So pretty, but didn't quite fit right.

This bra gives a cakes on a plate cleavage that might be very nice on someone with taller roots. On me it looks a little... corset like? Great fit and great uplift if that's what you're looking for, though.

This is the second Ingrid I've owned. The first, from the original run of the bra, had a pretty, larger center bow. The current bras are being produced with a smaller ribbon that matches the strap bows. It's still very pretty but it was kind of disappointing. Still a gorgeous bra and currently my best fit.

When I first bought this (I bought 3 Comexim in the same size), it fit wonderfully and was definitely the most comfortable out of the 3 (the others were Mint Sorbet and Geisha).
I tried it on a few times and loved it at the time. I was around a 32J and it fit really nicely. I often had issues with wide wires, so Comexim was great. Very uplifted, rounded shape. Quality materials that were soft and comfortable to wear. The cups were a little tall, but not overly so.
Unfortunately, though, currently, I am about a 30HH, so it is both too big in the cup and band... and completely unwearable.

Bought this April 2014. I was around a 32J at the time and it fit quite well, as I needed narrow gore, lots of projection, narrow wires and relatively open cups. The cups were a little tall, I think. At the time, I think I could have gone a 70M instead for less coverage.
I looove the colour/print and wish it fit me now. I tried this on a few times but never ended up wearing it out as I preferred unpadded bras (as they made my boobs look smaller).
This doesn't fit anymore though and is way too big in the cups and band.

Purchased in April 2014 along with the same size in Mint Sorbet and Luna.
The Geisha is probably the prettiest of the 3 and my favourite... yet I never got to wear it. I was around a 32J at the time and the Mint Sorbet and Luna fit really well, but the Geisha was quite tight in the band so I didn't reach for it. I had planned on getting an extender while it loosened up.
It is a beautiful bra and I would love it if it were the right size. I've reviewed the other Comexims but I will describe the cut here as ... well. This cut is great for full on top breasts, especially for those needing a narrow gore and narrow wires. The shape is very round and uplifted, no droopy boobs here. The band seems to be angled downwards a little (as opposed to riding up) - I think this gives the bra even more support and is a great feature.
Having said all that, I am now a 30 band, and while the Geisha band is fine, the cups are just way too big so it is unwearable.

Much better than the 65HH (see review, cups were way too large, band much too small, despite a 29" underbust). Gore does not tack at the top (1cm gap) because there is not enough center projection. This may be a cup size too small for me, but on the other hand, I have a bit of gapping by the straps, so I am considering ordering same size with custom straps moved in. My only trepidation is possible quad-boobing that could occur. It is unclear whether the gapping by the straps is due to orange-in-glass effect or straps too far apart. Straps ARE about 1/2 inch too far apart ... for me and also carry too much weight because of the non-tacking gore, but neither issue is a real deterrent. I am in love with the low underarms and narrow underwires, both which are perfect for me and a big relief for my irritated front-of-armpit skin Re: Freya Deco. For that alone, I am thrilled with this bra. Does not show even under stretchy/thin shirts for me. The shape is a lovely hybrid of green-purple: it's up-front and perky without being in-your-face.
The shape is a hearty improvement on my Panache Envy and Jasmine, which were too down-and-out and caused gapes between buttons on my button-down blouses. The Comexim Basic does not do that. I think if I could go back and do it again, I may have ordered from the U.S. vendor Wellfitting to save time (because I ordered a different size and then had to exchange, the process of acquiring this took~6 weeks), but the total cost of ordering direct vs. U.S. was probably the same.
Also an interesting side-note: the straps on this size had lace detailing all along their front, while the 65HH had plain straps. You can still adjust the straps over the detailing. I think the detailing actually provides a little extra stability (because they stitched it on), which I find nice, as the undetailed straps were overly stretchy, which also felt a little cheap. Also interesting, the detailing on mine is lace, NOT the looped thread pictured on the photo that someone uploaded for this size (I guess Comexim just uses what they have in stock).

