This is a favorite bra of mine! The band is a touch bigger than true to size, at least in the bra that I received. Many 26 bands are a little too tight to be comfortable but this one is just right on me. If you are between sizes or prefer tighter bands, size down.
As others have said, the overlay fabric is brilliant blue and the print is interesting. I frequently wear this bra instead of a solid black one.
Excellent shape, uplift, and comfort from Comexim!
Style: This bra is SO gorgeous! The fabric is satiny smooth, and the dust rose trim compliments it perfectly. The look is elegant and slightly antique. I don't think I've ever been this in love with the design of a bra! The three part cups are made with an especially thin, low profile foam compared to all of the other Comexim's I've tried. This is a big plus for me, as I prefer flexible and lightweight cups. While it is not a skin tone, the medium shade of the colors allows it to blend in under light tops. I ordered this through Zathiya, and it appears to be ...available exclusively through them.
Fit: The band is firm and perfect length for me, with a white lining and the satin fabric covering the entire band which tends to lend stability compared to Comexim's single-layer bands. These cups appear to be suprisingly shallow at the wire, compared to most Comexims I've tried. This bra is not a perfect fit on me: the gore floats just slightly (less than .5 cm), and the cups gape slightly at the top. However, it doesn't appear small enough that I could size down, because when I push the gore to my sternum the slight gaping goes away. I am planning to post a fit request for more help with these issues https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 126 more words
This is SO beautiful on you! Hope your customizations create a perfect fit!
This bra is so delicate! How I wish Comexim would fit me! I adore so many of their designs, however, I never wear the bras, so I'm committed to stop buying them.
The Comexim Honey Cookie Plunge bra is perhaps the most beautiful nude bra I've ever personally handled. The lace cup overlay, satin base fabric, and shimmery center gore bow are lovely. There is scalloped embroidery on the fully-adjustable straps and bows at the strap-cup junction. Speaking of the straps, I did find it odd the band-side of the strap has extra length beyond the end-stitching - 1.5 cm worth - which I realized could be leveraged to let out the straps, to make even more length to accommodate low-set breasts and/or an extra-long torso, which is brilliant (I would have so appreciated this in my ...latest acquisition, an Empreinte with too little strap length!). The seams on this Comexim are all very neat and the workmanship is so tidy. It's not surprising the bra tag reads Linea Artisana - because this is artisanal-grade work. Those of you who prefer an overlapping gore will enjoy this plunge with close-set wires; the wires end up almost on top of one another due to the way the wire channels are brought together and overlapped. The three part cup construction is nicely done with an extra bit of fabric covering over those seams on the cup interior. There is "padding" but it's more of a thick liner - about 0.3 cm deep. This helps the cup keep its shape without adding too much volume. Finally, I love that there are three hooks. I don't see this often in the sizes I wear, and I wish it were more common. The added rear band depth and hook add a lot of security for me.
Fit-wise, I'm afraid this bra isn't a keeper for me. It's a shame, because even for a bra that fit me poorly I found it really comfortable. It's just a shape and size mismatch. The bra cups seem a little too small (I normally wear a 32F US/UK) and I get big-time quadding to the extent that I don't feel supported, and bending over causes my breasts to leave the bra. The very narrow and somewhat low center gore is also an issue for me. While I don't have wide-set breasts per se, I have very soft tissue and it tends to mush inward if not supported. The immediate projection of this bra is not enough for my shape, though the wires were comfortable. Read more 302 more words
Have you thought about buying this 2-3 cup sizes up? Comexim plunge wires don't grade wider much so you'll have a similar width cup but deeper.
Hi cupandahalf - I will have to try that! This bra was a 32:8 so I thought I was upsizing, but I may not have gone far enough - that was one cup beyond what I normally wear. It was so impressed by it, I'd love to try it in a properly fitting cup size. Thanks for the feedback!
No problem! I would try 2 cups up. They will be taller though. If you're in the US Breakout bras sells plunges (although not this stunner) in stock so you could try a few different sizes, with free returns!
Looks great on you. I do like the contrast of colours on this bra. I have considered ordering it as a 3hc because I'm not sure how I'd like a longline (I'm currently waiting a longline in the mail from another company, so I'll know soon). Thanks for the review
How does the fabric feel? I heard it was velvety.
Thanks Wilderness1 !
cupandahalf it doesn't have a velvet texture but is elastic similar to bathing suit material but not that elastic if that makes sense?
