*Edit this is a Comexim 60L not 60J* I recently bought this second hand Comexim Hot Chocolate Plunge Bra Tagged Size 28J (US?) I Purchased It on a second hand app from. Reseller who listed it as fitting like a UK 28G or 28FF. I wear about a 28FF right now after some weight loss. I like Polish bras, I am Petite and Only 4 ft 8 so I also have more narrow shoulders so I like the more narrow wires. This is a Plunge Style which I have always preferred. I am somewhat close set due to my lower fulness but it's not as extreme now that ...I don't have as much upper/centerfullness with my size. I am currently.more FOB and somewhat projected. I just lost weight so and was FOB but also had a lot of center fullness and some upper fullness before. This Bra feels like the exact Bra I needed before. The cup size and height is a little too large now that I have lost weight.I think it was a miscommunication/misinterpretation between the reseller and I about the aprox. UK size, But I am still happy I bought this Bra because When my weight fluctuates up again this will be exactly whT I need I think. The wire width is perfect. The cup heights a little higher now but it's okay. I like how this envelopes my breasts. I don't have much cleavage because it's a little too big. the Band is firm and comfortable and the straps are a good distance apart and thick and supportive and fully adjust. It's a pretty and functional Bra, made up of two pieces wirh another piece across the top. The Gore is comfortable and it does not poke my armpits! It is a very pretty chocolate brown with a reddish pink lace covering that made it very apparent that it was one of their hot chocolate plubge bras. this Bra doesnt not fit me perfectly now but it is still very comfortable. It is more comfortable than my other UK 28GGs I have. So. I plan to keep this bra. I think I need a little less projectio rigbt now, but this is the exact Bra I needed 1 yr ago+ and will need again.

