It is so bright and beautiful. Every bra enthusiast needs a red bra in their drawer imo. The gore has been custom narrowed and overlaps a little, amazing. The bra fits perfectly with the exception of the band being a little loose and stretchy but with a rixie clip it's wearable. Apparently this model's band runs a little stretchier than most comexims. Gives a round full shape as comexim does so well. The inside wing fabric is the most soft and silky fabric I've ever felt on a bra!
Me: tall roots, close-set, average or narrow width, even but functionally FOT, centre-full, size asymmetry. 26" and 34" leaning.
I got this used so the band is a little stretched out and it is not quite as supportive as a new bra. I will try a Rixie Clip, as it's too loose, even on the tightest hooks. The fit is OK, except for some quad boob on my left side. It's quite comfy and very pretty. Comexim 3HCs fit me a little better than the plunges. I have very soft breasts with narrow roots. They are centre-full, full on bottom with lots of immediate projection.
This bra fits well and the band length is comfortable on my 25" ribs. I just get a bit of quad boob on my larger side. The style is good for my centre-full, FOB breasts.
The Rita is a pretty good fit- similar to the Adore. Cups are a bit taller than I need but OK. I get a small amount of gaping on my small side when I hunch. I would prefer a little more projection above the wires. I find it slightly flattens and spreads my breasts whereas I would prefer them to be more cupped and projected forward. I think I need to try the 3HCs. I would also like this bra to have cookie holders like the Ewas for symmetry correction. The padding in the Rita is very thin and light and the fabric is not super soft but not scratchy either. Appearance-wise, it is gorgeous. The eyelash lace is delicate and beautiful.
I'm really disappointed in this bra. I bought two Comexims before and they were size 65 and soooo big on me. So I sized down to a 60 and it's incredibly tiny. I need two band extenders. Hopefully it'll stretch quickly.
So sad to read this! Does it at least fit outherwise? I ordered the beauty in 60HH so I am really curious about your messurements! Are you hving a 2part hc or a 3 part hc?
Fits perfectly besides that. It's non returnable as well :( I'll be entering the measurements shortly.
I think I had read that Beauty runs tight. I think Charme does too.
The bras with lace around the band I order one band size up. They are even tight then.
I have a Charme and while it isn't unbearably tight, it is the smallest Comexim band I own at the moment
It's a gorgeous bra. I'll be wearing it with two extenders.
My other 65s stretched to 71. This is a 60 and stretches to 57.
While it mostly fit, I did need an extender with it. The cup seemed to be a bit shallow and I got slight quad which I hoped using the extender would help some, but I still had slight quad. I will probably try this bra again in a different size possibly 65H with reduced cups.
Welp, this bra is amazing. The one I have has 3 clasp closure, lowered gore, and reduced cups. It fits smaller than the other 60H Comexim I have although I think that's mostly because I'm fairly projected on the bottom/middle and then shallow up to my collarbone. This bra is snug and comfortable along with being a super beautiful fabric! It's convinced me to buy reduced cup Comexims now!
I had lusted over this bra for months before eventually emailing the company hoping for sizing assistance. I gave them my measurements and she suggested I try a 60H... I was afraid the bra was going to be far too large for me, but in the end it was the opposite! Way too small, center gore can't lay flat and there's quadboob.
I'm bummed that it doesn't fit because it's a gorgeous and well-made bra!
After some confusion over figuring out my sizing I ordered this final sale from breakoutbras and was pleasantly surprised that it is a good fit. I had wanted to try comexim for a while but was put off by the weird sizing. For reference, I fall somewhere between UK 28E/30DD and 28F/30E. Because I purchased this from breakoutbras, it has a UK size on it, but Bratabase automatically sets comexim bras to EU sizing under the public view.
It gives a nice shape and the seams don't show up too bad under clothing. As an additional benefit, it is very comfortable. In the past I have found the center ...gore to be a little irritating on some bras - not an issue with this one. It has a decent amount of projection, but not very much immediate projection. The material is on the stiffer side. However despite all the positives I get gapping near the gore at the top of the cups if I am in any position besides perfectly upright like in the photos. I'm not sure what that indicates. I think it could have to do with the lack of immediate projection making the cups warp a little? Or maybe it is better fit for FOT? Sometimes bras still leave me stumped.
I may be wrong, but It seems like comexim has several other bras with the same cut as this one, all with different model numbers and names. Visually it looks similar to their other padded plunge bras but I can't directly compare material. I usually look bras up on here before I buy them and this made it difficult to figure out which models this one would be similar too. I don't know if all the comexim padded plunge models are made from the same pattern. I guess I will have fun with that when it comes time to replace this one. Read more 206 more words
This bra runs smaller in the band than I anticipated, much like my Ginger plunge. On the outermost hooks it felt fine against my ribs, but the gore told a different story. I added an extender, but that still wasn't quite enough. It took a gentle bend of the gore to totally stop the poking, but now it's basically perfect. The only issue is that the underwire on the left side is missing from the gore (I believe it was modified to be overlapping). It doesn't seem to cause any fit issues, thankfully. The fabric at the center tends to want to gap slightly more than the ...other 2 Comexim plunges I have (Ginger and Tropical Garden) but otherwise fits the same. The underwires are also a bit wider on this one, so they are sitting outside my IMF. It's not to an annoying degree though, so I'm not fussed.
Edit February 2024) I fixed the wire channeling to be closer together to hopefully fix the gapping issue, and it seems to have worked. This bra doesn't migrate like my Ginger or Tropical Garden, thankfully. It also now fits better without needing an extender. Read more 86 more words

The left underwire is cut short, so I overlapped the underwire channels a bit.

