I ordered this bra direct from Comexim. It took just about a month to ship, and so disappointing 
https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Well, just the fit. The bra itself is SO CUTE!! I really wanted this to work. This is now my 3rd failed attempt at Comexim, and I wanna get it right! I'm determined!!
But the Dottie is such a girly girl's bra, with the polka dot theme in turquoise and pink, and contrasting black and pink bows on the straps and the gore. I love that the straps on this are a bit wider, pretty similar to Freya's. However, they did seem to ... be a bit too far apart, though I asked for them to be taken in 2cm. I also asked for cookie inserts and they gave me the actual "pocket" for the cookies but without any actual cookies. Lol. The wings were perfect height! I was able to hook the band on the FIRST set of hooks (with a 27" Ribcage, there's a rarity for me). I ordered this with an additional row of hooks and eyes for the extra support. It does seem to be a true 60 band, measuring only 20.5" and stretching to just 28" (which was about the point where the wires were being distorted). The band did seem stretchy, but not loose by any means. But for some reason, while wearing the bra, it appeared as though there was too much tension or something at the center gore, strange.
Now onto the fit - I just don't know. I may be asking for fitting help/advice with this one. I just can't seem to pinpoint my size with this brand, and it's super frustrating!! But the "notoriously" narrow wires (at only 5.3" wide) still came out pretty far under my arm, which leaves me completely baffled. You can see where my actual boob begins through the empty fabric under my arm, and I get orange in a glass with both cups (more so on my left). I guess this is because there isn't enough immediate projection at the base of the cup? Yet there is some gaping at the edge of the cup (where I'm normally quad boobing out of them). The cups are def too big in that respect. It was almost a good fit. And the cup separation seemed perfect for my close-set boobs (only .5" apart). But the tall gore was def bothering me (at 3" high). The wires were digging into my sternum. Normally, I would request a lowered gore, but with my previous attempt in the Brigitte I thought the plunge style was the problem. So I decided to leave the gore height alone and only got the reduced cups instead. But, for whatever reason, this bra (this BRAND) just doesn't seem to be working for me. So sad.
Overall, this bra is "simply" adorable!! Fairly comfy (maybe more so if it fit properly). Good quality. I also got the matching thongs in a Small and didn't even attempt to try them, they are def SMALL!!! More like an EXTRA small! Lol! But cute. Oh well, I'm still going to continue on with my Comexim Quest!!!
