Beautiful bra, the top does cause some visibility under certain shirts, though, so I am limited as to how I can wear this bra. It is very pretty and well constructed, but it is just a hair tight-feeling after a very long day, on me.
I wanted to love this, but I just don't. The top of the cup is a little too open for me, moresoe near the gore. And the bottom of the cups seem shallow.
I don't like this bra as much I thought I would. For some reason it fits okay on my smaller breast, but it's a little too big on my bigger breast. It's like the upper lacing is looser on the bigger side, or the top of the cup is more open on the right. There's space above the wire on both sides. The black lacing at the top of the cup makes this best for FOB. if I were to size down I'd have serious quadding/cutting in. The band is firm, I probably could have sized up.

For my very pale skin, this is a lovely nude. Because I requested asymmetry pockets, the bra is lined in very soft cotton. Additionally, this bra has straps moved inward and overlapping gore wires. The assembly quality is exceptional! Although the 65J Papillon three-part half cup fits, this is slightly less projected than the 65J Papillon. Even with an extender, the wires are distorting which is likely why it feels more shallow than the Papillon. Considering I need all the projection I can find, I am selling and plan to order this very versatile bra in a 65K three-part half cup. This will be a staple in my bradrobe because of the exceptional support and perfectly round shape it creates. These Comexim three-part half cups are perfect for my short-rooted, projected breasts.
I bought the same bra in 65J and 70J, but without the straps moved in or the overlapping gore-- silly me, I thought I could get away with an otherwise unaltered 3HC!
I'll work on posting measurements and such tonight. Spoilers: the 65J is too tight in the band and has noticeable quadding, mostly near the gore. The 70J seems better, but definitely feels like it would have been even better with the straps moved in.
Sigh. :-( :-( I received my final unaltered bras 3/22/16: wires sit on my breast tissue around the gore. Oh how it burns for hours after I remove the "torture device." ;-) I won't omit my list of alterations ever again.
This is a cool, vibrant red with shimmering red apples joyfully dancing across a matte, fine mesh. The cups are lined in red cotton, gore wires overlap, and straps have been moved inward. It is a bra that will generate a smile every morning....and night https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
It is too tall for my smaller breast one week per month, but this doesn't show under thin knits. It is shallow enough that I must bend the wires to create more space. This same technique was required for the 65J 3HC which I sold because there wasn't enough extra width to create enough immediate projection. I ...will update when I'm more comfortable with the space near the wire https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
4/15/16: Narrowing the wires from 6.3" to 5.75" has increased the immediate projection. Today, we spent three hours at the zoo with ten children, and I forgot I was wearing a bra. I was completely comfortable. If you require a shorter cup and immediate projection, bending Comexim 3HC wires can dramatically improve your fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
I'm making a fixture with which I will measure immediate projection; more science for this art (ABTF).
This has sufficient immediate depth for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Celebrating! Because 60 cm bands fit me well, I would not have ordered this size. Many thanks to my "boob cousin" for sharing!! Although I can easily fasten this on the tightest hooks, I need the width and depth of this size.
My best fitting bra, 65K Eris 3HC, often feels insufficient in immediate depth. Soon, a Comexim 65L 3HC will arrive. If the 65L does not provide enough immediate depth, I will order a 70J 3HC. I'm thrilled to find enough space at the wire. Reading ...the Comexim size charts, the 70J is designed to accommodate slightly more volume than the 65L....
The cup height and wings are too tall for my very short roots. However, I'm certain Comexim will make these alterations. Adding a cookie solves the height problem. In other bras/sizes, however, cookies made no difference in fit because my breast wasn't sitting close to the wire. This fits so much better than other sizes. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
If it isn't obvious, this was a delightful surprise! Again, thank you, imabratinfluence
This has a narrowed gore, cookie pockets (the cups are lined in the softest cotton knit), and straps moved in 2 cm. It is remarkably beautiful and a nude on my very pale skin. Great immediate projection, open cups, and accommodates short, projected breasts very well. The "narrowed gore" improves comfort enough that it is now a mandatory alteration for my Comexim orders.
This bra arrived without the narrowed gore. It does have the overlapping gore, but it remains too wide for me at the base of the gore. And, the wings are too high. In the past, moving the straps inward remedied the "wing bite." However, I will need another alteration before this is comfortable.
Despite this, the immediate projection and fit is great 2 weeks per month. The cup is too wide, but the immediate projection is sufficient. Wires do not press painfully into my ribs. I'm thrilled. So, I'll place another order. Sigh.
