    Fits

    I am finally realizing that a stretch lace upper panel is fairly key to a great fit for me. I have been so pleased with the fit of my 38HH - Panache » Jasmine (6951) (with extender because the style does not come in a 40 band) that I almost resigned myself to exclusively wearing it and its’ similar cuts Panache Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) and Sculptresse Chi-chi Full Cup Bra (7695). It’s—by FAR—my best fitting style, but those darn Panache tall gores are such a buzzkill on my high-root frame. They peek out of even the most modest of v-necks or ... scoops.

    All the other Elomi styles I have worn have fit so-so on me. They have a tendency to be a bit too wide in the cup, with extra space in the outer cup and not enough allowance in the middle. Is that what's called an east-west issue?

    Anyway, I'm supposed to be discussing the Elomi Jocelyn Plunge Bra (8750) which works well for me because of the stretch lace upper panel. Not as quite perfectly as the Jasmine, but very close. And it's a plunge! Hello v-necks, I've missed you!

    The other Elomi styles that have worked or nearly worked for me were Elomi Betty Plunge Bra (8170), Elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support (8030), Elomi Energise Uw Sports Bra With J Hook (8041), Elomi Rita Multiway Banded Bra (8011), but in each of those I have spillage at the top-center almost regardless of cup size.

    With the Jocelyn (as well as with the Jasmine/Envy) I am able to wear a smaller cup size than I'd otherwise wear in Elomi or Panache, and the lace accommodates my extra fullness. And with the smaller cup size comes narrower/shorter wires which also fit my frame better. A win-win!

    I tried the Jocelyn in a 40HH and also a similar cut (Elomi Edie (4000) ) in 40H, and I was quite surprised that the 38HH fit without an extender. It's either very stretchy or I've gone down a band size. Time to remeasure, I suppose https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    Didn't fit

    First, I should note that I ordered this bra one cup size smaller than I am currently measuring because HH is the largest cup offered in this style. So I do struggle with some quad-boobing, probably due to a combination of the plunge style and the cup size being a bit too small. The band is also quite stretchy, and I found it riding up frequently throughout the day. Unfortunately, since I'm already at the maximum cup size offered, going down a band size would make the cup fit even worse. The straps are also set wider apart than most Elomi bras (probably because it is a plunge ... style), so I struggled with the straps moving throughout the day as well.

    It's a gorgeous bra though, and seems similar in construction to the Elomi Valentina. The cups are sturdy and supportive, and the lace along the top of the cups is stretchy and flexes to accommodate the breast tissue. I'm keeping this bra because it is nice to have a plunge style to wear when I need to, and because the quad-boobing is not as pronounced as it is on other bras. I think if I can find a way to hold the straps in position (perhaps with a clip to hold the straps together in the back) and maybe tighten the band a bit (waiting for the Rixie clip to come out in three hooks!), this could actually be a great bra.

    I would recommend ordering one band size down in this bra.
