I typically wear a 30E/32DD, so I purchased this in a 70F (it was the only thing close to my size) fully expecting to have to have a lot of alterations done. My chest is tall, wide, slightly shallow on top and full on the center and sizes. I noticed on the reviews, that people mentioned the top portion of the bra was rather shallow, which is precisely what I what I wanted. I am actually surprised at how it fits. It is not as massive on me as I thought it would be, and I don't believe I will have to make as many alterations. I am considering putting a cookie in the cup of the smaller breast and its gaps a little when I slouch. The fabric is quite rich and comfortable and its brown!! (I love finding brown bras!) I also adore the butterfly cameo in the center of it.
70F is Comexim's equivalent of 32E and given how they scale their cups up in smaller increments than most UK bras, this is the exact size I would have told you to start with when trying their bras.
Sonya Thank you so much! lcl0706 Ah good to know! And to think I was thinking it was going to be massive on me! Good to know! Should I look at the same size in Ewa's?
After reading this EmmaOh I think this bra would fit you marvelously: http://bra.pe/XYKv/ . You may need an extender till it loosens up a bit, but I was pretty conservative in my stretched band measurement.
LeProfessor AH! thank you for the recommendation!! I may take you up on that!! Where is the best place to get an extender? I was thinking Amazon.
I would have to agree with that! Amazon seems to be the cheapest and quickest way to get such things. I also recently figured out that an extender can be used to make a band smaller as well. Atleast for a bit of quick fix, you can hand sew/tack on the extender next to the eyehooks that are already on and have like 6 columns of eyes hooks to use!
Ive got it with straps moved in 2cm and 2 layers of fabric on the band in order to be more stable. I took this bra in my usual padded Comexim size without any alteration, so as a soft bra with alterations fits me well.
Firstly, the band is on the tighter side of Comexims in 70 (most of my directly ordered Comexims measures around 75cm and this one is only 73), as usually ...I can wear without extender and with this one I need 1 extra set of eyes but also its possible to wear it without - but just for more comfort i prefer with. The cup depth is good as the moved in straps made it more closed so it fits me perfect, even on the smaller side, theres not much wrinkling as it usualy happens with soft bras! Straps are perfect - fully adjustable but with this horrible and hard fabric that is hard to adjust (yup, I forgot to order the soft one..). They are perfect under tank tops as dont show The wings unfortunately are little too high and bother me more than in my Veronique. They may get softer after couple of washes. Theres no wow effect in it unfortunately. Even 70E - Comexim » Sharon (366) gives me better cleavage. It gives nice rounded but natural shape from the side, but from the front its just there. It doesnt move my boobs to the middle much. Maybe for someone with boobs that are close set will work better. However, its comfy and as mentioned before light so Im going to keep it for summer (if there will be sumer at all..).
The style looks like mixture of Ewa Michalak 3DM and SM as I remember having both mgielkas and this is like child of them https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
Overall I think is worth ordering to try it but for me I'd love to see another soft halfcup..
The Eve full cup has the softest straps I've ever experienced. You may love them! :-) :-) Thank you for your review. I hope to order Naomi, too.
Love4Pollinators some of my Comexims has the same straps and I do love them :) but thanks! and good luck with your Naomi :)
This is a really useful review for me. I'm keen to try some unlined Comexims but really didn't have a clue what size might fit me (still waiting for my reordered plunge), but this, along with the measurements, helps a lot. Thanks!
alexad with my first unlined I got recommendation from Joanna and Anna to size down and it was quite good - only small quadboobs. With this one and greater experience with Comexim I decided to move straps in and I knew that this will make the bra smaller so I took my standard size :) Maybe you should try same way as I did?
Just as I was in the process of comparing the sizes on the Comexim Onyks and deciding what size to keep and what size to return to Breakout Bras, I was looking at what I might possibly be able to exchange the return for. And I hit the jackpot with a number of Comexims being put on clearance. HOWEVER, there was not a huge selection available in my current size.
