As adorable as this bra is, I'm listing it - so pay attention all you Comexim fans in my size range. It's not quite right on me, but I'd like to emphasize that I think it would work for many. It's not the bra, it's me. The band is TTS, the quality is excellent, it's narrow, it's not shallow - I'm just pendulous. This bra also needs roots that are slightly taller than my own shorty-short roots.
So beautiful that I'm keeping it even though the fit is not quite ideal. Much wider and shallower than typical Comexim. Definitely runs small (in the band and cups).
lol @ valley girl. That's a really apt description. Ginger looks really nice on your skin, but your poor girls look trapped!
I also 100% agree with your assessment. My mom ordered this in a 70G and I tried it on just for funsies. It fit (smashingly, haha) and I'm closer to 60/65. I was so squished up I had chin cleavage.
Lol yeah trapped is an adequate description. It's funny because it's not only shallower, it's also just definitely smaller. If it wasn't so beautiful I'd list it, but I'm in love with the design (and the practicality).
I'd bet you they'd make you one using the pattern from their other plunges if you ask.
Hmmm... maybe. I'm going to try to wear it a few times and see how it feels. If it's too bad I'll have to do that.
Summary from my own blog: "Let's give a summary: things are good. Safe armpits. No chafing. Gore is nice. Pattern and colors are great (understated however). STUPID QUAD RUINS IT and I can't wear it. If I only had less upper/center fullness, this would be much better."
So, is the option for you not just going up to Comexim's next size? You might get gaping on your smaller breast but this seems like it would be a very good fit a size up.
Hey teremaailma ! I genuinely have no idea. I suspect now that Comexim had not actually altered the white basic in 60HH but that they DID alter the bras I received in my last order, which is why everything's so dang small. As of right now, I am wondering if I would do better with no cup reduction and just going with the straps moved in, but it's hard to say. Granted, if I did want cups reduced, then I would try a 60J. My unruly boobs are doing some strange things and I don't know what to make of them right now LOL.
Least quadding in this one. Very comfortable, cute bra that's low cut around the armpit (yay). Got cups/gore reduced, straps moved in, and 3 hook back. Slightly pointy shape. I have narrow/short roots with heavy center fullness.
kerniss , thanks for your detailed reviews. Comexim has great potential, and reviews like these 3 together help shed light on the sizing.
Rock on, (semi) boob twin!
I figured they might be helpful or even entertaining to some, so thank you so much acee ! : ) And don't worry, I still got three more Comexims to review, so there will be even more to look at LOL! Rock on, fellow boob-wielding warrior!
kerniss Did you ask for a specific measurement to move the straps in? If not, about how much would you say they were moved?
Cymbidium I didn't ask for anything specific! Last time I asked for them to be moved 4cm and it was a disaster, so I figured I'd let them do what they would normally do again. This was kinder to my poor armpits. Having never had one without this alteration done, I can't truly say. :( Even the second-hand ones I've bought have had this done.
kerniss Thanks! I was thinking of ordering one with the straps moved in, so this helps.
Cymbidium definitely! If you get straps rubbing all in your armpits, I would definitely get them moved in.
I'd be interested in any of the altered ones that didn't work for you, I've been wanting to try the same alterations.
Look at how far that is away from your armpits! *u* ~Magical~
First, I've had the cups reduced 4 cm and the straps brought in 4 cm. The gore is supposedly lowered but it's still 3" tall, so that might be low for a half-cup. It's basically a plunge with the alterations!
After owning it for a bit and wearing it a few times, I love my Comexim bra even more. Full review featured on my blog! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I'm considering ordering this bra, and I've read your blog review about it (which is great btw! So thorough!). Umm... I'd like your opinion on sizing. Last time I measured myself (3 weeks ago) my breast perimeter was 90.5 cm without a bra (I have very, very firm breasts, and they are shallow so it doesn't make much of a difference when I wear a non-padded bra or not). My underbust measured snugly (not too snug, comfortably snug with a small hint of cutting-in) is 71 cm, my rip-the-tape measurement (as far as I physically could do without breaking something, lol) is 69 cm and and my very loosest measurement is 74 cm (as loose as possible without making the tape measure fall down).
