Well! I knew this probably would not work for me, but it was so lovely, I decided to try anyway.
The gore is 2cms higher than my 3hcs, so it stabs me in the sternum. I have bent the wires forward a bit and that has put a stop to it.
The whole bra is stretchy, band is by far the biggest I have ever received and the straps go nowhere near short enough.
I have a fair bit of empty space and wrinkling fabric at the top of the cups. I am full on top but petite, perhaps a height issue. I do find if I pull the straps tighter, ... most of the space and wrinkling dissapears, but some wrinkling seems to be caused by the second layer of fabric at the cup sides, being bigger than the under layer? it causes a crease, which if I pull back the outer layer a little disappers. Quite hard to describe but see photos. I will stitch tighten this layer by stiching it over, by the wire, and I will shorten the straps.
Even with all the fit issues, I bloody love this bra š The lace and trim are beautiful. It gives a natural shape and would be useful for certain types of clothing.
I had no alterations and but wish I had asked for shorter straps, as previous reviewers of this bra have also found the straps too long.
For reference I am full on top, close set, centre full, projected and have narrow roots.
Edit - I have shrtoned the staps and pulled back some of the lace outer cup and stiched it to the wire casing. Easy to do and whilst the wrinkling and gaping is now mostly gone, I have discovered this bra lacks projection! If I scoop, I end up with a lovely space under my imf.

I love this fabric! It's wonderfully soft and gorgeous. The fit is pretty good, I think. The band is nice and snug and the straps are easily adjusted. The straps are moved in 2 cm, but still just a little in my armpits. Cup height was supposed to be reduced but I'm not sure it was. I got cotton cookie pockets so I can use a cookie in my smaller side to improve fit. The cups are a bit wider than I need, but still better than most bras in this size. I think I'll get lots of wear out of this one.

Thanks! I feel really contained in it to, which I like. Not much jiggle.
Gosh I think I really need this one in my life now.
I'm glad I got this one. It's such a fun, happy print.
I think this bra is quite lovely. The main fabric is dark pink and satiny with a subtle rose pattern. It is accented with beautiful taupe lace and taupe straps. The straps are fully and easily adjustable. It came with 4 rows of 3 hooks, so I appreciate that. The overall fit is pretty good. The band is nicely snug and the cup volume is much better than my 60K. This bra has straps moved in and cookie pockets added, so I suspect this reduces the cup size a bit as compared to an unmodified half cup. It is a 3 part half cup, which is supposed to have better projection than a 2 part cup, but I find it to be a bit wide and shallow. Still a decent fit, though, and pretty comfy. And the cups aren't too tall for me.

I love this bra and it's very pretty on you!
Thanks, April. :)
Wow, so pretty! Canāt believe that itās that wide though! Yikes!
Thanks, Calluna. Yeah, they are wide. I want the narrow cups of the plunge combined with the short halfcups.
This bra was so close to perfect for me, but unfortunately it's too small in the cup. I love the Ingrid fabric, the 3HC design, and the straps moved in 3cm. The gore is also overlapping and there are cookie pockets, neither of which I require but they have no negative effect on the fit for me (these were requested by the previous owner, who made the custom order). The band seems TTS, and is fairly stretchy. When a Comexim plunge fit me on the loose side in a 60L, I figured a 60L half cup would be perfect as I've read they run smaller than the plunge. However, like others have said, I really need to size up in the half cup style.
As sad as it is, I think I'll have to re-home this one and order one size up. Getting closer to finding my perfect fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I love the appearance of this bra so much that this is yet another failed attempt to find a good fit. This one comes with the straps moved in 2cm, everything else is standard. It also has cookie pockets for the correction of asymmetry (cookies not included). The colors are so beautiful and understated, not loud at all. The purple wings, straps, bows and lace trim are all a gorgeous shade of eggplant purple. The inside of the cups is black. It is a truly lovely bra but I need a few more alterations to make it work for me, so I'm listing this one. It is brand new and never been worn, only tried on a few times.

