Used to fit

I have to share this review as an adventure because I am now the proud owner of a FITTING BRA!!!

It even seems like it fits better everytime I put it on. The Comexim Ingrid Plunge has gotten some flack for its pattern, but I think the antique styled floral print is perfectly fitting a rural farm girl surrounded by flowers. The padded plunge is a very "in your face" shape - the girls are up and out and as my sister said "it's not that they look bad...they're just so...prominent." This is a function of the wearer as well as the shape, because I've been ... disguising my breasts with frumpy tops and sports bras for so long I'm not sure she was even aware of how very 'prominent' they are. The shape isn't perfect for every top or occasion, but the bra fits and is in my possession and is the first non-athletic bra to do that ever, in my entire life. I won't go into my feelings about this - we probably have whole spaces somewhere on this site dedicated to tearfully share the life changing event that owning a bra that fits truly is - but I know many of you understand what it's like to be confident and comfortable with the entire front half of my body for the first time since I was 15.

The bra itself - is comfortable, supportive and well made. I have narrow rooted, close-set and center full, pendulous breasts that are soft and also full on top. This can be tricky to fit I think, since I am prone to having breast tissue molded into places that aren't attractive or comfortable - like the cleo marcie I tried earlier this week that had wide wires and a high gore - tissue was pushed out to the sides as well as over the top of the wires at the center. In the 65N - Comexim » Burgundy Half Cup (357) I had empty space on the outside of the cups and overflow in the center. I think I would have had the same problem with the Ingrid padded plunge had the cups not fit almost perfectly. Another plus is the padding disguises any other weird soft tissue stuff that might be happening inside the cup itself.

I'm sure I'll find better fitting bras in a shape I find more flattering in the future, but I doubt I'll ever feel as grateful and overjoyed as I do now reviewing my first ever fitting bra. Yay!

Update - October 2016
Now that I've worn this bra few times for long days and have gotten over my ecstatic 'fitting bra' glow (seriously, I've been wandering around in a well supported haze, gleefully whipping off my shirt for anyone showing even the slightest interest). But now I realize that I probably need more immediate projection for a truly comfortable long-term fit. On a few drives home I've had painful wires digging into my ribs below my IMF, and noticed the inside of the cups have some wrinkles after wear. From what I've learned here I believe the wires are pushed down over time and dig into my ribs due to lack of immediate projection in the cup or an overabundance of immediate projection in my boobs! It's not unbearable by any means but definitely something I'll consider for future purchases.

  Yay congratulations!! Comexim is wonderful. This bra looks fabulous on you. I have a circular love/hate relationship with its pattern. I'm not a fan of florals or anything that could look like my grandmas curtains. I really didn't like Ingrid when i first saw her. But she has won me over somehow & now I love her colors. Sometimes i still think "man it really does look like a couch" but not enough to stop me from (finally) asking Comexim to make me one :-P

  I dont think anyone in my family ever had a floral couch

  dbmamaz We were the only ones around that I know of. We rescued it off the streets (yeah...it was gross but we were super broke) and the pattern was almost the same as this one. Let me just say this pattern works better on a bra than on a couch.
- lcl0706 My partner had the same "couch" reaction to my Ingrid. He detested it because it reminded him of the velvet orange/brown floral couches that were popular in the 70's/80's. After he said that, Ingrid was ruined for me as well. We had that same couch when I was a kid. I couldn't get it out of my head after that.

  It looks great! Out of all the bras I've ever seen, this is literally my favorite pattern. I love the earth tone florals. I've one on order, hope it fits as well as yours!

  It looks fabulous on you, congrats! I also had the same reaction when I got my first Comexim plunge in the correct size for me. It took me quite a while to fall for Ingrid, as in general I don't like florals, but she won me over in the end with her unusual Autumnal colour scheme.

