This is an extremely comfortable, Comexim creation that is no longer available.
Surprisingly, this 75HH fits better than the 65HH "custom" Eve I ordered one year ago. But, my center-full, close set, somewhat narrow breasts are unhappy with the still too-narrow wire and still too-wide gore.
Unlike my custom Eve, this 75HH is not too tall. For me, this is a shock. I'm very short-waisted, and all too often experience an open field in the top of Comexim cups. This 75HH is two cup sizes larger than the 65HH custom order and has a "raised gore" alteration. Why the 75HH fits better than the 65HH in the top of the cup will remain a mystery. If you look at the measurements for 65HH Eve, "something strange" happened to my mutant 65HH. http://bra.pe/S612/
Many thanks to mandapandarawks for graciously giving her comfortable, discontinued Eve away!!

It did work in that I recalled pleasant memories. This fabric and these straps are super comfortable. :-) :-)
The Eve Bra is not discontinued: https://www.comexim.pl/en/full-cup/46-eve-stanik.html
I'm steady about to purchase it too lol
This bra fits close to a 32FF UK.
Since the Elena is not available in a 75HH on their site, I chose a 75H, then asked for a 75HH 3HC in the comments section during checkout.
This bra works well for my fairly narrow and short roots, and does have enough immediate depth/projection. I do get some gapping on my smaller side.
Unfortunately I have issues with the bottom of the band cutting into me pretty painfully after several hours of wear. I have this issue even if I use an extender, so I don't believe the band is too tight. I suspect this issue may be caused by poor posture, or perhaps my ribcage doesn't work well with the band tension.

I have 75K - Comexim » Sonia Half Cup (406) that cuts into me that way on my puffy days, and I've found it helps tremendously to hook the clasps unevenly to make them tighter at the top. Maybe that will help you?
How do you like the materials, etc? I have a custom plunge Elena on its way to me as well so I'm very interested. :)
eryoptical I had totally forgotten about trying to hook them unevenly, thank you!
It's a fairly simple bra, but it's very well made, IMO. I don't think it's the softest thing in the world, but that's doesn't really bother me.
This bikini is so so so cute, but for some reason, when I asked for my raised gore last summer when I purchased it, I was told they could not do that alteration. It was weird! I've never had issues with asking for that before, and I desperately needed a new swimsuit, so I bought it anyways. I mean, it fits, but my boobs just fall towards the center and get all quad boob-ie there. It's not pretty, and makes me self conscious. (Even MORE so since this is the first time I've ever ventured out in a bikini before!)
Other than the gore being way too low for my breasts, the top is very nice. I asked for narrowed straps and to have them fully adjustable, which they did for me.
This bikini would be perfect if the gore had been made higher for me. Once I get my new bikini in the next few weeks, I'll be listing this bad boy for anyone who wants to try it out. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Finally, bikini success! Since starting my search for better bras I've been very successful with regular bras, but not so much with bikini tops. Last year, I tried a lot of Freya tops, and eventually bought one that really doesn't match my shape (I'm pretty projected, but not that projected).
So, when I discovered that the Comexim 3HC is pretty great on me, I decided to order a bikini top in the same model. And it's beautiful! Simple and all black, with gold details, which I usually don't care for, but on this top it works.
The half cup shape really looks lovely, and the fact that it's not a ... halter top makes my neck muscles rejoice! The cups fit, but they are either a tiny bit too small, or a little too closed on top. I get the tiniest bit of quad boob. However, it's not really a problem for me, as it's a bikini top and I don't plan to wear it under clothes. Without clothes, I think I will be the only one to notice the quadding, and it gives me good cleavage.
The band is tight, as all Comexim bras are, but I like it, and the clasp has some sort of security click system that will prevent it from springing open accidentally (I've had a snap happy clasp on a bikini before, that was a bit too adventurous for my taste). The straps are not fully adjustable, and rather stretchy, so I'll probably have to shorten them.
The bra is quite low coverage, but I like that the cups are not as short as the Ewa CHPs. This means there is little risk of nipples peeking out.
I'm interested to see what happens once this gets wet, but I have high hopes for this top keeping its excellent shape in the water.
*damn, I need to clean my mirror, it's so dusty!

Beautiful!!!
I have the Bra Obsessed plunge version! Trust me, you won't regret this at all. This bikini holds up amazingly to water. My straps are a little too long for comfort but they didn't get very stretchy when wet and nothing gaped or moved around or anything!
Cool, I didn't know there also was a plunge version of this top, but I prefer the 3HC cut anyway. Good to hear that it keeps its shape in the water.
Do you have the bottom as well? I have a lovely Freya bottom, but it's black with white polka dots, so a slight mis match. I'm considering ordering ordering a matching bottom...
I don't, but I kinda want to. I love how soft the fabric is.
This is the first Polish bra that I have tried, and it is the best fitting bra I've tried on so far of all the bras I've tried. It doesn't quite fit perfectly, but it was the only Comexim my local shop had in my size. The store marked the 75HH as equivalent to a 34G [UK]. I experience a bit of quadboob as tissue moves inward throughout the day, which is probably due to the low gore and/or my soft breast tissue. One cup size larger, or a slightly higher gore might fix this. The cups come up a bit too high in the top corner, and ... there is a little space there. I've recently noticed that the underwires have been sliding from the center to the sides because there's a little extra room there. Moving them back to the center gore has helped. The wire width is perfect. If the wires were just a little higher (0.5") on the side/ wing, though, they'd be jabbing into my tail of spence/ underarm. Like all bras I've tried on, the band slides down during the day. Perhaps due to the cup size or shape of the cup. I'm not sure.

