I was really tempted to try a CHP again even though EM straps are so wide-set. I guess I was hoping it wasn't as bad as I remembered 😂. The BM I tried recently wasn't that bad, but it also wasn't quite the right size. I have to push the straps higher up on my shoulders so they don't feel about to slip off, and that causes a little gaping. ​

The band is a snug 28/60. It's comfortable on the second/third hook (there are four sets) for me. If I end up getting another CHP, I might try a 55FF if possible since I prefer 26 bands.

The beige is actually an ok match for my skintone (for reference, it's deeper than the Comexim basic). The wires are kind of firm, not rock hard like Panache but not as soft as Comexim. Gores don't usually bother me, but this one feels a little stabby due to the wires. And maybe because of the height as well, somehow? It's shorter than most of my other bras.

Compared to my 55J Comexim 3HC, this has a little more depth at the wire and apex projection, so it's a better fit for me (a smidge too large on smaller days—or maybe that's just the gaping from the straps—but not worth sizing down). It's a shame, because I would buy more if I could get the straps moved in. I've heard that they don't do alterations but if my next Comexims don't work out, maybe I'll ask anyway.

Anyway, this is almost my short/deep cup holy grail, but I think Comexim is my brand since they'll do just about any alteration as long as they understand it, and have cute prints.

Update: I contacted Ewa. Size 55FF is possible (I heard getting 55 bands has been difficult lately, but maybe it depends on the style), strap placement can't be changed.

Update 2: 55FF solves the strap problem for me. Breaking it in with an extender though.

This bra is not owned any more
