Comexim Fun box try on #3

*************************

I recently got a 65J Belen 3HC which is beautiful, but not a perfect fit. While the bra band was a bit snug, the cups did fit, but were a little bit too tall for my functionally short roots. So Wilderness1 was super kind and generous to offered to send me a bunch of her altered Comexims to try. Looking at the list, some looked like they were going to be too small, and some looked like they had similar enough measurements and alterations, so I narrowed it down to 4 bras, including this one. It’s the same size as the Belen ... but with the straps moved in, a reduced cup height, and an overlapping gore. This was the ideal test.

This is one beautiful bra! It’s one that I had wanted for a long time but never got the nerve to try it when I had a little spare money. The colour is like creamed honey - a warm, creamy slightly beige ivory colour. I like that it is a simple lace with one bow at the center, and slightly satiny straps. The lace is scalloped over the edge of the cups and adds a delicate and look.

Now unlike the two previous reviews of the box of joy, the band on this was a perfect fit, as is, on the loosest hooks. But it’s not new, and I’m pretty sure that it was pretty tight brand new. I’m sure I would have needed a 70 in this one brand new. I was warned that it was a tight band. The straps are moved in and it makes my armpits happy. I’m pretty sure that this is going to be a consistent alteration for me. I’m not sure if I noticed anything different with the gore fit on this one.

As for cup height, which was the biggest thing I wanted to try, it was pretty good. It’s 1-1.5cm from what I understand. With the lovely scalloped lace reaching just slightly beyond the edge of cups, the height is about the same when I overlaid this one over top of the Belen while wearing. Folding the lace back, there’s a small amount of difference, but it’s lowered for sure. Is it low enough? I’m not sure. I still have some cup edge showing through my thin shirt. Is it from the lace or the height still? Nevertheless, the volume looks to be about right and it looks good on. One thing to note is that I received the box of excitement the week before my period, and I sent it back to her before I could try anything other than the Lady Grey (which I purchased from the box) with post period boobs.

My breasts are even, with tallish but shallow and narrowish roots, but combined with being soft and projected, they are functionally short and fob. This bra, with alterations, seems to accommodate me pretty well. As this is worn regularly by the owner, it was not available for sale like the Beauty and Lady Grey. So sad since it felt so good on. I’m toying with getting a Ginger made into a 3HC to be similar to this. But it’s not a top priority as there’s other styles that I am interested in on the site. But Ginger is pretty cheap, so maybe one day, if I can guarantee that it will be narrow and deep enough.

For now, knowing how this fits with the alterations is hugely helpful to me as I look at ordering something soon.

This perhaps the prettiest bra I have ever owned. It the lace is so gorgeous and a lovely pale cream. I feel like snow white wearing it.

The materials on the bra are top quality. The band is made from very soft, silky powermesh and has a very smoothing effect. It is a firm 28 band - my favourite. The straps are wide and really comfortable. The gore is low and narrow. The wires are narrow and not too firm, and the cups have good immediate projection. The bra has all the ingredients of a perfect bra.

This bra is really comfortable - it is almost unnoticeable. ... I do have some quadding in the bra, so it is technically too small, but it feels comfortable enough to continue to wear. This bra is so pretty that I am debating ordering it in a 60L with a reduced cup height. This bra came to me from Sonya who found it to be too small. She has since had some luck with 60Ls - so I am very tempted!

My shape is low set, even to FOB, narrow and short rooted, and soft.

This is the newer version of the 3 part half cup. I think they've run out of material for this bra now, but they had enough to make this one. I got it with an overlapping gore, straps moved in 1 cm, and cups reduced in height. The gore is overlapped, and I'm pretty sure the straps were moved in, but I can't tell if the cups were reduced in height. My nipples aren't that far below the cup edge, so if they weren't reduced, it's probably for the best as it would have been ... too short. Guess I probably don't need that alteration. My Comexim Natalie Half Cup (491) was made with a lower gore and it fits great, which is why I wanted to try a shortened cup. I'll skip this alteration altogether next time. I'm at low low tide right now too, so if things swell, I hope the cups still fit? I did a jumping test, and nothing popped out, so I guess it fits just right at the moment. Not that I jump around a lot in my average day, but you know....

This bra is very pretty in person; a nice cream coloured bra with pretty lace (my first beige bra). Unfortunately, the lace doesn't go all the way around to the back of the bra like my 65J - Comexim » Natalie Half Cup (491), but it's fine. The lace along the cup edges is scalloped and comes above the cup itself, so it sort of floats next to the breast. It's nice but I prefer cups with a trim that lays flat as I'm so short rooted. I could see this bra working for both short and tall roots though just because of it's construction. I tried it on with a tank top, and you can see minor signs of lace showing through from the cups. I imagine with a tighter or smoother material, you'd see the cups through... not a problem for me since I wear looser clothes. The colour works well as a nude though, and I couldn't see it through the white parts of my tank. There's a cream bow on the gore, and the nice wide straps have a nice pattern along the outer edges that gives them something extra. Straps are almost all the way extended out on my tall frame (just long enough). The cup shape is nice and rounded, but a touch wider than I need. No matter, as my squishy breasts fill out the space anyways. The band is snug for a 65 cm band, which is perfect for me, as I like my bands to fit 28-29" (I got 28.3" stretched until the cups started distorting). The band is nice and wide, with 4 sets of 3 hooks.

Edited to add: Even though I'm definitely a sub-30" rib cage, one of the hooks came right out the first time I tried this on, and one of the eyes is a bit loose. I've never had that happen before on a Comexim bra, so it surprized me. It didn't feel like I was over extending the band or anything, so I think they were just sewn in loose or something. Weird!

As usual, it's very comfortable right out of the box. It's one of my favourite things about Comexim... always comfy. I've only tried it on so far, but so far, overall, high quality, excellent comfort, and great appearance.

This is a beautiful bra. The cotton cookie pockets are wonderfully soft and the cups aren't too tall. The straps are comfortable and easy to adjust and have been moved in so they aren't eating my arm pits. This bra has 3 hooks per row as well as 4 column of hooks. The band is nicely snug, stretching to 26.5". Overall, it's really well made and comfortable. Sadly, it's too small for me. The lace is somewhat visible through a thin shirt.

I still lack a lot of bra knowledge and I haven't figured out why my experiences with Comexim 3hcs are as they are. In Panache/Ewa Michalak I wear 30G and based on the huge quadding I get in Comexim 65J, I should be wearing 65K or even 65L. But my 65K Miss Bee-Have has issues with the wires digging in and riding down, while my two 65Js (as silly as they look on me) are incredibly comfortable. I'm hoping when I figure out the right alterations, I'll be able to order a 65K or 65L that fits!

For the time being, I'm happy to get more 65Js. I swapped ... with Wilderness1 who had ordered it with the following alterations: overlapped gore, straps moved in 1cm, and reduced cup height. I took some pictures of it with my 65J Irish Coffee to show the difference.

As you can see the gore and cups on this Honey Cookie are about 1cm shorter. I couldn't tell a difference between narrowness of the gores, but having a lower gore really helped me. I'm close set and center full, so I benefited from more room in the middle and the gore was surprisingly close to tacking. I can't visually tell a difference with the strap placement, but I can tell it in how the bra fits. Especially with my Miss Bee-Have, the straps are on the very edge of my shoulders, always have to be put back on, and are always loosening themselves somehow. The Honey Cookie straps feel much more secure!

Though it doesn't technically fit, 10/10 comfortable bra and I got to try these alterations!
