I liked Victoria for quite some time and finally odered it. It looks great, but I don't think I'm a huge fan of the eyelash lace. Also the edge where the eyelash lace attaches closes of the cup a bit more and creates a bit of quad boob, not bad and it might not be noticeable in photos, but it's there.
This bra's measurements have been altered
Altered straps,
straps moved in 2cm, gore reduced 2cm, overlapping gore
After I realized a 70F (beige) Elena two-part half cup was slightly too small in the cup or too closed on top for my larger breast, I ordered a two-part Elena half cup in 70G to see if the fit would be better. Surprisingly, cups were too wide for both breasts. I'm thinking this is just a shape mismatch for my wide-set FOB breasts, given that neither of these fit, but three-part half-cups in the same band and cup size typically do. I love the option of a basic bra in beige or black from Comexim and may try to reorder this style as a three-part half cup to see if there is a difference. It's too bad, because it's a great basic option, just not the one for me.
Ordered a size too small, so I can't really review this bra. I will say that it took 20 minutes to snap myself into the damned thing, still couldn't tell you precisely how I did it. I wish I'd measured before I ordered! Don't be like me!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous but tooooooo smallllll in the cup.
Absolutely stunning to look at. I feel like I'm in sepia tone when I'm wearing it.
Definitely shallower overall than the equivalent sized Ewa S, but softer and lighter,, with more flexible wires.
I've been trying to figure out my Comexim size for years, and this is not it, but I'm getting closer. Looks like I'm going to land at 70H, 70HH reduced cup, 75H reduced cup, or maaaybe 75G.
I got this one in a swap, and didn't think to ask for the cup height. The cups are too tall for me which is disappointing as this bra is so much prettier in person. The bra is also super soft, softer than many of my other Comexims.
Aw gutted about the cup height :/ it really is so gorgeous in person compared to how it photographs though right?!
Yes, it does look so much better in person than in photos. If the cups were reduced it would more than likely fit. I have/had some standard height Comexims that work decently and others that are just way too tall.
Got this from the wonderful Jaimie at Bra Obsessed from the clearance bin. I wanted to try a Comexim balcony, since their plunges are an utter fail for me (not deep enough at the wire among other issues) and the 3-part HC's are too wide if the cup & band size is big enough. Sadly, because I really, really love Comexim as a company, this is also a fail. The top panel seems to be smaller/shorter than the dimensions of the lower part of the cup would indicate and angles in quite sharply. I'll bet this would be great for someone more FOB! The bottom is made of ...a slightly stretchy glowy knit in a mesmerizing color that defies description (I'm calling it fawny-mauvey-cocoa because it changes from brown to purple and back, depending on what you put it next to; it is a true neutral). The straps are not too wide set, firm, and the band is nice and supportive. It is deep enough for my immediate projection, and provides the natural-moderate lift I expect in a soft bra (its not saggy but not Cleo either). The wires and gore are narrow, and they are somewhat flexible so I could wear this baby all an active day with comfort. All good so far! However the top panel is NOT stretchy at all. It is densely embroidered and the fabric is on the OPPOSITE bias of the bottom panels. It is not lined, so the embroidery (which is beautiful flowers and shooting stars) is scratchy; I can see it bothering someone with more sensitive skin. Plus it seems to be attached almost oddly perpendicular to the bottom panels, and is very tight to the gore. So it cuts in something awful from the top & center, my girls look for some place else to go and get pushed down/sideways/squished and I end up with a bad shape and discomfort. Very sad :/ because I love the color and other than the weirdness of that top piece, it would be perfect! Read more 233 more words
This is so close to fitting but I seem to have gotten the only Sonia that runs loose in the band. I thought it was fine at first, but upon closer inspection the wires are a bit too wide when I fasten it on the first hooks, so it's not keeping me held securely enough. it also gaps a bit when I lean over. I can easily fasten it on the tightest hooks, and that fixes the problems, but I hesitate to alter the band of such a pretty bra if someone else can fit in it better. Shame, because it really gives a lovely shape and looks amazing from the front especially.
