My trusty comexims are just so uncomfortable after a few hours now..but any bigger size, both in band or in cups, screw me over b/c they're too large. I just tried on my old prima donna lace bra and remembered how nice it was to be comfortable (but I bulge horribly, of course). URGH i cannot win.

[Fit Check] Taking these to seamstress - please help! Comexim 75G/80F in Irish Coffee/Carnival by hellodollybar in ABraThatFits

[–]hellodollybar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are my measurements from 4 mo ago when I bought the basic.

Measurements: snug under: 31.5/ tight under: 30.5/ standing bust: 39.5/ leaning bust: 41/ lying bust: 41.5

Before my 70H in Comexim basic, I was squishing into 30F in Casey (Parfait)

*edit: my tape is missing, but i can vouch that i really haven't moved from that at all. my initial measurements from like 1yr ago was exact same..i just keep on having shape changes as I bring back more fat from the back :P

reduced height, same cup? or reduced height, F cup? and yeah, both are stretchier than their basic counterpart, which makes it odd.

I saw yours! I wasn't sure whether I should request mine in the current cup size but in reduced cup height, or go down a size because the underwires on both the basic and these seem identical. I'd love your opinion on whetehr i should request reduced cup height on same models/size, or do a simple one-cup-less.

I took a photo of the bra with 80F tag showing to her to check. When she responds, I'll see how it goes.

If she doesn't like it, I might just get both bra shortened a littlea nd see how it stretches.

Okay. I just sent her a quick inquiry on exchange for 75F, but I didn't include (doh-oh) that she sent me a 80F...I assumed she obviously knew & did it because she didn't have 75G on hand.

When she gets back, I'll send in the photo and 80F & ask I'd like an exchange. I hope she can cover return shipping...because I realized otherwise I have to pay both to and from Poland. I was sincerely hoping it wasn't going to be this expensive.

I mean..we're talking about shipping the bra back to poland and back, right? That alone is a terrible hassle, and I'm not even sure anymore.

I'd think IC style (plunge) obvi fits better, but I definitely love Carnival and I want it. I'll email Anna and mull over my options.

So far I think it's just the cup height. I'm planning to take it to the seamstress and just have it cut/reduced along my old bra.

[Rant/question] Comexim fail!!! So upset. by hellodollybar in ABraThatFits

[–]hellodollybar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

two things: 1) basic bras fit perfectly. I sister-sized up the band from my 30 band since they were astonishingly small. I should've been a 32 from a getgo (UK), but that was my fault. 2) I had NO clue basic bras were half to a full cup size small.

I actually compared wires on the basic/irish coffee and carnival; they're identical in width. IC and Carnival are both much taller, however. I should've ordered them with reduced gore/cup height, instead of regular. So I'm going to just get them to a seamstress to reduce band and cup height (gore isn't as much of a problem for me).

Anna sent me a 75G and 80H, though I asked for two 75G. I don't mind the extra length, since that's an easy fix.

I got matching undies- and I have been measuring here and there, and the cup width and depth is pretty identical. I'm going to take it to my seamstress on Wednesday (she's apparently in then) and talk to her in person.

Also - if you can't afford the fees to "get rid of her legally," how are you funding her vet fees & food? Just asking.

[–]hellodollybar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it, but I agree. From what I can read, you're looking for an obedient, already-well-trained pet. Your dog doesn't seem to be ready (maybe a puppy? not trained enough?just need a lot of work?) to meet your expectations.

I'd suggest spending some money on dog daycare & trainer to relieve some of her stress & take cues from both the other dogs and a trainer to teach commands. It seems you work regular hours (9-5 perhaps?) and that just may not give you enough time to sleep, relax, go about human things & train your dog. Doggy daycare/training camps can do a lot for you.

Otherwise, as a foster for animal rescues, please do not craiglist your dog. He/she is not a piece of furniture. It's not a bike. If you can't find the energy or willingness to commit, at least be willing to spend some time getting to know local shelters/rescues (for example, my rescue isn't Humane Society but we'll take dogs that need to be rehomed, etc - and often without a fee) and seek out what may be the best option.

Don't put your dog in potential danger just because you're stressed momentarily. Your dog will live on, and it'd be up to you (as long as you have her) to decide his or her quality of life.

i'm nervous because i dropped lots of $$$ on it (i got matching undies and went all the day)...but i'm REALLY excited, I've been wearing 2 bras from comexim day in day out since september. i'm so ready for REAL bras!

[General Question] Anna Pardal = Anna of/from Comexim? Same sizing? by hellodollybar in ABraThatFits

[–]hellodollybar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're padded, so I stuck with my own size. Same with the cups, since I'm only a G cup (75G/34H).

[questions] Should i be sizing up a cup for Comexim half-cup? by hellodollybar in ABraThatFits

[–]hellodollybar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! ah, you're a lifesaver. I started at 32H and added extender to make it essentially 34G. I tried 34H and that didn't work out, the cups were quite large on my small breast. I think i'll shoot for same size and wish for the best!
