I'm not 100% sure about this bra. I was very excited to get it; my first purchase of a used bra, my first bra from Bratabase, my first red bra, my second Comexim. As soon as it arrived I excitedly pulled it out of its package and set to taking pictures of it.
It looks good on. It measures great. I think it's very pretty. The fabric is super soft. I don't think I've ever had a bra with such soft fabric.
But I'm not sure the fit is perfect? Maybe it's because the band has stretched out. I first put it on the 2nd out of the four columns of hooks, because I immediately felt that the last would be too loose. But I didn't actually feel supported - when I walked, my boobs were still jiggly. So I washed it (and was surprised to see a bit of red colour run; the colours don't look any different after, so I won't worry about it) and put it on again on the tightest hooks. This was a bit better. I wonder what that means for the longevity of this bra, or other Comexims. I haven't worn it for longer than a few minutes at a time, yet.
Also one of the underwires squeaks a bit when I move. Not too worried about that, but it's a bit odd.

To summarize, I'm happy with this bra's appearance and initial comfort, I'm happy to have bought it, I think I'm happy with the fit, but I worry that the longevity will be mediocre. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

ETA [07/18/15]: So I've now worn this bra several times. It's very comfy, and again, I love how soft the fabric is. The stretchy band makes it less supportive (running or jumping in this bra is definitely noticeable), but it's still quite wearable.

  Based on pics, it looks like the cups are a bit tall on you. It doesn't seem to gap, so that's good, but the cups appear taller than what they ought to be. Do you know if there were any alterations on it? The gore looks lower as well, which might be why the cups appear taller.

  As for the band, it was my experience the band on this bra is really stretchy! So I think it's just the bra. I wasn't super crazy about the print, which is why I sold it, but I remember it being super comfy and soft. So it'd make a great period bra (coincidence it's in red ;P), or when you just don't want to feel constricted. I still think it's a great fit on you!

• I've heard people mention squeaky wires occasionally, but I dont know what that means.

  But i have to say I think this looks amazing on you!

  also, I jiggled more than I like in my favorite bra .. .but it fits the best, so I just live with it

  Thanks you two!

  I don't know if it was ordered with any alterations. madbethcash didn't mention any, so I assume it's as usual.
  How do you tell if cups are too tall? I've heard people mention that problem before, but I'm not sure I've ever been able to see it.

  That's good to know, about the band.
  It really is comfy and soft!

  By squeaky wires I mean that when I move while wearing the bra, it makes an audible kind of squeaky noise, which I think is the fabric rubbing against the wire, or something in that area. It's not terrible and it might even go away if covered by clothing. Not sure yet.

  And I totally agree, it LOOKS amazing! If bras were just for posing and looking pretty, this would definitely get an A. The fit looks good and just the whole thing looks good.
  I'll just have to keep seeing how I feel about the actual support level as I wear it. :)
