Well this one seems to be not too bad, band is nice and slightly tighter as its should be in 75. Cups are making small quadboobs although is not bad. Gonna keep it for now until will get new one in good size
I don't know what I was thinking when I was buying this bra. How 70F can fit into 75C?https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />. Well it looks okay until I put my brests properly in it. Shame, as its so pretty (even bought for my mom the same as she loves it but was too small as well..). Would definitely buy it in my size !
I am pretty sure Comexims sizing is different than european and US sizing anyways, so you have to learn your comexim size separately from other sizes
it is, normally I wear 32D/DD. I have nicely fitting 70F - Comexim » Carmelita in 70F, but as there are different cuts, models, years of production was worth to try, although since now probably i will stick to 70F. Probably next try i will give o Ingrid and this with eyelashes :)
What can I say. As its Comexim is really nice and high quality. Bra is nice and soft in touch, straps are best of all brands that's own. Unfortunately is too small in cups. I need to have 70F.
I ordered this 70HH bra together with a 75HH, and the latter is definitely my size. This one is too small for me, so I'll list it. I would say size wise this 70HH comparable to a UK 30FF/G.
It is a gorgeous bra in a soft, creamy, peachy nude with a copper and deep green floral print. It has a bit of a vintag-y, romantic look, and I think it should be a staple in every red headed woman's bra collection, as the coloring really makes me think of English rose type beauties https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />. It also works well on my pale ivory toned skin as a nude.
The bra is very well made, and feels and looks luxurious. The bra is very lightly padded, and provides a fantastically uplifted and round shape. It also gives great cleavage!
I wear around a 32F/FF. I got this bra in a 70H, which is supposedly a 32FF (according to Wellfitting.com). Really this bra runs a band size small (30) and maybe a half to a full cup size small as well. Ideally I probably need it in a 75H. It's more difficult to say if this bra is small in the cup for me, or if it's just because of the shape, since my tissue is so soft it just falls to the center.
So I will certainly be buying 75/34 bands from now on from Comexim, as both 70's I've had have only stretched ...to a 30. This bra is definitely more comfortable with an extender. As for the cups, I am spilling out of them a bit. I'm not entirely sure if this is because of the cut and/or gore and my very soft tissue, or if the cups really are too small. The wings are gloriously low, no jabbing into my armpit at all. I adore the three hook band and so desperately wish my Cleo's had it as well.
All in all this is a beautiful bra that doesn't quite fit.

This Comexim definitely does fit different than my other Comexims (I currently have 6 - all are the same size, a 75F). The cups are more "closed off" on the top - which might be due to the lace detailing at the top/edge of the cups. This causes the very slightest bit of quading on my larger breast. Luckily this is not noticeable under clothing. The other difference with this Comexim is that the gore does not tack - there is about a .25 inch gap between the gore and my skin (the only other Comexim that I own that does this is my Irish Coffee). Still, this ...does not really affect the lift or comfort for me. Actually this bra is ridiculously comfortable! And it is SO unbelievably pretty - the mint green color is gorgeous! My bra actually does not have a pearl at the gore though - it has a silver "C" pendant (I'll post pictures soon). The shape is that wonderful lifted, rounded shape that most Comexims have. I actually don't find the cups to be that much taller than my other Comexims - I know that was a critique about this bra. I think they might be a little taller than the Irish Coffee and Basic - but those fit me quite low and I prefer taller cups. I also read one review that said the fit got better after washing the bra - so I will put an update for the fit after I wash it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 151 more words
I ordered this bra direct from Comexim. It took just about a month to ship, and so disappointing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Well, just the fit. The bra itself is SO CUTE!! I really wanted this to work. This is now my 3rd failed attempt at Comexim, and I wanna get it right! I'm determined!!
But the Dottie is such a girly girl's bra, with the polka dot theme in turquoise and pink, and contrasting black and pink bows on the straps and the gore. I love that the straps on this are a bit wider, pretty similar to Freya's. However, they did seem to ...be a bit too far apart, though I asked for them to be taken in 2cm. I also asked for cookie inserts and they gave me the actual "pocket" for the cookies but without any actual cookies. Lol. The wings were perfect height! I was able to hook the band on the FIRST set of hooks (with a 27" Ribcage, there's a rarity for me). I ordered this with an additional row of hooks and eyes for the extra support. It does seem to be a true 60 band, measuring only 20.5" and stretching to just 28" (which was about the point where the wires were being distorted). The band did seem stretchy, but not loose by any means. But for some reason, while wearing the bra, it appeared as though there was too much tension or something at the center gore, strange.
