    Pretty embroidered detail on the cup, textured straps with delicate lacy edging. It sits flat on the sternum. The straps are set too far apart for my narrow frame, though, and rub on my arms when I move them.

    Pretty full cup bra with cup bottoms in a satiny fabric and cup tops in mesh. The straps are fairly centered on the cups, which works better with my shape. There are 3 hooks per row on the back, which makes this bra feel sturdier than its 2-hook counterparts. Overall, this bra is quite comfortable for me; I fill the cups well and the gore tacks. My only issue with is is that the elastic at the bottom of the band tends to roll up part way through the day, which becomes painful overtime. I have found that shortening the straps helps with this issue, probably since the bra stays in my IMF better when the straps are shorter. Overall, a dependable everyday bra.

    Fits much more comfortably than the Elomi Caitlyn in the same size, but still too big. Wires in armpits. Gore doesn't tack. Cups baggy. If the gore would tack, it would fit perfectly.

    • Cups too large but gore does not tack.... that does not seem right. But the band rides up a little in your fourth photo. How about @40:14? I am a little smaller than you but I had to go down in band size and way up in cup letters before I got the gore to tack.

    Love the bra. Very pretty. Good support.
    Seams somewhat visible under certain tops but I'm ok with that https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    I tried this bra on in store, but I didn't end up buying it because it was not comfortable. It's too tall and digs into my sternum.

    I both love and sometimes hate this bra. The cups, band, straps, and center gore fit perfectly. It looks nice on, but isn't overly flashy and gives a nice silhouette. It is very well made and the material is sturdy, so it should hold up well over time.
    There is only one downside, the underarm wire. Sometimes it is fine, sometimes just slightly uncomfortable, and at times it is downright painful. The wire goes up too high on the underarms, but usually sits close enough to my ribcage that it doesn't hurt. Other times the very end of it slips outward a bit and starts jabbing me painfully in what I call my "underarm love handles."

    • Have you tried the @Elomi Etta or the @Elomi Yolanda? They are designed specifically to have lower wires under the arm.

      I have not tried either of those yet, thanks for the suggestion.

    I had a feeling from looking at images of this bra that it would be a shape mismatch because I have never fit well in full coverage bras, but I decided to give a try because it was so widely recommended. And indeed, it was bad. I'm probably in a cup size too large, but I don't think going down would fix that. The underwire extends very far wide, and there is a ton of empty room at the top of the bra. Also, the core twisted oddly. Despite being very high, the gore didn't poke me, and I think it's because this bra was pushing by breasts apart and they were not as close together at the top as they sit in most bras.

    Wires were too long, reached all the way to my back and poked me in the arm. the straps were also too wide and cut into my armpits.

    Cate in the guava colorway is bright and festive. It is not ornate, but pretty enough and quite comfortable. I personally don't like the shape it gives, though.

    Cate has smooth, satiny bottoms with non-stretch lace uppers with a pattern of tall arches. The gore is a breathable mesh. The straps are ridged on the top surface, felted below. They are fully adjustable, but keep in mind that when tightened, the ridges on the top wrap around to the bottom, which may be uncomfortable if you have sensitivities. The cup of the cups is more triangular on top, giving quite full coverage. Cate also appears to have more fabric in the upper cup than some other models, leading to a lower apex. On me, this leads to a cone shape that I can certainly do without. Cate also is wider in the cup and gives a wider profile than the Morgan or Kim.
