    Didn't fit

    I really want this bra to fit, but it doesn't quite fit. The band is comfortable and the gore mostly tacks, but it slightly "turns left" to rest on my larger, left breast. The bottom of the cups is well filled and doesn't give me the strange "square boob" effect I often get but the top of the cups is much too big, with lots of wrinkling going on. I will (unfortunately) be returning this bra.

    Didn't fit

    Another bra that I wish would fit. I like the idea of the Etta because the issue I have with my other Elomi bras (Cate and Caitlyn) is that the part of the band that's under the underwire rolls over itself during the day and becomes painful. Etta has zero fabric in that location, so it looks like it would be an improvement, but I haven't found the right size yet. The 34 band is very tight on me (uncomfortably so) and the gore doesn't tack by about 2". I will probably reorder this in a 36 band and 1 to 2 larger cup sizes to see if I can find an Etta that fits.

    I tried this bra in 34HH and 36H and found that the upper cup edge cut in somewhat, so I tried this size. It seemed to fit well when I tried it on, but on further wearing the cup is too big. The armpit edge cuts into my tail of spence. Also this bra might be less stretchy than the 34HH which was great except for the quadding. Using an extender helps a little with comfort but not quite enough.

    That it really wasn't designed for my body type.

    The salon where I bought it is enthusiastic about fitting clients who've never had a good bra before, for whom 80% fit is miles better than anything they've ever had; the shop is not so enthusiastic about finding the right bra for clients who want really great fit.

    I hadn't bra shopped in a while and my body had changed, and former-favorite brands' quality had decreased, so I wasn't as picky as I should have been. My bad. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

    Good: the straps have a hook and eye on vertically adjustable sliders, so you can convert the bra to racerback style.

    Me: Pendulous, center-full, need a lot of projection, soft tissue.

    The band is surprisingly firm. Most Elomi bands run large or stretchy in my experience. Maybe this one would stretch out with wear, I'm not sure.

    The wires are short enough that their width wouldn't really bother me. They didn't feel pokey at all, despite ending more past my arm pit than before it. Unfortunately, the wide wires and the wide gore do not suit my shape. The gore didn't tack at all and mostly just sat on my center-full breast tissue. I also got a really unflattering east-west shape. I imagine this bra could be good for a lot of people in the small band, large cup range, but not me unfortunately.

    Like the 44F I tried in this same style, the band would be fine with an extender until it softened up. It stretches, but it feels quite firm. The cups are just entirely too small. Pretty looking bra, though!

    44F

    Didn't fit

    The band is very firm on this, so while it stretches to 44 in., it still feels quite tight. If I were keeping it, I'd probably wear it with an extender until it softens up a bit. The cups are also too small - they cut in to my tissue on the top, and I've got spillage out the sides. It's a lovely bra, and it seems like it has enough immediate projection for me, but I haven't found the right size for me yet.

    SPREADS ACROSS THE FRONT!!! If you're looking for a bra that pulls in the "side boob", this is NOT the bra for you. When standing with arms down at your sides, part of your arms is covered by the breast tissue that is not cinched in. Not good for us short girls (as it makes us look wider). Good support though, and the "j hook" at the back allows me to finally wear racer-back tops without showing bra straps! For me, that is this bra's saving grace! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

      Its one of those things that always cracks me up. I want a bra the keeps my boobs front and center, but doesnt smoosh them together. Some ppl like to leave their boobs wide, so it balances their hips. and of course some just want cleavage.

      If you don't like the wide boob then do not try any of Elomi's other bras except maybe their plunges. They have wires that spread back, great for wide roots but terrible for keeping boobs to the front. This one is actually the most forward facing they make.

      panache/cleo are narrow. and polish brands

    • dbmamaz I see - thank you! I will likely be shopping this weekend, so I will check it out! Can you suggest a good Polish brand? Sadly, I am not as curvy in the hips as I am up top, so I would really love to find something that pulls me in a bit...

      cupandahalf thank you! I will keep that in mind and see what plunges they have to offer me that might work better for me!

    • When you're bra shopping try an unlined Curvy Kate too!

    • Panache and Cleo have some narrow bras...for UK bras...but they're not necessarily all that narrow.

      Etta is actually more narrow than the narrowest of Panache's offerings by quite a bit.

    Fits

    Lovely bra, my breasts feel very secure and I get a nice shape from this one. I am breastfeeding, so one side is quite a bit bigger than the other. Both breasts fit nicely in the cups with no gaping. I like the little peekaboo detail at the gore, and the straps can be converted in back for tank tops.

    Very well made bra , pretty details on upper cup. Bought it when I was much heavier and never wore it so can't give a fit report.
