Its like the cups are set too far apart from each other, causing quading especially near the gore, and making my tissue sit under my arms so I can't lay my arms against my sides the way I can normally. It seems well made though the band is altogether to big for me . for this being a charity gift from a friend who physically used her head to measure whether it would fit my boobs or not , its pretty close.
This bra fit comfortable when I got it, but the band has stretched out quite a lot already. The underwires now slide lower than my breast tissue and the gore digs into my sternum...
Comfortable fabric and band. Round cup shape. Very comfortable. Unfortunately, the top of the cup cuts into one of my breasts, which is very slightly larger than the other.
This bikini top is comfortable, but the wires are too wide and cups not deep enough; I get lots of quadboob/cutting in the centre, and centre overspill just gets worse the longer I wear it, I can't "tuck it back in". I wore it for a day as a regular bra under clothes and it was comfortable. I have yet to wear it in the water.
I think I am getting closer to finding the right size. This bra fits really comfortable but have to fasten it on the tightest hook. I think I could go down a band size and up a cup size, because the cups give me a slight quad boob. I like the style and the design. I may try a 36G and see how it fits. This site is very helpful although some people who comment are a bit rude. I am really new at finding my right size and the right bra. When I first started on this site, I didn't know ...much about measuring myself other than ribcage and bust. I am learning. When I did a fit help one person was on the rude side about my measuring. Give us newbies a break. It is never too late to find the right size bra or style. I am 65 and have just started my journey to find the right bra. I have been wearing this bra for over a week now and find it is very comfortable. In fact this bra fits better than any other bra I have. I just to get the right size. I am going to try a 36GG in this same bra. The band on the Elomi Amelia in a 38FF is too loose and the cup is too small. I have heard that the padded bras are smaller in the cup area. Does anyone know if this is true of the Elomi bras? I am pretty close to finding the right size but know that style and brand can change things. Read more 182 more words
Very comfortable and sits firmly on the ribcage, especially when clipping the straps together in the back. Doesn't dig in under the arms - YAY! Unfortunately, it's hard to find tops I can wear that don't show the straps when their clipped. Without them clipped, I have to shorten the straps or they fall down on my tiny sloping shoulders. The elastic tends to roll up a bit, although that may just be because I've had these for too long and worn the bejeebers out of them. Overall, though, it's the most comfortable bra I've had in a long time.
I bought this bra even though the band is too big because I have a super tight budget and limited access to bras I can try on in a store while i figure out my size. The quality of the bra is good, and I actually really like the chocolate brown color. The velvet trim adds a bit of luxury. What I don't like about this bra is the shape it gives me, which it kind of pointed and splayed. My boobs need some help to achieve the rounded and projected look I want, and this doesn't do it. I will need to alter it soon to make the band a bit tighter, but it will do for now.
If you're looking for extreme coverage then this is the bra. I really dislike this bra, aside from the fact it is the incorrect size for me. This bra is made for functionality not style that's for sure. I dislike how far up the sides it comes on me. The fabric is comfortable and it seems Elomi did try to make it look pretty by adding a sheer mesh at the top of the cup. I would never, ever buy this bra again even if it were in my right size.
I LOVE this bra! I wish it fit properly. I was fitted to the wrong size in a professional shop. My band size should be 36" but I was told 38" so I ordered this in the wrong size. Keeping that in mind, I have not worn this other than to try it on so I can't speak of durability or anything that would need to be considered long term. However, it looks beautiful while on and it gives a lovely shape to my breasts. I will be buying a new one in the correct size as soon as possible.
This bra is amazingly comfortable. I like the feel of the fabric and the straps. However, the wires come up too far under my arms for my liking. The band does seem quite stretchy. Unfortunately I believe I was measured improperly because the the band rides up in the back and the cups squish my breasts a bit. While the wires and pattern are not to my liking, the style and feel of the bra is great. It would be nice for an everyday comfortable full coverage bra.
stormyeyez742 I actually just bought this same bra in a 36G and was comparing its measurements to yours - they're identical except the 36G has a 1" shorter wire, and the band size fits a maximum of 37". It sounds like it might be a better fit for you.
The colors are beautiful--I adore the contrast. Your friend sounds like a lot of fun :-) :-)