I got this bra a while back, before I realized I simply can't get the regular Comexim bras without alterations. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It's a beautiful bra and very well made, but the straps are too wide and the gore is too short. There's lots of empty space at the top of the cup, so I don't feel secure, like my boobs are gonna flop right out or something. It's weird.
I would totally wear this bra if I had the correct alterations done, though. It's so pretty!

This is a moulded-cup bra that fits like a soft-cup bra. The cup is made up of three parts, similar to soft-cup bras. It also is made of a thick cloth, not the foam that is found in other moulded-cup styles. If I had to describe it, I'd say that it's more of a soft-cup bra with really, really thick cups instead of moulded, even though it holds its shape when I take it off.
This is my first Polish bra, and I'm impressed. I wear a 32GG in British bras, and this 75HH fit really well. The cups may be a tiny, tiny ... bit too big, but I'm afraid that a 75H would fit too small. It's a gorgeous bra, with tiny bows and lace trim, and it's prettier than any other nude bra I currently own. The band is nice and snug, and it's not too tight. It stretches to 31 inches exactly, and my snug undercuts is 31.25, so it's not uncomfortable. The underwires and cups hold all of my tissue after scoop/swoop, which is something I can't say about any other bra I own.
I'm very pleased with Comexim and I look forward to trying more of their bras.

This bra is beautiful and well made. I have the nursing bra version and it’s the perfect bra for summer and heat. The fabric is soft, cups have immediate projection, the gore is med-high height, and it is exactly as pictured. The black fabric does feel a bit more snug than other fabrics tend to feel so I would recommend sister sizing up if you can. I’m a 32G but got 34FF (75HH) and it fits perfectly.

This longline seems to run a bit more snug than some of the other Comexim longlines I’ve encountered. It’s beautiful, but proportionately very shallow at the wire.

This bra is beautiful and makes me feel sexy. The cups are a little on the small side for me and with my center fullness, I tend to get some quad boob throughout the day. If I ordered again, I think I would size up in the cup. The band feels perfect. It has held up pretty well over the years, minus the lace being cut in some places.

I'm not usually a yellow fan but I really like the print and the yellow and grey combo on this bra! Its definitely the wrong size. I requested straps moved in 2 cm and reduces cup height. No idea if it was done or not, but this cup size is laughably large on me.

Since you can't return the altered bra, if you are happy with the wire fit, perhaps you could have a seamstress skilled in bra alterations adjust the cups - perhaps a dart or two. In my small city, there is one bra store. They have a seamstress that they work with who knows how to alter bras. I have gone to see her myself and have had pleasant results with bras that were otherwise not usable for myself. Cheap too at $7 for what I needed doing.
jazzypants that occurred to me! I have altered bras but they were all softcups
me too. That is why I suggest a seamstress who knows more.
I’m sorry the cups are so big on you! Looks like maybe 2 cup sizes too big. Pretty bra, though. If you decide not to go the alterations route, you could list on here and I would probably buy it.
snickerdoodle I will probably list it, as I'm not even sure plunge is a good shape for me, I just haven't gotten there yet!
My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots.
This was one of my favorite bras for years. So soft, so comfortable! But this one is pretty stretched out and much too big in the band for me now. This was my "gateway" to stretch lace top cups, which are the only kind of bras that fit me perfectly.

This bikini is awesome, I was so disappointed it did not fit! I learned I was reading the sizing wrong after I bought it, I thought I was a 32:10 and it was a 34:9 so it might work...turns out I'm like a 32:13 so despite my best hopes it wasn't even close to fitting. It's lovely and I really wish it fit!