Very short, projected, center full, slightly narrow, even breasts...
Sultry. I feel sultry in this bra. Considering my nickname was "Prudence" for several years, this is an amazing accomplishment for a bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Although this bra shares similarities with the Anna Pardal Hibiscus Half cup, it fits my short roots better because the cup edge is closed. If you like this pattern as much as I do and have tall roots, choose Hibiscus. Fellow shorties, Noir works very well for us.
If you read my 65K Hibiscus review, it may be difficult to believe I prefer Noir's ...design. The ric rac across the cup edge is unique, increases the texture, and beautiful. Noir has a zebra-like lace pattern whereas Hibisus has a leaf and flower pattern. Zebras cause me to swoon. Their patterns are as unique as our fingerprints. Like every other creature on this great planet, zebras are magnificent. Proudly, I wear these stripes.
The 60M 3HC stays in my IMF better than the 65K 3HC. 60M 3HC Noir is a "more immediately projected" 3HC bra. Its cup is slightly wider and deeper than the 65K 3HC Hibiscus and the 60M 3HC Veronique. Taller roots will be happier in Veronique than in Noir, too. Although I don't need a cup wider than 5.5", I need just over 6" of width in Comexim 3HC to compensate for the lack of immediate projection. I fit well in an 80E Ewa Michalak Ch; sister size 65G. But, I need a 60M or 65L to fit all my tissue near the wire in Comexim 3HC. In these sizes, the wing height is marginally too tall. Because I strongly prefer the equal distribution of breast across my chest the 3HC creates, I will suffer the too tall wings.
Exceptional Comexim quality and blissful cotton clouds line the cups. Another Comexim masterpiece...
So glad you found a good fit! Your EM to Comexim sizes are fairly consistent with mine, FYI, although I need a larger size in lined EMs. I've also struggled with too high wings in my comexims, and if I order again I'll definitely request the wings be reduced to a specific height.
@klilly3 I emailed Anna suggesting she would have higher profit margins on a half cup with more immediate projection. I so hope she creates a slightly different pattern. The lined Comexim size dwarfs my lined Ewa Michalak size. Otherwise, like you, ANOTHER alteration.
Elena is my first Comexim plunge bra that fit. I've lost weight since I got it, but it still fits pretty well. It was a great introduction to Comexim plunges for me and got me hooked after I kept striking out with 3HCs. The band runs tight and the apex projection is great. At the time, the wires were the narrowest I had tried and felt amazing, although I can go narrower now. Reduced cup height would probably make it perfect, so that's the alteration I'm going to go for next. There is a long story behind how I ended up with a 28G/60HH (I never expected it to fit). I've put all the details in the full review on my blog https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I received this bra from a another Bratabase user. I never thought I would fit into a 60K but the measurements looked comparable so I gave it a try. The band is to small for my 29in frame so I have to wear and extender. The cups fit good, they are deep at the bottom with immediate depth The gore is too wide so my breast tissue pushes the wires sit below my IMF so it sits less on breast tissue. This cause a wrinkle in the bottom of the cup. The gore is also to tall causing some discomfort but not too much due to Comexim soft ...wires. The seam can be see under shirt but not too noticeable. It has a simple flower details but it is more of a practical bra then sexy lingerie. This bra would work great as a nude for some one with darker skin. I would love to order an altered unlined Comexim(narrow, overlapping and shortened gore) but with their inconsistency in alterations I find myself wearing imperfect fits. I am also unsure of what size, I usually were a 65H and this is 2 cup sizes bigger but fits. Read more 90 more words
It's actually 3 cup sizes bigger which is crazy! I found a 60K that fit more like a 55L and it was perfect. I can't do comexims full gore height for the reason you stated. It's so stabby and painful. Glad it doesn't bother you
I was SO disappointed. This bra "should have" fit me well, but it arrived smaller than the 60J I had just sold. The immediate projection in Comexim unlined is blissful!!
I think next time I order I'll try Zathiya or Bra Obsessed so I can be sure to get what I want.
violetknight yeah. Jaimie at bra obsessed is amazing. Zathiya is great too. Jaimie is just willing to go above and beyond to help. I've sent her pics every step of the way until we finally nailed my comexim size and alterations that I need
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
Soft cup Comexim 3HC attempt number three: straps moved in 2cm and centre gore raised, cup size up.
