Fits okay, but it's a little on the small side for my 30G boobs. The band is perfect; firm but not uncomfortable. The cups are lacking just a little bit of the immediate projection that I need - it's not the worst I've seen, but it's not the best fit, either. The top panel on the cups is angled inwards, towards my ribcage, giving my FOT-even, centre-heavy breasts a hint of quadboob. It's no all-day, everyday bra, for sure, but it lifts better than Ewa Michalak's plunge styles - making this a very good occasion ( = cleavage) bra. I did not request a 3x3 hook clasp, but ... I feel supported enough with just the two hooks. I may ask for more hooks the next time I place an order.
The colours are somewhat more muted than in the product photos. When it arrived and I put it on, I immediately thought to myself, that I looked like an old lady. Maybe it's that particular beige colour that doesn't go well with my skintone, or maybe I simply tend to look like an old lady, whatever I wear. Still, it's a nice-looking bra, and I will be getting some wear out of it.

Quite possibly! I've lost weight and it's redonkolously huge on me now. I've only used it a few (maybe 5-6) times. Would you be willing to pay $23 + $5 shipping?

Yes, I would definitely pay $23 plus $5 shipped! Paypal? I am actually not so sure how to private message you...

This would be my cup size +2 as is always recommended for Comexim. It’s too big, as I thought it would be. So much empty space at the top of the cup. I guess this would be the point where people would suggest asking for reduced cups, straps moved in, etc, but a cup size down would be so much easier. I’m not sure who made up this +2 rule or who it works for but it definitely doesn’t for me.
The bra itself is lovely as always. I’ve owned three Ingrids; that’s how much I love the style. 😆This bra is not owned any more

I think I’d really like this bra, except I should have ordered a different size. Looking at Bratabase, I expected the band to run small. (Maybe I looked at the half-cup by mistake?) Anyway... I ordered 80HH thinking the band would be small, but it’s true to size so it’s big on me. The cups are a little small too (I get quadding after moving around). I think if I had ordered 75K (one band down and 2 cups up), this would be great. I can’t return it to Comexim due to customizations on the straps and the gore height (which I love, dangit!) so I’ve listed it ... on Bratabase.
OK, sizing issues aside... the bra is lightweight but supportive. It works like a neutral due to the background color of the print and the shade of the strap elastic. The foam offers some coverage without being stiff or heavy. The cups and gore are narrow so if you need a narrow bra, this is a good one. At first I wasn’t sure about the print, but it actually is pretty in person. Sort of an autumnal floral feel, if that’s a thing.
I think I’d really like this bra if I had ordered one that fits. Lol.

This bra is roughly the same as UK 30E. It’s a cup size too small for me right now but if it wasn’t, it would be about the right shape for me (narrow/tall roots, above average projection, full on bottom, close set).

Christ, do I love this bra.
I initially got the Ingrid as a Christmas present in 2018 -- it was my first foray into the world of Polish bras, and while I loved the look I was quadding like crazy out of this baby (at this time my best-fitting bras were 28FFs). Fast forward about a year and a half, and after losing some weight (and subsequently a full cup size), this is undoubtedly the best-fitting bra in my wardrobe. It fits almost perfectly into my IMF and the wires are soooo incredibly soft and comfortable. What's interesting to me about this bra is how... light it feels? Like ... it is the closest I get to feeling like I'm wearing nothing (and don't get me wrong, I have other bras that are plenty comfortable but they still have this strange **heft** to them on the body).
I will note that I think the cups themselves distort a little bit when I'm wearing them -- I find a 60 band incredibly comfortable, so much so that I think the 65 would be too big, but when I measured the stretched band it seemed like stretching it to 28 inches distorted the cups (I measure 28 inches around the ribcage exactly)
TL;DR love this baby, I hope all Comexim padded plunge bras fit like this because boy howdy I want these boys on my body every day

This bra was so beautiful and so well made! There was no chance it would fit me though.

I have been eyeing the Comexim Ingrid for some time, but it’s generally regarded as a big ‘maybe’ for people with my shape. I knew there was a chance of calamity, but the pattern was so beautiful I decided to give it a try anyway. The cups are very close together, and closer inspection revealed that it has an overlapping gore. This is an alteration commonly requested when buyers order direct from Comexim, but I had ordered a standard bra with no alterations, and unfortunately need the wires to be further apart rather than closer together. In this instance, the unasked for alteration was a disappointing surprise. I ... had heard recently though that this may be a new thing that they’re doing on all plunges going forward, because it is so commonly requested. I don’t know if that’s true, but if so it would make sense.
It quickly became apparent that a 65G was not going to work for me; the top of the cups were cutting in and causing some quadding, though the band was comfortable. Upon closer inspection I noticed that in order to contain me on the sides, the wires were distorting. If the wires were sitting as intended, the cups would be even smaller. I’m not sure if sizing up in the cups again would give me a perfectly fitting bra or just a different set of fit issues, but I’m inclined to keep it for now.

This bra is too large, which I figured may be the case, but I wanted to try a polish bra as I have narrow roots and need projection at the wire.

I was hesitant in buying this bra because of the old-lady print, but the fit is phenomenal. I adore the Comexim plunge bras for the deep but narrow wires and projection. The bra provides good coverage without making me feel like my bra comes up to my collarbones. This style bra gives me the best silhouette under any clothing.
I typically wear a 32G, and sized up 2 cup sizes per the recommendations on the Breakout Bras website to a 32H/70K. It fits perfectly.This bra is not owned any more
