I ordered this to be a longline instead of a regular plunge, and added the little C charm (My first initial is a C lol!) but other than that there are no other alterations. I ordered a 60L, but I do think that I might need a 55M/L with narrower wires for more projection next time. I believe this to be a sign that I have graduated from 60 to 55 comexim bands (this checks out as I now need a 60 in Ewa Michalak bras, and her bands run very tight). My snug underbust is just under 26”, and my loose underbust is 27”. This band is ...VERY stretchy! I already need to have it on the tightest hooks to provide adequate support, and even then the gore does not tack properly.
This 3HC is wayyy too shallow for my shape; the wires extend much too far past my roots, and there is slight quadding and discomfort in the centre of the cups due to it lacking projection. I also cannot get the wires into my IMF as this bra lacks the immediate projection required to do so. Therefore, my breasts push out the underwire and cradle at the bottom, the gore doesn’t tack, and the band has a tendency to ride up. I need to tighten the straps to God Himself to get proper support which is the #1 sign the band is not snug enough. Overall, I think even if the band and cup fit I would not get the best support due to the weaker wires. It’s sad because I absolutely am in love with this print, the floral embroidery is everything I need in life & I like the “held in” feeling I get from a properly fitting longline bra. Overall, I think if I could go back in time I would request MUCH stronger wires, a 55 band, and the wires for a 55K bra plus the cups for a 55M/L. Read more 218 more words
A long time ago, I got the Kris Line Diamond bra. It’s the best bra I’ve ever had and I love it! But it’s stretching out and having some pilling, so it was time for another new push up of some kind. I ended up ordering the Comexim Gloria from Breakout Bras, which is my first order from Comixim.
I LOVE IT. I’ve only been trying it out for two days, but it’s comfortable, uplifting, and very sexy. There’s slightly more visibility under clothes than with an entirely smooth t-shirt bra, but less than is common with entirely unpadded bras from Freya and Panache.
I don’t think there’s as much projection/lift as there is with my Kris line bra, as that one is an actual push up and this one is just moulded. But I really like it so far!
Lovely, smooth fabric. The yellow color is more vibrant in person making me think about some sort of exotic bird. I have assymetry and have recently lost weight so my unpadded 30D Cleo's and Mimi Holliday gape at the top sometimes, but here's no gaping nor cutting in the breast tissue. The cups do a great job at preventing any bounce when running. The band is comfortably snug.
I lost track of my UK size because I almost exclusively wear Polish now, but I guess I'm a 28G. My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, soft and self-supporting tissue, and super close-set.
I have no fit issues with this bra. The band is snug (true to size as a 28 band). The cups are narrow, projected and open on top. I think the bra compresses more than lifts so it gives a subtle silhouette. The straps are long and adjustable, and comes with a J-hook to make into a cross-back style. Overall a great bra that fits my shape very well.
I usually wear a size 34E-34F, but sized up to a 36/80 based on reviews. I definitely need a 34/75 in Comexim as the 36/80 is loose even when fastened on the tightest row. The cups seem to run smaller than the basic plunge that I ordered along with this one. This one ALMOST fits, so I’m exchanging it for a 34G(BoB sizing).
Today I was fortunate enough to try on this 60G Comexim Beauty Half Cup, from bratabase user cat_the_rat . The bra was shipped and arrived quickly in a smooth transaction. When I opened the package and saw the Bra In person, I felt so happy because it is such a beautiful bra, the construction and quality far surpassing any Victoria Secret Push Up bras I would have gotten a few years back. The bra did look a little smaller and more shallow than I pictured with the measurments, but with my weight loss I am smaller and I think slightly less projected than I ...was prior. The bra is Lightly Padded and has cookie pockets (although none came with this bra) and if I could obtain one, it would maybe be nice to add on my smaller side.
