not a big fan of this bra for sensory reasons only basically. i do get a bit of gapping if im not standing up straight which i hate. overall the bras a little too roomy, probably going to list this for sale. also in regards to sensory issues here, only the bottom of the band is firm/elasticized and i disliked how that felt under my ribs. but thats just me. the bra is really pretty though, i just wish it was more suited for me!

Sized up in the band and down in the cup (sister sizing) due to the long-line style-- glad I did this, otherwise the band would have been WAY too tight over my stomach! Unfortunately, the band rolls up in the front almost immediately upon putting on the bra. I usually mush the band up to around the underwires, so in the front it looks like a normal bra, while the back still remains un-mushed and like a long-line. The wide band in the back, however, provides excellent support for a long day on my feet.
The fabric is soft and silky. It feels great against my skin. Wish I had ordered this in a regular bra!

The lace is absolutely beautiful, it is what drew me to the bra in the first place! Wish I had ordered this in a regular bra!

My first time buying Anna and the cups are too big for me. I love the bra and will be trying it in a smaller size.

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!
