So this bra is not as much of a sh*tshow as my new Comexim Clara. It's a cup size up from my secondhand 60J Scottie Half Cup that's now way too small in the cup. I asked for the straps to be moved inward and the gore to be overlapped, which they did. I think this fabric is so fun and cheery! I bought the matching Figi in size S, which fits my ~23.5" waist and ~37" hips fairly well but isn't as flattering as the matching bottoms for my Lilly.
When I first put this bra on, I was kind of mystified. The effect is much less dramatic ... in photos, but in person, it kind of looks like I'm wearing two different halves of the same bra. This type of bra really does not work well for my asymmetry; I get a little bit of quadding on my bigger side, gapping on my smaller side, and the gore twists so that only the part of it on my smaller side sits flat against my sternum, making the bow nearly invisible. Putting cookies in Comexim bras usually doesn't help me because the cookie just pushes the bra further away from my body instead of functioning to fill the cup more, worsening the problem. The cup wrinkles where it meets the strap, I think because of my lack of upper fullness, and there's also wrinkling at some other (kind of random) spots on the bra. This bra is wearable and very cute, but not particularly comfortable and the mediocre fit doesn't really flatter me.

I honestly think they hired someone new which did not know how to overlap the gore properly - I'm getting the twisty gore thing on both of the bras in my BF orders - 60L - Comexim » Basic Half Cup and 60K - Comexim » Clara Half Cup . I've never had this issue with Comexim before and I've ordered from them quite a few times. I tried taking apart and then re-overlapping the gore on the Basic and it got better. I'm thinking of sending Joanna an email about this, since looks like I'm not alone! Maybe they need some overlapping gore training for the new hire lol.
