In between Comexim 65H and 65HH, need help on first time alterations...

Hi everyone, essay coming up! I asked about two new Comexim styles I just ordered in my recent Adventure post. Brand new here so sorry if I'm being spammy! I can't seem to edit or delete them.


So I'm in between sizes 65H and 65HH in @Comexim and have an index that range from @30:8 to @30:9. I'm squishy self-supporting FOB, projected, very close set but with tall, shallow roots that taper toward my clavicle. I'm average root width. I find myself very flexible in many bra shapes and styles but very difficult to nail the perfect fit.

The Comexim plunge is the closest I've come to a great fit and shape but while I have tall roots I am also not full enough to fill up the area under the strap ( causing wrinkles in fabric) and there are tiny gaps in cup edges just above the gore if my posture is less than attention-straight. While the 65HH Jasmine fits nicely comfy in the band, cup width/depth, these small gaps are a sign of a less than perfect fit. (Note that the slightly shorter, rounder Piume is a better fit though still a bit of gap).

I also bought an Adele in 65H, one cup smaller and have none of these issues. No quadboobing either even after settling in for the day. The Adele is 2-hook closure and this is less comfy because I have a mild scoliosis and the thinner, slightly tighter band digs into my back muscle more than the Jasmine. It's also borderline minimum for my cup width/depth at 5.1"/9.1", any smaller could cause digging or spillage and it looks like 8.7" is the average depth across Comexim 65H plunge models. (The Jasmine is 5.4"/9.6", my perimeter in all directions is 9.5").

Which brings me to my dilemma. The Dalia/Suzanne ordered (mentioned in this Adventure) is an unknown new design. No info on it. I am thinking of ordering both a modified 65H and 65HH as this seems to be the least complicated request for Comexim with the language barrier. I did sent them a long email with simple English, pictures, hotspots circled and asking for advice but I am not relying on getting anything as it's been a few days with no reply and I fear that with busy times it may be too complicated an email to translate.


So I've also been hearing about Comexim being very inconsistent across designs in the same cut. I've camped out in this site's Comexim measurements table investigating. Additionally, Joanna told me the gore is lower on the Dalia/Suzanne than Jasmine/Adele. At least I think that's what she meant with 'Brisket.' I can't tell how tall the cups are as the Jasmine is too tall in 65HH and the Piume Blu 65HH is just right, though still with a teeny bit of gap across the cup edge of the right, bigger boob which creates a bra line under shirts.


I also don't know how much the cup width/depth would differ between the Dalia/Suzanne and the Jasmine/Adele in the smaller 65H. And since I'm borderline minimum with that, any slight variation could throw things off.


I'm leaning towards asking for Dalia in smaller 65H, with 3-hook closure and the Suzanne in 65HH with lowered cups and straps moved in to fix gap issues. I don't know how much is necessary and I am hesitant to go up a size to fix the 65HH since I can wear a size smaller. I also ordered Ingrid and Eris in plunge and I'm not even going to think about that yet but it's easier to parse since there's a lot of info on them.


Woooh, I hope your eyes haven't crossed this far into my Adventure post. Any help much appreciated, thank you!
