For some reason, the band on my Victoria seems to run extra tight. It's a 65/30 and it stretches to barely 26". I haven't had any feedback from Anna about this yet. The cup is also too small for me, especially on the larger side. It's beautiful and I think it will fit well in the right size. It's a great quality bra and just what I've been looking for, so I hope a 65J with a band that runs true to size will be an easy fix.

Since I wasn't sure where to put this info, here's a quick summary of the alterations it came with:

*3HC instead of 2HC
*Straps moved in 2cm (can't verify, but I think this was done)
*Eyelash lace removed from cup
*Overlapping gore (wasn't requested)
*4 rows of 3 hooks (wasn't requested)

A month has passed and my long-awaited Comexim order has finally arrived. Sadly, it doesn't fit :(

  This is beautiful! I love it without the eyelash lace--that was what deterred me from ordering this model, as I thought it may be irritating on my skin. I also love the navy with the cream bows :). Hope you can get one that fits!

• My recent order from Comexim also had very tight bands. I haven't had a chance to measure yet but I suspect they don't stretch close to 30. I ordered a 70 band previously and based on how it fit I went back to 65 bands for this order.

  klilly3 I thought the eyelash lace would be irritating, too (I apparently have sensory issues, lol). It's really soft and weightless, though. I didn't have any problem with the lace on the wings even though I thought for sure I'd feel it on my arms. I prefer the look without the lace on top by far.

  @amandafire Ugh, I'm so confused on band sizes. :(

• This is surprisingly gorgeous without the eyelash lace! :) Never would've thought of that. I've been looking at Victoria but I never actually realized that this one also has the ribbon at the top edge making it closed off. This means that I'd probably need to size up if I end up ordering one. So thanks for the review! :)

  That band is super weird indeed! These inconsistencies make bra shopping a bit difficult. :/ Hopefully your replacement will work better!

• The ribbon across the top of the cup: beautiful!!!

  I'm not a fan of eyelash lace either, and it would never have occurred to me to ask to have it removed. It's lovely to know the customer service extends to this kind of customisation.

• The band was really small in the beauty I got too. I ordered a 60 bc it was my sister size and in stock. It only stretches to a max 25. I need my bands between 23-25 inches thankfully, but I'd be mad if I was a 28 instead of a 24/26 band
