This really is a beautiful bra. It’s a nude bra with a black lace overlay and eyelash lace details on the sides. The cups are narrow and projected. The band feels firm right now, but it will probably stretch with wear. The straps were altered to move in 2cm. Overall, it’s a very comfortable bra except for one thing – it’s about 2 cup sizes too small for me. I can't swoop and scoop without overflowing. It’s a shame because this is really the perfect width for me.
This is a beautiful bra. The cotton cookie pockets are wonderfully soft and the cups aren't too tall. The straps are comfortable and easy to adjust and have been moved in so they aren't eating my arm pits. This bra has 3 hooks per row as well as 4 column of hooks. The band is nicely snug, stretching to 26.5". Overall, it's really well made and comfortable. Sadly, it's too small for me. The lace is somewhat visible through a thin shirt.

That lace is much prettier in person than on the website. So sad it doesn't fit!
Thanks, Wilderness. I'm actually considering keeping this. If I let out the straps all the way and add an extender (even though the band isn't too tight), it almost 'fits'. I just have some minor quad boob on one side.
I hate it when bras don't just fit perfectly out of the box. It's such a dissapointment (especially when they're so beautiful and you've waited a month to get them). Glad you can almost make this one work.
Omg. Another gorgeous one. I'm a sucker for beige-ish bras.
This bra is stunning! The deep brownish-red floral lace is accented with dark brown lace and the dark brown straps are wide and softly brushed and have pretty embroidery-like detailing. The cotton cookie pockets are wonderfully soft and the cups aren't too tall. The straps have been moved in and aren't eating my arm pits. It has 3 hooks per row and the band is nicely snug, stretching to 26". Overall, it's really well made and comfortable. Sadly, it's too small for me. I feel it fits more like a HH or a small J cup and I am quadding like crazy. It's so gorgeous, I'm considering keeping it. However, I will probably list it. Added later- So I did a bit more research, and 60K 3HCs seem to have a cup depth of 9.3 or 9.4", so this is not small compared to others. It's just a lot smaller than I expected. I should have done my homework.

Gah! This is gorgeous!!!! I am so sad to hear that it is too small for you. I hope the others fit better.
They don't. :(
Sonya, I'm so sorry. It is truly crummy when your custom Comexim order is a flop. All that anticipation and hope down the drain. There is nothing worse than a gorgeous bra that doesn't fit.
It's almost enough incentive to lose 10 pounds.
The other two fit the same and are equally gorgeous.
Sonya - but the holiday treats!!! I swear this time of year is a nightmare for bra fitting. I need a 'winter weight' bra lol
It's so pretty! Sorry it didn't fit you! rachaelll I wonder if this would fit you... ;)
Sonya Do you think it fits smaller because of the cookie pockets? I have a 65J with cookie pockets that fits about the same as my 65HH.
Sonya oh I just saw that you got reduced cup height too... maybe the combination of that and the cookie pockets made it fit a bit smaller?
Wilderness- Maybe. I thought I would be safe ordering the K. I should have ordered it in L or M, I guess. An unmodified 60J/55K plunge fits me pretty well, except for being too tall. I thought the 3HCs would have more immediate depth than the plunges, but they look about the same to me.
Omg it’s so beautiful! What heartbreak!
Sonya , yeah, the 3HCs don't have a ton of depth in my experience. Especially once you start adding straps moved in, cup height reduced and cookie pockets. I had to order up one size when I made similar alterations. Too bad it didn't fit.. it IS beautiful. You said you got two more? Which ones?
Yay! A pretty and comfy purple bra! The band in nice and snug and straps are easy to adjust. The cups are very tall for my short breasts, though, so there is a bit of empty space near the straps. The cups close in nicely on top, though, so it's not too noticeable. The straps are a bit widely placed for my narrow frame, so they are in my armpits a bit. This bra gives a nicely rounded and projected profile.
This is a pretty bra and it's comfy too. The band in nice and snug and straps are easy to adjust. The cups are very tall for my short breasts, though, so there is a bit of empty space near the straps, and also a small gap near the gore on my smaller breast. You can't really see it through clothes, though. The straps are a bit widely placed for my narrow frame, so they are in my armpits a bit. Still, it feels pretty good and gives a nice, rounded and projected profile. I like it.
The band felt loose but as if it had been stretched out by another person previously. Quad boob on my right. Felt as if there was a lot of flesh beneath the arms. The cup is made of foam, though not quite molded. Unfortunately, the 3-part cup design like this one just isn't the best for me. Also, it may be best to go up a size in this bra if you're used to Comexim unlined bras.