Very short, projected, center full, slightly narrow, even breasts...
Sultry. I feel sultry in this bra. Considering my nickname was "Prudence" for several years, this is an amazing accomplishment for a bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Although this bra shares similarities with the Anna Pardal Hibiscus Half cup, it fits my short roots better because the cup edge is closed. If you like this pattern as much as I do and have tall roots, choose Hibiscus. Fellow shorties, Noir works very well for us.
If you read my 65K Hibiscus review, it may be difficult to believe I prefer Noir's ...design. The ric rac across the cup edge is unique, increases the texture, and beautiful. Noir has a zebra-like lace pattern whereas Hibisus has a leaf and flower pattern. Zebras cause me to swoon. Their patterns are as unique as our fingerprints. Like every other creature on this great planet, zebras are magnificent. Proudly, I wear these stripes.
The 60M 3HC stays in my IMF better than the 65K 3HC. 60M 3HC Noir is a "more immediately projected" 3HC bra. Its cup is slightly wider and deeper than the 65K 3HC Hibiscus and the 60M 3HC Veronique. Taller roots will be happier in Veronique than in Noir, too. Although I don't need a cup wider than 5.5", I need just over 6" of width in Comexim 3HC to compensate for the lack of immediate projection. I fit well in an 80E Ewa Michalak Ch; sister size 65G. But, I need a 60M or 65L to fit all my tissue near the wire in Comexim 3HC. In these sizes, the wing height is marginally too tall. Because I strongly prefer the equal distribution of breast across my chest the 3HC creates, I will suffer the too tall wings.
Exceptional Comexim quality and blissful cotton clouds line the cups. Another Comexim masterpiece...
So glad you found a good fit! Your EM to Comexim sizes are fairly consistent with mine, FYI, although I need a larger size in lined EMs. I've also struggled with too high wings in my comexims, and if I order again I'll definitely request the wings be reduced to a specific height.
@klilly3 I emailed Anna suggesting she would have higher profit margins on a half cup with more immediate projection. I so hope she creates a slightly different pattern. The lined Comexim size dwarfs my lined Ewa Michalak size. Otherwise, like you, ANOTHER alteration.
I purchased this swimsuit top online when I was keeping an eye out for both Polish brand bras, and a fitting black swimsuit top for a 1 day beach get away. I came across this low priced really nice quality Comexim bikini top and snatched it up. It was. Size 60M but I believe the add shared that fit similar to a UK28GG and I wear around a 28G. I hoped the band would fit and not be too tight, but for the price, it was worth trying out. (It was under $15 with shipping, maybe $12?) It came in a couple days and I am so glad ...I got this. I had to find the add and double check, and compared it to tons of other pictures to make sure and I am almost positive this is a Bora Bora top. I wanted to try Polish brands like Comexim, for their narrow wires and projected sizes in a small band and larger cup size and how well constructed they are. I am somewhat petite/curvypetite, I am short with narrow shoulders, my breasts are projected, functionally FOB and a lot of innerfullness when supported and I have narrow roots. I wear about a 286 after losing weight, and for a part of my monthly cycle off my period, I now have a little softer tissue/skin at the top of my breasts.
This top came quickly in great shape,was kind of simple but elegant. It looked kind of like a 3 part half cup with the vertical seams, and like it had enough padding to keep everything smooth under my top but not so much that it was bulky. The cups seemed like they would fit, though I hoped they wouldnt be too large after losing weight especially having one smaller breast. The band looked like it would fit too, but had a clasp in back rather than multiple sets of hooks to adjust it. I was nervous because I thought a 65 band would fit me better when looking before. The clasp and hardware is gold colored and took me a minute to finagle open and closed, and it actually cramped my hand but once I figured it out it was a peace of cake. I somehow hurt myself getting this on for some reason, which again I think was just a me issue. (I am use to clasping a bra/bikini tops with bands too large, so I am still getting use to wearing tops I cant just clasp and pull over my head.) I got up the courage to try it on again and was so happy with it! The band actually fit, I am glad I didn't have a 65 band, and the cups maybe would have fit a little better one cup size smaller (60L) but it was still perfectly fine. It would have fit me even better if I was a few pounds heavier, but it had enough room for my bottom fullness. If I wore it too long the straps and cups slightly rubbed on my armpit area, but not too bad. I like that it kept me lifted without unnecessary push up and for once I wasnt wearing something way too small in the cups, so I wasnt spilling out. The band was comfortable for my back, actually it is more comfortable than some of my bras! The gore was about as tall and wide as I can tolerate, but it wasnt uncomfortable and wasnt digging into my tissues too bad. I have a lot of innerfullness when supported, and in the past I am use to wearing super plunge push up bras, where the gore and wires are never competing for space. I Think overlapping wires would be better. I have asymmetry, and my larger and smaller breast seem to have different roots so I try to be mindful of the gores and wires working enough for both. It wasnt uncomfortable or significant enough to cause much issue though, I still wear it and will continue to do so. I may keep my eye out for either secondhand Polish bras with reduced cup height, overlapping wires, and maybe reduced gore height/straps moved in. The wires were narrow enough for my larger breast but a little too wide on my smaller higher breast, but it wasnt problematic. I felt confident in this swim top and I am so glad I found something that works and I found something to be confident in for my one day "vacation" for the beach/pool. Read more 650 more words
I have never seen a bra with a clasp like that. I would be too nervous that once the bra got broken in it would then be too large as the band stretched. Love to hear feedback on that.. I know you said it was only for a day, so maybe you won't wear it much and it won't be an issue for you.
Gorgeous. Lined, not padded. It's a slate grey base with yellow, soft blue and iridescent (blue/green/silver) embroidered 5, 8, 4 & 3 pointed flowers/leafs, along with an embroidered curling ribbon design of the soft blue. There is a mustard yellow bowtie at the top of the center gore. It seems like it may be a tad deeper at the apex that padded Comexims of similar size, and the straps are set too wide for me (as in every bra), which makes the straps and wings itch some days. Mine does have cookie pockets, the lining is a kind of fine mesh polyester and doesn't feel bad. The texture often shows under shirts, but it's been a while since I've work it out to check just how overt that is. The embroidery does continue partway up the strap and makes the straps only partially adjustable.

This is definitely one of the prettiest bras I own. It's a muted navy with gold, green and blue-grey embroidered flowers. I ordered this thinking it was a padded 3HC, but it's actually a soft cup. I would have ordered it a cup size down if I'd known. While it 'fits', I think it would be a bit more flattering and supportive if it fit a bit snugger. I still like the way it looks and feels, though, and I find it to be more supportive than I expected. It has lovely, substantial straps that are softly brushed on the inside and easily adjustable to about halfway or so.

It’s really pretty but it does looks like it’s a tad too big. Hopefully you can still get some use from it.
Yup- a passable fit on my larger side but definitely too big on my small side. I think an L would have been perfect. Still feels pretty good though. And the pictures don't do it justice. The fabric is stunning in person.
It is pretty, but yeah...I thought it was a padded bra too! I wish they'd put a description next to the bra, even "soft" or "padded". Some of their bras have a description, but most don't.
Yeah, I wish they would do that too!
I did too, initially, until I saw it in the Half Cup and Balconette sections and then saw the Instagram post that said it was soft cup. And I saw the other review here. Do you find the embroidery/appliqués itchy?
No, I don't find it itchy.
Ok. So you would have ordered a smaller size if you had known that it was a soft cup?
Yes, I would have ordered it in the same size as the padded plunges, so a cup size down.
Very Pretty and comfortable. It is however very shallow in the cups. I ordered a 60L and a 60M arrived. Even with the extra cup up, I am spilling out and quadding quite a bit. Its a shame as its a lovely bra. Perhaps as its a 2hc and not a3hc like I thought, this is why it is so shallow. The wire is fine though and the band also.
I would say the Mimi fits a cup size smaller than most Comexim half cups, so this fits more like a 60L/28HH. I like this bra but I get a better fit in the plunges. The half cups are more wide and shallow so I get a bustier look from the front and more flattened look from the side.
This fit me well a few years ago at a larger cup size - slightly wider wires than my Sonia Plunge, and slightly smaller cup: 60M here ~ 60L Sonia. Plastic pieces for conversion to racerback bra unfortunately prone to breaking.

