Comexim Bras

14 replies

rosyrose79 · 29/01/2015 16:32

After trying cleo/panache without any success some of the wonderful bra gurus on here recommended comexim bras for my narrow shallow breasts. If you have experience with the brand can you please advise which comexim bras would be good for my shape and how does their sizing compare with cleos?

Comexim varies a bit size wise - do not order the basic bra as the sizing on that one is particularly bonkers. I went for a 65K when I was a 30H in the Cleo Marcie

Are you sure you are narrow and shallow?

The marcie is my best fit in 30e and I have cleo lily and bella in 30f but while they fit well in the bottom of the cup the top material gapes on both. I also liked the fit of panache jasmine but the straps were too wide apart on that. Any advice?

Sorry same person just had a different username signed on

I'd go with the equivalent of a 30E to start with then. I don't think you are narrow and shallow, I think you're probably narrow and projected (the Cleos wouldn't work for you if your were shallow.) I think that's a 65F

that makes sense, thanks for your help Smile

How do the ewa michalakb bras come up in sizing? 30e in Cleos would be same?

StatisticallyChallenged · 29/01/2015 23:04

Ewa is a bit variable - but I do love them! The bands run snug, I wear the same size in most but if you are on the upper end of your band then size up if that makes sense? I'd probably say 1 cup up from marcie size.

The exception is the bras which are see through - the SM and I presume HM - the fabrics aren't nearly as stretchy so the bands are snugger, so I'd suggest going straight for a 32 in those.

yazzy85 · 30/01/2015 08:51

Those sheer onrs are the I was looking at, so 30e on marcie I should order 32f or 32e in those?

StatisticallyChallenged · 30/01/2015 09:38

Remember if you go up a band size, then you go down a cup size to maintain the same volume. So you'd be looking at a 32DD to stay the same, or an E to go up one. I'd probably go for the E - some of the sheer ones can run a little larger and it depends on breast shape so no promises!

Thanks StatisticallyChallenged. Are they good with returns if something doesn't fit?

StatisticallyChallenged · 30/01/2015 10:14

You have to pay for postage, but otherwise fine. One thing to note - when you get your parcel there will be a paper invoice/receipt roughly a5 sized with a small till receipt attached. If you have to do a return, both of those MUST BE INCLUDED in with the stuff. The absolutely will not do a return/refund without that little till receipt.

hahaha thanks for the advice, I will warn my dh in advance incase he wants to be helpful too. Brastop do kris line polish bras too but they don't have many sizes left, should I try a cup and band size up in those too?

StatisticallyChallenged · 30/01/2015 10:55

That would be my suggestion although Kris Line are a tad erratic! I have one though and it's a very good bra
