Bra fitting help » Too tall and too big? Should I go down a cup?
Comexim » Adore Plunge Bra (416) » 60M 28:13
Issue resolved
I have decided to keep this bra. The fit is actually okay and the gaping near the top of the cups isn't much of an issue. I emailed Anna of Comexim attaching the pictures I posted here and I got a reply but no evaluation of the fit yet. I think I shall ask again when I think of getting another Comexim bra.
Original problem
Based on my Comexim Arabella Pl I decided to go up in cup size for my next Comexim. However I was too overzealous and chose a 60M over a 60L.
At a cursory glance, to me it looks like the bra fits okay in the front and side views as well as when I'm wearing my thermal top. It also gives pretty good projection.
But from the pictures you can see that there is empty space near the top. The cups are also taller than I'm used to, which is pretty cool because I feel like I'm wearing chest armour. Nonetheless, I don't think the height bodes well for me. I can practically fit half my hand in the left cup and that's my bigger boob!
Unfortunately, mine is the only Adore bra on Bratabase as far as I can see. Guess no one else was enchanted by the tassel?
So I am asking, based on your experience, should I exchange the 60M for a 60L? Would that propel my breasts to the bra-fit of realms unknown? Or would the improvement be marginal and I would be better of settling?

helpfulIt would be useful to include measurements of both yourself and the bra in the fit request. This would give a good impression of cup size vs. boob size and we could give an estimation of the cup size you would need.
I don't feel able to make any suggestion based just on the pictures, in especially since the back view pictures are also missing.

I agree that the cups are too tall, especially from looking at the side view photo. Your roots might be average height or short. It's possible that exchanging it for a 60L will be better, but this also could be a shape incompatibility. How does it compare to your other Comexim bra? How does it compare to the bras that fit you? Even if you go one cup size down, it is possible that it might be too vertically oriented for you. If you find that bras that fit you tend to be more horizontally oriented, it might be a good idea to skip this style all together and find a Comexim style that caters to average height or short roots.

Yes, I think you are right on the shape incompatibility. Compared to my padded other bras (including the other Comexim one) which I am quadboobing desperately in, the cups on this one is certainly the highest. The funny thing is that the point where the strap and cup meet doesn't exceed my breast tissue when I'm wearing it. It's all so subtle!
Looking around now it seems that Comexim bras are "predisposed" to have tall cups so I think any future orders would have to involve a reduced cup dealio. This bra just might just be kept this one though; a little empty space is much more preferable than having no space at all. Also I don't think I have the strength to do returns/exhanges with customisations when it's so close to the holiday season.
Thank you for your suggestion :) -
For future reference, I think this size is great for you, and all you would need is a reduced cup height. I wouldn't size down to a 60L. You could even send these pictures to Anna via email and get her input.

Thank you lcl0706 :) Feeling relieved that my sizing choice has been validated! I shall email Anna soon about it.

helpfulthis is off topic. sorry. i'd just like to know, is it possible to remove the tassel in the middle? what is the fabric like? on the website, it seems smooth. on your pictures, it seems to be a bit textured.

It's okay :)
The tassel isn't detachable as it is stitched in. I'm sure it could be carefully removed with a seam ripper (or more cautiously, scissors!)
The tassel is made from shiny material so it is smooth but can look wrinkled and textured in some lights. If you're asking about the bra, the fabric is like a mesh so it's as smooth as a mesh can be

I've just included the measurements of this bra and my own. I was a bit reluctant to do so at first because I was afraid my own measurements aren't as up-to-date as I would like to be. However I don't really fluctuate size so what's up there should be fine. Also, there aren't any back pictures at the mo' because I couldn't take any with just my phone and looming exams will have take priority before I take more pictures (also I'm too lazy to for now).
Regardless, I hope the measurements provide at least a bit of help for you if you're kind enough to leave a suggestion. :)
