Oh.My.God.Oh.My.God.Oh My God! Here I am wearing a size 28:7 bra! @Comexim Adore Plunge bra in 60F. This is my first shot at a Polish bra/ a bra based off of centimeters instead of inches. IMO, all brands should follow centimeters instead of inches as it is more accurate and allows for a greater range of sizes. It's so often you see women who need only a half cup size larger and that is just not available in UK/US bras. This bra fits! It actually FITS! It is my second real fitting bra (the other is more of a sexy bra, not an every day ... bra) that is not a sports bra. I will most likely try a 60E, 28:7 next time to compare and maybe get some cleavage like the Comexim models have.
THE BAND. This band was SO comfortable for me. It had no digging and did not move around. It was just really snug, like a firm hug. Which just seems like witchcraft to me because the materials don't seem all that different from my Claudette's or other bras. I believe it is just two layers of power mesh with thick elastic binding. There this very pretty "extended" band coming off of the bottom of the functional band that is a single layer if mesh and a very thin piece of elastic. As pretty as it is, it is highly unnecessary and non-functional. When I wore the bra to my ten hour shift, it rolled up almost immediately and could no longer be seen. I did make sure you could see it in the pictures.
THE CUP. This bra is considered to be a padded, plunge bra. Neither of which I feel are very descriptive of it. The cup is a three piece cup made out of very thin, stiff foam covered in a black mesh and finished with this darling gold binding at the top of the cup. This decorative binding causes the cup to be more closed on top, which is one of the main parts of this bra that I think make it fit me so great. While I do have tall-ish roots and I am mostly center/top full with more inner fullness that outer/bottom fullness, I feel that this cup fits me like a full coverage cup and follows the shape of my breast extremely well. The mesh does not feel particularly good or bad to my fingers, I don't really feel it all with my breasts. The left cup appears to be cut angled more upward and curled inward (smaller breast) while the right cup appears to cut straight coming out from the gore in an extreme-ish angle (larger breast). Because of this, the bra seems to fit my smaller breast better than my larger breast. The larger breast will gape before the smaller one will during normal activities where a stiff-padded cup bra would normally have a bit of gaping. The projection also seems quite perfect for me. If you need ALL THE PROJECTION, this bra may not be the best for you.
THE WIRES. The wires on this bra are fairly firm, not as firm as some I have tried, but they certainly aren't flexible by any means. They are also fairly short. Shorter wires usually cause my tissue to escape over top of these short wires but this rarely happens with this bra. During a ten hour shift I only felt the need to pull the top of my breast back in the cup like 2 or 3 times. They also have that "perfect" wire width for me, directly in between narrow wires and wide wires for my size range (about 4.5"). The wires never dug in.
THE GORE. Sits just about flat on my sternum and a little bit on my larger breast. I have this problem with are bra gores that are not plunges. The gore comes up way to high for me to consider this to be a plunge bra. It did seem to dig in from time to time. If it does not soften up with a few wears like my other bras have, I will simply bend them away from my body slightly. The wires do not overlap on this bra, they just sit cuddled next to each other.
THE STRAPS. The pretty gold binding along the top of the cup continues up the straps, stopping at the shoulder. This detailing makes the straps only partially adjustable. Which is generally just fine for me. The back of the gold detail/the rest of the strap is a soft, supple elastic which is comfortable and forgiving. They are what I would call an average width. They're not delicate and thin but they're definitely not super thick and unnecessary. They are pretty wide though. I would like to try the narrowed straps, but the wide ones don't really bother me. Them being so wide makes it really easy to show off the beautiful decoration. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
OVERALL. I really can not think of anything bad to say about this bra besides it's name not accurately describing the bra. I'd definitely just call it 'The Adore Bra." The gore is a normal height, the cups are a normal height and it's definitely not a full-cup bra. It perhaps could be called a balcony bra with a plunge-like detail. IMO, the cups create a fairly straight line across the chest with a slight plunge down to the gore.
It's beautiful. It's comfortable. It fits like a dream and the quality is high and noticeable. It could easily become a push-up bra if it have cookie pockets or a nice bump pad in the bottom. Perhaps a sling to assist with pulling the tissue even further towards the center of the chest.
I LOVE THIS BRA & look forward to trying more from @Comexim .

It's a bra with the moon on it. How really awesome!

