Excitement filled my brain when I first saw this listed for sale on here! I love long lines and have been looking extensively for one in my size and at a decent price point for a while now. The brand being Comexim sealed the deal for me and the bra was bought hastily. It being a half cup was just icing on the cake. As is typical of my reviews, I wore this bra for a shift at work.
The band felt fairly stretchy for a Comexim band. This is probably due to the fact that it was a well loved bra. Or this particular fabric is stretchier than their typical fabrics. It easily stretched to 30", but the cup wires began distorting after the 27"/28" point. It was really comfortable on, and even though the elastic was thinner at the bottom it did not dig into my waist. Just a nice comfortable hug. There is six hook columns but only two rows. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" /> I wore it on the loosest hook because it felt like it would be firm enough, but over time the bra road up on my body to a thicker section. You can see the marks in my pictures. Maybe if I wore the bra on the second, tightest, hook it may be more stable. There is also no boning in the seams going to down the band. Which funnily enough is just about the same length as my under bust to waist measurement.
The straps are fully adjustable. Made of the same "elastic" sort of material as the others. Although these ones have this satin layer on the visible side. The unnecessary loop-de-loop detail is decorating these straps as well.
The wires on this particular bra seem a lot less soft and flexible than the other Comexims I have studied. It took quite a big of stretching for the wires to distort. They're about 4.25" wide at the top 4" at the middle of the cup. The wires touch at the top of the gore and get fairly wide towards the bottom of the gore/cups. These wires are a touch to narrow for me, I think.
I like the coverage of this bra. The foam cup does not appear to be line with any fabric but seems to have softened greatly with wash and wear. Unfortunately it seems like this cup is just a bit too shallow for me. It's a three piece vertical seam cut n sew bra, as is the norm for a Comexim half cup bra. I fear that going up a cup size won't do much of anything besides raise the cup height instead of fixing my fit issues with this bra. The "65G"/30F even felt like it was squishing my boobs some. The cup has a somewhat open top, but still it closes in some. I believe the lace detailing that was sewn onto the outside of the cup causes the foam cups to curl inwards. The cups depth only goes up to about 6.8" at the top of the cup and the listed measurements (6.3") is about the middle of the cup. So, there really is not good projection anywhere on this cup. I saw a user some where suggested that we should lay the cup over our knee, stretch it out, and then measure the cup depth. This is the method I use for non-padded cups, but I don't agree with this for when one is measuring a padded/foam cup. Using that method equates to the same thing as measuring the outside of the cup, IMO.
All in all, I really like the comfort of this bra. I will have to run another test with the band on the tightest hook to see if it stays in place any better. I really wish Comexim would line their foam cups more often. I don't really like the feel of raw foam against my skin, although it is not irritating. Women with any projection will not get along with this bra. I'd say I have about average projection and have all my fullness in the center (Not INNER fullness), and there is a thumb size worth of space between my breast and the under wire. My thumb is a bit over three quarters of an inch thick. When I force/push the wires under my breast I get massive cleavage though! I think most half cups should have a bit of padding in the bottom to actually boost the breast, counteract the "orange in a glass" effect, and allow more breast shapes to fit these shallow half cup shapes.

This bra is not owned any more

  I love reading your reviews - very detailed and informative! It looks pretty on you. The colors are lovely.

• Good luck next wear. This colorway causes me to smile :-) :-)

• Awe! Thank you Brash5 , I appreciate it. ^.^

  I actually hate this colorway Love4Pollinators , lol it's far too busy for my liking. I'm starting to get the feeling that most half cups won't be a great fit on me. But I'm probably going to wear it because it is SO comfortable for me and I like the way it looks under clothing!
