I ordered this Comexim from Breakout Bras. The bra that I received only has the size '32GG' on the tag.
Sizing advice from the Breakout Bra website recommends going up two cup sizes in this bra and I agree with that assessment. My standard UK cup size is an FF in most bras and I ordered this bra in GG. The cup fits almost perfectly and is very comfortable. There is very slight gap between my breast tissue and the very edge of the cup. I feel a smaller cup size would cause overflow.
The band is very snug on the tightest hooks. Because of this Bratabase flags this bra as a non-fitting one for me but I think once I break it in, the band will be fine as I was able to stretch the band to 33" when I measured it.
Overall, very happy with my first Polish bra that fits!
Update - Have lost a few pounds, bra now fits fine without an extender.
I like the look of this bra. Size wise I needed to size up one cup from plunge style. I wear 70HH in Comexim plunges and 70HH in this was too small, so I took 70J and it fits rather nicely. The gore does not tack. For comparison I wear Ewa Michalak in size 70FF (though I feel some of EMs I would prefer 65G). The band is tighter than my Comexim Rita and does get a bit uncomfortable in the end of the day. The shape is very rounded.
The color, and metallic-blue paisley pattern are lovely. The cups are a bit "foamier" than other bras I have, the cups make a squishy sound when you press on them. This isn't a big deal, just something different I noticed. Now onto the fit:
I am full-on-bottom and narrow. I normally wear a 32G (30GG in Freya/ 30G in deco). I found the band to be just right on my 30.5" ribcage. The gore is low, but not too low that my breasts spill out towards the center. It also lays flat against my sternum. I fill out the bottom of the cups nicely, but the cups are ...pretty tall and gap a bit near my armpits. This may be able to be corrected by a smaller cup, but it's something I can live with.
The shape under clothes is great! Very uplifed, not too round/not too pointy shape. The bra doesn't show under clothes either which is great!
All in all, I like this bra. It's pretty, comfortable and wearble under almost anything. I found the 70J to fit like a 32G/32GG.
32FF ABTF size, short narrow roots, firm, immediately projected tissue, even fullness.
This is one of two bras in my second order of Comexim by B.O.B’s, and this review will be very similar to one I did for the other bra, a 32GG Comexim Basic Half Cup 3HC in Nude.
I ordered two sizes up from my UK size per the B.O.B suggestion for a good technical fit. My first order prior to this one was another half cup model in a 32G that was just a touch too small, but is a good cleavage boost option. The 32GG is a good daily fit for my characteristics, but is ...not a 100% technical fit (but I don’t think any bra truly is). The top of the gore did not completely tack, and the cups on this one were slightly looser at the top than the Basic Half Cup 3HC. Not gaping, just not as firmly pressed to the tissue. Overall though, the cups were filled out nicely, straps are wide set (but OK for my broader shoulders, would be an issue for narrower), wires almost perfectly follow the IMF, band is snug but not too tight on loosest hook, provides a very nice, rounded shape. Neither the gore or the top of the cup observation is uncomfortable, and this style is generally a much better fit than any moulded bra I’ve tried on (with the exception of the Panache Cari), so I will indeed be keeping this as part of my daily bra rotation.
Edit 04/06/23: I wrote my first review based on trying on this bra for ~10 minutes to take notes and pictures. I later wore it for ~4 hours and it turns out the gore not tacking IS an issue. I was getting some gaping at the top of the cups, indicating tissue was shifting. I thought perhaps the cups were a bit too large, but when I pressed the gore to my sternum, I not only filled the cups again but had the itsy bitsiest bit of quadding. Unfortunately, this pushes this bra into the "does not work for me" category after all, and I believe I need even more projection at the apex. Read more 259 more words
For reference: I am relatively close set, with narrow breast roots and tissue that is evenly full horizontally, but very full on bottom vertically; I am average with chest placement height-wis, and have moderate to a bit more than average projection, with soft tissue. My best fits are the Comexim Spring in 70J with the wires overlapped, and the Ewa Michalak Black BM Bibi Tulipan in 75FF (worth mentioning I purchased the BM Bibi Tulipan pre-owned, so I don't know how stretched out it was/wasn't when I received it.)
The Comexim Scarlet 3HC clearly runs very small, and seems to do so across this model consistently through other sizes ...as well. I couldn't even come close to fastening this bra, even though I had other Comexim in the order the same size that I had no problem with. I did ask for Joanna at Comexim to lower the gore by 2 cm and to add depth to the cup by 2 cm, but when I measured I noticed the cup depth is much less than expected. This makes me think the model runs small overall or the patterns being used for it are somehow mis-sized. Read more 86 more words