I spotted this Megan in 32E/70F and decided to email the customer service to see if they could enlighten me on how this fits, and I sent a clip of how the 65HH - Comexim » ...Scottie (648) is fitting me currently, as I had confirmed that both of them were the same kind of plunge cut, which is to say that they are even less plunge like than the classic ones are and is probably more like a balconette. I asked about the band and stated that I have historically gone with 70 bands in my Polish bras because they feel more like a 30 band, and the 65 bands are often too tight, despite my snug under bust measurement being closer to 28” (was 28.5” and now is 27.5”) because it is a little bit sensitive. The only 65 bands I have done have been stretchy or with an extender. They basically said that it was definitely not as stretchy as the Onyks, nor as tight as the Basic. So I could probably do a 65 or a 70, only with the latter, it might not be quite snug enough and I might wear through it quicker. But for $21 that was not a problem for me, so I confirmed that I was probably going to be ok with the cup size, although I was nervous because it was 2 cups smaller than what I had been getting. Still, I had to try it out for the price. This would also help me with my sizing and figuring out what to order from Comexim directly, and if I still needed alterations. I grabbed the bottoms in the large because there was no medium and I was concerned about the small being too small, especially for a high waisted style. Easier to alter if too big.
Oh my beautiful humans, I picked right!! Oh my word am I so happy and impressed! I admit that I was not initially super excited about this style until I saw other people review it like Sonya and learned that the stripes were copper and not orange. And I never realized that it had a bit of mesh and lace on the cups as well. As I wear the set, I have to say that I kind of get a 50s sci-fi vibe, and I ain’t mad about it! Ha ha!
I’m currently measuring about a 28F/28FF but 30 bands are usually more comfortable so 30E/F. I have lost a lot of upper fullness with my weight loss, and I didn’t even have much when I was 30F/FF, but it was more than now. I think I am still technically even, but just not very full vertically anywhere. I have soft tissue that is center full and pendulous, and I need narrow cups with lots of immediate depth at the wire to manage my projection. Because of all of this, I am functionally short rooted and fob.
So the fit of the band is actually pretty good. I might have been able to do a 30F/65G but I think I might have needed to use an extender initially. I should note that the straps are not adjusted in the pictures, as I tend to try on as is out of the package initially and then decide if I need to adjust them. In this case I think I might need to cinch them up a touch. They’re comfortable at this length but might be a little bit too loose.
The cups are a great width and depth, and not too tall either. I was advised to size down a little because of my soft tissue, and I think it’s the right decision; I was nervous about it being too shallow at the wire though. I have not worn it long enough yet to see, but I think it’s projected enough at the wire. That said, I think I could probably stand to get a little more depth at the center with perhaps an overlapping gore, and I am curious what the fit would be like if it was 1cm shorter as well.
I’m not sure about the straps. They feel comfortable, and I think they are ok, but looking at the pictures makes me feel like I could probably still have them nudged in a cm still. I’m not sure. I’d prefer to stick with as few alterations as possible.
The bottoms are definitely better in the large vs the small I could have ordered. The leg hole elastic is a little snug as is common for most Comexim bottoms, but it’s a little looser at the waist. I could possibly get them altered and have looser elastic used but I think for $10, I might leave them as is. The medium size is probably the size I needed but it’s a perfectly fine fit as is.
When I was once not a super huge fan of this model, I have completely come around on it. Do you love it as much as I do? Read more 814 more words
oh man, I feel like Comexim designs - they never disappoint. They never disappoint!! Thanks for the pictures, sooooo much detail that I didn't pick up on before - but really pretty. Looks awesome as a set! (I'm totally not a set person, but I might be turning myself into one - from all these bratabase postings, haha) Looks adorable!
So true, BraOdyssey ! I have a massive want list for Comexim. And yes, I feel the same way with the detailed pictures because I wasn’t initially sold on it by the pictures on the site; it was through the reviews that I decided to try it.
I love sets. Or at least something that coordinates. Nice thing about this one is that it will work for any black bottoms, I think.
