Chevron 60Q (28L)

This is my 4th attempt at Chevron for Comexim. I really like the colors and pattern. I have previously tried Chevron in 65M, 65N, and 60P, and you can see those reviews for specifics, but I will cover a bit of the technical details in comparison here in this review.

The Chevron is a padded standard plunge bra with light foam padded cups but no removable cookies or cookie pockets. The print is a lovely Chevron zigzag pattern of purple, green, blue, and pink, with solid black on the top of the cups. Since Comexim doesn’t stock the 60Q label, I requested that they put the UK equivalent as I want labels on my bras, so this one has a 28L label instead of the 60Q even though it was purchased directly from Comexim.

Now on to the technicals!

All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 22.5” flat and stretches to a max of 28”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 13.75”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16”


I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The cup height is 9.25”, with the gore being 0.5” wide and 4.25” tall. The cup width is 6”. Yes, 6”! I did not request the 6” wires for the first time in my 60Q attempts, and I actually ended up getting them this time, go figure. Woohoo!

I requested my gore to be raised 2cm, and at first I thought it was done, until Sovavosi asked me how much they actually raised it, haha. My Chevron 60P gore was 4.15” high unaltered, so I can say that my gore wasn’t raised as 4.25” is a logical difference for the 60Q.

I also requested the straps to be moved in 2.5cm, and while I cannot say this was the actual distance they were moved in, I can confidently say that they were indeed moved in as this placement is not standard for the 60Q. Based on where they sit on my shoulders, I would guess it was moved in 2cm.

To compare the 60Q to the 60P, 65N, and 65M:
60Q Band 22.5-28” max with 3 hooks/4 rows; Cups 13.75 flat to 16” max stretched, height 9.25”, gore 4.25”, wing 5.25” Straps moved in 2.5cm

60P Band 21.5-30” max with 3hook/4 rows; Cups 12” flat to 14.5” max stretched, height 9”, gore 4.15”, wing 5.25” Straps moved in 2cm

65N Band 22.5-32” max with 3 hook/3 rows; Cups 11.5” flat to 14” max stretched, height 8.5’, gore 3.25”, wing 5.5” no customizations

65M Band 22.5-31” max with 3 hooks/3rows Cups 11.5” flat to13.5” max stretched, height 8”, gore 3.5”, wing 4.5” no customizations


As for fit,
Straight out of the box I was convinced the cups were too big, as they really looked huge, but they actual fit nicely. Hello mirror morph & magic boobs, haha.

Strap placement is perfectly fine, but the armpit curve is too straight instead of curving around the arm, causing the arms to push the cups off the breasts at the strap area slightly. This is still wearable as is and not as bad as with Beatrice, and I can lower the curve to prevent this fairly easily, so this is not really an issue.

Aside for the armpit curve, the gore sits 2.5 fingers off my sternum, and while I understand this would technically make this one not a “fit” especially as I would have a decent amount of quadding if I forced a tack, if I can wear this without any pains or quadding regardless of where the gore sits, then it is a good fit.

This one is also comfortable on the tightest hook-set, which is typical for me, so again, not a fit issue in my opinion.

This is the best fitting Comexim attempt in a long time. I don’t get the center spillage or flop out, and my breasts feel secure in the cup even when I lean forward which is very nice. I only wore this for about 5 minutes for a quick assessment, so if my initial fit views change with all day wear, I will give an update.

I am glad that I placed this order with the raised gore request, even if I didn’t get it, as whatever they did was practically perfect for fit. I just hope they can recreate it in the future as I would love to order some more Comexim bras now!!


I was quite nervous, as I placed this order and less than 3 days later it shipped. Yet even with the lightning processing speed, I feel this order was closest to getting a good fit from Comexim, and the first time in a long time that I feel my customizations were honored as requested, for the most part.

This bra is not owned any more

  This looks like a really good fit besides the armpit. I’m happy for you!

  “Hello mirror morph & magic boobs, haha.”

  😂

  I think that it’s fantastic on you, aside from the armpit curve. I wonder if it can be altered to be a little less material.

• Thank you both! I am very happy with it, and I can lower that curve fairly easily so it won't be an irritant. :-)

  Hooray! They're listening! Definitely a win in my opinion. :)

  Wow that looks great, except for the armpit.

  Indeed DerangedDragons19!
  Thank you Sovavosi :-)

  I'm so happy connecting fondly worked for you :)

  Awesome, I love this print too! It is great that you are already comfortable lowering the armpit curve, so that you can make this just right for you.

  veggiechic. A lot of trial and error with the armpit, haha. I used to think it was just too wide set straps, but I realized it's usually more of that damn curve instead of the actual strap placement. The car "jumping the curb" instead of "rounding the corner" thing, you know?

  MamaPagan if I simply want to move the straps inward for 2cm, what fit impact can I expect, except the comfort of straps not chafing my tail of spence?.. Please advise....

  Shrisowmya That would depend on the fit you have in their standard (no alterations) cup really. Moving the straps in will get them out of your armpit, but also remove any arm /armpit resistances you may be experiencing as well. If your arms are pushing the cups forward, moving the straps in can end up resulting in the cup being too small when that resistance is eliminated.

  The best way to tell would be to put their standard bra on (no customizations) without the straps on. With a proper swoop n scoop, does the breast tissue stay in the cup or does it spill out the top? (You may need to hold the cups up with your fingers lifting where you would ideally have the straps to simulate the strap lift.) If the cups are overflowing without the straps on, you will experience the same once the straps are moved in.
