I'd placed my order with Comexim via email, which is pretty much the only way to order from the US, ages ago. We went back and forth on the sizing, and I did a lot of research before deciding on ordering a 60L. Sizing is different with Comexim. I thought I'd just order the same size that I get in the Ewa Michalak bras (they are both Polish companies), but after some communication with Comexim they advised their sizing is a bit different, and I asked around for some EM vs Comexim size advice. In Ewa Michalak, I have been a 60HH (lately, needing a band extender...thank you very much Longest Winter Ever). Luckily, I was able to find out from someone who had tried both brands before me- who happened to be the same EM size as me) that 60L was what worked out for her.
I emailed Comexim with my final size choice, and then that's where I messed up completely- I forgot to pay them!!! How in the world could you do that, you ask? Well, I do remember signing in to my PayPal account to pay for my order, but there are two different shipping options- one with tracking & one without. I remember trying to decide on what shipping to use.... and two months later, I could have sworn I paid them. So, I emailed them asking about the status of my order. To my shock, they told me they never received my payment! And to my surprise, I hadn't!!! DUH. All that wasted time because of my own stupidity... ANYWAY, I quickly rectified the situation, and they quickly got to work on my bra. I just ordered one to start with, the Tosca.

The Tosca is a plunge style, which was hard for me to tell from the photo. What do you think? I'm used to plunge styles having a lower center gore (the middle section of the bra where the two wires sit between the breasts), and those are the styles that tend to work better on me. So I was a little apprehensive of the Comexim style of plunge.
I was elated when she finally landed on my doorstep yesterday! Since ordering, some gals I know have gotten their Comexim orders and let me know how fabulous they are. And OMG, were they not exaggerating! This bra is beautiful. It's a lovely lavender color- metallic lavender, as you can see in the photo, and the black lace overlay gives it a little sophisticated and sexy edge. I can honestly say that this is one of the most beautiful bras I've ever owned.
It is a foamy moulded cup. Those of you who have ordered from EM before- this is similar fabric. It is not a smooth moulded cup, like the Curvy Kate Smoothie and Freya Deco, but does contain some seaming. As always, seaming is a concern when looking for that rounded shape I covet. However, I was very pleased to discover that despite the seaming, I felt like I have a nice rounded shape going on! The wires on the Tosca (and I imagine all the Comexim bras would be similar wiring?) are on the narrow side. I wonder if this is something that they could customize if you know you need wide wires? Has anyone tried? I would venture to say that this bra is a bit too narrow for me... just by a tiny bit. Not enough to really bother me.
I adore this bra, and so pleased that the 60L advice was pretty spot on! Yes, I am wearing it with an extender, but this is mostly due to my inability to stop eating baked goods since Christmas. Now that the weather is finally warming up, I will be getting back into my work out routine (such as it is...), so I'm glad the Comexim is a bit snug at the moment. I'd always rather go a bit too small on the band, than too big!, I wore her all day today, and have stayed uplifted and in place all day. I give this bra and this brand two very big thumbs up! Their prices are very reasonable with the exchange rate to USD, and I will for sure be placing another order in the near future! Thank you Comexim!!
