    55HH

    Fits

    A lot of people seem interested in unlined bras from comexim and for good reason, they're so hard to find and even if they're added, there isn't much information available.

    First thing that comes to mind is that the band feels stretchier, almost looser when compared to their lined bras. It's still a 26 but I just like my bands extra snug so, if I were to order directly from comexim, I'd maybe ask for 50 (do they even still do 50 bands? I heard they don't). The hooks are 2 by 4.

    I got this bra from someone else who asked for the reduced cups alteration and even ... then, the cups are too tall for me. The cup depth is great, it doesn't slighty squish like the 3HCs, it's a true fit. It is slightly narrower than the 3HCs, as the plunges are. The cup depth is also a bit larger (0.5-0.8 cm, depending on the 3HC, handmade variation). The straps are very wide. They cause a slight fit issue because the straps are not straight, if they were to sit well on my shoulders, causes slight gaping in some angles. That's really not an issue since all unlined bras gape on me, in some way. I'd suggest asking for the straps to be moved in and the other alterations you normally ask with your lined plunges. I'd like for the unlined bras to be made into 3HCs or at least have the straps moved in with the reduced cup alteration, when I plan on ordering from comexim directly. I have seen and heard that it is possible.

    It gives a beautiful shape under clothes. It gives a rounded, natural look. Basically my breasts but a bit bigger and slightly rounded because it's all in one place. The lace does reallyyy show through at the top and even though there's no gaping, the lace sorta bends outwards sometimes and moves away from the bra a bit. I don't know if I'm making sense. The only negative point for me is how much it shows through.

    The quality is great, doesn't feel delicate or flimsy. It's a very pretty bra and quite sexy, if only it didn't cover my entire breasts.

    Overall, it is still the best fitting unlined bra I own, for now. There is no gaping most of the time, barely any wrinkling, no squishing. Would recommend trying the unlined comexim bras if you struggle with unlined bras.

    Edit- after wearing it around for a while, it's very comfy and the gaping magically disappears. it's like a comfy bralette.

      This looks good on you! yes, I am interested in unlined Comexims, and curious about the fit compared to their padded plunges, lol.
      It looks really comfy from the pictures!

      MeeM_13 , I wanted to do a little write-up on comexim padded plunges measurements/sizing this week and tag you! But I don't know if I will this week...

    • 1

      Thanks! I kinda feel it doesn't look too great on me but it really is comfy! Also, I definitely would like to know how they compare. The person I got them from said they fit similarly. Makes sense. Why not this week? Well, whenever you do, tag me!

    • BraOdyssey ^forgot to tag you

      Beautiful! If it's comfy I'd consider it a win!
      Thanks for reviewing, so interesting how little info there is on unlined Comexims.

      I'm super curious to try one, but especially in the K+ sizes there seem to be quite a bit of scaling and sizing issues..

      There's this blog review by kermitdafrog21 http://bra.pe/XSok/ / https://bratoday.wordpress.com/2016/06/13/comexim-musetta/ which kind of makes me scared to order one!

    • 1

      bubblegum hmmm very interesting, the blog review. The cup depth was only 29 something cm for a size that is supposed to be quite a bit bigger than 55HH, the cup depth with this one is 20.7cm. I mean, there's no way that would fit a 70N! Must be very frustrating, bigger breasts are getting represented more but most of the fit problems I see have to do with bigger breasted people! (Not to say smaller sizes don't have problems but you get my point)

      Looks great! Thank you for this review. I’ve been trying to find more info on smaller band sizes for my daughter. She’s very petite, 4’10” and 96 pounds. I recently got her a Comexim Basic in a 28DD and it’s working pretty good so far, tho I think she could go down a band since she measures at 26” underbust. Any data you add is always helpful.

    • 1

      Happy2BraShop , wow, it's great that she has you as her mom - bra expert!

      Of course for more reasons than that I'm sure, lol. : )

      It will prob be easier to order 26 bands from Comexim? v. Ewa Michalak. I think one has to submit their measurements to Ewa (at least that's what I read from Marilynne) to get them to make a 26 band.

    • 1

      BraOdyssey Thank you. I try my best and fly by the seat of my pants like most parents. Haha.
      I’ve personally never ordered anything smaller than a 30 from EM. The 28DD happened to be at BreakOutBras. We gave it a shot since it was returnable. She ended up loving it. I just had to bend the wires out every so slightly on one side due to her scoliosis.
      The Comexim cup definitely fits well. The band fits pretty snug, but I think the Basic in general tan tighter than other Comexim bras. I showed her the bra shared here in this review and she loved the pattern. I think Comexim is def the way to go as far as any alterations needed. And that’s for anyone in any size who needs customization.

    Didn't fit

    My disappointment is immeasurable.
    The first bras I ordered from Comexim showed promise, though too small, this bra seems to have taken a step back in the wrong direction. The cups are too wide, the gore doesn't sit flat and despite asking for the straps to brought in the maximum amount, 3cm, the straps are too far apart on both the back and front of the bra! It seems to me that when I ask for the straps to be brought in they only make the alteration to the side panel leaving the top panel oversized, leaving me with way too much gaping.

    Knowing that the wires tend to be my Achilles heel when I ordered these bras I did ask if the cup width could be kept to 15cm. I was then told that the bras would come with a 16.5 cup width as it corresponds to the size.

