This bra has the tightest band of any of my Comexims. It also has the narrowest strap placement, making it the most comfortable. I can move my arms without any rubbing! It gives the 2nd best cleavage of any Comexim I've tried, behind Ingrid. The overlay of black lace over beige is absolutely gorgeous.
This bra has the most projection of any of my Comexim plunges, mostly at the center. This causes a small gape on me that even cookies don't fix. If you're FOB and need lots of room near the center, this bra will be great for you. If you're FOB, it will probably gape.
This bra is sooooo pretty! I love the navy lace and the delicate eyelash lace trim. Like most Comexims, this gapes on my smaller side, but I ordered it with cookie pockets so I can mostly fix that. The strap attachment is a little less comfortable than my other Comexims--I wonder if they forgot to move the straps in on this one. The band is a little less stretchy than my other Comexims, but it's a little longer to compensate. I love the "C" charm in the center--I know it's for Comexim but I can pretend it's monogrammed for me!
Monogrammed for you <3 <3 This looks fantastic!! Look at the projection :-) :-) I'm befuddled that this fits you so well and I haven't been able to find a Comexim plunge that fits me. Happy for you :-) :-)
Thanks! I find that Comexim plunges are almost perfect for me, just aside from the tiny little center gape I get. I try to just ignore it cuz my logical part of my brain knows it's not a big deal...
This bra is my best fitting Comexim. It's much more closed on top and has less room near the gore than other Comexims, which is good news for me. This makes it the only one that doesn't gape on me at all. If you're FOB, this will be a great option for you! The fabric is also extremely soft and smooth. It feels like it stays in my IMF and it's quite comfy.
This is my new favorite bra! It is gorgeous and sooooo comfy. The band is snug, I need an extended I told it breaks in but I like tighter bands. I requested this bra made with straps moved in. It also arrived with three hooks, though I didn't request that. I think the three hooks makes the band a bit firmer. I also got this bra in the plunge style tug reduced cups, reduced gore and straps moved in. This bra has a lover apex, more centers. The apex in the plunge is quite high. This bra also has more immediate projection, which I need. The wires are just a tiny bit wider than the plunge, so small that it is not noticeable when wearing.
This bra has reduced cups, reduced gore, and straps moved in. It also has three hooks, though I didn't request that. The band feels perfect. I also got this in a three part half cup, which fits me better. Even with the alterations the cups come up a bit high under my arms near the front. The top corners are empty, but I quad out a bit on my larger breast. The gore is perfect and so comfy! The wires are almost perfect, even a bit wide on my smaller breast. If the rest of the bra fit nicely the wires wouldn't bother me a bit. Thankfully I do get an excellent in thee three part half cup version of this bra as it is stunning!
I think Ingrid is the prettiest bra among my collection. Its quality is also great. The straps are wide and sturdy enough to support the weight of my heavy breasts, and the band is not too firm but not too steretch as well. However its sizing is little bit off imo. I think the cup runs small. I ordered geisha, mint and ingrid in size of 80k (or its sister size) few month ago, Ingrid gave me the worst quadboob. From that experience I opted 85K with some alterations such as moved in straps and reduced cups, but it is still too small in the cup. (Of course too big in the band. I don't know what I was thinking as ordering it)
Anyway, "Ingrid 85K size fits like Uk loose 36gg/snug 38g."
So I will sell and re-order it in a different size.
Just for future orders, generally people go up a cup size when reducing the cup height (since you end up reducing the cup volume a bit). So it would be expected that a regular 80K and an 85K with reduced cups would have about the same cup volume, just with different band sizes
Kermitdafrog21 thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you. And the moved in straps also reduce the cup volume as well imo.
Sonia epitomizes sophisticated & sexy; she's a very grown-up girl with shrimp-pink satin overlaid with dove gray lace, taupe straps, and a scallop of salmon lace along the top of the cups. Gorgeous! I asked for the straps to be moved in 2 cm, which they are, and its nice to have them out of the way of my underarms. The 3-part cup actually has enough immediate projection for me - something that no Comexim plunge cut, even sized up, has been able to deliver yet. It is very soft and comfortable. But the band is crazy snug and it is not very stretchy, I'm wearing it with ...an extender on the last hooks. (Only stretches to 76cm/30" before distorting the wires! I read that here, so I went up a band size (sacrificing some cup narrowness), and IMHO 30" is pretty tight for a 34" back). Worth it though because Sonia is divine! EDIT: I washed her a few times and wore her a bunch and the band has relaxed to 80cm on the last hooks. Still pretty snug for the band size, but lesson learned! Read more 79 more words
I'm thrilled to read this about the immediate projection!! And, I had planned to order a 60 because I heard Sonia was super stretchy; no need now ;-)
Wow, thats really odd that the half cup is so different than the plunge. Your 75 half cup band is smaller than my 70 plunge band both stretched and unstretched! I almost wonder if its some sort of fluke
kermitdafrog21 I got a Joy 70 and an Arabella 70 in the same order. Both are half cups, a 3-part & a 2-part (2 seam 1 seam). The Joy stretches to 83cm and the Arabella to 85cm. I just double-checked, and I can just pull Sonia out to 76cm,but it pulls the soft wires. Most of my 70's/32's go there, plunges and half cups (except Masquerade). So perhaps it is a fluke? Could it be the lace overlay; its not stretch lace? I guess the more folks get one and put in measurements, we'll see!
