Please give me Comexim advice!
Posted this on /r/abrathatfits also but I'd like to hear from you guys here. I think I'm ready to take the plunge into ordering a 26 band bra.
My measurements:
loose/inhaling 27 snug 25 tight 24 standing 33.5 leaning 34 lying 32.5
Horizontal breast perimeter: 9.5 (left) 8.5 (right)
Vertical breast perimeter: 8 (left) 7.3 (right)
Not completely sure about shape.
- I'm definitely close set, but not necessarily center full. I've never had cleavage but I can't fit a thumb on my sternum without resting on breast tissue. I've tried a few balconnettes (Parfait Charlotte, Panache Petra), and the gores are too high/wide.
- Looks like I have even fullness when supported or leaning, maybe slightly FOB (especially my smaller side). I'm self-supporting.
- I think I have narrow roots. Standing straight up, they don't extend under my armpit.
- Not completely sure about projected vs shallow - looking at the pictures, I see similaries with both to my shape. If I had to guess, I'd say more projected. Not sure about tall vs short roots either. However I'm very short overall (5'0) and cups are almost always too tall, and never too short.
- I often have a problem with cup edges digging into my armpits.
Currently my best fitting bra in terms of the cups is a Wacoal Lace Finesse in 30DDD. I've tried 55HH Ginger and 60H Victoria 3HC, and both were too small in the cups, plus the Ginger was too shallow.
Please recommend me a size, style, alterations, what worked for you, or any other advice. Also if you have recs for Ewa Michalak or any 26 band making brands, that is also very welcome. Thank you for your help!
Filed under Bra sizing and fit
I'm a different size range (34E UK). I am center full and close set, and the narrower gores in both Comexim and EM are so much nicer. In EM I have to sister size in some bands to a 36/80. With Comexim I'm trying having the straps moved in and the cup height lowered. We'll see how it goes!
