Love the fit of this bra. Band comfortable. However cups are slightly too small. Have some bulging under arms, top of band. Which would probably be solved in the next size cup.

Black colorway

The smooth black fabric is sexy; it catches the light, giving it a sheen. The cups are three-part two-seam half-cups and perfect in projection, width, and volume for me. The band is a little too snug around my lower ribcage which has virtually the same circumference as my underbust (26 snug). So this band is better constructed for at least somewhat tapered ribcages as the bottom band elastic is a little shorter than the top one. I wore this without an extender for an hour and couldn't breathe comfortably because of this. Because I'll need to get a 5-hook extender, I'll probably never grab this bra.

I love this bra so much. I'm so glad Wellfitting decided to make a regular-band version of this bra, because I don't much care for longlines without boning but the cat print is to die for.

Fits like any Comexim 3HC. Great quality, perfect fit. Fits like UK 26F.

It's really the little details that make this bra special -- the ribbon "whiskers" on the bow, the high waist briefs, the little keyhole detail on the back of the briefs. It's absolutely perfect. I love it.

Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG

Nicely narrow immediately projected well padded cups. Still getting a little creasing at the bottom of the cup so not quite enough immediate projection. Ribbed, fully adjustable wide straps and three hooks. Straps set a touch too wide.

Overlapping narrow centre gore, but only just tall enough for me not to fall out of. Tacks, ... but could sit tighter. Essentially functions like a plunge for me. Fairly average half cup height. I'd prefer a little more height at the gore and probably the cups too - but that is for soft tissue. Accepts centre fullness as is, but not sure it would with a little more height. No side boning but good tall wings.

Band is pretty loose (no extender and on column three of four) but cups are pretty small.


Edit
Alteration: I moved the right strap in 2 cm and the left strap in 1 cm. Rubbing under the arms has stopped and assymetry is corrected. I can't raise the centre gore myself and I can't change the immediate projection.

I'm not sure how it happened but I ordered a size too large. The band is very stretchy it seems pretty comfortable all around though.

Oh my god. This thing is TINY! 30M - not so much. I run about a 30HH-JJ in Freya/Panache/Cleo and my poor boobs were completely overflowing. So please take into account that for someone whose proper size this is, the bra may well fit beautifully, it just clearly is NOT mine!

The upside is that it's gorgeous - silky black cups with a petite, multi-colored flower print that's beautiful. The cups are exactly the shape I need - a solid, supportive half cup. The line down the middle shows a little bit under thin clothing.

The band is relatively firm, I closed it on the 2nd of 4 ... clasps, but the underwire is miserable. Sank deep into skin on the sides and most of the front. Painful, red marks. Not the norm for me.

Straps are wide-set for my very narrow shoulders. Gogobee warned me that the customer service on her custom order was shaky enough that she wasn't sure if the straps were narrowed, and I will confirm that they are not.

I'm posting pics, but in all fairness, they're not representative of my size when I received the bra. I've now increased 1-2 cups and about 1 back size for an average of 32HH-J (hormones).

I'm disappointed, because it's a beautiful bra, rare to find such a gorgeous, lightly padded half-cup near my size, but realistically I'd say this fit more like a 30GG-H, or even a 28H-HH since the band is quite firm.

I'll be putting this up for resale soon on bratabase, so PM me if you're interested.

Update 7/18/15:
This bra is comfy but for some reason the cup is just too shallow by the center gore. It almost flattens them out a bit due to lack of projection in the center of the cup. My boobs start to wiggle their way out the top center of the cup. I might try a J cup next time around.

Original Review 7/9/15:
This is my first Wellfitting/Comexim bra. At first I was really worried and second guessed the size I picked. But in the end I'm happy and so thankful for the advice given by several bratabasers. The wires are narrow, just how I like them and they ... don't come up to high under my arms. Despite them being a little low, I see this as a plus because I can wear tank tops without the cup peeking out of the arm hole. The cup/strap junction doesn't dig in or bite my arm pits, a major plus in my book. I feel like this bra is a bit shallow in the bottom of the cup. I feel like it gives me a push up affect and I get a bit more jiggle up top from it. Nothing too terrible though. I feel like I don't get as much projection as I do with my EM bras. The straps are fully adjustable and aren't too wide set. The band is on the stretchier side but very comfortable. The nude color is quite light even for my light complexion. Overall it's a good bra and the quality seems really good.