    P.S. I intend to finish this review at some point I'm just too angry and frustrated right now.

      ohhh nooooo.
      I took a peak at your picture - such a pretty bra.
      Tbh, it doesn't look terrible from the pictures, but I see what you mean: the wires are too wide on the side (interesting, because I never thought Comexim had an issue with too wide of wires) almost like a small band/large cup Panache bra https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dngwz/ like this one that bustyand posted.
      re: the gore, hmmm, I suppose you could request "lowered gore" but I don't know how that's going to affect the construction of a small band/large cup bra, esp if it's unpadded. (aka, uses less stiff material)
      Do you typically have issues with gores in other brands?

    • 1

      BraOdyssey It seems like a lot of other brands Comexim will change the width of the wires based on the cup size, as I tried some on that were M/N cup, which lined up much better with my inframammary fold.
      Gores don't tend to be an issue tacking only with their width: I'm very close-set.

    • 1

      Hmm, yes. I know WildWolff has a similar shape and wears both Comexim and Ewa Michalak (if you check her profile of bras). I haven't requested a "lowered gore" from Comexim, but I know that is one of the alterations they will do (well, at least one can request it, and hope that it gets done), have you seen this YouTube video re: comexim alterations? https://youtu.be/METoV07IF6A

      anyway, another brand that does well with small band/large cup is Ewa Michalak -they are more expensive, but I know there are at least these two places (maybe there's more?) in the UK one can order them through, https://www.reddit.com/r/PolishBras/comments/qm8cjg/where_to_purchase_ewa_michalak_bras_in_the_uk/

      RedWednesday21 , re: the wires, I've read on bratabase of people requesting *switching the wires out* from different sizes, I can't remember which people have done this though...
      This is an interesting review https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dil8w/ I just came across...this would be the sister size up from what you ordered in the Comexim Victoria? It looks like she requested the gore be only 6cm, and it looks like it worked out for her.

      also, this review https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dijsr/ she requested the wires of a different cup.

      ahh, Comexim. so many different options and alteration requests! Hope that helps!

    • 1

      Thanks for the mention BraOdyssey !
      RedWednesday21 It's a struggle being close set! Especially with small band/large cup. I have yet to find a perfect Comexim fit unfortunately but I have a few that are close (and many that are not). I've seen multiple instances where a lowered gore alteration results in a wider cup, which is one reason I am afraid to order that alteration. I have inner fullness and no separation at all (symmastia), and the best fits I've found at the gore are Ewa Michalak PL and S cuts, although the S cut gets higher in the gore in larger sizes so I recommend checking measurements in your size. Some BMs have a lower gore if you like unlined styles. The S and PL cuts do have very wide strap placement and the PL comes up highest under the arms so it's a compromise I have to make because I have tissue between my breasts, but you may have better luck if you're close set but still have separation. After a while wearing Ewa Michalak my body is used to the straps and higher wing and it no longer bothers me.

    • WildWolff , thank u for responding! You totally didn't have to, but you gave out tons of good infos : )

      RedWednesday21 , some additional thought (not that you asked): to me, the cups look a little tall (or taller than I would prefer) on the sides of your body, I would request the following (if you order again from them): reduced cup height, reduced gore height (even give them a number, like what the other bratabase person did, like 6cm, or whatever), straps moved in, and wires from a smaller cup size??

      I have to add the disclaimer that I've never r/cd alterations from Comexim. so it might also help to ask around.
      Okay, hope that helps.

      I'm so sorry this didn't fit you! Is it unlined or padded? I can't quite tell.

      I’ve had lowered gore on 2 Comexim bras:
      70H - Comexim » Triss 3hc

      70H - Comexim » Hot Chocolate Plunge

      Unsupported, I’m splayed with hidden projection, but supported, that soft and pendulous tissue leans towards being center full and more close set than appears unsupported. I think on my future direct Comexim orders, I will ask for a lowered gore. I can manage with the normal height but sometimes is on the edge of my tissue. Plus, it makes the bra more like a plunge as the plunge can look more like a balconette bra. I’m not sure about the half cups whether to lower it or not. It’s kind of awkward in the Triss but maybe if it was cups and gore lowered then it would be ok. But my Onyks seems ok with the height, I think???

    • I think you can also contact one of the mods on reddit's ABraThatFits. the mods username is xuenylom. she has "custom comexims" in her flair label. Fyi!

    Hasn't set fit

    Ordered this as a 3HC, but got a plunge instead. The cup height is similar to a previously owned 55J Rozalia, which makes me wonder if that one actually had reduced cups.

    Update: I asked Comexim if I could have a coupon code to reorder as a 3HC. They told me to just order and they would refund the cost of the bra (edit: ended up being a partial refund, once the order was shipped)

    Hasn't set fit

    Alterations: reduced cups and straps moved in. Also requested 1cm extra depth at the wire; unsure if it was done.

    Unfortunately—and hilariously—this actually fits worse than my previous Karina, which had reduced cups only. It's almost 1cm less projected. I don't know if moving in the straps causes that much difference, or if my previous Karina just happened to be larger.

    Anyway, if it's helpful, I've found that the unlined bras fit like the padded ones (I've tried the balcony and 3HC). Considering getting this in a 3HC because I'm about over all the alterations I need for the plunges, even though I like the shape more 😂

    The cup width is about the same as the 3HC 55HHs, but the cups are more projected. This fits like the padded plunge.

    I am a 28E/F and have implants with a lot of projection. None of my gores actually tack and I'm starting to think it's just my anatomy. But there are certain bras that come very very close and this is one of them. I sister sized down from a lined Comexim plunge and this actually fit better despite being a 26 band. It's not too tight and tacks better than my 60HH lined plunge.
