After my last foray into Comexim, I thought I had my size pretty well figured out. I ordered 3 new 55Fs based on how my previous purchases fit - my new Paola plunge is a dream, but the two 3HCs are nightmares of the exploding boob kind.

The band is a little snugger than I would like, but will be fine with an extender for a couple of wears. Wires are great, straps are great, gore is great and not too high.

Cups are.. small. To be fair, I ordered this with reduced cup height, as I did with my 55F - Comexim » Roma Half Cup (344). However, while that came out as a half cup too large, the Mia (and 55F - Comexim » Ardea Half Cup ) are a cup too small, maybe more? I actually have no idea. But that's an almost 2 cup size difference between two bras of the same size and shape.

After swooping and scooping, I have quadding to the point of nipple escapeage on my larger side. Even my smaller side (a cup size smaller) is bulging at the edge. If I bend over, I feel like everything is going to fall out.

It's just.. bah. So disappointed at the inconsistency in sizing .

• Definitely contact Anna at Comexim and let her know of the inconsistency.

• Ugh. Disappointing.

• Oh how frustrating!

• That sucks, because otherwise the bra is so pretty!
  I really just don't think this style is good for your breast shape. I think you would be much happier with Ewa half cups. She has even opened her shop back up to making size 55 bands.
  Here is the style equivalent of Comexims 3HC that I think you would love: https://www.ewa-michalak.pl/product-eng-694-Bra-CHP-Marcepanowa-Magnolia.html
  Generally when women ask about the half cups from Comexim I recommend going up a cup size or two from their Plunge size because of how extra shallow they run.
  If you really love the half cups from Comexim, Giving it a shot in 55G with a shortened cup height and asking more depth at the wire may end up working well for you.

• From my experience with Comexim LeProfessor, Deeper at the wire also makes it deeper at the apex, so sizing up and requesting deeper at the wire may not yield desired results. :-/ But Ewa is a viable consideration.

  Did they say they did the reduced cup height alteration? From what I've read they will not do that because the cup would end up too short. I had to provide photos before they would even consider it on one of my half cups.

  Valid point and question Sovavosi. It leads back to my first comment of contacting Anna at Comexim is the wisest option for resolution and confirmation.

• Sovavosi I had an email exchange with Joanna before I ordered (mostly about the band inconsistency between my Roma and Veronique) and asked if I could order all of the bras with cookie pockets and reduced cup height as with my previous order. She said it was all fine, so I can only assume it happened!

• Thanks for the recommendation LeProfessor , I love that one!
  I'd been a bit wary of Ewa Michalak as I'd heard horror stories about her refusing to make such small bands for people. I'm really unsure about sizes there too - I tried a number of her bras in a 60D at a store here, and they were all over the show! One was perfect, 3 were riding up onto my boobs and another I couldn't get even close to fastening. I might shoot her an email and see what she can recommend for me. Do her half cups run at the same size as the plunges? All the ones I tried were 3DM.

• Yah, they run differently per each model. The plunges run shallower compared to the half cup and the CH runs more projected than the CHP. They are both a bit wide, but you could always bend your wires to better suit your roots. I'd recommend you start with the CH to see how projected of a shape works for you. I personally think you would be fine the CHP (which is VERY deep and projected). But you may want to keep it safe and try the 65D to see how the cups fit before paying the extra 20pln for the custom size (55E). Since the 65 band can be returned. The bands are all extremely TTS or loose these days except for the M cuts which run a size or two small.

• Oh! And puddle44 there are a couple other women around your size whom have input data for their 55 band Ewa bras. Here's the link to Ewa's size range and it should be filtered for the CH cut. https://www.bratabase.com/browse/ewa-michalak/size-range/

  Sovavosi They seem to really go back and forth on reducing cup height on the half cups. I've requested it on a few bras in the past, and basically got different answers every time.

  Consistently inconsistent! :-)