When I placed my order it took about four weeks for them to email me and inform me they were waiting on more fabric to make my bra. This isn't the first time this has happened, with another brand, so I chose to wait. I have no complaints since I'm used to something always going wrong. LOL It's always Murphy's Law when it comes to me and my orders. So really no complaints from me.

**I'd like to preface this review with my (likely well known, sorry im passionate lol) disdain for Wellfitting. I will never give them my business again. I don't really want to keep shoving it down all your throats though. So if you are curious, please refer to my recent adventure entitled 'Why I will never give Wellfitting my money again...' (not sure how to link to it on here)**

The Abracadabra longline has been calling my name since I first saw it on Weirdly Shaped and Well Photographed. With my size and many ridiculous bra fitting needs, I am extremely limited in bra choices. It is pretty ... much Polish or nothing for me. I figured that would mean longlines were forever out of the question now! Until this beautiful piece of work! Seeing it on someone with bigger boobies than me gave me lots of hope! I could finally have one too! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

I'll be honest, the price of this truly hurt me inside to order lol. It really blows my mind that Wellfitting can charge $89 for one of their exclusive longlines when Comexim is putting beautiful ones out on their own site for HALF the price! But what better encouragement than a discount code right?! Even if it was just 10% off, it was enough to let me trick myself into thinking I was getting a deal. I'm sure my fellow bra freaks can understand https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

It took a little over 3 weeks production time which I think was a little excessive for just one bra and at that price point. But I totally understand Comexim is probably SO busy since they produce for Wellfitting, Anna Pardal, and they have multiple distributors all over the world now. (Side note: I honestly wonder how they do it!) And despite my hatred for Wellfitting, I absolutely adore Anna of Comexim and how much she truly cares! I couldn't be mad about that part! Oddly enough, by the time I finally received the Wellfitting email that my packaged had shipped, it had already checked into the US! Amazing speed considering how long some of my past packages have taken in the past!

I ordered this bra with my usual alterations: reduced cup and lowered gore. This time I wrote in 'extra low gore' instead of lowered gore. I was hoping that 'extra' would be noticed and might make a bit more of a difference for me than the usual lowered gore. I am very close set and also boney in the sternum area so I tend to have nothing but issues there. When I opened the package up, the cups still seemed a bit tall but the gore seemed really low so I knew it must have actually received what I asked for (my most recent bra before this one came in with NO alterations and had to be sent back, but that is another story).

Abracadabra LL is, as I expected, BEYOND gorgeous in person! The bra is made of a shiny lavender fabric with white as an accent color. The fabric along the cups and band (up to the wings) is covered with what is probably white lace but because I am definitely not a fabric connoisseur I thought of it more as a mesh looking material lol https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> The overlay does have white lace floral patterns featured throughout as well and the lace continues up over the top edge of the cup a bit. The back panel of the the bra is just the shiny lavender fabric with a white clasp area and the white strap material which continues right along the top edge. It is so beautiful but I fear I would snag the lace on everything!

When I tried the bra on, I placed it on the first set of hooks (2 x 6) and it just sat loosely against me and didn't hug me at all. It was like when I used to stupidly wear 34 bands and they always had gaping everywhere even though the cups were perfect for my boobs! I have been losing some weight recently and think I need to start ordering 28s. I know some people can wear a band or even 2 up and be fine, but I see serious fit issues by just being slightly off. Am I the only one?! Anyways I switched to the second set and adjusted the straps almost all the way down before it finally hugged me perfectly. This proved what I had already figured though, it is definitely a bit too small. The gore doesn't tack but it is an amazing height for me. I did notice the wires actually bow out from my body a bit in the front though. They don't really sit against me very well and they are sort of below my IMF as well. I'm sure they are pushed down by my need for more projection. They are too wide for me too, but unfortunately, that is my experience with all my bras right now. I still think the cups are a bit too tall also. I could pinch the fabric at the top where it is about to meet the straps like with any unaltered Comexim I've tried. But it is not nearly as bad! So besides being a little obnoxious for my high set breasts, I can live with that.