Could you please provide me with your own measurements? Especially the three different ribcage measurements. It could help me tremendously understanding what kinda band size I would need in the basic bra from Comexim. I wouldn't consider myself squishy, but I'm not the leanest chick on Bratabase either :P (I'm not fat nor skinny I guess, somewhere in the middle so my squishyness is neither "big" nor "small")
Also, what kinda boob shape do you have? Mine are very high on chest, full on top and shallow. I guess the full on top shape is there since my boobs are shallow. Shallow boobs usually don't have much projection and they are distributed higher on the chestwall so although one could be shallow and be the same size as someone with narrow roots (I understood from your review you have narrow roots) and deep boobs, they might not fit into the same bra. Last time I checked, my natural projection standing up straight was only 4.5 cm (measuring with a yard stick from underneath the boob crease and to where the projection stops). Shallow boobs are usually synonymous with being wide-rooted, and mine kinda are (I'm very petite so proportionally they LOOK wide-rooted), but at the same time they're not. I struggle a lot with finding underwires that are narrow enough for me and so far I haven't. I guess Comexim would be great in that aspect, narrow enough wires.
It would be my pleasure! :) And I'm so glad to hear you liked the review!
Here are my measurements: Underbust: 71.12cm loose, 68.58cm snug, 66cm break the band tight Bust: 90.17cm standing, 92.71 leaning and on back
In terms of boob shape, I have somewhat soft breasts that have even fullness on top and bottom, but I lack upper pole thickness (basically they appear to be a little shallow and they start about four fingers width below my collar bone, but I'm not more full on top than full on bottom, and standing I look more like I'm full on bottom). I also have a particularly narrow root. Literally every bra I have tried except for Comexim has wires that range from slightly to entirely too wide, though Michalaks fit pretty well too.
I hope that helps!
That helped a lot! :) I'm not done yet with my questions though haha, hope you don't mind :) Okay, so our boobs are very different but kinda similar in size. Do you think this bra would be suitable for someone with *very* full on top boobs that sit very high on the chest? My boobs start ON TOP of my collarbones, not even a finger width apart, literally on top of my collarbones! The tissue starts there. Okay, I was just lying on my back while checking that, now when I straightened up and sat down, the tissue of course still begins where it did before, but it's visible to the eye three finger widths below the collarbones. With the support of a bra, the tissue starts on top of my collarbones (not higher though, lol), and really, the only thing that matters is how my boobs will behave in a bra so... Yeah, on top of my collarbones.
Your loose measurement differs about 3 cm from mine. Your snug measurement differs about 2.5 cm from mine. Your break the band measurement differs 3 cm from mine.
What we can conclude is that we're ridiculously similar in "squishyness". My loose vs rip-the-tape measurement = Exactly 5 cm difference. Your loose vs. rip-the-tape measurement= 5,12 cm
That makes it a lot easier for you to help me decide on which band size that would be probable for me, since we don't have to take into account the squishyness factor. What kinda underbust measurement were you using when you decided on which band size to go for? What's the size Comexim suggests for you, and how did you choose the size that you did? Comexim's website suggests I should order a 70D or a 70E (70D says 88-90 cm bust, 70E says 90-92 cm bust and my bust is 90.5 cm) but I suspect it would be too big for me in the band, I'm not sure though. I'm really uncertain what measurement to go for regarding the cup size as well.
Haha, don't mind at all! :) I don't know that I can confidently say that this bra would be excellent for very full on top breasts, but I can say it would likely not work extremely well for full on bottom breasts, as I am pretty balanced and don't 100% full the very tip tops of the cups on my smaller breast. In terms of the collar bone issue, my four finger width measurement comes from when I'm standing-- if I'm laying on my back, my boobs seem to start more like right at my collar bone as well, though because they are a bit softer they do lay off to the sides a bit.