So beautiful: cookie pockets, straps moved inward, overlapping gore.
One of my sonias wasn't altered right too! I wonder if they weren't as careful when running out of fabric? I'm going to have to sell or trade one of my sonia's too. I should probably do both, but I'm ok with one cupsize too small and selling/trading a 50L band isn't happening. Unfortunately mine's a 55J and I need a 55L.
Ugh. The fabric shortage might have been the issue. The Garden of Eden (also fabric shortage) arrived as an unaltered plunge rather than a 3HC. Ugh. Ugh.
I have so adored this fabric. And, after discovering the comfort of a "narrowed gore," I ordered Tropical Garden with a "narrowed gore." It arrived with an "overlapping gore", but the gore base remained too wide. This causes the wire to sit on my right breast down the length of the gore and along the bottom of my breast. Sigh. I will order again and include a diagram. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
Beautiful, supportive straps, cotton cookie pockets, straps moved inward 2 cm, and an overlapping gore: this is a wonderful bra for narrow, projected, close-set breasts.
Very short, projected, even, somewhat narrow, close-set breasts...
The online photos of Veronique had never compelled me to give her a second thought. But, her measurements were beckoning. Thank you, Anya99 !!
Veronique is ADORABLE. Seriously, she causes me to smile https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Pale blue polka dots on a deep navy background wrap around the entire length of the band with vivid salmon lace trim and ribbons. Super cute bra and unique in my bradrobe.
Her band is stretchy as are the navy straps. The fabric is soft and stretchy. This is a very comfortable bra!!
Sadly, to achieve the immediate projection my breasts require, I need a wider Comexim cup. My breasts are somewhat suspended above the wire in these cups. I SO wish this wasn't true because this is a bra I'd love to keep!
This is my second beautiful Arizona; first was a 60J Plunge which I currently wear with an extender. Although the black lace has changed from a floral to a geometric pattern, this bra remains remarkably lovely! In person, this looks significantly more beautiful than Comexim's website photos. My very short roots are thrilled with this half cup! The wire width feels perfect, too. However, despite 65HH being a sister size to 60J, my breasts aren't experiencing lift in the 65HH that they do in the 60J. This bra settles down .75" below my IMF within 10 minutes: I need more immediate projection. I suspect there is a significant pattern change at "J" which works greatly in my favor. Arizona number three on order: it really is beautiful https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
I owned this bra, with delightful overlapping gore wires, two weeks ago....
However, I need a narrowed and overlapping gore. So, I ordered a Tropical Garden 3HC with a narrowed gore: it arrived with overlapping gore only. Tropical Garden was less immediately projected. Yikes!!! Thankfully, 65K Eris did not fit its current owner. So, she agreed to sell it back to me. I'm intensely grateful!! I will narrow the overlapping gore and feel happy. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
I love the color and design of this bra. Compared to the basic it runs about .5 cup size smaller. To my knowledge the basic runs a tad larger than other styles (correct me if I'm wrong about that). The band is more like a 50 than 55. The basic band is almost too big on me in a 55, while the mint in 55 I have to use with an extender. Ideally I would have gotten a 60H in mint while my size in the basic is 55H. I also don't think my shape is most compatible with the plunge style, so that is probably also contributing to why it's not a great fit on me. I love it so much I plan to repurchase in a 60H pl or in a 3HC.
This bra is a beautiful basic beige; the outer appearance isn't nothing special but the straps and band feels super comfortable. Although my measurements fit well to Comexim matrix, the bra cups went small by one or two sizes. My daily to-go size is Fantasie 34FF, this one feels like 34E/F.
I liked Victoria for quite some time and finally odered it. It looks great, but I don't think I'm a huge fan of the eyelash lace. Also the edge where the eyelash lace attaches closes of the cup a bit more and creates a bit of quad boob, not bad and it might not be noticeable in photos, but it's there.
This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered straps,
straps moved in 2cm, gore reduced 2cm, overlapping gore
Comexim went short on the band; it's a 30 but even at full stretch I can barely get a 29. The fit feels like it, too. For a lined bra, it has considerable depth. Something still doesn't fit quite right on me, but the bra itself is definitely well made for immediate projection. Definitely my best fit so far!
I bought the same bra in 65J and 70J, but without the straps moved in or the overlapping gore-- silly me, I thought I could get away with an otherwise unaltered 3HC!
I'll work on posting measurements and such tonight. Spoilers: the 65J is too tight in the band and has noticeable quadding, mostly near the gore. The 70J seems better, but definitely feels like it would have been even better with the straps moved in.