So I bought this bra from a boutique all the way on the other side of the country (thanks kerniss!). $55 (+ $5 shipping) for a 60F that I figured wouldn't fit (given my try on of a 60F Ingrid). But you know what? This actually isn't terrible. As long as I don't totally swoop and scoop. If I press the gore down I do quad out and if I bend and shake, my left side comes out, cleavage like whoa though. Falling out is typically a deal breaker for me, but I was going to ... make an exception for the moon (how could I not? This bra controls the tides!). Turns out I don't have to since a kind user sold me her 60H.
I'll admit, even having a better fitting one, I'm still tempted to keep this. If I shrink, I'll never be able to replace it. But cooler heads prevail, and I've not actually shrunk in about 3 years or so despite intentional weight fluctuations. So, I guess I won't be greedy.
Anyway, this is probably the softest bra in the world. It's made of clouds, no kidding. I have a few Comexims now and a lot of really nice and comfortable bras. This one is the softest ever, Victoria's Secret soft.
I feel like this particular model runs a little bit bigger. I'm in a 65G/60H in Comexim and I could have pulled this off. The wires on the sides are a hairs breadth from sitting on tissue, but I wasn't collapsing the cup. Though I may have if I actually wore it for any amount of time. This is just under the 5x8-8.5 cup dimension I like in a lined bra, so 60F.5ish?
If you can find one in a size that you can make work, do it. It's really unique and so comfortable.

First things first, almost every part of this bra is a different shade of the same color. See pics for clarification. They blend and work fantastically together, and almost appear to be the same, but they're not. Secondly, the lace overlay is beautiful but already starting to pill over the cup. Neither are really a big deal, but something to be aware of.

I got this with an overlapping gore, straps moved in 2 cm, and cookie pockets. I feel like this asks for a hair more center projection than I have, but the slight shallowness pushes my boobs up and in, almost managing to compensate. Love it!

My first Comexim bra. Fits almost perfect. The gore is a little bit high for me, it doesn't lie absolutely flat, but it is not a great problem. I think underwires could be longer, but it is also not a big issue. I like the cup size and shape, I like the band size, it is perfect for me. Cups are soft, very comfortable and gorgeous. I like this bra. I will not wear it as everyday bra, but it will be one of my favourite.

60s fit. Measurements say I can wear a 60 comfortably. But it fees too tight for me. Not this 60 in particular, just my preference in general to have a bit more give. This bra is so luxurious! The feel of the fabrics and the touches of metallic accents. I did remove the tassel as it was a bit too much for my taste, for my size. I saw one in a 75J (ish?) and the tassel looked so much more balanced given the size of the cups.
I might try this bra again in a 65E or F.

I can't sing the praises of this bra enough! Whoever thought this gorgeous of a bra would actually fit *and* be comfortable *and* make me look good??

I decided to take the risk of trying a narrow Polish bra because most of my bras felt like there was extra space on the sides by the wires. I couldn't tell my root width because it looked like it was angled or slanted, widening out higher up like the Nike swoop. As it turns out, these narrow Polish cups cause me no discomfort either at the sides or at the gore. I can't tell if that's because the construction is ... narrow enough that the wires are well clear of tissue, because I'm used to the harsh, hard wires of Cleo and these wires are normal by comparison, or because the band is surprisingly loose (measuring at 29"+ for a 60 band).

Nonetheless, this is one of the most comfortable bras I've worn since leaving the bra matrix, and it plumps up my cleavage without any pads and doesn't flatten me out under a shirt like a lot of molded bras do. I've gotten tired of the front-and-center placement of Cleos that narrow me out completely from the front and hide my boobs unless I'm in profile, and this bra keeps me round all over and evenly distributed.

I could use a hair more projection in this bra since my scoop and swoop settles down slightly, but for a molded bra I'm not complaining! I can't tell if this bra had a manufacturing anomaly with the band being Freya-stretchy, but I would go down to a 55 if I could.

I love you, Ingrid.

