Doesn’t quite fit but still very comfortable. Underwire are pretty flexible so cup width when worn is a lot wider then measured. Will probably keep anyway.

I like the look and fabric of this bra. It covers and supports my breast tissue nicely. Unfortunately I think the band is too large since I need to wear it on the tightest hook for it to stay in place after only 2 weeks of use. If I put it on the loosest or middle hooks, it moves around and becomes uncomfortable. When worn on the tightest hook, it stays in place but the fabric of the band turns under itself and stays there part way through the day; this quickly becomes itchy and painful. Also, the underwires on this bra are quite wide; they reach about half an inch further than my inframammary fold towards my back. This means that I feel them under my arms when I move.

One of the early purchases in my true bra size journey. This might have been the first bra I ever owned that the gore actually tacked. Alas, it is wide in the cups and not terribly comfortable. I've been wading it anyway.
The lace is quite textured and shows through thinner tops.This bra is not owned any more

The band is too small for me. I need something in between a 38 and a 40, so I stuck with the 40. The cups on this seem to be less full on the top on this, unlike the 40G, which I fill just fine.

This is a nice bra. It's not a perfect fit but honestly, I don't think anything is anymore, since I'm over 60 and rather 'plush' all over.

The band/underwire doesn't cut into my high tummy like Wacoal 38E Retro Chic. The underwires are wide enough for all of my breast tissue and extend out diagonally, so there's no underarm irritation. I'm most satisfied thus far by that point. The gore lies flat but is a little high in that it jabs my sternum a little. May be tolerable by manipulating the wires outward. The cups are full at the bottom and the top makes a nice flat line... But there's some puckering of the fabric above the horizontal seam. Makes me wonder if I should have ordered a cup size down. The straps are wide and comfortable. Time will tell if the apex of the cup makes them too wide set for me. I think I'm most comfortable in this bra than any other I've tried so far. Once I'm certain of my size, I will be purchasing another Elomi bra because I am so pleased with the underwires.

Tried on my sister's bra for the hell of it. She's had kids and nursed so her boobs are much bigger than mine. I was surprised that I was able to fill the cup to an extent. The top of the cup is flush, but there is vertical tension from where there isn't any fullness. I need maybe a cup or two down.
Compared to my Wacoal Retro Chic 38E, the underworld are JUST what I need, most comfortable, extending diagonally out under my armpits. Absolutely zero irration on that front. I'll keep Elomi in mind for their under wires.
Since the bra is used, the band is a ... little loose.
What continues to bother me on the bras I've tried is a combination of the wings being too high, the apex too wide, and the straps too wide set. This makes the straps dig into my armpits and the sides come up to about 2" from my armpit crease. Very uncomfortable.
Unlike Wacoal Retro Chic 38E, the band/cups don't dig into my high belly. Very comfortable. I don't know if that's because the band is stretched or not, but I like it.
I think I will try a smaller cup in the same style.

It very slightly wrinkles at the mesh top of the cup, probably due to breast assymmetry and pendulousness, but not enough to go down a cup-size. Would prefer it had 3-4 hooks with a thicker band, instead of the 2-hooked skinny band. Would also prefer the side of the bra, the fabric and underwire, came up a bit farther. Otherwise it's comfortable and the underwires under the breast and at the gore fit right.

This bra is just overall too big for me. The wires are much too wide and not quite firm enough (they go all the way behind my underarm). The gore doesn't tack. I'll admit that it's comfortable, but it doesn't give the support I need, and the band is always riding up even on the smallest clasp. Even though it's too big, I still get a bit of quadboob. The cups aren't deep enough for me. I'm not a fan of this bra. I need something with narrow wires and deeper cups.
