Had a lot of alterations made due to my narrow roots, and it fits like a charm. The fabric is more comfortable than my magic plunge, but doesn't compare to the patricias.

Very nice bra! It's narrow enough for me, and has amazing projection. I get empty space above the apex, despite the top of the cup touching my breasts. I think this bra is too tall for me, so I'm going to try a 70G / 65H next.

FoB, narrow, projected @ wire.

This is the 70H (32FF) bra from BreakoutBras. Comparing it to the 70H Basic Plunge, the Inez is stretchier and more open at the top. It gaped on me, horribly. so I think I'll try going down two cups and see if it works out. The fabric is silky-soft, reminiscent of high-quality exercise fabric softness. The projection is great at the wire, and the cup seperation was amazing for me. Straps seem to be a bit wide-set on me, but that could be the cups being too big.

Features: FoB, FoT/Open at top, projection @ wire.

The construction of the bra is different than other European brands (re: Panache, Cleo, Freya). It's a seamed molded cup, which means that it won't be godforsaken itchy on my sensitive skin. While the band fit excellent, the cups much shallower than I was expecting, so much that it smashed my soft tissue against my chest and made it uncomfortable to breathe. The cups are slightly too wide on my chest, even with my tissue compacted. The cups themselves do not appear to have much projection at the wire, and overall has a rounded appearance, with a steep curve from the wire to the apex before rounding out.

I usually wear a 30E UK but after trying the comexim lilly in a 65F, I decided to try the basic in a 70E. The band is comfortable and I don’t have any issues with the straps moving too far into my armpits. This bra is more shallow than my other comexims but not too badly. It is a good basic bra but the seams will show through a thin shirt.

Overlapped wires at gore, strap a little shorter than used to for this size. Not sure if the strap is taken in or this is regular comexim strap width.

technically a fit, but could always use more depth at the wire as any tissue pushed up instantly goes right for the sides of the cup. The entire gristly mass fight with the wires, and skin wrinkles strangely. Measuring the internal depth across, most of the cup is only about 8" to 8.5" deep whereas my underboob is a strong 9" to 9.5" depth minimum across front.

Is it comfortable? Like a dream! Looks however. Well, thank heavens nobody else has to see how this fits.

Amazingly soft, supportive, strong without feeling binding. Gloriously simple & functional. My quest for the perfect t-shirt bra is over!

No padding, though the Basic's construction counts as that imho. The upper strip often flips in on me which ads to the unexpected padding effects. Assuming this is due to this piece being meant to cup into the bustline and slightly pull up the ladies. Not so, on my monstrous form!

Also not enough depth at wire. 2" too tall. Being the polar opposite of the customer base it was created for, these things don't surprise me at all.

Much as ... I crave 100 of them in every fabric ever, not about to ask Comexim for a half half cup as they frequently botch that in astonishing and exciting new ways.

6 month update: started to suddenly gain cup sizes around nov/early december, & all orders took a couple months to arrive so just suffered in this lovely little stoic support garment. To it's credit it's been very forgiving during this shitshow but also can confirm it's sadly not a size I'll be going back to anytime soon.
Anyone with tips on on to shrink super wide roots please speak up, looks like thats not something you can get from a reduction

I was intrigued by the Mimi style but knew that the 2HC version didn't work for me, so I ordered them in my 3HC customizations. I had asked for the straps to be moved in another 2 cm but I don't think this was done, however these seem to fit pretty well and are comfortable around the armhole, so this is not too much of a concern.

Requested customizations:
- Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction
- Cup depth: add 1.5 cm to center of cup, total depth 21 cm
- Cup height: Reduce 1.5 cm, total height 12 cm
- Gore: Reduce 1.5 cm to keep ... original cup shape
- Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm

Both my Beige and Black Mimi 3HCs fit wonderfully. The 3HC shape is a little shallow on me and the cup is a tad short at 12 cm (I keep asking for 12.5 cm but end up getting 12 . . .), so it has a slight minimizing effect from the side profile while I could use a little more cup coverage, but overall I like the versatility of this silhouette when I want something with a lower neckline and less visible seams than the Plunge fit, which is my preference. I love that Mimi comes in the same lightweight mesh that I love from Ingrid and Pearl Flower Mint, but in a solid! Mimi and Elena are almost the same style, so if you request them in the same fit, the main difference will be that Mimi has lace trim at the upper cup and Elena does not. However, trims are the same on both styles. I also only requested one bow on the center gore of Mimi instead of the double bow shown in the picture.

