Didn't fit

After a couple of months of back and forth, I finally have my Emeline! First off, I can't say enough good things about the customer service with AP. Anna (not the same Comexim Anna) is extremely friendly and caring, and was super helpful during the entire process of ordering and waiting for my bra to arrive. Additionally, they customize bras for free and even accept returns from customized bras if it doesn't work--amazing!

On to the bra. It's gorgeous, and definitely superior quality to majority of the bras I have, including Comexim. I ordered it with a higher gore, before figuring out the higher gore no longer works for me. The cups are not ideal because of this, but it still works. The cups are basically TTS, but I may benefit from a cup size up since I do have some tissue escaping from the side. The shape is exactly like what I get from Comexim, and the wires are wonderfully narrow. My only issue with this bra is the band. The 34 is just a *bit* too tight for my liking. I can wear it without an extender, but it's painful by the end of the day, and I can see the strain on the hooks and eyes. With an extender, I find I need to tighten it and move down the hooks continually throughout the day to have a secure fit. Additionally, the band is just smaller/not as tall than I'd like, and makes me a bit lumpy in the back. I'd like to try a 36, but I'm afraid it'd be too loose after a few wears.

At the moment, I'm between a 32 and 34, so maybe their band sizes don't work well for those in between sizes? I don't have enough familiarity with the brand to be sure. I do want to order another in the brand, for comparison, but have to decide if I'll go for the 36 or stick with a 34 band. It's possible that a cup size up to 34H may be the way to go, too, as I do have that escaping tissue at the side. Presumably, the band would be wider, too, in the larger cup size, which would feel more secure.

Edit: after receiving a Comexim shipment in the correct size, and comparing the cups, I've surmised the cup is too small. I've contacted Anna with the brand, and she has graciously offered to send me both a 36GG and a 34H to try on to figure out my size. I'll add the correct size bra once I receive it!

This bra is not owned any more

  • I'm confused. Do Anna pardels bras fit different than regular comexim? I see your regular comexims were 75j. And where do you buy these ones from? (Not that I need to buy more bras right now...)

    The size chart is different for Anna Pardal bras. I'm not entirely sure how the relationship works, but I believe it's Comexim who ultimately manufactures the bras. AP bras are more based on the UK sizing, while Comexim is based more on the EU sizing. Here's the site, and you can order directly from the site, or contact them if the size you want isn't available: http://www.annapardal.com/

    The best way to do the match between Comexim and Anna Pardal For Comexim is by looking at their index sizes. That didn't change for sure so you can make the match here:

    PD: I'm working on a way to make that easier to compare

    This is actually a perfect case for index sizes, since they are made by the same manufacturer, so their sizing scale is the same.