Thanks Wilderness1 ! I’m so happy! And this is a completely unaltered set!
This style looks so much nicer in your pics than the stock photos from Comexim! And $21, what a deal!
You're making me want this set now!! It looks perfect on you, great choice! So BoB actually let you exchange the onyks for this?
ComeAtMe_Bra right? I was totally not really into it from the website pictures. I came back here to check out reviews and fit and came across Sonya ’s review and was like, I think I might like it after all. And yes, for that price, it was fine. I desperately need more bras for my current size.
marilynne no, I actually bought it separately because I was worried about it selling out so fast. I knew that I would either sell or get a refund for the other Onyks. And since you love Queen of Hearts so much, go for it. But remember it is cut like Scottie.
Oh, then I may need it in a 60M then, I'll have to order it direct from comexim.
Great review, Calluna ! What a find!
Thanks everyone! I’m curious about the possibility of alterations. This does fit great as is, but curious if it might be even better with straps moved in 1cm and gore lowered 1cm with either the gore also narrowed for more depth there or just 1cm added depth at the wire. I do feel like it’s a titch shallow at the gore.
Calluna , hey I didn't realize that if I write a review on Breakout Bras website, I get 21 points (towards my "loyalty points" or whatever)
so, I'm going to go back and write reviews for ALLL the bras I've bought from them #earn my rewards.
BraOdyssey whoa! Thanks!!! I have only gotten 2 bras from them so far, but I’m definitely going to write some reviews!!
Calluna , some of them I returned, but I'm still going to review them!
I did the Onyks, the Megan bra, and the Megan underwear. The site says it’s 300+ words and up to 3 reviews a month, so I got 30 points. Whee!
BraOdyssey thanks for that tip, I had no idea! I’ll be heading over to write some reviews :)
Thanks Calluna for such a helpful and detailed review! It looks great on you. Your review makes me want to get one of these now as I’m similarly shaped i.e. shallow short upper tissue but need lots of immediate projection etc. Hmmm….I’m gonna check and see if they have any left :)
I added a few more pictures to show the wrinkles at the gore. Not sure if it’s due to the cups being folded in on each other for shipping or if it is a result of it being too shallow there for my center full tissue.
If it’s comfortable then I wouldn’t worry about the wrinkles at the centre. I find that when a bra doesn’t have enough room at the centre I feel uncomfortable right away and the gore gets wonky
So this beauty just arrived! I've ordered it on 5th of May so in 11days including shipping it's really quick! Well done Comexim!! I thought that they will say no as its bra available through Bra obsessed only but I forgot that Comexim will do everything to make their customers feel special and happy. I got this as a standard plunge but with cookie pockets and straps moved in. Obviously the band is tighter than usual bras and is bit on the tight side for me but bigger size would be too loose. The gore doesn't bother me but I think slightly lower would be better. Cups.. ...They're like half size too small on bigger side and almost perfect on smaller side. I believe this is due straps moved in and maybe this thin layer of cookie pockets. Also the cups feels like lower coverage comparing to normal bras. The straps are good set thanks to be moved in but they're on the long side for me, I need to tighten them fully and it's okay, but I'd prefer shorter. Overall I love the marine print! It's so gorgeous but if the little ribbon between would be red I'd die for it! I'm thinking to get this in 70G with straps moved in, cookie pockets and lowered gore but I'm worrying that it would be too big :/ Anyone has tried Comexim under water? Is it better to have little bobbling rather than go for perfectly fitted with cookies? Read more 142 more words
That's adorable! And I agree with you on a red bow, instead of the blue. :)
Yes the red one would be so cute! also ive send couple of questions to Joanna and im thinking to reorder it in bigger size and just wear it with cookies in case of :)
I guess the first review on Bratabase! So... The bra looks amazing! every detail, every piece of fabric, eyelash style and the 'C' between cups - love it! The band is so soft and comfortable! Also the straps are fully adjustable. Although, I've seen review of Sonia and i have the same issue with too wide wires (its not that big as was lcl0706 in Sonia but still, would prefer more narrow). Also the band is quite stretchy (I've requested 4x2, and easily can close on no2-3). I think to reorder it in Sonia style with 2 vertical seams and ask if they could work out for me narrower wires.
