This bra is beautiful! The fun pattern fabric is overlaying a foam cup, adorned with pink lace edging, and satin bows on the gore and straps. The cup is very supportive, and with the lowered cup height, almost works perfectly for my petite frame. Unfortunately, my breasts are too heavy, with too much immediate projection, for the cups to hold them up all day, and the cup tends to crease and collapse. I also get quite a bit of gapping when I move my shoulders/ arms forward (say to type), that even the lowered cup height can't fix. However, I'd recommend this bra/company for anyone with narrow roots, FOB, projected, narrow shoulders, soft tissue (as the magical cups hold everything in place).
PLEASE NOTE: This bra runs over an inch smaller in the cup than the interpolated measurements indicate. Please check individual user measurements. Fits like a 32F.
Welp, apparently I have narrow, projected boobs. That's the good news I learned from this bra.
The bad news is, it's still not quite right in the cup shape.
The band is lovely. These days, I'm measuring 31" comfortably snug and even wearing some of my Freya 30s with an extender. I went with the 34 here for comfort, and I'm glad I did. The fabric is very soft and stretchy, but I would have distorted the wires in a 32, ...I think.
Also good: I cannot believe a gore this tall fits me! There's, like, 1 millimeter of clearance, but I'll take it!
However...I also have heavy, soft, splayed boobs, with a lot of center fullness and no armpit fullness (just a prominent tail of Spence). In this bra, my nipple is about one inch closer to the gore than the seam, which leaves a dent between nipple and seam. There's also emptiness at the outer top of the cup; the combined effect is pointy (which I don't mind too much) with dimples (which I do).
Compounding the problem, the straps are 100% stretchy--reeeeeeally stretchy. So my heavy breasts make the cups gape. When I hold the cups closed as if the straps don't stretch...Holy center quadding, Batgirl.
So, I'm hoping the fit issues can be fixed with some customization. If Comexim does work for you already, this is soft and beautiful. Read more 150 more words
YOU ARE SO PRETTY. I did a bad job of guessing my Comexim size - too big in the cups and ever so slightly too small in the band for me. The gapping in the cups occurs mostly along the center and top of my breasts, which leads me to believe that Comexim bras could be AWESOME for me since I usually struggle to find enough center projection for my center-full breasts.
Could you do me a favor and post wire width and cup depth? I'm currently talking to Amelia at Comexim about a custom 75H/75HH hybrid, but I'm wondering if a 70J plus extender wouldn't do just as well, and most of the 70J folks here did not post measurements.
Very pretty lightly padded bra. Although the tag says 70HH in Polish sizing, I suspect it's mislabeled. I can easily fasten it on the tightest hooks, and the cups have considerable gaping in the middle & on top. Even so, it still gives that great Comexim shape. It just cuts into my arms because it's too wide for me.
This bra is Wellfitting's Demi cup bra - a balconette that I think is exclusive to Wellfitting. It fits very different from Comexim's more common plunges. I found that this one ran a cup size small on me. Fits my smaller boob ok, but the center gore doesn't tack, and my bigger boob quads and in general the bra looks flat and smashed on me. This one is definitely going back.
I have gravitated toward balconettes in the past because I fear full-cup bras on my petite frame - nearly everything gapes at the top on me, but after trying this one side-by-side with a plunge, I think the Comexim plunges may be a better shape fit for me.
This is the classiest bra I've ever seen. Matte black satin with a shimmery swirl pattern, a silver and pearl drop at the center gore, and lace trimmed cups. This is a true half cup, the gore is low and the tops of the breast are completely exposed, making this a perfect bra for under scoop necklines (which is what I wanted it for).
The wires are slightly wider than Comexims plunges, and the cup it self is shallower and the bottom and at the center gore. It still has oodles more projection than most UK half cups, but if you've got a good fit in Comexims plunge cut, you'd likely have to size up 1-2 cup sizes for the half cup cut.
This is a custom ordered size, and a custom band with 3 hooks instead of 2. There were no additional charges for this order.
I would like to preface this review by noting that I have had the gore and cup height reduced. I'm kind of in between sizes where I need the cup height and wires of a standard 26F but the depth of a standard 26FF. I had the gore lowered because high gores can be very painful for my splayed breasts. I ordered this bra along with the Irish Coffee and I feel as if these two bras are different cuts, altough they're both plunge bras. I would say that the Irish Coffee bra is more like a true plunge and this bra is 75% plunge and 25% balconette. It ...still retains the same sexy, v-shape cups characteristic of Comexim bras but I feel like this bra is lower and the underwires are installed at more of an angle. The wires on the Iris are narrower as well. This bra is gorgeous in real life. It is more of a deep, eggplant purple than the bright purple depicted in the stock photos. This eggplant purple lace is overlaid on top of beige, with some icy blue accents running through the top. The bow in the middle is adorned with the same eggplant purple and icy blue. The wires are perfect for my root. Comexim produces the narrowest underwire bras that I have encountered. I found the band true to size and did not feel constricting at all. Read more 125 more words
Carmen is such a gorgeous bra! This is a sturdy seamed cup with a red-purple fabric overlain with black lace for the 3-part cup, and a solid black band.
It should fit someone in the 26FF range (or 28F, maybe with an extender till the band stretches out more), who has narrow roots, some immediate projection, and FOB-even breasts. The custom lower cup height is ideal for persons who have high-set breasts, narrow shoulders, or a petite frame.
My current best fit is Ewa M in 60F CH,CHP. My main problem with comexim bras are that I have too much immediate projection, and my breasts are too heavy for the cup, so it pushes the wire down. My breasts aren't very self-supportive, and tend to weight the cup down.
This bra was too small for me all over. I normally wear 30FF - 30:8 size in Freya , Cleo
The cups were about one cup too small, the gore would not tack for about 0.5cm, if I pressed it towards me I'd get spilling on the middle.
I could barely close the band around me, but I cannot breathe once I'm in it.
I wanted to try Comexim, but nobody was selling on my normal Comexim size 60HH but I found this sister size available so I went for it.
By the end of the day, the wires hurt because they were too narrow for me. I find that Ewa Michalak bras have the right cup width for me (padded 65G/30:9 for non padded 65FF/30:8)
This bra is absolutely beautiful. It's a gorgeous robin's egg blue with grey stitching in an elegant design and I couldn't wait to put it on.
Except it's probably 4" smaller in the band than bratabase had led me to believe. This bra comfortably stretches to only about 27", though someone who was between a 28 and 30 band might be able to pull it off. That is certainly not me. I had quite a bit of distance between the hooks and I couldn't even close it! How disappointing!
However, the cups look to be almost the volume I need, though maybe a size or two too small. I am somewhere in the vicinity of a 30HH/32H for your reference. I'd suggest this bra to someone looking for a 28GG/H, though I'd aim for the smaller side.
Sigh. Guess I'll be re-ordering it a size or two up.
Holy mother of what?! This band is unbelievably tiny! I ordered it under the assumption that it would fit like a UK 30H-ish (I'm still unsure of my exact Comexim size), but the band doesn't even stretch past 26" without beginning to distort! I included a picture of the unstretched bra with a measuring tape to show how tiny it is.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to comment on the rest of the fit, as I couldn't even fasten it. However, it appears approximately like the pictures on the Comexim site, though maybe the fabric looks a hair lower quality. It has a slightly cheap polyester sheen to it. It seems well constructed, though, and looks absolutely adorable. I'm sad it doesn't fit.
First off this bra is beautiful. I love the bow, the lace, and the overall look. Unfortunately, the seams show through thin light colored fabric, but I was afraid it would be worse. It's wearable with a lot of different clothes.
The wellfitting calculator put me at a 55G, but I heard that both band and cup run small so I tried a few sizes. I found that the band runs a little big and the cup small, so this size didn't work out for me. I'm not sure the shape does either, but wires the seemed to be as narrow as I need.
If someone thought the shape would work for them, I'd recommend it as a comfortable, pretty, and reasonably priced bra.
You can look for a more detailed review in my 55H.

