This is a very pretty bra and so comfortable. I ordered this bra after realizing that my Comexim bras in 80J are not fitting as well as they used to. I asked for increased depth at the wire, reduced cup height and for the straps to be moved in. I’m not sure about the straps, but the other modifications were done. I’m FOB, projected and centre full, and this bra works well for me. I was worried I would be swimming in this bra, but that is not the case. In my old bras, I was noticing that I had more back fat hanging over the band ...than I’d noticed before. With this bra, my back is smooth and all my tissue seems to be contained in the cups. I like the increased wing height in this size as it keeps my sides smoother looking, too. The pattern on this bra is very delicate and I have not had issues with it being noticeable under my clothes. The bra is very pretty, supportive and provides good support.
At this point, this bra is my best fitting bra and I’m in need of more bras in this size. I am not sure if this is just the natural progression of things as my breasts adjust to properly fitting bras or if this increased cup size is something temporary (although it’s now been an issue for a few months, so hormones can’t be blamed and I can’t hold off any longer on not ordering more bras). While I love the idea of the half cup bras, I am more successful in finding Comexim plunge bras that work for me and I’ll be sticking with the plunge style on my next order. I’m not sure, at this cup size, if I should order one bra without mods to see how it fits in comparison. I’m wondering if the immediate projection I need would be met with a standard K cup or if I should get the same modifications that I’ve requested for this bra. Read more 234 more words
Oh, that's a delicate finish yet sturdy hugger ;) Glad you feel great init, a good bra makes a good day !
And, yes, I can confirm: Boobs do adjust to bras. No kidding, tissues and skin can undergo permanent plastic deformation if subjected to constraints for long enough.

Actually an old but somehow forgotten "trick".
Congrats on getting a good fit out of this one. It looks great!
I have this bra and it's pretty shallow at the wire compared to my other Comexims. If you do the no mods test, I wouldn't pick this one.
Sovavosi, thanks! I was considering an unmodified Basic plunge. I have an 80J that seemed fairly deep relative to other bras I have. I seem to have a little more top fullness than before, so hopefully not reducing the height won’t be a huge issue. Some of my bras that gaped at the top are now filled. Do you know what Comexim plunges are deeper at the wire?
I think Patricia and Curaçao were better, but those are extra deep cuts. Their regular plunges are all too shallow for me.
I second Patricia. Also the plain "basic" plunge seems to run small per the reviews I've read, so I would suggest reviewing the data here on BtB before ordering the Basic. From my experience, customizations are iffy with Comexim. Rarely are they all done, so try to keep them to a minimum of the most important. When they are done, they are great, but when they're skipped the fit is horrible &/or uncomfortable.
This one looks like grear fit on you.
*This one looks like a great fit not grear. Sorry. Darn small phone keyboard!
MamaPagan, thanks! I’m considering ordering without alterations if I can find the right bra because it’s so hit and miss with their mods. I usually just ask for reduced cup height and deeper at the wire, but I’m wondering if I can get away with deeper at the wire without reducing the cup height. The Mimi (which was a terrible fit- I thought it was a 3HC and it’s a 2HC) was definitely cut too low with the mods. I thought I owned the Basic plunge in 80J, but it’s the Elena and I’m thinking I may be able to get away with ordering it without mods in 80K.
I do hope it works out for you! I haven't had the best of luck with Comexim bras, but with so many here that have I am thinking it's just due to my odd size.
There is always the Breakout Bras option which has easy returns and you get them within a week. They don't always fit like Comexim direct, but it is a fast way to try a few different patterns or styles out without risk.
