After seeing Zoe from Weirdly Shaped and Well Photographed in this bra (and the longlines), I just KNEW I had to try it. I have quite a few fitting challenges and in combination with my size, I just don't have many options out there. I wasn't sure a demi cut would work for me but everything is worth a try since I am so limited.

I have one previous experience with Wellfitting long ago when they first came around. I had actually purchased a bra from them through Amazon back then! I wanted to be sure to get the sizing right on this one so I emailed them some ... photos of me in my other Comexim bras, asked their thoughts on size, and asked if I could get the bra with alterations. I quickly had a response that suggested I keep with my usual Comexim size like in the photos (65M) and that they could lower the gore for me but could not reduce the cup as it is essentially already reduced. She was even kind enough to send a photo showing a demi cut sitting over one of the plunge cuts to show the height difference. I ordered the bra and a day or two later I had another email asking when I had purchased my Comexims from my photos, just to be sure they got the sizing right. Shortly after that, I had another response that said they had conferred with the bra designers and decided to make me a 65M with a lowered gore and a deeper cut at the armpits because in my original email I mentioned I have a serious problem with bras rubbing me raw there. I was SO ecstatic and really appreciated their customer service! I thought they were going pretty above and beyond! Two weeks later I had another email that the bra had shipped.

I waited a full month after it had shipped before I contacted them to let them know it hadn't arrived. I am cursed to have every package sit for weeks in customs it seems so I just figured thats where this one was too. I let them know that I understand theres nothing they can do but that i wanted to let them know just in case. They responded back almost immediately saying how sorry they were, that every package they shipped out that day went missing, and that they hadnt been aware mine was involved as well. They said they would make me another one and get it shipped out to me again but that it would still take the 2 weeks production time again. I said okay and went ahead and added another bra on to my order (Abracadabra LL) because it didnt make sense to have them ship separately.

About a week later, I got a USPS tracking update text. I was very confused as I knew I had nothing on the way and certainly hadn't signed up for any text alerts recently. Well I should have known! 5 weeks later this bra was finally scanned into the US through Flushing, NY! I was pretty much in shock. I definitely didn't think this one was going to ever appear! But this time USPS really did me a solid and got it right to me after that! 2 days from NY to Cali! Last time this happened, that same trip took like 2 weeks! When I finally got this package, it looked like it was in perfect condition too! Usually they are SO beat up when customs and USPS takes my things hostage haha.

I had to have a stare down with the bra for awhile. Challenge it not to fit me after all this time https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> I thought it wasn't going to work for me. It has 3 vertical panels and the side panels are HUGE. I tried an EM PL Wrozs before with a similarly sized panel over by the sideboob area and I just don't have enough boob over there for that construction. But when I finally put it on, HEAVEN! It hugs my boobies beautifully, although a bit too tight! I always get some boobie bubbling over the top of my bras but without quadding. I am okay with that. This one has a lot of bubble and a bit of quadding too! But it isn't enough that I can't keep it! I am in love with this style! Wellfitting said it was good for FOB boobies. I don't know much about the shapes of boobs, but I am sure I would call myself full all over haha. This is the first time I've really been able to sit all the way down into the bottom though! I love how open it is down there! But my fullness doesn't end there so it cuts into my tissue more than I'd like up top. I think I have been needing to size up for awhile and just haven't wanted to face the music yet! Too bad I have quite a few things on order right now o.O The deeper cut at the arm is perfect! I don't feel a thing! That NEVER happens! But the gore measures 3" and my lowered gores have very consistently been 2.75" in this size. I am bummed about it as it does sit on my tissue just a touch. But because its small it floats a bit and it doesn't cause me any pain. The wires were pretty perfect besides at the gore. The uplift, shape, and cleavage is beautiful! And it gives me just the perfect little separation between them so I don't have to have baby butt cleavage (not going to lie, I usually DO want baby butt cleavage though lol). My boobs had a perky and super rounded shape in a semi loose tshirt. I didn't try a tight t but I hope the bit of quad doesn't show! The only con is that the straps are too wide for me. I should have asked for them to be moved in but they aren't unbearable by any means.

Here is the real negative and quite a big one in my opinion. The work is VERY sloppy! The inside is black lining. However there are tons of areas where the fabric from the cups is more than peeking through. Like it didn't all get cut off all the way in multiple areas. It is pulling and shredding all over and looks very sloppy. None of my other bras have ever come out like this so I was really surprised. I also notice that the fabric on the cups bunches, wrinkles, and folds up a lot. I don't know if its because it is the satiny material or if it is because they did the special deeper cut at the armpit. Overall, I love the fit of the bra and think it is beautiful but I am very disappointed in its quality.

Oh my god. This thing is TINY! 30M - not so much. I run about a 30HH-JJ in Freya/Panache/Cleo and my poor boobs were completely overflowing. So please take into account that for someone whose proper size this is, the bra may well fit beautifully, it just clearly is NOT mine!

The upside is that it's gorgeous - silky black cups with a petite, multi-colored flower print that's beautiful. The cups are exactly the shape I need - a solid, supportive half cup. The line down the middle shows a little bit under thin clothing.

The band is relatively firm, I closed it on the 2nd of 4 ... clasps, but the underwire is miserable. Sank deep into skin on the sides and most of the front. Painful, red marks. Not the norm for me.