I don't even know where to begin with this, since I'm so distraught at how badly it fits. After waiting for about two months for this to arrive, it's hard not to be upset!
Ok, so where to start? The past couple Comexim orders I've had have been weird, and I'm not sure why. I always ask for narrow straps, since my shoulders are so narrow, and I've never had any issues with them on bras until recently. Maybe I am asking for them to be TOO narrow, because the strap placement on the cup makes it so the bra cup sorta cuts into my breast tissue in the ... middle, if that makes any sense. The strap pulls upward in a weird spot, so I have way too much open space at the top of the cup in the middle, and not enough cup towards my armpit. (the inner part of my breast spills out of the top near my armpit) So that's what is happening with this bikini top. I think my tissue is so soft or something that padded bras or bikinis just won't fit me no matter what.
I asked for raised gore to 3.5 cm, and this gore is actually 4cm, which is TOO high. I also requested a stretched band measurement of 83 cm, and it's even longer than that stretched, which contributes to it not fitting me, too.
Apart from the fact that this does not fit me whatsoever, and now I don't have a good fitting swimsuit and I don't know what to do, it's super cute and well made. The fabric is vibrant and cuter in person.
Ugh, I'm just frustrated. Do I try to order another one with different customizations and hope it works better? I don't have all the money in the world to be buying swimsuit tops all the time, either, especially since I can't return it. Anyone have any recommendations for better fitting bikini tops for someone who absolutely MUST have narrow wires and straps?

oh dear! I'm sure it is not your tissue... sounds like the cup dimensions just don't match your anatomy. Soft or not, a supported breast is fuller at some points than at others and padded cups do not really adapt to that. If you post a fitting thread I'm sure people can give more help!
Why not try something like this: http://bra.pe/Smv2/? They are all over eBay, super cheap.
Freya Remix is also great. The straps are convertible so you can wear it cross back or halter if you have problems with wide set straps.
Oooh, thanks for the recommendation! Yeah, I have my work cut out for me in searching for a well-fitting swimsuit top. :( Wish me luck!
Since you can't return it, I wonder if altering the straps would be worth a try? You could move them a bit wider on the cup and see if it helps at all.
It is a shame since it's so cute!
I've been having a lot of success with the "full cup" unpadded Comexims, especially with the alterations I always request. (narrowed straps and raised gore) The best part of the unpadded Comexims, in my opinion, are the comfortable straps. The plunge styles have these itchy straps that I really don't like; I find myself always messing with them, trying to move them around and pull them away from my skin.
Anyways, I love my Eve bras. I've got three of them: two in the standard white, and one that I, on a whim, asked for black, and they actually sent me one! The white ones fit me the best. I wish they had more colors and designs in the full cup/unpadded style, but I'll take what I can get. They are very comfortable and supportive.

Ordered the wrong size (mommy brain)..I wear 32F/FF in Freya and Panache - for some inexplicable reason, i ordered a 75HH (read something about this model being smaller in the cups due to the black colorway and band being smaller due to being Polish!)! This is comically large. I'm guessing that a 70H/HH (I measure 98) or 75F would have been fine (according to their chart). Bra does seem to be well made but can tell that it does not have quite enough immediate project for me. This experiment did however confirm that the narrowing of the strap placement and narrow gore does make bras ALOT more comfortable!

It's insanely comfortable, top marks for that! The band is very stretchy and so are the straps. Its a good color for spring and summer. The print is reminiscent of water lilies (although they aren't); watery blue, pale green, white and a few pale pink sprinkles. The mint lace across the top is not binding like ribbon can be. Very smooth, the seams are not prominent and this can be a t-shirt bra. Ordered custom from Zathiya (love them); originally ordered a 70HH which was crazy small band and returned for this 75HH which is crazy loose band - brand new I am fastening on the second set of hooks. The cup depth is the same on both because Zathiya custom ordered a 25cm depth for me. It's still not quite enough for my immediate projection, the bottom folds a little on the inner portion of the wire, but its good enough. And so very comfy!

A lovely well-made bra, comfortable, non-digging, just not my size. Although it held me well whole day, the wires are still not wide enough to prevent side quadding.
Updated on Mar 21, 2017 Flag this
This bra looks and feels lovely, with its lacy yet fully-adjustable straps, and the pattern being on a mesh overlay rather than printed on the actual cups. It's probably the physically lightest bra in my size I've ever held as well! The wires are very very soft, and they feel like nothing when you're wearing the bra.
With this specific bra, I unfortunately ordered it one cup size too small so when scooped thoroughly my boobs quad badly, and when I don't they escape over the low wings and soft wires. Not a great look by itself, but surprisingly not noticeable under a shirt. I did get some movement ... out of my IMF but I think this is a combo of the slightly-too-small cup and the shape not being *quite* projected enough for me. The wires are the first I've found that fit my IMF perfectly though, so this is definitely the brand for me! The gore doesn't tack for the above reasons but it's about the same tack as my EMs, surprisingly.
My one qualm with the bra is actually the piece of fabric containing the eyes - it's quite thin, so I could feel the hooks through the fabric onto my back. The band is also perhaps 1-2mm narrower than this piece, which apparently had quite sharp corners so it was itchy as anything! I fixed this by rounding off the corners with nail scissors, but wasn't too thrilled about this.
I do love this bra though and I may give it another try in a 3HC (or at least a cup size up).

Man, I was hoping it would work out. :( It's an older bra, so maybe that has something to do with the weirdness of the measurements and how they fit?
Either way, it's a mystery!
