I love it, but it is too small- probably by two cup sizes. I have a 70HH half cup Donna that still fits. My Ginger and Beauty padded half cups in 70HH are a cup size too small now. I think the Angel, like some people have said does fit small.
It is beautiful! Stretch mesh on the wing and back of the band. Same colour mesh no stretch in cups with lace edged cups.
Overlapping gore seems standard.
gore doen't tack and I stillspill over the top of the cup. However, the raised centre gore does seem to balance out the strap movement. I will reorder in a bigger size!

Definitely good for narrow roots. I'm a newbie and my boobs are different sizes and shapes so it makes it really difficult to accurately assess fit. But for the larger one that's almost 100% silicone, under the muscle HP implant, it fits well.
I think in this bra you need a 65FF or 65G. Typically when a band feels too tight it is because the cups are too small. It definitely looks like your being squashed in this bra. You also seem to have some spillage over the sides of the cups and it also looks like the top of the cup is cutting into your tissue. With a comfy rib measurement of 30" you should fit a a 30 band perfectly. Also, let me point out one thing, have you been wearing much larger bands? I know when I made the jump from 32 band to 28 band, the 28 band felt super tight. But after a while i got used to it and now I love it. Do your breasts feel like their being squashed into your rib cage? How does the under wire feel, is it sitting behind your root/breast tissue or on it? You have extremely projected and firm tissue so you'll definitely have an easier time fitting non-padded bras. It's REALLY HARD to get the perfect fit with a stiff padded bra. I also recommend getting a pad for the smaller breast (or a bunch of them and sew them into the bras), because you should always fit the larger breast and throw a pad in the cup of the smaller one to even them out. Squishing your larger breast is harmful to the health of the boobies!
Ordered a size too small, so I can't really review this bra. I will say that it took 20 minutes to snap myself into the damned thing, still couldn't tell you precisely how I did it. I wish I'd measured before I ordered! Don't be like me!
Very pretty bra. I am a sucker for black and pink. Paisley type design with a pretty pink ribbon along the edges.
I could probably use one larger cup size, but I am at the end of their sizing. I love the way that Comexim bras feel on me. They are narrow enough for my shoulders and I don't get rubbing from the straps. The gore on this one sits away from my body a little bit but for the most part everything is in the right place.
I've had my eyes on this bra for a long time, but before I had the chance to order from Comexim, they were out of fabric. When they popped up on Breakout Bras the other day, I couldn't miss my chance again and ordered this "28F" (these are tagged as UK sizes for some reason) right away.
Sadly, it's too small for me. I noticed some bubbling right away on my left sizes, and loosening the straps all the way made no difference. I was going to just put up with it as long as it didn't hurt, but after only an hour of wear, I could feel ...the pain of a too small cup on the left. I have very noticeable asymmetry, with the left being an E or F cup and and right being somewhere between D and E. This bra is supposedly a 28F, but I'll have to go up to a "28FF" (Comexim 60H) to fit the left side. Which probably means I'll have to stuff the crap out of the right side when my exchange comes, as it fits my right breast perfectly right now. :/
Aesthetically, I think this is the prettiest bra I've ever seen. I love the soft pink with the silver lace. I really hope Breakout Bras responds about my exchange soon and they don't run out of stock before I get a replacement! I'm determined to make this one work.
Update: Breakout Bras emailed me about a month later to tell me they didn't have anymore 28FFs, so unfortunately I won't be trying that size. :/ Read more 156 more words
Again, 3hc padded slightly smaller than soft cup so tiny bubbling, but, probably fine. Just want a higher gore again. Shape change from moving straps inward not present in padded as in unpadded. This one has wings a little higher.

comexim padded half cups fit a tiny bit smaller than the unpadded and I probably could go up a cup size on my larger side, but, it is debatable. I wish they had higher wings! The shape change from moving the straps inward in the soft cup is not present in the padded as I'd hoped, but I am still gonna go for the raised gore in future orders.