Okay, I'm pretty decided on ordering 70H with reduced cups and straps moved in
Nah, just moving straps in on 70G. Wow, bra-fitting is driving me nuts!!
As I've worn this more, I've had to tighten the straps, and it's clear these cups are too small.
This is a good bra, I just don't love it as much as my Cleos or Ewas. The shape is nice and round, but I've learned that I just prefer a more uplifted, projected shape.

Heartbroken this bra doesn't fit me very well.
The band is firm -- I'd estimate it as about a loose 28/tight 30. I think for me I'd be happier in a 70 band from Comexim.
The cup volume appears right for me (30F), but the shape doesn't quite match mine: it's shallow at the base and gore, where I need immediate projection, which pushes my breasts up where they promptly encounter a too-closed top edge. I suspect I might need a 70G/H.

This bra is absolutely beautiful! It's even prettier in person! I'm so sad it doesn't fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I'm not sure why I keep having problems with Comexim, but it's making it hard to pinpoint my size. I first tried the Snow in a 60HH, and tho it was also too small, it seemed to fit better in the cups than the Brigitte. I'm not sure what the problem is exactly. But I wish I could figure it out!!
I love the tightness of this band! I was able to hook it easily on the first, loosest set of hooks, which is very ... unusual for me and my 26" underbust! The material is like silky satin, very soft and comfy. I just love all the little details on this bra, like the frilly lace around the bottom of the entire bra, and the striped straps near the cups, the cute little pink satin bows, and the pink satin ribbon outlining the edge of the cups. Ok, I'll stop. This bra is just so darn pretty!!! And if you can get it to work for you, well, I'm very jealous, and it's worth every penny!! Lol!! I think I might need to try this bra without any alterations to the gore. I normally do best with plunge styles and always ask for a lowered gore but it seems to be the opposite with these Polish bras. I had a similar fit issue with my EM PL Blekitna Rapsodia, where the cups seemed to come to a point and there was some empty fabric near the top outside. I think it has a lot to do with the gore height and cup position. Because I do really well with the EM CHP style. So I'm assuming the same must be true with Comexim. But I might just have to ask for some fitting help.

Hi SmallBandBella! Have you considered going up a cup size? It looks like you still have some quadding in this. The lower gore that you had customized actually gives you more room for center projection than a normal gore would. Based on that, I would be hesitant to ask for a normal gore in this cup size, because I think it will give you less room for center projection than you need. Do you have any empty space at the side of the cup or do you get gaping by the straps at all?
Wow. Thank you so much for your help!! I actually do have some empty space at the outer top of the cups by the straps, they look very pointy cuz I can't fill the cup out, it's positioned weird or something. I really do think the gore height has a lot to do with it. I feel like it's too small in the cup (quad boobing) yet I can't fill them out. I think if maybe the gore was unaltered and the bra was more of a balconette style it would fit better (which is very unusual for me cuz I do best with plunges).
Happy to try to help! Hmm, spillage, gaping by the straps, empty space at the nipple area (is that what you meant?)? Almost sounds like orange-in-a-glass effect. Maybe a cup size up with normal gore, possibly with straps moved in? I agree that a lower gore could be part of the problem - I have a comexim basic and need more room for forward projection toward the center, but I'm hesitant to go lower gore because I feel like it just hinders the stability of the bra, you know? Hope you find something that works!
Aw thank you :) I also have the Snow in a 60HH and tho it's also too small the fit is much better and the gore is higher (I actually asked for a lower gore but I don't think it was altered). And the empty space I'm getting on the Brigitte is above my nipple on the outer part of the cup, kind of right where the seam is, it's creating a pointy cup. It's hard to explain but I took a pic of it. Maybe I'll try adding it to show where I mean. But I agree, if I decide to give Comexim one last shot, I'll leave the gore alone. The straps were taken in 2cm on this (I bought it off the original owner who had the same alterations I always ask for, lowered gore, straps taken in and 3 hooks). I really want a Basic! But I have no clue what size to get!! Lol!
Entry closed
This bra has several alterations done, the gore is lowered, the cup height reduced and 3 hooks and eyes versus the standard 2.
The inside of the cups are covered in that soft cotton that feels so nice against my very sensitive skin. The cups are covered in this yellow- beige vintage inspired rose floral print. It is absolutely beautiful and makes me feel like so sweet and innocent. I do plan on using this bra as a "nude" bra for myself as the pattern does not really show through even through the lightest of my shirts.

