This is my first Comexim bra. Ordering from Comexim was intimidating, so I ordered through Sophisticated Pair. Erica had me try on another bra first so we could determine sizing before placing a custom order. The Charme is a beautiful bra, with nice lace and ribbon detailing. On the manufacturer's website, the bra looks darker, but in person, you see the nude color under the mesh more clearly.
Me: Close-set breasts with wide roots. I'm somewhat even, but slightly FOB. Half-cup bras work best for me.
The band length will be an issue because I'm wearing it on the tightest hook and it's brand new. But Comexim is not ...always consistent with sizing on their custom bras, so it's hard to say if the issue is the 40/90 band or if the issue is that they just didn't make the bra to the set specifications (which Comexim is apparently notorious for).
Sophisticated Pair is able to order a wider size range of Comexim bras, which was one of the reasons I chose to order through them. I tried on the "Stiff Capuccino" bra in 40G before I got this one and we decided to go with the 40H with a reduced cup and to move in the straps for my sloped shoulders. I definitely have to "swoop and scoop" with the bra because the cups are too big if I don't fully pull all of my breast tissue forward.
The bra gives a nice, rounded shape, similar to my Freya bras, but the Comexim has a much better tack and it's much more comfortable than my Cleo Marcie and Cleo Blake, which have great projection, but have high U shaped wires that press a little too firmly. The Charme is definitely a bra you need to wear with a thick shirt/dress or camisole as the pleating, lace, and seams will show through most clothes.
I wish Comexim wasn't so hard to order from. I like the bra overall and I would consider getting another Comexim bra if the process of ordering wasn't so difficult. Sophisticated Pair has cut back on ordering from Comexim due to too many errors with the custom orders.
If you fit within the standard Comexim sizing and don't need a custom size, then the Charme is a lovely bra if you want a sexy, sophisticated bra with a hint of a burlesque look. Read more 288 more words
I like this bra and it's decently comfortable unless I'm sitting for a while. This is a Breakout Bra size 40G and the cups gape slightly and the band is quite tight. I am thinking it doesn't have enough projection for me hence the band being tight when it should be okay.
40FF - Comexim ยป Elise is my first Comexim bra and it was purchased through Breakout Bras in their US/UK size. This size corresponds to Comexim manufacturer's size of 90H when buying directly from Poland. I highly recommend ABraThatFits' calculator tool for sizing. Breakout Bras' fit guidelines were accurate even at fuller cup/larger band end of size range, going 2 cup sizes up from my true size of 38:7/40:6 to 40:8 or 40FF fit. This bra has the narrowest gore and most center-forward projected 3-part half cup design I've ever seen compared to fellow Polish Gorsenia or Alles. The gore nearly tacks but the underwires are a little ...too soft and flexible for that. The Comexim 3HC construction seems uniquely designed for lift and cakes-on-a-plate cleavage for Even and FoT breasts rather than immediate projection at the wire. It's a bit shallow for my pendulous, FoB boobs that resist giving cleavage. However, this 3HC is still a solid medium-gore, medium-cut and coverage bra where even the STANDARD, Manufacturer's cup height was ALMOST low-cut enough for my lack of upper volume. At a very fair ~$50 price point compared to Panache that retails for ~$70 (but luckily re-sells on eBay). The standard strap placement was right and comfortable for my average, unsloped shoulders. The straps are half-adjustable in the back. The band is double-layered and a firmer TTS. The lace mesh overlay smooths out the seams, the edge trim is flat enough and there is no pesky embroidery which adds up to a nearly invisible profile under clothes. The peachy beige colorway should be a wearable neutral for light to medium complections of all undertones. I have since ALTERED the bra by REDUCING the cup height about 2 cm to eliminate gapping ending up a touch too low-cut. I might also swap in FIRM underwires. If only Panache-strength underwires were commercially available! My next purchases were custom Comexims, which was intimidating but worth it Read more 206 more words
