Issue resolved
Returned the bra
Original problem
So this bra is too big, clearly. It’s too big in the band, too open in the top of the cups. I’m considering exchanging it for the 34 band size, but I’m hesitant. Do I go down to a 34JJ because of openness at the top? Or a 34K because it fits so well in the bottom/sides of cups in the 36JJ?
If I do the 34K, I can always move the straps in if needed. I’m not the most skilled seamstress, but I can handle that job. I’m worried about going to the 34JJ because the sister size 36J in another half cup (different material and cut) gave me major quadding. http://bra.pe/X4QX/
Is it time to just throw in the towel on this one? Has anyone had good success with this super stretchy lace? Are my boobs monstrosities that are so FOB that the tops of Comexim will never fit?

helpfulI have been looking at buying this bra because of how pretty it is and I really wanted to try the brand. I saw it on Amazon though and was confused about the sizing. Did you end up needing to go up two cup sizes from your actual measurements? Thats what the seller said to do so I wasn't sure as I've never purchased from this brand before.

helpfulI also had trouble with Comexim bras being too open at the top of the cups.
If anyone knows how to fix that, please let me know.

This is only up one cup size from my usual 36J UK. But I do sometimes fit a 34J, which would make this up two cups.
I haven’t ever purchased Comexim on Amazon, but I believe if you look at the seller it will be BreakoutBras. I ordered this through their website directly. They do have good customer service, so you could contact them and ask for fitting advice if needed.
From my very limited knowledge (basing this off a YouTube video from 2015, so who knows), Comexim only started offering sizes above HH in the last few years. Typically it is when brands start scaling up their patterns that they start seeing fit issues like what I have going on, I believe. All this to say, if you are below an HH, I would trust Breakout Bras recommendation. If you are HH or above, there will likely be more trial and error.
