The cup height is tall, too tall for me. It might have worked if it was a cup size or two larger. Really cute. The ribbon at the top of the cup somehow still cut in, even though it was too tall.
I'm generally a 32FF in UK sizes, and am soft with projected omega shape, narrow and short rooted but FOT. The band on this bra is definitely snug, I'm using an extender to add about an inch. There is one other thing I don't like about the band, which is that the elastic on the bottom of the band feels like it sticks out a lot more than the rest of the fabric of the band, and over the day it can dig in. I find Ewa Michalak more comfortable in the band than this Comexim, the only I've tried to date. I don't totally fall into the ...middle of this bra like I tend to in plunges - I just fall out a little without some reverse scoop and swoop. It's more careful positioning of my breasts than reverse S&S as my entire breast is still in the cup, the bra just wants my apex to be further out than it is. I think this cup is a little wider than EM and not ideal for my very short and narrow roots. The gore doesn't tack, maybe because of the soft wires, and if I press the gore to tack I get some quadding without more reverse scoop and swoop but as is the cup size is fine. Although I don't think this bra is the right shape for me, comfort wise it's good except the issue with the band I mentioned - once my boobs settle into their slightly-fallen-out position, they don't move around or jostle - and the slightly shallow shape gives me some very slight pressure on the underside of my boobs. The wires overlap at the top of the gore, which is nice! The shape this bra gives is quite lovely, rounded cakes on a plate. It is lightly padded so there is a little boost to apparent size. The straps are a wonderfully wide, smooth and sturdy satiny material which do not slip in the adjusters at all, and in this size there are 3 rows and 4 columns of hooks. I've sold this bra with regret, it was very beautiful but not the best fit for me. Read more 256 more words
This band is tight, and I noticed the wires were pulled really wide. So, I added two full extenders. The immediate projection immediately improved https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> However, the narrow gore I requested arrived as an overlapped gore. This gore, although delightfully narrow, still sits on my right center-full breast. Now, Ivonne is no longer available. Perhaps if I beg, they will have enough scraps to assemble a 65K with a narrowed and overlapping gore. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> Begging commences now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
Like the two other Ivonnes I have ordered, I strongly prefer Comexim unlined bras over all the others. I just need to identify the correct size and alterations.
This bra is super comfy and I love how it fits! However, I'm not convinced that the alterations that I had requested were actually done. I asked for reduced cup height, but there is still some strap gap (which I don't usually get with a reduced cup height). However, this difference might be due to how closed on top the bra is, so I'm not sure if it was done.
I also requested a lowered and overlapping gore, which are new alterations for me. However, I'm not sure if either were done.
Sigh. I wish there was a more visible way to know if the alterations were completed.
Beautiful on you, nonetheless :-) :-)
DressTheTwins Me too :/ Other than the cookie pockets and the overlapping gore, the rest are just kind of a guess. And I can usually tell for the straps since I've moved in all of them, but there's some weird phenomenon there where a standard 2cm move in seems to make them feel wider for most people (including myself).
But I do love this bra either way. Its also extremely soft because the band is lined with some sort silky stretch fabric rather than a power mesh. It does make the band stretchier than most Comexims, but most of my recent Comexim bands have been a little small so this one is pretty much true to size.
Hilarious. Cookie pockets and overlapping gore are the two that were included on mine. :-) The one bra that has enough immediate projection didn't have the straps moved in (ate my armpits) or reduced cup height. Sigh. Being short, these alterations are critical to my comfort. "Extremely soft" sounds blissful :-) :-)
DressTheTwins Luckily reduced cup heigh isn't necessary for comfort reasons for me (full cup heigh isn't uncomfortable under the arm, its just a little tall at the strap). But I definitely need the straps moved in
The lowered and overlapping gore are really slight alterations. If you look very closely at the top of the gore you can tell if it's overlapping or not. I actually have a picture of my two sonias (one where they forgot the alterations& one with overlapping and reduced cup). I uploaded them on my phone just now, so I'll message them to you!
girl333 Thanks for the picture! The gore definitely isn't overlapped (that's about what I expected it to look like). I'm still not positive on the lowered gore since most of my orders I've raised the gore (so its lower in comparison, but it could just be a standard height), but I'd assume since the gore isn't overlapped and I don't think the cup height was lowered that the gore probably wasn't lowered either
This bra was my first attempt at getting my Comexim size, and I didn't quite get it right. I think this fits more like a 60K. But this is a wonderful, comfortable bra and I look forward to ordering a better size.
This bra is great quality all-around, and I would keep it but for the fact that 1) the band is just too tight on me (prego!) without an extender, cutting into my side chub and the cups cut a bit into the far sides of my boobs and I don't love that, and 2) the cut of the plunge is just too low for my comfort... Oh, and the gore isn't tacking for me :-/
It's really very comfy and the softness of the inside of the cups is great. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a basic bra with great projection. It seems well-suited for FOB breasts. It's just not a perfect cut for me! I need a full-cup bra for my soft-tissue, pendulous breasts. =)
Too projected for me! If the cups were reduced a bit, it might work. Too much open space up top. Half-cups and balconettes are just not for me. It's suuuuch a beautiful bra and how I wish it worked, but alas.
I find the band to be less than comfortable, but I have pretty sensitive skin and a lot of chub on that sensitive skin for the bra to dig into. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
Comexim bras are just not for me, I guess! I've been trying several in the last few weeks. My soft tissue, pendulous breasts don't work in their extremely projected, open-cup style. I need full-cup coverage.
I love this bra so much. The band is comfy on basically all of the hooks depending on how snug I want it a particular day, although it's quite firm. It doesn't have much stretch at all, so sometimes the bottom right-side elastic of the band will dig into me by the end of the day, but it's not bad enough that it makes me chafe or bleed. The wires are a perfect width for me, and the cups are a perfect depth and height (thanks to the lowered cup alteration). The gore soft tacks on me, which I'm not concerned with because it doesn't affect how supported ...I feel in this bra. The straps are a good width/placement on me (they may have been moved in, but the previous owner can't remember for sure). The straps are also fully removable, which I don't think I've seen in a Comexim bra before, so that might've been a requested alteration as well. The design of this bra is also lovely, with the black mesh overlay over the beige base (nude for me) and the oriental-inspired flowers. It gives me a great shape and the cups and gore are low enough that it doesn't show even under the lowest v-neck tops and dresses. Read more 103 more words

