• Hi, I'm thinking of ordering this bra in this size, what are your measurements and UK bra size if you have one? Mine are 25" BTT, 26" normal not snug, 36.5" standing and 37.5" leaning so US 26K and I normally take an UK 28 HH/J bra...
  Thanks,
  N

• My usual bra size is 26JJ in Polish bras, I don't wear British bras anymore so can't really give you a UK bra size :/

  erm, not comfortable giving out measurements but I'm around 24" BTT, 25" snug, and 39" leaning I think?

• Thanks, yeah it made me uncomfortable sharing my info too, but I've found that numbers are the most accurate way to guesstimate the size and fit. I also am phasing out my British bras as I've discovered that the wires are far too wide for me and 28 bands even parfait "tight" ones all ride up in an hour. I also seem to be losing weight around the ribcage which is making the problem worse. I'm small framed and narrow so switching to Comexim has been a great decision.
  Ewa's size chart is just wrong so I've been left to order bras based on wire length + cup depth and measurements of people who wear that size, so I may be a 55J, I think.

  I want to try Ewa Michalak but their sizing is completely different it seems, do you wear Comexim? if so what size?

• I do have one Comexim, in size 55N, but unfortunately the shape is a bit too shallow for me, it doesn't fit me like some EM bras can do

  I'm not an expert with EM bras so I can't really give much advice. Though in small band big cup sizes like ours EM is still a bit too wide for me, not as bad as British bras but it can be a little uncomfortable still. The S shape from Ewa is a godsend with it's narrow wires!

• I agree, all of my British bras have the orange in a glass effect for me-far too shallow and wide with wrinkling in the bottom of the cup and breast tissue escaping at the top.

  In Comexim, I also wear 55N/O (in tighter, embroidered styles)...strange how we have different measurements but wear the sameish size?...shape may have something to do with it, b/c most calculators for me are multiple sizes off.
  That's the funny thing, this bra is exactly the same underwire length and cup depth as all of my well fitting bras (although at 28 in band may be a bit loose)...

• Haha, pretty much! I got really disappointed with that Carmen longline - I really want a longline but the shallowness of that made me sad :(

  I'm not entirely sure what my Comexim size is since tbh Comexim is just not the right shape for me at all, I can't quite put my finger on why though :(

  Yeah we do have quite different measurements, I think because my boobs are pretty firm they can fit into smaller cup sizes? I'm not too sure, I'm just happy I have a few 26 banded bras haha :)

• I have the CK Carmen longline too, yeah the entire Curvy Kate line has very shallow cups, wide wires and too far apart straps. Their 28 bands are far too loose even on the last hook, so I use them for "show" only-pretty designs though, esp the showgirl range :(
  Comexim gives a very projected, rounded out shape. It's not for everybody esp if you don't have very narrow U shaped roots. Ewa Michalak is the happy medium of both, so narrow but not sitting on breast tissue as much.

  Yeah you have almost 3 inches of breast tissue more than me and yet we more or less wear the same size...it could be because my breasts are of a...spherical shape so equally full on top as bottom requiring more space? hmmn not sure

  wait were you thinking of selling this bra? But I get the impression that you like it though :)

  I used to buy British bras on here as they are far more economical than anything so Comexim was a bit more pricy and Ewa...lets just say I've never paid more than 40 for a bra, so wincing at the cost projected cost of catering to 26 backs! :O

• and wow just checked out your profile and we wear the same size on quite a few bras! My Carmen and tease mes are also both 28HH (should have gotten J's though b/c they are too small in the cup), my Panache sport is also 28H, and I take a 28J is Bravissimo bras...we may indeed be the same size despite the vast difference in measurements

• yup, Curvy Kate is awful for me :( just waiting on that new Comexim and Cleo longlines!

  no idea :/ strange how different measurements can be!

  nope, sorry, I love this bra too much haha!

  yeah we might be size twins! Though all those British bras I bought when I was a bit smaller, like I honestly haven't bought a British bra in over a year! But I am really tempted into some new Cleo designs...

• I think it's because measurements don't cover volume...

  and yeah I wouldn't sell a bra so stunning! I might finally give in and get it though, just not sure what size to get maybe 55J.

  I had the Cleo Marcie and was not a fan of the fact that it had 2 hooks. Their bands are tighter than CK which is a plus but I definitely like 4+ hooks. A bustier would be nice too.

  Comexim and Cleo make longlines?? What are they called? I've been searching for longline bras-those would be the best!

• Yeah that makes sense haha

  It is a really stunning bra :) to have such a beautifully designed bra in our kind of bra size range is amazing!

  Yeah, I do prefer 3 hooks at the very least, they just get so heavy sometimes :(

  Cleo is releasing a longline in SS15 and Comexim have put up a preview of a longline so yeah looks like we gotta watch out for them!

• agreed, I'm glad at least a few companies are picking up the customers who can't shop at Victoria's Secret etc.

  and yeah just saw a post on longlines from
  them-really excited! Wish it would come in nude color though. I seriously love longlines––which is why I have a tough time getting rid of my Carmen––the back support from it is the best even though the fit isn't.

• yes exactly! It's such a shame that we can't ~really~ buy stuff physically in shops anymore - I can't really fit well into anything at Bravissimo :(

  yes! the longlines look nice but $90 is a bit steep... might have to really think about that one haha!
  Yes exactly, it took a lot of thinking for me to return my carmen :( Kinda glad I did though cause I really would never have used it since the cups fit so badly on me...

• yeah I'm not ready to pay more than double for a longline- the only benefit is the addition of two more hooks than what I have...so as someone pinching my pennies, I'm hoping Comexim will have the patterns available at cheaper prices in the future...otherwise wistful wishing it is!
  My most expensive bras will be from Ewa though...just very annoying that I am a custom size and if it doesn't fit...I've just wasted a lot of money :(

• That's what I'm hoping for too, especially that Wellfitting doesn't even do alterations and I wanted reduced cups for my next comexim order :( but I heard that Comexim themselves aren't thinking about longlines anytime soon :(

  yeah I understand your feelings :( I was really nervous first ordering from Ewa, luckily, I managed to get the right size! If it doesn't fit and it's a 26 band, I'm sure you can sell it really quick anyway, Ewas go quick lol.

• What exactly are reduced cups? I asked Anna for a skintone longline and I'm still waiting for her response. If the contract goes through, I'll let you know :D

  Not sure about the Ewas going quick though...some of the more rarer sizes have been sitting for around a year...I may get a few regardless :O
  

• I think they reduce the amount of material near the armpit? tbh I'm not entirely sure!
  yes please let me know! the longline designs on wellfitting just aren't my kind of designs unfortunately :(

  you probably will! :D I've managed to sell all my Ewas no problem haha