So pretty <3 hard to comment on the fit because I ordered a 70 band thinking that you're supposed to size-up for Polish bras (I usually wear a snug 30) but I don't know where I heard that - the band is way to loose on me! I definitely need a 65, or maybe even a loose 60. I'm gutted because it's SUCH a gorgeous print.
Best fitting bra, I have now! Thanks Rose. I am a comexum believer! Straps, Gore and cups fit perfect. The band is a bit tight. I will wear it with an extender until it stretches enough. I will be ordering more comexom bras and Anna Parnell.
The 70G Comexim Georgia I ordered through wellfitting.com was supposed to have the same customizations I had done to the 65H Jacqueline Bra, which I bought directly from Comexim a few months earlier:
Lowered gore Reduced cups 3x3 hooks and eyes Higher sides
If I had known about moving straps inward, I would've requested that customization, too.
The 70G Georgia's cups are deeper than those of my 65H Jacqueline. The cup height, gore height, wing height, and 3x3 hooks/eyes are the same. When I lay the Georgia on top of the Jacqueline, the wire width is the same. This is appropriate, since they are sister sizes--or are they?
The Georgia is deeper. The ...top of the cups gape slightly, and I don't get the front and centeredness of the Comexim Jacqueline or of my Ewa Michalak 3Ds, Pl Onyks, and strapless bras. My breasts naturally point straight ahead, have no space between them, and, after wearing properly fitting plunge bras for a year, have a fair amount of fullness near the center gore. When I wear a bra, I want to maximize fullness toward the center gore by pulling my ample side tissue forward.
It appears reports that Comexim doesn't do sister sizes the way Ewa Michalak or UK brands do is correct. I am having the same issue with my Comexim Arizona, which I ordered with the Georgia. The good news is if you're half a cup between cup sizes in one Comexim band size, getting a sister size that isn't really a sister size may solve that problem.
The fabric part the hooks are embedded in has sharp edges. This flaw is prevalent among Comexim and Ewa Michalak bras. The Comexim Georgia, Comexim Arizona, Comexim Jacqueline, and many of my Ewa Michalaks are sharp enough to make me bleed. I don't expect the same comfort of, say, a luxury brand like Prima Donna for these prices, but no bra should be sharp enough to cause its wearer to develop scabs from doing absolutely nothing physically active while wearing it. I'm going to replace the hook section of my Jacqueline Bra, which does fit fairly well, with a softer version.
I am disappointed the Comexim Georgia doesn't fit well because its printed lace fabric looks nice, not cheesy. Skipping actual lace in favor of printed avoids the bumpiness and friction of real lace. I like my bras to be a non-issue under clothes. This bra has seams on the exterior of the cups, but they don't show under my tops. I also have no bluish greenish bras. I need some. I might reorder this in a customized 65H. It takes so long to get bras from Poland, though. Read more 333 more words

The Comexim Arizona is pretty. I like the crochet style black lace over the bright red cups. The inside is bright red, which I find clear and cheery. Read more 250 more words
This bra's measurements have been altered
Lowered gore, Reduced cups, 3x3 hooks and eyes, Higher sides
I had a bit more luck with this than the Joy Longline in 65H. This is a sister size, 70G, in the HC. I had trouble finding reviews, but what I did find said the bands were tight.
On my particular bra, the band feels like a TTS 70 (32"). I do wish I'd have gotten the 65H. It isn't riding up at all, but I don't feel as "secure" I guess.
I do like the Hc more than the Longline. Lookwise, they're the same besides less or more material. The gore on this one sits a lot more flat. I have similar issues with my right boob being somewhat too small, but I ...actually believe the Hc's cups are just a tad shorter. I say this because I don't get the gapping on my right in the Hc, but I do with the Longline.
So band, as far as I can tell, TTS. Maybe if you're in between sizes (I'm in between 28 and 30"), go with the size after your measurement(29=30; not 32..31=32, not 34, etc.).
Cups, I believe run small. This is a 70G, and I should probably wear a 65G in Comexim. The cup depth is about 8", maybe give a little(not much).
I recommend you stay with your band and go up a cup.
Straps are fully adjustable, wires are still somewhat wide on the Hc. The Joys seem to definitely be fairly wide and shallow, I'd say the Longline more so.
If you need average to slightly wide wires and want Comexim, I'd give this a try. It also offers decent room for projection, but consider going up a cup.
