I have a handful of Comexim plunges, all in 60HH -- if one thing can be said about these bras, they are for the most part incredibly consistent. They fit my FOB, center-full, soft breasts incredibly well (it is worth noting that my breasts are about 3 fingers-widths apart, but the cups are relatively close-together -- this does not make the bra uncomfortable and I don't notice it, visually or otherwise, during wear). I normally wear UK 28Fs, so if anyone is confused about Comexim sizing, I had luck staying with the same band and sizing up 2 cups (60HH is equivalent to a 28G)!!
Even prettier in reality than in the photos on the website, the fabric is quite soft and not scratchy - non of that scratchy netting-like fabric which 65G - Comexim » Ingrid Plunge Bra (289) and 65G - Comexim » Elena Half Cup (312) had on the outside (which scared me of from Comexim for a good while). Lightly padded - just the way I like it! Best fitting and most comfortable bra I've tried so far, Still not 100% though! (my ribcage is straighter than what this bra is made for - same with every other bra I've tried)
Came with a few loose threads and a small gray mark on the inside of a left cup, which made me put the quality as good instead of excellent.
I bought it in size 60J because my comexim bras before was size 60HH and they gave me slight quadboob appearance. Why didn't I buy a new one in size 60I? 😂 I forgot there is "I" between H and J when I made an order.... I don't know what to do. If any one wants to exchange or buy it, please tell me.
This bra's measurements have been altered
Raise a center gore by 1cm, change to 3 x 4 hook and eye and remove two ribbons on the straps.
Comexim actually doesn’t do I cups! They do single letters except for HH, which replaces I. If HH was too small then J should be right; sounds like one of your bras was made inconsistently.
Oh really? That explains a lot... Thanks! I might need to go back to 60HH. It gave me minor quadboob but 60J is definitely too big.
After my success with my Comexim direct order, I decided to branch out and order a few other fits other than the Padded Plunge. I haven't found much info comparing the fit of the Padded Plunge to the 3HC, but I reached out to Breakout Bras and asked them if I should size up or down since I am between sizes 60G and 60H. They recommended sizing down to 60G and said that the depth is comparable in the two cuts, but the open cup could accommodate any additional fullness. Other wearers seem to indicate that they wear their normal size in both cups. ...However, since Breakout Bras only had the 60H in stock, I decided just to try that size and see how it went.
I was really surprised when I received this bra to find that it runs extremely shallow. The shape of the bra is not what I expected from a 3HC, which I thought would be a very rounded cup shape. In reality, this bra is very flat and shallow. It lacks immediate projection at the wire and projection at the center of the cup. The upper cup closes back in very slightly, just enough to minimize gapping. It is not as open or as rounded as most open cup bras. I recently reviewed the Masquerade Angie, which I commented is a very shallow 3HC . . . this one is even shallower in cup depth!
At first, I thought that the minimizing effect of the cups could be due to a band that's too tight and cups that are too large. Before measuring the bra, I tried it on with an extender as well, but the extender did not improve the flat appearance of the cups. I confirmed that the band measurement of my bra is exactly the same of all of my other 60 band Comexims (except the Celebration, which came in 2-3 cm smaller than normal). When I am fully scooped into the bra, it fits my larger side very well, and fits my smaller side ok as well. It would look better on me with the cup height reduced 1.5-2 cm, but overall this is the correct cup size for me. The wires fit perfectly, and I really struggle with wires of 60G in all the styles I've tried.
Yes, it fits, but I hate the shape it gives me. If I were to try a 3HC style again, I would ask for reduced cups and maybe 2 cm total increase in depth. The straps on this style are closer set than on the Padded Plunge because the cup height is already shorter, but I'd ask for them to be moved in a bit further. I do get a bit of gapping when I move, but this is attributed to the tall cups and wide straps.
After browsing the photo gallery for 3HC styles, I am thoroughly perplexed. Some users' bras fit just like mine did, with a flattened minimized effect but with no fit issues from the cup being a size too small. Others seem to get a very rounded and full appearance in this bra, but when I tried this on with silicone inserts, it just made the cup too small but still oddly shaped. I suspect that this style suits the FOT ladies better, especially ones who don't need much immediate projection at the wire.
