I purchased this from someone from reddit, and the post has since been deleted, so I can't remember what type of Comexim this bra is called! The lace and color look exactly like the Coco, but instead of pink bows, the bra I have has one bigger black bow in the middle, and no bows at the ends of the straps. Anyways, on to the review. I've been buying size 75 bands, and they have worked up until the most recent order I received earlier this summer. It might be because I'm ordering the unlined, and they have stretchier bands, but I feel like the 75's aren't tight ...enough anymore. So I got this bra, figuring it was a cheap way to find out if the 70 band fits, and it does! It feels a lot more secure. The underwire fits great, the gore tacks, but there's not enough projection for me. Does it have something to do with the vertical seams? I think this is the first bra I've gotten with cups like that. If the cups were deeper, this would be perfect. I'm a little nervous about going up a cup size, but if I find someone selling a 70J, I might snag it up, if the price is right. I'd be interested in trying a different kind of unlined Comexim in size 70HH to see if it has deeper cups. Any ideas, anyone? (Also, is has those hated scratchy straps, but for some reason on this bra, it doesn't bug me. Weird.) Read more 146 more words
I think it is a 2HC? How many vertical seams does the cup have? 2HC's have one seam up the middle and are generally shallower, 3HC's have two seams and have better projection. (Although it varies by model like everything else)
It has two vertical seams. It might just be a shallow cup, or I might really need to size up in the cup since it's a size down in the band.
I think this is the Bellissima made as a regular 2HC. I think on the website it was originally a longline 3HC.
Oh dang! Thanks for the help! I'll get this fixed up. :)
I guessed too large on my size, so I need to size down next time. Seems like a great bra!! Bought new off Reddit, tried to wear two times but with two pillows in each still not filling it out I felt silly trying to keep it for the pink straps https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />. Bra is sized as 32G, same as Comexim website 70HH. (The lady I bought it from did not purchase direct thru Comexim)
I was fairly certain this bra would be too small in the cups, but I couldn't resist trying it anyway; it's so pretty! Sadly this bra fits closer to a 32F/34E, and is indeed too small in the cups for me.
I also have an issue with the band. I'm not sure if it's caused by the mesh being too stretchy compared to the elastic, but the elastic digs in very painfully. I seem to have this issue to a certain degree with most of the Comexim's I've tried. Pity.

I love it, but it is too small- probably by two cup sizes. I have a 70HH half cup Donna that still fits. My Ginger and Beauty padded half cups in 70HH are a cup size too small now. I think the Angel, like some people have said does fit small.
It is beautiful! Stretch mesh on the wing and back of the band. Same colour mesh no stretch in cups with lace edged cups.
Overlapping gore seems standard.
gore doen't tack and I stillspill over the top of the cup. However, the raised centre gore does seem to balance out the strap movement. I will reorder in a bigger size!

Again, 3hc padded slightly smaller than soft cup so tiny bubbling, but, probably fine. Just want a higher gore again. Shape change from moving straps inward not present in padded as in unpadded. This one has wings a little higher.

comexim padded half cups fit a tiny bit smaller than the unpadded and I probably could go up a cup size on my larger side, but, it is debatable. I wish they had higher wings! The shape change from moving the straps inward in the soft cup is not present in the padded as I'd hoped, but I am still gonna go for the raised gore in future orders.

Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
This is my first attempt at Comexim custom fits. It is almost perfect, but not quite. I had the ordinary cup construction replaced with their three part half cup pattern with two vertical seams. This gives enough immediate projection and a fairly round shape. I also had the straps moved inwards by two centimetres. This was not quite so successful ...when it comes to both straps that fall off my shoulders and straps that dig into the front of my armpit! Why cant all my bras be like this?
However, by altering the attachment point, I seem to have changed the horizontal tension and thus the shape of the soft cup. Insead of being normally shaped according to the half cup design, it seems loose by the centre gore and tight by the strap attachment. This gives a shape that has a flat plane angling inwards and down in the top of the cup at the strap attachment. I will exaggerate it in a picture to show you what I mean. I decided to order a new bra like this with a raised gore, thinking that by increasing the attachment point at the centre will add the necessary horizontal tension to support the shape. As I have a slight centre fullness, there is no gaping. It is a bit odd, but once I got used to it, I thought it fairly wearable.
As to the Donna, the embroidery is a bit itchy. Maybe a wash will help? The centre gore is tiny, the straps are ribbed and thus no-slip, and the mesh is not elastic, but has a little give in the bias. I was very surprised by the cup width measurement as it seems so much narrower. I guess the narrow centre gore and the half cup design account for it.
I will post my review on the new design when I get it. Read more 269 more words
I would need an extender on the band to wear comfortably, although I can hook it on the loosest. I am typically a 70H in Comexim plunge and this half cup is still quite small after going up one cup size. I think if I went up a size in the band and another size in the cup, this bra would fit me.

