    55M

    Didn't fit

    With a few modifications, this bra fits me well. While waiting for this custom order to be made, I got a 60L - Comexim » Ingrid Half Cup which should be a sister size, but was too small on me, so I was pleasantly surprised that this bra actually fit. However, the cups are WAY too wide at 16.5cm, versus the 14.7cm wide cups on the Ingrid. I found this difference bizarre, considering I had sized down, not up in the band, and it makes sense that someone with a narrower rib cage would need narrower, not wider cups. After a few hours of disappointment, ... I decided to try to bend the wires narrower, which was a success! The wires are still not as narrow as I'd like, but are acceptable. I asked for the straps to be moved in 2cm, but they still are way too wide and in my armpits--next time I'll have to request 3cm. I gambled on requesting a 55 band, because I'm really in between a 55 and 60, but I'm glad I did--the band seems very stretchy, and while it measures 55cm exactly, it stretches to 67cm--a huge difference.

    While the shape of the 3HC holds my soft tissue in better than the Comexim plunges I've tried to date, I'm not sure yet if I love it. Due to the wider, longer wires and taller wings it just feels like there is a lot more bra going on, a feeling I don't prefer. Also, my breasts are pushed out to the sides, making my frame look wider. I think I'll have to wear it a bit to decide how much I like the style, and if I were to re-order I would try to make sure I got narrower cups and reduced wing height.

    I love the color scheme of this bra, and it almost works for nude on me. I was a bit disappointment that the lace didn't extend to the band as it does on some models here on Bratabase, don't know if Comexim changed the design at some point or just got lazy on mine. Its a small thing, but a really nice touch. While I like the peach and gray theme, I would prefer if the back and straps were all one color so that it could read as nude. I realize I'm nitpicking here--overall its a beautiful bra!

    • So pretty!!! But I do agree with you; especially the band would look MUCH better in the same color as the cups.

    • Narrowing the cups helped my half cup fit, too. I was surprised by the width and shallowness. Thankfully, those issues were remedied with a bit of bending, :-) It looks lovely on you!!!

    • I have the Sonia in a plunge cut, and the band is definitely bigger/stretchier than my other 70 bands. It is also a bit wider and shallower than my other plunge bras from them

      Sonia looks gorgeous on you! I'm sorry it didn't work out better. I have a 60HH Sonia which actually feels super tight in the band. It measures the same 67cm streched, and even smaller than yours unstreched. Weird!

      Nml817 yeah, the inconsistencies that result from having a smaller scale manufacturer go along with the benefit of being able to order customized products, I guess. However, it does make it even riskier to order something non-returnable if you never know exactly what you'll get.

    • The cups on my Sonia are incredibly wide on my 50L too. There's no almost no band. The 55J I have is WAY too tiny in the cups but so much narrower I don't get it. While I still need a cup size up in the 50L I just don't get how wide the cups are. It doesn't clasp properly on air.

    • Oh! I love the look of this bra! :) Quick question - does the ribbon at the top show through clothing?

    • It showed up under tight jersey clothing, but it's less noticeable when not under changing room lights haha

    • Thx for your messurements and rewiev!
      I ordered the charme in 60HH but when I see your messurements I would have gone better with a 55L (or K) :/ It makes me a bit nervous now..

    • What size are you usually? I think 55M fits a 26J (I'm usually 26JJ)

    • Well I don't know wright now. Not having any bra that really fits right now.. the bestfitting bras have cup deepth from 22.5 - 24.5 cm..
      This one has 25.4 (so that would be ~1size too big I think?)

      Ah, I don't really know cup depths that well - though a normal 55M would probably be a bit bigger, since I had my one made with cups reduced so I think it makes it a smaller size, if that helps

    • thx yes!

    I bought this from another user to work as a pale nude bra. The color worked nicely, but unfortunately it’s a couple sizes too small in the cup. When I swoop and scoop, I spill out over the top. This bra is a dusky pink with a light gray lace overlay and has dark beige straps. The materials are soft and it seems comfortable, but it’s hard for me to really evaluate the fit since it’s so small for me. The band is stretchy enough that it fits almost like a 60/28 band.