The fit. I have some 30FF 30G bras and 20G 20GG bras that are too big or Ill fitting as I've been losing more weight, so I hoped this bra would fit better and more like a 28FF or 28F but reminds me more of the cup volume of my 28E Cleo. I Am assymetrical, my right breast is smaller than my other by an inch all around so, this fits that brrast better with a little quad book effect with the other. I have less inner fullness than I did when Heavier, but I am still somewhat Center full,, wonder if an HH would have the depth I needed or not. The narrow wires are a breath of fresh air, I think wires under 6 fit me better. One breast (the right) is very narrow, the left somewhat narrow but because I am petite with narrow shoulders and only 4 ft 8 i think breast roots are comparatively more narrow (and shorter) in general. The Wires may overlap at the gore, which may be an alteration the origenal buyer ordered because they are closer than my swim top, which which love, but I may be mistaken. The 60 Band is good, Rarely can I wear a bra of any size and not wear it on the tightest hook. This one is 3 rows of 2, I had it on the loosest pictured but I would certainly want to move it in to the next one. I prefer 3+ Hooks but this is fine because it is so sturdy. The straps are actually a perfect distance apart and adjust enough and are my preferred thickness. I don't think the cup height is reduced, but luckily the cups are not too tall, which is great. The cup size is a little small but I feel like my brrasts are Fuller right now than usual. I may keep this bra in case I continue to lose weight and ot keep my eye out for a larger size depending on the measurments. This bra is beautiful, I just wish the cups were a little deeper and bigger, Otherwise it's all I want in a bra. Thank you so much cat_the_rat Read more 405 more words
I think you should try HH. I wear exactly 28F in UK manufacturers, for size reference, and I always find comexim 60 HH to be the best fit. Comexim 60H is always a hair too small. It's not a perfect conversion because occasionally I have a little too much cup room in the 60 HH, and once in a while I put a 60H on and it seems to look right in the fitting room, but every 60H I've ever bought, i have regretted.
I really think a 60H fits between E and F, and a 60 HH is between F and FF. So I think if you tried a 60 HH that would give you the fit that you mentioned you would like to find, a fit similar to 28F /FF!
Need to edit I wrote 60G at the start of this, it's 60H *
Thank you callie510! I have been losing weight so hard to find the right size when my chest size and shape has been slowly changing, but always assyemtrical. I mistyped in my review, this is the 60H not a 60G and I also just tried a 55HH which I think had a little more depth and height but also was way too small as well. (It was the Comexim Mint Plunge, although I kept thinking it was a half cup because it's so different than my hot chocolate Plunge and so much shorter/more narrow) I am wondering if I sized up if this would have enough depth at the inner wire. My best fitting similar bra is a Cleo UK28FF. This bra cup size sort of reminds me of my unlined 28E cleo that is too small especially on my bigger side. I just tried on a cleo 28FF Hettie, which wad a little big at the top, so I do think I am about a UK28F or 28FF depending on the bra. I just find this bra so beautiful that i hope I can find one that fits well enough, this one looks ridiculous when i scoop and swoop. I feel like this bra will be way too shallow and small even if I lose weight so I may rehome this on here. Thank you for sharing I'll use your experience to help guide my next purchase. :D
So I ordered this as a plunge but they made it as a 2HC.
My stats: 26GG/H according to the ABTF calculator, slightly FOT, firm tissue, tall and narrow roots, center full, close set and functionally high set.
Look: The style of this bra is gorgeous. It has blue embroidery all over the cups and cradle that resemble seashells. The straps and hardware are black and simple. I've been a huge fan of this style and this is my third yoko.
Fit: The fit of this is absolutely abysmal! The cups are more wide and shallow than VS, the straps are super far apart and the gore is too high ...and hurts even though it doesn't tack. I get quadboob worse than those ladies in completely historically inaccurate stays in bridgerton. It literally squashes the bottom half of my boob flat and pushes my boobs up to my neck. My nipples are out of the cup. So to sum up it's bad. Edit: it's so bad that I completely forgot to mention the terrible 6" wide wires that stab my armpit terribly. Also the band is TTS for comexim 55
Overall impression and ratings: Look: 9/10 Fit: 2/10 Comfort: 5/10 Quality: 6/10 Read more 90 more words
This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered straps,
Ordered as plunge but came as 2HC. Straps moved in 3cm, gore lowered 1.5cm
Love love this bikini. The fabric is eye catching. The print has the colors of aqua, navy, purple, lavender, white, with a silver metallic dot print mixed in.
The cup is a three part cup with the patterned fabric over a white cotton foam lined cup. The back band runs on the loose side like most of the other Comexim bikini tops I’ve tried. There is a single silver clasp at the back. The straps are a covered elastic using the same fabric with the hardware being white.
