Me: shallow, full on bottom, pendulous from weight loss, wide roots, short waisted, petite.
I am just about to be sized out of Elomi. 😭 My previous love was the @Elomi Rita in a 36G, because the wires didn't cut into my armpits like the 38G @Elomi Caitlyn. (I pretty much wait to get a new bra when I'm on the last hooks and the cups look like sad plastic grocery bags lol)
My previous experience with plunge bras has been limited to Wal-Mart plunge bras, which my boobs would always be trying to escape out of the center while the outer part of the cup would be empty toward ... the straps... And yet although I didn't know at the time, the cups were way too small for me. However, I really like the Carmen Plunge. Maybe it's because it's more like a full coverage bra, but with a lower gore. I really like the lower gore because on the Rita it would stab me. This bra is so comfy! I think it is because of how stretchy the band is. I was able to put it on the tightest hook comfortably.
When I wear the straps regularly, I have the same emptiness towards the outer part of the cup near the strap. I suspect that it's just part of the shape of my breasts. There is minimal quadding at the inner part of the cup, toward the gore that diminishes as the curve of the cup goes higher. When I wear the straps using the J-hook, there is more noticeable quadding toward the gore, but the outer part of the cup is filled more. But this means I have to loosen the straps so that it doesn't strangle my back/neck.
The fabric is a nice color for me, it almost matches my skin in Sand. But compared to the fabric of the Rita and Caitlyn, I kinda feel like I'm wearing furniture. It's a stiff fabric. Although the wires are the right width for my roots, there's wrinkling at the sides of the cup toward the top. I like that compared to the Rita and Caitlyn, when I move my arms forward in front of me, the outer part of the cup doesn't cut into my armpit.
Based on the fit of this bra, I'm starting to think I might have center fullness. Or that could just be the shallow shape. Overall I'm happy with this bra. It feels like a good every day bra. This is the most comfortable bra I've had yet.
