I tried this model in a 28F (http://bra.pe/XY3C/) already and the cups felt really small and didn't fit properly. But thanks to Calluna and lcl0706 I gave it another try in 30F and this is so much better. Thanks for convincing me! The color looks better then expected. I originally wanted to get a blue one but this was on sale on bravissimo.com. It's a mix between purple and Bordeaux red and it looks even more intense in person then on the photos. I also like the shiny straps and the band at the bottom.

The cups are filled out perfectly, ... the gore finally tacks and there is enough space at the top in front. I also don't get that weird pressure on the outside of my breasts anymore. The wires are still a bit too wide but they are soft so I don't feel them. The elastic in front of my armpits wrinkles and there is some empty space. It gets worse, when I lift my arms and better when I move the straps towards my neck. But it's completely invisible under clothes. I guess it would fit even better on someone with wider, and possibly taller roots since the sides are quite high. Surprisingly the shape is also more projected then in the 28F probably the cups were indeed pulled flat by the band due to the soft wires.

Comfort is amazing. I have this for over two month now and wear it quite often. At first it felt way too loose but wearing it to work I noticed that it doesn't shift around and my boobs don't move much. Only when I bend over the gore lifts of my sternum slightly and the stretch lace feels like it could allow my breast to move forward making it feel less secure. Overall it doesn't quite match the support and shape of my super tight 28Fs but in return it is more comfortable toward the end of the day. Also the larger portion of stretch lace provides some room for swelling which makes it a great period bra.

Mulberry colorway

Not a lot to say about this one. I’ve had this bra in a 30E in the crimson and latte and they were borderline small at the time, both in band and cups. I’d wanted to try it in a larger size for a while but never sure about the size I should try. This 30F comes from a swap, so it was perfect.

For aesthetics, like my other reviews, I really like the look of this bra. It’s a light mesh with stretch lace on top. It’s a bit of a looser weave of stretch lace so it’s very stretchy, but it’s too stretchy because my soft ... tissue in cup quads in this bra. The lower band is a thicker elastic which makes the band feel a bit looser on top than the bottom, and snugger in general.

From a fit perspective, it’s a bit roomier in the cups for me and I fill them up better. My small side gapes some and the stretch lace wrinkles a bit. Slight in cup quadding as mentioned above due to my softer tissue being less contained in the lace portion than the tulle/mesh portion of the cups. Straps are almost too short for me and I have to let them out a fair bit, which is not common for me. Cups feel as projected at the wire as the other ones but I almost feel like I’m not getting quite as nice a shape. Wire width seems ok for my narrowish roots and cups are borderline tall for me as I have functionally short roots. This is mostly a problem with the strap connectors but it’s a pretty common problem I have with a lot of bras. And as mentioned above, it is a snug band. I’m able to wear it without my extender but it’s definitely more comfortable with. I could probably do a 32 in this. In fact, it’s pretty consistent...all but one of the Curvy Kate bras I’ve had have a bit tight in the 30 and I could probably do with sizing up.

It’s still a lovely bra, but after a year with Polish bras, I am feeling slightly underwhelmed and less in love with Ellace as I once was.

The bra is good for people with full on bottom shapes with projection and immediate projection at the wire. The only downside is that this bra won't fit comfortably if you have narrow shoulders.

This bra was a definite no go for me.

My larger right boob pulled the gore into my right IMF through sheer effort of trying to fit all my breast tissue into the bra. The shoulder straps were too wide for me, causing chafing around the armpit area. I also had in cup-quadboobing happening between the mesh and stretchy lace portion of the bra.

The wires seemed to be on the narrower side and the band is a nice tight 30- maybe to tight if you measure as a true 30, but a nice fit for my 29 underbust.

First bra that fits okay in years! Gore tacks, band doesn't ride up, cups don't cut in. Sucks that I had to have it imported because there are literally no brands that carry anything outside 34B-38D in my country. My only issue with it is that the straps are quite wide set and the cups are also slightly wide at the top, which rubs against my armpit and can be slightly uncomfortable when I'm moving a lot. I also get a very slight gap/wrinkling where the strap meets the cup, I think the stretch lace is maybe expecting more upper fullness than what I have. Looking straight down I get a slightly pointy or triangular shape that may not be my favorite but to be honest I think it's one of those things that only I can tell because I'm the one wearing it - looking in the mirror with a shirt on, I can't notice that at all.

I bought this size because it was on sale, and the band fits great but it's too small in the cup. Also the stretch lace at the top balloons out, giving me a six-boob effect. I almost want to keep it until I can find something better, but just wearing it for 2 minutes makes me crazy. I can tolerate a cup size or two bigger but not smaller apparently. Trying it on again it's not as disappointing as the first time but not great. Will be returning it unfortunately. It's not painful or itchy but I'm on a mission to find ABTF ;P

My shape is short and narrow rooted, soft, slightly pendulous, and low set.

I tried Ellace in 30E and found that I had quad boob on my bigger side. I felt a little stuffed into the 30E also, so I decided to try the 30F. Although this bra probably fits better, and I feel more comfortable in it, I now find that my smaller boob has a teensy bit of space under the lace and I don't feel as uplifted. I can't win. Being between sizes sucks. Because it's not as uplifting in this larger size, I don't like the shape as much... but in the right size I ... think it would create a half rounded and half teardrop appearance on me.

I love the mulberry colour of this bra, and the lace is very pretty. The band feels nice and snug. The lace is soft and comfortable and has an inner elastic bit along the upper section that makes it so that the lace doesn't gape. This bra is nice for short roots I think. Straps are fully adjustable and are long enough on my tall frame.

Overall great quality and very comfortable bra.