Oooh I'm so excited for mine to get here!! I asked Anna about narrower wires & she just told me to size down. I'm the Sonia with the wide wires. But I think the Sonia has enough extra space I'll be ok in a size smaller in the Victoria. I'll let you know how it works out!
Yes that's you ! Sorry I was just too tired to find you :) For me I'm not sure if I could as there's not much this empty space but enough to annoy me :) will wait for you probably to see if this worked for you and then decide.
So I looked at your pictures and yours definitely is a single seam pattern, and mine is a 2 seamed pattern like Sonia. So weird!
Yes, my one was with single. But now I've sent it back and want to get Rose in plunge :)
Beautiful bra the stock photos don't do it any justice, the lace blends with the mesh much more nicely than it appears in photos. I ordered a 70F based on the fit of another unlined 3HC, and this one is too small. It does have an overlapping gore which I didn't request. I also ordered in a balcony/plunge style in a 70F and it's a better fit.
I bought it as a previously used in great condition. This bra is worth every penny I spent on it. When I saw it at the first time I was almost sure that it will be way too big and I was wrong! Fitting is not 100% perfect (I need like 1/3 size smaller), but is so comfortable!I had it yesterday for few hours and did not have to fix it at all. Even the fact I'm more used to looser bands as Gossards, I found this one really nice. The cups are thin and soft inside. The central gore - fits nice and do not hurts my ...skin, although would rather prefer have it lower for better effectshttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. I have pale skin, but this bra don't show under light shirts and tops, even its like something between nude and caramel. But finally the straps.. first time I didn't have to put them back, they were in the place at all the time! Cannot wait my Geisha, Basic and Mascotte that are waiting for me back home!

When I received this bra I was extremely disappointed. The outer fabric was absolutely cut too big for the cup and was bunching in every direction. The band was a little loose for me but that's fine for most days when I don't need a lot of support. It is frustrating that with Comexim in particular I can never anticipate the correct band length to order because every one is different. I have a 65 that is too large, a 65 that is way too small, this 70 that is a little too large, and I had a 75 that was fine. The ...cups and gore are always consistent though, and perfect for me, so I live with bra extenders and doing minor band alterations when necessary.
The pros: interior construction was all perfect, the cup fit perfectly for my even to FoT breasts, the gore is narrow enough for my extremely close set positioning, and the width and length of the wire is a perfect perimeter to my shape. The cons: poor cutting for outer fabric on cups, unpredictable band length
After several years of just accepting bunchy bra showing through even thick clothes, I saw the material in the band starting to wear away and decided to take a chance on finally fixing the cups, as I wouldn't be that sad if I screwed up a dying bra, and I'd feel better about getting a replacement if I knew I could fix this in the future. I am so pleased with the results, I wish I had done it much sooner. Read more 158 more words
The Angel looks so much nicer in person, although I think I might prefer the look of it as a 3HC, but my 3HC didn't fit. The balcony plunge version fits quite well and is very comfortable. It is a great nude for fair skin too. I did size down a cup volume from my padded Comexim size since I was told they couldn't do reduced cup on unlined bras and because I have a Coco in a sister size that fits well in a smaller cup volume. The 70F fits well, but I could probably use the extra depth of a 70G, but without a reduced cup it would most likely be too big. The lace does close off the cup a bit and it doesn't have any stretch too it, it's not really an issue for me, I can kind of see where the cup edge pushes down on tissue a bit, but it's really not even bubbling. If you are rather FOT though you might want to size up.
These are both beautiful on you!! It is stunning the size variation from Coco to Angel 3HC! Yikes. You are brave!! I wish I wore your size: these comparisons are intensely helpful!!