Bottoms in size Large: The bottoms are a hipster style with fuller back coverage. The inside is lined with a white ...bathing suit lining including the gusset. The elastic has even tension, so it doesn’t pinch my butt fat. Something I very much appreciate. These bottoms fit me great in the leg hole but feel just a tad lose at the top. I may be in between sizes, but if I size down I feel they may be too small in the leg hole. Over all I love the suit and can’t wait to hit the pool in it. Out of all the Comexim bikini’s I own this is my favorite. Read more 90 more words
The cup width is about the same as the 3HC 55HHS, but the cups are more projected. The difference is less than a cm (but I never know if I'm measuring accurately), but because of the shape, it's the difference between 3HC tight overspill vs slight fluffing on my larger side. Fits like the unlined plunge.
Should have asked to have the straps moved in since they are wider than I prefer. It's not quite the best fit so I'm trying a customized 55J next.
Update: I tried a 55J with reduced cups/gore and straps moved in. It's still too tall though, so the apex is too high on ...my smaller side. I think I'm in between sizes, and my ideal bra would be a 55J with extra reduced cups or a 55HH with extra depth. Since the 55J would be unwearable if not reduced enough, I might try a 55HH again sometime (esp since the wire width is fine, or will be with deeper cups).
Update 2: I asked Comexim how much they usually reduce cups, and if they could be reduced more. They said I could "write what the height of the cups should be," which is very intriguing, and that they could add about 1cm depth at the the wire.
Update 3: Apparently 55J with 2cm reduced cups fits better. Read more 113 more words
Oh! I love the look of this bra! :) Quick question - does the ribbon at the top show through clothing?
It showed up under tight jersey clothing, but it's less noticeable when not under changing room lights haha
Thx for your messurements and rewiev! I ordered the charme in 60HH but when I see your messurements I would have gone better with a 55L (or K) :/ It makes me a bit nervous now..
What size are you usually? I think 55M fits a 26J (I'm usually 26JJ)
Well I don't know wright now. Not having any bra that really fits right now.. the bestfitting bras have cup deepth from 22.5 - 24.5 cm.. This one has 25.4 (so that would be ~1size too big I think?)
Ah, I don't really know cup depths that well - though a normal 55M would probably be a bit bigger, since I had my one made with cups reduced so I think it makes it a smaller size, if that helps
I ordered a Basic plunge with reduced cups, straps moved in, and cookie pockets...and then they also added these alterations to the Rubin 🤦♀️
The cups are about 0.5cm wider and deeper than a regular 55H.
Update: They remade the bra and sent it to me. So I've found that an altered plunge is a better fit for me, but this is still wearable. 3HCs make me feel a little squished sometimes, but this is a little more comfortable since it's unpadded and therefore more flexible. Very pretty though.
I usually get XS briefs, but since they run small, I think an S would work too. For reference, I'm an Aerie XS.
Reduced cups 2cm, straps moved in, reduced gore 1cm. I ordered one plunge and one 3HC, but received two plunges, great lol.
The cup height is about 1cm shorter than the reduced cup 55J Rozalia I tried and about 0.5cm taller than my reduced cup 55HHs. So maybe the default reduction is 1cm and I should always request 2cm?
It's about 1cm deeper than my 55HHs (which are wearable, but I feel a little smushed by the end of the day). This size is a true fit for me, which means I should have gotten cookie pockets to pad my smaller side, so I'll probably only wear it on larger days and remember to request cookie pockets in the future.
I thought I would do this brief write-up on my ride or die bra, the Comexim Basic plunge. (consequently, I just googled "ride or die bra," and it's the actual name of a product).
This was actually my first Comexim that I ordered from Comexim.pl, and I ordered this before I even tried on any from BreakoutBras.com - which I highly recommend if you don't know your comexim size.
Looking at all of the data on bratabase, and the size chart on their website, I arrived at this size, and it only took about 3 weeks to get to get shipped to me in Canada! This ...was back in March though. Even though my back measurement was 29", I did size up in the band to the 32 - I believe I determined this by looking at their own size chart, at 71cm it put me in the 70 band.
Hmm, interesting. I found when I overlapped my two 70H plunges, Pearl Mint plunge and the Basic, https://www.bratabase.com/picture/dpyci/ they appeared the exact same pattern. So, I surmise the fabric of the Basic plunge is tougher/firmer, and therefore the fit is different. side note: if one wants "maximum boost" I say go for the Comexim basics! either the plunge or the 3-part half cup (3HC) basic, as I believe it is the strongest material, and thus you will get "max boost" of your breasts.
