Cymbidium

Look:
I love it. It's a beautiful bra without being too girly or embellished. I personally prefer richer/more saturated colors over pastels, so this is right up my alley. The seams on this bra are very noticable under a shirt, but this is may be due to the cup being too small causing the seams to be pushed out right at my apex and thus positioned in a very prominent area.


Fit:
I am waiting on a larger size to arrive (just shipped yesterday) , so I am not sure on the final fit for this bra. There is also an issue with the quality (mentioned later) which prevents me from ... being to sure on the fit of the cups. It is maybe a cup or 2 too small on my larger breast, but I'm new to all of this so I am not sure. The band is is significantly firmer than the basic in beige, which might be due to the black dye(?). I measure 24.5 snug and this is decent or bordering on too big. It feels nice and light. I love the stretch in the band and straps; it makes it feel like you're wearing the bra and not vice versa.

Quality:
I wonder if the bravantgarde is just somewhat poor in quality because like gogobee I had some issues. If I measure along the top of the cup from the strap to the gore, there is a difference of about 1/2 an inch between the two cups (big difference for me!). I noticed this because the larger cup is on my smaller breast/side causing it to gape more than it should - or maybe it shouldn't gape at all. It was the wrong size and I had already ordered a larger size anyways, so I am contemplating whether I should notify them/complain.


Just some side notes:
The material almost sounded like it made a rustling sound. I don't think you would hear it when you move and definitely not underclothing, but I jus thought that was interesting.

I can have super sensitive skin to the point where bob-length hair makes my neck red and itchy. The inside material does not seem like it would irritate my skin nor does it appear as if there are any pointy or unfinished areas that could cause harm.

Thanks for reading! I hope my reviews aren't averaging on too long. 😘

I am fairly new to properly fitting bras. I measure ~24.5 snug, ~23 BTT, and ~32 overbust. I have only ever owned a Freya deco soft cup in 30D, which which was really the wrong size and gaped at the top, and a 28F (28:7) Freya strapless, which is a decent fit but I belive the cups are too wide and the band is extremely firm. Nothing else has fit nearly as well as the deco strapless. I think that is due to the rounded top of the cup, which tend to fit better.

I decided to order from Wellfitting.com because as I ... understand their 26/55 bands are returnable while Comexim's are not. It took about 2 weeks for the bra to be made/shipped and another week for the package to reach me. The packaging didn't seem that damaged, just a bit dirty and worn at the corners of the box. Both of the bras I ordered were in great condition. Upon first seeing them I thought they looked just a bit cheaper than I expected. But once I put them on they felt amazing!

Pros:
The basic beige is a 26H (26:8). I loved the shape it gave: much more projected and inward-pointing than the Freya's slightly squashed down and outward-pointing look. Compared to the Freya strapless it felt so light and non-constricting, like the bra would move easily with you and mold to your shape rather than holding you strictly in place (very important to me). I loved the shape it gave: much more projected, rounded, and inward-pointing than the Freya's slightly squashed down and outward-pointing look. There was no quadboobing, uncomfortable wires, and the strap placement was great. The band seemed very stretchy, which was a relief since after the Freya is hooked it feels as if the slight stretch it can achieve is very difficult to get. It is not as shiny as some of the pictures on here make it look. I don't think I am a true 26 band so I can't be sure, but I beleive it runs true to size since it stretched fairly easily to 27''.

Cons:
It did not fit. I suspect it was 1/2 a cup to 1 cup too small, but I ordered the next two sizes up just to be sure my inexperience would not cause me to be incorrect. The problems were that gore did not tack, there was too much booby near my armpit outside of the cup, and too much tissue not enclosed by the top of the cup. It might be due to the too-small cups causing the seams to be placed wrong, but the seams were very prominent under a shirt. Swoop and scoop might not stay in place with 26 band too well, but I can't tell since it does not all fit inside. If you divide the bra cup into four quadrants, the lower outer quadrant would have a small area (maybe 1\2 a little finger) that was not filled.

Where some advice would be helpful is regarding the different fit on my breasts. On my larger one it seemed just a bit small and like a cup size up would be perfect. On my smaller breast when I swooped and scooped my nipple was almost falling out. This did not happen on my larger breast even though more tissue was outside of the cup and clearly had more trouble fitting inside. Despite not all of me fitting in the cup it still gaped ate the top a bit with the little booby. What would cause these differences (mainly the gaping)? Would it be a too-loose band or different shaped breasteses causing this? Do you believe a cup size up would aggrevate the gaping?

THIS WAS LONG
Thank you for reading and any help. I really want this to work, and I have not found a better alternative to comexim

This is my first properly fitting bra, and the only one that fits besides Comexim. I have owned this bra for 2 years in both colors. Despite my underbust measuring 24.5 inches snugly and this being a 28, it stays up just fine. The reason for this is the firmness of the band; after 2 years it is quite difficult to stretch it to 27 inches. I failed to measure it when new, but it feels pretty much the same to me. The cups, gore, and straps are all too wide(set) causing me to feel just a bit constricted and not as free/mobile as I would ... prefer, but I do not mind as they are all to a minor degree. The majority of the time I do not notice any of the issues. What I really enjoy is the seamlessness of it and its invisibility under clothing. Manages to have barely any to no gaping on my smaller side.

It's strapless and seamless so that is why I will still repurchase it after finding Comexim.

Overall it is what companies seem to miss: no poking, no hurting, just support from a proper fit and what you would expect of a bra along with a pretty exterior. YAY! I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE the flexibility and stretchiness of it.

Longer review for the newer people!

Me: snug underbust: 24.5, BTTunder bust 23.2, leaning overbust: 32.75. I believe I am around a 28F in UK sizes, but a 28 bands usually cause wires to be too wide and poke my armpits so this complicates determining the correct fit.
Through Wellfitting.com the bra took almost 4 weeks to make and another ... 1-2 to arrive.

Look: Very pretty for being a basic nude bra. It is not quite as yellow as a lot of nudes, so it matches my skin tone well. The fabric used for the construction of the cups actually seems to appear slightly shimmery at certain angles -- me likey. It also seems to be somewhat of a noisy fabric. For example, if you were to rub your hand on it, it would make a bit more noise than the average cloth. This does not bother me at all and many might not even notice it, but if this just happens to be a special pet peeve of yours, you may not enjoy the bra 😢. The bow on the gore is very nice and almost oversized (😍 I want it even bigger) with a small pearl on the center. Under shirts the seams to the top piece of the cups is fairly visible, especially the lacey bit. The lining is great, feels breathable but still takes care of headlights. The lift is between the pink and green shape for me, which is perfect, with forward projection.

Fit/Comfort: Very comfortable! Overall is lightweight and usually unnoticeable (don’t feel the wires!) while being supportive. After switching to a more proper size from bras that were much too small, I felt like they just had too much fabric, but this actually feels like it is really my size! The straps are a bit too wide set. Not a big issue, but it causes the cup on my smaller side – already too small for the cup — to be pushed in and pucker a bit. The gore doesn’t tack, which doesn't bother me (a size up is clearly too large and still doesn’t tack). The fabric is nice; I wouldn’t say that it feels too special, though. The band is just a little too large (24/50 next time) but stays in place decently. For the first few wears – all good now – I felt something poking me from the band near the hooks. I don’t know what it was, but it felt like something was pricking me, which was very uncomfortable for my sensitive skin. The wires are still about a centimeter too wide for me, although not to a bothersome extent.

So no fit check needed. With my band size this is the best I’ll get, which is actually pretty amazing!😊