Thank you moriko for the transfer! These cups fit me perfectly minus slight gapping up top for my cup size smaller boob. The band is too big but that's to be expected and I'll definitely wear this with a rixie clip.
Me: tall roots reaching collarbone, very close-set (touching), average to narrow width, shallow, splayed east-west, FOT or even (unsure), centre-full horizontally (for this reason I don't usually wear plunges), high set, short torso, broad shoulders, size asymmetry. Measurements: 26" snug UB and 34" leaning bust.
This is a rather shallow plunge bra. Its effect on my boobs is best described as "minimizing". Rather than bringing them to the front centered (as Ewa's PLs or 3Ds do), it's spreading them out on the ribcage, while creating some sort of "squeezed" cleavage (tbh, it rather looks like "this bra is slightly too small/shallow").
On the other hand, the cups are high and wide while their top is rather closed, so it's cutting in slightly. It's not a dealbreaker, but the center gore isn't tacking as firmly as it should. (As I mentioned before, this bra looks like it's half a cup size too small for me, but ...sizing up would not be an option, as the cups would end up too high and way too wide. The straps are already threateningly close to my armpits right now.)
Apart from the fit issues, I'm not too impressed with the quality. I've had this bra for a little less than 6 months now, worn infrequently, and there's already some white spandex fibers sticking out of the band. I didn't expect a bra to deteriorate that quickly - in especially if it's hand made, and always hand washed and air dried. Also, mind that the fabric loses color even when washed cold, so always wash separately or with darker bras. Read more 108 more words
Interesting review, bracrastination ! I didn't realize a Comexim plunge could have that problem of cutting in. I always think of that as a UK plunge bra problem. Thanks for the heads up!
Interesting. I have this bra and it does seem to run smaller, although the measurements are virtually identical to my other Comexim plunges in the same size. The only difference is the wire width. I haven't washed it yet, so thanks for the heads up. For the first time ever I had a bra run dye when hand washed cold and it was a Comexim, so now I'm paranoid when I wash them.
Wonder if this is the same cut as Pantera? I found Pantera to be more shallow than other Comexim bras and quads a little bit but it gives me the best cleavage ever.
wild_muses hmm, I thought maybe Pantera tended to quad because of the piped edge.
Following up on my last comment, I measured my Veronique again and the depth and height are the same as my other bras, yet it "feels" smaller on. Wires are maybe 1/4 inch narrower. Yet it feels half a cup smaller. Thing is, it's my best fitting bra (no strap gap or gaping, all my other Comexims tagged the same size have empty space) and I have no idea how to order another plunge the same size now ...!
letstalkaboutbras that too, but it's also significantly shallower than my other comexims.
This is the only one padded plunge that is fully workable under white tops and shirts for me. It is typical Comexim plunge and has cream lace on top of the beige fabric. The older Comexims feels somehow different to the new ones. I dont know how its changed but the new ones give me cleavage rather than being full coverage bras. The bra fits me in cups, but it gives me tiny bit of gapping that probably could be reduced when Ill adjust the straps. The straps are same as Rita, feels good, but I prefer narrower to be able to hide them under tank tops. They ...are fully adjustable. Wires are quite narrow, perfect in 13cm width - so nothing to complain about! Band is made of two layers of fabric, bit stretchy but stays in a place. Definietly much better than my Sonia with 1 layer of fabric that is freaky stretchy! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The sides of are bit tall, however the band beautifully lays on my body without digging in like some other bras that has low band and sides. It doesnt bother me at all comparing to Naomi that leaves marks, but this is made somehow different and its not as big problem.
