It feels and fits fine: the cup lacks a tiny bit of depth and the wire on the side is a bit low, likely because I could have sizes up (I am in between sizes in comexim), the gore is also a bit too narrow but I don't mind and it is normal with comexim bras. The narrowness fits though, maybe a tad narrow on my bigger side where I could have sized up. Also, the ginger is a perfect nude for us pale (ginger...?) humans! Tip: the organic cotton brief from organic basics in the shade 'oak' is a perfect match
Ordered with cookie pockets and 1cm extra depth at the wire. As always, unsure if extra depth was added and if I should even bother asking. This does fit slightly better than my unaltered 55J Basic (a little more closed than my new Ardea though)—still more on the cleavage fit side, but not uncomfortable.
Update: I do feel a little squished as the day goes on sometimes, especially on larger days. The altered plunges have been working out better. Will probably list all my 3HCs someday.
Mainly lacks a bit of cup depth and immediate projection: I've heard this is a common fit problem with comexim longlines, the cups being too shallow at the wire. Other than that the gore is a bit narrow but I have this problem with comexim in general and it doesn't bother me
I wonder if it's possible to request an "un-overlapped gore" as it's my understanding that Comexim gores used to be not overlapped, people kept request "overlapped gore" and now it seems like they all are...just some thought.
The cups fit fine, with slight quadding or gapping dependent on movement. The band is a tiny bit tight (my snug ub is 67, stretched band is 67) but fine.. My only remark is that the gore is too narrow, as comexim is known for their narrow gores.
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and struggling with bra fit. For context, I was a 32FF for a couple of years prior to getting pregnant with little to no change. My favorite bras were the Cleo Maddie, Cleo Skye, and Panache Underwire Sport. My breasts have definitely grown throughout my 2nd trimester - I now measure a 34G/GG according to A Bra That Fits and my 32FF bras clearly don't fit well.
After trying a few options in a 34G and 34GG in more commonly available brands (Panache, Elomi), I realized the wires in these sizes are scaled differently from the ... wide for my shape/frame. This led to dipping my toes into the world of Polish bras which I've been told typically have narrower wires.
I purchased the Comexim Whimsy Floral Nursing Stretch Lace Non-Padded Underwire Bra in 34HH for two reasons: 1) I'm looking at nursing bras in general with the hope I'll be able to use them while I am breastfeeding (assuming my size doesn't increase too much more, or comes back down at some point). 2) It was on final sale at Breakout Bras in a size that looked like it would work for me (comments on the site suggested to size up two cup sizes from your normal cup size - that would be a 34H or 34HH for me)
Overall, I am very happy with the fit of this bra. The wires are in fact more narrow which means they don't feel like they're on my back. They are actually near, but not on, my breast tissue. They also seem to allow for more projection at the wire which means the underwire actually sits in my IMF instead of getting pushed down.
My biggest issue with the bra is the colorway. The pattern definitely shows through some of my shirts which is frustrating when my wardrobe is already limited. I'm not sure if it comes in other colors, but that's something I'll look into.
I'd also appreciate any recommendations on other bras that may fit similarly to this one. Read more 238 more words
!!! It's so close! I think this is just a case of ordering the wrong size. The wires actually follow my inframammary fold however the cups gape at the top and despite ordering with overlapping wires, the gore is still too wide for me. I also had to try this bra on using the tightest hooks. The straps are too far apart for me and cut into the armpits. The bra seems really well made and the wires feel like they are made of plastic making them rather comfotable.
Ordered this as a 3HC, but got a plunge instead. The cup height is similar to a previously owned 55J Rozalia, which makes me wonder if that one actually had reduced cups.
Update: I asked Comexim if I could have a coupon code to reorder as a 3HC. They told me to just order and they would refund the cost of the bra (edit: ended up being a partial refund, once the order was shipped)
This was my first Comexim attempt ordered from Breakout Bras and it seems to be too small as it made me quad boob pretty bad. Band was also really snug when I got it at the time (was measuring around 29.5 tight). I was measuring a 30FF when I bought this and later bought some 30G Comexim plunges also from Breakout and found those to be a great fit until I changed sizes.
Gore is a lot higher than the other plunge styles I've owned. It ended up sitting really lopsided so I sent it back for another style. Extremely pretty, though!
(for an initial review of my first Comexim bra -a standard 80M plunge please see my Megan review) My first time getting a bra with adjustments from Comexim. After a few emails back and forth, I bought two different plunge bras and asked that they both be made in a longline 80M, with the following adjustments: “1. Bowl 1 cm deeper
2. Move the straps 2 cm in
3. Can you also make a narrower and shorter gore? The cups were slightly too far apart
4. Can you use narrower wires? The outside wire of the cup was about 3 cms from my breast tissue, but I filled the volume ...of the cup”
#1 was previously discussed to be adding projection/depth to the cup near the wire- I think it was misunderstood as to be adding an inch of depth/height in the wire.
Initial try on thoughts: they did not seem to change the gore at all. The wires are not closer or crossing and also doesnt appear lower. If I have the fabric sit where it covers me well, the wires dont sit in my IMF. I can fit 3-4 fingers between the bottom wire and my root tissue (although I need that give in the fabric cup- if that were simply made into the band, the cup would not be big enough. I can also fit 3-4 fingers between the wire and my outside root tissue.
If I attempt to hike up the wire to my IMF, the outside wire attempts to stab me in the armpit. I cant get the bra fully in my IMF because I cant unattach my arm. Trying to hold it higher, I also begin to get a lot of gapping in the top/outer cup. The longline also tends to roll, just the very bottom elastic, despite my waist being the same measurement as my underbust. I was hoping it would spread out the tension I get where the bottom part of gores of other bras sort of turn to stab me in the chest. It does seem to be spreading out that pressure despite rolling. There’s something scratchy about the bottom hook of 5, like an unfinished glued edge? The green material sort of feels like swimsuits? Or costumey? And is more green than the teal I thought it was in the pictures. Sort of a Jade color. Maybe close to this? https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/7480-C, where the picture looked more like this https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/3262-C
As for how the alterations went: It is a longline, although the elastic rolls at the very bottom. The bowl does seem different, but largely because of where the wires now sit, it actually lost depth by measurements. The straps may have been moved but not enough, although 2 cm’s is the max they would do. The gore seems unchanged. The wires seem changed, but worse? (They’re an inch longer, so I wonder if that was the cup depth they added? Thinking I meant cup height in the wire, not projection by the wire? They are also .25 narrower at the top of the cup, but still almost 2 inches too wide)
I wonder if getting a bra sister sized to like an 70 O but then altered or used with extenders to get the band back to an 80 would work better than asking for more specific cup alterations to an 80M, or if this just wont work for me. I still seem to have too skinny of a frame compared to the width of the cups/wires and straps. Due to the longline, this gore is not turning sideways or stabbing me, although the elastic at the bottom of the longline constantly flips up. The wires are just way off.
Quality: For as much effort as ordering custom international stuff is, I'm a little disappointed with this materials feel-like half scuba? and that one of the loops is already pulled crooked/loose after one try-on. There's also an issue with the end of the row of hooks, the fabric seam is either melted or glues together and a little scratchy. Everything else seems really durable.
Comfort: short-term less comfy than my unaltered one, since the wire's just way too long and jabs both my under arm and into my torso instead of laying in my IMF. No issue with the gore stabbing me for once. Long term im not sure if those issues will be better or worse than the gore turning and the bottom sort of stabbing issues I've had with previous bras.
Appearance: not quite the color scheme I thought I was ordering. The black and green isnt quite as sharp as the teal and black I thought I was getting. It'd be nicer looking if it fit right, but overall it looks good. I dont particularly care for the black bows
Update: 10 months: I have never worn this for a full day. I've worn it for a couple quick five minute tasks outside where I want a bra on, and every other one was in the laundry. This is essentially an emergency back-up only because it's so uncomfortable to wear, but I feel the need to have a bra on to go outside. I'm still attempting to decide if Im going to try to sew my own thing with some of the materials, or sell/donate it. Read more 775 more words