The styling of this bra is almost identical to the Basic Plunge. However, this particular bra has a plain black elastic strap compared to the textured elastic on my Padded Plunge, which is probably due to manufacturing batch differences as I got this one through Breakout Bras. The fabric on both is the same light satin, and the upper cup trim is the same narrow lace. The simple bows are a little bit different between the two bras, but overall they are very much sisters.

Anyway, I don't think the Comexim measurements on Bratabase are good references. Because according to this post, there can be a huge difference for the same labeled bra.
Agreed, I didn’t find the measurements on Bratabase to be reliable for me in determining Comexim measurements (except for the band), so I just ordered styles to try and asked Breakout Bras for advice. But sometimes they are wrong too.
I have the same problem with Ewa in my size and it’s really impossible to determine the right size based on measurements here, unfortunately.
It seems that sewing has a lot to do with the 3HC shape, and I think that’s probably why I also notice slightly different fits in the padded plunge even when measurements are identical. The sewn cups just don’t have the same consistency as a molded foam one.
I reached out to Joanna to ask her if she thinks requesting additional depth and shortened cups will help, or if the shape of the bra is really not suited to me. This is a good example of how I used to think I was shallow, but bras with truly shallow cup shapes NEVER fit me because I need immediate projection.
This is the third time I’ve tried Lorraine. This time I think I can safely say it actually fits. I complained about my other two not staying in my IMF, cups being too tall, straps being too wide. But I’ve recently figured out I’ve been wayyyy overshooting my Comexim size - my index size apparently works just fine in their plunges - so I think previous issues I’ve had with this model were just down to too large of cups, not shallowness at the wire or immediate projection or anything like that.
I put this bra on this morning: it’s now evening and I almost forgot I was wearing it. That’s a win for me.
My most recent Comexim order from Breakout Bras has been quite hit or miss. Out of the three bras I ordered, the Andromeda is the one I've wanted for the longest. I had been drawn to this style immediately when I came across the Breakout Bras Comexim section, but as it is one of the more expensive styles, I didn't want to order this before I was sure of my size.
Thankfully, when it came time to order this, Breakout Bras reduced the price AND had a 25% off sale going on. Thus, ordering from them as about the same price as ordering from Comexim directly ...during a sale, so I snagged my current size of 60H and crossed my fingers that the cups wouldn't run big or fit funny.
Luckily, this is actually my best fitting Padded Plunge style in 60H! I've noticed that the bras seem to fit a little differently based on the fabric, even though the foam used is the same, and the measurements are the same. It seems that some of the bras hold their shape better, while others become slightly distorted, despite the same band measurement. The Andromeda, with its thicker fabric, seems to be more stable in the cup, and this style along with Ingrid seem to fit a little better than Basic, which seems a bit floppier.
The fabric of this bra is once again different from my other Comexims. It seems to be a lightly peached satin microfiber, and the print is a marbled purply grey/light grey/pink combination. I thought this fabric was going to be a darker toned satin, but it is still lovely. It seems to be an update of the older style Luna, which was a marbled grey print in microfiber as well. However, the trims on this bra are very simple. There's no lace at the upper cup, the straps are plain purply-grey with picot edges, hardware is pink plastic, and the bows are square and made of two tone ribbon. Honestly the bows are my least favorite part of this bra as I don't think they really suit the style.
In terms of fit, this is really similar to my other Comexims in 60H except that the cups are more stable and I get a little less gapping than on other styles despite the same tall cups and wide-set straps. The 60H cup width and depth are perfect for me, but as the fullest portion of the cup is a little higher than my natural shape, I have some emptiness at the top of the cup on my smaller side. When I move, I can also see some gapping at the top of both cups that doesn't occur in the 60G. The taller cups also mean that the side of the cup and strap cause a little chafing. My hunch is that the problem is driven by the cup height because the cup width, depth, and wire measurements are pretty much the same as all of my other best fitting padded cup bras so far, and I get a pretty good fit on my larger side when I don't move my arms in.
The only thing other than the cup height that I don't love about this fit are the overlapping wires at the gore. I find overlapping wires to be a bit unstable on my body, because although my breasts are right next to each other with no gap, my splayed roots work better with standard gores of about 1"/2.5 cm. This gore is extremely narrow, about half of the width I am used to, so it takes some extra positioning on my body to sit properly.
