Very short, projected, slightly narrow, even, close set breasts.....
My breasts have been....maddening to fit. Jaimie at Bra Obsessed recommended the Eve full cup for my shorties, and sent Anna at Comexim the width (5.6") and depth (10.5") I required. Comexim skillfully crafted an Eve with those measurements: INCREDIBLE customer service.
"Soft" is the first word that comes to mind when I wear Eve. The material is similar to the fabric used in the Ivonne balcony. It drapes well and simultaneously supports. Eve also has the most stretchy Comexim straps I've experienced, to date. Although they are delightfully comfortable, I would happily embrace more rigid straps. That, however, would ... compromise the aesthetic of this bra. Again, I strongly prefer Comexim's choice of materials over Panache, Cleo, Freya, and Curvy Kate. If you have sensitive skin and/or sensory issues with the aforementioned brands, Comexim unlined bras may be a welcome relief to your skin and mind. Eve is supremely comfortable.
For some reason, I feel like a princess in this bra. The embroidery dances across the fabric in a simply elegant manner. It is perfect for me who appreciates minimalistic designs. And although my wardrobe is very simple, I happily add more interest in my "bradrobe."
Cup height is always a challenge for me. In this bra, moving the apex 1 cm lower or reducing the cup height may improve the fit significantly. That little shift will increase lift and eliminate the wrinkles in the top of the cup. I don't know yet if I am courageous enough to complete this alteration myself. But, it looks more simple than removing 1/3 of my 65K Eris plunge. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> After watching 2hours of bra making videos, lowering the strap would be helpful. Lowering the strap two inches forces the pattern maker to reduce the cup height accordingly. This would liberate my armpits and eliminate the wrinkles.
The overlapping gore alteration is critical to my comfort. Additionally, I now understand I require the narrowed gore. My right breast, that often looks dwarfed compared to the left, is more center-full. Without a narrowed and overlapped gore, the wire tethers the right breast. Not only does this cause a burning sensation, but it also creates false asymmetry. It is entirely possible my breasts sit 1/4" off-center, too. Strange.
My next Eve (there will be another Eve https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> ) will have narrowed gore, overlapping gore (preferably the right cup wire is placed furthest from the body during the alteration), and straps lowered 1.5"-2".
Comexim unlined receive enthusiastic recommendations from me! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