I'm pretty much in love with Comexim bras at the moment. I bought this one after trying the Irish Coffee in a 60E and finding it slightly too small, so got this in a 60F. It's a really cute and fun bra, flirty where the Irish Coffee is sexy. The shape is pretty similar to the Irish Coffee: fairly open on top, narrowish wires (though noticeably wider than the 60E), with a medium amount of projection. The band is a normal 28 - I wouldn't recommend that anyone with similar measurements to me (27" snug) should size up in the band. I don't get spectacular cleavage in this ... bra, or in Comexims in general, but I do get a very nice shape I can only describe as "perky". They're the type of bras I can wear to work and still feel I have boobs, without being all "Hey! Would you look at my boobs, they're right here!!!"

I also ordered the matching undies, and they're just as cute as the bra. The back is frilly rather than elasticated, which means it doesn't cut in at all (I was a bit worried about that because they're shorts style undies, which usually aren't all that flattering on me). I'm definitely ordering the matching set in Comexim from now on, for which my bank balance isn't thanking me but whatever bank balance, like I care.

The cups do run a bit small (somewhere between 1 and 2 cups smaller than their size chart suggests), and the band was a bit tighter than I was expecting, but... she's so beautiful. I have rather tall roots (although it's mostly shallow "stealth boob" that doesn't show up until I put on a bra), so, even though I sized up a cup size, a 60F was a bit too short in the cups, as well as being a little tight in the band. Okay, it was uncomfortably tight in the band; I have a 28.5" underbust and absolutely should have just gone with a 65 (a 70 ... would definitely be too big, though). I think a 65F would be perfect. The straps are fully adjustable, and I requested that they be moved in for my narrow shoulders. The wires seem narrower than average, but maybe it's just the fact that they're so close together in the center gore that makes them seem narrow? They're nearly touching, which is apparently pretty great for cleavage. The seams/lace detail/bows do show slightly under tight, thin shirts. I wouldn't say it's padded, but there's enough of a lining to hide the fact that I do, in fact, have nipples. As for shape, it's round without being unnatural-looking, with quite a bit of lift. To me, the cups seem neither shallow nor projected, but this is the first bra I have ever worn that I could even pretend fits, so I don't have much to compare it to. As far as longevity goes, I wore this bra several times a week until I outgrew it about a year after buying it, and the wires aren't doing anything weird or painful, it seems to have kept its shape well, and the band is still uncomfortably tight, although perhaps a little less so than when I first bought it. I still have to use the loosest hook.

Love how it looks, but it's too shallow for my shape. Might try sizing up.

This bra has no custom alterations.

It's not just a black bra, it's special! The tassel is so unique and the little black line at the bottom of the band is attached with impossibly delicate little threads, practically invisible. It doesn't feel delicate though, it seems like a very sturdy construction.

The band is borderline too tight, though I just got it so I can't say how it will stretch with time. I find it tighter than Basic and Dottie.

The fabric is a little rougher than the Basic and Dottie, probably because of the mesh. It's a little bit more closed on top as well.

Finallyyyy a padded tan bra that works! After failing in all plausible versions and sizes of Deco and happening to find that Comexim works for me, I went for this. Gives infinite times more support than my old VS Pink tan padded bra.

The seam shows through thin shirts slightly.

The straps are a bit thick and sturdy for my liking, but it feels so much more supportive than my old tan 32B, so that's not a dealbreaker for me.

This bra has no custom alterations.

It's a very comfortable and soft fabric, like the old VS Pink bras I used to wear. I think this makes the band a bit more stretchy than my other Comexims, but not so much that I need to size down in the band.

Updated on May 03, 2016 Flag this

This is a very comfortable bra, but it just doesn't fit me. After experimenting with Comexim I would say that the wires, while narrow, are not for someone FOB. I think this bra would fit someone more evenly full. This bra has a reduced cup size and gore, but I think it still gives rather full coverage for someone in the smaller size range. The band is on the stretchy side with some give.

Updated on Nov 16, 2015 Flag this

First off this bra is beautiful. I love the bow, the lace, and the overall look. Unfortunately, the seams show through thin light colored fabric, but I was afraid it would be worse. It's wearable with a lot of different clothes.

The wellfitting calculator put me at a 55G, but I heard that both band and cup run small so I tried a few sizes. I found that the band runs a little big and the cup small, so this size didn't work out for me. I'm not sure the shape does either, but wires the seemed to be as narrow as I need.

If someone thought the shape would work for them, I'd recommend it as a comfortable, pretty, and reasonably priced bra.

You can look for a more detailed review in my 55H.