Now, I've heard you're pretty petite (;) ), and this is obviously going to impact how the bra sits on your torso...something short might look 'normal', but something tall might look huge. I'm petite myself, but I don't think quite as petite on you. I would expect the cups would 'look' a little larger on your body than mine, considering. I don't know how scientific this is, but can you give me a measurement between your collar bone and your xiphoid process? Mine is about 6"(15.24cm). I'm not sure if this bra would cut off too much for you at the tops of your boobs, but I suspect it would work reasonably well for a full-on-top shape.
In terms of determining the band, I chose my band based off of what I usually wear, so chose 60 because I virtually always wear a 28 band (the only brand I likely won't be wearing a 28 in anymore is Ewa, because the Cielus I got was RIDICULOUSLY tight). I ignored their band suggestions, chose my normal band size, and then chose cup size based off of my standing measurement, which is actually more accurately between 89-90 cm (I struggle a bit measuring in cm because I'm a silly American and am not used to it). So I chose HH because it's range is 88-90, and didn't want it to be too large. This method worked really well for me.
I didn't even know what the xiphoid process meant before I looked it up on wikipedia :P Anyway, the distance between my collarbone and the xiphoid process is actually larger on me than you. It's exactly 18 cm. I'm guessing this means that the fear you had it'll swamp me is gone? I mean, if my measurement is bigger than yours, isn't it likely I won't experience any problems due to this?
That's what I was wondering :) I'm not sure how much that measurement might actually help, because maybe your collar bone sit higher than mine and the distance is a little longer, but because the gore will typically sit right over/on your xiphoid process, that might suggest that it will fit similar to mine? Just a hypothesis :) I don't know that you would experience any issues because of it being longer, though, as you would likely just adjust the straps. Also, because your boobs sit higher on your chest, that's going to impact where the bra sits, and perhaps you have more rib below your breasts than mine (since my breasts sit slightly lower than middle on my chest).
So, all of that... of course it's totally up to you, but it might work well! :) It's hard to say without seeing someone else with firmer, high-set, full-on-top breasts wearing them, but my best guess is that this would work better for full on bottom than full on top, so long as you have a narrow root. It's a bit cheaper than Ewas as well, which I personally found attractive.
Now you're confusing me. Did you just say the opposite of what you meant? "I don't know that I can confidently say that this bra would be excellent for very full on top breasts, but I can say it would likely not work extremely well for full on bottom breasts, as I am pretty balanced and don't 100% full the very tip tops of the cups on my smaller breast." That's what you said higher up in the comment section, and now you're saying that it would likely work better for someone full on bottom rather than full on top? Did you phrase yourself wrong or did you realize something in the middle of it and changed your mind? :P
Dangit!! Sorry, that was a mistake, I meant to say "this would work better for full on top rather than full on bottom" :)
No problem! :) I'm glad we sorted it out. Phew! Lucky me! :D If it would've been the other way around I would've never had a chance with this bra. Maybe I'll try it some day :)
The hooks are lightly verging on straining on you using the loosest setting (I'm not implying it's a bad fit, it actually looks great, but any more strain would've been bad). How's the fit if you would describe it in words? Are you able to tug it away from you in the back using your hand or is it like "glued" to you? How far are you able to tug it back without using any excessive force? (Just lightly, as you would with a sweater for example, you would proabably not be aiming to pull as hard as you can to test the stretch, just lightly)
The reason I'm wondering is because I suspect I'll be needing a bigger band size than you, since my snug measurement is 2.5 cm bigger than your snug measurement. I'm not sure how many cm it needs to differ before you need to go up in band size... Gosh, this is hard haha :P But your input is definitely helping! Maybe if you can answer this question, I'll have an answer for my own question (if I need to size up); would you still be able to comfortably wear this bra if it was an inch smaller in the back? Or would you need an extender? (I'd be happy to wear an extender IF the fabric is likely to stretch out in like a months time for me to be able to use the looset hook, if NOT I'd rather size up since I think it looks prettier not to use an extender in the long run)