The wellfitting calculator put me at a 26G (55G), but this size didn't work out for me. I have a 26" underbust measurement, so I was excited to finally try something in my size. However, the band fits more like a 28. The cups are way too small. I'm not sure the shape works out either, but the wires do seem to be as narrow as I need.

Excellent bra, however it gives me an "orange in glass", slight quad boob on the top & not quite wide enough on side. Might need to order a cup size up, but is still fairly comfortable because the straps shorten nicely & cup doesn't come up too high under arms and poke.Will keep it as I am losing weight & most likely it will work later. It is new so don't know how it stretches out yet. Update: even though I have lost some weight, the cups are way too small!!!
This is the first bra I've ever worn that doesn't dig in and hurt in the wires. I'm sort of in between a 28 and 30 band so the 65 is perfect on me. It's not a true 30; it's a little more snug than most 30s but not tight feeling. I am finding that I prefer to wear it on the middle hook if I am being particularly active, but otherwise the loosest is fine. Very narrow wires that fit perfectly!
I think the band fits like a true 26. My measurements indicate 26D, but I usually wear 28s. While this bra fits a lot snugger, it feels supportive, not suffocating. I have some small gaps in the middle-top ish areas hours after s&s, but it's not too bad honestly. The wires are on the narrower side. While they do contain my breast tissues, the outer ends of the wires dig in initially.
Update: After couple of wears and washes this bra fits me pretty well. I still have to scoop & swoop once or twice throughout the day though.
We must stop meeting like this...

Also, did this come from Comexim or Wellfitting?