Cup lining is a very thin later of foam, similar to Freya longlines (which are a bit easier to find and test in Nordstrom/rack and such).
Cups are up front and centered as I've experienced with the other Comexims (Basic,Joy Longline, Coco, Emanuelle), wires touch, and you get a very lifted, round, but more natural look.
So, yeah, I tried. Definitely know now to stay with my band and usually get a G (except in the Hc's case).
I'll be keeping this despite the band. I'm unsure about the Longline. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Much better than the 65HH (see review, cups were way too large, band much too small, despite a 29" underbust). Gore does not tack at the top (1cm gap) because there is not enough center projection. This may be a cup size too small for me, but on the other hand, I have a bit of gapping by the straps, so I am considering ordering same size with custom straps moved in. My only trepidation is possible quad-boobing that could occur. It is unclear whether the gapping by the straps is due to orange-in-glass effect or straps too far apart. Straps ARE about 1/2 inch too far apart ...for me and also carry too much weight because of the non-tacking gore, but neither issue is a real deterrent. I am in love with the low underarms and narrow underwires, both which are perfect for me and a big relief for my irritated front-of-armpit skin Re: Freya Deco. For that alone, I am thrilled with this bra. Does not show even under stretchy/thin shirts for me. The shape is a lovely hybrid of green-purple: it's up-front and perky without being in-your-face.
The shape is a hearty improvement on my Panache Envy and Jasmine, which were too down-and-out and caused gapes between buttons on my button-down blouses. The Comexim Basic does not do that. I think if I could go back and do it again, I may have ordered from the U.S. vendor Wellfitting to save time (because I ordered a different size and then had to exchange, the process of acquiring this took~6 weeks), but the total cost of ordering direct vs. U.S. was probably the same.
Also an interesting side-note: the straps on this size had lace detailing all along their front, while the 65HH had plain straps. You can still adjust the straps over the detailing. I think the detailing actually provides a little extra stability (because they stitched it on), which I find nice, as the undetailed straps were overly stretchy, which also felt a little cheap. Also interesting, the detailing on mine is lace, NOT the looped thread pictured on the photo that someone uploaded for this size (I guess Comexim just uses what they have in stock).

I have considered custom ordering a second one with straps moved in, but as I already don't get enough projection in this bra as-is, I don't want to lose cup space in the middle. Some have said a lower gore can enhance projection next to the gore, but I'm not willing to sacrifice any stability, since my breasts are heavy*! (*have no idea how heavy my breasts are compared to other women, I just know they are a lot of weight on my frame!)
Okay, I'm pretty decided on ordering 70H with reduced cups and straps moved in
Nah, just moving straps in on 70G. Wow, bra-fitting is driving me nuts!!
As I've worn this more, I've had to tighten the straps, and it's clear these cups are too small.
Quality construction and material, gives a nice lifted, rounded profile. Band is closer to a 32 than I was expecting (the band on my Tropical Garden bra was much tighter), but still comfy on my 29" underbust. Material is soft and somewhat stretchy all over; front material on the cups is delicate, easy to snag. Straps are a bit wide for my narrow shoulders, but I don't think they are in danger of falling off.
My only real complaint is a lack of depth near the gore, which causes the gore to move around slightly. I might be able to go up a cup size, but then I think problems near the arms are going to start appearing (it gets a little gap up there already). Otherwise, a nice t-shirt bra that doesn't show (but, of course, I don't have any sheer or super thin shirts to test that theory as far as it will go).
Very well-made and sturdy materials, with decent projection near the bottom and at the gore. The band is tight (much more so than the @Comexim >> Basic (170) in the same size), like a tight 30, and doesn't feel like it will stretch out quickly.
I was expecting something a bit more comfortable, but I have very sensitive skin. Not as comfy as the Basic, but there is a great deal of stability in this bra, which is, I guess, the trade-off. Really nice looking print, but it is a mesh print instead of something more silky, which I didn't realize.
The straps do sit a bit wide for my narrow shoulders.
Altogether, though, a nice fit for my tall-ish, projected, and narrow self.
Aw gutted about the cup height :/ it really is so gorgeous in person compared to how it photographs though right?!
