The cup width is about the same as the 3HC 55HHs, but the cups are more projected. This fits like the padded plunge.

Alterations: reduced cups, reduced gore, straps moved in, cookie pockets. As always, not quite sure if they were done? But I think so, since the cup height is about the same as an unaltered 60H that I tried recently.
Unfortunately, the apex of this is too high on my smaller side so it kind of caves in 😂. I'd need to add a full pad, not just a little cookie. 55HH with reduced cups was a better fit (a smidge too small in volume, but not too uncomfortable) in terms of cup height.
Update: I think I'm in between sizes, and my ideal bra would be a 55J with extra reduced cups or a 55HH with extra depth.

Ordered this as a 3HC, but got a plunge instead. The cup height is similar to a previously owned 55J Rozalia, which makes me wonder if that one actually had reduced cups.
Update: I asked Comexim if I could have a coupon code to reorder as a 3HC. They told me to just order and they would refund the cost of the bra (edit: ended up being a partial refund, once the order was shipped)

Ordered with cookie pockets and 1cm extra depth at the wire. As always, unsure if extra depth was added and if I should even bother asking. This does fit slightly better than my unaltered 55J Basic (a little more closed than my new Ardea though)—still more on the cleavage fit side, but not uncomfortable.
Update: I do feel a little squished as the day goes on sometimes, especially on larger days. The altered plunges have been working out better. Will probably list all my 3HCs someday.

I love this. Avocado cups are slightly too tall for me, so I usually have some strap gap and wrinkling on the top section. But all the extra straps create enough tension that this fits perfectly, even on my smaller side.
I got the matching XS full briefs, which are high rise (but not quite high waisted) with a comfy/relaxed fit. They're stretchier than Comexim XS/EM 34/Katherine Hamilton 6.

I recommend sizing up in the band. Wide and shallow cups, firm wires. Fits like a 26F/28E.
This was fine in the band, but a little too small in the cups for me (26F/FF, 28E/F). I don't think I'd be comfortable in a 28FF though because of the wide/firm wires.

True to size band, but the cups run small. Fits like a 26F. The cups are about 12cm x 12cm measured flat.
I expected a 26FF to fit with some wrinkling on my smaller side, but there's a tiny bit of quadding instead. It's not the worst fit, but it makes the band feel tighter. Ordering a 26G next, might try 26GG if that doesn't work out.
Edit: The 26GG came first. Cup volume is ok, but they're basically in my armpits. If the 26G is also too tall, then maybe I'll just stick with the Wren.

This band was a lot stretchier than my two Misia styles. NF doesn't seem to suit me since it's too closed or needs a more even/FOT shape? Not really sure. Sticking with the HCN cut, might try the HC in the future.

The band felt pretty firm at first, but relaxed after wearing it the first time. I'm new to properly fitting bands, so can't say if it's stretchy enough to merit sizing down.
The wires slide up during the day - I guess it's because the cups aren't projected enough and the band isn't quite tight enough. I tried a 28F, but it was slightly too large - though it may have been stretched out since the band was noticeably looser.
Edit: So five months into ABTF journey - kind of doesn't fit, but good enough to keep wearing until I find a good replacement.
