This order from Breakout Bras (during their clearance sale) was my third shot at Comexim.

I had previously bought a Sonia plunge in 65J from another user and while it "fit" (or seemed like it did) I found it too wide and high and it didn't give any lift or cleavage that I would like to get from a plunge. I decided to sell it.

I then tried a 65J plunge in Belen and Pearl Flower Mint that I ordered direct from Comexim. These were less wide but I got a weird twisting and gaping at the gore that I thought was simply a projection issue that I would ... have to live with. I sold the Belen but kept the Pearl Flower Mint and wear it under looser tops.

In this order, I got 2 more plunges, again in 65J. I also ordered Rose - a 3HC in 65HH.

When Rose arrived, it was a plunge. It is a plunge and in the smaller size, it fits perfectly. Hence, it is either a rogue bra OR I have solved my riddle and now know that I need a 65HH in Comexim plunges.

OK. This bra. Queen of Hearts. It doesn't fit. I get the same twisting and gaping at the gore as I get in all the other plunges that I tried in this size, so I have already sold it to another user who is just a little bigger in the cup than me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

It's a beautiful, high quality bra though. The band is very comfortable and has 4 rows of 3 hooks. NICE.

Straps are wide and comfortably set and are fully adjustable with colour-matched sliding adjusters.

Flat 2-tone bow in the center.

This bra reminds me of a burgundy and black tuxedo. It's a classic.

My shape is low set, soft, slightly pendulous, narrow and short rooted.

This bra is a very pretty mauve colour with lace detailing in the cups and along the band (all the way around to the back of the bra). The straps measure wide (width wise) for this bra, which I didn't realize before I saw it in person. The straps and little classy bow on the gore are both black. I think darker mauve straps may have worked better with the aesthetics of the bra, but it's still pretty with the black straps. They're just not as delicate looking as the rest of the bra, that's all. (Edited ... to add: I see a picture of a 70F with mauve straps and it looks very pretty...not sure if that was a special request, but I wish this one had those straps instead of the black ones it came with).

This is a three-part half cup with fairly tall cups... in this size anyways. I measured them at about 6.3" tall. That is slightly taller than what my short roots prefer, but it still fits me nicely. I did request a reduced gore, overlapping gore, straps moved in, and for this to be made as a 3HC wth no longline material. I have no way of verifying that any of those alterations were done, but I believe they were. For example, the other Bridget in 65HH says that the gore height is 3.5", mine is 2.6".

The band fits what I consider to be fairly true to size. It stretched to about 29" before the wires just started to distort, but it could have stretched further. It has 3 clasps with 4 sets of hooks, which is awesome. I think because it was a longline, it has taller wings and better band support than it would have otherwise. I love the tall wings and 3 sets of hooks.

The shape it gives is rounded but slightly minimized (I think) due to wider cups. I feel like the wires still follow my IMF pretty well, but I could go with narrower wires, and then I'd probably get a more projected, rounded and up-front shape. That could also be because the cups are slightly too large for me at this time of the month. I feel enclosed but not as supported as I could feel. A 65HH would probably have worked out for me, but I chose the 65J because my 65HH Comexim Coco (381) feels like it's squishing me a little.

Comfort is amazing in this bra, as with all my Comexims that I've tried. Right from the moment I put it on, there is no chaffing, rubbing, poking, or stabbing. I wore it yesterday and I didn't even know it was there.

All in all this is a beautiful delicate looking bra with great comfort and quality.

Rita is remarkably beautiful; skillfully balancing femininity and intrigue. Red floral eyelash lace covers the cups, black satin peaks from beneath the eyelash lace along the edges, and black velvet bows accent the gore and straps. Finally, a silver, rhinestoned Comexim "C" dangles delicately beneath the velvet gore bow. Comexim should be proud: aesthetically, this is gorgeous and far more alluring than their website photos. The band is supportive, comfortable, and has 3x4 hook/eye fasteners. The materials do not irritate my sensitive skin. Sincerely, I prefer Comexim bras for a myriad of reasons.

However, I'm collapsing the cup near the wire. I need a slightly wider wire or more immediate projection. Moving on to a 65K....

I'm pleasantly surprised by this bra. Everyone talks about the Comexim Basic (170), so I assumed there was some reason the Elena wasn't as good a choice for a basic nude bra. I decided to get it because I wanted to try a strap modification I have in mind, and thought I might as well have something slightly different than what I already have. I also asked for the straps to be moved in 3 cm, which I think they were? It's a little hard to tell.

When it first arrived, I was a little worried because I seemed to want to quad out of it a ... bit. It really seems to walk the line there, depending on the day. Sometimes it does a little, sometimes it doesn't. But it's still very comfortable, so I've decided not to worry about it.
The band is nice and snug and fits great on me.

