Bought from Breakout Bras, hence the UK sizing. The 34 is a bit too loose on me though and the cups gape just slightly at the top.

Very nice, soft yet stable t-shirt quality bra.
Cup is 3 part cut & sewn foam with a narrow 3/8" lace strip sewn to the upper hem, outer facing is soft stretchy mesh & inner lining very fine breathable cotton. Underwires overlap at gore, are wonderfully short, gore super narrow & under 2" tall.
Cant tell if this is meant to give a lot of cleavage or not, slight less space in the inner cup, and more along the outer which others may find allows their breasts to be pushed backward into the armpit as it's not very 'side support-y', but happens to work great for my basic nothing flashy support needs (most of the month, when hormonally fluxing nothing comexim works).

This was a freebie from Comexim as I had previously ordered it and it was waaaayyyy too shallow. It was a lovely suprise when I opened my next delivery to find it inside. It had been given the same alterations as the rest of my order so this time it fits perfectly. The extra cup depth seems to have made a massive difference to the fit.
Its a great everyday soft foam bra and it has a pretty trim to perk it up a bit.
The fit is perfect for my centre full and full on top boobs.
Love it

This bra was ordered directly from Comexim. I chose "55G" because I own 2 Basic 3HC from Breakout Bras whose tags say "26F". I asked Joanna what size I should order if the 26F fits perfectly, and she said it's equivalent to their 55G.
My shape is somewhat projected. I have narrow, short roots. I'm functionally full on bottom and center full.
The gore dug into my sternum for the first few wears. It doesn't anymore after breaking it in and it is extremely comfortable now.
It's the perfect bra for me. The underwire perfectly encompasses my breasts.

I was intrigued by the Mimi style but knew that the 2HC version didn't work for me, so I ordered them in my 3HC customizations. I had asked for the straps to be moved in another 2 cm but I don't think this was done, however these seem to fit pretty well and are comfortable around the armhole, so this is not too much of a concern.
Requested customizations:
- Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction
- Cup depth: add 1.5 cm to center of cup, total depth 21 cm
- Cup height: Reduce 1.5 cm, total height 12 cm
- Gore: Reduce 1.5 cm to keep ... original cup shape
- Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm
Both my Beige and Black Mimi 3HCs fit wonderfully. The 3HC shape is a little shallow on me and the cup is a tad short at 12 cm (I keep asking for 12.5 cm but end up getting 12 . . .), so it has a slight minimizing effect from the side profile while I could use a little more cup coverage, but overall I like the versatility of this silhouette when I want something with a lower neckline and less visible seams than the Plunge fit, which is my preference. I love that Mimi comes in the same lightweight mesh that I love from Ingrid and Pearl Flower Mint, but in a solid! Mimi and Elena are almost the same style, so if you request them in the same fit, the main difference will be that Mimi has lace trim at the upper cup and Elena does not. However, trims are the same on both styles. I also only requested one bow on the center gore of Mimi instead of the double bow shown in the picture.
The two Mimi 3HCs are identical to each other in fit despite small differences in measurement. Strap placement is confusing-- when worn, the straps are set in closer than the Rose Half Cup from my most recent order, but the same as the Pearl Flower Mint 3HC. When comparing the Mimi bras against these two styles on the flat, it does look like the outer cup is reduced under the arm. I can't tell if this is an intentional change or if the shape of the underwires used is slightly different.

This bra runs small in the cup, probably about 1 and half cup sizes small, so size up. Comfortable bra, great for FOT, short root breasts like mine.

I like this bra. I think I need an extender but the cup size and shape seems like the best so far. Pa bra extender if 1/2 inch is a magical difference. Super happy with this bra with the extender. It's a small difference but makes a huge difference in comfort

Very Pretty and comfortable. It is however very shallow in the cups. I ordered a 60L and a 60M arrived. Even with the extra cup up, I am spilling out and quadding quite a bit. Its a shame as its a lovely bra. Perhaps as its a 2hc and not a3hc like I thought, this is why it is so shallow. The wire is fine though and the band also.

I would say the Mimi fits a cup size smaller than most Comexim half cups, so this fits more like a 60L/28HH. I like this bra but I get a better fit in the plunges. The half cups are more wide and shallow so I get a bustier look from the front and more flattened look from the side.