  Ok, just one more comment - sometimes some of my Ewas give me that same feeling, like, woah, nelly, I know i have boobs but, thats a lot! But I've started to get used to . . .thats just the body I have and its ok
  
  But otoh, they are a lot less pronounced in a BM
- Thank you so much everyone! I love this place :)
- This bra looks lovely on you! 😊 Regarding the pattern, I guess it's always a matter of preference, from my side it's the prettiest bra ever :D

  OMG thank you for this review! I have center-full breasts and I was so on the edge about getting the Ingrid.

  dezeiram I'm so glad my review was helpful! I've gotten so much help and advice on bratabase but haven't gotten to do much contributing or reciprocation yet since I'm still learning how bra fitting and everything work. I hope the Ingrid works out well for you!

Didn't fit

I am so happy with this bra! *I ordered it with cup height reduced 2cm and straps moved inward 2cm.* I am not sure whether they actually did the strap alteration, since the straps aren't nearly as wide-set as Ewa Michalak bra straps but still definitely not perfect. However, it's clear that they did the cup height reduction and I'm super happy with it! I'm definitely glad I ordered a cup size up to compensate for the resultant decrease in cup depth, since the cups seem like a perfect fit. I'm not sure why the gore doesn't quite tack, but it doesn't bother me. BTW, if you have ... trouble with gores being too tall, you may have an issue here -- the digging in only bothers me sometimes but I can imagine that it would be really annoying for someone whom gore height commonly affects.

The Ingrid floral print is stunning as always. I really love how the fabric looks almost vintage, with the almost rusty color of the bows adding to the effect. I honestly think this is one of my prettiest bras and although the cup height reduction was purely for comfort (to mitigate the super-tall-cup syndrome that Comexim plunges get), I think it adds to the appearance.

The band is VERY tight! I had to wear it with an extender for the first few days, and I still use an extender for comfort for time to time. It's a nice TTS 26, stretching to exactly 26.0 before the wires begin to distort. The wires are perfectly narrow enough for my larger breast and just the tiniest bit too wide for my smaller one, but of course I'd prefer that over having them sit slightly on top of my larger breast. There's not a TON of depth at the wire, but I definitely don't get the bottom-of-cup gapping that I did with my 60J Basic Plunge.

Now that everyone has learned how much I tend to ramble in my reviews, here's an overview: Cup height reduction completely fixed the armpit-cup issue, but I'd definitely recommend sizing up if you request that alteration. Obviously gorgeous appearance -- I'm so glad to have an Ingrid that fits since it's my third try with this stunning bra (glad I persevered!). Gore sometimes digs into my chest at the top, but it's no big deal for me and it's comfortable otherwise.

  I'm not sure. I read an article where someone (maybe Anna Pardal?) said that someone else had been right that doing alterations for free was rather optimistic or something, but I can't find it now, and I see September articles saying that they 'might' charge a small fee in the future from third parties. Hopefully I'm wrong! The longlines come at a small extra fee; I thought having almost any other alterations came with a small extra fee too, but that you got as many alterations as you want for that. But short of buying another bra, I'm not seeing a way to check that!

  larabloom I ordered two new bras and asked for the straps to be moved in 2 cm...they said it was fine, and I didn't pay anything more...let's see if the alterations will be done or not... hmmm

  As far as I know customizations at Anna Pardal cost $10 for as many alterations as you want. Cookie pockets and nursing clips are free.
  Comexim longlines are an additional 20 PLN, all other alterations are free.
  Ewa Michalak charges an additional 20 PLN + 6% (international customers) for special sizes (ex: 60 bands) and special cuts (ex: So to CHP) but performs no other customizations.

  Ugh, that should say S to CHP. :/ autocorrect.

This was my first Comexim order and I couldn't be happier. I read a lot of measurement info and fit checks here and on the abtf reddit to try to figure out what size to get (I usually wear a 30D in Cleo/Panache bras). And I also decided to bravely go for an alteration on my first order as well - I asked for a narrowed gore because I routinely make that alteration on bras myself. And it worked out great! The fit feels perfect to me and it is the most comfortable bra I've had yet! The gore is perfect. There's no gaping or empty space anywhere, ... the wire width is perfect, and it has nice high wings, which I love. I was a bit nervous to get the plunge style because I have tall (but shallow) roots and bras sometimes cut in on top, but not this bra! And the fabric is beautiful!

