Bra fitting help » Readjusting cup every few minutes!
Anna Pardal For Comexim » Lady Grey Classic Plunge » 30H 30:11
Issue resolved
Selling it so I can try another size!
Original problem
Seems to feel great when I put it on- but a few minutes later I feel pressure all over the cups, the wire has slipped out of my IMF, there is slight wrinkling at the apex of the cup, and I find myself having to readjust, re-swoop and scoop, and tug at it. Grrr. What is the problem here? Is it too small?

helpfulBefore I say anything else... could you confirm a measurement? is the band really a full 28 inches UNstretched?

helpfulYou look center-full and close set. Comexim is, relatively, center shallow. Do you see wire marks along the gore and just under one of both of your breasts? My hypothesis: the cup is too center-shallow in addition to one size small. Sizing up and asking for a narrowed gore may help....

Comexim will both overlap and narrow the gore which can help alot. If that doesn't provide enough space, Gorsenia unlined bras have excellent center projection. Gorsenia padded half cups have more center projection than Comexim, but they do not alter their bras.
If you can tolerate a wider gore and hard wires, Panache Floris and Jasmine may work for you. They have great center projection, but a wider gore. So, they are good for center full, but not necessarily center-full + close-set. And, If you don't have some padding on your ribs, the wires can really bite.
Curvy Kate Ellace may be an option, too. It may be able to accommodate your taller roots, has a softer wire, and great center projection. The gore will be .1" narrower than Panache.

Thanks ever so much- your advice is so great. Seriously- thanks for taking the time to write all this out!

helpfulYes, it doesn't fit if you're tugging and tweaking all day. You do say it cuts into breast tissue on the sides - if it fits it won't do that. May be too shallow at the wire and your breasts are pushing the wire out of your IMF as they settle into the bra. The cup looks a little wide as well - should outline your breast tissue.

helpfulIt looks like it fits in the photos but we all know how misleading that can be. How does the band feel? I've found that when the band isn't as supportive as it should be that I'm having to swoop n scoop throughout the day to get the girls back in the cups.

helpfulYou look like you have firm tissue (perhaps augmented?). That means that you aren't going to get the same telltale quadding softer boobs get, especially on such an open, deeply plunging cup. Looking at your perimeter measurements in comparison with the cup depth I would definitely advise you to size up at least one cup. Since your roots are tall and you need wider wires anyway (cup cutting in at the sides), sizing up will not cause problems with wider wires and taller cups.

This is awesome advice! Thank you. Yes, I think I am center full. Didn't know Comexim wasn't super accommodating for that. What bras are better?