Okay, to begin with I’m not sure what’s going on with my cup size. My first Comexim bras were 80HH and while they seemed to fit, I felt like the 80J may be more comfortable. I bought a few 3HC and plunge bras in 80J with reduced cup height and increased depth at the wire last spring. These bras fit and seemed like the ideal size until I recently realized recently that these once comfy bras were suddenly feeling tight. I waited it out, thinking it was hormones, but the 80Js are definitely feeling small even though my weight hasn’t changed much (only a few pounds and when ...I started buying Comexim I weighed more than I do now). I’m in my late 40s and I don’t know if it’s a hormonal thing or just me slowly figuring out my cup size. I ordered a plunge bra and the Mimi in 80K and the plunge is so comfortable, it fits so well and the back fat I was seeing in my 80Js has almost disappeared. I’ll post a review on that bra later. I am not sure if this increase in cup size is something temporary and I’m afraid of investing too much in bras that might not fit, but I need more than one comfortably fitting bra.
Unfortunately the Mimi that I received is wrong on so many levels.
This is my first complete miss with Comexim and the first time they didn’t provide the modifications I requested. I ordered this because I had previously ordered a Mimi 3HC in 80J with the similar modifications, which were a reduced cup height and deeper at the wire. The 80J fit okay at the time, but the cup height was just too low. I did like how the cup seemed more closed at the top and with my FOB, centre full, soft breasts, I thought that this style should work well for me with the right alterations. I ordered the Mimi in 80K as a 3HC with reduced cup height, deeper at the wire and straps moved in. I am not sure about the straps, but I think it’s deeper at the wire but it’s definitely only a 2 part half-cup bra. I think the pictures tell the story. The bra flattens out my center tissue, is cut too low, and cuts into my breast tissue. I am frustrated, as I feel like the Mimi should work for me. I’m considering trying again, with it deeper at the wire and with the straps moved in but without reducing the cup height, but I’m afraid I’m just wasting my money at this point. I like the look of 3HC bras, but Comexim plunge bras definitely work better for me.
Anyone have the Mimi without reduced cup height? Is it lower than other half cup bras? Should I try again with this style or call it at this point? Read more 378 more words
This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered straps,
Deeper at the wire, straps moved in.
I asked customization below. 1. Moved in straps (1cm) 2. Cookie pocket 3. More space in circuit.
Since I ordered and wore Geisha, I just love comexim longline bra. And Dafhne is my first halfcup bra purchased from Comexim. When I was received this bra in mail (only few hours ago!) I was soooo surprised because it is as narrow and deep as Comexim Plunge bras. I've heard that Comexim halfcup is wider but, at least, mine is just same. (http://bra.pe/XR1B/ Please check my other review for Geisha) And its size feels like true to size, well.. fits like uk 34h/36gg. Although I didn't asked the reduced cup option, its ...gore is quite short and the cups are not that tall. (For referrerance I can' wear EM's S cut because its cups are too tall for me) I love the wide wings as I didn't asked reducing cups. The band is stretchier than Geisha, so that I can fasten the loosest hook at the first wearing.
And about the appearance.. what more can I say. I think it is much better in person. The pictures seem to be little bit darker. Its color is just minty mint https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> I guarantee that this is more beautiful in person. I reminded Mint chocolate as looking at it in some way.
Unfortunately, I have gained few pounds recently, so that my breasts have also grown. 80K size is too small now. Because of that, the wire floats a little bit and I get quadboob too. Read more 148 more words
Would you post a picture of the inside of the cups? I really want to see how Comexim does their cookie pockets.
A Dafhne longline! That looks absolutely gorgeous.
Would you be interested in selling?
It looks lovely! Do you find that the halfcup runs true to size compared to the plunge?
What does "more space in circuit" mean?
jlcl119 my mistake. I thought I uploaded it. And I did now. The material is thin cotton jersey, so that it doesn't look as luxurious as EM's, I think it's fine though.
@voluptuousbeauties Yes, it's absolutely gorgeous, and definitely more gorgeous in person ;)
@alawsbras Well.. it doesn't fit for now, but I wanna keep it. It's, seriously, too pretty. haha
@JulieCS comparing 'not reduced' halfcup to 'reduced' plunge, my answer is yes. I can't wear Geisha 80K;reduced plunge style because I get too much quadboob, but I can still manage to wear Dafhne. The wires are a little bit floating, though.
@BumbleBean I heard that expression here. It means looser band at the bottom for not tapered rib cage. Usually longline bras cut into round tummy, but when I asked the option, it does not. Literally it gives more space near tummy.
