Comexim disappointment
About a month ago I got my first Comexim bra in size 75M. This one: http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dl5c7/
It was not a bad fit but I needed a taller gore and the cups were on the small side.
So when there was 10% coupon code on Comexim's website I decided to try another of their bras but in a larger cup size and with a taller gore.
This week I received the Comexim Jacqueline in 75N. The gore is actually taller than on the 75M basic by about 1 cm.

Now that is not an epic difference. I even think that it might be the usual difference between a 75M and 75N? Or they they really made the gore taller? I haven't specified how much taller I wanted the gore.
The bra fits super weird! It's actually worse than the 75MIt's not too small. The cups are actually gaping. I get some weird gaping on top of the cups towards the center and towards the straps. I had to tighten the straps very very much to get rid of the gaping. Shape and support gets better but I could even use more tight straps but it's not possible or I cut into my flesh. Also the band starts riding up a bit the more I have to tighten the straps.
But the biggest problem is: the straps are too separated! I was shocked since I haven't had that issue with the Basic.
There is too much cup fabric towards the center and if the straps where not centered I would not get that much gaping.
I compared my 2 Comexim bras and the straps on the 75N are far more (about 1.5cm?) to the sides than on the 75M

Does one cup size up make such a difference?! But then why move the straps more to the sides? It's also the same band sizes so there is no need maybe to adjust the bra to a wider frame?!
I think, the issue can be solved by moving the straps more to the center. Or would I be better even in a 75M with with a taller gore rather than size 1 cup size up?
Now what should I do? Alter the straps more to the center? (will it help?) Sell this one and get another bra? What size / gore height? :/

I get that issue when I overshoot my size... It seems like you're in between M and N. They do make in between sizes (from what I gather on balkonetka).
Jillsas You think the bra is too big? :O I rather think that the straps are too separated and if I move them closer to the center it will fix the gaping. But I am not sure.
I had no idea that they do "in between sizes" :O I think that a 75M but with a taller gore for more support towards the center could be worth trying? At least I am sure that I need an even taller gore than on the Jacqueline.