I hope you get to as well, it's definitely unique among bras! :)
I've noticed the pulling as well, but the strange thing is this bra does not sit too tightly on my body. I definitely have tried on bras that are way too tight, but this one barely leaves any marks on my sternum when I take it off. I've wondered about the straining too, but there is no pain or discomfort, and I think a size up would start to ride up. I can easily pull the band about 2-3 inches away from my body without using excessive force. I think it's just under an inch between the tightest and loosest setting (maybe 3/4 inch), and I can still wear it on the tightest setting, although it is snug, so I don't think I would quite need an extender if it was an inch smaller, it would just be pretty snug on the loosest column of hooks. I am expecting that the fabric is going to stretch out with time, of course :)
:) ! Sorry for asking so many questions haha, I must be a pain :P It's just that I'm so curious and I want to get it right! x) You say you would be able to wear it on the tightest hook and you suspect a bigger band size would ride up, okay, that gives me quite a good picture of what it's like. Now I'm just wondering; would the bra feel too tight for comfort if you were to use the tightest hook? Too tight for comfort if you wore it all day to work/school or something. Also, how tight do you like your bands? BIHAL and MilkAndHoney seem to favor the "as tight as needed, not as tight as possible" fit, and that's the kinda fit I favor too. Would you say that's your ideal fit as well, or do you usually seek a bra that you may have to compromise a bit in comfort for support?
Not at all a pain, I am having a lazy Sunday afternoon and love bra talk! :) I also prefer "as tight as needed, not as tight as possible", however there is a little bit of room/flexibility for me between as tight as needed and as tight as possible before it becomes physically uncomfortable, just because I think I have a high threshold for discomfort. I am sure that I wear my bands snugly, but I won't tolerate pain. I prefer a band to be snug enough that it is not going to move around at all on my torso as I move around, but if a bra at all bites into my sides or begins to cause me physical discomfort, I won't wear it.
Oh okay :) I'm not sure how high/low my discomfort treshold is because I have too little experience with bras in general (don't get me wrong, I've been stalking Bratabase and read a whooole loot so I know quite a bit but the problem is I haven't had too many bras due to financials and frustrations). I'm not too much of a tough cookie though, because if a bra is scratchy I can only wear it for an hour or two before I go totally coocoo and rip my bra off :P Hmm.... You're a little bit smaller than me in the ribcage... I'm not sure if it's enough to upsize though... If it would've been a 4 cm difference I would for sure upsize, but now I don't know :P I'll have to think about that :) Thanks a mountain-lot for the help haha :D !
this is maybe a silly question, but is that the beige? on their website it says the basic comes in white, black, beige, or champagne, and i'm not sure which of those would be darker... i'm guessing probably neither will work as a nude bra for me :[
curlewgirl ,I was wondering what color you got too.
Is your blog MIA? I tried to go to the review but I got a 404...
I think curlewgirl is inactive both here and on her blog. I tried to reach her through one of her posts, because she said in a previous one that she'd be posting new ones shortly, but she never did in the upcoming months and she seems unable to reach. I worry about her every time I see some trace of her here, but there's probably nothing to worry about. Maybe she realized she wasn't comfortable being active in boob-communities and blogs alike.
Yes, unfortunately it is. I was getting very creepy, unwanted attention and decided it felt best not to have pervs looking at my bare chest. Maybe I'll feel differently in the future... I'm reconsidering opening up a new blog because I was good at it and people similar to me appreciated it...
Please do. You could even disable comments. A lot of the best blogs (Daring Fireball, for example, do without comments). We miss you! :-)
Confession time. I didn't realize this was a swimsuit when I ordered it during Comexim’s recent sale. How embarrassing! I thought I was ordering a brightly colored bra 😂. Although it is SO comfortable and supportive, I *could* wear it as a bra.
We have a pool so I will wear and swim in it privately I’ve already ordered a few black swim bottoms to try with it. I also have a Freya bright pink bikini bottom (from my tankini set) that works too.
As is the case with my other Comexim bras, this bikini fits amazingly. The wires are perfect, the gore tacks, and if there is ...a quad-boob effect on my larger side - or space on my smaller side it is minuscule.
