Patricia in 60P with customizations

I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.

Patricia is normally a deep padded plunge bra in a green plaid pattern. The padding is light foam lining without additional/removable pads. I tried it this time in 60P with customizations, but I tried it previously in 65N standard, reviewed separately. This one has two bows at the center gore, one at top and one midway down. There was only one at the top on 65N.

The band measures 21.65” to a max of 28”. I requested an extra set of eye ... loops, so it has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops, normally this size would come with 3 hooks and 3 sets of eyes as standard. The 65N measured 22.75-32” with 3 hooks & 3 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.5”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 14.5”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The height at the center of the cup is 8.5”, and though I requested the cup height to be reduced by 2.5cm, I believe they did about 1cm instead. The 65N measured 12” to 14.5” max, and 8.75” in height.

The straps were requested to be moved in 2.5cm, but based on where they sit, I’m thinking 1.5cm were done instead. This is based on my other Patricia and my other 60P Comexim bras, both with and without the straps moved in.

The center gore is set at .55” and is 3.65” tall. Patricia is usually a deep plunge, and I requested my order to be lowered gore by 2cm where possible, but at 3.65” I know my gore was raised instead, by about 1cm. This is based on the gore height of my other 60P Comexim plunges, as well as my Patricia 65N.

The wing measures 5.65” & the wires 6” from top to top which is the golden number for Comexim’s 60P wires. The 65N measured .5” and 3” tall at gore, wing 5.5” & wires 6.15”.

While the 65N would be a cup smaller than the 60P in comparison with sister sizing, it is clear that the customizations I requested were not done as specified, though exactly how off I cannot say for sure.

The quality is fine, without any notable issues, aside from the customizations not done as specified.

Customizations requested vs. received:
Overlapped center gore wires – Received as requested
Straps moved in 2.5cm – Straps moved in 1.5cm
Additional set of eyes – Received as requested
Reduced cup height 2.5cm – Reduced cup height 1cm
Lowered center gore 2cm if possible - Raised center gore 1 cm

As for fit, unfortunately I got instant quad boob, and since I was at low tide, this one wasn’t wearable at all. The gore sat 2.5 fingers off my sternum and on my breast tissue, which wouldn’t be an issue if they’d lowered the gore as requested. The band is perfectly comfortable.

Overall, I am a bit disappointed that my customizations were not completely honored or brought to my attention beforehand if not doable as requested. Since I was contacted specifically on two of the bras within my order, I was surprised at how much was omitted. Of the four bras I ordered this time, none of them were done as requested which is quite disappointing.