The two Mimi 3HCs are identical to each other in fit despite small differences in measurement. Strap placement is confusing-- when worn, the straps are set in closer than the Rose Half Cup from my most recent order, but the same as the Pearl Flower Mint 3HC. When comparing the Mimi bras against these two styles on the flat, it does look like the outer cup is reduced under the arm. I can't tell if this is an intentional change or if the shape of the underwires used is slightly different.

I ordered this second Elena basically expecting to get the same customizations as I got in my previous Elena, but this is actually based off of the last Ingrid I ordered from January 2021. It is virtually the same as the previous Elena except I had asked for the arm to be cut in a bit further. Actually I can't tell much of a difference to see if this was done, but the armhole on this bra is not uncomfortable, which is great!

Requested customizations:
- Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction
- Cup depth: add 1 cm to center of cup, total depth ... 21 cm
- Cup height: Reduce 1 cm, total height 14 cm
- Gore: Reduce 1 cm to keep original cup shape
- Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm

Styling-wise, the only difference between this new Elena and my previous one is that I had asked for the other Mimis in my order to be made with only one center bow instead of two, and this might have been why Joanna did not include bows at the strap attachments like on my previous Elena. The scalloped bow lace at the cradle is a little more pink on the new bra and more beige/brown on the older bra, but otherwise the trims are identical. Band on this bra measures closer to spec as the last one was a little snug.

The fit is identical to my last Elena bra, and the straps are not moved in as much as my last Ingrid or the Mimi Plunge from the same order, although the fit was supposed to be the same.

I ordered this per the modifications on my last Ingrid from Jan 2021:

Requested customizations:
- Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction
- Cup depth: add 1 cm to center of cup, total depth 21 cm
- Cup height: Reduce 1 cm, total height 14 cm
- Gore: Reduce 1 cm to keep original cup shape
- Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm

This measures very slightly smaller in the cup than my HG Ingrid, but overall the fit is very good and ... most importantly, the armholes are very comfortable! I did not know what to expect with the Mimi bras because I couldn't tell what the fabrication would be, but thankfully it turned out to be lightweight mesh, the same as Ingrid, Pearl Flower Mint, and Elena. Actually, Mimi and Elena are almost identical in styling if you request them in the same fit (although my two Elenas used shorter wires than Mimi). I prefer the styling of Mimi better, as the cups have an upper lace trim. I also requested mine with only a single bow at the gore instead of the double bow shown in the picture, so mine did not come with bows at the strap attachments either. I'll request them for next time!

Mimi Plunge is probably my favorite everyday Comexim style to date as I really prefer the lightweight solid mesh for everyday wear, compared to the heavy duty Basic fabric. I also own Mimi in 3HC which gives a more minimized shape from the side profile, but is also a good fit.

The fit of this bra is identical to the last Ingrid I ordered, and the straps are set a little closer in than the Elena for comfort

I have to wear this with an extender. I get a little bit of gaping at the tops of the cups.

Reduced cups 2cm, straps moved in 2cm, reduced gore 1cm, cookie pockets.

Compared to my 55J Adele (reduced cups 2cm, straps moved in the default amount, reduced gore 1cm): The Basic has a little less depth, almost 0.5cm. I guess the straps make a big difference (or my measuring)? Ideally, I'd want that extra depth AND the straps moved in, but this is still almost perfect. Even with less depth, I don't feel squished at all because of the shape.

The apex is still just slightly too high on my smaller side, so I do need to use a cookie (these fit pretty well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HMW5MZ3/).

I got this from BoB on final sale for $21. I'm still figuring out my size, but I think I'm somewhere between a 26E/F. I got a 28F (60G, they didn't have a 26 band), and the shape seems to work really well for me! I'm very close set, round, with tall roots. The cup is a little too small, though. I'm keeping it, both because I can't return it and because it gives me great cleavage (I can finally throw out my old 32D pushup bras!). I'm going to try a plunge in 60H, because this bra seems very promising!

The bra is absolutely gorgeous, however I have some fit issues. I’m normally a 32GG (UK) and ordered a 32HH Comexim Piume Notte from break out bras (they recommend going up two cup sizes). I’m having some gaping issues due to my breast asymmetry and I’m worried about ordering one cup size down since it fits my larger breast perfectly. When I bend over, slouch, or lay down the bra has gaps. The other problem is it cuts into my armpit (which you can see in some pictures) and leaves painful marks there if I wear it for a long time. I may order one cup size down, or up in the band and one cup size down.