I still get the bulge over the wire at the outside edges of the cups and the flattenning on the top outside edge of the cup where the strap would have been originally. But, the raised centre gore makes the ...inner top edges of the cup sit well and reduces the flattened look. I'm going to look into what I can do to modify the shape, but the fit works well.
Chloe is very softly lined with a soft synthetic outer cup with two toned blue embroidery. It has a fairly substantial embroidered top edge. The band is pretty standard and the cup volume matches the Donna and Beauty (bigger than Angel and I found Ginger a little small too).
The wings might be a bit short for me, but we'll see.
Edit: I solved it! I put a dart in the elastic right inside the outside end of the wire. This pulls the top edges of the cup a touch wider, but doesn't change the strap set width very much. Read more 138 more words
This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered straps,
Straps moved in 2 cm and centre gore raised.
I'll do a full blog review later, but for a quick summary for now:
The band on this bra runs super small (it stretches to about 27.9 inches). The straps are long. I wish they were shorter and I have them fully shortened. I'm tall with low set breasts. The cups don't allow for much inner fullness at all. I really have to reverse swoop and scoop, and basically but my boobs in my armpits. Even reverse swooping and scooping, there's way more armpit space than I need. The foam part of the cup is very short. It's basically a nip slip waiting to happen.
Whoa. That is a different cut, eh? Thanks for the warning! :-)
Love4Pollinators It's definitely different than the other Comexims I've tried previously, but its cut very similarly to the Gilda I just received. It's a really terrible cut and I'm not sure why... The Gilda was altered the same was as my Graffiti I got about a month and a half ago and the fit is waaay different
Another user who has not yet added data said the same thing about her Gilda. In fact, maybe 1 of the 5 in her recent order will work. She owns six fitting Comexims, but the recent order was VERY different. Sigh!
Love4Pollinators I've owned probably close to 20 Comexim bras including these, and while they weren't all perfect fits my issues up until now have been mostly nitpicky things (the band on a longline rolled up, the cup on a particular bra was shallower than I realized, I grew and the bra was too small, etc.). I've never had something from them be this poor of a fit all around though. It stinks because I waited almost two months for them
I think when I emailed Comexim to ask about the Vogue they said it was a 1HC cut.
amandafire Ive never tried the 2HC (Idk if that's what you meant to write, because the cup is definitely two parts) so I can't say if it's similar to that. To me it looks basically identical to the plunge cut if you take off the top segment of it
kermitdafrog21 yes 2HC is what I meant I was thinking of the single seam and messed that up. Maybe it's a variation on the 2HC, because I got one by mistake before and it seemed quite a bit different from the plunge, it was much shallower and had wider wires.
letstalkaboutbras, me, too. I hope Comexim implements "poka yoke" techniques SOON. Quality control is helpful but will simply increase the cost of manufacturing unless they prevent the errors.
I'm returning to Wacoal because their bras have been especially predictable. But, I don't think they have one bra for center-full, close-set, and projected breasts. :-( The push-up bras I found are lovely but they were not intended for my breast characteristics. ;-)
amandafire If you line up the wires between this and the Gilda its a tiny bit wider, but only a tiny bit. And they actually measure a little narrower due to the different angle that the top of the wires make. I definitely wouldn't call it a wide bra, so it probably is a modified 2HC (unless somehow in my size a 2HC is narrower than in all the other sizes lol)
Love4Pollinators I'm sized out of most brands, and most of the ones I can "fit into" are super wide. As much as I love my EM bras, I spend a lot of time sitting so I'm trying to get something that fits with softer wires since my old Comexims got too small. I have one more on order from them (placed the order before this one arrived) and if it has the same problems I'll have to take a break from ordering from Comexim for a bit I think
A long overdue update to the blog and review of the Comexim classic Ingrid that I can't believe I went so long without trying. Beautiful autumn-friendly floral pattern, typical narrow wires, more apex than immediate projection. A size smaller than I originally wore in Comexim is making me feel the extent of the shrinkage I've had. I'm wearing mostly 28Fs and tight-banded 30Es these days. Fits well and makes me feel classy!
Yay. A new review! Welcome back. Also perfect timing. I really want to order this same bra, but am not sure if I also need a 60H now... I have been obsessing over Ingrid for a few days, but my existing 60HHs have me stumped. When you measured at the apex, which part of the cup was it?
I found the deepest part to be where the two seams meet.