Beautiful bra and a pretty good fit. The band is somewhat loose and the cups are quite tall for me, though. With slouching, I get strap gap. This bothers me far less than quad boob, and I can always alter the band. I like the look and feel of this bra.
This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered straps,
lower gore by 1 – 1.5 cm, overlapping gore, straps moved in 1 cm, Pockets inside for asymmetry
My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.
I'd say this fits like a 30G UK. Unfortunately I think the straps just aren't long enough/comfortable enough to keep this one. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.
The band on this runs a little large, and unfortunately I can easily fasten it on the tightest hooks. I'd say it fits like a looser 30G-ish UK, or maybe between a 30FF and 30G?
I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.
Customizations requested: Wires completely overlapped/crossed at center; straps moved in 3cm; reduced cup height by 2cm; lower center gore height by 2cm (need extra deep plunge); Deeper at the wire by 1cm; add'l set of eye loops
In a 60P, this normally sheer bra comes with the bottom half double lined in tulle for support. I do not like this look nearly as much, and really wish I knew it before ordering, as it changed the sexy appeal I was looking for. ...While the pattern the double tulle creates on that lower cup area is neat looking, I wasn’t going for neat with this bra. (ahem…..blush…..)
Okay, now for the specifics: Gore is 3” so don’t believe it was lowered 2cm. Color of lace is really more of a pinkish purple than a true purple like I thought it would be. Still okay but just not quite the color expected. As with Moulin Rouge Black, the reduced cup on this one was not a wise choice.
Cup Depth as measured by: 1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance. This measurement is: 12”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance. This measurement is: 14”
I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.
As with Moulin Rouge Black, this one did not fit, being painfully small. The wires under the arm dig into my breast tissue even though the wires are wider than I like/need, since the cups are too small my breasts are pushed under my arms to fill the whole area and beyond then out over the top of the cups as well. Not an appealing look at all.
This is an extremely comfortable, Comexim creation that is no longer available.
Surprisingly, this 75HH fits better than the 65HH "custom" Eve I ordered one year ago. But, my center-full, close set, somewhat narrow breasts are unhappy with the still too-narrow wire and still too-wide gore.
Unlike my custom Eve, this 75HH is not too tall. For me, this is a shock. I'm very short-waisted, and all too often experience an open field in the top of Comexim cups. This 75HH is two cup sizes larger than the 65HH custom order and has a "raised gore" alteration. Why the 75HH fits better than the 65HH in the top of the cup will remain a mystery. If you look at the measurements for 65HH Eve, "something strange" happened to my mutant 65HH. http://bra.pe/S612/
Many thanks to mandapandarawks for graciously giving her comfortable, discontinued Eve away!!
Man, I was hoping it would work out. :( It's an older bra, so maybe that has something to do with the weirdness of the measurements and how they fit? Either way, it's a mystery!
It did work in that I recalled pleasant memories. This fabric and these straps are super comfortable. :-) :-)
This bra fits well but the cups are definitely taller than I need. It doesn't gape though. I could use more room at the wire too, but overall, I am happy with the fit. I love that this fits more like a 55 than a 60. It's interesting because I have this in white as well (both new), and the white fits more like a 65 and I have to clasp it on the tightest hooks. The quality of this bra is great and it's very comfy. The straps are beautifully detailed and soft against the skin. I get a great projected and rounded shape in this bra and it has a perfect amount of padding. My breasts are soft, short and narrow rooted, bottom and centre full, with a lot of projection just above the wire.
This was my first try with Comexims deep plunges and it will be my last one. I tried my standard Comexim Plunge size (Thanks MamaPagan this was spot on) and is mostly fits. I noticed some differencies compared to standard plunge. The Cups were slightly more shallow and the gore height was smaller. Unfortunately this resulted in a slightly floating gore. Also I guess the cups were more closed which is hard for me to say as I am rather FOB. If I do not sort my breasts properly I am quadding in this bra. Also I think the shape in this bra is slightly more minimized than in Comexims standard plunges. Adding the fact that I did not like the design in person, I returned the bra (which was possible as I ordered a standard size).
