I just got this bra in and it looks just how I expected. One thing I'll mention (after trying both this and the longline version) is that if you may want to size up in the band, especially if you're on the cusp of two. It is by far the tightest band that I own (likely due to the fact that the whole front doesn't stretch). Or if you own an extender or two you'll probably have to break one of those out

This bra's measurements have been altered

Altered straps, cookie pockets, raised gore, reduced cup height

• Do comexim bras tend to have fronts that stretch ? Just curious I haven't had any bras that were unstablized in the front but have a bra sewing pattern that calls for a totally unstablized front that made me go hmm how will this possibly give support with such a flexible band.

• Ivp I guess maybe they're not stretchy per se, but they front is generally made out of a mesh which has a little bit of give even if its not stretchy. The Florence is made out of a stiffer fabric which has no give at all.

  Although now that you've asked and I've examined the bras more closely, that seems to be the biggest difference between the regular bras and the longlines. On the regular bras, the front section is made from a nonstretch mesh and only the side band part is a stretch mesh. The longlines use the band stretch mesh even in the front section (and those seem to offer very little support)

  Interesting , I found the one ewa bra I have has a lot of movement (not stretch ) too and it took some getting used to but I kinda like it as I am finding my ribs don't hurt on the days I wear it but so much more jiggle . I honestly like the comexim design aesthetic more so have been trying to figure out the difference between the too structure wise . Your review and description helps a lot we are in a similar size range that there are very few details on bras . So thanks hooray !!

  stable mesh I know what that is :)

  Ivp I love how my EM bras look but they kill my ribs lol. I have a flared rib cage and they seem to have pretty wide underwire channels (at least the padded models) which are a little uncomfortable to wear.

• I just got mine in the same size and it stretches much farther than yours! I remember you warning me how tight yours was, so I thought I'd let you know how mine turned out. I did get 3x4 hooks, so that does add a tiny bit of length.

  @Kermitdafrog you mean bras are not supposed to kill your ribs? Every bra I own kills my ribs with the exception of my sf . I have permanent trigger points I think at my sternum, underwire lines and along my right ribs .. my daily routine in the morning is massage the trigger points away so a can put on the bra of the day. Went to physical therapy for myofacial Release all along those areas last year ..
  All my bras have those wide channeling, ewa's Gore is wide at the bottom for me as in too splayed. Have you looked at trigger point release in those areas to see if you can increase comfort? You can do self release you don't need someone else to massage your chest .. me I have no modesty left I had a messed up tense body everywhere boobs was nothing but it does help so much with the comfort of the bra .

  BumbleBean Mine also has a 3x4 hook. I've noticed with my more recent orders from them that the bands have been much more true to size, so maybe yours is just following this trend!

  Ivp My Comexim ones usually aren't too bad lol, its basically just my EM bras

  BumbleBean Also, I just looked at the pics. The front fabric on mine extends out farther than the front fabric on yours, so I'd guess that's a factor too since that part doesn't stretch
