This is my first Comexim bra, and I am definitely ordering more despite not a perfect fit. I special ordered it via email using the comexim.pl website email contact . I had a bit of gamble with the size , but not bad guess overall.
My snug underbust measure is 84 cm ~33" and overbust measure is ~115 cm (45") , but that really hard to measure as I have very pendulous projected breast, which kind of rather balanced not predominantly fuller on bottom nor on top. I breastfeed for 3 yr combined and they are huge and saggy.
Currently my ... best fitting UK bra is Panache tango 34K , which gives me good support, but the wires too wide and poked me underarm.( 32KK would be better, but don't exists) . Right now my best fitting bra is a 75K (34K) Ewa Michalak BM bra, which is stretchy lace. I also have relatively good fitting with 75L (34L) Ewa Michalak S bra , which is a padded balconette.
This comexim plunge 75N is padded, and the fit is comparable to my Ewa S 75L, but there are some differences:
1. Band: The band is less stretchy than my EM S style , probably comparable to my EM Bm 75 band. Definitely closer to 32 on Panache tango than a 34.
2. Cupsize: Bratabase sizes my 34K panache tango and my Ewa BM 75K as a :15. This is sized :14 by bratabase and yes it is slightly smaller than those, but I would not say it is a full cupsize. It also hard to tell, as this is a plunge, so more breast tissue is on display , and I am not used to that as I have not had a plunge bra for a decade. Also my boobs fluctuate a good half size through my cycle, and right now I am experiencing the bigger boob days https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
3. Gore: the gore doesn't tack and this is not a problem for those 3 bras, and it is almost never a problem for me. However, it doesn't really bothers me. I think this is somehow related to the fact that this is a plunge and bring things out and inward and on display, and the whole gore is under the whole bra display https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
4: Straps: this is an unaltered Comexim, and I have narrow shoulders and usually feel that bra straps are too wide( all of those 3 mention bra have this issue) ,but this is not a problem here . I may would benefit moving the straps in a little bit, but not a big deal.
5. Underwire: It definitely delivers what is promises. The wires are narrower AND shorter that any bra I ever tried on at this size range. First time ever zero poking underarm. Initially I tried Ewa bras beacuse I read their wire is narrower than UK brand , which is true , but only marginally. I check the measurements, and while some of my Ewa bra has exact same cup / wire width, they still pokes me a bit. This one doesn't because the wire like 5 cm (2") shorter than the Ewa bras wires, which mean they do not go up into my armpit.
6. Support/ placement: I am amazed how high my boob peak is in this bra. The first time in my life my boob peak is actually coincide with the clothes breast placement. Just WOW. I have the Urkye Minimal shirt which was ok fit with my EM bras, but the button pulled a bit and I blamed the shirt, almost returned it. With this bra, those button shirt became perfect fit. This was a huge epiphany for me , as maybe some ill fitting clothes even from busty retailers were ill-fitting because the bra was not as good fit as it could have been.
7: Material/ construction/ value: I would say it is good quality bra, but not OMG so soft and beautiful. I would say the material in my Ewa bras are softer/ fancier looking, but those significantly more expensive as well. Comexim charged me for overseas shipping only 20 plz , and do not charges extra for the extreme size like mine and I was not even on the normal size chart! This bra was 120Plz+ shipping, so it come out total for $35USD. Comexim bras range from 100 Plz ( sale ) to 160 plz( longline!). Including North American shipping that is USD$30-$45, which is a bargain for this fit. Ewa charges 45 plz for shipping + charge for paypal , and even the sale bras start at 150 Plz in my size and range upto 240Plz and some extreme style even more than that. At the end of the day an Ewa bra cost me USD $50-70, which is same as ordering a UK bra from bravissimo.
Overall, I am very happy that I ordered this bra , and I am going to order another comexim right away, but probably I'll go a cupsize up and get a 75O and will try the balconette style. It is good to have a plunge bra for special occasions, but I prefer the modesty and support of the balconette style.
