  this is really difficult. I mean, not a terrible fit. just not there 100%. I'm leaning towards the gore being *too low* on this one.

  We discussed on the reddit forum (or, at least, I think we did...can't remember the exact post) that Comexim has a "deeper plunge cut"

  I wonder if their "deeper plunge cut" would be worth a try with you? It's discussed on this blog -she requested it in this bra https://hugsforyourjugs.blogspot.com/2017/06/i-will-be-coolest-kid-comexim-graffiti.html and the deeper plunge cut was also in the Comexim Topaz that was recently sold through Breakout Bras (not on the Comexim.pl website, but the ones that were already done up just for Breakout Bras in S. Carolina)

  I think, in my current cup size, 32GG UK, I get a better fit in comexim padded plunge when it's done in the deeper plunge cut, I'm going to link to my review here. https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnpi3/

  I mean, Comexim is super flexible that way, if you want "higher gore" "deeper plunge cut" they can make it for you (doesn't always get done, it's always a little risky, but they are SUPER affordable considering they will do pretty much a custom bras in their size range). So, I don't know if it's worth pursuing modifications with them, or what.

  OH, one last thought, there is an album called "What too big looks like on large breasts" https://www.bratabase.com/albums/77o/ I'm not 100% sure this is your issue, but maybe going down one cup size and trying the "deeper plunge cut"? Not sure.

  Also, I'm not really sure about the sides, if it's too narrow, or not. I'm not sure if your planning to return this one, but usually I just see where the pink (or red) marks are when I take the bra off & see if it aligns with breast tissue, or not (if that makes sense). Usually I can tell if it's sitting on boob tissue when I take the bra off at the end of the day - the pink lines make it clear!

    BraOdyssey WHOA. That album you shared is so eye-opening to me. I’m wondering if maybe I have been wearing ones that are too big sometimes. It’s so hard with my shape to figure out the right size. I have really soft, pendulous breasts from nursing my kids, but I also have shorter roots and center fullness and sometimes top fullness too if they’re where they’re supposed to be lol. I know with the ABTF calculator that center/top fullness is usually underestimated by the calculator and soft tissue is usually overestimated. Calculator had me at 32GG last I checked a few weeks ago.

    I tried this Comexim Greta on again and “reverse swooped” and it seemed to move everything into a better place, but then I was kind of popping out on the sides where my armpits are. I thought maybe trying a cup size up might work, but perhaps going down a size would be better…

    One other question though- if the gore is too low on this bra, wouldn’t the deeper plunge gore be even lower?

  • "One other question though- if the gore is too low on this bra, wouldn’t the deeper plunge gore be even lower?"

    That's a great question. I'm just going to go compare my bras. Okay, you're right - the "deeper plunge cut" has a bit of a shorter gore. I measured about 7.5cm for the Topaz, deeper padded plunge cut, size 70K. (or 32H in BoB sizes).

    The three other (yes, I am a Comexim fanatic!) "regular plunge cut" I have in size 70L (or 32HH in Bob sizes) gore's measured 9cm, 8.5cm, and 8 cm. (the three bras were Lily, Bubbles, and Gracja). So, yeah, it looks like the deeper plunge cut will come with a bit of a lower gore.

  • Wanted to comment on the deeper plunge cut - in my experience the deeper plunge is more shallow in my size range for Comexim (60L/65K) so if you need more projection it may be a worse fit. The cups also go up higher on the outside and may be uncomfortable if you have short roots.
    Is the bra all the way up with the wires in the fold where the tissue starts? It's hard to tell from the photos if it's sitting a little low.
    I have soft tissue and with low gores there tends to be spillage toward the center and it appears to be both gaping and overspill. A higher gore can help keep the soft tissue in each cup and fill the gaps. I love Comexim bras but I've never had one that fits perfectly. The softer wires and stretch of the bands means I never get a full tack and deal with spillage and/or gaps in the padded bras. The unlined bras have a little more support.
    The Ewa Michalak SF style bras are made for soft tissue and could be a good fit for your needs.
