I ordered this one in a 30KK because it was on clearance for $18 and I couldn’t resist. I figured if nothing else, it would be a great “I don’t want to wear a bra today because my skin screams with sensitivity” bra when I want a bit of support but not the constricting feel of a bra.

Queen of Hearts is a standard Comexim padded plunge. It has black cups and band, with a red cradle and straps. Mine came with just red accents on black straps though, so there appears to be some variations.
I have always been fond of the look of this bra, and ... had it a few years ago in a 65N, so with the super low price, I couldn’t resist trying it again.

As for fit,
The band is what I’d call comfy loose on the tightest hook set. It is wearable and good for a lounge day but not supportive for an active day. Great for tender rib days.

The gore sits 2.5 fingers off the sternum and the cups fit with a swoop n scoop but could stand to be a bit smaller (or to have the straps moved in a bit) since I get a small amount of gore gaping with the slightest slouch. This wouldn’t be noticeable under shirts, but I do slouch a lot, haha, so it will be noticeable to me. I will note that the Magic 28KK I also ordered measures larger in depth but shorter in cup and gore height, and I have center spillage and minor quadding with that one. I’m not sure if it’s just the wider set straps on this one or if the cup/gore height needs to be between the two for a better fit. I may move the straps in on this one at some point and see if that lessens the cup resistance.

And for the technical aspects:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 23.75” and stretches to a max of 34” with little effort. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.
This makes this one much more of a 34 band than a 30 band which is quite surprising. I wonder if this was a former return that may have been worn a few times before returning.

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: 15”

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.


Overall, I am happy I ordered this one. It will be a comfort bra for one of my sensitive days which occur more often lately.

2. I ordered Queen of Hearts in 65P with reduced cups, straps moved in 3cm, gore reduced to 6cm, narrowed, and overlapping; 3x4 hooks, and cookie pockets.
Appearance: I really like the look of this bra. It's simple enough to wear every day, but it could also be used as a special occasion bra. This bra also has the same silky smooth material instead of the cotton, but the inside and the outside of the cup are soft. The contrast btwn the gore and the wings is a nice touch and I would love the bows if they were centred correctly. If you're like me you have just a ... touch of OCD this will drive you insane and takes away from the look of the bra. Other than that I do love the look of this bra.
Fit: same issue of almost a perfect fit. The band is great on the first set of hooks, gore is flat, and the cup height is perfect. The only issue is slight quads near the gore about 4mm worth. Out of the 3 this quads the most it isn't a big deal for me I can go up a size but the low gore with my center fullness will mostly always do this. If I go up a size there will be more gapping at the straps so I can choose to be bothered with this or keep the perfectly fitting cups.

Panties: I got the matching set in a L figi like the picture I will start ordering XL for my 44" hips because I gained 2" as well as asking for higher waisted bottoms. They are beautiful though.
