This one wasn't quite as perfect for me as I hoped - the wires are very slightly wider than those on my Anna Pardal bras. There's not much information out there on this bra, so I hope this is helpful!

• Lovely review! Abracadabra is one of those bras that I've always lusted after but could never afford (or justify the price of). It's a shame that the construction isn't top notch for that price! I've heard other complaints about the quality of Wellfitting's Comexim bras.

• bonjourhi I decided to buy the Abracadabra from Wellfitting since I had a discount code and it was an exclusive, but to be honest with you I probably wouldn't do it again. The Comexim items they sell are marked up in price quite a lot compared to what Comexim themselves charge. I think it's only worth buying from Wellfitting if you're not sure of your size - they're very easy to order from as far as navigating their site, and they have a generous 100 day return policy. The caveat to that is that for me to post a return to them from Australia is going to cost a significant chunk of what I paid for the bra itself. I elected to sell a too-small Basic here instead of returning it for that reason - I got more of my money back that way.

  I've ordered from Anna Pardal directly before and that was really easy since she speaks English, but I've never ordered direct from EM or Comexim before. My partner's done an EM order before (to buy me a present) and he said he didn't have any trouble, but the PayPal/shipping fees were a bit steep - on their site, postage to Australia is one of the more expensive options . EM also charge 23% value added tax (VAT) on their lingerie, the shipping and the PayPal fees, so it can be upwards of 100 AUD for one bra.

  There's an Australian store, Brava Lingerie, that sells a small amount of EM. The bras are a bit more than what EM charges, but shipping etc is way cheaper since it's domestic. It's also a lot easier and cheaper to post a return for the same reason. If you sign up to their newsletter, they give you a 10% discount code as well.

  I want to try ordering some of the new Comexim bras soon, so I'll write about that when I have the money. From what some of the American bratabasers have said it doesn't seem too hard, but I might have to get one of the Polish-speaking ladies here to help me.

  PetiteCollegiate Thanks! :) I've definitely seen it's not just me, which is the other reason I'm hesitant to recommend ordering even the exclusives from Wellfitting. I'd like to be able to support a small business, but I just don't think that for most people it's going to be worth the money.

• bonjourhi Oops, missed your last question. I've tried the S and CHP EM cuts. The S cut is more similar to the Comexim padded plunge cut. In my experience, the S cut gives very slightly more uplift, but it's a close call. both give very rounded shapes, but I feel like the S bra makes my boobs look a bit bigger and more in-your-face. I personally don't prefer it for this reason - also because Comexim wires are slightly narrower and the S is the tiniest bit too wide for me - but that's just how I feel. I've never tried a Comexim half cup, so I can't say how they'd compare to CHP.