Thanks for the review. From what I've read in a couple of your reviews, I think I fit bras pretty similarly to you (broad shoulders, short roots, narrow, soft), so I find your reviews particularly helpful. It looks great on you, btw.
Thanks, that's how I measure mine. I noticed that your depth measurement is deeper than the other 60H Ingrids on here, but troubling for me is that the measurements are really close to my 60HHs, so I'm totally stumped on sizing again :/ I might try writing to Anna with pics. I'm starting to wonder if I got one 60H mislabeled.
Wow. This is an incredibly beautiful bra. Comexim makes my favorite black bras: Hibiscus, Noir, and Belle de Nuit.
This prototype bra may be available in the future. The basic cup construction is like a 3HC. And, a stretchy, supportive panel across the top of the cup will enable taller roots to sucessfully wear the 3HC.
This cup is covered with velvet-flocked, black clematis blossoms and vines on a fine black mesh over ivory, cotton-covered foam. The seams of the 3HC are strikingly accented with black fabric tape. The fine velvet-flocked, black mesh floats over these black seams. Sincerely, this creates a stunning effect. Velevet bows accent the ...straps and wings. The entire band is covered with the velvet-flocked clematis flowers and lined with a stronger mesh. This is a less-stretchy Comexim band. Its dimensional stability is better than that of the more stretchy Comexim bands.
If Comexim's 3HC didn't allow enough space for your upper tissue, this style may change everything. The apex in this prototype has been shifted up approximately 1.5" from the 3HC's apex position. In fact, the apex is located in the unpadded part of the bra. The cup is 1.3" taller than the 3HC. The wire is approximately 1" longer. The gore .7" taller, and the wing .3" shorter. This is an improvement for those with taller roots. Shorties, we need to cling to the original design. Here is a link comparing a 65K 3HC to this design: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/di7kp/vs/bra/dijlp/
This cut appears very similar to the Ewa Michalak SF style. If the SF works for you, this half-padded Comexim may, too.
From a volume perspective, this cup is perfect for me. My breast fills the entire cup when I position each cup individually. Because my breasts are center-full and my breast apex is located closer to the gore than the bra's apex (like 175+ other bras), this rapidly pushes out of my IMF. So, this cut is not ideal for me. No surprise.
Aesthetically, this bra is stunning. And, if you have more upper tissue than the 3HC can hold, this may be your unicorn bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> Read more 250 more words
I love how Comexim is trying to meet the needs of people with all different sizes and shapes of breasts.
How did you get your hands on a prototype?! So cool.
Very lovely any interesting as I found the half cup to be so shallow and way short though I got a reduced cup i keep thinking if only it had some stretch lace on the upper cup I wouldn't fall out . confusing how they call this a 3piece half cup when it looks like a 4 piece half padded balcony bra ..
I agree that it appears at first glance similar to the sf but the sf Isn't padded. I know her description says semi padded but nope just fabric of steel in that lower cup and stretch on the upper .
This is interesting. I wonder what made them make a taller bra, when it seems like most people (at least here and abtf) want shorter cups.
I have tall roots, and while I no longer ask for the cup reduction, I'd prefer shorter cups, not taller ones. I'd be so happy if Comexim made a cup that was as low as the Ewa M style.
The 3HC has cups too tall for me to begin with, but I'd welcome more apex depth and narrower wires.
Very cool that you got a prototype!
Wow! Beautiful! I would definitely give this style a try!
ennakym The amazing Jaimie at Bra Obsessed sourced this prototype.
@Prettyncharmeuse Like you, I'd thoroughly appreciate shorter cups.
@Ivp The bra cut title is unknown to me. Jaimie has referred to it as "hard-earned." It may well be a balcony as you suggest.
Ivp "half-padded" rather than autocorrect's suggestion. ;-)
It may well be hard earned surly such a lovely design was
After years of buying from Ewa Michalak, I finally decided to take the plunge into the world of Comexim. I definitely second guessed myself in the wrong direction this time. This is supposedly a 50H with reduced cups, so at least now I know never to order a 50G. Goodness.
Super comfy, and the band is a perfect fit. Wires are just a little wide on my narrow roots, but it's the best I've had so far. I don't even feel the stabby gore, which is amazing. The cups are much too small, though; it's like my boobs are having a quad party. Time to order a new one.
