Didn't fit

So far, my main response to this is: disappointment. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I was so excited for this. I'd planned on ordering it from the beginning of the summer, then ended up having to wait until a bit after Comexim's summer break ended. I had to negotiate to get it in my usual size of 65J, because it wasn't in their list of offered sizes. They added it just for me, and I was so so excited to finally have a swim suit that fit for the first time in years.
But then I finally got it after some shipping mishaps, put it on, and it doesn't fit! The band is fine. Very stretchy, but fine for a swim top. I was a little concerned about the straps, which are also very stretchy, but they do adjust short enough.
But the problem is the cups, which are too small, resulting in quadboob and non-tacked gore. It's like they nicely put in a 65J tag into a bra that's actually a 65H or whatever the previous maximum size was before I emailed them. The cups are also shallower and wider than any of my other Comexims.
I'm not sure what to do about it at this point. Email them again and try to get another cup size up? Hang on to it and just decide it's a showy bikini top? Decide to never swim again?

On the plus side, I still think it's a cute swim top. The black and colours play with eachother in a fun way. I think the shape would be nice if it fit. It seems like it would be pretty comfy. The clasp seems to work well.

  • How frustrating - its gorgeous!

    That thing looks AMAZING. Absolutely gorgeous, even with the poor fit. I don't even like Aztec type patterns, either, so this is a superlative design!

    @Quixii, how about emailing Comexim your photos and asking what to do? If you want the same design but with a tacking gore, say that. Even if it's a discontinued design, they might have enough fabric left to make one more.

    And, yes, you could still wear this as a va-voom bikini top, on days you're not planning to swim or run or walk fast...

  • I know Salma is their 2 part HC instead of a 3 part which makes it more shallow. Sorry it didnt work out for you :( It looks awesome on you and i really love the pattern! I got the Pin Up Girl bikini and im in love with it! The band isnt super stretchy and the straps are a little more sturdy in my opinion!

  • Thanks everyone.
    I really do love how the bikini looks, but in person the quadboob is noticeable and not in a way I'm really comfortable with. I'd definitely recommend it for someone with slightly smaller boobs looking for a cute bikini.
    I think I'm going to try wearing it in the shower, just to see how water affects the fit (in the privacy of my own bathroom :p). But since I'm not much of a lounger, if it's not going to work, it's not going to work.
    gogobee, that's actually a really good point! The Comexim Pin Up Girl Biustonosz is constructed much more similarly to my other Comexims, which means there's a better chance it would fit me. Thanks for giving me a reminder/hope that maybe I don't have to give up on swimsuits. It's a shame because I prefer the vibrant colours on the Salma, but if the Pin Up would fit, I really couldn't complain too much.
