The anticipated longline! Silky soft material on the outside, standard Comexim cup material on the inside. This is my first Comexim half cup, so I can only compare to the plunges. As expected, the cups are slightly wider and flatten my boobs inward a bit compared with the same size in a plunge, but they are still contained (soft tissue!). The florals are bright and airy (a vintage sort of print), the lace detailing is gorgeous, and the bows are a great match for the pattern colors. All in all, a gorgeous product.

Sadly, it does not work for me.

Problems: the band is loose, only has 2 columns ... of eyes (why???), and combats fiercely with my flared ribcage. The band stretches about an inch more at the top than at the bottom and middle (34 at the top, 33 at the bottom). My ribcage slopes the opposite way: narrow at the top at the underbust and wider directly afterwards where my ribs end. If your ribcage flares directly underneath your breasts, this could work to your advantage, but I would advise against this longline for anyone whose flare does not start for about an inch past your underbust. The band just rolls straight up; with this print, I can't stand the look of the crumpled band.

Now that I have seen the print on myself, I also find that I am not quite in love with it as a part of my wardrobe. I have to admit that I'm a bigger fan of darker, more geometric prints.

If you love the print but don't think the longline would work for you, there is a standard halfcup version on Comexim's website!

If you have no flare and your waist is smaller than your underbust, this longline could be an amazing and soft addition to your wardrobe.
