  roxannelovesbras Thanks!! Ingrid is totally fantastic lol

• Awesome, looks great

• thats narrow? looks like it comes almost to the back of your armpit? Not to be critical, but i keep considering trying a comexim but keep being discouraged. i'm 3 or 4 cup sizes larger than you are

  Beautiful!!! dbmamaz I bent, narrowed, the wires and it worked fantastically for me.

• Thanks lvp!

  dbmamaz Yes, only considering the size. The width is about 16cm. And surprisingly, bigger size bras from comexim that I've ordered before has the same wires in width. I have Coco 3hc in size 80M which fits like 32Jj/34j(not sure though. It is just huge for me..ugh I listed it, so you can check the measurement) and compared it to Ingrid 75M. They have same width. So... I think it is worth trying haha.

• Thanks DressTheTwins!! :)

• Wow, that is close to my size. But the band seems pretty big. I mostly wear 32s in Panache and 75s in Ewa Michalak. How did you end up with such a big bra? Wish you werent so VERY far away lol

• Looks lovely on you! dbmamaz all the measurements I see for Comexims look too wide for me so I've been starting the think the narrow wires are maybe somewhat size dependent or because they are narrower than many other padded half cups- just guessing here

• yeah, they seem to fit really well on people who are maybe up to a G cup in Uk, i think. tho a few bigger people like them

  Tho if I look at her 80M listing, her measurements of the cup width is smaller than any of my bras? Idk, its tempting me a little. for science. not like i need another black bra tho

  Then I'd be tempted too! My problem is the opposite. All the measurements I see where the depth would fit me the width is wider than all the bras I already have. But I'm still tempted by Ingrid because she's so lovely.

• I should have said that the wires are no narrower than some of the other bras I have and wider than some others. In 65HH Ingrid which I would guess estimate as my size (having not tried it on) the measurements are very similar to my Cleo Lily 30F. The width is the same actually. Another I've looked for example was the Sonia half cup. I think I'd need a 65J in it and the wires are 5.7" which is basically the same as the Claudette Sophia icon 30FF Chinchilla color way.

  dbmamaz oh.. It has a long story lol. I think coco runs a bit big in the size. And the band is pretty firm and fits like em's 75s. I've tried S pralinca? and s cut bra in size 75hh and 75J. I think coco80m fits like em's 75jj, not sure though.

  Thanks revisa!!

I love the aesthetics of this bra! Its a beige colored bra with burnt orange flowers and ribbons on the straps and the gore. Its beautiful! However from a fit standpoint, it doesn't work as well. It doesn't show up in the pictures but I'm definitely quadding out the top of this bra (its my first 3HC bra so maybe I need to go up a size from my plunge size?). To compound the issue, since its a longline, the band isn't too stable so the cups tend to slide down, making the quadboob even worse. The bottom of the band definitely rides up a lot as well. ... Some people on here seem to be able to get them to work, but I think I might have to accept that longline bras just aren't for me :/

For record keeping purposes, this bra was ordered with the following alterations:
Made in a 3HC cut
Made in a longline
Raised gore*
Reduced cup height*
Extra column of hooks (the clasp is 5x3)
Straps moved in
Cookie pockets added

(Note: The bra was ordered without confirming that all of the requested alteration were doable. Therefore, I'm unsure if the starred alterations were actually done, but the rest definitely were.)

  A lot of people need to size up from their plunge size for a 3HC. And Comexim's longlines need re-engineered completely. They are not nearly as stable as their regular bras and are often wider and shallower. A 70O regular 3HC would likely work much better on you than this. Beautiful, though!

• lcl0706 Yeah, I keep hoping the longlines will work but so far the only kind of success I've had was the Florence (because the whole front of the band is non-stretch). I actually ordered a not longline version in a 70N as well which should be here either today or tomorrow (guess I should have waited until I got this one first), but I'm hoping that the quadding isn't noticeable under shirts because I really like this one lol

• I think Ingrid (plunge or 3hc) runs a cup size small. I have ginger 3hc, otylia plunge and ingrid 3hc all in the same cup size. Only ginger gives me quadding, ginger and otylia are a bit big though.