This was originally ordered as a half cup. I did order several bras at once, all with alterations, so I am thinking that is where the mix up happened. Either way, I still love this bra. The material is so soft, and the pattern in gorgeous. It's like a garden. I wore this one to work today, and once it was on, I didn't feel it for the rest of the day. It gives great support, is so comfortable, and I am pretty sure that I said this in my last review, it's Comexim. You can't go wrong. I will be ordering another HC bra though, because I really want to try the style. A couple of my friends at work know about my Polish bra addiction, and I have no shame in showing them the beauties that I am wearing whenever it is a new one. lol
Out of my entire recent Comexim order, Mint might be my favorite. I say that now, but I haven't worn the others yet, just tried on for fit purposes. I wore Mint today for the first time, and is just melted onto me. I couldn't even tell that I was wearing it. I didn't need to adjust anything during the day. The band didn't ride up, the straps felt great and the girls stayed in place. Let's not forget that the bra is beautiful. I know this one has been around for a long time, and has been reviewed more than a few times. But not by me. lol https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> I was really looking forward to this one, and Anna did not disappoint with my alterations. I am so excited to have some winners in my collection! Making due was getting old https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
This is Comexim, so it is amazing. I feel like that is just a given with Comexim. I may be biased because Anna has made shopping for bras online and overseas really easy to do. lol. I love Ingrid. It is gorgeous, the colors are warm, and the fabric is soft. This was one of the bras in my first Comexim order to gauge sizing, and it worked. And I was able to email Anna pictures so that she could see what alterations needed to be made for my future orders. I have only worn it once, to take the pictures. I will most likely be re-ordering this with the alterations.
Were you emailing Anna in English? If so, did you have any language issues at all?
Cymbidium I used the Google translator, and put the Polish version of my email at the top, and the English underneath, so that I could keep track of the conversations. She speaks very little English, but I have heard that she does speak Spanish very well. I didn't have any problems communicating with her :)
What's the correct Polish translation for "cup"? I've heard Google translate gives "chalice" instead.
I do know fluent spanish-speakers, so maybe I'll go that route.
Cymbidium Anna uses the word "bowl" for the cup. She replies in Polish, and I plug her reply into the translator, and bowl is what pops up.
Ok, thanks! I'm planning on asking her about the halfcups and possible alterations.
Cymbidium she is really amazingly sweet and helpful. Comexim is on vacation for the month of July, so if she doesn't respond right away, she isn't ignoring you :) What size do you wear?
My 55HH is a bit too large in the band, so I think I'll be getting a 50J, and probably the Emanuelle (but I don't know how to choose 😢).
Yeah, I was so disappointed when I saw that. I had just found my size and wanted to order more. 😢 I'll have to wait.
Emanuelle is really nice! the material is so soft! I would go ahead and email her anyways, if your size isn't in the pop up. At least then you will be on the list when they do come back :)
tanzi1103 I'm waiting on my Anna Pardal with alterations to determine what I'll get in Comexim in case something goes terribly wrong it.
Cymbidium ohhhh.. ok. I did the same thing with my new Comexim order. had to stop myself from getting Dottie until I knew if the alterations would work or not.
tanzi1103 It's so hard because I'll have to wait for the manufacturing time for the AP and then Comexim. 😧 so not for a couple of months will I get my Emanuelle.
Cymbidium that is the only thing that I don't like! the wait! and as soon as I get my tracking info, I am constantly checking for updates. lol
tanzi1103 haha yes, the tracking! On my last order from Wellfitting I was sent the wrong tracking number and I thought my package was sent to New York for about 4 hours until my items arrived that afternoon. Was not for a look ng time, bit still not fun.
