    The cups fit fine, with slight quadding or gapping dependent on movement. The band is a tiny bit tight (my snug ub is 67, stretched band is 67) but fine.. My only remark is that the gore is too narrow, as comexim is known for their narrow gores.

    Fits

    After my success with my Comexim direct order, I decided to branch out and order a few other fits other than the Padded Plunge. I haven't found much info comparing the fit of the Padded Plunge to the 3HC, but I reached out to Breakout Bras and asked them if I should size up or down since I am between sizes 60G and 60H. They recommended sizing down to 60G and said that the depth is comparable in the two cuts, but the open cup could accommodate any additional fullness. Other wearers seem to indicate that they wear their normal size in both cups. ... However, since Breakout Bras only had the 60H in stock, I decided just to try that size and see how it went.

    I was really surprised when I received this bra to find that it runs extremely shallow. The shape of the bra is not what I expected from a 3HC, which I thought would be a very rounded cup shape. In reality, this bra is very flat and shallow. It lacks immediate projection at the wire and projection at the center of the cup. The upper cup closes back in very slightly, just enough to minimize gapping. It is not as open or as rounded as most open cup bras. I recently reviewed the Masquerade Angie, which I commented is a very shallow 3HC . . . this one is even shallower in cup depth!

    At first, I thought that the minimizing effect of the cups could be due to a band that's too tight and cups that are too large. Before measuring the bra, I tried it on with an extender as well, but the extender did not improve the flat appearance of the cups. I confirmed that the band measurement of my bra is exactly the same of all of my other 60 band Comexims (except the Celebration, which came in 2-3 cm smaller than normal). When I am fully scooped into the bra, it fits my larger side very well, and fits my smaller side ok as well. It would look better on me with the cup height reduced 1.5-2 cm, but overall this is the correct cup size for me. The wires fit perfectly, and I really struggle with wires of 60G in all the styles I've tried.

    Yes, it fits, but I hate the shape it gives me. If I were to try a 3HC style again, I would ask for reduced cups and maybe 2 cm total increase in depth. The straps on this style are closer set than on the Padded Plunge because the cup height is already shorter, but I'd ask for them to be moved in a bit further. I do get a bit of gapping when I move, but this is attributed to the tall cups and wide straps.

    After browsing the photo gallery for 3HC styles, I am thoroughly perplexed. Some users' bras fit just like mine did, with a flattened minimized effect but with no fit issues from the cup being a size too small. Others seem to get a very rounded and full appearance in this bra, but when I tried this on with silicone inserts, it just made the cup too small but still oddly shaped. I suspect that this style suits the FOT ladies better, especially ones who don't need much immediate projection at the wire.

    The styling of this bra is almost identical to the Basic Plunge. However, this particular bra has a plain black elastic strap compared to the textured elastic on my Padded Plunge, which is probably due to manufacturing batch differences as I got this one through Breakout Bras. The fabric on both is the same light satin, and the upper cup trim is the same narrow lace. The simple bows are a little bit different between the two bras, but overall they are very much sisters.

    • Hey, I have seen this today, if your 3HC is an altered version, then it may help: https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/6ltfdw/discussion_comexim_standard_3hc_vs_custom_3hc/

      Anyway, I don't think the Comexim measurements on Bratabase are good references. Because according to this post, there can be a huge difference for the same labeled bra.

    • Agreed, I didn’t find the measurements on Bratabase to be reliable for me in determining Comexim measurements (except for the band), so I just ordered styles to try and asked Breakout Bras for advice. But sometimes they are wrong too.

      I have the same problem with Ewa in my size and it’s really impossible to determine the right size based on measurements here, unfortunately.

      It seems that sewing has a lot to do with the 3HC shape, and I think that’s probably why I also notice slightly different fits in the padded plunge even when measurements are identical. The sewn cups just don’t have the same consistency as a molded foam one.

      I reached out to Joanna to ask her if she thinks requesting additional depth and shortened cups will help, or if the shape of the bra is really not suited to me. This is a good example of how I used to think I was shallow, but bras with truly shallow cup shapes NEVER fit me because I need immediate projection.

    Hasn't set fit

    I ordered from Breakout Bras so the sewn-in size tag says 28G. I think this is a 60H in Comexim's sizing based on the cup depth measurements, but if I'm wrong please let me know and I will gladly correct it.

    My underbust is about 29. I typically wear 30F/FF. Soft tissue, projected, close-set, too much outer fullness for Cleo Marcie and others. A constant issue is rib pain and underwires slipping down.

    This bra is definitely at least a cup size too small. I thought I was sizing up enough based on advice from a customer service rep, but that is definitely not the case! I can tell you that this feels like a solid 28 band but that's about all I can weigh in on, LOL.
