This bra is really pretty in person! The colors are super bright and fabric is silky and soft - much softer than some of the other Comexims I've owned. I ordered this through Zathiya and had some alterations made to it - I had the gore raised to 3", the straps moved in 3cm, and the cups reduced. The bra fits but does not feel very supportive. The band is EXTREMELY stretchy. It's possibly the stretchiest Comexim band I've ever tried. And the straps are also insanely stretchy. For these two reasons I am uncertain as to whether or not I'm going to keep it. I can't return it to Zathiya because of the customizations, but I may decide to list it on here.

The other thing I noticed is that the wires are much wider on this bra. It doesn't affect the fit on me but I was surprised to see this on a Comexim bra.
Also, there is a very slight odd smell…. kind of like plastic. Not sure what that is. You can't smell it unless you put it up to your nose … but I'm weird and smell bras/clothing when they come in the mail lol.

Cons:
Very stretchy band
Very stretchy straps
Cups too low (I really shouldn't have gotten reduced cups, but I was experimenting with customizations and fit)

Pros:
Vibrant Colors (really a great summer bra!)
Soft, Comfortable fabric

This bra is not owned any more

  My Dottie has a rather stretchy feeling band and straps as well. The band while feeling stretchy is pretty TTS, and can feel a bit tight at times, I think the elastic is less stretchy than the fabric portion of the band. The straps are mildly irritating because I have to adjust them a couple times throughout the day, but since they are easy to adjust it doesn't really bother me.

• I wonder if the straps are the same - the Dottie had bright pink straps too, right?

  The band feels TTS on this one too - and it doesn't ride up on me at all. I think I'm just used to bands that are more firm. I feel like the band would be comfortable on me… but I know the straps would drive me crazy. I always hated adjusting the ones on my Free Time bra constantly.

  Yes the straps on Dottie are bright pink as well. They are narrower than straps on most my other Comexim's as well 1.4cm compared to 1.8cm on others.

  I just looked at the photo of the Mixed Colors and they look like the exact same straps.

• I've just listed the bra for sale here: http://www.bratabase.com/listings/di7w7/

  Wow-it's so pretty! I'm sorry to hear it didn't fit. :( Thanks for including photos.

  For a while Comexim's bands ran a bit small and I almost feel like each order I placed ran tighter than the last) but the most recent ones people have been getting seem to be running much more true to size or even large in some cases

  But I really like how the bra looks much more than I did in the stock photos! The stock photos almost gave it a swimwear vibe

  kermitdafrog21 That's what i thought too based on their website photos.

  I wonder if you could ask for textured straps instead of those awful slippy ones instead.

• gratiat - I think you can ask for different straps. I forget who it was but I remember a Bratabase user saying that they'd made that request before.

  I probably should have done that with this bra since I prefer their less stretchy straps with the texture on them.

  I'm not sure if you're thinking about reordering and trying again, but if you are I think the straps from Allegra (grey) or Mint (seafoam/mint) would work well with the other colours in this bra.

  I got the dark green straps from Lilou on this bra. It's a no charge swap.

  Omg. I love the colors. I wish. Ordered it now. I ordered the snake, and didn't want 2 similar bras.
  Too bad it doesn't fit.
  The band on my Eris seems stretchy although I'd consider it tts.

  Does it have only one layer on the band? If yes you can request to add the extra layer of mesh - I did that with my last order as I have Sonia with 1 layer and I hate it comparing to other bras. Also yes, the straps can be changed for any that you wish :) and im the opposite as I hate the textured ones and I love the soft ones and i never had to adjust them while wearing - maybe some of you just tighten them too much so they just trying to adjust themselves to the length properly?
  Btw looks cute but I know that I won't choose this bra with my next order - too much is happening on the bra ;)