So this is my first try at Comexim, but I am already certain I will be buying/investing in more. This bra is heavenly! The design is nude, very basic which is what I wanted to try out first so I would be able to see what needs to be adjusted for the true fit. The band is snug. It stretches a lot more than I thought it would, and so it leaves plenty of elasticity room. It didn't budge at all during wearing, and wasn't itchy even though the borders are thick lace. The band is also very wide and comfortable; I felt it kept in my back ...fat/tissues in the area quite well and I didn't feel any irritation. The straps are great overall. I have a small issue with how wide set they feel on my shoulders, so I had to keep readjusting, but they're not itchy and don't dig into my sensitive skin. I truly haven't had such a pleasant experience with straps like this! As for the cup.. It gapes for me in the middle and areas where the straps connect at the front. There's a slight folding of the padding under my breasts but it's barely noticeable compared to the top. I'm not sure if that's a sign of one size too large, or too small. However I can't feel the gaping, I just see it, so it looks a bit off under smooth clothing (although overall this isn't a grand problem for me). The cup itself is smooth and soft, the padding is minimal and doesn't force your breast into an awkward look. The underwires- they're narrow, which is the most wonderful feeling on my ribcage in years. I have had problems with underwires being far too wide in my UK bras, even Freya, where they poke and stab into my armpit and tender skin all day until I have sores. These underwires sit nearly perfectly in my tail of Spence and I literally feel nothing but snug support all day. I think the sizing is perfect for me. However I did notice (probably due to cup size issue) that the middle regions under both breasts do have a bit more pressure from the underwire. It's not uncomfortable per se but there was a heavier feel and red marks lasted a little longer there. I feel that the underwire under the breasts was trying to push its way a bit down out of my IMF but that's also possibly due to how I was going about my day. OVERALL. This bra is amazing. It's the best one in my new collection so far and I intend to buy more. This is a plunge however so I'm not sure if it conforms well to my breast shape/type but I'll probably experiment along the way and see if I can make some alterations. Either way, Comexim really pulled me in! Read more 378 more words
Geisha is beautiful. The pictures on the website do not do this one justice. The nude base with the black mesh/lace and soft peachy/pink floral pattern are stunning. The little black satin bows on the straps are perfect. The black satin bow on the gore is perfect. Everything about this bra is perfect. Did I mention Comexim? lol The only issue that I have with this bra is that the band runs tighter than my other 80 bands from the same order. And I honestly don't care. I haven't worn this one yet, except to try on and take pictures, but I am in love, and I will not give it up. Tight bands are what extenders are for https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Spaced straps... so the cup gapes some but not as much due to top being lace stretch. It hides the wrinkling rather well across the top. Fits a bit more snug in the cup than the others but holds well, projection still nice even though it protrudes or looks like it's forcing outwards more. Band is tighter feeling due to the firm mesh but actually feels quite nice as well and keeps the sides tucked in snugly. I had to tighten the straps more to keep the cups set in place as my left one was sagging a bit. Underwire sits well, gore floats a little but the pressure doesn't sit directly on the band. Everything seems to spread out still and my breasts stay mostly in place. Overall it's a beautiful bra and while I don't know how to feel about the areolas trying to peek, it still looks nice and almost formal.
Quick review, apologies for some lacking details. I'll try to add anything extra later.
Straps feel fine but too spaced, causing gaping at the cup (though not as badly as plunge style) Projection feels fine, gore floats a bit Band is comfortable and covers sides across the fatty tissue nicely. I really like the trim and the bra design overall. The cups feel a bit more fulfilling compared to plunge style for my breasts, and while it looks to be a full coverage bra it actually doesn't come across as such when I wear it. The styling overall is wonderful and everything sits well enough on me that I can go all day wearing this.
Thank you for reviewing and measuring - there is always need for more info for 36 and 38 bands! Quick NOTE: don't list this bra as ALTERED bc Bratabase won't let your measurements be used in comparisons. I think you'll nee to list this bra a separate MODEL The 3HC construction is delivering that signature Comexim cleavage and I agree that Comexim half cups are medium coverage. The gore on my Elise floats a bit, as well, and my solution is to ask for the FIRM UNDERWIRE customization. And again, thank you!
