The pink Lily fits pretty much the same as my other 32FF Lily in the parrot print, which is to say it doesn't. This one seems to be older than the parrot one, though, and the age definitely shows in the fabric and band stretchiness.

The band runs tight on this model. I can only stretch it to 31 inches without damaging it, so it's more like a 65/30 band.
I really wanted this bra to work, but I have to admit now that it's just not close enough. In fact, I'm now doubting whether any @Comexim bras will fit me, which is a shame because I thought this brand would be everything I wanted: pretty designs; the perfect amount of padding; and soft, non-painful wires.
When I first got it, the gore didn't tack at all, and the cups gaped. Bending the gore slightly towards me helped with both of these problems. ... The gore now lightly touches, and the slight gaping in the cups is acceptable.
Now for the unfixable problems.
These cups are simply too tall on my high-set breasts to be a half-cup. As someone pointed out in my fit check, it might as well be a plunge. I would be okay with this, but the fact that the bra doesn't fit as designed comes with some other problems.
As with most bras I try, the sides come up way too high, which means the wires yet again poke me under my armpits. I'm starting to get frustrated that this happens with nearly every bra I try, but for some reason I didn't anticipate it being an issue with Comexim. *sigh*
A few people have suggested reduced cups, and I really want to try this, but with the challenge of the language barrier and what I've heard about the unreliability of Polish post makes me reluctant. (By the way, if anyone has any reduced cup Comexim bras in this size range that they want to get rid of, my inbox is open.)
As for the appearance, it is a very pretty bra, and although I have to admit the lace pattern isn't my favorite, it is growing on me. The seafoam green color is beautiful.

This isn’t my size and never was, and I never really wore it, so I can’t write a great review. However, it does seem to be quite well made, higher quality than I’d expect from VS, and the embroidery is beautiful.

(Purple colorway)
Fit pretty well when I was this size and even a little smaller. Because this shape is made with bottom fullness in mind, it was easy to pretend it still fit as I lost volume since the lace would still lay flat. I ended up selling it when it got unwearably big, but now I wish I had hung on to it as I'm pregnant again and have almost nothing in this size.

Seems to run a bit large in the cups. Band runs a little tight like most EMs.
This is my first time trying the Bm cut, or any unlined EM. It was too big when I first got it, but being pregnant I soon grew into it. The top section of lace is stretchy and should be forgiving as my breasts continue to grow, but I will probably need an extender soon - I'm down to the loosest of the four sets of hooks.
The wires are wonderfully narrow and conform almost perfectly to my root.
I love this color! I can't resist brightly colored lace like this. The white bows are a nice touch.
The only downside I can see is that it seems very delicate. It looks like it would be really easy to accidentally rip or pull the lace, and it looks a bit "fuzzy" close up already. It was used when I got it, though.

This is the size Ewa’s calculator gives me (as opposed to the 30Hish range I’ve been getting from other calculators lately) and I have to admit it’s pretty spot on for this bra, at least. I’ve found that the Bm cut is very flexible for me, and I can wear a couple sizes smaller than I technically measure thanks to that stretch lace at the top. I do not think I could do 70FF in, say, Pl, based on my experience with one in 70G.
I love the color, and I love that it’s a nursing bra. It would be nice if the clips somehow blended in more with the overall color scheme, but obviously I don’t expect Ewa to keep an unlimited number of colors of nursing clips on the off chance someone wants to order one, lol.

I love Cleo's bright yellow and randomly decided I just needed to have a yellow Marcie one day. They were sold out everywhere since it's such an old colorway, but I did find this one on Bratabase. I knew it would be too small soon when I got it (thanks pregnancy!) but I'm sure I'll eventually shrink back down to fit in it. I guess I'll have to update the review when I do.
Edit- over a year later, I’ve finally lost enough weight to fit in it. Still love the bright yellow and the very round shape. I have been unable to wear my 30FF beige Marcie because of ridiculous in-cup quadding that is visible even under a shirt. This Marcie, despite being smaller, does not noticeably have this problem for me.

See my review of the same bra in 28FF here:
https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnb6e/ 28FF
https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnb6f/ 28GG
I initially thought 28G would be the size I would keep. I wore it around the house for a while and decided the band was a bit too tight. So I put on an extender... and the cups started gaping. 28FF it is, then.

I have now tried 4 different sizes of this bra at different points in my post-pregnancy weight loss. None have fit me until now. I measure at 28G these days, but I figured based on my past experiences with other sizes that I'd need to go one cup down because of my short roots and lack of upper fullness if I wanted to avoid the empty space I usually get at the top of the cup.
The band is very snug around my 27.5 inch underbust, but not uncomfortably so. The cups are tight to the point that I might actually be able to wear a 28G ... after all, but the 28FF fits well enough that it probably isn't worth buying a brand new, full price one just to try.
To give some context to the activity I bought the bra for, my "sport" of choice is dance gaming (so like Dance Dance Revolution type stuff). I didn't notice any bounce at all while playing, even during the jump-heavy parts, so I would call this a success. (As an added bonus, the pink spot colorway I got actually kinda matches the aesthetic of older DDR machines.)
After wearing it for a few hours of play, I do notice some upper back pain. I'm not sure why this is - it happened with the other sizes I tried when I walked around in them, and I assumed it was because I used the j-hook in the back to try to lessen the empty space at the top, but I did not use it this time. Maybe I just need to loosen the straps, or I need more time to break it in.
As others have mentioned, the shape it gives under a shirt is nice, and the construction is high quality.

Cute print and soft, satiny fabric, but I just couldn't get it to work. The wires were always sliding down my ribcage because my immediate projection pushed them down. When I pulled the bra up, not only would it not stay, but the cups gaped at the strap. Always happens to me with Comexim plunges, took me way too long to accept they were never going to fit.