The band is TTS and in my experience, only one of 9 Comexim bras in a 60 band came in off-spec, so I would suggest ordering your normal band size. This style is fully covered in printed fabric just like the Ingrid, so the band is double lined with stretch tricot for stability. The band and cups makes this a comfortable bra that feels supportive and gives great shaping. I am very happy with this additional Comexim style, and I can't wait for them to reopen so I can order more styles in 60H with customizations! Read more 610 more words
The Whimsy is the first unpadded Comexim bra I've tried. Since I am between 60G and 60H in regular Comexim styles, I asked Breakout Bras whether I should size up or down in this style. I was told to size down to my smaller size because the upper cup's stretch lace would work to accommodate asymmetry. However, they did not mention to me that the cup runs much deeper and taller than their padded styles. As a result, this cup fits much larger than expected and didn't work on me.
The band is nicely true to size, measuring exactly the same as most of my ...Comexim bras (except the Celebration, which came in 2-3 cm smaller than normal). The wings are all and firm, made from the same powermesh that is used on the Basic styles. The cups are made from printed tricot that has a little bit of give. The upper cup is double layered, with stretch grey lace over white mesh, and there is a strip of elastic at the edge that has just the right amount of tension to sit nicely on the body.
However, the problem with this bra is that it is proportioned completely differently from other Comexim padded styles. Not only is the cup much taller than the Padded Plunge, the bottom cup is also much taller, so the fullest part of the cup hits higher than normal. The cup measurements are also much deeper than normal. The bottom 2/3 of the cup fits me, while the entire upper 1/3 is empty. In addition, when I added my Commando Takeouts silicone inserts, I could only get this bra to fit if I added the inserts to the top rather than to the bottom. Thus, this won't work for FOB shapes. This would only suit very FOT shapes with tall roots.
I also found that the wires in this size were so narrow that they actually pinched me and were quite painful. They seem a bit firmer than the wires on my other Comexim bras, and the shape is more of a deep U/J than a gentler C curve. Another difference in the construction is that this is a 4 piece cup with side sling, though the side panels are not as restrictive as I've found Fantasie Side Support styles to be. The gore is also lower on this style than the Comexim Padded Plunge. The fit reminds me of some of the Freya 3 piece balcony bras where the wires are a bit too narrow for me and the cups are too deep, but to the extreme.
The rest of the bra is simple in detail, with a graphite bow at the gore and strap attachments, and textured white straps that match the solid band. The cups and cradle are made of the same floral printed fabric. All hardware is white plastic. It seems like a very comfortable summer bra if it suits your shape, but I think this style will be rather tricky to fit as you cannot just order your standard Comexim size if you are not the right shape for this bra. If I had ordered the 60H (28FF), the wires would have fit better, but the cups would have been even more ridiculously large and tall.
Sadly, this is going to have to be returned, and since there's not much info on other Comexim unlined styles in my size range, I might have to pass on these styles in the future. Read more 489 more words
I have been obsessing over the Comexim Ingrid forever, ever since I first came across this bra. Since it's no longer available through Breakout Bras, I thought that it would be out of my reach as I didn't feel comfortable blindly ordering from Poland until I knew what size to confidently order, as during my initial research, I had put together a wide list of potential sizes and had no idea where to start. Thanks to my experience ordering Comexim standard plunge cuts through Breakout Bras, I felt pretty sure that 60G was a little too small and I'd do better in 60H. So, after ...a long and arduous wait, I received my long-anticipated Ingrid 6 weeks after placing an order with Comexim.
Originally I had concerns that the cup height would be a little too tall in 60H, but I decided to skip alterations for this first order in order to correctly assess the standard size and fit. However, it turns out my instincts were correct. While the 60G in the standard plunge cut is too small for me in terms of wire size and projection, the height was better. The 60H cup width and depth are perfect for me, but as the fullest portion of the cup is a little higher than my natural shape, I have some emptiness at the top of the cup on my smaller side. When I move, I can also see some gapping at the top of both cups that doesn't occur in the 60G. The taller cups also mean that the side of the cup and strap cause a little chafing. My hunch is that the problem is driven by the cup height because the cup width, depth, and wire measurements are pretty much the same as all of my other best fitting padded cup bras so far, and I get a pretty good fit on my larger side when I don't move my arms in.