So, yeah, I think I'm a Polish bra convert https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Thanks to everyone who measures their bras and posts reviews and fit questions - you are helping more people than you know!

- Congratulations!!
- Yay! It looks great on you!
- Yay! I love Polish bras too. May I ask how you did the narrowed gore when you did it yourself?
- Thank you!
  
  Sunflowergrrl - There are a few tutorials out there for narrowing gores that I learned from, like this one: https://brasticmeasures.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/fit-issues-center-heaviness-is-a-dominant-shape-trait/
  
  It's a very simple alteration, and reversible if you don't make any cuts to the fabric. Basically, you just pinch the gore in and sew it down along the pinch line. It's very helpful to pin it first and try the bra on while it's pinned to see how much you need to take it in.
  
  Sometimes I need to overlap the top of the wire channels as well, because otherwise the angle of the cups changes too much. This was a useful tutorial for that step: https://imgur.com/a/RmUTO
  
  If you are at all handy with a needle and thread, and you think it might improve a bra, it's totally worth a try. You can always undo the stitches if it doesn't work out.

  Very useful review, especially being able to compare the regular cut with reduced cups. I've just ordered my first Comexim plunge, asking only for cookie pockets to be added, as I wasn't sure which, if any, other alterations I might need. I seem to be a similar size and shape to you, so it's very handy to know that reduced cups are unlikely to be a good match to my shape either. Thanks for sharing this!
- 2
  
  alexad You're welcome!
  And yes, I think my biggest issue with the altered cups are that my fullness is all in the centers because I'm conical/tuberous.
  I think ayone who has lots of fullness all around might be alright with that alteration, but otherwise it takes the center depth near the gore/coverage there away.
  
  Good luck with your order! I hope it works out well for you :D
- *is xD
- I know it's been a while, so I hope you won't mind a further comment on this, and perhaps helping to clear up a bit of a mystery for me?! I have trouble figuring out where I have any fullness, as I don't seem to have any at the top, or bottom, and I assumed that centre full meant a lot of cleavage, which I also don't have (although I'm close-set). What I do have is a rather conical shape, so all my volume is in the middle of my boobs, but I have little overall fullness - could that be described as centre fullness, or am I misunderstanding?
- 1
  
  alexad I don't mind at all! =D
  I honestly think the term is used by people to mean both. I may be mis-using it, but I describe myself as very center full and your shape sounds very similar to mine.
  
  I'm a bit more tuberous, so my shape is pretty much as narrow and projected as you can get, but I call that center full a lot because I don't have your typical FoB or FoT shapes. I basically have almost no bottom tissue and very little upper tissue.
  
  When others say center full however, I usually think they are talking about how much tissue they have towards where their bra gore would be. =)
- alexad Actually, now that I think of it I probably use the term interchangeably hahaha
- I wish you could edit on these because I keep hitting the "add comment" before I'm done. Dx lol
  
  Anyway, I think instead of saying center-full for how much your boobs stick out, "projected" is probably more accurate. =)
- Thanks for your reply! I felt a bit bad for bothering you with something so trivial once I realised you were dealing with some health concerns at the moment (hope things are improving now?).
  
  But anyway, I think we may indeed be quite similar in shape. I'm pretty much all central projection (which, because I'm so pointy, also equates to immediate projection), and I have wondered whether I might have mildly tuberous breasts, although I've never sought a medical opinion on that.
  
  I also don't know whether I'm becoming more narrow, or just beginning to recognise how narrow I really am - the wires of almost every bra I own in the correct volume seem to extend quite some way beyond my roots. So, I really think Polish is going to be where it's at for me.
  
  Thanks again!
- 1
  
  alexad Aww it's really np at all! I think I'm ok, things haven't been as bad for about a week now. :)
  
  It's hard to tell when it comes to being just mildly tuberous. I couldn't tell for a long time if I was sagging or tuberous, and then I realized that my breasts don't really lie below my IMF at all, so definitely tubey!
  