I also ordered a 60J Unicorn 3hc bra with this order. I asked for the straps to be moved in on that bra too. I knew these alterations would make them both not eligible for exchange or return. I received an email indicating a band size of *60* or below is also NOT returnable. That was news to me. Just a heads-up in case anyone is considering ordering directly from Comexim & is unsure of band size. Read more 94 more words
I probably need one or half a size up but it’s still one of my favourite bras. The only problem is that it gets itchy where the cup parts are sewn together since there is no inner lining and the seams are rough.
This bra's measurements have been altered
Shortened side wings (bacons?) to 9 cm instead of 11,5
What is your UK bra size? I am a 28F/28FF depending on the cup style - and I tried a Comexim 60H but it was far too small in the cup. When I looked at their website for sizing it suggested I was a 65HH but I'm just not confident in that?
AlexM I’m a 28F in Freya and Panache UK size. So it sounds like maybe you want to go for a J if you are F/FF.
This is the first new shape I've tried in a while but I love my other Comexim's so I was hoping that this bra would be a hit! I got it from another user who had some adjustments made to it making it too small for her. I usually wear a 60H in Comexim. The basic has always run a half cup small but I usually still go for the 60H. This 60HH is very small for the tag sizing. I feel like it's on the small side of a 60H or even a 60G. The shape of this bra gives you some nice 'cakes on a plate' ...appearance. Because of that the fact that the cups are too small for me I get more... bang for my breast tissue buck in how it looks. I am glad I took the chance on this bra and even though it is technically too small in the cups, I will probably still keep it because it is beautiful, comfortable, and (I think) looks sexy in a subdued kind of way. Be warned though, you will want to size up if you are unsure of the sizing because even without adjustments this bra would be small for a 60HH. Read more 98 more words
I wish I had seen this review sooner. Recently purchased a 60J Basic HC from the BF sale and it's too small in the cups. :( Had no idea Basic runs half a cup small.
@katie166 I'm sorry that happened! Buying a specific bra and then having not fit is such a let down! I talked myself out of that sale. I convinced myself that I would hate the look of the bras in person or they would be all wrong because my last set of Comexims that I purchased are like 3 years old and they could have changed things. Did you get any good bras out of your purchase?
The Basic was the only one I got unfortunately. I'm a 28 band and located in Asia where no brand makes this size. So I'm used to not seeing a bra before I buy it and having to return often.
I have always thought that Florence was one of Comexim's prettiest bras. I feel like it never got that much attention. I know this is going back a while now and you probably can't get her anymore, but I thought I'd share this review, anyway. My favorite things about Florence are the floral print, green ribbon detail, and textures of the materials. The outer fabric has a satin finish and is so smooth and silky. Unfortunately it ran about a cup smaller than all the other plunges I ordered. Sad face. Full review on my blog!
The inside cup seams are lined with a scratchy rough fabric that crosses right over my nipples. It is so irritating that I have to wear something inside to protect them https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Usually Comexims are supremely soft and comfortable, so this is really not what I expected from them!
The cups are tall. The cup shape is very rounded as you can see in my clothes pic and I find not all comexims acheive this for whatever reason. Band is firm and made of two layers of fabric. The cups are a little too big for me if I don’t wear this on the tightest hook with the straps fairly tight and with a fitted shirt on. I requested the gore to overlap.
This is the first 60HH from Comexim that I've tried without any alterations and unfortunately, I really need the cup reduction and straps moved in. The materials on Ingrid are lovely, and the fit is very similar to Vivien (not surprising since they're the same cut). The cups are filled until the very top where the extra height on the cups just gapes on me. The higher gore on this is actually quite comfortable, maybe even more comfy than a lowered gore. So that's definitely a modification that I don't need. I really wish this bra fit me better! It's so close and I would love the flowers to join my lingerie drawer. So anyone who wants to try 60HH (approximately 28FF/G) I'm going to be listing this bra!
