Just as I was in the process of comparing the sizes on the Comexim Onyks and deciding what size to keep and what size to return to Breakout Bras, I was looking at what I might possibly be able to exchange the return for. And I hit the jackpot with a number of Comexims being put on clearance. HOWEVER, there was not a huge selection available in my current size.

I spotted this Megan in 32E/70F and decided to email the customer service to see if they could enlighten me on how this fits, and I sent a clip of how the 65HH - Comexim » ... Scottie (648) is fitting me currently, as I had confirmed that both of them were the same kind of plunge cut, which is to say that they are even less plunge like than the classic ones are and is probably more like a balconette. I asked about the band and stated that I have historically gone with 70 bands in my Polish bras because they feel more like a 30 band, and the 65 bands are often too tight, despite my snug under bust measurement being closer to 28” (was 28.5” and now is 27.5”) because it is a little bit sensitive. The only 65 bands I have done have been stretchy or with an extender. They basically said that it was definitely not as stretchy as the Onyks, nor as tight as the Basic. So I could probably do a 65 or a 70, only with the latter, it might not be quite snug enough and I might wear through it quicker. But for $21 that was not a problem for me, so I confirmed that I was probably going to be ok with the cup size, although I was nervous because it was 2 cups smaller than what I had been getting. Still, I had to try it out for the price. This would also help me with my sizing and figuring out what to order from Comexim directly, and if I still needed alterations. I grabbed the bottoms in the large because there was no medium and I was concerned about the small being too small, especially for a high waisted style. Easier to alter if too big.

Oh my beautiful humans, I picked right!! Oh my word am I so happy and impressed! I admit that I was not initially super excited about this style until I saw other people review it like Sonya and learned that the stripes were copper and not orange. And I never realized that it had a bit of mesh and lace on the cups as well. As I wear the set, I have to say that I kind of get a 50s sci-fi vibe, and I ain’t mad about it! Ha ha!

I’m currently measuring about a 28F/28FF but 30 bands are usually more comfortable so 30E/F. I have lost a lot of upper fullness with my weight loss, and I didn’t even have much when I was 30F/FF, but it was more than now. I think I am still technically even, but just not very full vertically anywhere. I have soft tissue that is center full and pendulous, and I need narrow cups with lots of immediate depth at the wire to manage my projection. Because of all of this, I am functionally short rooted and fob.

So the fit of the band is actually pretty good. I might have been able to do a 30F/65G but I think I might have needed to use an extender initially. I should note that the straps are not adjusted in the pictures, as I tend to try on as is out of the package initially and then decide if I need to adjust them. In this case I think I might need to cinch them up a touch. They’re comfortable at this length but might be a little bit too loose.

The cups are a great width and depth, and not too tall either. I was advised to size down a little because of my soft tissue, and I think it’s the right decision; I was nervous about it being too shallow at the wire though. I have not worn it long enough yet to see, but I think it’s projected enough at the wire. That said, I think I could probably stand to get a little more depth at the center with perhaps an overlapping gore, and I am curious what the fit would be like if it was 1cm shorter as well.

I’m not sure about the straps. They feel comfortable, and I think they are ok, but looking at the pictures makes me feel like I could probably still have them nudged in a cm still. I’m not sure. I’d prefer to stick with as few alterations as possible.

The bottoms are definitely better in the large vs the small I could have ordered. The leg hole elastic is a little snug as is common for most Comexim bottoms, but it’s a little looser at the waist. I could possibly get them altered and have looser elastic used but I think for $10, I might leave them as is. The medium size is probably the size I needed but it’s a perfectly fine fit as is.

When I was once not a super huge fan of this model, I have completely come around on it. Do you love it as much as I do?

There is no bra that has ever fit me better than Comexims. I am very close set, with less than a skinny finger width between my breasts, slightly FoT, and moderately wide rooted. In most other brands I am currently in the 30D-30DD-32D range, but for Comexim alone it is 30F, so use their fit guide instead of using your standard size if you are new to them.
The shape of their plunge cups is perfect for me, as is the width of the gore, with no wires sitting on my breast tissue and no gapping anywhere. This bra is no exception, and particularly ... pretty. I love that the center bow is a subtle boxy shape that echoes the stripes, the satin shine is pleasingly contrasted with matte mesh and lace, and the overall look comes out very classy and sexy. I never get tired of the interior cotton lining either.
This was my first completely new Comexim, and at first I was concerned the band was too tight, but after a couple of weeks with an extender I was able to drop the extender and it fits snug and firm. I could not be happier with this purchase.

!!! It's so close! I think this is just a case of ordering the wrong size. The wires actually follow my inframammary fold however the cups gape at the top and despite ordering with overlapping wires, the gore is still too wide for me. I also had to try this bra on using the tightest hooks. The straps are too far apart for me and cut into the armpits.
The bra seems really well made and the wires feel like they are made of plastic making them rather comfotable.