So I've worn this a few times, and at first I thought, oh yes! Another unpadded Comexim that works for me! But the more I wear it, the less I like it. It doesn't feel as supportive. I don't know if it's the mesh fabric or what, but it just doesn't feel like it lifts my breasts at all. The band is nice and firm, the gore tacks, the straps don't dig into my armpits; everything that should work, does, but I just can't wear this bra for more than one day. Usually, I wear a bra for two or three days before washing it and then letting ...it "settle" or whatever for a few days after before wearing it again. But with this one, after a few hours it just starts to feel... saggy? I don't really know how to describe it. It's an odd feeling like I am not wearing a bra, but not in a comfortable way. I am hyper aware that I AM wearing a bra, it just isn't being supportive anymore, if that makes any sense. Other than my weird, picky issues, the bra is really lovely. The color is a deep red (my favorite!) and the black edging is a nice, dramatic touch. Read more 100 more words
I have one unpadded Comexim (the only comexim I own) - and its not as supportive as my Ewa's, or defintiely not as supportive as my panache
I agree with Comexim unlined bras being unsupportive. I'm not sure what the exact difference is with their design/fabrics, but I always end up with my boobs hanging way below the wire (if that makes sense) in Comexim's unlined bras.
I know what you mean kermitdafrog21 ! The Moulin Rouge is like that for me, and the Eve, to a lesser extent. The only one I really like is the Emily; I have two of them, and they are super comfortable and feel more supportive. I wear them quite a lot, and they are both over a year old, so I'm starting to prepare for the loss of my favorite bras to old age. :( dbmamaz what Panache unlined bras do you have? Any recommendations? I've been sticking with Polish brands, since I like the narrow wires, but I wouldn't be opposed to trying something less expensive, hahah!
Uh, Panache full price costs more than Ewas on sale, for sure. The only ones I have now are Jasmine, which is so projected as to be too 'pointy' for some people, esp if you are FOB; and the Tango, which runs bigger in the cup and seems to be a great shape for my Omega boobs. I'm wearing 32JJ in both of those, but I'm a K in ewas now. I outgrew my Comexim.
but i mean, you could click on my name and look at my bras, right?
Oh my this bra is beautiful. The cream/tan fabric is overlaid with navy floral lace with an eyelash lace fringe. The band fits pretty true to size (stretches to 27.5") and the straps are fairly wide, comfortable and easy to adjust. I've wanted it for a long time. It is a decent fit, but a bit too small on my larger side so I get a bit of quad boob. Also, it kind of flattens and spreads my breasts so that they look larger and wider from the front and taller and flatter from the sides. It doesn't bother me a lot, as it's still pretty comfy, but I do prefer a narrower, more streamlined look from the front and a more projected side profile. My breasts are short and narrow rooted, soft and pendulous, very projected just above the wire, and bottom & centre full.
What a stunning bra! The brown lace with copper satin ribbon is so pretty. This bra is comfy too and fits really well. The cups are kind of tall, though, and I get a bit of gaping on my smaller side unless my back is straight. It's pretty supportive and the straps are nice and soft. The band is a perfect length and I can wear it on the loosest hooks! The cups are still a bit wider than I need, but not bad, and the straps are slightly widely placed so that they are in my armpits just a little. Overall, I'm really happy with this bra. It looks good, feels good and gives a nice shape through clothes. I am thinking a 55K (preferably 3HC) with straps moved in and cup height reduced, and maybe a bit of extra room at the wire, would be ideal.
I was really excited to try this unlined Comexim, so when it finally came today and it was such an odd, uncomfortable fit, I was really disappointed. The top of the cup doesn't lie flat against my breasts, like the Eve and Emily styles do. (I love those two models so much!) The elastic across the top just doesn't seem to be tight enough or something. It's a shame, because the lacy top is really delicate and pretty. The whole bra itself is beautiful, but it just didn't fit me at all. The band is pretty snug, and I asked for narrowed straps, but I'm almost positive that wasn't done, because they sit really wide on my shoulders. I also asked for a raised gore, and usually that ends up being around 3.3-3.5 inches. This one measured to be 3, so I don't believe that alteration was done, either. Sigh. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I really wanted a nice fitting, black unlined Comexim. It just wasn't meant to be with this particular bra, however.
This bra is so beautiful and well made, but it is too big in the cups and gapes on the top/centre. I love the band length, though. If I were a better seamstress, I would try and put a little tuck in to eliminate the gaping and make it wearable. It was altered from a plunge to a balcony bra with a raised gore and reduced cup height.

Bra has been modified into a balcony bra by increasing gore height and reducing cup height.