After doing a few measurements, this bra actually has a 6 inch wide cup. GULP! It's also quite shallow, which explains the enormous quad. Like this is a very very bad quad. The bra itself is very pretty too, which makes me all the more sad. The wires are not "U" shaped but are..well, almost like a very very flat curve, if that makes sense. This bra is not uncomfortable in the wire arena, either (probably due to soft wires). Lowest gore of all Comexims yet. I suppose it basically runs a cup size small?
The wires are very good and my armpits are actually safe. However... I am quadding about. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I had this problem with my entire order (all 60HHs in bras and a swim top in 65H). It may be period related. Oh well. Anyway, good for close set, projected boobs. This has been altered and has reduced cups/gore, straps moved in, and 3 hook back instead of 2 hook back.
The bra that broke my heart... sort of. Despite receiving it in the mail close to a month ago, I have yet to wear this bra until today. The strange thing about my Geisha that I haven't seen in any other Geishas or similarly sized Comexims is that the centre gore wires overlap, with the right one on top. Unfortunately, this gives the right cup a little more projection and more overall volume, and my right breast is the slightly smaller one https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> As you can (hopefully) see in the pictures, there is a weird 'pinch' of ...fabric on the cups near the gore. I reallyyyyy want this bra to work though, so I tried it on today under one or my tighter, ribbed cotton tops. The material is a thick, horizontally ribbed navy blue, and has that somewhat constricted feeling of slightly shrunken-in-the-dryer cotton. And voilà! You can't see or tell the excess fabric is there, because the top compresses the cups to my chest and the fabric is forced toward the centre where it disappears under the top. So, I will be keeping this bra and likely wearing it under similar tops and closer to the time of month when my boobs are a little bigger and can fill it out better. Other than that, the band is SO firm, and yet, comfortable! I'm wearing it on the first hook and it just feels so sturdy and supportive. The wires are gloriously narrow, and the straps lay in the perfect places. Nothing pokes, itches, or prods. Heaven. Read more 174 more words
Gah! I had pictures... I just added a new one of the top over the bra, so hopefully it will be approved soon and all my pictures will come back!
Now, what I really want to know is howwwww did you get a bra a whole entire month ago and not put it on until now?? Oh my goodness, when mine arrive I have the package ripped open, the bra on, pictures taken, and all measurements entered within 10 minutes lol. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning.
I'm actually the same way! Haha. I did rip it out of the package after waiting so long for it, but after I put it on and saw it didn't fit properly I was so sad about it that I didn't have the heart to try it again until now. Today's my first full day wear.
lcl0706, you are funny!
lol thanks. and immodestmouse If there's a bra I love and really want to work, I'll try it with every single shirt I own too. It's funny how attached to some of our bras we get.
It's pretty unreasonable, yet unable to be helped!
After waiting over two months for my Comexims, they finally arrived! (To my parents address, but that's another story). The band length is perfect! I'm using the first hook with no problems. It's not very stretchy at all; what you see is essentially what you get, which is a good thing in my book. I based my size off of multiple charts and bra bloggers that have similar measurements to me, and it was pretty spot on for just an educated guess. I probably could've done with a cup size up in the Ginger because while the cups don't *really* cut in at ...the top, if I take a deep breath or pull my shoulders way back, they do. I would say if you're in doubt, go a cup size up in this style. It doesn't really pose a problem though as I wore it all day at work the other day under a t-shirt and didn't notice any unsightly quadboob https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I do get a fair amount of orange in a glass, somewhat reminiscent of my Marks & Spencer bra that I no longer wear. I wore the Ginger for about 8 or 9 hours the first time I wore it, and did have red itchy marks under my boobs where the bottom of the wires sat. :'( I think I'll just have to be aware of that in the future and not wear it for so long. I also think that it has to be in part due to the plunge style, as the M&S bra that I referenced earlier gave me the same issue and was a plunge. The cup material also scratched where my arm joins my shoulder near my armpit a little bit when I was moving around; I'm hoping this will soften up with a few wears and maybe a wash or two. The fabric and foam is very very lightweight. I can't tell if it is intentional, or if it just cheap. There is a quiet sort of paper rustling sound sometimes which I find odd (when moving around, putting it on, etc.). Despite that, the colour is a perfect and oh-so-pretty nude for me! I'm basically as white as a sheet of paper and the colour is a great nude for me-- just something to keep in mind if you have any sort of colour to your skin, this probably won't work as a nude for you. (Not that that's what it's exclusively for; it's still super gorgeous). The wires aren't as narrow as I thought they might be, since I'd heard a lot of people saying Comexim's wires were about as narrow as you could get. They are still narrow and don't cover as much no-tissue area as other bras I have, but then again I have super narrow roots (0 tissue under my arms). It's not a problem, just an observation https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
PS I ordered this bra with 3 hooks & eyes and reduced cups. Read more 419 more words
This bra was part of my first direct order from Comexim.pl. I’ll begin by praising Joanna from Comexim. Not only did she assist with my sizing choice after reviewing fit photos I sent of myself in 3hc bras from BOB, but she also responded to emails swiftly.