I think these seams are the least show-through of all my bras, which is awesome.
The details (little bows and such) are the same colour as the bra, and not that weird brown plaid that seems to be the case with older makes of the Elena. I definitely prefer this, and had planned on removing them if that were not the case.

I'm glad I have another go-to nude bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I haven't yet tried my strap modification idea, partly because it'll really be a shame if I mess it up so this bra is unusable. But I will update here if I do attempt it, and meanwhile I will continue enjoying this as a regular bra.

"Basic" couldn't be a better name for this Comexim bra. I've been looking for a light or nude colored seamed plunge type bra to wear until light clothing, on days that I don't feel like wearing a molded plunge like my nude Freya Deco (4234), and I'm happy to say I've found it in the Basic.

When I first put on the Basic, which I did almost immediately after I got it in the mail from farflung, I don't know any other way to word this other than my boobs felt relieved. This bra is like a comfortable breath of fresh air. ... I mean, for once the wires are not all up in my armpits. And the straps are set a bit closer together than most bras I'm used to. This means that the straps don't end up rubbing into my armpits. How great is that? The gores don't come up too high, but they are higher than your typical plunge model. I don't mind, because it seems like when gores are too low, they start stabbing me in the chest. The fabric is comfortable, including the fabric that lines the cups.

Let's talk projection: the Basic will give you that uplifted, up front shape that Polish bras seem to be known for. Actually, the cup shape and lift reminds me of the way my Ewa Michalak S Wisniowka fits. The wires seem to go back far enough but then the cups bring my boobs forward and upwards. At the time of this review, I am sporting my full-on PMS boobs, so I'm able to fill the cups. I expect there will be some gapping when I lean over and stuff once my boobs retain their "regular" shape. Because of that, I'd like to see how my boobs fill a 65HH.

The band feels like a true 30" band, maybe a little on the stretchy side. I've read many warnings on how Comexim's bands are ultra firm. I'm somewhere in between a 28 band or a 30 band, which means deciding between wearing an extender (if a 28 is too firm) or wearing out the tightest hooks on most 30s. So since I'm using the tightest hooks here, it may mean trying out a 60HH or 60J instead.

As far as how the Basic looks under clothing, the seams don't really show up, especially under loose fabric. It's a great everyday bra. I'm looking forwarding to ordering my next Comexim bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Holy boobies out on display! What’s up you say? Oh nothing, just my boobs lol. After buying a lot of three piece soft cup bras, I figured it was time to add a half cup bra to my collection. I do love the look at times but hadn’t owned one in a long while. I went with my somewhat usual Comexim size of 65J/30GG....and it’s a wee too small. If I have my arms down the cup just fits. But if I bring my arms back I get quad-boob. Plus if this bra decided to slide down just a bit I’d have a nip-slip. I’ve reordered in a ... 30K to see if I can get a better fit. I just pray the wires aren’t wider. I’ve had a little weight gain, but not much. But I guess enough to affect how my moulded cup bras are fitting.
Purchased in the color black.
The straps are a wonderful smooth elastic. The cups are a three piece construction with two vertical seems up the cup. The top of the cup has a thin lace like edging detail and two small black bows where the straps meet the cup. There is a black bow on the center gore. The backband is one layer of power mesh. There elastic is pretty evenly distributed on top and bottom of the band. The back closure is a 3x3 with all hardware being black. It’s very comfortable and the straps spaced really well. I just hope I can get a more contained fit with the next cup up.

This is a lovely shimmery silver bra with a purple undertone and darker silver accents. Cups are narrow and projected and the fit is TTS.

Updated on Jul 08, 2020 Flag this

*Update: Since the wires were too narrow, I went ahead and bent them out to be the exact width I wanted, 5.5 inches. Now the cup fits much better. Center gore doesn’t tac, but since this is a bathing suit I’m not too worried about it. I can say that even tho the band “fits” and us comfortable, I really could have sizes down to a 28/60 band in this one.

This is a fabulous bikini top that I can pretty much wear with any color or patterned bottoms. I do have to say, the wires in this bikini top are very narrow, at 5” wide. This definitely ... makes the cup very projected. It also runs a little narrow and short on the sides. I could size up in the cup on this one. But since the cups come up high enough in the front I don’t feel the need to go through the hassle to exchange. I can easily bend over to handle my toddler without any fear of flashing anyone. Technically it’s narrow, but doesn’t bother me. It’s still very comfy and will serve its purpose as a bikini top. I love the stiffer construction of the cups, so I can easily slide the straps down to get some sun on my shoulders. The fabric overlay on the outer side of the cup has a gathered look on the center of the cuo and looks cute but basic. Band is a little stretchy for a 30 band, but not an issue for me. Straps are nice, thick and comfy. Straps are fully adjustable. I definitely appreciate having a bikini that doesn’t tie around the neck!

