Closest to fitting I have gotten. Only problem was the digging in the armpit area caused by the straps being to far apart and the gore being a little to short to be comfortable.

I first bought a Matilda in 36HH and had the same issue with the band being too stretchy and riding up that I have had with other Elomis. The bra fitter at Nordstrom's recommended I don't try to size up a cup, and I think she was right. In fact, I'm almost wondering if I could size *down* a cup, since this one is still a little droopy shaped. But surely a 34HH would be too small?
I like the look of the Matilda and find it scratchy when I first put it on, but then really comfortable as soon as my body adjusts to the fabric. I ... find Elomis more comfortable than Panaches generally and don't have the problems with the wires going too high, even though the wing height is one of the taller ones I've tried.
The Matilda is a four-part cup with sheer, non-stretchy mesh on each panel. The top panel with the embroidered decoration is a finer mesh and the side support panel appears to be reinforced with a second ply. The mesh on the wings is stretchy. Elomis always have really nice, soft felt covering the wires, band, and straps. Oh, the Matilda also has a built-in J-hook to wear the straps in a racerback configuration.

This Matilda is surprisingly comfortable! The mesh doesn't seem particularly soft, but it's comfy enough I think I could wear it all day. The 36HH size is probably wrong for me, as the band is not tight enough. Elomis seem to be stretchier. The top cup is non-stretch mesh, so full-on-top ladies may have more difficulty. I think I'm pretty even vertically, so the cups fit nice and taut, but not tight. I have ongoing difficulties with bands slipping down out of my IMF, maybe due to shape issues, and this is no exception. A 34 band may help.

I tried this bra before when I wore a smaller band size. 40JJ - Elomi » Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) was too big. This one fits much better but it’s still too tall and wide at the sides.

Bought this size based on my measurements, but couldn't fill the cups. Ended up with a 42G that fits perfectly.

This bra has very, very large cups. I needed at least 3 cup sizes smaller. It's also way too high at the gore and under the arms. Wires are too high for my short torso.

Not the best bra for me. The gore is very low, so I don't feel supported and look like I have "butt crack cleavage" even though it tacks. Also, the 4 part cups are too shallow for me - they give my breasts a strange, almost square look. The fabric of this bra is very thin and almost see-through, like a mesh. I do not find it comfortable. One thing I do like about this bra is that it has 3 hooks per row; this makes it feel sturdier than many other bras I have tried in my size. I will be returning this bra as it's not for me overall.

This is the best fitting bra I own, but is still not ideal. Having owned it a few weeks now and worn it regularly, I have realized that the width is slightly too wide for my root and the wires are too flexible and distort slightly with wear which causes digging into my sternum and spillover at the top of the cups that was not present when I purchased it. This might not be an issue for most, but I am also close-set and center full with a narrow root, so the gore needs to be low, narrow, and stay flat enough to support without digging. Sister sizing down seemed to make the spillover worse, so I am still looking for the ideal cut for my shape.

But elomis tend to be wider than some other brands, i think

This one is not.

Fits beautifully and is quite sexy and flattering, however it does separate my breasts in a way that distributes weight well, but doesn't sit as high/forward as I like.

So far I like this bra a lot. The gore tacks perfectly. It's light-weight, sheer (sexy) and comfortable. I love the thin strip of elastic that runs along the top of the cups as that is the one place bras usually are a touch loose on me and the elastic gently helps the top lay flat without pressing into my breasts. I love Elomi - I've tried 4 different styles of their bras and love every single one.

I would try Elomi Tia Bandless Bra (4280). The wires are narrower and a bit shorter. So even though it's not a plunge it has stretch lace so you might be able to size down.
