Comexim https://mythoughtsonbras.blogspot.com/search/label/Comexim like for this bra https://mythoughtsonbras.blogspot.com/2016/09/comexim-small-quail-70g.html