Straps are wide-set for my very narrow shoulders. Gogobee warned me that the customer service on her custom order was shaky enough that she wasn't sure if the straps were narrowed, and I will confirm that they are not.

I'm posting pics, but in all fairness, they're not representative of my size when I received the bra. I've now increased 1-2 cups and about 1 back size for an average of 32HH-J (hormones).

I'm disappointed, because it's a beautiful bra, rare to find such a gorgeous, lightly padded half-cup near my size, but realistically I'd say this fit more like a 30GG-H, or even a 28H-HH since the band is quite firm.

I'll be putting this up for resale soon on bratabase, so PM me if you're interested.

**I'd like to preface this review with my (likely well known, sorry im passionate lol) disdain for Wellfitting. I will never give them my business again. I don't really want to keep shoving it down all your throats though. So if you are curious, please refer to my recent adventure entitled 'Why I will never give Wellfitting my money again...' (not sure how to link to it on here)**

The Abracadabra longline has been calling my name since I first saw it on Weirdly Shaped and Well Photographed. With my size and many ridiculous bra fitting needs, I am extremely limited in bra choices. It is pretty ... much Polish or nothing for me. I figured that would mean longlines were forever out of the question now! Until this beautiful piece of work! Seeing it on someone with bigger boobies than me gave me lots of hope! I could finally have one too! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

I'll be honest, the price of this truly hurt me inside to order lol. It really blows my mind that Wellfitting can charge $89 for one of their exclusive longlines when Comexim is putting beautiful ones out on their own site for HALF the price! But what better encouragement than a discount code right?! Even if it was just 10% off, it was enough to let me trick myself into thinking I was getting a deal. I'm sure my fellow bra freaks can understand https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

It took a little over 3 weeks production time which I think was a little excessive for just one bra and at that price point. But I totally understand Comexim is probably SO busy since they produce for Wellfitting, Anna Pardal, and they have multiple distributors all over the world now. (Side note: I honestly wonder how they do it!) And despite my hatred for Wellfitting, I absolutely adore Anna of Comexim and how much she truly cares! I couldn't be mad about that part! Oddly enough, by the time I finally received the Wellfitting email that my packaged had shipped, it had already checked into the US! Amazing speed considering how long some of my past packages have taken in the past!

I ordered this bra with my usual alterations: reduced cup and lowered gore. This time I wrote in 'extra low gore' instead of lowered gore. I was hoping that 'extra' would be noticed and might make a bit more of a difference for me than the usual lowered gore. I am very close set and also boney in the sternum area so I tend to have nothing but issues there. When I opened the package up, the cups still seemed a bit tall but the gore seemed really low so I knew it must have actually received what I asked for (my most recent bra before this one came in with NO alterations and had to be sent back, but that is another story).

Abracadabra LL is, as I expected, BEYOND gorgeous in person! The bra is made of a shiny lavender fabric with white as an accent color. The fabric along the cups and band (up to the wings) is covered with what is probably white lace but because I am definitely not a fabric connoisseur I thought of it more as a mesh looking material lol https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> The overlay does have white lace floral patterns featured throughout as well and the lace continues up over the top edge of the cup a bit. The back panel of the the bra is just the shiny lavender fabric with a white clasp area and the white strap material which continues right along the top edge. It is so beautiful but I fear I would snag the lace on everything!

When I tried the bra on, I placed it on the first set of hooks (2 x 6) and it just sat loosely against me and didn't hug me at all. It was like when I used to stupidly wear 34 bands and they always had gaping everywhere even though the cups were perfect for my boobs! I have been losing some weight recently and think I need to start ordering 28s. I know some people can wear a band or even 2 up and be fine, but I see serious fit issues by just being slightly off. Am I the only one?! Anyways I switched to the second set and adjusted the straps almost all the way down before it finally hugged me perfectly. This proved what I had already figured though, it is definitely a bit too small. The gore doesn't tack but it is an amazing height for me. I did notice the wires actually bow out from my body a bit in the front though. They don't really sit against me very well and they are sort of below my IMF as well. I'm sure they are pushed down by my need for more projection. They are too wide for me too, but unfortunately, that is my experience with all my bras right now. I still think the cups are a bit too tall also. I could pinch the fabric at the top where it is about to meet the straps like with any unaltered Comexim I've tried. But it is not nearly as bad! So besides being a little obnoxious for my high set breasts, I can live with that.

My biggest issues were: #1 the armpit area! It comes up SO high there on me which causes me to get rubbed raw after awhile. #2 the straps material! I had to crank them pretty much all the way down. Guess how long that took me? A good 15 minutes and that is with the bra OFF! They have a raised pattern along the edges which I guess is great for them not slipping out of your chosen length. But OMG they are impossible! I seriously cannot even get them to loosen up a tiny bit now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> and worst of all #3 the straps AGAIN! They are much too wide for my narrow and sloped shoulders. If I put them where they want to go, they are about to fall off of me! It is very uncomfortable and just wearing it for a few hours drove me absolutely bonkers.

Sadly, this one is going up for sale https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I mostly like this bra. I can wear it all day without feeling like I have to fidget with it to keep it in place or keep it from poking. It hides under a t-shirt if I wear a tank top underneath.