Now onto the fit - I just don't know. I may be asking for fitting help/advice with this one. I just can't seem to pinpoint my size with this brand, and it's super frustrating!! But the "notoriously" narrow wires (at only 5.3" wide) still came out pretty far under my arm, which leaves me completely baffled. You can see where my actual boob begins through the empty fabric under my arm, and I get orange in a glass with both cups (more so on my left). I guess this is because there isn't enough immediate projection at the base of the cup? Yet there is some gaping at the edge of the cup (where I'm normally quad boobing out of them). The cups are def too big in that respect. It was almost a good fit. And the cup separation seemed perfect for my close-set boobs (only .5" apart). But the tall gore was def bothering me (at 3" high). The wires were digging into my sternum. Normally, I would request a lowered gore, but with my previous attempt in the Brigitte I thought the plunge style was the problem. So I decided to leave the gore height alone and only got the reduced cups instead. But, for whatever reason, this bra (this BRAND) just doesn't seem to be working for me. So sad.
Overall, this bra is "simply" adorable!! Fairly comfy (maybe more so if it fit properly). Good quality. I also got the matching thongs in a Small and didn't even attempt to try them, they are def SMALL!!! More like an EXTRA small! Lol! But cute. Oh well, I'm still going to continue on with my Comexim Quest!!! Read more 425 more words
With no side profile picture, I can't tell if the wires are too wide for you. Comexim wires are flexible, so there's that. OIG is not because of a shallow cup, it's caused by too-narrow wires that prevent your boob from completely getting into the cup and therefore leaving space at the bottom of the cup. This just looks like a case of too shallow and too small, honestly.
I would send these pictures to Anna, explain your problems, and ask for her advice. In my opinion, I think 60K is close but do not think you need reduced cups. You still have quite a bit of boob sitting above the cup of this bra - a regular height cup shouldn't be too tall on you. Dottie is also a newer style with their newer cut, that looks like a Free Time or Poison Ivy clone, and those cups are shorter than the Basic or older plunges to begin with. I've got shorter roots than you and don't need a reduced cup.
Bras that are too small can still cause gapping in weird places. Reducing the cup height reduces the overall cup depth, and moving the straps in can definitely alter the cup shape and fit. With more cup depth, you may be able to get more of your boob in the cup, and ameliorate some of these recurring fit issues. Just my 2 cents! A fit check may garner more opinions!
I did include a side profile pic, always do ;) If you wanna check again and let me know what you think, if not it's ok too. Lol. I requested the reduced cups because I wanted a bit less coverage for lower necklines. That, and I thought it might help with the fit issues I had in the Brigitte with "pointy" cups and empty fabric. And I don't think the straps were taken in on this at all, they're just placed too far out for me and irritate my armpit :( I wish you had seen the side profile pic I posted, because it's very confusing to me. The wires are def narrow yet I have empty fabric on the sides and they seem to come out too far. But thank you for the input. Much appreciated, and I agree. I think my next attempt with Conexim I will only ask for the additional row of hooks and eyes and leave the rest alone, as is, to see if the fit is better.
Oh I see it now! Yeah it looks too wide. Weird! Have you tried pulling the whole bra up into your IMF? Will it go in there at all? From the back view it kinda looks like it's all sitting too low. I'm still leaning towards it being too small.
As soon as I saw that empty space under my IMF, I tried pulling it up a bit, I even tightened the straps a good bit, but it just caused more gaping up top. I honestly think it might just be this model. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on it. And I have a friend who had some pretty odd, awkward fit issues as well. I was told this is one of their newer cuts and it just doesn't seem to be working for me. But I'm gonna try one of their older models without any alterations and take it from there. I think I'll try a 60J. Thanks for all of your help :)
It does look suspiciously shallow for a Comexim! I hope that's not the way they go with all their models eventually. Projected ladies are already sorely hurting for padded bra options.
Yeah it does look like its sitting really low in the back view. I think it has to do with the immediate projection at the bottom of bra being to shallow. Prob not best for FOB boobs and better for softer tissue. It's sitting way too far under your IMF and does look kind of wide on the sides :-/
Yeah, looking at my pics, I see just how low it's sitting. And it's really obvious from the back view. I did try pulling it up. Maybe I need a 65 band? The band was super tight. But I think the bra was just too big in the cups overall. I don't know. Lol, I'm trying to make sense of this bra, and I just can't.
This a fantastic bra. Well made, quality bra from Comexim. This is a unmodded bra, as well.
I am a difficult bra fit. I was hoping that this one would work for me, but it doesn't. My shape characteristics are full all over with a need for bottom and center projection. Narrowish root, close set and center full breasts.
When I first put the bra on, I thought it was my unicorn. I felt like I wasn't wearing a bra. I filled out the top of the cup perfectly, wires were just right and though the gore didn't tack (not a fit criteria for me), it looked ...excellent. Slightly tight band, but fairly true to size 80/36. Fabric backed fully adjustable straps, that I could see getting stretchy eventually. Plunge with plenty of center projection. Fantastic bra!
Problems came after wearing it for a day. I started to spill into the center of the bra, and I started to get quadding. The bottom of the bra folded over itself and the whole cups went with it. So this is not the bra for me.
