Original problem
Wires too tall, a bit pointy for my likes, straps too wide for my shoulders.

helpfulnot sure there's much in that size thats narrower in the shoulders, thats a constant problem. some people actually cut and sew to move the straps towards the center more.
You might actually be able to pull some more of your arm pit flesh in to the bra so it doesnt get pinched by the wings? look for scoop-and-swoop videos to explain it better, but it might help.
It looks better than the Maya, tho

I added a new photo after I swooped and scooped a little better. I wouldn't say it's too anything just not quite what I want maybe.

Have you tried any ewa michalak bras yet?
-
I haven't yet, I've read a bit about ordering from them and it being a bit of a nightmare. From what I've been seeing polish brands are probably the direction I need to look.

I think comexim are more of a nightmare than ewa michalak, tho wide-set straps are a common issue
-
Comexim is easy peasy. Ewa is a nightmare. She will not move in her straps and they are always too wide set. Comexim is narrower in the wires and will make any alteration you want and is cheaper too, because they don't charge through the nose for shipping and extra fees.

yeah, i think what I meant was that comexim has been having a lot of errors on orders recently, and in larger sizes, you have to customize everything to get a good fit because they dont scale properly
Ewa michalak has the strap width problem in a big way. but other than that, tend to fit better as is in larger cup sizes than comexim does - I think the most common comexim customizations are moving the straps in (to fix the strap issue which is common to both) and shortening the cups, which is to fix a fit problem unique to comexim, that they make the cups get taller at the same time they get bigger, which makes them taller than any human boobs
ewa michalak does not do customizations and will react negatively to anyone saying the straps are too wide-set
But i've seen more than one person say they didnt get the customizations they ordered from comexim, and recently someone on fb posted an order where, on one bra, the hooks and loops were not the same size at all