This is my second time purchasing a Comexim Basic bra in size 65J/30GG. The first time I purchased, I believe it came from Wellfitting, and ran extremely small. I believe now that one was mistagged and was probably a 28J. This bra came from Breakout Bras and fits perfectly with a similar fit to my Comexim Queen of Hearts and Belle de Nuit. It fits comfortably and the band is TTS for a 30. The wires overlap at the center gore. There is some minor wrinkling in the fabric that overlays the cup, but is not noticeable under any tight fitting tops. I feel as the inner cup relaxes it will even out.

My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

I wanted to add a review for this bra since I’ve had it for the past few weeks. I really love that it’s unlined and I love the color of the lace cups. I do wish the lace was softer, I think if you have sensory issues, you might not like the way it feels. I also wish the strap were more delicate to go with the cups since I feel it takes away from the romantic look of the bra, but oh well.

This bra gives me a round shape that ... is slightly minimized, but still lovely in my opinion. Good for those shirts you have with buttons so the buttons don’t gape or open! 😄 The band is comfortable in the second set of hooks, it feels pretty stretchy, so I guess I’ll see go it fares with wear. Now that I have a few bras in my rotation that fit I’m not too worried.

The gore is nice and slim and there’s just enough space for me at the center. The wires stay pretty close to my IMF throughout the day, so I’m pretty pleased. Overall, I really love this bra and I would probably purchase this style over again.

This bra is perfection. If you're after a padded, seamless, pale "nude" t-shirt bra option, but don't get along well with a majority of traditional moulded bras, Elena is a great alternative. It's soft, comfortable, totally smooth and invisible under sheer and light-colored tops. Best of all, it gives a gorgeous rounded, subtly minimized profile and tasteful cakes on a plate cleavage. The band fits just a bit firmer than my other 65J 3HCs. It's not enough to size up in my case, but something to consider if you're between band sizes.

I loved this bra from afar for a really long time and was super happy to get my hands on one. It's so pretty! Sadly, I got the size totally wrong as it was the first plunge that I ordered directly from Comexim. It's just as stunning in person, but the cup is way too tall/big for me. There's a full review on my blog https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

For this review, I will take a brief interlude from my ongoing Comexim Victoria 3HC fit saga...

What a beautiful bra! Fits like a dream.

The band is tight, but fits somewhere between a British (like Cleo) band 28 and 30. This band seems closer to TTS than my Comexim Beauty Plunge in 65J---I have to wear an extender because that band is too tight. So, I'm not sure where to go on my next Comexim order as far as band size.

The cups are wonderfully narrow and allows for inner fullness. Somehow, this bra works great under tees and light-colored tops, almost like a neutral. Much prettier than any beige bra though. Fits me much better than a similar-sized Anna Pardal. ... I don't fall into the middle like I do with her plunges.

I ordered this from Zathiya and it only has 2 hooks. I also have a Comexim Beauty Plunge in 65J that I ordered from Braobsessed. The Beauty has 3 hooks. I prefer the 3 hooks. Not sure why this one only has 2 and I don't have enough Comexims to know which version is standard.

For reference, these days I'm also fitting into: EM 65GG S-styles, 28GG Freya Decos, 28GG Cleo Marcie and 30GG Panache Jasmine. I'm narrow, projected with even fullness and short roots.

I saw this for sale on braswap and first I disregarded it because I thought it would be too big but then I looked again figured why not, I can just resell and it will help me figure out my size better. It is slightly too big but only in the tops of the cups, I fill out the bottom of the cups nicely. The top also cuts into breast tissue because its closed off. It is too deep/project near the straps for me. It could work for someone with more even fullness and medium root height. I think this style in 65J could work for me if I reduced the cups and moved the straps in.

This bra has a lowered gore, reduced cups and straps moved it, which I requested before realizing that this bra is already made in the deep plunge pattern. Unfortunately, it did not fit at all... it cut in too quickly near the center gore, causing minor quadding, while the entire upper/outer quadrant of the cups near the straps was empty, as if they were still too tall in that area. The bra also seemed much shallower both at the wire and overall than my other Comexim plunges, despite being a cup size larger. I believe that this bra is based off Ginger, so if you anticipate that ... cut will be too shallow for you, I'd recommend ordering this one in the classic plunge style instead.

This bra looked so very gorgeous, scarlet and vixen-ish in the promotional pictures, and I thought it would be a fun and lovely piece for Valentine's Day https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> However, on my body it was very underwhelming and disappointing, perhaps because the fit was quite off. The eyelash lace is pretty but makes the cups appear more full-coverage than they actually are; I prefer the eyelash lace used only on the cups, as in the EM Syrena. The velvet bows and rhinestoned "C" charm are however really elegant details which make the bra look a bit more expensive and special. The band was true to size, if a little on the firm side due to the dark fabric. Matching size medium bottoms and garter belt were a perfect fit on my 36" hips and 27" waist... I'd imagine it would be a pretty show-stopping set if only the bra fit correctly!