Thus, in terms of sizing, I will plan to ask for 1.5 cm reduction in cup height and straps moved in 1 cm, which should give me the right wires and cup volume without the cups coming up too high on my body. Other than this, the shape of the cups is awesome and fits my shape well. The taller cups even play well with my tall roots, so I am thrilled with the overall fit of the Comexim standard plunge!
The band of my bras in this order all measured 54 cm, with one bra coming in slightly shorter at 53 cm. This matches perfectly with the average band length for this size according to the data here, so I am happy that the bands came in TTS to my expectations, as I had heard that the bands have been running smaller as Joanna tries to standardize them to their size chart. Based on my experience, I would recommend ordering your UK band size and add 2 cups to your index cup size, then converting to the Comexim cup size chart. So, for me, my normal size 28E converts to 28:6, which becomes 28:8 in Comexim, or 60H. This is much more accurate than their size chart, which tells me I should be in 65G or 70E as my underbust measurement is kind of between 65 and 70. The bra came with 4 hooks, which I appreciate. On me, this band size feels perfect for my 26.5" underbust, and I love that the leotard back keeps the band nice and low.
The only thing other than the cup height that I don't love about this fit are the overlapping wires at the gore. I find overlapping wires to be a bit unstable on my body, because although my breasts are right next to each other with no gap, my splayed roots work better with standard gores of about 1"/2.5 cm. This gore is extremely narrow, about half of the width I am used to, so it takes some extra positioning on my body to sit properly.
As far as styling goes, the Ingrid has a very pretty vintage English rose aesthetic that I love. The fabric is actually printed mesh over the cotton cups, which I didn't expect, as all of my other Comexim bras have been the shiny poly/spandex disco pant fabric. It's hard to tell the real fiber content of these bras, as all of the bras I ordered had the exact same label, and they are all made of different fabrics. A little odd, but not something I would worry about. I was a little surprised about the mesh though, and I would have a slight preference for satin rather than this fabric as I felt it would suit the style better.
In terms of trims, I feel that Comexim is a bit more simplistic compared to other brands, which helps to keep the costs down. My Basic Plunge in Beige shares the same upper cup lace, picot edged band elastic, textured strap elastic, and dyed to match plastic hardware. Simple ribbon bows decorate the gore and strap attachment, with no blingy charms to speak of.
In general, I am very pleased with my first Comexim direct order and can't wait to order more bras with the lowered cup height and moved in straps. This is an awesome fit on me and I am so glad that I took the plunge to try these bras! Read more 820 more words
I love this bra! I got it from Breakout Bras. It fits like my other 60K Comexim plunges, which means tight band and narrow, projected cups that are a smidge tall for me but taper in nicely to prevent gaping. The colours are rich and gorgeous. I got the matching panties in a Medium and they are really comfy.
Wow, so it turns out Comexim plunges fit me just fine if I don’t completely overshoot my size, who would have guessed? This may be controversial, but I’m honestly beginning to wonder if the common idea that Comexim cups are way too tall and need to be reduced or otherwise altered for almost everyone is a bit overblown and may even be the result of people choosing sizes that are just plain too big.
30:7 is my general size range at the moment, so the general community advice for Comexim plunges with my frame and size range would be to size up one cup to 30:8 (65H) and ask for moved in straps and reduced cups. However, this 28:8 fits great and is in no way too tall or wide set in the straps. To my knowledge, it has no alterations.
It’s really pretty and I’m glad I found it, even though it’s aging a bit.
Ordered directly from Comexim in size 55HH (custom size) and asked to the straps to be moved in 2cm.
This is a great bra for my narrow/tall roots, even, center full, projected boobs. The wires sit right in my IMF with no extra space even on the sides. The bad was a little tight the first few wears, but totally wearable with an extender and after the first few wears it stretched out. Other than that, it's a really comfortable bra. My only complaint is that the seams are a little thick and thus visible through shirts and even thinner sweaters.
This bra also gives a more rounded shape than my Ginger or Gloria Plunge. The fabric is gorgeous and construction impeccable, as always.
My shape is low set, short and narrow rooted, and soft.