The Comexim bands with wrap around lace are short! I order Geisha and Arizona in a 65 to fit my 28" under bust. However, 29" for a 34" is super short ;-)
My Sonia is a 75 band as well and I think it stretches to about 31" I'm between a 30/32 band and it does fit best on the tighter hooks, but it isn't too bad on the loosest hooks either.
My Sonia halfcup in a 65 band have the same measurements as your 75, maybe they made a mistake
I bought this bra to test Comexim (together with a Plunge that did not fit) and found a bra that fits perfect, gives me a good shape and is more than comfortable. I usually do not even notice, that I wear a bra I only see it when looking at the mirror. Only the cup could be few milimeters lower, it might show up in the cleavage as I'm FOB. The seams are invisible unter thin shirts, the color is much prettier in person. If you need wide wires have in mind that Comexim uses very soft wires that bend even with normal wearing, so real wire width will be wider than measurement. I really love this bra and many more Comexims are on my wishlist.
I ordered this Sonia in 70H because I have a 75G that fits well and I love the bra, although while I can wear the 75G on the loosest hooks I prefer it on the tighter hooks. I also like using this bra as a neutral, and it's so pretty I want to wear it all the time so I wanted a second and decided to try a 70H.
The 70H is about a cup size too large and the 75G is pretty much perfect other than a loose band. The cups on the the 70H are about 2cm larger than the 75G, the width on the 70H is almost 1cm wider and the cup height is 1.5cm taller than the 75G.
I also ordered an Irish Coffee in a 70H and it fits the same as the 70H Sonia. I'm not sure if my 75G Sonia is off in size or if the 70H bras are the ones that are off.
Do you think that keeping the same cup could of helped? I know that doing that, the bra should be smaller, but perhaps it may have worked. In all logical sense, this should have worked because this is the sister size. Did you reduce the cups to account for the bigger cup? I've noticed that through measurements of Comexim, the sister sizes give more or less depth depending on the cup, but if you keep the same cup and move up and down the band the depths are rather close. This is not something I have tested so I just wanted to know if you had ever experienced it.
In the half cup Comexim won't reduce the cups. I will probably reorder and try a 70G.
amandafire (￣-￣) smh, we'll for us high set folk that reduction is needed so that a half cup that is supposed to be open on top doesn't become a somewhat full cup lol (but not really though) I hope the 70G will cover at least 80-90% of your boobs, maybe this half cup will just have to be very open for you. I guess you could surprise your SO with it lol
Almost fit, almost. It really hurts that this is my second Mint Plunge but still does not fit me. I think I have to give up Comexim Plunge. It is too hard to get a correct size and fit. Anyway, I asked moved in straps - 2cm and reduced cups. I should have asked 4cm, not 2cm. And I'm also given OIg effect because this bra doesn't have enough projection for me. However it is very narrow and deep considering the size. It fits like 34hh/36hish.
I thought this fabric would be a softer type, it's a bit scratchy But everything else is great! The cups, straps, the wire, the band--- all feels great.
Iris is a discontinued standard plunge from 2012. The stock images make it look like it's bright purple. It isn't, it's pretty dark and it's a true purple. It's a lace overlay with a basic beige backing. There is a silvery blue design sewn into the lace. It's along the top of the cups and the bottom of the band. There are double bows to complement the bra, dark purple on top of silver. A big one at the gore (not Ewa big) and smaller ones at the straps. My specific Iris has straps and a 2x3 clasp made up of a burgundy elastic. It doesn't match the ...bra, but it doesn't really clash with it either.