With all Comexim 3HCs, this runs shallower than their plunge cuts. Even with the request of narrower wires than what is usually used for a 60L, which resulted in more projected, deeper cups, I still had trouble filling out the bottom of the cups without constant adjustment. The band was very stretchy, due to the soft wires, which makes me want to consider getting a 55 band in the futureā¦.or perhaps requesting stronger wires? if anyone has details about comexim alterations, please replyhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I also think the shape that the 3Hc gives compared to the plunge is less āgatheredā towards the centre, which ... makes my torso look disproportionately wide compared to the rest of my body. This is especially apparent when wearing clothes. Although I got a very rounded and beautiful shape from this bra, it did widen my silhouette quite a bit.
Also, because this was requested to have cookie pockets, I had first hand experience as to the differences Comexim does their cookie pockets. For the 3HC, it extends through the entire bottom to top of the cup, making asymmetry correction easier while using less padding from the cookies (this happens with my EM bras lol) For the plunges the pockets only extend about 2/3 up the cup so the way one can correct asymmetry or add extra shape differs depending on personal needs.

This bra is so gorgeous yet simple! It manages to be subtly elegant with the lace and smooth knit fabric while being sturdy and seamless under clothing. I asked for them to add the cute Ā«Ā CĀ Ā» charm they offer for other bras, and I adore it! Its also convenient my first initial is a C as wellā¦ https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
However I do feel as if the 60 band is too large on me, I have a 26 inch snug underbust and thought due to a lack of squish a 28/60 would be fine but I have come to regret it. The band is ... extremely stretchy due to the very soft wires (especially compared to other Polish and UK bras). I understand the comfort aspect of this, but the next time, I would probably request much stronger wires and size down in both the cup and the band. The cup is *slightly* too wide on me, but the projection is good, so I feel as if it would be perfect in a 55L. (perhaps with even narrower wires, such as the ones used for a 55K?) Even though with the black colour, which does make this 60L a bit snugger than my other bras of lighter colours, it is still not snug enough to provide the support I like. I have learned that a 60 band in Ewa Michalak is perfect, but a 60 band in Comexim is too large. so, if you are debating on buying something from either company, I hope this helps in terms of picking a size.

This bra is a gorgeous, almost neon pink colour, and I absolutely adore it. This bra has the alteration of stronger wires and the straps moved in, however, they are a bit too moved inwards, compromising the depth and projection of the bra, so the cup fits very small and is not projected enough for me. I will try to re-adjust the straps outwards in my own time, I think 2cm should work great. The stronger wires create a much firmer band which I prefer to Comeximās regular bands/wires. Plus the gore is more closer to tacking with said stronger wires which also improves the level of support. ... Overall, this bra is absolutely beautiful and my favourite colour. The fit is not horrible, the cups are just a bit shallow for me but with a few alterations at home I am sure I can fix it. I do wish, however, that Comexim would make more bras in pink and with girly lace and jewels! I love this colour, and I love pink, but this is an older and discontinued model that I cannot purchase the matching underwear for.

UK 28FF/G. My fit needs: projected, immediately projected, slightly narrow, fob with tall roots (functionally even), very close set, very center full.
Wow, I normally hate the appearance of brakinis but this one is really cute. It fits similar to the 60J tosca that I tried on in which there's very minor gapping near the center and the straps are a little wide set (by like 1-2 cm). The treasure is also a little wide on the sides. I would love to get my own in 60K or 60J so I can get more cleavage and cut the straps to make a halter.

: singing like Jewel: This bra was meant for me, and my breasts were meant for itšš½.
This review is based on fit in my right (bigger) breast.
The gore and cups sit flush against my skin. The cup kinda digs into my underarm fat on my right side. I don't want to loosen the strap (I like a firm fit) and it's not a big deal either. It's only noticeable if I reach forward or lift my arm above my head.
The cup is a bit shallow near the underwire/where the center cup seam is.
It's going to take getting used to wearing a properly, well fitted bra again! I'm not used to seeing my breasts forward and lifted as I've been wearing bralettes a lot lately.

This bra is an exchange from Breakout Bras for the Comexim Lilly. First I ordered a Lilly 30H (65K). Then I exchanged for a 30HH (65L). Turns out I actually need 28 bands. So I decided to exchange for the Andromeda in 28HH (60L) because I loved the print. I think this bra may have worked but the band barely stretched to 26in (65.5cm). I love that the gore was slightly overlapped and I canāt remember the Lilly coming that way. The fabric is a smooth stretchy satiny material but it feels a little loose on on the cups...sort of like it wasnāt stretched enough. But I love the marbled print and the grey and pink. Itās just so pretty! There was a little bit of space in the bottom of the cup and Iām not sure if that was due to the band being too tight? I didnāt have any gapping even on my smaller boob!
Iām going to have to exchange this bra and Iām disappointed because I just love the print!

Gorgeous bra, solidly constructed.
The band is fairly tight, and the plunge is too low for my soft breasts.