The bra is beautiful, and the matching panties are gorgeous. I knew from experience to size up in panties. Size M is perfect for me.
I don't fill the cup on my smaller side, which isn't surprising to me. I have soft, FoT, asymmetric breasts. I have several cookie inserts that I can use, but I'm wearing the bra now without ...one. The gapping is only notable (to me) when slouching or bending forward. It's not apparent when clothed.
The wires are perfect and the gore sits flat. Super comfortable!
Overall I like this Comexim Gloria Plunge (Tagged Size 28G) but unfortunately it is too small and does not fit. I purchased this bra from a user on another app, and was excited when it came in quickly and in very good condition. Once I opened my package and saw it in person , I instantly knew that it would be too small, despite it looking larger in pictures. (The seller didn’t misrepresent it, I didn’t check the size details of this model) I’ve been trying to narrow down my size in the various styles of this brand, and got this thinking it would fit one cup size ...smaller than my 28H plunge. After I realized I was mistaken and there is also a 28GG size between the two. I like the look of black/dark colored fine mesh and lace overlays, and find this to be a charming twist on a basic black bra. I could see myself wearing this bra in my normal daily life, or during a spicy date night. I’m not particularly keen on the bow, I find it a silly way to try to add details to larger bras, but it’s fine. I don’t mind the cut out straps in back, not sure if it’s there more for function or aesthetic. I usually prefer 3 or more hooks, where this one has 4 rows of 2, but the band still feels secure, not too tight or too loose, and comfortable on the outermost row of clasps. I’ve certainly had firmer Comexim bands. The straps do adjust enough and the placement is fine and not spaced too far apart, but I’m not entirely sure how they would sit on a larger size. I get a decently large amount of quadding in this bra, even more when I scoop and swoop, a clear indicator that the cups are too small. when I scoop and swoop the gore raises up a little from my sternum. The small size might make it harder to distinguish this but the Gloria seems more shallow than some of my other plunges, so I’m not sure how a larger size would fit.
I adore my Comexim and other Polish bras but I’ve been largely struggling with finding the right fit in the plunges, or if they even work for me. I am very short statured and petite; so I think tall plunge bras have a fit issue that I share with V necks and other deep plunging necklines, where they wrinkle/flop, possibly due to limited vertical space not allowing it to sit taut or possibly where the straps/top hits at my narrow shoulders, or a combination of the two. The cups seem to end up too tall in the size I need. While I appreciate the narrow wires, I need a little more cup width and a lot more volume and depth. while I’ve worn worse fitting bras and can put this on my body without pain and feel supported by the band, I intend to trade this bra for a better fitting one.

This one is gorgeous. Underwire and center gore are not quite tact but mysteriously it looks it fits. When I move too much, it always rolls up. Well, that's longline bra I guess
lol @ valley girl. That's a really apt description.
Ginger looks really nice on your skin, but your poor girls look trapped!
I also 100% agree with your assessment. My mom ordered this in a 70G and I tried it on just for funsies. It fit (smashingly, haha) and I'm closer to 60/65. I was so squished up I had chin cleavage.
