This review was written in September 2017 when bra first received & may not be completely accurate at this time. (Yes, I am too lazy to update it, as I never wear this bra and so I really don’t know how it fits any more….)
Vogue Purple is normally a beautiful purple stretch lacy long line bra with black foam lined demi/shelf undercups. It has the classic halter tank look from the front though it does have the standard two straps in the back. There are no removable pads in this bra. I ordered it this time with a regular band (not longline) ...in 60P.
The band measures 21.4” with a max of 30” stretched. I ordered mine with an extra set of eyes, so it has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eyes. This doesn’t add length to the band, but does allow for a tighter set prolonging the life of the band.
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: 14.5”
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.
This stretch doesn’t factor in the purple lace overlay halter area which is very stretchy, only the black undercups. The black under cups measure 6.5” tall which is 1” below my nips but the purple lace does cover them nicely (at a height of 10” at the center) and I don’t feel exposed or unsupported at all.
As for the specifics of the purple lace halter, it measures 16.5” tall unstretched to 23” tall at full stretch, from the center bottom of the cup to the top of the purple where it attaches to the straps. If measured from the armpit side of the wire, it is 10.5” unstretched and 16.5” full stretch from the top of the wire to the strap connection.
As for the fit: The band feels comfortable loose on the tightest set of eyes, which was a bit disappointing. It doesn’t feel unsupportive per se, but I was hoping for a comfortable to snug fit on the loosest setting instead of the tightest one.
The cups fit full and tack very nicely, mostly due to the low center gore. The purple lace halter area is really too tall for my high set roots, making the purple part end over my shoulder & 2” down my back. This also greatly shortens the usefulness of the straps, which barely shorten enough for me. As stated above, my nipples sit 1” above the top of the black under cups, but are nicely covered by the purple lace. If I order again, I will definitely be asking for the purple lace to end 3” shorter so that the purple ends in the front just before hitting my shoulder. This should help with the strap issue, as well as making the purple lace a bit more supportive. I’d consider this a great all day lounge bra due to the loose yet comfortable fit. It really feels like I’m braless while wearing it. Seriously feels like I’m just in a tank top instead of a bra.
Final item to be noted: the thread color used on this one was black, while on the Long line version I got it was a very light lavender color. The black thread stands out more, and I feel it’s not as ascetically pleasing. It doesn’t look bad, and if I didn’t already have the Long Line to compare it to, I may not have noticed it at all, but in comparison, I like the lighter stitching better by far.
Runs pretty shallow with a lot of space on the sides. However I have a lot of immediate projection on the bottom and sides and the gore still sits on my sternum. The band is not that tight compared to my other 30" bras. The construction seems pretty solid and I like that there are three hooks.
I have never worn Comexim before and didn't guess my size correctly, hence why I'm selling this bra. So I will say little on the fit, since it doesn't fit me, but lots on the quality. I've worn a lot of cup size swimwear and this is amazing quality. No flimsy plastics, everything is metal. The straps are fully adjustable, the hook in the back is metal, and everything has a really nice high end feel. These are good quality materials. It was underwires and I think would be a fantastic supportive but cute top for someone.

Kameleon is a padded bra sized bikini in a plunge style. Its pattern is a multi-colored snake/chameleon look. The padding is thin foam lining, without any additional/removable push up pads.
The band measures 22.75” to a max of 32.75” but I must note that there is only a single metal clasp on the band, making it not adjustable.
Cup depth was 12” as measured by hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup without any resistance, to a max ...of 13.5” stretched over the knee.
The bottoms in Medium measured 62cm unstretched to 114cm stretched (24.4”-44.85”). Comexim mediums are supposed to be for 93-101cm.
As a side note, when Comexim confirmed my order, they asked if I wanted this one as it was on their site or if I’d like the Samoan style instead. I chose the site style, but wonder if the Samoan wouldn’t have been a better fit or more adjustable. I figured it was worth mentioning for anyone who would be interest in this one, that the Samoan style in the Kameleon print is an option.

Super Dots is normally a padded half cup bra, but Comexim sent it to me in a balcony instead. I did not order it in a balcony, so I don’t know why they changed this. The pattern is tan with black micro dots. The cups are padded with light foam lining, really more for support than added volume.
The band measures 22” to a max stretch of 32.25” and has 3 hooks and 3 rows of eyes.
Cup depth is 12”as measured by hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup without any resistance, to a max of 13.5” stretched over the knee.
The material/main pattern for this one is the same as Gaia’s Ida Maxi bra, and is far too stretchy for the liner that is under it, which caused the material to be wrinkled while the liner is not. Very poor quality.

Vogue Purple is a beautiful purple stretch lacy long line bra with black foam lined demi/shelf undercups. It has the classic halter tank look from the front though it does have the standard two straps in the back. There are no removable pads in this bra.
The band measures 22.65” to a max of 30” and has 5 hooks and 4 rows of eyes.
Cup depth is 11# as measured by hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup ...without any resistance, to a max of 14.5 stretched over the knee. These measurements are for the black part of the cup, not including the purple lace part which is super stretchy. The cup height for the black part is 6.25” with the purple being at 10” at the center of the cup. The center gore wires overlap beautifully.
The wing is 5.75” to the black strap band, and 9” to the bottom of the lace.
As for fit, the straps were set perfectly. The black part of the cups ended 1” below my nips, but there was no quad boob or odd look due to the curve of the cup. My nips were covered by the purple lace so I’m not completely sure if the cups were supposed to be a shelf type or if they were technically too small for my breasts, but it’s what I classified as fitting at the time since it looked great on and under clothing.
The purple lace was super stretchy but not supportive. The lace ended on the top of the shoulders with bows which felt/looked a bit odd. Due to the lack of support of the lace on the cups (and the short/demi style black undercups) I wouldn’t suggest running in this one!
Ingrid in 28KK The Ingrid is a padded plunge bra in a floral cream pattern. I fondly refer to it as the “old lady pattern” because it reminds me of the pattern of furniture in my grandparent’s home when growing up. This particular Ingrid came from Breakout Bras.
The band measures 22” to 30.5” max stretch, and came standard with 3 hooks and 4 rows of eyes.
Cup depth was 12.25” as measured by hovering the cup between the knees and placing the tape measure into the cup without any resistance, to a max of 14” stretched over the knee.
The Straps are a bit too wide set for my comfort, and the curve of the cup sides are too high for my arms, which isn’t usually an issue with my Comexim bras. The quality of this one was poor compared to all the bras I’ve gotten from Comexim direct.

The fit is perfect. I had it made as a plunge because the half cup style doesn’t fit me. It’s mislabeled as a 60O but it’s the 65 that I asked for. Medium bottoms are spot on for a size 6/8. Had the waist band raised for more coverage.
