I ordered this bra @ www.wellfitting.com. I loved the fact that they have narrow wires and wanted to give this brand a try. I decided to go with a good basic nude bra. This one is great! The band is perfect on first set of hooks. I wore it all day yesterday as a test run. I am happy to say that I even forgot I had it on. I especially like that this particular bra has 3 sets of hooks. This makes is very comfortable on and very stable. I have close set breasts so having the gore so narrow perfect. I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone with close set breasts. I look forward to trying other models from this brand. I should mention that I think the bands are pretty firm. Technically this one should be a 32 as it is a 70, however it has an unstretched length of 60cm (23.5in) and a stretched length of 72cm (approximately 28 inches). So I would consider this when ordering.
This is a very pretty bra that seems like it would be comfortable. I ended up with the wrong size due to a miscommunication with Anna at Comexim, so it is a bit too large in the band and cup for me. It gives a nice, round, uplifted shape. My breasts are close-set with a narrow root and a lot of immediate and center projection, but leaning towards FoT and full in the center. I feel like this bra suits my shape well, and would fit me nicely in a 70M. The straps are a little too wide for my narrow shoulders, but not as bad as my Cleo Marcie.
It is brand new, never worn (just tried on for a few minutes), but did not come with tags. The band is quite stretchy, so it fits like a UK 34J or a tight 36HH. The straps are fully adjustable, but they are also quite stretchy, so they may not be best for a really petite person.
I have found my BFF of bras: Comexim plunge. It is what I've been looking for in a bra since I sprouted boobs. The wires are narrow and end at the natural edge of my breast and don't go into my armpits. The cups are deep and hold all of my tissue in a gathered, to the front, rounded, lifted shape. It's heavenly. The pattern is feminine and makes me feel pretty to wear it. I was reluctant to purchase Comexim because I wasn't sure what size to order. I bought this bra from a blogger and it fits perfectly. I'm a UK28F, fuller on bottom, close set, softer tissue.
I had lusted over this bra for months before eventually emailing the company hoping for sizing assistance. I gave them my measurements and she suggested I try a 60H... I was afraid the bra was going to be far too large for me, but in the end it was the opposite! Way too small, center gore can't lay flat and there's quadboob.
I'm bummed that it doesn't fit because it's a gorgeous and well-made bra!
This bra is very comfy, it definitely runs larger than the Comexim padded bras. So if you fit a 65J in say, Nadin, than I would get a 65HH in Mariposa or similar soft bra. That being said, next time I order a soft bra from Comexim, I will ask for the gore slightly raised and the cups lowered. Because I have really soft tissue and fob breasts, I tend to spill towards the center and get slight (not noticeable in clothes) quadboob towards the middle/inner cup, and slight wrinkling in the top of cup near the straps because I lack upper fullness. Otherwise, it is a fantastic fit! It is also very affordable and beautiful! In the pictures I've loaded, you can see that I converted it into a nursing bra, and it functions wonderfully. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I've been wondering what it means precisely to have the cups lowered, and what the fit effect of that is. Can you help me understand?
Having the cups lowered means that there is less fabric where the cup and straps connect, so the cup is "shorter."
I am so confused - Anna at Comexim just told me that lowering the cups on a soft bra is not a thing that can be done. There may have been some confusion due to language though.
Oh, well it's entirely possible Comexim doesn't do it on soft cups, I've never asked explicitly about that style. I know I had the cups lowered for my Nadin and I assumed you could have them lowered on all styles, but if you asked and she said no than I would assume they do not lower them in soft cup bras.
Ah okay good. Thank you for reducing my confusion :) I wanted to get a soft cup bra from them but I got so confused I went with a padded one.
Their balcony cut is shorter. I hope to order Mariposa in the balcony cut soon. The fabric is so beautiful!!
Purchased from previous owner that wore it a few times.
I think this bra is either an old cut, or they sent the wrong size to the previous owner. I have three Comexim bras in size 70N and the cups fit perfectly fine. On this Juliette 70M, the cups are at least 2 cup sizes too small, not one. The cups are not nearly as high as well, but even if the previous owner had custom ordered them that way, my boobs spill out the sides before I even scoop and swoop. The hook and eyes are on opposite sides too, which was confusing.