The holy grail bra, I have finally found it! Cakes on a plate + basketball roundness + enough immediate projection. SO COMFORTABLE. I wore it new out of the package 2 different days this week and forgot about it, it was that great. It's also GORGEOUS. The lace is smooth under tops. I put it on and said, "My boobies look pretty!" And my bf definitely agreed, haha. This definitely has more bottom projection than plunges. The open cup allows my tall but medium-shallowness roots to do what they wish. No gaping that i get with Comexim/AP plunges. No quadding. I take it off at the end of the day and the underwire marks mirror my IMF perfectly. I am going to handwash and wear it a few more times before I order more Comexim 3hc's pronto! Thanks to Ayouthfulporpoise for your awesome blog review. #boobtwin.
It's good to be at a long journey's end. Yesterday I found my holy grail bra as well: Lepel Fiore Plunge 30D Jade color. So the small Cleos are listed and have to go. (The big ones have to stay in case I will have another nursing time. ... please keep your finger crossed this will happen ... ;-)
Congratulations on finding your perfect fit, janearmena !
Ooh this gives me hope that the 3hc will be projected enough rather than the plunges.
Since I got this bra last December, it has been the one I’m most likely to wear on any given day. It’s soft and comfortable and perfect. It has the narrow and projected cups Comexim is known for, and gives a round and uplifted but still natural shape. I was a bit unsure before ordering whether I would like the look since I kind of hate beige bras. But Ingrid has understated beauty, and a slightly vintage feel to it. The copper and olive green rose print looks gorgeous on the warm-toned creamy background. I like that it’s not trying to be sexy.
I ordered Ingrid with a reduced ...center gore, but it seems like standard height to me. The gore doesn’t really tack and sits on my breast tissue, but reduced and overlapping gores do the same really. It’s a result of my very close-set breasts combined with Comexim’s soft wires. It’s not uncomfortable, so I don’t mind. The band was unfortunately quite loose on my bra, and I had to close it with the tightest hooks immediately. After some time I got the band shortened by a few centimeters, and now it feels very good (measurements taken before the alteration).
Interestingly, the fit of the cups has changed somewhat after receiving the bra (even before the band alteration). In the beginning, the bra was gaping at the top annoyingly. After a few months, the gaping disappeared and the top edge was sitting very smoothly against my skin. I couldn’t figure out why my boobs would be growing at this point – maybe it was some migrated tissue coming back after starting to wear projected Polish bras? Nevertheless, it fits very well now and I am happy!
I also got a matching thong in size S, since I wasn’t a fan of the brief style. The thong is really pretty and comfortable, I love it.
So yeah I want to wear this bra every day. It feels like pillows for boobs. It’s beautiful. I’m happy to now have Comexim in my life. Read more 232 more words
I have it and really like it. Also I wasn't sure about the print but it's looks much better when you have it in your hand or on your boobs actually. However I don't wear it often now as before coz I have way too many bras :D
Thank you Love4Pollinators ! I agree martka00, it does look better in real life! It's starting to have a lot of competition now, but still holding on. :D
Thanks for the review. I have the same close-set problem where it's hard to get even an overlapped gore to tack in there, but some definitely work better than others. Still haven't found the right fit in Comexim but inspired to try again.
This is a bra I've never pulled the trigger on and every time I see it I like it a little bit more. It really does have a vintage feel.
too sad there isnt a longline version available. This bra really suits you well.
1zora216 Thank you! :) Actually you can order any of their bras as a longline version, it's just a bit more expensive. lcl0706 It does! It's very lovely but not necessarily one that would at first get your attention. MommaK I hope you will find the right fit! :) I find that Ewa Michalak gores tack more easily (lower gore + firmer wires), but often I still find Comexim more comfortable.
You rock this red....and SO many other colors!! Gorgeous!!
Love4Pollinators thanks. People tell me I look good in bold colors, so I try to stick with those. Lol I would love to have a bold blue or dark green bra.

Beautiful bra the stock photos don't do it any justice, the lace blends with the mesh much more nicely than it appears in photos. I ordered a 70F based on the fit of another unlined 3HC, and this one is too small. It does have an overlapping gore which I didn't request. I also ordered in a balcony/plunge style in a 70F and it's a better fit.
My first unlined Comexim! I was totally unsure of what size to order, so I took my usual padded plunge size at the suggestion of Joanna at Comexim. I didn't request any alterations, but much to the delight of my close-set boobs the bra arrived with an overlapping gore.