This bra has several alterations done, the gore is lowered, the cup height reduced and 3 hooks and eyes versus the standard 2. The inside of the cups are covered in that soft cotton that Comexim is typically known for. The cups are a pale shiny gold color, with a soft matte forest green lace covering the cups, a Victoria's Secret inspired look but at least to me a much more grown up and sophisticated version.
Now in terms of fit, the gore is still too high for my very close set breasts, I have no space between my breasts. The wires are only a smidgen to wide ... but I can tolerate that. The cups are very open as they do not have any detailing alone the outer edge of the cup, which works very nicely with my full on top breasts. Overall the cups are much too small for me as the UK equivalent of this bra is approximately a 28HH. I have enough quad boob where I should size up to a 60N. The Even though it does not properly fit I will still keep it is such a beautiful and still comfortable bra.

I love this bra so much! Especially on the model. But i saw some photos of it in larger sizes and i feel like the lace seems really overpowering! It just didnt have the same affect on me as it did on their site. I also wonder how much that dark green lace shows through clothes!
This bra is stunning, the fabric is an intricate pink satin with a dark grey/black print. The band is a lovely lace design that gives the bra a sweet unique style. The straps are 2 toned pink satin with 2 thin black stripes and just the right amount of stretch.
I only wish it fit...it's way too small for me in the cup. I would say the Brigitte runs small in general . I have quite a bit of spillage along the cup and just a little near the sides. After having it on for a few minutes I experienced even more ... of a quadboob affect. So, I sadly took it off and put it back in it's box. I ordered the bra with a lowered gore and straps moved in 2 cm but after measuring it and speaking to Comexim I believe the cups were reduced as well. The band is very nice, just stretches to 27 inches and has a nice comfortable amount of give so it's pretty perfect for my underbust measurement of 26.8 inches. The shoulder straps are very comfortable as well. I will be reordering this beautiful bra in a larger size...I can't stop thinking about just how pretty it is and I can't live without it in my collection.

You can order in English :) It just helps using Google translate. Mine only took a week to reach me after they were made.
Well the pictures are deceiving then lol. I did look through the measurements on the table and all of them seemed too narrow. By the time the cups got wide enough, they were far too deep. Darn. Gorgeous. 28FF is usually the first size I look for but no way would this particular one work for me.
Wow SiliconeJulie...so lucky it got to you so fast! I am very jealous. I did write in both languages in case google translate messed up my requests. I think the hardest part is trying to figure out sizing since I am so used to wearing Victoria Secret bras that don't really fit at all. It's very straight forward ordering though just pick your size and checkout :)
Hey! Will you be returning this bra or are you planning on listing it? I would be very interested in taking it of your hands.
I am going to list it for sale Jannie :)

Gorgeous fabric, feels like a silky smooth jersey material. Cups are restrictive at the top due to pink ribbon. Strap hardware is a complimentary black, straps are lightly stretchy but NOT fully adjustable. Pretty netted lace lines the bottom edge, adds a finishing touch to a very feminine bra.

The cup fabric isn't quite what I expected. Online photos are more subdued, this fabric has a bit more going on. Bag round fabric is a dark blue, but there is a swirl design overlay that is brighter in person than what you see in online photos. Black band, runs firm but will stretch more after the wires begin to distort.
Straps, black, fully adjustable and no stretchy.
Bra finishes with some pretty and basi black bows.

Gorgeous cream fabric over a dark brown. But small! The band is as you would expect, as a 60cm not as you'd expect as a 28 band. Bra is labeled a 60K/28H.
Thin straps of aloghtky stretchy material.
Cups more closed at the top due to ribbon detail.
Gore has pink bow, which is cute and complimentary without overdoing and shadowing the lace.