I both want to try again with another Comexim, modded, and want to give up on them all together.
I LOVE this bra but for some reason it's way to big for me. I bought two other bras at the same time in 70H and they both fit perfectly but this is at least 2 cups sizes too big and 2 band sizes too big. I'm reordering it I love it that much.
Very cute swim top with a retro 50's flair. I purchased this from another bratabase user and we both only tried it on once, unfortunately way too small. This fits like a 30e, 65e...maybe even 65dd.
I don't get along with Comexim's regular 3-part plunge (cups too tall and too deep at the apex while being too shallow at the bottom) or with half cups in general, so I'm really happy that this fits. There's enough depth at the underwire and the tops, for once, are not too open for my shape! The overall look is round with subtle cleavage, similar to what Ewa Michalak's models seem to have in the CHP (which I've never quite achieved myself) but less in-your-face.
The fabric is lovely as well, very soft and comfortable against the skin.
Great, short height to these cups. Received this from a second-hand user who never wore it but just noticed that there's a part where the seams are messed up on the band. This gives a-may-zing cleavage and it has a gorgeous design. I would recommend for short ladies.
I haven't worn this bra for a full day yet so maybe my opinion will change about the fit… but it seems smaller than my other Comexims. It fits and is still very comfortable, but it's definitely more snug - which is bizarre because I took the measurements for the bra and they are almost exactly the same as my other Comexims! It must be the fabric or something making it have less give and be less stretchy (since this one is a shiny fabric which is very different from my other Comexim bras). I think one size up would be much too big so I'm sticking with the 75F. And even though it's more snug and the fit isn't quite as good as my other Comexims it's still 100x better than the other brands and bras I've worn! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Also, I should say I ordered the black from Wellfitting.
The cups on my Basic (and most everyone else's) seem to run about a half cup smaller than most of the other plunges, and that makes the band feel even tighter. :/ It's got the same depth and band length, but the center projection is decidedly less than, say, the projection on the Free Time.
That said, Basic is still my go-to t-shirt bra.
Yes! That's what it is! The center projection is less than my other Comexims (which i do have the Free Time and that fits great!). I agree that the basic will probably become my basic go-to t-shirt bra too… since it still fits and is comfortable, but I think I will go for a different nude bra now (I was debating ordering the nude in the basic too before I received it in the mail)
So I'm wearing it today and decided to use an extender for a while til it stretches a bit (that or I lose weight lol - I've gained 6 lbs since ordering the bra in July)
Finally got my first Comexim and wahh...it doesn't fit. I knew that this size wouldn't be a great fit, but I couldn't resist the pretty. I feel like the cups are a bit on the shallow side, but I like both the wire width and strap placement..not to wide or too narrow for me.
The Comexim half cups are definitely more shallow! Bummer that it didnt work out :( Joy is such a gorgeous bra! They will make it in a plunge for you instead. Maybe that cut will work better for you?
Great fit. I love the simplicity and versatility of the "basic" look, it goes with everything and disappears nicely under white shirts.
Cups: OMG, perfect for my narrow, projected breasts (for size reference, I'm typically 30F in UK, or 65FF in Ewa Michalak). I'm also soft-tissued and close-set, so the narrow, tall gore is great, too. The cups are tall enough that they enclose my tissue and don't give me quad-boob. Just a nice, rounded shape.
Band: Very firm. I had some painful red marks at the end of the day. Same result with an extender, which makes me think it's not too small, exactly, just rubs me the ...wrong way (literally). Still, even with that, it's one of my best bras.
Construction: 1 vertical and 1 horizontal seam. Very lightly foam padded. 3 hooks!
Materials: 74% polyamide, 20% polyester, 6% elastane. The interior cup fabric is more matte/soft than the shiny exterior fabric. The only change I would make to this bra is a cotton interior. I tend to get sweaty and itchy by the end of the day.
T-shirty friendly: Yes! The cup is mostly smooth with some subtle top lace.
UPDATE ONE YEAR LATER: The band never stretched out! This is still digging in, even with the extender. It's not worth it anymore. Read more 104 more words
Irish Coffee is my first Comexim and a result of a bra swap via Bratabase. It was a bit of a gamble, as I was clueless about the sizing. It turned out to be a pretty close to perfect fit, actually. Being uneven means that no bra will ever fit perfectly, aaaghhhhh.... This is a well made, good quality bra that I am currently using with an extender - this way I have lesser a quad on my bigger side. The brown and cream would not be my first choice otherwise, but have absolutely no regrets. It works well with my even to FOB shape and I am ... happy with the wing height - a very important factor for petites! First bra exchange completed and looking forward to a few more... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Edit: Loosening the band imroved the fit, still need the extender. Gives a nice shape under clothes, offers great support to FOB with average projection breasts. Too hot in the summer. Edit: The straps I don't like, way too stretchy. Thinking about adding a stiff fabric to it to block some stretchiness. Read more 82 more words
