    38GG

    Fits

    This bra fits great. I own it in two colors. The pattern and the flowers are cute. It fits very similar to my elomi valentina. My only complaint is the fabric choice- It is a little scratchy. I wear it less often because of that.

    Hasn't set fit

    I love this bra so much I ended up with three of them in different colors. At first I didn't like it - the fabric seemed a little scratchy and I wasn't used to a bra that fit so well it gave me two distinct boobs. But the fabric didn't bother me once I put the bra on and it was very comfortable and breathable. The gore tacks perfectly. And I fill the cups perfectly so long as I stoop&scoop. The underwires go a little high on the side but I've learned to live with it.

    Didn't fit

    This almost fits, and is comfortable - the upper cup material is quite stiff but not itchy at all; on the contrary it feels supportive given its plunge appearance. Which, in itself, isn't very plunge-like. The gore is fairly high. There's little forward projection in this and it gives a very east-west shape which may suit certain items of clothing I own, but not all. In fact, it feels almost like there's a minimising effect because it's so east-west.

  4. I love this bra for those times when I'm dressing up, but I don't do that much, and since I'm not willing to do underwires most of the time, this bra doesn't get much wear. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    This bra is gorgeous and it has great support but the straps are too wide-set for me. the rub at my shoulders and arm pits and rubbed my skin raw after just a few hours.

    34G

    Didn't fit

    I also have this bra (and several of it's "cousins") in 36E. The band on the 36E was obviously too big, so I altered it myself, and the cups were a touch on the small side. I am pretty sure I really needed a 34FF, but since that wasn't available, I decided to just see how bad of a fit the 34G was. Well...

    The band length is perfect. I couldn't ask for a more perfect band tightness--it's the Goldilocks of bands. The cups however, were just plain wrong for me. I fill the bottom OK, but the top has unsightly wrinkles--more on my smaller side than my larger, ... but still. The center gore tacked--almost too good. It dug in quite painfully, which on other bras back before I realized that you actually *can* buy a true plunge, I used to solve by wadding up a cottonball or something else under the center gore to soften it. That cottonball trick didn't work on this bra. If it would have fit elsewhere, I might have tried to bend the wires out, but since it didn't, I left it alone.

    The cups come up too high on the side. When you are petite, it's a fine line between too high and tolerable. For me, too high and too wide-set straps were another set of deal breakers. These wires feel like they wrapped clear around to my back, and I'm always amazed at how big of a jump it can be between cup sizes. Especially when you're messing around with sister sizing and they don't make exactly what you need.

    A note: the fabric is scratchy until it's been washed 3 or 4 times. Or at least that was my experience with the other 2 Betty's I've owned. I'm still not completely sold on the whole mesh thing, but since I am not constantly thinking about it, obviously it's not bothering me that much. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

    34H

    Didn't fit

    This bra is beautiful in turquoise with purple embroidery. I love how it looks. The fabric is rough but generally is not a problem EXCEPT as it rubs on my arms as I move around (though the arm holes of my blouses). It's annoying but not painful. It's top edge is slightly tight on my right breast but fits fine on the left. It's a good hot weather bra as it's very breathable. I wish it was softer on the outside of the band under my arms. It looks good under dark tees and all my blouses. This bra is getting softer with usage--much less annoying ... under the arms and now is one of my more favorites.

    I am up dating this experience because now I have owned this bra and have worn it a lot since I got it. It no longer is scratchy or annoying and its fit is still one of the most comfortable I own, I can wear it for 20 hours and not notice it. When I bought it I could only hook the loosest hooks, I am now wearing it on the middle hooks. I wear this bra a lot especially now in the fall and winter it doesn't show though light summery clothing. I love that it's bandless. I love that my boobs are separated and don't end up sweating the way boobs do when pushed together when wearing a wireless bra. I will never wear wireless again. Don't be put off by the material, it softens and breathes wonderfully. I think it's excellent all the way around and will be ordering more.

    34GG

    Fits

    My review is the same for this bra in the purple colourway: I bought this in my sister size of 34GG as plunge bras in my usual size that work for my shape (average on top, fairly close set, FOB, projected) are hard to find (I usually wear a 32H). The cup shape works for me and the bra is pretty. I thought I could get away with a 34 band but have found it too loose. I might try taking the band in as otherwise this is a really nice plunge bra.

      Elomi is coming out with a 32 band in October. It's a plunge called Carmen. Check it out on their website.

    • I will do, thank you.

    34H

    Didn't fit

    I am pendulous, short rooted, even, center full and narrowish.

    I love the color on this bra. It's the dark turquoise blue, with white polka dots, purple flower embroidery and purple ribbons. Such a pretty bra.

    This is a 4 part cup that with the straps a little closer together that most bras I have come across. Straps are fully adjustable with metal fastenings. The strap is a little wide, but that's fine. Cup is TTS and the band is slightly loose for a 34. But only a little.

    Cups are good, and the gore tacks. Because I am so center full the lace cuts in and I have a bit of quadboob that is exacerbated by soft tissue + plunge. I have now given up on plunges. Lace is also not stretch lace at all. So not the right bra for me. Well made, and I just love the look of it.