  The wires are where I have my problems too, and it's actually causing a bit of indecisiveness about my size right now. 30E FoB/even bras work depth-wise, but 30D-DD wires are best. I have Comexims in 60F-65E-65F-60G right now and they all basically fit somehow.
  
  Anyway, but yeah, I'm sure Polish will work great for you! :)
  The next best that I've found fit-wise was Fauve Grace.
- 1
  
  I'm glad things are getting better - the pain sounded awful!
  
  Yes, I'm self-supporting too, so I've never been sure about being tubular, as the definition often includes being pendulous, but I guess with a mild form that might not always the case.
  
  I generally use depth as the guideline for sizing, as I think that's the crucial element for me. I can wear wires that are a bit too wide without any issues, but not having the right depth (usually corresponding to 30E) is a deal-breaker for me, as I need this to get a pleasing shape.
  
  Thanks for the tip on the Fauve Grace - I'll see if I can track one down!

This bra is so beautiful, I simply can't get over it. The roses, the background, the timelessness--I adore it so much. This is the bra that made me take the leap to order straight from Comexim and I'm so glad that I did, because I've realized that Comexim bras are wonderful for me, mainly because they have narrow wires, narrow gores, and--most importantly--the straps don't dig into my armpits!

I could rave about how pretty this bra makes me feel, but instead I'll mention how comfy it makes me feel. I love how it lifts and supports my breasts and gives them a nice, uplifted shape that isn't a teardrop or a point.

The band has three hooks while the 65H only had two, and I have to say, I was against the extra hooks at first because I didn't think I needed it that much, but actually it's super comfortable. I feel supported and hugged (not squeezed) and I'm just in love with this bra and want to show it off to everyone.

Didn't fit

I'll begin by saying that this bra is not a perfect fit. The wires are definitely too wide (about 3cm wider than I'd like), the gore is very tall for a reduced gore, there isn't much immediate projection, and even with a very reduced height, there's some strap gap.

That being said, this is by far the comfiest bra I own. By far. The Ingrid material seems to be softer (and stretchier) than most of their other bras. I had issues with my last order of 65 bands from Comexim being waaaaay too tight, but this one is a perfect fit in the band so that's a plus. Every ... time I size up though, I'm more and more shocked by how large the cups are...

Also just for a little experiment, I tried putting one of my cookies into the outside of the cup sideways (because the pockets are tall enough that I can put my cookies in sideways) to take up some of the extra space created by the too wide wires. It gives a pretty nice pushup effect.

  T, omg! I have one comexim, its an 80O? 80M - Comexim » Coco (381)
  
  Ok, M. it was a tight band, fits like an Ewa 75.
- Is Comexim's T cup the 19th cup or the 20th? Bratabase is showing it as the 20th but I thought Polish doesn't have the letter Q?
- 2
  
  True, Polish don't do Q cups, but Comexim decided to make Q cups not to confuse their american costumers.
  
  Other Polish brands will skip Q cups though, so better to go by index size.

  dbmamaz The cup height is super reduced on this (I think I did 3cm), so that probably shaves off 2ish cup volumes (usually I use a taller cup to make up for not enough depth). But yeah its a large bra... The guy I'm seeing actually commented last night that he feels like every time he sees a new bra of mine its bigger than the last lol

65G

Didn't fit

I got this bra in exchange for my 65J which was always a bit big but didn’t quite look like it was, perhaps because it is a little bit closed on top. Having lost weight last year, it no longer fit and I was ecstatic to be able to do a swap for a smaller one.

I have actually been gaining a little bit of weight back, and this one is a titch too small in the cups, or perhaps it’s just too short. That said, the quadding is more like bubbling, and it’s actually giving me a really uplifted and rounded shape, perhaps because this style tends ... to run a bit shallow compared with other plunges. If I add an extender, I settle in a bit more, and it does feel a bit more comfortable around my ribcage. It’s fine as is, but borderline too tight. I have to measure it still, but I am guessing that it’s probably pretty close to the listed measurements, and probably about 28.5” stretched. I can do it but prefer 29” as I can have a sensitive ribcage.