Reduced cup, lowered gore, straps moved in 2cm.
Beautiful bra. The patterned fabric on the wings is a floral and compliments the cup fabric nicely.
Stretchy band, the band will continue to stretch easily after the wires start to distort.
Fully adjustable straps made from a non-stretchy material.

The band runs tight on this model. I can only stretch it to 31 inches without damaging it, so it's more like a 65/30 band.
I really wanted this bra to work, but I have to admit now that it's just not close enough. In fact, I'm now doubting whether any @Comexim bras will fit me, which is a shame because I thought this brand would be everything I wanted: pretty designs; the perfect amount of padding; and soft, non-painful wires.
When I first got it, the gore didn't tack at all, and the cups gaped. Bending the gore slightly towards me helped with both of these problems. ... The gore now lightly touches, and the slight gaping in the cups is acceptable.
Now for the unfixable problems.
These cups are simply too tall on my high-set breasts to be a half-cup. As someone pointed out in my fit check, it might as well be a plunge. I would be okay with this, but the fact that the bra doesn't fit as designed comes with some other problems.
As with most bras I try, the sides come up way too high, which means the wires yet again poke me under my armpits. I'm starting to get frustrated that this happens with nearly every bra I try, but for some reason I didn't anticipate it being an issue with Comexim. *sigh*
A few people have suggested reduced cups, and I really want to try this, but with the challenge of the language barrier and what I've heard about the unreliability of Polish post makes me reluctant. (By the way, if anyone has any reduced cup Comexim bras in this size range that they want to get rid of, my inbox is open.)
As for the appearance, it is a very pretty bra, and although I have to admit the lace pattern isn't my favorite, it is growing on me. The seafoam green color is beautiful.

She doesnt have them physically up in her online store or anything. But you just email her what you want and the details of size and alterations! :) Well that would be awesome if it is possible! I will have to ask for my next order! Definitely very similar problems! Im glad i am not alone :) I recently was told that you could specify no more than x cms here or there. They are willing to do almost anything! Even a J-hook! I am currently trying to figure out how youd ask for that one ;) I have that absolute same strap problem with ANY bra ive ever tried! I always tell people i wear them like this / \ rather than | | haha. Moving them in should help! You can even specify a certain amount too. I will go with 2 cms next time i think. I will likely go other routes than Wellfitting too due to the mark up and limited selection. But i wanted to try a demi and they seem to take less time than any of the other methods (my email said up to 4 weeks from ordering for it to GET to me but usually arrives in only 2 weeks). Thats a pretty incredible speed! Maybe thats the reason for the price hike? I dont know im just sort of lost in the sea of bra problems right now haha :D I think you might be right there with me though :p
I'm also pretty much giving up in Comexim. The cups are way too tall.
uniteacher have you tried ordering with reduced cups? In my size, reduced still isnt really reduced enough for me. Not to be a perfect fit at least. But ive been told you can be more specific about the height. Another user told me Comexim was looking for feedback lately and hoping to go a different route with their bras (at least in the larger sizes). So maybe eventually they will be better suited for you!
Yeah. I'm going to try. Another issue I had was with the thongs. They're sewn together exactly in the middle instead of 2/3 back like EM. I'm guessing there's a learning curve. I might wait until they've gotten more feedback and make some changes. I'm just wary about getting a custom made bra that I can't return if it doesn't fit.
Oh no i just ordered one recently! Yikes! Well they are asking for feedback here: http://sophisticatedpair.com/blog/?p=16039
Couldnt believe the timing of the article! It was brought to my attention right after i had posted to you!
I have considered custom ordering a second one with straps moved in, but as I already don't get enough projection in this bra as-is, I don't want to lose cup space in the middle. Some have said a lower gore can enhance projection next to the gore, but I'm not willing to sacrifice any stability, since my breasts are heavy*! (*have no idea how heavy my breasts are compared to other women, I just know they are a lot of weight on my frame!)