My biggest issues were: #1 the armpit area! It comes up SO high there on me which causes me to get rubbed raw after awhile. #2 the straps material! I had to crank them pretty much all the way down. Guess how long that took me? A good 15 minutes and that is with the bra OFF! They have a raised pattern along the edges which I guess is great for them not slipping out of your chosen length. But OMG they are impossible! I seriously cannot even get them to loosen up a tiny bit now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> and worst of all #3 the straps AGAIN! They are much too wide for my narrow and sloped shoulders. If I put them where they want to go, they are about to fall off of me! It is very uncomfortable and just wearing it for a few hours drove me absolutely bonkers.

Sadly, this one is going up for sale https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Look:
I love it. It's a beautiful bra without being too girly or embellished. I personally prefer richer/more saturated colors over pastels, so this is right up my alley. The seams on this bra are very noticable under a shirt, but this is may be due to the cup being too small causing the seams to be pushed out right at my apex and thus positioned in a very prominent area.


Fit:
I am waiting on a larger size to arrive (just shipped yesterday) , so I am not sure on the final fit for this bra. There is also an issue with the quality (mentioned later) which prevents me from ... being to sure on the fit of the cups. It is maybe a cup or 2 too small on my larger breast, but I'm new to all of this so I am not sure. The band is is significantly firmer than the basic in beige, which might be due to the black dye(?). I measure 24.5 snug and this is decent or bordering on too big. It feels nice and light. I love the stretch in the band and straps; it makes it feel like you're wearing the bra and not vice versa.

Quality:
I wonder if the bravantgarde is just somewhat poor in quality because like gogobee I had some issues. If I measure along the top of the cup from the strap to the gore, there is a difference of about 1/2 an inch between the two cups (big difference for me!). I noticed this because the larger cup is on my smaller breast/side causing it to gape more than it should - or maybe it shouldn't gape at all. It was the wrong size and I had already ordered a larger size anyways, so I am contemplating whether I should notify them/complain.


Just some side notes:
The material almost sounded like it made a rustling sound. I don't think you would hear it when you move and definitely not underclothing, but I jus thought that was interesting.

I can have super sensitive skin to the point where bob-length hair makes my neck red and itchy. The inside material does not seem like it would irritate my skin nor does it appear as if there are any pointy or unfinished areas that could cause harm.

Thanks for reading! I hope my reviews aren't averaging on too long. 😘

This bra is the French bulldog of the bra world. It’s solid, quirky, and so ugly that it’s been looped back over to the amazingly cute end of the spectrum. The print is covered in quirky cat breeds (Sphynx Siamese, Scottish Fold, British shorthair, Abyssinian) in field of flowers and apricots.
It is a longline but it seems to bunch more than flip, meaning while it may not keeps the “longline” silhouette as well as a Cleo longline it doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

I originally bought this to solve the center spill I get in my Patricia during PMS. I am not sure who this bra is designed for. The cups on this are almost 9” tall in the center. While they do lie flat on me, it’s a whole lot of extra fabric for no reason. The cups are also extremely wide, 6.375” vs the 6.125” of a Comexim 60N. While I don’t have a Comexim extra deep plunge in 60O to compare it to, the cups are almost 1” higher than the Patricia I have in 60N. This leads me to believe that Wellfitting bras are designed very differently than their Comexim counterparts. The only good part about this bra is the cup depth of 12”, and that I do not spill in the center. I do not think I will purchase another Wellfitting bra again, even with a discount. They are just too ridiculously tall.

First off, this bra has a very tight band. I listed the stretched band length as 25", but after stretching past 24", I can detect some warping in the wire. My snug rib cage measurement is 25", so this feels almost too tight for me. I don't have any discomfort and it isn't hard to take a deep breath or anything, but I certainly don't forget I'm wearing it. And the fact that it's a longline somehow makes it more obvious. I'd say this fits more like a 24J than a 26HH. The cups are more true to size. I get quad boob on my larger side with this bra, but it fits my smaller breast almost perfectly (just a smidge too snug). The straps are comfortable and easy to adjust and it really is a pretty bra.

