After a few wearings, I'm still not sure about this bra.
Aesthetics:
The color is much more brown than I was expecting. The stock photos, and others, have reported that it is a little bit purplish. Nope, mine is just brown. I do like the color and fabric. It has a nice sheen and is soft and comfortable.
There is an odd ruching or wrinkling on the edges of the cups at the armpits. Others don't seem to have this.
Fit:
The cups don't quite lay flat on the top edges, the bra kind of looks like it's eating my frame, and the straps are in my armpits. The band is a wee ...bit big. I feel like this bra stays secure all day but doesn't do a ton for me as far as lift. I haven't tried it on tighter hooks but I feel like maybe I should. The wires are perfect though!
Comfort:
This, and the color, are the reasons why I wear this bra ALL the time. I tend to get wire pain from a lot of bras that have wide wires, and that is totally eliminated with this bra. At the end of the day, the wire marks are perfectly around my tissue and I've forgotten that I'm even wearing a bra. Read more 101 more words
This is my first custom order Comexim and it's literally PERFECT. The shape is so nice and lifted, I fill it out completely with no gapping or quadding anywhere (not even if I move around or lean over), and the band is nice and comfy (I could have maybe gone for a 55 band, but this 60 is snug enough; I also maybe could use the straps moved in 1 more cm but it's not a big deal). And of course the fabric is beautiful and silky and soft, as typical for Comexim.
One small note is that Bratabase lists this as an unpadded 3HC, but it's actually padded ...(and does not include the stretch lace trim that the original balcony plunge does). The bra also came with an overlapped gore -- I didn't specifically order this (no complaints though, it actually works perfectly for me), but I've seen other users mention that their orders also had overlapping gores, so maybe that's standard now? By comparison with other 3HCs in 60D, the cups are about 2cm shorter, so it looks like they do indeed do the reduced cups alteration for 3HCs, at least some of the time.
Anyway that's enough raving for now, time for me to go through the entire Comexim catalog and add 20 more bras to my cart (and then dream about buying them but not actually buy them *sobs*)! Read more 123 more words

Comexim's 'Yoko' is currently the best-fitting bra I own. It ticks all the boxes in terms of fit, aesthetic, and overall experience.
This bra gives insane projection and cleavage (at least for someone as shallow and wide/tall-rooted as I am). It gives me a beautiful shape despite lack of heavy padding - it's a very lightly padded, comfortable foam cup that looks great under tops, blouses and t-shirts. It doesn't cut in on top either (though it's been a while since I got it, and I've noticed an ever-so-slight 'quadboob' on my larger breast lately - may need to size up soon - these cups really are quite shallow!). ... The underwires are comfortable and fit all the right places. The 28'' band runs small (which is great for my 25.5'' underbust - take note if you're a 26'' and struggling to find bands that are snug enough- this may fit you). The aesthetic aspect of this bra is gorgeous, unique and very classy. It is incredibly well-made and there's a retro aura to this model. The matching briefs are a cherry on top!
For reference my shape is narrow, tall, FOT, close-set, and slightly shallow. I think this bra is really lovely. That said you may want to size up and/or order in 3HC style unless you are very shallow. I generally wear 28D and found this to be a bit to wide and compressing for me. The gore is also a little too wide for me, but better than most non-plunges. The band runs a little tighter than most 28s, so this would be a good option for those who are 26 or less.
Your photos display the details fabulously!! Thank you!! I HOPE I find a size that fits me :-)