The bra is very well made, and I absolutely adore the colour way and print. If it really was a only one cup size smaller than my 70Ns, it would still be wearable and I would keep it... I just think it is not a true 70M.
The Green Velvet bra is absolutely gorgeous. However, it was WAY too small for me! I calculated my EU size to be about a 65K or L, but based on all of the Bratabase reviews for this bra, ordered an H (and a 65HH in Nadin) because people said it ran very large. This was not true for me. It was so small, it literally only fit like half of my boob. I had quadboob so bad, my nipples weren't even covered by the bra and I was spilling out of the top and middle. I am very excited about trying it in the correct size, as it is a well-made, beautiful bra with narrow wires that I need.
Note: though this doesn't alter the measurements of the bra in any way tracked by bratabase, this bra does have reduced cups, or, in other words, it was ordered with lower cup height near the straps. Otherwise the cups on comexim bras are too tall for me-- and how much do I love that you can customize the bra when you order?!
Another beautiful bra from Comexim. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I loved that it was a moon-surface print bra, and knew that I'd regret it if I didn't buy it (probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity), and absolutely no regets. You get a very good feel for ...the appearance of this bra from the Comexim pictures, once again. The color is right on, so is the styling. The only thing difficult to see in their pictures is the central gore bow-- as always, Comexim bras have different styles of bow from one to another-- this bow has a medium-to-dark, neutral gray ribbon, straight across, with double loops on either side. Hard to describe, but I included a picture, too-- it's simple and elegant. This bra is well constructed, and the pattern is very cool, in shades of gray that mimic the patterns seen on the surface of the moon. The lace at the top of the cups is scalloped and floral in theme.. The straps are white, slightly less wide than the straps on the Nadin, and comfortableThe moon print is continued on the outside band, and the insides of the cups and band are lined with white fabric.
The wires of the cups, as with all Comexim bras are narrow, with a narrow center gore-- this works very well for me, as my breasts are deep and I have a pretty small frame. The shape of the bra works with center-full breasts-- but definitely expect a lot of cleavage if you have deep breasts with a narrow gore-- this bra looks amazing on (IMO) and is a definite mood boost, but it brings all that you have front and center. Despite the potential for cleavage, it can be worn with a v-neck without cleavage with strategic positioning if the v-neck isn't too deep-- I still can have a gap in between my breasts (compared to the Deco, where the cup shape doesn't hold my (soft) breasts inside the cup, so my breasts spill toward the center and leave no room in between), which makes it easier to wear this bra in a work appropriate fashion.
Sizing: 65K (with reduced cups) would fit well on a 28HH or a 30H in my opinion. The band is slightly tight (29.5 inches), but nearly true-to-size-- I can wear it without an extender, but it feels uncomfortably tight after a few hours so I will wear it with one for now. I need to update my measurements in bratabase, but I'm not going to do so now. As of this review, I'm about a 30H-- I think my breasts might shrink back to my previous size, though (I hope!); this bra will be a bit large but still wearable (with tighter straps/ less cleavage), especially during times when my breasts are more full due to my cycle. My current best fitting bras are: this one; Cleo Lily in 32G; Panache Sport in 30GG; Freya Hello Dolly in 30H.
So this was my first time ordering Comexim, and I ordered a 70H based on their recommendation. I was really apprehensive after posting here asking for size help (of course that was *after* I placed the order), in which it was advised I order a 65J (or 30J). However, I was really pleasantly surprised to find that this bra (and the other) fit pretty darn well. How, you ask? Well, it turns out that it really only stretches to a 30, but was a bit too big for me after a few hours of wear (I'd only had it on for about 2 minutes prior to writing my ...original review). I am actually running 29" underbust, as confirmed by the 32G Deco I had altered to fit my body (it was pinned to my liking, rather than exactly 30" like Intimacy does), which is exactly 29". I am more confused than ever, but hey, they fit!
Anyway, this bra is beautiful. I thought that the little glitter details were hearts, but they are apples! The red is stunning, and works really well with my skin tone (kind of maraschino cherry color). The awesome thing about red bras aside from being sexy is they actually work as a neutral under whites! I didn't believe it until I tried it out. Neither my husband, nor my mom could tell my bra was red.