Lowered cup height, possibly lowered gore and moved in straps
Very cute and well structured bra. Gives a nice lift. The trim shows through thinner shirts but the strap detail is cute when it peaks out. Mesh type outer cup. Will be listing as I need a bigger size.
Super cute and well-made but got the wrong size, need to go up cup size to fit my breasts. Bra cups were a bit shallow so if you're very projected like I am go up a cup size like I'm going to have to. Material feels nice against skin and colors are bright and vibrant.
A regular Comexim plunge with no alterations. This is the correct size for me, however the taller cups are not flattering and I get no lift whatsoever. The gore is too tall and sits on my breast tissue. It's quite nice but now I know for sure I need alterations.
omgosh this is SO pretty & so comfy! i feel like a snob because i found my "perfect" bra! comexim has the best wires for me, and i'm able to go a cup size up to get the immediate projection i need, and then alter the gore down/closer (i'm extremely close set,) reduce cup height, add an extra row+column of hooks, etc. its AMAZING. so now i buy the "softest" or "silkiest" that i can find, and get them w/cookie pockets (those are cotton) and I've been in HEAVEN... the fabric on Florence is just beautiful, and the green ribbon adds such a pop!
Floral w/green ribbon colorway

Altered straps,
Straps moved in, lowered & overlapping gore, cookie pockets, 3x4 hooks, (possible lowered cups)
This bra is GORGEOUS! Omg. So cute! I love it! Unfortunately my boobs have gotten bigger since I ordered this bra and therefore the cups are a bit too small … but I am definitely going to re-order it in a larger cup size. The plaid is a bright red that is more on the pink/cooler side (it is NOT an orangey red) and super pretty. The ribbon at the top does not close off the bra and i would say that this is good for FOT boobs. I am FOT and even with the too small cups I barely have any quadding. After I receive this bra in my correct size I will write another review https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I wanted this to fit soooo bad even tho I knew the cup volumn would be too big. It works with push up pads added, but even then the gore is too tall for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> such a beautiful and gorgeous patten and fabric! Such a rich color palate. Really wish it fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Same issues as other Comexim bras I've ordered from them directly; I'm not sure the straps were narrowed enough. It's hard to tell if they actually did the alterations asked, too, since it doesn't say anywhere in the package when you order. Anyways, this is a pretty, if basic, beige bra that fits everywhere on me but the straps. The wires are narrow and perfect for me; Comexim is pretty much the other brand I can wear now without having crazy underwire problems in the armpits.
This pattern/fabric is gorgeous. I love the orange/rust colored roses on the nude fabric. It's stunning! However, the fit is not the best and I can't quite figure out why since every other Comexim I have is the same size - 75F - and my other bras fit just fine. The cups are very low - almost as though they are reduced cups - and cut into the top of my boobs. I did not request any alterations for this bra. I have read that the lace can cut in on Comexims, but I used to have the Geisha and that fit just fine. As much as I adore the look of this bra I may have to part with it and sell it. Unfortunately it just doesn't work for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The band is a 34 which I will alter down to be a 30 since its stretchy. The cups are nearly 2 sizes too large, which is what I was expecting. If I wear push up pads in the bra I get some killer cleavage though, Hahaa! I love the way the cups come together at he gore- really allows for my close tissue without pain. Not sure if that would be the case if the cups were the correct (smaller) size though. Will update/add once I finish alterations

Altered straps,
i altered the cups as they were too open on top & was about a cup volume too large. i also moved in the straps. i am not a seamstress so it doesnt look perfect but its comfy & i love it!
I just quickly tried this bikini top on and I´d estimate that the fit is good enough for me to keep it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It also feels very comfortable and the support feels okay.
The colour is very orange, as orange as orange can get! Very bright and deep. I love it!
My usual bra size is 28F/28FF. This bikini top fits quite okay. However, cups are slightly too small and band slightly too big but they are tolerable. The band is actually very short but it stretches very much. I don´t know if one cup size up would be perfect or if I´m between sizes here, the quadboob I get is very minor. The wires would be too narrow for me but they stretch so that they match my shape very well when I wear it.
Overall, there are some very minor fit issues, but the fit is quite good and I´m definitely keeping it!!!
For reference my shape is narrow, tall, FOT, close-set, and slightly shallow. I think this bra is really lovely. That said you may want to size up and/or order in 3HC style unless you are very shallow. I generally wear 28D and found this to be a bit to wide and compressing for me. The gore is also a little too wide for me, but better than most non-plunges. The band runs a little tighter than most 28s, so this would be a good option for those who are 26 or less.
Sigh. I wish there was a more visible way to know if the alterations were completed.