Hard to call this an alteration but this bra has multiway straps, and unfortunately one of the plastic connector pieces broke :(
Very short, projected, even, somewhat narrow, close-set breasts...
The online photos of Veronique had never compelled me to give her a second thought. But, her measurements were beckoning. Thank you, Anya99 !!
Veronique is ADORABLE. Seriously, she causes me to smile https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Pale blue polka dots on a deep navy background wrap around the entire length of the band with vivid salmon lace trim and ribbons. Super cute bra and unique in my bradrobe.
Her band is stretchy as are the navy straps. The fabric is soft and stretchy. This is a very comfortable bra!!
Sadly, to achieve the immediate projection my breasts require, I need a wider Comexim cup. My breasts are somewhat suspended above the wire in these cups. I SO wish this wasn't true because this is a bra I'd love to keep!
Compared to my Audrey in 60M, this has a bit tighter band, and is shallower in the cups. Overall good construction, and makes great "cakes on a plate" cleavage. The beige color is the perfect nude bra for me, though I may need to go up a cup size.
Bought this from another Bratabase user and it definitely whetted my appetite for more Comexims despite being too small in the band and cup. Sizing issues aside, I can tell that this model is ideal for others like me with narrow torsos/shoulders and close-set breasts. Strongly suggest adding cookie pockets to Comexims if making a custom order -- the bra I bought had them and though I never inserted cookies due to already-insufficient cup capacity, I found the pocket material itself ultrasoft and super cozy. The band is snug and a "true" 28, so I'd suggest going for 65 (30) if you're between band sizes.
lemontea How was the immediate projection? I've found the Geisha too shallow at the wire, and I'm trying to more carefully select my next purchase.
DressTheTwins This is one of my bras with less immediate projection. There are some more pictures on my fit request: http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dib2c/ where you can see the wideness of my chest from the front when wearing this bra. Hope this helps :)
Typically wear 28HH, close-set, firm, rounded with even shape. I believe a 60M is about a 28J in UK sizing.
Good in the band and lovely print. The wires are also perfect in their width, even better than Ewa Michalak for me. Comfortably short gore for my close set breasts.
However, the cups do not suit my shape. Initially, the look was great until I realised I had the classic 'orange in a glass' issue. My breast shape is even, so quite full on the bottom and the Comexim padded bras are too shallow at the bottom for me. The cups also come up quite tall which I am not ...used to as I am of average build, and the straps subsequently dig in to my armpit. It is also a real shame that I cannot find a brand that does not make wide straps in these sizes - it makes me wonder if they try them on women of this size.
The cups have collapsed now. I get tissue spilling at the front but also at the center where it is quite open and I naturally possess a lot of tissue around the gore area. I get terrible shape and a lot of weight falls onto my shoulders, causing a lot of back pain. Read more 105 more words

I finally got my Comexim bras in today, a Laura and a Carmen! They're one cup size too big but so beautiful. The Carmen seems to fit a lot like a Freya Deco - the cups are moulded and similarly cavernous. Wires are narrow (like Freya balconettes). It gives a wonderful rounded shape. The lace is soft and I could not see it underneath a tight t-shirt, except where it wrinkled a bit where it was too large for my smaller boob. The band is comfortably tight - firm but stretchy and fits comparably to my other 28 band bras. This bra will fit like a Freya 28H would.
Hi, could you let me know how shiny this bra is? it appears rather shiny-appearing in the stock photo so I wondered how that compared to in real life.. Thanks! X
The pink is shiny satin, the black is lace.
Is it a very obvious shine? Sorry about the questions, I'm just debating over two red lacy bras from different Polish sites
I finally got my Comexim bras in today, a Laura and a Carmen! They're one cup size too big but so beautiful. The Laura fits almost exactly like the Freya balconette I tried last week in 28H that was a cup size too big. Wires are in almost the exact same spot. These give a more rounded shape then Freya does though, and have wider straps. In fact, when I compare the Laura to my 30GG Freya Faye, the cups match up pretty close to exactly (band is obviously much bigger on the Faye). There is a bit of elastic between the front strap and the underwire under my armpit that I'm not sure works well for me, but it is hard to tell due to the fact that the cups are a size too big.
So glad you found a good fit! Your EM to Comexim sizes are fairly consistent with mine, FYI, although I need a larger size in lined EMs. I've also struggled with too high wings in my comexims, and if I order again I'll definitely request the wings be reduced to a specific height.