This is originally a longline bra that I had made into a 3HC. I also got straps moved in 1 cm and an overlapping gore. I've been eyeing if for sometime, and decided to give it a go. I was waffling back and forth on this one or the Matthiola, and I kinda wish I'd gone with the Matthiola since I have a few darker ones at this point (and a recent spree of green bras)- but I'm sure this one will get lots of wear. I also ordered the matching thong (2 pairs) in size Medium. My ...hips measure about 36-36.5" up high on the hip, and abouy 38.5" down low around the widest part of my bum. The bottoms are adjustable with straps, so if your hips are wider, you can let out the elastics if you need to (see pictures).
The bra gives that nice, almost minimized rounded shape that I love about Comexim's Half Cups. I almost quad if I stand straight, but it fits how I like - without any gapping even when I move around. The cups feel slightly shallow near the underwire, but for some reason this still works for me. They are a bit wide, but my tissue just squishes to fill the space, so I don't notice it. The straps are extra wide, which I usually get when I order a J cup. They feel supportive and adjust long enough for me. There are 4 sets of 3 hooks, and I am wearing this bra with 1 row of extender in this picture because when I did it up without the extender it felt like it was putting too much tension on the band. I'm sure it'll stretch out and I'll be able to wear it without the extender pretty soon. It wasn't too small exactly, just too snug for my liking on a new bra. There is a red trim along the cups upper edge, but it doens't make the cup close in at all - it's just decorative - no elastic or anything in it. The cups materials is a smooth cotton feel on the outside that almost feels like satin. It might still stick to shirts, but I wear loose things so no worries.
Overall excellent quality, comfort and appearance. Comexims are always super comfortable right out of the box! Read more 293 more words
This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered band,
Altered straps,
Made as a 3HC instead of a longline, straps moved in 1 cm, overlapping gore, made in a 60 band
This bra was a gamble. I had wanted to try another soft cup Comexim. While I am not normally a 60, I gathered that this bra was pretty stretchy in the band and might fit closer to a 65.
The bra is a beautiful mix of sheer black and beige mesh with black velvet flowers. It’s a lovely pattern. The cut was intended to be a 3HC but it is, in fact, a 2HC.
While it’s a snug band, I can do it up, but it would be more comfortable with an extender. It’s a 4x3 tape and the extra row helps, as does the taller band. ...The 3 hooks just seems to help distribute the tension better. The straps are actually quite wide, but silky. They adjust long enough for me with average to high set boobs. The strap placement, on the other hand, is quite wide. They are pretty much eating my armpits. The cup height, depth, gore details are all fine except that it’s just not flattering on me. I’m not sure what it is but it’s not good. Is it because it’s a 60 band? Or maybe a 2HC?
Whatever the reason, it’s just not a good match for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 103 more words

How does the wire width and projection compare to the lined 3HC's of the same size or its sister sizes? Thanks!
This one is unlined. I’m not really sure. I tried a 65HH Bridget 3HC from the same user and it was miles away better. I have a 70H lined 3HC but it’s a little bit small so a little hard to compare. I do have all the measurements.
I don’t think it was super wide or shallow but I also haven’t worn it much. It feels like it’s decent projection for a 2 part cup.
The straps are too wide set coz the band is too small, so basically you’re forcing the bra to close so the straps are running to the sides to stick with the band. I believe you’d be fine in bigger band size as the band would do so much work. Overall the bra looks really pretty! From pics this looks better than Tara IMO 😄
Calluna Thank you! I have an unlined 3HC in 60HH and am thinking of getting another one in 60J but worried that it will be too deep.
kate166 , my measurements are always taken with a bit of tension, if that helps you any. It’s closer to 9” if don’t flex it some. But I flex it some because on the body it will have some tension from the band.
martka00 i thought this might be the case, and I tried to use an extender, but it wasn’t a remedy. Maybe a 65 or 70 band would fit better. But it’s possible that it is wide set like this because it’s a 2 part cup instead of 3.
extender wont fix the thing. I've been through this and always ended up letting go the too small bra. But that was my experience. I think 2 part vs 3 part wouldnt make any difference - but I might be wrong. Worth asking Anna or Joanna about that?
Maybe. It’s listed. I’m more interested in finding out more the padded sizes right now. I’m waiting on a reply from Anna about the fit of the two I got recently.
