My bra was ordered with special requests: (1) reduced cup height (shorter cups) and (2) higher gore. The gore did not end up being as high as I normally like, unfortunately, so I do spill out of it when worn for an extended period of time. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I previously had this bra in 75L - Comexim » Tropical Garden (191) , but I have recently lost some weight (and some boob volume.) Tropical Garden has been one of my all-time favorite bras aesthetically, so when my other one became too large, I immediately ordered this one in a smaller size. I knew it was an older style, so I didn't want to risk not ever having it again! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This (and all Comexim plunges) are great if you need narrow wires, deep cups, and shorter underwires on the sides (seriously, this bra does not stab me in the underarms at all.) The strap placement is also very comfortable as well. The shape is very uplifted, front-and-center, and naturally rounded, plus it makes my soft, FoB boobs look great, which is no simple feat.

This bra is not owned any more

• Just want to clarify -- you had the gore raised by nine centimeters? I've had issues with raised gores and lowered cup heights, similar to what you listed in your review here: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dlet5/

  My assumption was to do away with the alterations altogether, but maybe the solution is even more of an alteration?

• No, I requested my gore to measure 9 cm total, which is higher than their standard gore.

• The combo of alterations that I request now works quite well for me (reduced cup height, gore height between 9-10 cm, and always 3x3 hooks.) I have lost some weight since I wrote the reviews for the 75M bras, so even though I could never get the formula right at that size, thankfully I've figured it out at my new size. I've also accepted that Comexim bras will never give me the "boobs of steel" feeling of support, so I only wear them on weekends or evenings when I'm less active. I think I was trying to achieve that feeling originally when I was trying to get the gore super high. I just wear other bras when I need more support (like my EM S bras or Panache Sport, even.) Hope that helps!

  Thank you so much for your feedback! My boobs are kind of all over the place right now, with some weight gain, tissue migration, and absolute inability to stop growing, so what initially worked for me with Comexim no longer does. I'm in the process now of placing an order with Anna again, and hopefully this time will be more successful. I'm going for a couple different sizes and no alterations (other than the 3 hook fastening, of course!), and keeping my boobs crossed. Thanks, again, and congrats on your weight loss -- assuming it's something for which you strove to accomplish.

• Thanks! Yes, I have been working hard to get my weight down. Still have a bit more to go. :) Good luck! I hope your next set of bras is a success.