Custom 3hc with overlapped gore and 1cm extra depth at the base of the cup.
Band is a little too big but I an a 26. Slight gape on my smaller boob but ok with a foam cookie.
Otherwise fit is amazing and I love it, very sexy black bra.
I love the strappy back, which is a feature I did not realise the bra had.
I think I will be sticking with the 3hc, with extra depth in future.
For reference I am quite projected, centre full and full on top. I do not spill out of this cut even when I bend right over!

This was a freebie from Comexim as I had previously ordered it and it was waaaayyyy too shallow. It was a lovely suprise when I opened my next delivery to find it inside. It had been given the same alterations as the rest of my order so this time it fits perfectly. The extra cup depth seems to have made a massive difference to the fit.
Its a great everyday soft foam bra and it has a pretty trim to perk it up a bit.
The fit is perfect for my centre full and full on top boobs.
Love it

This is a pretty blue bra with light blue, brown/taupe and black swirls- easy to match bottoms with! The cups fit as expected so they fit well but are slightly taller than I need. The band is really stretchy so I need to fasten it on the tightest or second tightest set of hooks. The straps are comfortable and easy to adjust. Overall, it's quite comfy and fits very well. It gives me the narrow, projected profile I love and expect from Comexim plunges.

Looks nice! Is it an older style?
I think so. I got it from Anya.
I got this one to use as an everyday, practical, workhorse bra. I hoped the modifications would make it perfect, and the fit is pretty good, but not perfect. Cups are still wider than I need and the straps are still widely placed and in my armpits a little. The overall cup size is good but there still isn't quite enough projection above the wire so the wires sit about 3/4 inch below my IMF. Compared to my Yellow Bird which I ordered in the same size with the same modifications, it fits similarly but the cups seem a smidge shorter (which is a good thing) and the band is tighter. I can barely get it to stretch to 25". The overall comfort is pretty good except for it eating my armpits and pushing into my ribs as it rides down. Overall, this bra looks good and gives me that 'locked and loaded' feeling that I like.

I ordered an older one that I've always had my eye on. I got the Diane in a 3HC (not a longline) and matching thongs in medium. I hope I like it in person (sometimes pictures can be deceptive). I didn't want the straps on the Aida, and I wanted another padded half cup. I almost ordered the matthiola instead, but changed my mind at the very last minute. I hope the band stretches enough...
Diane is lovely. You will have so many gorgeous prints! I do love a beautiful bra. :)
I keep looking at Matthiola. Thereās so many great prints.
Yeah I've almost ordered it twice now... don't know why I keep on hesitating!
I know why I have. It looks a lot like the Belen with the piping on top and Iām not sure about that part of the fit. Iām worried about it showing through. Maybe if itās got the same mauve lace my Triss has. Or maybe I just need the right size and alterations. The other issue is that I simply donāt wear a lot of light colours. But itās a stupid reason. I do sometimes get worried about a darker colour rubbing off or bleeding onto the light colour. Again, kinda paranoid and not the best reason. The last reason is that I like other ones better. But it doesnāt mean that I dislike it. I still do, but I have to prioritize all my likes. You know?
This bra has the straps moved in and cookie pockets added. With these modifications, the overall fit is like a 60J/K Comexim Plunge, but better. Even though the cups are taller than I need, I can't get any gapping even if I try because the cups close off perfectly on top. I'm not a fan of the extra strong wires, though, as they tend to dig in a bit and cause some discomfort by the end of the day. For some reason, I seem to get a bit of an east/west look with this bra, but it's not bad. I appreciate the narrow cups, great projection and good support this bra gives. And bonus points for the snug band.

This is such a beautiful print. It looks amazing on you. So happy you got a good fit
Glad that you found a good fit!
Thanks, guys!
Wilderness1- I do find that that their plunges fit bigger by a cup size or so. Their plunge cups are narrower and more projected, so they seem to work better with my shape. My next custom Comexim order will be a plunge with reduced cup height, straps moved in and cookie pockets in a 60L.
Interesting, because I think that I would take the same size in both. My 60HH half cup was too small in cup and band so I would likely need a 65HH which is the same size as the 30G Jade plunge I have been testing which fits for all intents and purposes. Cups are a bit tall and the straps are wide (as well as tight band, but thatās not hugely relevant to the cup fit).
Thanks for the feedback Sonya .... I thought they might fit a bit bigger. I'm interested to know how your next order will work out with those alterations.
It really IS such a nice soft and pretty bra. It's so light too. It looks great on you.