BustOnACusp I see, thank you for the information! I will make some corrections and fix the model type. I didn't know if I needed to consider it as 'altered' or not since I'd requested a new model. But now I know! And yes, after further wear I've really come to love the 3HC cup shape and fit. It's truly a near perfect fit with some cleavage (which is fine to me!). I will see if I can request a firmer underwire at some point!
Doesn't seem to look as projected as the other Comexims I have now, but this is fine and not a bother Underwire feels less firm, cups are meshy and stretchy which is fine but slightly itchy across the mesh inlay inside Straps sit too wide but aren't digging into skin or rubbing; the cup wants to gape but with the non-padded style it sits down more Gore floats a bit, but the pressure doesn't move into the band or underwire too hard. It's a comfortable feel. The lace across the bottom in the band does rub a bit since it's firm but I think with a few washes it'll mellow out. Overall another good fit, this is a nice bra at home.
Going to make this a bit brief so I apologize for the lack of extra details.
Overall great fit, but fit much like Elena plunge since the strap alteration I'd asked for weren't done Straps being tightened/too wide set caused further gaping in cups, which pulled cups in and also prevented some projection Gore floats but band doesn't seem to sit harshly across Feels a bit stretchy/large? But moving in the clasps to the middle set made a more snug fit. Feeling of fabric is great, band fits well and underwire sits fine. I absolutely love the lace details and will probably order this one again asap! However I will not try plunge again, and instead request a 3HC style.
1. Reduced cup ( I thought the reduced cup means reducing cup's height near the strap attachment,but it was figured out that it means reducing cups and 'wing's height.) 2. More space in circuit. 3. Moved in straps (1cm) 4. Raised gore. Even though I asked more space for the band, it is quite snug. I think Geisha has one of tightest band. The length of it is not that short, but is not much stretch. I love it though. It is soooo comfortable that I can wear it for a full day.The cup is narrow and very deep like all other Comexim Plunge bras. 80K fits like UK 34H.
This a fantastic bra. Well made, quality bra from Comexim. This is a unmodded bra, as well.
I am a difficult bra fit. I was hoping that this one would work for me, but it doesn't. My shape characteristics are full all over with a need for bottom and center projection. Narrowish root, close set and center full breasts.
When I first put the bra on, I thought it was my unicorn. I felt like I wasn't wearing a bra. I filled out the top of the cup perfectly, wires were just right and though the gore didn't tack (not a fit criteria for me), it looked ...excellent. Slightly tight band, but fairly true to size 80/36. Fabric backed fully adjustable straps, that I could see getting stretchy eventually. Plunge with plenty of center projection. Fantastic bra!
Problems came after wearing it for a day. I started to spill into the center of the bra, and I started to get quadding. The bottom of the bra folded over itself and the whole cups went with it. So this is not the bra for me.
I both want to try again with another Comexim, modded, and want to give up on them all together.
This bra just doesn't fit me right. It was my first venture into Comexim territory and was a big miss. The gore floats, I get quadboob, and I'm not getting any lift. Definitely the wrong style and size for me.
Pros: it's a fantastic basic. The beige color and smooth fabric disappears under clothes. It's a very well-made bra. The reduced cup height (as I was told by the woman who sold it to me) did keep this bra from riding up onto my armpits, making it really comfortable.
This was a reduced cup bra. I am short rooted, pendulous, projected and center full. I had too much upper fullness and center fullness for this bra. The wires were too soft for my tissue to give me much lift as well, so this would be good for a not as soft breasts.
The band is tight. Very tight, I couldn't even try it on without a full extender, so this would probably fit someone looking for a tight 34. as the stretched measurement was 33. This is a nice ultilitarian beige bra, that is well built. I couldn't see the seams under a shirt, so that's a positive.
The straps are fully extendable, and a nice average length. Not too short, not too long with metal keepers. The strap material is soft and not itchy at all. Matter of fact, the rest of the bra is this way as well. It's a great bra, just not for me.
Oh, that's a delicate finish yet sturdy hugger ;) Glad you feel great init, a good bra makes a good day !
And, yes, I can confirm: Boobs do adjust to bras. No kidding, tissues and skin can undergo permanent plastic deformation if subjected to constraints for long enough.
