I want so badly for this bra to be right. I really, really do! It is so pretty and I really prefer an unlined bra vs a lined or padded one.
Some people have found this bra to be scratchy, which I can see a bit from the embroidery. I wasn’t bothered by it for the short period I was trying it on. The embroidery is very pretty, but it is somewhat raised. This would be best to wear with a structured shirt or something heavy like a sweater if you don’t want to see the bumpiness. The mesh lining is much softer, which was lovely.
The straps are also ... embellished, which is lovely but impractical. You cannot fully adjust the straps because of the ribbon and embroidery on the front of straps.
My fit: The wire width is correct. The gore doesn’t quite tack for me, but I could live with it. I went with my true size because other Comexim styles I’ve tried were far too open on top when I sized up. This was a mistake. I am quadding out even on my smaller side. It also rides too close to my armpit on the side for my preference. It shows when I wear a high cut tank (which is basically my daily wear).
I also have a (perhaps unrealistic) expectation for a different shape. I thought I would get better lift when I find a bra that fits. You can see my unrealistic expectations in the pic where I am pulling up by the strap.
