This bra is listed under the category bralettes on Comexim's site, which I found a bit surprising at the beginning because it's underwired and the cups are padded. However, fit-wise this makes sense because the fit is much less structured than Comexim's usual bras. I think this is because of the very stretchy mesh that is placed on top of the cups, and to which the straps attach - this gives less lift from the straps - although we know most lift comes from the band https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Well, the band also feels on the stretchy side, so it also provides only a ... softer lift.
I was curious about the gore, if it will work in a larger size, and overall I'd say that it does. It doesn't feel flimsy and the wires don't feel like they sit differently because of it. However, I've only tried the bra on and haven't worn it for a longer time to be able to judge.
Regarding the construction, the cups are the Comexim plunge cut. There is this layer of soft stretchy mesh on top of the cups, which is only attached to them at the wire and the outside of the strap. The same mesh covers the band, which also has a second layer of a different but still stretchy mesh on the inside. The design is overall really beautiful and I like the velvety ribbon on the edge of the cups, as well as the mesh. I got it with the alteration of having a shorter wing under the arm (the wing height is 11cm), which is great for short roots.
About sizing, this bra runs smaller than usual for this size, so unfortunately it's too small for me. I also find the Comexim plunge cut to be too shallow for me, so I'll be listing the bra.
