My usual Elomi size is 36GG, the same as Freya. But since Elomi runs a bit tighter in the band than Freya, & this style tops out at a G, I went with 38G.
My boobs are full on top & wide-ish at the root, but with some projection.
Elomi is generally too wide for me. I have Hermione & Abbi; both are wider & more shallow & give a more spread out shape this Lara. This is actually my favorite fit from Elomi so far. The shape is gorgeous & rounded. Uplifted, but not jacked up to my chin. The padding is fairly thin & non-bulky, much more ... natural looking & comfy than the Deco, for e.g.
But it's not perfect. The sides come higher than I like - or than I think is necessary. It's what makes Panache unwearable for me, even at 5'9". This isn't that bad, but at 5" the wing is at my pit, where no bra needs to be. The only discomfort I felt was chafing at that point. The straps, now these they got right. They are set at the shoulder but not too wide, as Curvy Kate's are, so no chafing there. And they are a great soft, wide material with no poorly finished edges that result in cutting as I find with Panache & CK. Cup size is not generous, but it could have used a little more depth.
Also, these cups are cut looooow. This is a true 1/2 cup. They ended an inch above my nips. Though I felt quite secure. No danger of popping out even when bending, etc. Gave a great look under a tissue T, wo no show thru.