Overall, it’s a fairly good fit, and I think it’s going to relax a bit more with wear. I’m not sure if I will wear it with the extender because the hook spacing is a little bit different, and I don’t want to damage the bra with a slight change in tension on the hooks.

I think a 65H or 70G would have been perfect in this one.

Side note: the tattoo is temporary from inkbox. It’s also a bit messed up as it was the first one I did and questioned if I had it lined up straight…but between my eye problem and slight perfectionism, I adjusted it a few times but the ink was already transferring which created a bit of a blurry look.

  Your analysis of the fit is in line with the pictures. It's such a beautiful bra. I hope it does relax a bit for you!
  
  Is it just me, or does this not look very plunge-y for a plunge bra?
- learningaboutbras yeah I find that the fit of this is not quite as plunge-y, but then Comexim plunges often don’t seem to be as plunge-y unless you have a reduced gore.
  
  I’m hoping it will settle and relax with a bit of wear, and I may settle in more once the swoop and scoop isn’t so fresh. I’m fitting my Megan similarly but I think it’s maybe a smidge taller and open and I don’t bubble as much. I’m thinking maybe this size with added depth would work or one size up, possibly with reduced cups and gore 1cm. I’m leaning toward the larger size because I have a gap in what is fitting me right now.

  This looks great, Calluna! Such a classic from Comexim.
  I've read it "the one bra every redhead should own." lol.

65H

Fits

For reference, I am projected, FOB, center full, narrow roots, and petite (4'11"). I purchased this bra through r/braswap, so I'm unsure if there are any alterations. The bra is a beautiful beige color with a floral design and orange accents, and it gives me autumn vibes.

I was afraid this wouldn't work for me, since it's only my second Comexim and I'm still trying to figure out sizing. I'm so happy this is overall a good fit and very comfortable! The cups are a little tall on the sides, so they cut into my armpit but no gaping at the top of the cups like I usually have ... with other tall styles. There's some slight gaping near the gore on my smaller side, but I'm unsure why that's happening.

The straps a slightly wide but still placed better than Panache/Freya bras I've tried. I may look into getting customized Comexims with the straps moved in. The band needs to be a little tighter, so I'll probably look for 60HH bras to try in the future. Fortunately, this bra came with 4 rows of 2 hooks, so I'm using the second farthest row.

The narrow wires are comfortable and not too firm like my Panache Cari bra, but they are a little too high in my armpit. They follow my breast roots very well but maybe a little too well? I honestly can't tell if it's sitting on my breast tissue near my armpit on my right side, because the wires follow my roots so closely. I don't feel any pain or discomfort, but I speculate that my right side may have a slightly wider root compared to lefty.

The cups pull my breasts up front and center and give me a round lifted shape I've never had in my previous bras, and I love it. Comexim, where have you been all my life??

  The Ingrid is such a pretty bra!
- Have you tried balconette bras? I found Savage X Fenty balconette bras too short. Not a great long lasting brand, but short wings.

  That is how I feel about my comexim's too, where had they been all my life! So far they are my best fit and look great.

65J

Fits

This bra is a swap from Sonya. I’ve always loved Ingrid with her soft autumn colours and delicate design. I remember seeing it reviewed in the Dreams and Underthings blog. It’s one of the bras that’s been on my mind for at least a year. When I borrowed the 30G (65HH) Jade Plunge from Sonya, it was a great help to see the fit. The things that bothered me most about the Jade were the tall cups and wide straps. This Ingrid was supposed to be altered with straps moved in, reduced cups, increased depth at the wire so I was certainly interested in trying ... it, despite her saying that she was pretty sure that the cups were not reduced.

