Very short-waisted, center full, close set, somewhat narrow, immediately projected, shallow apex projection,...
Yikes. My breasts have widened since the last time I wore this size. Living in wireless bras will do that https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
Now, this bra requires a gore narrowing operation, straps moved inward, and a wider wire. I'll just cling to my wireless options and hope I find a less alteration-needing, easily removed, cool, supportive bra for 100+ degrees F. Surreal because I type this as significant ice accumulates on my food forest. And, it was 79 degrees F two days ago. Weather.
Fantastic Comexim quality and my favorite colorway, Sonia.

I'm anticipating summer and itching to find easily- removed-support with a high cotton/hemp/linen content. Oooh! I could make a double-linen bralette: supportive and breathable.
I took a chance on this, getting it at a greatly reduced price at Breakout Bras. It was a worthwhile risk! For a padded bra, it gives a lot of projection at the wire. Normally, if there isn't enough projection, the wires push down and are very painful on my flaring ribs. This doesn't happen and it stays in my IMF. The band runs tight as I expected, but is still comfortable in my normal band size. I get a little bit of gaping at top inside of the cup but without much center fullness, I do this on a lot of bras. Overall, fairly comfortable and I'm sure it will get even better with wear. The colors are beautiful in dark peach with silver lace overlay.

This bra arrived without the narrowed gore. It does have the overlapping gore, but it remains too wide for me at the base of the gore. And, the wings are too high. In the past, moving the straps inward remedied the "wing bite." However, I will need another alteration before this is comfortable.
Despite this, the immediate projection and fit is great 2 weeks per month. The cup is too wide, but the immediate projection is sufficient. Wires do not press painfully into my ribs. I'm thrilled. So, I'll place another order. Sigh.
So beautiful: cookie pockets, straps moved inward, overlapping gore.
For those needing more or less immediate projection in Comexim/AP 3HC, here is a list:

One of my sonias wasn't altered right too! I wonder if they weren't as careful when running out of fabric? I'm going to have to sell or trade one of my sonia's too. I should probably do both, but I'm ok with one cupsize too small and selling/trading a 50L band isn't happening. Unfortunately mine's a 55J and I need a 55L.
Ugh. The fabric shortage might have been the issue. The Garden of Eden (also fabric shortage) arrived as an unaltered plunge rather than a 3HC. Ugh. Ugh.

It is lovely. Moving back to trying wired bras? I hope everything works out!
