If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know I've had trouble with Elle Macpherson bras not fitting consistently. This is still the case, however this bra fits perfectly. The 32E size is 32DDD in US sizing but it's marked 32E for US sizes so I left it at that when filling the details. Having tried on other bras in the same size recently I can say that this band fits a little tighter than some of the other models, but not nearly as tight as Elle Macpherson bras used to.
This is the first Elle Macpherson bra I've ever bought that didn't fit properly. The band was simply too loose. Given the brand's usual tendency to be very snug in the band I'm really confused.
I altered it myself and the band fits now, but I had to take off a little less than two inches of fabric so I don't know how long it will last.
I'm usually a 32F in Elle Macpherson and their sizing is so reliable that I have been able to buy theme without trying them on and have them fit. So, I was annoyed when the band was too large on this bra. It is the second one I've bought in the last year that I've had a problem with. I suppose they are loosening up band sizes in this brand? Everything else was great.
Really comfortable. Firm support without digging in, looks smooth under clothing. Haven't been about to find another from the same brand that fits as well, even though they are all part of the same 'contour' range.
Have had this bra for a while, and have finally come to terms with the fact that I've grown out of it. The band is pretty tight for a 32. It's a beautiful bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I bought this bra primarily because it is adorable. It does seem to be tight; I have sore red marks in the band's place when I remove it. I was informed upon trying it on that this brand runs small, and further research has yielded the same results. Band runs at least one size small, without question. My only other issue is the high cup under my right armpit. It does a fairly good job of containing the under-arm breast tissue, but seems to rub against my armpit uncomfortably in certain positions. Still, it's wearable. And still adorable.
The fitter at the store said the band runs small. Since I'm a 32" ribcage I got a 34E and I think it fit right. I think the cups a little tight as well but this is my first time wearing this style of bra so I'm not sure. The outside of this bra is lace and there's some type of mesh on the inside to give it strength. This lifts my boobs high and gives them a nice rounded shape. I also really love the bright pink color, pictures don't do it justice. The straps are pretty far apart and shift when I move my arms up but otherwise don't bother me. Overall I really like this bra and think it fits pretty well.
Band is way too big even on the tightest. Just rides up on the back. Shoulder straps are too far apart. To the level where it would fall off my shoulder. Cup def runs small. Went up a size and fits perfect.
The band is too big (tightest hook), but the cup is a little shallow too, and the shape is weird. My boob seems to be fuller than this is intended for.
This bra is just okay. I want to love elle macpherson stuff, cause it's pretty, but it just doesn't cut it in support. I just don't feel very supported in this bra, and the straps are falling off, which I usually don't have a problem with in other bras. They need to be shorter also.
It is very beautiful. Dark blue with beige go so surprisingly well together. I wish it fitted me. I don't really know what I was thinking when I was buying it in this sizehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
The band is loose enough that I can stretch it quite far from my body, yet it still leaves red marks where it sits (and does not slip up in the back). The cups are low cut and give me "the double-boob effect" if I'm not slouching. The frills on the straps and back show through clothes, as do the seams.

The cups are low cut and bordered with elastic that gives me "the double-boob effect" if I'm not slouching. The seams between the five parts of the cups are a little itchy and show through clothes, but it's very breathable due to the double-layer mesh material.