The band is very stretchy and easily stretched to 31". I've sewn through the elastic bringing the stretched measurement about 28"-29" so I can wear it on the loosest hooks. The straps are a good length and width. They are slightly wide set for me. They adjust easily and don't slide around. The cups have been reduced (and excluded from measurement averages). The wires are a comfortable width. They come up a little high for me on the sides. The bottom of the cup is incredibly shallow. I find all Comexim plunges to lack enough immediate projection, but this is one of the shallowest ones I have, even though it is a cup volume larger than I usually wear. I do push it down because the band is not tight enough to keep the wires up (like 65G - Comexim » Juliette (237), which is also shallow but a 26" band). Comexim uses very soft wires so it doesn't hurt when the wires rest on my ribs, but it's not the most comfortable.
The underwear are M and pretty TTS. They're comfortable and don't ride up.
I haven't decided if I'm going to keep this set yet or not. It's quite pretty, but all of my bras are pretty, and it's really not a great fit for me. Read more 225 more words
I love Sonia. The colors are so muted and fresh. The peachy background with grey lace overlay is very striking and elegant. The straps are a taupe shade that compliment the rest of the bra beautifully. There is a very pretty lace edging on the cups which matches the color the straps. The lace edging gives it a little extra detail to make an otherwise 'neutral' colored bra anything but ordinary. It would look beautiful on any skin tone and is just one of those bras that is very complimentary to any woman. It has pretty peach colored bows on each strap and one at the gore, which ...also has a really pretty sliver charm sewn to it. It almost looks like a sun with the rays stretching out from the sparkly center rhinestone. This was one of my first Comexim purchases in a 60 band and it is very comfortable. I hate to have to part with it but I have found that I need a few alterations in order to make Comexim bras work for me. This bra is unaltered. It is brand new and never been worn, only tried on to assess the fit of a standard plunge. Read more 94 more words
I thought that 70E - Comexim » Sharon (366) is my comfiest Comexim.. and Ive changed my mind now.. Lorraine is made of silky in touch material, has my favoruite plain straps that are so soft, and even the gore - barely can feel it on my chest. The shape is not that great as in 70F - Comexim » Tropical Garden (191) but I dont really care when the bra feels so nice. I think its gonna be my no 1 since now.. Really worth trying!! Also the colours of it are quite nice - Ive never been interested in this bra because of the colours, but I saw few reviews and decided to give it a go and it was great choice! Additionaly I bought the strings, they feel so good on body, but even i took size Large they still are digging in.
My first Comexim, and I couldn't be happier! The color scheme with the mint and pale lavender-pink lace overlay reminds me of a mermaid, and in combination with the rainbow plaid center bow, it's sweetly feminine while still fairly understated. Gives beautiful cleavage and a round, uplifted shape with narrow wires. Please note that I have marked this bra as fitting despite the fact that the gore floats away from my chest ever so slightly at the top, but when I press it fully to my sternum I get no quadding. I think this is has to do with Comexim's softer underwires, which don't seem to produce as hard a tack.
First, a bit about my breast shape for reference: significantly narrow, FOB, projected, pendulous, significantly short roots, significantly center-heavy.
I can't tell if this bra is just a smidgen too large overall, or the cups are too tall. The band is significantly stretcher than I anticipated, certainly more so than a Ewa Michalak, and as such I think that I perhaps should have sister sized down. (My snug underbrush is 31" and I'm quite squishy, if that helps.) I can fasten it on the tightest hook comfortably, but the underwire tends to warp when I swoop-and-scoop on this setting. Perhaps I'm just over-scooping - as I said, ...I'm squishy. The cups come up high enough to conceal my pronounced Tail Of Spence, which is lovely, but there are empty pockets on both sides between the bottom of my Tail Of Spence and the top edge of my breast root that gets larger as the day goes on and I settle in to the bra. Thankfully, there is no visible gapping under shirts. As a bonus, however, I get a bit of cleavage (because this is a plunge style I believe and my breasts settle comfortably to the center) and the bra is colored such that it is totally invisible under my shirts.
It's the most comfortable bra I own at this point and is the closest I have to fitting so I will keep and continue wearing it, but it isn't The One for a shape like mine. Read more 142 more words
I adore these stretchy, comfortable, crimson straps. The cups are lined with a silky red fabric. The background fabric is teal-gray and the deep pink flowers provide delightful contrast to the darker background. This band is supportive, stretchy, and firm. Because of my need for immediate projection, my breasts couldn't sit in the cup properly. I'll try a 60J next and hope for more immediate projection. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Poppies is adorable and comfortable, but doesn't fit me.
You have SCORED on this order!! Yet another beauty on you :-) :-)