This bra's measurements have been altered

overlapping wires

I'm very happy with this bra from Breakout Bras. The band runs pretty tight so I'm wearing it with an extender- it feels too restrictive without, at least for now. It's black with bright copper stripy accents and black lace trim- very petty and matches easily with black undies. I don't feel any irritation (scratchy or itchy spots) like I often due with new bras. The fit is great (just the tiniest hint of quad boob on my larger side and a smidge of strap gap on smaller side). My only complaint is it's in my armpits a bit. And the very best thing about this bra is it seems to have more immediate projection than any Comexim I've had. It sits less than 1/2 inch below my IMF which is really great for me. I'm not sure if all Megans are like this or if I just got lucky.

My first Comexim, with no alterations, worn out of the box for a few hours on the loosest hook:
(side note this shipped in a box slightly bigger than a VHS box, for those people that hate that kind of thing. It did seem to come out fine. It also took about a week of shipping in Poland, then 3 weeks to get through the USPS system although it's during Covid)

Normally I wear about a 34H/HH (if UK bras fit), and about an 80HH in Ewa Mickalak, but I ordered an 80M based off comexim's side chart and my measurements and extrapolating how those numbers would work off the ... chart.
I both love, and am disappointed by this.

I ordered the Megan longline off the website in an 80J (the max cup in that band), but wrote 80M in the comments as their email instructed for getting a custom size. I received an 80M but without the longline, so I assume this is the standard plunge. (I wanted to try a standard to then see what alterations I wanted to try). I dont like that I paid extra and didnt get a longline, so I'd be sure to say that specifically if ordering again.

The straps are too wide- they are 100% in my armpit. I'm not sure how asking that to be altered will effect how the cup sits, but right now the shape is pretty good. It's almost squared off which is odd, as Ewa's seemed triangluar (like the outside was chopped off), and Curvy Kate seems rounder. It's odd how the shapes change so drastically between brands in this size. The shape is defiantly better than most bras for how narrow/omega shaped but projected I am.
The wires are also too wide at the sides. I can fit 3 fingers between the wire and the root of my tissue on the outside of the cup. Im not sure if I can ask for a 75N or 75O to be added on an 80 band, but somehow I need smaller wires.
The band itsself fits pretty well, except for the bottom of the gore. I had a similar issue with my Ewa's where my breasts seems to push the top of the gore out slightly and the bottom of the gore would then dig into my sternum. This bra is doing something similar, but to a lesser degree. Trying to feel where the fabric strains, I think I need more immediate projection at the wire or a narrower gore- I'm not sure which or if I need both. The strain seems to be in the first/middle panel, and none on the outside. I think it's the right volume cup, but more of my tissue is in the middle, while the cup is designed to have more to the outside. (I always have a gap in the outer side bottom of my cups, but strain on the inner bottom. I almost have to do the opposite of Swoop and Scoop to fit in a lot of bras) This really makes me want to try to make a 70 O cup to throw on an 80 band or something similar to see if that would fix a lot of issues. i think a lot of my issues may be solved by the whole cradle of the bra being made narrower, so theres not useless cup on my side, but with a larger band so it fits around me. I just wish I didnt have to sew it or order that from Poland to try that. Also, the gore tacks, but is wide enough it turns slightly sideways inbetween my breasts.

Volume/projection seems ok otherwise. I have slight gapping at the top edge of the cup if I don't swoop and scoop, but it fills in if I remember to do that. I also am -slightly- short rooted for this bra so there's a tiny gap under the strap connection.

It may be my most wearable bra so far, comfort and fit wise. Besides the strap being much to far apart, the fit issues aren't actively irritating after a couple hours wear. Appearance wise, I love the color scheme, Im going to have to get used to the new, boxier, or squared off shape. The lines of lace/copper definately show through a t-shirt which is irrtating and current-me wishes past-me ordered a plainer one, while at the same time loving the copper. (It is a shiney metalic orange similar to a bright copper). The quality seems ok. Really Ewa and Comexim seem compareable to a lot of the mass manufactured people in quality from what I've seen. Comexim makes me nervous that I didnt really get the style I was asking for, but I liked that I didnt have to pay VAT or a paypal merchant fee like Ewa had (both are shadey/illegal?)

I just wish the process of getting and altering them was easier, especially with the stories I've heard and the English/Polish language barrier or whatever seems to make Comexim inconsistant with orders/alterations. Not getting the longline I paid for makes me hesitant to try again. Im also not sure if I order a second bra, would I move the straps in, more intimidate projection by the wire or a smaller gore, narrower wires or a deeper but narrower cup size, or what to do? I'll probably send an email to the reply on how to order the 80M and explain fit issues in English and hope someone over there can speak English enough to help.

{At this point Im looking into sewing my own, even to just play around with ideas before ordering a professionally made thing again, but 34HH cup pattern is hard enough to find. If I have to change cup size to get them narrower but the same volume otherwise- so a 32J or 30JJ but just sticking them close together on a 34 band- that's a lot harder to get a cup pattern for.}

It would be so lovely to just point at a pretty bra and be able to get it in my size. this was sort of my last-hope try without going into alterations, so Im disappointed. At least they do make alterations so that's some new hope? Its easy to get excited about all the lovely patterns and fabrics, but also sort of hard to get excited when my first one was already a little messed up and more alterations I need to ask for means a bigger chance of not getting what I ordered.
