Bra fitting help » Cup maybe a bit small (?)
Comexim » Elena Plunge Bra (315) » 65G 30:7
Hi,
I think this bra is just a bit small. If probably it was 1/4 of an inch deeper it will probably fit me just right. Do you have any recommendations on what size/style to try? I think that a 65H cup will be too big for me. (But I don't have about Comexim sizing, so I may be wrong.)
How big is the difference between cup sizes?PS It is too difficult for me to take pictures of my back.

helpfulIt does look like you're quadding, and you also have some of the gaping I get that I believe is indicative of short roots. You could try the 65H and perhaps order with reduced cup height and cookie pockets--that way you can put an insert on your smaller side, and the cup won't become too tall for you.
I believe the difference between Comexim cup sizes is 2cm, so it is slightly less than the usual 1 inch increment between cups.

I know the Basic runs the smallest of all the plunges. My beige one was a quarter inch smaller than my other ones. People say the black one runs even smaller.
I don't think the cup depth changes with reduced cups, just the height. I could be wrong tho, hopefully someone will correct me if I am >_>
-
You might want to try the models that are more closed off on top that have either lace or ribbon.
-
wild_muses so a basic in 65H would probably fit if it's a quarter inch smaller? still get it in reduced cup height?
amandafire do you have suggestions on what designs would that be? i am actually looking for plain ones first before i buy the ones with pretty designs. im interested in black or beige.
what about half cups? would half cups in 65H be a better fit?
-
Yeah, I would suggest you still reduce the cup height of the basic, I didn't find mine to be shorter than the others, just a quarter in less deep. I know the halfcups are shallower so unfortunately they may not work for you.
-
The Basic, Dakota, Veronique, Brigitte are a few, basically anything with some trim along the top. The Elena and Poppies are the more open cuts and anything that looks like those. You might try the halfcups, but you may want to try a 65HH.
-
Just a general question: how do you mean there is 2cm differance between the sizes? so for the cupdeepth or cupwidth?
Thx :) -
cup depth. someone mentioned it earlier.
-
Oh sorry, I must have missed this. Thx! :)

helpfulI think this is the correct cup volume, you just need a higher gore. Do taller gores bother you? Polish gores are very narrow by the way. I think if you had this bra with a raised gore it would just slightly increase the cup depth, contain your center fullness better, and be a much better fit.

I agree! I think that could be a good solution for you if you can handle the higher gore! Lowered gore takes away a bit of depth, raised gore increases the depth some. That way you don't have to risk going up a full cup size. But I would like to mention as well that reducing the cup depth does also take away some depth! So if you do want a reduced cup to better suit a shorter root, then you would want to size up!
-
i have another bra that has a higher gore i dont like the way it fits. but it's tolerable. that's why i tend to go for lower gores.
do you guys know if the basic comes with a higher gore? i dont want to order the elena again.
lcl0706 so a CH/CHP in Ewa Michalak is out of the question? I was thinking about that instead.
-
i looked at the measurements of a basic 65G. the gore is about 2.6 inches. is that enough gore height? (the elena pictured above has a gore height of 2.1 inches). and the basic measures 8.0 - 8.5 inches cup depth. do you think that would do? i can order the basic at 65G no alterations. any thoughts?
-
A 2.6" gore would be a half inch taller than this so should help, somewhat. I'd give it a shot. As far as Ewa goes, a CH/CHP would probably be your best bet with Ewa bras. They're the narrowest wires with good immediate projection. 65F or 65FF would be a good place to start.
-
lcl0706 yeah i was debating about a 65E or 65F. but was also thinking that a 65F might be too big since you fit into that one and you have larger measurements than me. :)
-
Yes the 65F I can wear in some models. But I can BARELY wear it lol. And it has to be very very open on top or it will cut it and quad. 65FF is better for me, really, but then the wires tend to get wider. 65E or F should work on you.
-
lcl0706 alright. will probably order ewa. im still confused about the comexim. if i ask for a higher gore in comexim, will it not end up like this http://bra.pe/IJmP/ ???
oh and btw, do you happen to know the difference in cup depth for ewa chp? is it 1 inch difference
-
Yeah as her cups go up they're scaled at 1" per cup size. My Ewa CHP's measure around 8.5 in depth.
The Deco half cup gore is wider than any gore you'll get from Comexim. So no, it likely wouldn't look like that.
-
youre referring to 65F as having 8.5 cup depth? right?

helpfulI wish I had some answers for you! Have you tried any other Comexim bras? With the gap at the top I think the next size would be too big. I am dying to get a good nude bra from Ewa or Comexim so I feel your pain! My Ewa size is 65F and I have ordered 60H from Comexim. 65G would be my sister size but I have not tried any in that size to see how accurate it works with them. Have you explored other polish bras yet to see how they work to get an idea of their sizing?

nope. this is the first polish bra that i tried. i may have "weird-sized" boobs. :( first, they are not the same size. and they spill out a bit and there's a bit of gaping on the smaller boob. so it's confusing.
-
Don't worry - you don't have weird boobs at all! Asymmetry is very very common, most people have it. My left breast is about half a cup bigger than my right.
About both spilling and gaping at the same time; this has to do with centre fullness (which you seem to have) combined with cup/root height. Again, not your boobs fault but the bra's. I understand it can be frustrating though.
Anyway, since the Basic tends to run small, I would say this size in other Comexim bras might be perfect? Reduced cups also sounds like great advice, and cookies for possible asymmetry correction.
Good luck!
-
bubblegum im not so sure i understand. the bra is actually the elena plunge. so i should get 65G in other styles/designs. and 65H on basic? with reduced cup height. is that right?
-
oh btw, does anyone have an idea of what size i should order for Ewa Michalak CH/CHP?
-
Ahh then I misunderstood. Thought this was Basic because that model got mentioned. Sorry!
But yes, in Basic you could probably get 65H and I suppose all Comexim plunges would be better for you with reduced cup height.
Mind the advice above about maybe avoiding the half cup styles though, due to them being too shallow.
-
bubblegum im just worried that if a 65H would be 2CM deeper than a 65G, i wont probably be able to fill the cups. so i should look for specific 65H that runs small or 65G that runs big.
-
just looked at the measurements of basic 65H. cup depth is 9 inches. i will not be able to fill that.

helpfulI also think the low gore is the culprit here. A higher gore would position the breasts differently - more inward inside the cups - so they would not fall out in the middle. Possibly you could order the same cup size with a raised gore or go up a cup size with raised gore and reduced cups.

i didnt know you could order with a raised gore. :) do you fit into bras with a 9 inch cup depth?
-
For soft unlined cups 9 inches are a promising cup depth for me. The padded cups are different though, in those 9 inches would be gaping probably.
-
wow. 2 cm seems a lot. im scared to try it. :( do you know which comexim 65H styles are a little smaller?
will the cup depth change if i ask for shorter cups?
