I LOVE this bra! I wish it fit properly. I was fitted to the wrong size in a professional shop. My band size should be 36" but I was told 38" so I ordered this in the wrong size. Keeping that in mind, I have not worn this other than to try it on so I can't speak of durability or anything that would need to be considered long term. However, it looks beautiful while on and it gives a lovely shape to my breasts. I will be buying a new one in the correct size as soon as possible.
This bra feels nice to wear. The straps are comfortable and the fabric is not itchy. The shop where I was fitted did not have my fitted size (38) in stock so the woman altered the 40in band. Unfortunately, it seems I take a 36in band and the band on this particular bra is incredibly stretchy so it is a poor fit. This is my least favorite bra of any bras I own. I would not even repurchase it in the correct size.
This bra is amazingly comfortable. I like the feel of the fabric and the straps. However, the wires come up too far under my arms for my liking. The band does seem quite stretchy. Unfortunately I believe I was measured improperly because the the band rides up in the back and the cups squish my breasts a bit. While the wires and pattern are not to my liking, the style and feel of the bra is great. It would be nice for an everyday comfortable full coverage bra.
stormyeyez742 I actually just bought this same bra in a 36G and was comparing its measurements to yours - they're identical except the 36G has a 1" shorter wire, and the band size fits a maximum of 37". It sounds like it might be a better fit for you.
This is the first "correctly" sized bra I've purchased, and I don't think I could be happier with it. The straps are very comfortable and don't dig into my skin. The underwire does poke a tiny bit, but only after I've had the bra on for a few hours.
One of my standby bras all throughout my weight journey. Biggest I had was a 42G I think. Have owned at least 8 of these over the last 5 years or so in a range of sizes. This one is a little worn out, needs to be replaced. They cup is a little small, and I tried on a 34G, but the cup was too big! They didn't have a 34FF for me to try, that's next on my list. I sewed in a bra extender to tighten the band because it's stretched out.
Cups are now too small (dang weight gain again), and the band is a little stretched out. I sewed in an extender to add hooks for a tighter fit. But when I hook it where I like it, my boobs really pop out the sides and top. Would love to replace this with current size, or just loose the weight! Fantastic bra. It gives me kind of a pointy boob shape, I've always called this my alien bra. Kinda sci-fi with the cone boob. Great support. I had this bra before I lost 130 pounds, it was in a 40G. Loved it then too.
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. Read more 145 more words
Couldn't reccomend this bra enough. Separates boobs like nothing else. Perfect if you're looking for an everyday bra or a bra to wear with low-cut clothing. Extra support on side of cup.
pros + very comfortable AND supportive + soft and smooth fabric + strong wires + padded wire channels + comes in pretty colors
cons - very very wide wires - band feels a bit loose, wearing it on tightest setting (I'd prefer a 32 band) - fabric comes up very high, no bra for low cut tops - gore is a bit wide... does float about 0.5cm away on top but that's because my boobs are very close set.
I really like this bra! It used to fit me best when I was carrying a few extra pounds. Now I feel that the band is a bit too big and there is some slight ...gaping on top where the cups meet the straps. The wires are like all Elomi wires much too wide on me! There is about 1.5-2cm empty fabric on the side. Despite those issues it's still a very supportive bra. It's also one of the most comfortable bras I've ever tried. It supports me when I am active but I can also take a nap in it without any discomfort. I could even use it as a sleep bra, I think. I barely feel the wires! The shoulder straps are wide and fully adjustable. The shape is okay, not pointy but also not very uplifted. It makes boobs look more wide from the front and less projected from the side.

It fits! Not great but better than anything I've been wearing lately. And Pretty! The gore is a comfortable height. It lies flat against my sternum. The cups are really wide. The end of the wires are actually back of my arm pits. An odd feeling, but not uncomfortable (granted I've not worn it all day yet - if a problem, I will update this) The bottom of the cups are full (I'm bottom heavy). The tops of the cups are bit loose, but not terribly. I will put in a few stitches & it will be much better.( I will stick to balconette styles from now on.) The band is on the tightest setting & I still have a bit of room (but I like my bands on the loose side). I will definitely be ordering my bras in a 34" and I am planning to loose some weight. All in all I like it so far. Like I said, it's the best fitting bra I own to date .
how is the cener spillage with soft tissue? we have similar issues haha FoB...soft....though my shoulders are actually on the broader side. haha. ive wondered if this was more like a balconette then a plunge.
The bra band fit is more loose than at first and I now am over filling the cups. It is still the only bra I own that comes close to my best fit...still looking.
This bra is cute, comfortable, and supportive. The band was a little loose for my liking, but that's my fault for buying the wrong band size (I usually wear a 38). My breasts have unfortunately increased several sizes since purchasing this bra, so it no longer fits in the cups. I wish this bra wasn't discontinued so I could find it in my current size!
This is a very sexy, exquisitely detailed bra. It's nice to have a beautiful plunge bra for larger cup sizes, I only wish the range extended beyond GG cups. My breasts have increased several cup sizes since purchasing this, and absolutely will not fit into this bra anymore. Very sad, because it made me feel so gorgeous! I recall finding the band a little tight when I first received it though, so I probably wouldn't wear it for more than a few hours.
This was one of my favorite bras when I wore this size. It's incredibly comfortable and supportive, and the leopard print is pretty cute. Strap positioning is perfect. I wish they made it in larger cup sizes so I could get one in my current size!
Pros: -Comfortable, nice material makes it a terrific everyday bra -Decent shape -Big, generous deep cups -Very supportive
Cons: -Straps are kind of rough around the edges, they could definitely do with being wider and/or padded -Band seems stretchy
Cons for me: -Underwire digs into my ribs a bit. May be because of too large of band
I really like these bras. I have bought several in differing sizes and I always return to it because it's so comfortable to wear even in the wrong size! And it's very supportive. I feel like my girls aren't going anywhere. However, the band rides up a bit in the back for me, I have gaps between the top ...of the breast and the straps, and tightening the straps to eliminate the gap makes the whole bra really tight, so tight it's like trying to put on a 30 band on me (my underbust is 31 inches).
Yet it still rides up. So I think this bra would work better for me in a 32KK but elomi unfortunately does not go up that high. I doubt it would fix the gap and the underwires adding uncomfortable pressure to me may or may not be fixed by this. My breasts are also too close together for this bra for it to ever sit on my sternum I've learned now. Still, it's silky and comfortable and provides a sturdy, decent, if slightly pointed shape so I will still wear this until I find something better.
Great bra--very comfortable and supportive. It is about one or two cup sizes too small for me at the moment though. After a few weeks of wear, one of the wires popped out of the gore. I was very disappointed with this, especially because I was very careful to only hand-wash and line-dry this bra. However, I own this same bra in a larger cup size and have not had this issue, so it may have been a fluke.
stormyeyez742 I actually just bought this same bra in a 36G and was comparing its measurements to yours - they're identical except the 36G has a 1" shorter wire, and the band size fits a maximum of 37". It sounds like it might be a better fit for you.