This bra was a surprise win.

Mainly, I wanted to buy a couple of 65Js to test the fit. I knew that one of them had to be the Ingrid, because I adore that pattern, but I'd already ordered the other Comexims I most liked. I ended up picking this one on a whim because it was different from any other bra I own.

I have to tell you, I am over the moon that I picked this bra. I can't describe how much I enjoy having it. Navy blue and bright pink have always been good colors together, but adding the light blue polka dots was a stroke of ... genius. This bra's color scheme is just so well-matched and exciting--it really pops out in person, much more so than it did in pictures on the website. But it's not a loud bra at all! It's just fun and it makes me happy to wear it. It feels excitingly normal, if that makes sense--it feels like the type of bra I always envied matrix-sized girls for having. Only it comes in my size! And it makes my boobs look GREAT. Seriously, it gives lovely support and lift and I feel wonderful wearing this bra both with and without clothes.

The usual bit here about how the fit is perfect--good gore, great narrow wires, great comfortable but snug band. Like I said about the Ingrid, going up to a 65J was a good decision size-wise but it does mean that the cups gape where they meet the straps if I slouch hard, but they don't gape when I'm sitting normally. The straps are a tiny bit wider than my 65HH Comexims but still totally comfortable.

Basically, I love this bra, a lot more than I thought I would, and I'm probably going to over-wear it.

Obviously, I love this bra. This is the third time I've bought it. First I bought it in a 65H, then a 65HH, and now in a 65J. Basically, whenever I've tried another size in Comexim, I've bought this bra because I always want this bra to work for me.

I feel so beautiful in this bra. I really like the colors against my skin tone and honestly I just feel mature and lovely and happy to the point where I have a lot of trouble writing objectively about the bra.

The wires are perfect for me. The band is comfortably snug. The gore does curve a little away from ... me but it does tack, and it's comfortable. The top edge of the cup does curve in more abruptly than some other bras thanks to the tight ribbon edge, but in this size it doesn't make me quad-boob and it's lovely.

Going up to a 65J was a good decision, and I think this is my best Comexim size. However, going up in the size does leave the cups a little tall, and the part where the cup meets the strap does gape (due to the tallness) when I slouch hard. But the way I sit normally, there isn't any gaping, and I'm really, really happy with the way this bra fits. Going up to a 65J also widened the straps a tad, but it's still completely comfortable.

I love this bra and I'm so happy it works for me.

So I bought this bra in a batch with three 65HHs from Comexim, because I had heard that you should order one size up in Comexim half-cups. I will say, it measures more like a 65HH than a 65J, so I guess that makes sense--fortunately for me, I do fit the more open 65HHs!

So the color is this rich and lovely red, but I really appreciate that the straps are black. I like having dark straps because they draw less attention than colored straps, and my bra straps show a lot.

I really like the design of the half-cup. The seams don't scream out at you through clothing and ... the top edge of the cup isn't as abrupt as some other half-cups I've tried, meaning it doesn't really show through clothing either. I like that the design isn't crazy over the top, like my Debenhams red half-cup.

This doesn't put my breasts as up and out as other bras, but I like the gentle swell of boob that it produces. It would work well with a low-cut scoop neck or under higher necklines when I don't want my boobs to be the center of attention.

I like that it's a red and black bra but it's more sophisticated than sexy. The Queen of Hearts bra made me feel dangerous, but this feels like a good working bra.

The cups are definitely wider than Comexim plunges, which was disconcerting at first, but they're still narrower than most bras in this size range and still totally wearable. This does mean that the straps are set a little wider than normal, but they're not terribly irritating and I can totally wear the bra all day, which is all that matters.

Really comfortable and flattering bra. I'm glad I got it.

I bought this hoping for a nude t-shirt bra and it’s not going to work for that, so when I order again I will probably go with a different style. The seams are too prominent and it gives the green shape almost to an extreme, which looks sort of odd with my already high-set breasts. If my kiddo hasn’t eaten for a while, I can fill out the left cup but the right one is just way too big no matter what.
This is a really lovely bra, for being “basic”. It has bow details on the straps and the gore, with tiny faux pearls sewn to the middle ... of each bow. The lace detail is nice, and it you’re wearing a shirt that can hide the seams the lace and bows shouldn’t show, either.
How it works with my shape: As I mentioned, the shape it gives is not necessarily desirable when breasts already start right underneath my collarbones. If you want a lot of lift, this would be a great choice. My breasts appeared more like FOT when scooped and swooped into this bra.