Edit February 2024) Much the same as the Ginger bra I have, this one has stretched out a bit over time and fits great without an extender. The migration on my later side over time is more prominent, but it's okay. I might try to bend the wires a little since they are a little wide, so maybe that will help the fit and reduce moving.

I've never had a bra actually sit in my outer IMF, so this is lovely.
Edit Feb 2024) After having this bra for a little while, the band has stretched enough so that I can wear it on the tightest extender hook now. I've also lost a bit of weight and my ribcage is a little smaller from that, so that helps. I notice that this bra can migrate down out of my IMF during the day, and it buckles a bit when it does sit in my IMF. I think it's not quite projected enough at the wire, but this doesn't effect my comfort during the day so I'm not too worried about it. Still very comfortable and pretty.
I just got this from another bratabase user but it is too shallow/cups are too small for me. I'm a projected 28F with firm tissue and the gore is floating pretty bad on this one.
This bra is too short & small in the cups for my very projected 28FF/G boobs. I had quadboob and side boob - NOT cute. I really wish it had fit me, though, since it is so so so pretty ðŸ˜ðŸ˜.
I was intrigued by the Mimi style but knew that the 2HC version didn't work for me, so I ordered them in my 3HC customizations. I had asked for the straps to be moved in another 2 cm but I don't think this was done, however these seem to fit pretty well and are comfortable around the armhole, so this is not too much of a concern.
Requested customizations: - Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction - Cup depth: add 1.5 cm to center of cup, total depth 21 cm - Cup height: Reduce 1.5 cm, total height 12 cm - Gore: Reduce 1.5 cm to keep ...original cup shape - Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm
Both my Beige and Black Mimi 3HCs fit wonderfully. The 3HC shape is a little shallow on me and the cup is a tad short at 12 cm (I keep asking for 12.5 cm but end up getting 12 . . .), so it has a slight minimizing effect from the side profile while I could use a little more cup coverage, but overall I like the versatility of this silhouette when I want something with a lower neckline and less visible seams than the Plunge fit, which is my preference. I love that Mimi comes in the same lightweight mesh that I love from Ingrid and Pearl Flower Mint, but in a solid! Mimi and Elena are almost the same style, so if you request them in the same fit, the main difference will be that Mimi has lace trim at the upper cup and Elena does not. However, trims are the same on both styles. I also only requested one bow on the center gore of Mimi instead of the double bow shown in the picture.
The two Mimi 3HCs are identical to each other in fit despite small differences in measurement. Strap placement is confusing-- when worn, the straps are set in closer than the Rose Half Cup from my most recent order, but the same as the Pearl Flower Mint 3HC. When comparing the Mimi bras against these two styles on the flat, it does look like the outer cup is reduced under the arm. I can't tell if this is an intentional change or if the shape of the underwires used is slightly different. Read more 311 more words

I ordered this second Elena basically expecting to get the same customizations as I got in my previous Elena, but this is actually based off of the last Ingrid I ordered from January 2021. It is virtually the same as the previous Elena except I had asked for the arm to be cut in a bit further. Actually I can't tell much of a difference to see if this was done, but the armhole on this bra is not uncomfortable, which is great!
Requested customizations: - Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction - Cup depth: add 1 cm to center of cup, total depth ...21 cm - Cup height: Reduce 1 cm, total height 14 cm - Gore: Reduce 1 cm to keep original cup shape - Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm
Styling-wise, the only difference between this new Elena and my previous one is that I had asked for the other Mimis in my order to be made with only one center bow instead of two, and this might have been why Joanna did not include bows at the strap attachments like on my previous Elena. The scalloped bow lace at the cradle is a little more pink on the new bra and more beige/brown on the older bra, but otherwise the trims are identical. Band on this bra measures closer to spec as the last one was a little snug.
The fit is identical to my last Elena bra, and the straps are not moved in as much as my last Ingrid or the Mimi Plunge from the same order, although the fit was supposed to be the same. Read more 192 more words

I ordered this per the modifications on my last Ingrid from Jan 2021:
Requested customizations: - Wire size: normal for 60H, 21.5-22 cm before gore height reduction - Cup depth: add 1 cm to center of cup, total depth 21 cm - Cup height: Reduce 1 cm, total height 14 cm - Gore: Reduce 1 cm to keep original cup shape - Move in straps and change angle of outer cup: I sent a picture but had wanted to reduce the upper portion of the armhole by 2 cm and lower portion by 1 cm
This measures very slightly smaller in the cup than my HG Ingrid, but overall the fit is very good and ...most importantly, the armholes are very comfortable! I did not know what to expect with the Mimi bras because I couldn't tell what the fabrication would be, but thankfully it turned out to be lightweight mesh, the same as Ingrid, Pearl Flower Mint, and Elena. Actually, Mimi and Elena are almost identical in styling if you request them in the same fit (although my two Elenas used shorter wires than Mimi). I prefer the styling of Mimi better, as the cups have an upper lace trim. I also requested mine with only a single bow at the gore instead of the double bow shown in the picture, so mine did not come with bows at the strap attachments either. I'll request them for next time!
Mimi Plunge is probably my favorite everyday Comexim style to date as I really prefer the lightweight solid mesh for everyday wear, compared to the heavy duty Basic fabric. I also own Mimi in 3HC which gives a more minimized shape from the side profile, but is also a good fit.
