My much awaited Comexim Basic arrived quickly! The color is a nice neutral for a light skin color, and the fabric is a nice quality with a pretty shine. Basic but not Boring. In many ways the Comexim fit is what is expected, narrow gore, rounded and breasts to the front. I am glad that I ordered a cup size up (60p, 28KK) from my comexim 60o which was previously my best fitting bra, but quadding. There are some unusual things which I noticed immediately upon trying on this bra, and which were born out in the measurements. My other favorite Comexim band feels nice and snug, which I feel like my body needs to support the size of my breasts. This one immediately felt looser. It stretches to 32.5. For a 60cm band! The other major concern that I have, and I don't think is a quibble, as I could see it, and it is visible in the pictures, is that the wires do not fill the channels. There is a half an inch of unfilled channel, which allows a weird shape to my breast at the sides. I also included pictures looking upwards, and you can see a small bit of collapse, but more importantly a small bit of quadding in the center. I think that it is such a small amount, and this is after thorough scooping and swooping, that I shouldn't change size of cups, but I do not know what on earth to do in relation to the band length and unfilled wire channel. Should I try another one from Breakout Bras, letting them know exactly what my problems are with this one? As a side note, since I take my own pictures I feel like my breast always look lopsided as I have to hold one arm out in front. On normal days my breasts don't look so lopsided, haha.

  I'm wondering if that empty channel is the new trend, as mine was the same way, direct from Comexim. 3/4" on one & 1" on the other. Crazy!

  I read that the Basic runs small in the cup in general, & we've (at least Sovavosi and I) recently came to the consensus that BreakoutBras Comexim bras run a cup small compared to direct Comexim bras if it helps. A Comexim direct 60P will be larger in the cup from my experience with the 28KK/60P from both. My Ingrid and Bella De Nuit were both from Breakout, all the rest were Comexim direct. Trust me when I say you don't want to try their 60Q. All ways of horrible fit!

  Also, usually that minor center spillage isn't considered actual quadding, it's just the result of too low of a gore. I get that on all my plunges regardless of size or how well the fit. So no worries with that one! :D

• I usually have extra room in the wire channels on my bras. My Panache/Cleo's, and my Mimi Hollidays all have wires that fill the channel perfectly. The 4 Comexim bras I have seem to have wires that are slightly too long for the channels and are pushing into the seams. The rest of my bras has a space anywhere from a quarter inch to an entire inch worth of space. They may have just switched suppliers for their wires and they just happen to be shorter than their patterns channels.
  You could push the wire to the outside of the cup and put some stitches on the gore side to stop the wire from going back that way. Or you could replace them from an older bra that you can't wear anymore if it really bothers you.
  And WOW, that does seem to be the trend in regards to the band, but sheesh that's a full TWO band sizes larger than the stated size. I would write Anna and let her know. I could see them making them somewhat larger, but not two band sizes larger. That's a bit redunkulous. Maybe they sent you a 32JJ/70M instead XD

• I think the extra room is pretty common and is in case of some shrinking that happens when you wash your bras (for those who don't wash properly)

  Comexim bands don't retain their tension regardless based on reviews though. Many members size down in band and start with extenders for the first few wears. :-\
