This bra looks good under sweaters and tight t-shirts. I love how it makes my breast sit high without looking fake. It's a comfortable bra in hot weather. It's hard to wash by hand b/c it doesn't fit in the bathroom sink. I wash it on delicate in the washing machine and have had no problems with it stretching.

• Hi, could you pretty please measure this bra again? The wire width (cup width) seems to be quite large. Too large if you ask me. The only way I can explain the cup width if you confused the Smoothing 1220 with the Smoothing Plunge 1221; but that bra is not available in 40GG. *scratches head*
  I would love to know, I always have issues with the wires (and the cupwidth) being too narrow for me.

• i measured wrong. i measured from the outside instead of the inside. when measuring from the inside, i got 10 inches.

• Thanks, but that is still wider than the 22cms (8.7 in) I get on the Elomi Cleo Side Support in the same size. And the Elomi Cleo Side Support has the widest wires that I have found so far. I contacted a friend who owns both the Elomi Cleo Side Support and the Elomi Smoothing 1220 in 44GG and she said the two bras are identical in wire width. *very confused*

• I think I know what it is, pharmrterri might be measuring the cup diagonally instead of straight across?

• This is a normal non-plunge bra; I cannot see a reason to measure diagonally. The best explanation I have is that I always try to measure the actual wire through the wire tube (bc it indicates best how much space there will be for the breasts) and pharmrterri does it differently.

• I measured straight across from the back. I measured my 38 h and it was over 8 inches too.

• 8 inch is 20.32 cms, 8.7 inches is about 22 cms. Wire width measurements in that range seem about right for an Elomi bra in 38H(UK). Anything above 22 cms though... I would love to find a bra in 40 H with wires that are 24-26 cms wide and 42 cms long, but I doubt this will happen unless I sew the bra myself.