I feel like even after sizing up from my normal 70H in Comexim plunge, this half cup is still slightly small in the cup. I would order 2 cup sizes up in this specific bra to prevent spilling out of the top of the cup.

It looks like I have finally found a Comexim in which I need a 65! Huh. (I've so far only tried on black Comexims, which, like apparently most black bras, run small.)
The Emily is lovely, more so in person than I would've expected. It feels soft all over, even the lace / embroidery for the most part. The back is a (very stretchy) mesh. The three hooks are great, and I would really like to see more bras with three hooks just in general.
Now for the bad news, at least for me. I tried this bra on and immediately noticed that I wasn't getting enough support. I went ...to the tightest hooks, and then resorted to also tightening the straps (I almost never need to tighten straps, like, at all), but I think this unlined bra might not be structured enough to really give my breasts the uplift I'd like. (A third vertical seam on the cup would probably help; I've also found that fully-lace cups are excellent for this.)
The elastic cuts veeery slightly into my tissue, creating a little bit of quadding, but due to the lack of support I'm almost more tempted to try a cup size smaller -- say, a 65HH?
But only almost. I suspect this bra and I are simply not meant to be. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 117 more words
I purchased this bra from another user of ABTF on Reddit as a way to determine my correct size in Comexim unpadded bras. My usual UK size is a 32FF.
Band wise, the fit is perfect - very snug but not uncomfortable. The cups are a size too large - I fill out the bottom very well but there is gaping along the floral lace trim. I can easily fix this myself with some thread and I plan to do so because I plan to keep and enjoy this bra. As with my padded plunge Comexim bras, the projection I get with this unpadded version is outstanding. LOVE!
The fabric feels silky and smooth to the touch; overall, this bra just feels so well made! I look forward to getting a few more unpadded bras from Comexim - in my correct size, of course.
This bra is the 4th Comexim I'm trying. The 3 other ones are in 65k. So I though that I would get a cup smaller with a 70HH, but to my surprise, the cup of the Pantera in 70HH is bigger than my 3 65k, for at least one cup, maybe 2. Looks to me like a 70L I would say.
Beautiful!!! This is a delightfully firm band. And, it wears 4 sets of fasteners which further extends its wearability. Unless you have an extender, it is best suited for a 28" underbust. Despite the larger size, my breasts still hover 1/2" above the wire due to my need for maximum projection at the wire. Geisha plunge has maximum projection mid-cup. Predictably, my short roots did not fill the top of the cup. Comexin two-seam half cups are a better bet for me and my need for immediate projection.
Comfortable and providing the perfect shape. Very nice and soft molded cups, worth trying particularly by those who have problems wearing plunge bras or molded cups bras, but would like to have one.
I ordered this 70HH bra together with a 75HH, and the latter is definitely my size. This one is too small for me, so I'll list it. I would say size wise this 70HH comparable to a UK 30FF/G.
It is a gorgeous bra in a soft, creamy, peachy nude with a copper and deep green floral print. It has a bit of a vintag-y, romantic look, and I think it should be a staple in every red headed woman's bra collection, as the coloring really makes me think of English rose type beauties https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />. It also works well on my pale ivory toned skin as a nude.
The bra is very well made, and feels and looks luxurious. The bra is very lightly padded, and provides a fantastically uplifted and round shape. It also gives great cleavage!
I think it is a 2HC? How many vertical seams does the cup have? 2HC's have one seam up the middle and are generally shallower, 3HC's have two seams and have better projection. (Although it varies by model like everything else)
