Comexim » Ingrid Plunge Bra (289) » 60M 28:13
Issue resolved
Thank you for your assistance, I'll try 60N with reduced cups and higher gore next time. I'll also try sister size with bigger band.
Original problem
Is the cup too small for me or just the wrong shape? Center gore doesn't lie flat, bra squeezes breast,but there is an empty space near the straps.
Advise me please what should I try next - size 60N,65L or maybe different type of bra?
I think that my breast is close-set, projected,with narrow roots, even(?) fullness.

helpfulIt does look to be slightly too small but it's possible that the next size up might also be too big.

I would also look at maybe getting the gore higher and the cups reduced ( To get rid of the emptiness near the straps) with your next order. I would try a 60N.Updated on February 23, 2015 Flag this

By reduced I assume you mean shortened? Is taller gores enough to stop that? Her boobs are completely climbing out of that bra. I keep thinking its also maybe too shallow in the center?
I've avoided trying any comexim simply because i assumed my boobs would also fall out of the middle, since they seem so big on massive cleavage

Yes by reduced technically shortened. It just removes some of the height to the cups. I do the same to bras I order from Comexim. Taller gores will help, as to me it looks like she is falling to the center, due what looks like soft tissue I definitely think the bra is too small.
I don't find Comexim so big on cleavage. I find they are a good daily plunge bra, at least for me.

I dont really have any use for plunge bras. I just want bras that keep my boobs apart from each other and off my belly lol

With my last fit request I have found that soft tissue + center full + plunges do not mix. We tend to fall to the center and our girls get to have a sweaty party all day long. I looked a lot like her with my Comexim basics. I do think that the Comexim wires are too soft for heavy center full breasts that push the wire out and it doesn't tack. But then again, I have given up on wires tacking on me personally.

dbmamaz And I am pretty much limited to plunge only due to the fact that my breasts are very close together. Not even a finger width in-between.
That is why I suggested that she order with a higher gore because she does have softer looking tissue. Who knows a cupsize up with the higher gore just might work :)

The band is too tight. The hooks are strained (pic 7) and it's digging in more than necessary.
A too tight band will pull the straps into your armpits as seen in the pictures, and it will 'steal' volume from the cups by pulling them wider (seen in pic 6+8). This is the volume you are missing.
Sizing up in the cup will give you a bra that's covering even more of your boobs and also move the straps even closer to your armpits.
Try the bra with an extender instead (extended by 3 hooks at least) and consider ordering a 65 band next time.

If you want to stick it out with Comexim (and I really recommend you do because the brand is amazing!), definitely order a standard padded plunge they offer (or find one online) with a higher gore and reduced cups. Having both of those options will create a ton of cup volume in the center, where your breasts seem to want to go. So instead of falling into space, they'll fall comfortably into the bra. I also recommend you size up at least one cup size. The reduced cups should also eliminate the gaping near the strap. If that still doesn't work, then I recommend looking for bras for boobs which are both narrow and short rooted. Evadne is a great resource, as she has both short and narrow roots, so take a look at her reviews and blog.

I think by 'empty space' she mostly means the cup is too tall - there is a lot of gapping on the top.