I actually love this bra, but unfortunately it just doesn’t fit me. It is shallower at the wire than Comexim’s plunges or 3HCs, so when I tried it on it just pushed me right out of the top. The band is also too tight on me, which I had known was likely; I was surprised when it came up as a recommendation from the Bratabase because I usually wear a 65 in Comexim band, but I thought maybe the band on the Mimi Half Cup was just very stretchy. So far in my experience and based on the measurements, I would say it is not an excessively stretchy band. If Comexim 65s are too big for you, this 60 would probably be perfect. One style thing to note is that on the stock photo the Mimi had two black bows on the gore, one above the other, but the one I received just had one bow with double loops.
I got this one to use as an everyday, practical, workhorse bra. I hoped the modifications would make it perfect, and the fit is pretty good, but not perfect. Cups are still wider than I need and the straps are still widely placed and in my armpits a little. The overall cup size is good but there still isn't quite enough projection above the wire so the wires sit about 3/4 inch below my IMF. Compared to my Yellow Bird which I ordered in the same size with the same modifications, it fits similarly but the cups seem a smidge shorter (which is a good thing) and the band is tighter. I can barely get it to stretch to 25". The overall comfort is pretty good except for it eating my armpits and pushing into my ribs as it rides down. Overall, this bra looks good and gives me that 'locked and loaded' feeling that I like.
This bra's measurements have been altered
straps moved in 2 cm, cup height reduced, cookie pockets added
It still looks pretty good though. Maybe a different set of alterations to include more depth at the bottom would fit better.
Thanks! I might try asking for more depth at the wire next time. I wonder if I'd still have to size up with that or if I could get away with a K??
The cup height looks good on this one. Did you ask for the straps to be moved in? Looks good on you. Can't believe the band only stretches to 25" though...that's not even a 55 band! I just ordered another 60J 3HC from Comexim... the band better stretch to at least 27" otherwise I'll have to start ordering 65" bands again.
Yes, I asked the straps to be moved in for all 3 of them. I'm not sure any of them were, though. They are all in my arm pits. I also don't think cup height was reduced on the Yellow Bird, but I think it was on this one. Most of the new 60 bands I get from Comexim seem to average about 26". I have had one or two that were 28" and a couple of 25". Which new 3HC did you order?
I ordered an older one that I've always had my eye on. I got the Diane in a 3HC (not a longline) and matching thongs in medium. I hope I like it in person (sometimes pictures can be deceptive). I didn't want the straps on the Aida, and I wanted another padded half cup. I almost ordered the matthiola instead, but changed my mind at the very last minute. I hope the band stretches enough...
Diane is lovely. You will have so many gorgeous prints! I do love a beautiful bra. :)
I keep looking at Matthiola. There’s so many great prints.
Yeah I've almost ordered it twice now... don't know why I keep on hesitating!
I know why I have. It looks a lot like the Belen with the piping on top and I’m not sure about that part of the fit. I’m worried about it showing through. Maybe if it’s got the same mauve lace my Triss has. Or maybe I just need the right size and alterations. The other issue is that I simply don’t wear a lot of light colours. But it’s a stupid reason. I do sometimes get worried about a darker colour rubbing off or bleeding onto the light colour. Again, kinda paranoid and not the best reason. The last reason is that I like other ones better. But it doesn’t mean that I dislike it. I still do, but I have to prioritize all my likes. You know?
This was my first Comexim order. I decided to go with the Ingrid bra since I thought the pattern was very pretty. The only thing I don't like that much is the bow on the gore. My close set boobs just smush it and it isn't really visible. It's probably fairly easy to remove it though. I just haven't bothered.
I asked to have the straps moved in 2 centimeters but they're still pretty wide set so I don't think they did it. I believe the bra is a size too small for me so I spill out a little bit. The cups also keeps sliding down after I've ...worn it for a while. I've read that might be caused by not enough immediate projection or just a too small cup size. I've heard Comexim has narrow cups but they're not quite narrow enough for me. The wideness doesn't bother me but I could do with cups that are a centimeter or so narrower. The wire sometimes hurt a bit, though I believe that's because the cups are too small. The gore on this bra doesn't really bother me at all but I think it could still be a bit more narrow.