This bra is very comfy, the wires are soft. Band is TTS. The straps are a little bit too wide for my taste. Unfortunately it's too small on my bigger breast. I recognized a little bit of breast growth lately, maybe it fits better during non-hormonal days. Nonetheless a beautiful bra.
This bra looks and feels lovely, with its lacy yet fully-adjustable straps, and the pattern being on a mesh overlay rather than printed on the actual cups. It's probably the physically lightest bra in my size I've ever held as well! The wires are very very soft, and they feel like nothing when you're wearing the bra.
With this specific bra, I unfortunately ordered it one cup size too small so when scooped thoroughly my boobs quad badly, and when I don't they escape over the low wings and soft wires. Not a great look by itself, but surprisingly not noticeable under a shirt. I did get some movement ...out of my IMF but I think this is a combo of the slightly-too-small cup and the shape not being *quite* projected enough for me. The wires are the first I've found that fit my IMF perfectly though, so this is definitely the brand for me! The gore doesn't tack for the above reasons but it's about the same tack as my EMs, surprisingly.
My one qualm with the bra is actually the piece of fabric containing the eyes - it's quite thin, so I could feel the hooks through the fabric onto my back. The band is also perhaps 1-2mm narrower than this piece, which apparently had quite sharp corners so it was itchy as anything! I fixed this by rounding off the corners with nail scissors, but wasn't too thrilled about this.
I do love this bra though and I may give it another try in a 3HC (or at least a cup size up). Read more 156 more words
Beautiful quality as always from Comexim. Thought I had ordered the 3HC style from BraObsessed, but it turns out I ordered the PL instead. Although it's not my ideal size, the lack of fit was more of a shape issue - as I expected it unfortunately did not fit my FOB breasts which are much happier in 3HC styles. The lack of adequate projection for my breasts made the bra ride down on my ribs throughout the day. It's too bad because the black eyelash lace over the pale nude base would be a gorgeous addition to my collection.
So this is my first foray into Comexim and I am very pleasantly surprised with the overall fit, even if this bra wasn't quite perfect.
After these bras had been posted I'd realised that I may have been better off with the next cup size up, and trying it on has confirmed this. I get all sorts of spillage, particularly over the outer wire, not because my root is too wide but because the cup isn't big enough and the wire is just a bit too short for all of my tissue. The physical proportions of the cups almost over-emphasize that the cup is too small - it reminded ...me of my old 36Cs. The lace isn't stretchy but it does encapsulate the breast tissue well, although I get the tiniest bit of quadding when fully scoop-and-swooped.
That being said, this bra does just about work for me. None of these fit issues are obvious underneath a shirt, except that I get a bit more bounce than I would with my Panaches. The wires are beautifully narrow for me, and are determined to stay in my IMF - they are also surprisingly soft, especially compared to my EM bras. I do get a soft tack on the centre gore, which is a bit lower than average for Comexim (I didn't request this). I had requested the straps to be moved in 1.8cm however comparing to other bras I don't believe this was done.
So ultimately, slightly disappointing for my first experience, but I'm definitely going to order again. Read more 149 more words
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
This is my first attempt at Comexim custom fits. It is almost perfect, but not quite. I had the ordinary cup construction replaced with their three part half cup pattern with two vertical seams. This gives enough immediate projection and a fairly round shape. I also had the straps moved inwards by two centimetres. This was not quite so successful ...when it comes to both straps that fall off my shoulders and straps that dig into the front of my armpit! Why cant all my bras be like this?
However, by altering the attachment point, I seem to have changed the horizontal tension and thus the shape of the soft cup. Insead of being normally shaped according to the half cup design, it seems loose by the centre gore and tight by the strap attachment. This gives a shape that has a flat plane angling inwards and down in the top of the cup at the strap attachment. I will exaggerate it in a picture to show you what I mean. I decided to order a new bra like this with a raised gore, thinking that by increasing the attachment point at the centre will add the necessary horizontal tension to support the shape. As I have a slight centre fullness, there is no gaping. It is a bit odd, but once I got used to it, I thought it fairly wearable.
As to the Donna, the embroidery is a bit itchy. Maybe a wash will help? The centre gore is tiny, the straps are ribbed and thus no-slip, and the mesh is not elastic, but has a little give in the bias. I was very surprised by the cup width measurement as it seems so much narrower. I guess the narrow centre gore and the half cup design account for it.
I will post my review on the new design when I get it. Read more 269 more words
I got this secondhand as a size-tester since my recent shrinkage. It's been loved, but still has life left. It's very beautiful! Typical narrow Comexim wires, good apex projection, slightly less immediate projection than the 3HC cut. Now that I have more bras that serve as a "nude" for me I'm going to pass it along.
I was nervous about this bra because I bought it on the Facebook swap page and it's a cup size smaller than the 3HC Comexim I have, but somehow it miraculously fits! I feel like I say this about every bra, but it might be my best fit yet? It's very comfortable. I normally have issues with wide-set straps cutting into my shoulder/armpit area, but this one doesn't even come close. I do have to wear a pad on my smaller side to correct asymmetry, but I do that in all my padded bras to prevent gapping. For what it's worth, my UK size is typically a 34GG; ...my other Comexim bra (75K - Comexim » Sonia Half Cup (406) ) is a cup size larger than that if you go by the index sizes; that makes this bra more in line with my UK size, although it's smaller than my other Comexim.
The shape it gives is fairly natural, at least for me. It's nowhere near as perfectly round as my 3HC or my Ewa Michalak bras. It's not really pointy or torpedo-esque, just unobtrusive. I love the colors and materials. My husband, without knowing anything about the bra, actually asked, "is that a coffee-colored bra?" so I think the name is spot on for the color combination! I can tell upon close inspection that the materials/workmanship is just a smidge lower quality than my Ewa Michalak bras, but still great and definitely on par with my UK mass-produced bras like Fantasie and Panache. I especially appreciate the details - the little peach bows, the brown satin at the edge of the cup, and the gore decoration are very nice!
The gore on this particular bra was raised, which I was worried about at first (the gore on my 34GG - Panache » Clara Full Cup Bra (7255) is on the verge of being too tall and I have a very short torso anyway) but turned out to be a non-issue. The bra still reads as a "plunge" to me and I don't have any issues with the gore being too tall or shabby. If I compare this to my other Polish plunge 75GG - Ewa Michalak » Pl Mojito , I think I prefer this one for everyday wear as the padding isn't quite as stiff, although the EM plunge gives more cleavage.
Overall, this bra made me a believer in Comexim's plunges, and this one is so comfortable I've ordered a custom nursing bra in their Elena plunge model. Usually I just get by with converting older bras into nursing bras and using them until they disintegrate. I wear regular bras at work during the week, and nursing bras on the weekends when I'm at home with the kids, so this is high praise that I special ordered a Comexim nursing bra for the weekend rotation!
