    This is a stunning bra that was custom made for me. The fit is ALMOST perfect - The next time Julia makes me a bra, she will widen the gore.

    Everything about this company is perfect. Nothing is impossible. Everything was customized exactly as I asked. The materials are beautiful and I don't think I'd ever find antying nicer in a store for the same amount of money.

    • These are freaking gorgeous! I wanted an Ellesmere bra so bad ever since I heard about their customs but how would that work over e-mail :/

    • Absolutely gorgeous! I love fancy embroidered lace bras.

    • Hmmm...brasaremean You'd have to contact Julia. She would probably ask you for some measurements and/or bras that fit you best and then work from there!!

    • Wow this bra is absolutely gorgeous! Does she make matching panties to go with the bras as well?

    • sugarcube yes, you bet! She makes a bikini and a high waist brief/knicker. She made tangas/brazilian for me by request. She also makes matching garters/suspender belts.

    • OMG This is SOOOO gorgeous. Pretty much a perfect fit eh. Totally jelly about that bit of space you got their to need a wider gore! Gores always lay on my tissue lol.
      I totally forgot about this brand tooo, you should check this out Robras

      brasaremean it's really simply to get a custom piece over e-mail. I have gotten two kinds of customs corsets. I have gotten ones that were made to measure (with all fabrics picked out by me) and I have gotten bespoke corsets. A made to measure bra would be made simply with your measurements (that you provide) and with the fabrics of your choice. They would also add anything else you ask (gore only 1 cm wide, straps set in the center of the cup etc. etc.). They will make the bra and then send it to you after payment in full. You would then have to pay for any alterations, unless ofcourse there was something direly wrong that was the creators fault.
      A bespoke bra on the other hand would include everything from a made-to-measure bra. Except, they would make a mock-up to send out to you for you to try on and adjust the fit accordingly. You typically get 1 or 2 mockups per bespoke make, sometimes they will be gracious and allow more. This gives you the extra room to KNOW that it'll fit, though it will cost more than a made-to-measure.

  2. Custom Bralette

    Julia offered to make me a bralette in black lace - something that's not in her collection. I was thrilled.

    She altered the width of the cup, ie. if this were a wired bra, she would have used a narrower wire.

    It's a 3 part cup, with the outer 2 sections being lined in nude. If I were to have another made, I'd ask her to line the entire thing, as I am a little nervous that the lace will give out at the center gore where the metal hardware is attached.

    It's a beautiful, simple, lightweight and comfy bra and I really like it. It's nice to get bralettes with ... large cups and small bands.

    One of the things I am most grateful to Julia for is her willingness to make changes to her patterns for me. ESPECIALLY for panties. I like low cut panties with narrow sides and tanga backs. They're hard to find. Julia has made me 2 styles in 3 fabrics now and I'm thrilled.

    The ones shown in this photo we have named side-ring tangas. If you contact Julia and want panties like this, just tell her you want April's panties LOL

    Altered band, "Cup" sides brought in. Meaning, if it were a wire, she would've narrowed it.

      This looks so comfortable....and gorgeous. It is compelling to read that the designer and seamstress change the patterns. Yay!!

    There's nothing better, I have learned, than having a bra custom made for you. Julia at Ellesmere Lingerie met with me and then made me 2 bras and matching panties. She took a wire that she would use on a 65F bra and put it on a 60FF bra to give me a narrow wire with the depth I need. Everything is ALMOST perfect - she isn't satisfied with the width of the gore (I am wide-set). It leaves me with some empty space at the inner sides of the cups as well as a tiny bit at the bottom. She is going to note it and make ... adjustments on my next bra.
    The materials are GORGEOUS!! Embroidered tulle and stretch mesh with satin edging.
    I really can't recommend this brand enough. Nothing is impossible. Wire width and cup depth were changed. She made the entire cup our of the embroidered tulle. She cut undies in tanga fit for me. For the extra $50 I spent, it was worth it to save time running around town and sending things back to Amazon.
    Note - her bands are made from mesh, so they are VERY stretchy. I wear a 30/65 in Curvy Kate and Ava, but she made hers a 28/60 for me and they're perfect.

    • Wow, super cool and absolutely gorgeous bra! Are they a place that does customs only locally, or did you order it over the internet?

    • 1

      Robras I am local, but you can work with her via email and she ships everywhere. Her web site is http://www.ellesmerelingerie.com

    • Another beautiful bra! It looks awesome on you!

    • @Wilderness Thank you!!

    • Wow, amazing!

    • Really pretty on you.

    • Gorgeous! The blogger comicsgirlsneedbras has lots and lots of reviews and IG posts on this brand, and also got at least one if not more customized items. She has very high standards and I know she was happy with all of her orders with them.
      AprilGoulding I am not sure about this because it would depend on how mobile your breasts are and where they "want" to sit on your ribcage when unimpeded by underwires and so on, but the gore width might not be the issue so much as the volume/depth on the inner half of the cup as opposed to the sides. People with implants typically need a TON more depth and projection on the inner half and at the cup edge. If your breasts naturally tend to want to point more forwards but get pushed east-west by underwire bras, this may be the problem--and she might be able to fine tune her seam positioning on your next order to create enough room to let the bust sit in a more anatomically correct position i.e. facing the front. Centering the straps more could also help because you appear to have a very small shoulder span and this influences where your breast apex is. It's pretty hard to make boobs sit centered when the straps are lifting from a position that's too far on the side, miles out from the apex.

    • wendybien Thanks! :)

      Yes, I found this brand via (Wen) comics girls.

      My breasts aren't very mobile at all. There are quite bossy. They are where they are and refuse to be pushed around lol

      I have a little more than 2 fingers width between them. It's not a depth issue for sure on these cups.

      Bras have become a laughing matter, actually.I laugh about it because otherwise I'd be quickly frustrated and I was flat chested for so long that I'm just happy to have pretty breasts to fill bras.

      I feel like I ought to wear bras for nipple coverage, etc and I like to wear them because they're sexy but they dont need to hold anything up or in. .

      I've also ordered several EM's in various styles and sizes, so we will see what happens there.
