So I have another heartbreaker on my hands! I really wish this bra worked for me, because I've been wanting this design for forever! Like every bra in my most recent Comexim order, this one is slightly small in the cups. Unfortunately, because of the design of the longline, this bra goes full nipple hat on me. The gore is too wide and doesn't tack. The wires of the bra float, both because the cups are a bit too shallow and the gore is too wide. So this one is going to be listed. The band of this runs a bit large, coming in at 27 inches stretched. It's cut pretty straight up and down and has three columns of hook and eye clasps. I believe this bra had the straps moved in and the cup height reduced, but I'm not certain. Anyways, my boobs have gotten weirder and now Comexim is a more difficult fit for me.

  It looks nice, I was wondering if they would take the lace down all the way. I think I'd like it more if they had, at least in the center anyway.
  Too bad it doesn't fit well.

• Yeah I thought it would have the lace extended as well. The design is still nice, but it's not quite as nice as I pictured in my head. I don't know what my issue is with Comexim these days. It seems like everything fits weirdly.

  I bet you're right. I bet it's because it's a long line. I think if it were the regular bra it'd fit you better.

  I wonder why they made the gore so much wider on this than they did the Mystic? If they had done it to both I would think it was to aid stability, but it's just the one.

  I'm surprised this is so shallow on you. I think it's definitely because of that long band. And I agree it would have been prettier if the lace had extended down. The way it is with that plain nude bra, it really does look like a regular bra that has a big fat band. Unfortunate, because Poison Ivy (I refuse to spell it wrong LOL) is a stunning bra on its own.

• The beige seems to have a pinkish undertone on these pics - does it in reality? I can't say I have any experience with longlines, but I think I like this bra better in the regular version.

• erispe my poison ivy is totally a neutral beige.

• lcl0706 Mine is neutral, too (the one that used to be yours :)) - that's why I'm asking.

• Mine is fairly pinkish, but stull definitely beige and not peach. It's a really pretty color

• I'm guessing they used a material of a slightly different hue. I actually like the pinkish one.

• I think a part of the problem with the gore is that there is no gore really. Just underwires on a longline. I think they might want to add a reinforced section in between the cups. The cups on Mystic are larger overall and the wires are closer together in the middle and they did sit flat against my skin. That band was a lot tighter though (24.5 inches vs. 27 inches). lcl0706 unfortunately, Geisha in 55HH is the same sort of slightly small shallow on me. The longline structure just exacerbates the issues in the cups.

  Isn't Geisha one of the ones that runs smaller in general though? Like the Basic.

• Does it? I know it runs smaller in the band. I had both in 55J and the basic mostly worked but Geisha was too big.

  I think so, I've read it here and there anyway. About the Basic too, but my 60H was a fairly standard 28F, I felt. So, who knows.

• Thats wonderful :) im so sorry it didnt fit

• bonjourhi Comexim's long lines are actually quite long in comparison to other's I've tried. And they will allow you to customize them (such as choosing a length and the degree of taper). Comexim's plunges are fairly full coverage in construction, especially on me as I'm short-rooted and relatively high set.

  FoxTaylor Thank you! I'm sad too!

  So are all the Comexim you own fitting weirdly or is it just the recent 3???? I wonder if they've changed the design slightly but didn't say anything. Especially since your other longline fit fine but this one has issues.

  pumkinswife of the most recent batch Yoko fits fine and the other two feel shallow and a bit small on me. Actually all three feel a bit small. All of the other reviews of regular Pioson Ivy mention it soft tacking at the gore, so it could be an overall design thing. It's always possible that they did change things though! My other longline is a different cut from this one. It's their plunge cut that has half stretch lace.
