Irish Coffee. How gorgeous. I got it from r/braswap as a plunge and now I have it as an HC as well. <3

Ok I'll get the boring stuff out of the way first, narrow, projected but not as much as the 3HC, I got the moved in straps and narrowed gore alterations and they are great, also 55 band is great, 55H fits like UK 26F as usual, etc etc. The cups are tall but not overly so.

And now on to the interesting part, which is how this bra differs from Irish Coffee in other cuts. The most notable feature is the top of the cups, which have ... a raw lace edge instead of the ribbon edge that other ICs have. I'm the only person on bratabase right now who owns this bra in the HC cut, so I have no idea if that's the reason for the change or if they just ran out of brown ribbon, but either way I'm not complaining. It's really beautiful. The reason I ordered this in HC was because I wanted to minimize the number of seams breaking up the lace pattern, and in my opinion this design feature just adds to that effect even more. I mean, look at it! You can see whole unbroken roses in the lace continuing over the top of the cups. I'm definitely always going to order lacy styles as HCs from now on. I adore Comexim for letting me customize the bra in this way and for their sometimes surprising but always brilliant design choices. And of course for making 55 bands. Comexim is my one true bra love.

Another interesting feature is that the charm at the center is a "C" with a little gem, rather than the sun-shaped charm that my IC plunge has. Again, not sure if this has to do with the cut or just that they ran out of the suns and are switching to Cs generally. I think it's cool that I get to have one of each.

I have the matching briefs as well and they are equally lovely. What a nice set.