And I agree that the new ones feel different than the old ones! I'm kind of disappointed by it. I preferred the more full coverage feel of the older ones
I'm the opposite RebelGrrrrl , I prefer the new cuts with cleavage :)
This is beautiful! I'm in desperate need of a good works-with-white-shirts Comexim. Is it a new fabric? I'm not seeing it on the website.
jukejointjezebel thats old collection - maybe elena, ginger or basic would work?
martka00 Ah, thanks! I was hoping it was new. I've got all three of those on my "to try" list. I just loved the fabric on the magic.
for me, Id prefer to have ginger instead :) Im not a fan of this fabric - feels too mature for me :)
Well, this bra wasnt on my Comexim's wishlist, however when it showed up for sale I decided to give it a go as it made in 3HC - that is like a lottery (one time you get narrow wires, another time wide ones - like my Rose and Veronique). I think, this bra looks better on its stock pics as a low plunge - it is probably more sexy. Dont get me wrong, that this bra is ugly or something as it is not, but even if it fits me really well, it doesnt suit my taste. The strap placement feels good on my narrow frame - but ...I still prefer to have them more narrow to fit under tank tops properly. It doesnt bother my armpits and theres no feeling of straps falling of my shoulders. The band is made of one layer of fabric, its stretchy but keeps the band on the right place without moving up. The wires are narrow - just 13cm, feels perfect around my breasts Cups are made with 2 vertical seams, fits perfect as well, no gapping (straps adjusted on smaller breast) or quadboobing. The top of cups has a ribbon but it doesnt make the bra to be closed on top. The eyelash lace definietly would cover tiny quadboobs, so thats good thing if youre between sizes and decide to go down. Also the eyelash lace is present on part of the band. I really love the charm C between cups - and Id prefer it on all my comexim bras instead of any other charms. The bows however are different as theyre made of velour instead simple ribbon. Read more 170 more words
omgosh this is SO comfy! i feel like a snob because i found my "perfect" bra! comexim has the best wires for me, and i'm able to go a cup size up to get the immediate projection i need, and then alter the gore down/closer (i'm extremely close set,) reduce cup height, add an extra row+column of hooks, etc. its AMAZING. so now i buy the "softest" or "silkiest" that i can find, and get them w/cookie pockets (those are cotton) and I've been in HEAVEN... the fabric on Pantera feels amazing, and although animal print isnt my thing, i dont even care. it FEELS awesome!

I got this one together with 70F - Comexim » Lorraine Biustonosz (316) . Gives nice rounded shape, also small cleavage. Although I need 1 extra set of eyes, as the band is just tiny bit too tight - nothing major. Cups fit really well as all my comexims in 70F - no quadding and just tiny bit of gapping on the smaller side. Not sure if I will keep it as I have plenty of dark bras, but will wait for new EM and Comexim colecctions and then Ill decide : )
What can I say.. I love the print on it! Also, the roses print is such soft material. I returned my Victoria and got this as exchange. Victoria was too wide for me, and this one has narrower wires which also made the cups smaller. It gives me small quadboobs, althout one extra set of hooks reduce that. I like the fit of it, but i prefer more plunge version - also need to try the lower plunge with next orderhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
After I saw so many reviews of this model decided o give it a go and I'm happy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> looks nice, does not make wow but it seems to be comfortable (didn't try it for whole day yet). Although, next time I'm gonna order from comexim directly and will try bra with lowered gore. Panties are so cute! Usually I'm size medium in pants but I took large and they are quite good.
Edit - after having it for couple of weeks: I really love it! the vintage roses print, how nicely it washes, how comfortable to wear and that stays in place for whole day! also it works under some light colours clothes, ane the wires are good in length - not to high under my armpits.
On one hand, wonderfully made with high quality materials, very lovely and feels like it will last a hundred years. If only everything for boobs were made with such consideration in mind.
On the other, still quite tall and while comfortable, would be nice to have more depth-at-the-wire. I suspect, like other nameless bras, if I were to turn this one upside down that there would suddenly be plenty of space for my shape, and none of the flattening upward where displaced width and mass is not wanted always goes, that plagues me so.
So perfectly comfy - the alluring fabric that's silky soft, the soft-cotton-conformong stretch lace on the top of the cup is perfect for your body regardless of the time of the month/volume fluctuations. Loveeee thisssss !
It looks great on you!