I'm still upset with the fit of this bra, but I'm kinda warming up to it now. Being in between sizes really sucks; everything I have tried is either too small or too big https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I purchased this with my Graffiti and Black Swan a while back. I tried them all on and I was so upset I cried. ALL of them were too small in the cups. But now that I'm loosing a little weight, They fit 100 times better. Would fit better if it were a 65L.
I am currently in between sizes so I thought I could maybe fit in this now. It is still slightly too small in the cups and the band is very very strechy. 65L would be a better fit. What i do love about this bra is everything comes forward and not to the sides like CK. Great cleavage.
The fabric is super soft and springy feeling, comfortable on the skin. The foam feels sturdy but not thick. Nice, round shape. This bra does not work for me, I'm center full and so I think it fits well at the outside of the cups but I spill out and quad in the center.
I actually tried this from breakout bras, hence the size I provided, and in the nursing style (so with nursing clips). I’ll preface my review by saying I own 4 comexim bras, two in a 60HH (always too tight and used an extender, always slightly small in the cup) and two in a 65HH (that fit well previously), none of which fit any longer due to a size change. I chose not to order direct from Poland this time, and I’m glad I didn’t. There’s a couple things wrong with this bra for me. First, I had a hard time figuring out what size to order. In comexim ...sizes, I needed 2 cups up from a 65HH. I settled on a GG in breakout bras size. I was unsure if a 30 or 32 band would be best, as one of my 65s is very firm and one is more comfortable. I decided on a 32 after discussing with breakout bras. Unfortunately, the band is too loose. I can fasten it on the tightest hook and could go tighter, even with my preference for wiggle room. The cups go up unusually high in the armpit area, and the bra doesn’t let my tissue fill the sides, either due to the band being large or the nursing alteration, or possibly the cups being too large. My tissue is pushed from the sides and the sides flatten out where the nursing strap is in the cup. So maybe that is too tight and trying to function as the bra itself? I’m not sure, but it causes gapping at the top of the band on the side, cup wrinkling, and the cup flares out oddly away from my armpit area. No adjustment to the bra makes this better. I considered sizing down in both band and cup, but this cup gives me a good fit in the front and a size down would likely have some quadding. I also find the wide straps on this bra to be painful compared to my thinner ones on my other comexim bras. Overall, this rubs and hurts, which is a first for me when it comes to comexim. While the wires are narrow and fantastic, the high sides still lead to armpit discomfort. Overall, this is a disappointment to me and I’ll be returning the bra. Read more 282 more words
Gorgeous bra, well made, great support; everything you expect in a Comexim. The band must run a bit large on this one because I can't usually wear a 70 in Comexim. Update 12/2018: If it were a 75J, I could wear it again at my current UK 32H/HHish.
I wanted to love this bra; I mean, look at that colorful pattern! It's so so pretty. But it just doesn't fit as comfortably as I'd like it. It lifts my breasts, the gore tacks, the band is nice and firm, but I just don't find myself wearing it.
Gaping at top edges of cups, similar to other padded plunges I have by Comexim. More noticeable on my smaller breast, but doesn't show while wearing a shirt, so I'll keep it as a not everyday bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Nice, tight band , and the red color is a really rich, vibrant shade. The straps are really smooth and comfortable. Following alterations done: raised gore narrowed straps
Identical to Comexim Beauty. I was able to estimate my size accurately. Band may be stretchier given it's a nude rather than black fabric. I expected it to be significantly more projected in the 70J than my 70G, but it's not much different. Supposedly the 3-part half cup should have better bottom projection than a plunge, but I don't think that's true for my cup size. My Basic 65K has better. Still a great everyday work look. Holds breasts closer to the body.
My type : 30G UK, fullness of bottom, narrow to average root, projected, short
Alternation 1. Made in a 3HC cut 2. Straps moved in 2cm 3. Cookie pockets added 4. Overlapped gore/narrow gore 5. Reduced cup height 6. Reduce center gore by 1 cm

This has sufficient immediate depth for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Celebrating! Because 60 cm bands fit me well, I would not have ordered this size. Many thanks to my "boob cousin" for sharing!! Although I can easily fasten this on the tightest hooks, I need the width and depth of this size.
My best fitting bra, 65K Eris 3HC, often feels insufficient in immediate depth. Soon, a Comexim 65L 3HC will arrive. If the 65L does not provide enough immediate depth, I will order a 70J 3HC. I'm thrilled to find enough space at the wire. Reading ...the Comexim size charts, the 70J is designed to accommodate slightly more volume than the 65L....
The cup height and wings are too tall for my very short roots. However, I'm certain Comexim will make these alterations. Adding a cookie solves the height problem. In other bras/sizes, however, cookies made no difference in fit because my breast wasn't sitting close to the wire. This fits so much better than other sizes. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
If it isn't obvious, this was a delightful surprise! Again, thank you, imabratinfluence
Great bra just doesn't fit me well. The cups are a little more closed in on top so I spill out of the center and on top. Great lace overlay, satin edging, and overall a great looking bra!
I bought this bra used on Ebay & didn't do enough research on the sizing. It is marked 70J & at the time I was looking for a 32J bra. I've since learned that Comexim doesn't use UK sizing & the 70J is around a 32GG in UK sizing. I was larger then (I've since lost weight) so it was way too small. Since I've lost weight it's still too small in the cup & now it's comfortable in the band, but I'm already in the last set of hooks. I can put it on now & see how it would look if ...it fit & I really like it. It's convinced me that I need to find out my Comexim size. When I first opened it up it seemed very flimsy. I've been wearing @Ewa Michalak S & PL style in 75J for a long time & compared to them it doesn't seem as solidly constructed. It is very stretchy--both the band & the straps, so it doesn't seem like the most supportive. Maybe it would be better in my correct size. I will probably try to re-sell it later.

I bought this here on Bratabase when I was flailing around desperately trying to figure out my Comexim size (after my original Irish coffee failed, but I couldn't figure out HOW it failed). This...just...no. The cup is way too deep and too tall.
This is my first Comexim bra, ordered from Zathiya Lingerie. I definitely need at least a cup size larger, as I was quad-boobing all over the place. Unfortunately, Zathiya does not currently have any Comexims in 70K or 70L, so I will have to wait to try a different size. I found the band to be not very snug on the loosest hook, however, I think a 65 would be too tight. The straps have a slight bit of stretch to them. The bra is absolutely beautiful. The band is a deep red and is not just a plain band, but has an abstract floral pattern. The pattern on the cups is beautiful. It reminds me of antique wallpaper or curtains. The seams on the cups are sown so that they are not very prominent. I understand that this bra is discontinued, so I am sad to say that I probably won't be able to ever get it in my proper size. But, I hope to be able to find more Comexims soon!
Yay! I'm glad you found a good fit.