Let's start with the good: -Angel is exceptionally comfortable and very lightweight feeling... totally the elusive "forget you're wearing it" kind of bra. I even fell asleep in it and woke up to no digging wires whatsoever, which is something I can't say even for my designated around-the-house comfort bras. -It holds my boobs low and close to my chest ...in an unexpectedly round shape, very similar to the profile created by the Claudette Dessous. -It's an excellent pale-person nude bra. Beneath a thin light colored tank top, it's pretty darn seamless, and only a small hint of the lighter scalloped lace edging is really detectable.
The not-so-good: -The overall construction is not as fantastic as Ewa's unlined bras. The wires are super flexible and don't offer quite the same level of support and uplift. There's actually a decent amount of room for upper and center fullness, but the bendy wires prevent the gore from tacking firmly on me (though I experience this to some degree in their padded bras, too). -I'm a huge fan of charms and embellishment on bras, but the acrylic crystal on the gore is a little cheaper looking in person. -Unless I'm standing with my shoulders back, the lace gapes a little at the top. I'm positive I couldn't size down (the wires would be too narrow) but perhaps moving in the straps might have evened out the tension a little better.
Overall, not a terrible fit, and I think I'll hold on to it especially because it's so comfortable. I'm curious about trying Angel in an unlined 3HC, but may hold off until I can get a better understanding of what size to order!
idk why, it makes me feel better than even someone several cup sizes smaller than I am says unlined Comexim are not very supportive. I only own one, and . . . doesnt feel secure at all.
dbmamaz That's exactly it, definitely a less secure feeling. I guess the trade-off of extreme comfort is that it doesn't make for a powerlifting kinda bra!
Wonderful news!!! :-) :-) Would you also add the cup height? I was blissfully happy in a "65HH"-ish Eve full cup, but it was way too tall. You have given me hope that a balcony in the same size may fit :-) Looks beautiful!!
That bra looks fabulous on you! How wonderful it's totally comfy as well!
Love4Pollinators Sure thing, just updated the measurements :) Good luck, hopefully more Comexim unlined bras will start to get added here and help iron out the size uncertainty!
This bra is very similar in fit as my EM CHP Marcepanowa in 75F, which is great, because both are a near perfect fit and pretty much my new favourite bras! The only thing at the moment is that the cups are ever so slightly small, which causes my boobs to bubble over a little when I move around a lot (say run for the bus or something). But that's mostly due to the fact that I've recently gained some hormonal weight, which should go back down soon.
I compared the bra directly to my CHP, and the wires and cups seem pretty much the same, width, height and ...depth wise. The band on the Ewa is a lot looser, while the cups of the Comexim half cup come up just a third of an inch or so higher than those of the CHP. I actually prefer the cup height of the Comexim, as my boobs feel slightly more securely packaged, and bounce a little less when I walk (I love Ewa, but her padded bras make my boobs bounce somehow).
The profile I get in this Comexim is great; very round, uplifted, slightly minimised, and within my frame. It definitely gives cakes on a plate style cleavage, while (mysteriously) also pushing my boobs closer towards each other. I therefore get much more cleavage than I got with Comexim plunges (imperfect match for me), and Ewa plunges (very good match for my shape). The cups have a lot of bottom projection, but not too much over all projection.
The bra itself is beautiful (as it should be with that name), very classy black lace over a smooth pinky beige fabric. The lace is very flat, and does not show too much through thin fabrics. The foam Comexim uses feels a little cheaper and more squeaky than Ewa's foam though. The straps of this bra are a little stretchy and quite thin, but it's not proved a problem while wearing it. The band feels very nice and tight, and I appreciate that it as 3 hooks, as opposed to the 2 hooks I get on my Ewa.
Over all, I slightly prefer the look and feel of my Ewa, but in terms of comfort and cup height the Comexim has an edge.
I also tried the other half cup version by Comexim (the 1 seam, 2 part one), but unfortunately I ordered it in the wrong size. However, I already could tell that it runs a little smaller, and, most importantly, is shallower in the bottom at the cup than the 3HC version. I may try the 2HC again, but probably go up a cup size compared to the 3HC.
I currently have a custom order out for a 3HC Poison Ivy in 75J, to see whether a bigger size will solve my slight overflow problem, and so that I have a half cup for my bigger boob days on hand. Let's see how that fits!
PS: I just noticed that the lace pattern is very different from the stock pictures! I much prefer my version https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
Looks great on you, and a great fit oo!
