About me: Measure about 26FF, moderately projected, even-to-FOB with short roots, functionally narrow roots, close set, center full, about 1-2 cup size asymmetry.

This bra fits similarly to my other 55J - Comexim » Pearl Flower Mint Half Cup except with taller cups. Not bad on my smaller side but too small on my bigger side. My boobs refuse to quad or spill out the top and instead push the whole bra, wires and all, on top of my breast tissue, which is quite painful. Interestingly enough, the unstretched cup depth is the same (7.75") but the stretched-over-the-knee depth (which is what really matters in terms ... of fit) of this bra is bigger, so the cups are stretchier. The cups are the perfect height for me at 5.5" - if only they were just a bit deeper!

The band is made of only 1 layer of firm mesh compared to the PFM, which might be why it is a bit stretchier. But it feels just as stable and well constructed as the 2-layer bands, though. The straps are nice and wide. Overall, it's a quality basic bra but unfortunately not a fit.

So much spilling, and the shape isn't projected enough. Band is a very stretchy gal

This should work according to the depth measurement, but it's just not quite there. It pushes up/presses my breast tissue and creates some slight quadding on top.

Edit: it's actually not that bad when my size isn't fluctuating during my cycle, but still a push-up cleavage fit, which isn't always what I want. I think the plunges suit me more and possibly accommodate the size changes better, but getting all the customizations to work out is a trial.

This might fit better with extra depth at the wire (I've heard that the 3HC is good for immediate depth, but in this size range, I don't think that's true). ... I've seen other reviews with this alteration; emailed Comexim to confirm they do it but haven't heard back yet.

I've been trying to make the 3HC work for me so I could get something unaltered. But it seems like I can't avoid customizations.

Update: So I actually ended up asking about the plunges, not the 3HCS, but they confirmed that they can add 1cm of depth at the wire to the plunges.

Update 2: I decided to keep this since it's not the worst. Trying a 55J Ardea next, since sometimes I think the Basics run just a little small and a 55K might be a little too big without customizations (remembering that 60HH/28G I tried which was too tall/large overall). My order of reduced cup plunges with extra depth at the wire was pretty hit or miss. I don't recommend this alteration since it's hard to know if it was done.