So I sent her my 65G S Mojito because, as much as I loved the colour and look on me, I hated having to wear with cookies for the cups to fit other than a few days around my period as it created more shallowness when I need depth at the wire. I think it’s a good trade. The mojito fits her better than me, and this one fits me pretty well. I feel like I might have a little more room in the cups for swelling, but it’s not obvious that it’s slightly too big in the cups because of the way that they sit on my tissue. I feel like my nipples sit a tiny bit lower than the apex of the bra. I can concur that the cups are still pretty tall and don’t appear to have been reduced. Straps do appear to be in a little bit and fit a bit better, but I think it’s another armpit eater. Depth at the wire seems good, and feedback from a friend that has had Ingrid before is that it looks like it’s got the extra depth alteration completed. I think that the cups would be perfect if they really were reduced.

I noticed that it is a 3 hook back, which must start at J cups and up. It’s a little bit difficult, depending on how much trouble my hypermobile joints want to give me. Some days it’s quite easy and a struggle at times still. The straps are a ribbed texture...quite thick. Not the easiest to adjust, but they will stay put. Band seems comfortable with my 28”-28.5” under bust.

Overall, it’s a pretty good bra. It would be ideal with reduced cups, but for now, I think I can manage, and this tells me that a 65J with reduced cups and straps moved in should be a winning combination. My soft tissue is contained, and the added immediate depth gives my pendulous tissue the space at the wire to keep the wires in my imf. Being center full, I’m always going to get more spilling in the middle, but it’s not bad here. Wires are pretty narrow. Cups are soft, though not as soft or light in comparison with Ewa’s PLs.

I’m glad to have a chance to try this bra at long last.

- This looks great!
- It looks lovely; I too have had a longing for Ingrid, but I’ve not yet been able to find the right size. I think I have two ‘no way’ Ingrids in my closet, sadly.

  Good colours on you! I also found my Comexim plunges to be armpit eaters. That's why I never wore them. For fully padded plunges I prefer my Ewa also.
  I have recently discovered semi-soft bras though and they're my new faves.
- Looks great. I found the Comexim plunges to be a little tall too. The apex doesn't sit in the right spot on me, so I only wear their half cups. I once requested cups reduced too, but it was never done. I'm not sure how often they actually complete that modification. Every bra I've ordered past J has thicker straps and 3 hooks. I like that actually, as I find it gives better support. Glad you found a Comexim you like.

  I have often thought they did not reduce the cup height on mine, but what they are not doing is moving in the straps. This makes the cups seem taller than they are. Unfortunately the only way to tell this is get one that has no modifications and compare it to that.
  
  Also, I've noticed there is a max amount they will reduce the cup height. I've asked for 2cm in the past but the max they will do for me is 1cm. When I ask them to move in straps 2cm they do not do it at all, or if they are, that means the straps for my cup size are so far out that 2cm is not enough.
- This looks beautiful on you- the fit looks great!
- Thanks everyone. I do love the colours of this one. The fit is pretty good but would be perfect with lower cups. I’m probably going to go for some half cups soon.
- I wore it all day today at work and I can honestly say that the straps moved in is huge in my comfort. I wasn’t really aware of the cup height or armpit curve much today. Bra felt light and comfortable and like it was molded to my body. Not quite same as Ewa but I was pretty happy with the fit today. I feel like cup height is more of an aesthetic, but I definitely want to try it out on a custom at some point. But given that Ingrid is a little bit of a unique cut from what I gather, I question what size to alter...same?
- I agree that cup height is more aesthetic. Straps moved in makes a much bigger difference in comfort. I have an Ingrid in 60K that fits pretty TTS as compared to my other 60K plunges. I would order a cup size up if you want to try alterations, though.
- To clarify, I think a 65J would be perfect with alterations.
- Thanks Sonya.
- Beautiful bra. You should totally try the half cups, I feel like the slightly shorter height does help with gaping up top (at least I think it does for me).
- Just wanted to follow up and say that I really love this bra. It’s really comfortable and so much better with the straps moved in. I wear it regularly. I still think it would be better with reduced cups, but this is a pretty good fit for me.
