Comexim » Charme Plunge Bra (415) » 70K 32:11
this is likely my best fitting bra. No matter what guides I've looked at I've not learnt much about my breasts other than they are projected and tall- my tissue reaches my collar bones. I always seem to quad boob, even if there's empty space in the cup. This bra has little to no space in the bottom of the cup empty which is nice. The gore sits nicely at the bottom of it near the band, but as it gets higher it slightly breaks away. I have tissue at the sides of the bra under my arm pit, but it may be just fat. I always have problems with bras being too wide and not enough projection.

helpfulThis bra just looks small. Have you tried a 70L or a 75K? Comexim bands aren't meant to be stretched really super tight as their wires are so soft. Eventually you'll pull the cups wide and the bra will be too wide and shallow. You'll find the fit is just as narrow and not much taller but the cup will be deeper a size up. Comexim uses much more gradual scaling bin comparison with U.K. bras.

helpfulWell, per measurements, it's missing about a full inch of cup depth--which is consistent with the amount of overspill you describe. So I think a cup closer to 11" depth is in order.
People with your ribcage measurements might sometimes require a 70 in Comexim if they were super petite and fluffy, and/or if they have very very large and heavy breasts, but these traits don't seem to apply to you, so I would try a 75 band. The hooks appear to be straining in the back shot. You can try an extender on this 70 first if you are worried a 75 would ride up, but Polish bras often run smaller in the band than western European or US brands, so even if you're a true 32/70 in others, 75 could still be optimal here.

elhicking by "a lot of squish on ribs" I mean "could store a few $20 dollar bills and the grocery list in the indent that the bra band makes in said squish" ;-) That is usually how soft and padded someone would need to be to size down in band like this. So, the photo showing the back hooks isn't super clear, so it's possible it's misleading, but I get the sense that it is showing the hooks really straining, which usually means a larger band would stay put just fine and this one is rather excessively tight.
Are you asking me why your cup depth is too small? I don't know why they made it this size, I am just saying you measured it at 10" whereas your lying down perimeter is 11" and you have a ton of quadding. This corroborates what we might conclude from the numbers--that you need a deeper cup.
I would first put on an extender to see if a 75 band will stay put. If it does, then yes, 75K would presumably be around 11" deep in the cup and a little bigger in the band. If you find you really need a 70 then you'd be going up to 70KK instead.

helpfulI think you may want to try the 3-part half-cup instead of the plunge. I have very full on top breasts too with tall roots, and the plunge made me quad at the top, but the 3HC in the same size didn't. The 3HC is more open on top and friendly for top fullness / tall roots.

Thanks for the advise! I think I am one of the petite and fluffy girls, I have a lot of squish on my ribs. About to change diet. I am somewhere between 5'0 and 5'1 with an extremely short torso.
Mind if I ask why I'm missing an inch of cup depth? I didn't request any alterations as to why it would come out like that, but then again it could be a failing on my measurements as its my first time doing this. Thanks again!
Editing to also ask: sorry I'm slow on the uptake here ... Would you recommend keeping the cup size and back sizing up to 75K?