Lastly, I noticed that some people think that it's not a good enough t-shirt bra, and I'm honestly kind of confused, see pic here https://www.bratabase.com/picture/dm2cp/ Okay, the bratabase logo is right over where the seams are, but you honestly can hardly see the faintest of seams.
I think the band is extra firm on Comexim basic, I definitely need a 70 band is the basic plunge, but I was okay with a 65 band in a more silky fabric, like the Comexim Jasmine. Read more 265 more words
I fantasize about getting this bra as a basic t-shirt bra...but I need to finish losing weight (motivation?).
I am glad you mentioned the firmer fabric/band. Such differences are what you REALLY need to know when debating sizes/models for bras that are less "available" at bricks and mortar stores.
Also, loled at the "ride or die bra". :D
AllyBra , thanks for your comment! I'm glad you could laugh at my joke, lol.
I do notice some subtle differences btwn my Comexim plunges, & might do a little write up about that? Namely, the padding is lighter on my 70HH - Comexim » Arizona Plunge Bra (408) and my Comexim Pearl Mint Plunge. Which is good for summer, imo.
The padding is thicker on Comexim Basic Plunge, and my Charme Plunge that I just received. Charm plunge I want to wear only in Fall/Winter, it feels a bit thick to wear in summer.
Anyway, I think sometimes the Basic can be hard to fit sometimes, I'm glad you commented. Yes, I think it can feel both small in the cup and small in the band, compared to some of the other plunges.
It's a good sturdy bra! I'm not sure if I am drawn to the "nude" bra b/c I'm from a conservative background where you don't show a red brastrap (or something)?? I'm branching out to other colours, but I also like a beige bra for it's versatility.
6/26/2021 *Update: So I love this pattern so much I just repurchased this 65K since my 65J is too small in the cup. The cup at the straps are still a little wide for my liking, but since I sew, I’ll be moving the straps over for a better fit. I’ve also repurchased the panties in a size Large for a better fit. I personally don’t like panties that pinch my butt fat. Quad boob is bad, but quad booty is even worse lol.
8/25/2020 *Original review: Ugh. Unfortunately this bra is constructed just a little differently than the Basic Plunge. This bra has the straps spaced further apart, by almost a whole strap width, compared to the basic plunge. So, I get some unwanted gapping and armpit discomfort. I’ll be returning this. Highly debating ordering from Comexim direct and requesting straps moved in a few centimeters because I love this print. I’ve reviews this bra in a 65J and a 70J as well. The band on this bra fits TTS with a 3x4 closure.
The print is so nice. Too bad about the bra construction with straps too far apart. I hope you can reorder one with custom strap placement as it looks really great on you.
Love love the patterns! Kinda like wearing a piece of art. Super pretty bra! Gores almost overlap, gore height is a bit much for me but it's still comfortable because it's quite narrow. Narrow enough for me! Squishes my breasts, too shallow for me. Supposed to fit like a 26E/F. I'd suggest 55HH for a average to projected 26F in this style. Great quality, comfort. Band runs a bit smaller but it's not a problem for me. Super pretty and nice bra, wish it fit me better!
Disclaimer- still deciding if the 3 comexims are a perfect fit or not.
This is the first bra that I have ordered directly from Comexim. It was in their black Friday sale and I am really happy with it. I love the colour. Mine looks like the model on Comexim's website, without the black lace around the top of the cups which I've seen some pictures of on here.
I had done quite a bit of research to try and identify which Comexim size would be right for me. I have another Comexim plunge in a 65HH which was a quite tight and slight too big in the cup so I settled for 70G. I think it works, in this model at ...least!
I requested for the gore to be lowered and overlapping as I am very close set so bras with a high gore sit on my tissue and cause discomfort. The gore is still slightly higher than I would have liked, however I can push the wires down a little inside their casings and it seems to make it fit nicely. I compared the gore on this to my Queen of Hearts Plunge and it is much lower. I also requested a 3 hook fastener as I find a thicker band to be more comfortable.
I am projected so I often find that bras which have enough depth in the cup have wires which are far too wide. These wires are narrow and seem to be just right for me and the cup has enough depth.
Overall, I love it and want more in the same shape. I haven't had it for too long so will have to wait and see how it holds up. Read more 163 more words