Altered band,
Asked Comexim for the following alterations: 1. Bowl 1 cm deeper (at the wire) 2. Move the straps 2 cm in 3. Can you also make a narrower and shorter gore? The cups were slightly too far apart 4. Can you use narrower wires? The outside wire of the cup was about 3 cms from my breast tissue, but I filled the volume of the cup 5. Longline
This is the 3HC, not the plunge. The previous owner was mistaken. It fits shallow and gives a weird / shape. The fabric is insanely soft, the colors remind me of Cinderella but the rose reminds me of Beauty and the Beast, definitely a princess bra! I'm not a huge fan of it due to the shape. It does have a ton of immediate projection though.
Alterations: reduced cups and straps moved in. Also requested 1cm extra depth at the wire; unsure if it was done.
Unfortunately—and hilariously—this actually fits worse than my previous Karina, which had reduced cups only. It's almost 1cm less projected. I don't know if moving in the straps causes that much difference, or if my previous Karina just happened to be larger.
Anyway, if it's helpful, I've found that the unlined bras fit like the padded ones (I've tried the balcony and 3HC). Considering getting this in a 3HC because I'm about over all the alterations I need for the plunges, even though I like the shape more 😂

UK 28FF/G. My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full. Wow, I normally hate the appearance of brakinis but this one is really cute. It fits similar to the 60J tosca that I tried on in which there's very minor gapping near the center and the straps are a little wide set (by like 1-2 cm). The treasure is also a little wide on the sides. I would love to get my own in 60K or 60J so I can get more cleavage and cut the straps to make a halter.
Alterations: reduced cups, reduced gore, straps moved in, cookie pockets. As always, not quite sure if they were done? But I think so, since the cup height is about the same as an unaltered 60H that I tried recently.
Unfortunately, the apex of this is too high on my smaller side so it kind of caves in 😂. I'd need to add a full pad, not just a little cookie. 55HH with reduced cups was a better fit (a smidge too small in volume, but not too uncomfortable) in terms of cup height.
Update: 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.

I ordered this bra so I could try to figure out Comexim sizing before ordering directly from Comexim (possibly with alterations). The cups seem to be too tall and possibly too big which is interesting because I have a Gloria in a 28H from Breakout Bras that fits pretty well other than needing an overlapping gore and I believe a 28H is equivalent to a 60K Comexim? My best guess is that it may be because it's an older model Comexim. Even though it didn't quite fit the bra itself is super comfortable as is every Comexim I've tried.
Favorite bra ever. I ordered it on a whim because I needed a black bra and the first 30G I got from Breakout Bras (the size I had been wearing) was way too small in the cup and too big in the band so I exchanged it for a 28H and it fits so well! Band is still a tad loose for a 28 and I do probably need an overlapping gore but overall extremely happy.
I wonder if it's possible to request an "un-overlapped gore" as it's my understanding that Comexim gores used to be not overlapped, people kept request "overlapped gore" and now it seems like they all are...just some thought.
