Hasn't set fit

This really looks like an Art Déco sister-style of @70K Comexim Yoko plunge!
My regular Comexim size (70K) was not available, and I had previously been wondering whether to size up to 70L in Comexims.
So I tried that, and despite some minor issues it seems to have worked out well!

FYI, *edit: at least for my size*; the conversion BreakOutBras uses basically means that their listed 'US size' is the Comexim direct order size.
So in this case, UK 32HH - US 32L means Comexim 70L.

Edit: *because this is unaltered, the strap placement does bother me*. Ideally I would do some sewing and move in the straps, we'll see - for they are currently too far apart for a day's wear / comfort.
One thing that's interesting about the fit: the immediate projection is still insufficient, despite sizing up. So I'm thinking in Comexim plunges I definitely need added projection at the wire? It's wearable like this for sure, but could be better.

I really do like this bra's aesthetics!
Some Comexims just speak to me and this one was definitely on the shortlist.
Sadly this Piume Blue had been sold out for a while at Comexim's - which is why I did cave and ordered this one from BoB, despite already owning Yoko that looks somewhat similar. On the plus side, my bra size has remained pretty stable over the years, so I'm hoping that luck will last for a while longer (hmm o_0 - don't jinx it!?) and I've found that having a larger rotation also helps to keep my bras in great shape for longer!

(yes yes, guilty as charged - #justifyingmypurchase #dontneedmorebras #braddict (; )

    no, I feel the same way. It's always a toss up, I think to myself, "do I order more to keep the bras I have now in good shape?" Lol.

    But it's so true, the more bras one owns, the longer they stay in a good condition.

    bubblegum , the only exception is, US I = Comexim HH, since comexim doesn't use I (but doesn't skip letters - like I guess Ewa skips O and goes directly to P, because O would look like zero. Maybe Comexim thought letter I looks like one...)

    Question (not that you need to urgently answer): I found this chart online which converts UK cup size to EU cup size. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Cupumrechnung.svg

    so, isn't Breakout Bras skipping cups here and there? It's not a 1:1 ratio of UK cup sizes to EU cup sizes. Should I email Breakout Bras my burning question? Lol.

    Oohhh this looks great on you! And it totally has that Art Deco artistic appeal to it. It looks way better in your pics than the stock photos on the model. Love it!

    I've been wanting this bra so bad! I have the red version in a wrong size but the blue is just something else! So happy for you/jealous you have this :') It looks great on you :)

    MeeM_13 ask Comexim directly!

    I emailed them about their Snake bra a while ago (sadly missed out; sold out in my size) and they then mentioned they could make me a Piume Blue!

    Decided on ordering through Breakoutbras in the end, because of the Treasure bikini deal, but they *may* still have some fabric left to make you one!?

    bubblegum ooh I really can't justify buying new bras right after I've got some but hopefully, they'll still be magically available. If not, that's okay too. They just have such beautiful bras, like Megan and Emotion (I reallyyy want Emotion). I should stop tempting myself by looking at comexim bras 😂

  • 2

    Oh wow: just looked it up and Emotion is a very original design indeed! Super fancy with those wider straps!

    I've been very curious (if a little hesitant?) about unlined Comexims.

    But yes, let's practice some restraint and just not look haha! Sorry for enabling ;)

    BraOdyssey I suppose you're right, interesting!

    I always get somewhat confused when I look at all those size charts too long haha - especially when taking into account that UK cup 'jumps' count a 1" (2.54 cm.) increase, while EU cup jumps calculate a 2cm. increase?

    So I was just happy when I figured out that (at least for my size) BreakoutBras 'US size' corresponds with Comexim direct-order size; not 100% sure about the underlying math for all sizes!

    Thanks for pointing that out - and yes, ask if they can explain/elaborate?

    I only have experience with one unlined comexim (Karina plunge) and it's the best unlined bra I currently own. The band is much more supple, almost looser than the normal padded bras so, I'd want to go down a band size but I just really like a very snug band. You can ask the unlined bras to be made into a 3hc, instead of a plunge, if that's what you want (I really want that). I got mine second hand and the alteration was done for reduced cups but even then, I think it expected my nipples to be higher even though the cup depth was okay because the cups were too tall for me but if you're okay with their normal plunges, height shouldn't be an issue. The top has a bit of stretch elastic kinda, it's fairly open at the top. Material feels good, not too delicate bit not too rough or whatever. It gives a very nice shape. I have pointy/conical boobs but it really gave a natural almost round shape. Straps are ridiculously wide (for me) but I've heard that about the plunges in general. Hmm, that's all I can think of right now but this is just my experience with one unlined bra and I have smaller breasts so, I can't know what they'd be like for larger breasts.
    You should definitely try them tho! Ahem, obviously not now but maybe next time 👀😂

    bubblegum , I think that your explanation does make sense for a bunch of letter though.

    MeeM_13 thanks for that info, helpful for sure! But you're right, let's hold off for now ;)

    @BraOdyssey ah good, I wouldn't wanna create confusion!