As for comfort level, I can't really attest to that yet. It felt pretty darn comfy when I tried it on, with a nice stretchy band (but not too stretchy, and not as stretchy as Freya bands). I love this bra! Read more 164 more words
*****Custom ordered with reduced cup height. *****
Too small, but I fill like I'm getting closer!
I love the look of this bra and the super thin wires. I also if I order from comexim I will ask to have reduced sup height. That was a nice addition. I do have to say this feel lesser quality than Ewa.
I was shocked the band fit me, overall going to the sell it.
I ordered Comexim Jacqueline in 75N with a taller gore. I haven't specified how much taller I wanted the gore.
Pros: + very pretty bra + narrow wires + gives a pretty round shape
cons: - cups gap on top and towards the straps - gore floats about 1-2 cm away from the sternum - shoulder straps are too seperated - overall probably too weak for heavy 32K boobs - straps cut in, band is a bit loose
The bra fits super weird! It's actually worse than my 75M - Comexim ยป Basic (170). It's not too small. The cups are actually gaping. I get some weird gaping on top of the cups ...towards the center and towards the straps. I had to tighten the straps very very much to get rid of the gaping. Shape and support gets better but I could even use more tight straps but it's not possible or I cut into my flesh. Also the band starts riding up a bit the more I have to tighten the straps.
But the biggest problem is: the straps are too separated! I was shocked since I haven't had that issue with the Basic. There is too much cup fabric towards the center and if the straps where not centered I would not get that much gaping. I'm sad this bra didn't work for me as it is very pretty! I recommend getting down in band size if possible, the band stretched out quite fast (after just trying it on for 15 minutes) it started to feel loose. Read more 149 more words
Comexim Geisha plunge set size 55J which equates UK 26GG and EM PL 55H + M knickers which equates UK 8/10. The following 3 photos feature my custom made bra in a 55 band featuring reduced cups. This is an exquisitely constructed bra with the finest attention to detail. This stunning style is comprised of a lightly padded plunge cut in the lower cup style. The wires are the narrowest that I have ever encountered whilst the cups are deep and feel completely weightless regardless of the light padding. This style features a beige knitted cotton fabric lining the interior of the cups, whilst the exterior is covered ...in a delicate black lace overlay featuring pale pink embroidery and a floral pattern whilst the upper edges of the cups are covered in black lace. The detailing is flat and not visible beneath a blouse. The straps are fully adjustable and the band features 2 hooks.
I should clarify that Comexim do not currently have size labels available for this custom size. Therefore Anna, the company owner, always uses a size tag printed for another order and carefully hand prints the "55J" size on the tag. I can confirm that all of my orders in size 55J are consistently presented in this manner. I am enormously pleased to find a company whom is willing to provide 55 bands upon request!
The cup width measures 13cm from tip to tip of the underwire. The cup depth measures 23cm inside of the cup, from each end of the underwire across the deepest line of the cup. I have measured the band as follows. Unstretched in a resting position from clasp to clasp measures exactly 48cm. Fully stretched to the maximum length from clasp to clasp measures exactly 66cm. It would be ideal for you to compare these measurements against one of your newer best fitting bras, as this will be the best method in determining if this will be a good fit for you.

This is a gorgeous bra of great quality. It has a very tight band - only going to 25.5 without wire distortion! it is too big in the cup for my 30GG (Freya Deco) bust, although clearly too small in the band. I think it is a 26J approx.
Everything else, other than cup size, is still the same: It's shallow in the bottom. Narrow wire/cup width. Massive cleavage because it presses your breasts up and to the center. I'm fuller on bottom, somewhat even, and I never expected to be able to have that much cleavage. But that much cleavage and boobs toward the center results in a uniboob look under looser t-shirts. If you wear tighter v-necks, this could be glorious. Style ...fits like a plunge. Three-piece cup construction. Sturdy materials. Band is tight and very comfortable, in large part due to the high wings. Stretches to no more than 28" when new, but gets stretchier with more wear. Absolute max stretch is under 29", but feels like I'm hurting and distorting the bra. Because I have a short torso, I custom-ordered this 60G with lowered cup heights (the 60H had a towering cup height of 6.5"!), and this made it much better. They only remove fabric from the diagonal top piece, so it has half of the usual amount. Measuring from the bow at one strap to the bottom of the band, it's 5.6". Fully-adjustable straps.