Way too tight for me even when my ribcage actually measured 26 inches. I should have known it would be - black fabric is often quite firm - but I couldn't resist the sale Wellfitting was having, and this was the closest to my size that they had in stock. Next time I'll know better.

I can't accurately judge the fit of the cups because of the tight band. When I tried it on with three two-hook extenders, the elastic accents on the edges of the cups just kind of floated instead of lying flat. Not sure if this was a fit issue or a construction issue.

This is a fun bra, the pattern is pretty and it has a slight shimmer.
Both the wires and cup seperation are narrow so perfect for anybody with narrow and/or close set breasts.
The cup height is short so I wouldn't recommend this bra if you are top heavy.
As a top heavy girl I found this bra to cut across the top of my breast creating quad boob.
Despite that fit issue the bra is very soft and comfortable.

Updated on Aug 11, 2017 Flag this

Wellfitting orders from Comexim, and it shows. This bra is gorgeous, comfortable, well constructed, and very very supportive. Unfortunately the cups are too tall/I need to go down a cup size or so for it to really fit-the cups project up over my bust. I am admittedly very short rooted, though, so I don't think this would be an issue for someone with taller roots.

In short, it's as pretty as in the pictures and it's the most comfortable bra I have, I've been wearing it every day this week..which is two days...and the wire just popped out https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />(
I'll do a full review, including the matching bottoms, but it's basically Comexim's well-fitting 3HC but in a different fabric (btw, the pattern is very beautiful and the fabric seems sturdy, but it also has some wavy lines that give a..less-than-premium look).
The ladies at Wellfitting were very helpful and I did ask for an alteration (lower wire and lower wing), which we discussed and they suggested to use ... only a shorter wire but keep the wing height, and reinforce the wire at the gore. This was done and it seems to be working out well, it's very comfortable.

To edit, as I see that it's shared as an adventure, I'm not sure if I'll be able to edit it also later.
The packaging was great, it came in a box placed inside a plastic bag. The bra had paper inside the cups in order to keep the shape, which is very nice.
Regarding the comfort of the bra, there was just one thing which actually never happened to me before. The clasp in the back, with the hooks and eyes, had rough edges. Like if the parts have been glued/melted together, but the fabric edges became rough. Not sure how to describe it exactly. It seems to have gotten better with a couple of wears, hopefully washing will also help.
The bottoms are very comfortable. I got both the high waisted briefs and the string. The string runs a bit larger than the briefs, but both I'd say run quite large. The mesh fabric is soft and comfortable. The string is also quite high waisted, which is either good or bad depending on your preferences.

I'm so happy my cat bra has arrived!! It's very comfortable, and it is the right size... Mostly. I probably could have got the 30 band, as I'm fastening this one on the smallest hooks.

The gore is overlapped, but that's not an alteration I requested, so I'm assuming that is standard?

Updated on Dec 09, 2016 Flag this

What a lovely bra! The fabric is beautiful, and I love the golden ribbon along the top of the cup. It seems open enough for my FOT shape, and the cup is definitely deep enough. There's enough immediate projection for my pendulous breasts, and the whole bra is very comfortable. Unfortunately, the gore just doesn't tack! I don't know if its the soft wires, or if my breasts are too close-set and are pushing it out a bit. I get a soft tack, but as a result there's gaping in the top of the cup. When I push the gore firmly against my sternum, the cup depth seems about right. So close, and yet so far!

I got this from /r/braswap -- it originally came from Wellfitting, which is perhaps why the size isn't listed under the standard available sizing options.

This is my first Comexim and it's nearly a perfect fit for me, despite it being a plunge which have never worked for me before. The 55 band is PERFECT, the fabric is soft and nicely stretchy and the fabric and construction are beautiful. Unfortunately, it's too small. The wires are too narrow and I get some quadboobing as well. The shape of the wires follows my IMF most of my boob (which is rare), but it ends up lying on breast tissue on ... the sides. This is more of a problem on my bigger side and thanks to the lovely, soft Comexim wires isn't painful, but it does make me feel a little squeezed in and compressed. I'd get more lift by going up a cup size (or two?) but it's not going to stop me wearing this on smaller boobed days.

I'm interested in ordering more Comexim, and having tried a 55, I might want to order all of them that way. I'd thought I could get away with 60s, but I don't know that I can go back...