Overall it's certainly an upgrade from the bra I was wearing before even if it's not a perfect fit. I've ordered the bra in 65M with the straps moved in 2 centimeters and the gore narrowed. This time I got an email asking if I knew that bras with alterations couldn't be returned which I'm hoping means they'll actually do the alterations this time. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 163 more words
This is a bra I've had for about a year or so and forgot to review. I actually really like it even though it's a bit too small. It fits my small side really well and is very comfortable. The fabric is soft and smooth and the band is snug enough for me. It has nice, narrow cups and great projection. It's simple and pretty too, and I can pair it with black or red undies.
I love the shape and projection. But my breasts are spilling out of the top. Three hooks in the back gives a lot of support. Would you suggest I go up in cup size?
Model is Celebration. It’s a Breakout Bras exclusive.
Thank you! Calluna I bought mine from Poshmark .
Is 34F your normal UK size? If so, definitely size up. My friend is a 34F and got her bras (3HCs) in 34 H. That said, plunges tend to fit bigger than 3HC so 34GG UK would be like 75J I think. But judging by the amount of spilling, I’m not sure if you need to go up that much. Sorry for the confusion. It’s tough because Comexim is scaled by 2cm per cup size increase instead of an inch which is 2.4cm. So cups are going to fit small. And the cup progression is EU so they have no double letters except for HH instead of I. So the bigger size you are, the bigger the cup increase you’re going to need.
It looks a little bluer here, but this is it. Bottoms are also available. braluv has one of these if you wanna switch your data to the proper bra.
I was just trying these bras based on my measurements and to get a starting point. I have lost 20 lbs in the past 6 months and trying to re-figure my bra size. I am not sure my regular UK size. I do understand your point and appreciate your input. If I use index sizing. I may be 34:8,34:9, or 34:10, would you agree?
Thanks again Calluna I corrected it when you informed me the first time :)
Are your measurements on your profile up to date? I’m guessing that you probably need the equivalent of 34:10 in this but 34:9 might work with a little oomph spilling. 😂
Edit: I misread the index size. I think maybe a 34:9 index would fit.
I just updated my measurements today actually. Not sure how that translates into my index size.
I would size up one, but probably two cup sizes in this. You can buy this at breakout bras if you live in the us and they have a great returns policy and good customer service.
Agreed with cupandahalf you might be able to get size help from them too.
This is another Hot Chocolate from Breakout Bras' recent final sale. BoB apparently custom orders special tags from Comexim with UK sizing, as 34K is the only size shown on the tag or label. Their recommendation is to size up two cups from your regular UK size, or one for more "vavoom." I usually wear a 34J and they happened to have one left at 34K, so I snagged it to try.
By the measurements, it looks like this would be the right size for me - it's pretty close to a 34J Elomi Morgan in cup width, depth, and height. In actuality it doesn't fit. With some ...extra scooping and swooping I *just about* fill out the cups, but the shape is all wrong for me. It spreads out horizontally and makes my breasts look like round sourdough loaves, lol. I measured the top lip of the cup from gore to strap, and it was just over 9.5", whereas the Morgan is only 6", so I think this would work better for someone who needs a lot more width on the top? The cups and the gore seemed like they were tipped forward, like there wasn't enough tension on the top of the band. The gore was far from tacking and the bra gave me a little bit of butt-crack cleavage. This is the first seamed, padded bra I have ever owned, and the other one I recently tried, the CK Day Dreamer, has a similar shape and lean, so I don't know if this is kind of how this style is typically cut.
The stretched band measured 36", but even though that is my approximate loose underband measurement, I couldn't even clasp it without an elastic extender.
I double and triple checked the cup width, because on paper it's the same as the Morgan, but the Hot Chocolate cuts across breast tissue on the sides, at least when my arms are down. If I lift my arms up, it follows the curve perfectly. Guess I'll have to walk around like that, haha. The wires slid down as much as any (all) other bras on me and the shape lost some of its lift. Despite all this, it was perfectly comfortable over a few hours wear. It's also a looker with a black mesh covered with a rich, warm rust-brown colored lace. But not to be for me.

Comexim actually doesn’t do I cups! They do single letters except for HH, which replaces I. If HH was too small then J should be right; sounds like one of your bras was made inconsistently.