Unfortunately, despite this looking beautiful from some angles, I got quadboob on my larger boob (the definitely 28F one.) The bra fit my 28E boob better, but that cup is just slightly too large for that side. That's why I believe the 60G fits like a large 28E. I am disappointed to be right in between Comexim's 60G and 60H sizes for their padded plunges. Wore this for two days before I decided the quadboobing was too bad. Read more 194 more words
A bit late too comment, but many are claiming that the Basic runs about half a cup small and is tight in the band compared to other Comexim padded plunges. You may not be entirely out of luck after all ;)
I had been wanting to try this bra for some time because I like the geometric patterns. There were only a few sizes left, so I ordered one which I thought would be 1-2 cup sizes too large. So it is unsurprising that it is too large. With the straps tightened and an inset in my smaller side, it doesn't look so large for me, but the fabric buckles and gapes a bit on the cups toward the gore. It still gives me a very high and rounded shape, so I am thinking of keeping it and will certainly consider other Comexim plunge bras in my actual size.
This was my first 26 band, but I was disappointed with how loose it was (even though I measure ~24" very tightly). Within a couple of days, I was wearing it on the tightest hook, and now it is still too big. I like the narrowness of the wires, but there does not seem to be quite enough bottom projection. Also, I think I have too much center fullness which pushes the high(ish) gore away. I haven't completely ruled out that it is too small, but I think it mostly the shape. It is a gorgeous bra though, so I'm willing to overlook the fit issues https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />.
First the good: FINALLY a bra with narrow enough wires, strap placement that's not trying to saw off my arms, and a narrow enough gore. It also has nice, tall wings so everything stays in place and looks smooth and yet somehow doesn't jab me in the armpit.
As far as the band sizing, I originally planned on ordering a 70 but after discussing with Anna at Comexim and reading a few reviews that the bands run tight, opted for a 75. The band measured in at 33 inches fully stretched, so it does appear to run small. Right now however I'm vacillating between 32 ...bands (that ride up a bit) and 30s that barely close or require an extender, so maybe a 70 that runs a bit small would be ideal. I don't know; still undecided here. Even though the band only has two rows of hooks (3 columns), wearing it on the middle or tightest closure feels comfortably firm and secure (I think due to the wings).
I get a ton of gaping and some empty space at the top of the cups, unfortunately. It isn't visible under a tight shirt but it means it isn't as supportive as it should be and I don't get va-voom cleavage you'd expect from a plunge. Even though the depth at the apex is perfect, I think I need to size down one to two cup sizes in any plunge style bra to make them work with my shape and soft tissue. The cups have a soft cotton lining and are lightly padded/lined (similar to an EM, possibly a bit less padded).
My only issue with this bra (other than sizing) is the straps. They are perfect as far as the width setting but the width of the strap itself is narrower than EM or Panache straps, so I'm curious as to how comfortable that would be for all day wear. Read more 213 more words
Next time you order from them, you can request a reduced 'bowl' (cup) so there isn't so much extra fabric at the top of the cups. I've heard that works well for us some people (and am curious about it for myself as well!)
Cleavage! Oh my. I hardly ever have cleavage and this is exceptional (admittedly I suspect I could go up a cup size without gaping, but this does not have quadboob), this bra brings you up front and centre! And soooo comfortable. If it weren't padded I would wear it always, but it can get a bit too warm for padded bras 'round here (45C, anyone?). Not the most expensive looking bra, but well finished and not expensive.
This bra is amazing! It has narrow wires, as most Comexim's do, and fits my UK30E's almost perfectly. It covers everything important, and is supporting enough to offer a nice rounded shape. It's got a sort of plunge, which shows off just enough cleavage to be sexy, but not inappropriate. I am petite and have narrow shoulders, so the straps are set too far apart and the cups are a little too tall, but not nearly as bad as some other bras. I also think I probably should size down in the band, as my snug measurement is 27.4 and this rides up too much, even on the tightest hook brand new.
I've been wondering what it means precisely to have the cups lowered, and what the fit effect of that is. Can you help me understand?
