I have been trying really hard to find a way to get a Comexim bra that fits me with no strap gap. This bra comes quite close to having no strap gap, but HOOOOOLY QUADDING. It's not too noticeable from the front or with my shoulders slouched, but if I pull my shoulders back or raise an arm it becomes quite noticeable.

I have normally been wearing a 70N with reduced cup height. For this bra I tried a 65P. I went down a band size with the intention of using an extender at first, since I've been noticing that most of my Comexim stretch fairly quickly (I do in fact need all three rows of the extender for now). I went up a cup volume to try to get more cup depth (this gave me about 2cm in extra cup depth). Finally, I reduced the cup height by 3 cm. This created a cup height that works pretty well for me at the straps.

Unfortunately, I think that the cup is still not deep enough. The cup depth of this bra is 32cm, and based on my rough estimates I would want something closer to 35-36cm if I wanted them to be basically held without compressing any of the tissue upwards (for anyone curious about my estimating techiques, I laid one breast flat on my palm like I'd want a bra to support it, then measured the perimeter in that position). Since the cup wasn't deep enough, some of the tissue gets pushed upwards by the bra, leading to some quadding. I think I may have to abandon my attempts to get a bra that is deep enough and short enough to be a truly good fit from Comexim and just let the cup height compensate for the lack of depth for me.

Otherwise though, I do really like the bra. The straps are the thicker straps that Comexim uses, and are a bit hard to adjust which means they won't slide from where you've adjusted them. Plus who doesn't love leopard print!
