I bought this 40H Elomi Izzy Bandless Bra (8790) at Nordstrom Rack for $24.45, including tax, to enter its measurements into Bratabase. I'll offer to let a friend buy it at cost from me. If she doesn't, it'll go back.

Elomi calls the color Hummingbird. The cups are a medium value, shiny purple with same color dots embossed as part of its texture. I LOVE the edging at the top of the cups. I'll try to capture it in a photograph. It's as though someone drew a cartoon of a mesh strip that is ruffly along the top edge because the mesh is ruched with a bright pink ... bow through the middle along its entire length. But the whole thing is flat! They embroidered the whole optical illusion! I have never seen such a thing in a bra. Why the heck has no one done this for one of my bras???!

In any case, this means this seemingly extravagant decoration will probably not show through clothing. I am very impressed and deeply covetous of this embroidered mesh. If I could sew well, I would consider dismembering this bra and transplanting the mesh onto something I can wear. Since I typically wear 30F, I'll have to admire this Elomi bra from a distance.
