My most recent Comexim order from Breakout Bras has been quite hit or miss. Out of the three bras I ordered, the Andromeda is the one I've wanted for the longest. I had been drawn to this style immediately when I came across the Breakout Bras Comexim section, but as it is one of the more expensive styles, I didn't want to order this before I was sure of my size.
Thankfully, when it came time to order this, Breakout Bras reduced the price AND had a 25% off sale going on. Thus, ordering from them as about the same price as ordering from Comexim directly ... during a sale, so I snagged my current size of 60H and crossed my fingers that the cups wouldn't run big or fit funny.
Luckily, this is actually my best fitting Padded Plunge style in 60H! I've noticed that the bras seem to fit a little differently based on the fabric, even though the foam used is the same, and the measurements are the same. It seems that some of the bras hold their shape better, while others become slightly distorted, despite the same band measurement. The Andromeda, with its thicker fabric, seems to be more stable in the cup, and this style along with Ingrid seem to fit a little better than Basic, which seems a bit floppier.
The fabric of this bra is once again different from my other Comexims. It seems to be a lightly peached satin microfiber, and the print is a marbled purply grey/light grey/pink combination. I thought this fabric was going to be a darker toned satin, but it is still lovely. It seems to be an update of the older style Luna, which was a marbled grey print in microfiber as well. However, the trims on this bra are very simple. There's no lace at the upper cup, the straps are plain purply-grey with picot edges, hardware is pink plastic, and the bows are square and made of two tone ribbon. Honestly the bows are my least favorite part of this bra as I don't think they really suit the style.
In terms of fit, this is really similar to my other Comexims in 60H except that the cups are more stable and I get a little less gapping than on other styles despite the same tall cups and wide-set straps. The 60H cup width and depth are perfect for me, but as the fullest portion of the cup is a little higher than my natural shape, I have some emptiness at the top of the cup on my smaller side. When I move, I can also see some gapping at the top of both cups that doesn't occur in the 60G. The taller cups also mean that the side of the cup and strap cause a little chafing. My hunch is that the problem is driven by the cup height because the cup width, depth, and wire measurements are pretty much the same as all of my other best fitting padded cup bras so far, and I get a pretty good fit on my larger side when I don't move my arms in.
The only thing other than the cup height that I don't love about this fit are the overlapping wires at the gore. I find overlapping wires to be a bit unstable on my body, because although my breasts are right next to each other with no gap, my splayed roots work better with standard gores of about 1"/2.5 cm. This gore is extremely narrow, about half of the width I am used to, so it takes some extra positioning on my body to sit properly.
The band is TTS and in my experience, only one of 9 Comexim bras in a 60 band came in off-spec, so I would suggest ordering your normal band size. This style is fully covered in printed fabric just like the Ingrid, so the band is double lined with stretch tricot for stability. The band and cups makes this a comfortable bra that feels supportive and gives great shaping. I am very happy with this additional Comexim style, and I can't wait for them to reopen so I can order more styles in 60H with customizations!
