UPDATE: I've concluded that this runs smaller and shallower overall than the Mimi. The cups are wrinkled (most likely permanently) partly because of those issues and partly because they were already wrinkled out of the box. http://i.imgur.com/BSbB5H5h.jpg
Also, the band is not quite as tight as I thought it was. It's a matter of figuring out which hook is easiest to do up first.
Initial review:
I got this because it looked to be the same cut as my Comexim Mimi HC/Demi.
The band is quite small even though I sister-sized up, and the fact that it's a longline with 5 rows of hooks compounds the tightness problem.
The cups seem ...slightly taller and shallower than the Mimi's. When I have it on, it gives a slight sensation of floating, possibly due to the front band. However, the fit is quite similar: the cups appear to accommodate my immediate projection and are nicely closed/short on top for my FOB boobs. I do get some quadding in the gore area, but I am pretty center-heavy and also currently experiencing some swelling, so it doesn't worry me.
The material is soft and comfortable. Read more 80 more words
Got this because I needed a nude and wanted an excuse to get another because they are so unparalleled for comfort and shape. This is the only plunge I can wear, and though my soft tissue would probably still do better in a higher gore, I certainly still need a plunge in my bradrobe. I don't need the narrow wires and would actually prefer them a touch wider, but it's fine.
I love it with a few caveats.
1. The seams are extremely prominent, although they cut inward (into the soft foam) instead of outward. I don't care too much, but if I did, it would def ruin ...this as a tshirt bra for me.
2. The band is incredibly tight and I'm not thrilled about its quality. This is a 38 band that stretches only to 36.5, largely due to the very firm elastic at its bottom. This digs in (even with an extender making the bra the correct length) because it's so much stronger than the powermesh-like material of the wings, which feels kind of gross and I don't love. The band is soooooo tight that it makes my boobs spill in the center if I take the extender off. Since I normally wear a 36 band I would be really nervous to order a 40 in Comexim, but apparently that's what I'd need. Read more 118 more words
