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?
