This bra was the right size, but the cups came up way too high in front for my preference--they were almost at my clavicle! This wasn't a good shape for my full on top boobs, too triangular and too separated. The material was very stiff and a little scratchy; not as luxurious as the Valentina bra.
I normally wear a 36HH, but this is the closest thing I could find that would sort of work. I've taken the band in to make it fit better, but the cups still cut into my boobs a little bit at the top.
Not great, but the only strapless option I could find.
This was a beautiful bra with silky cup material and a lace top. Unfortunately, the band was too big for me and I will have to return it. The straps were rougher than the rest of the bra, and too wide; they did not look very elegant. When I adjusted them high enough for me, the band slid up because it was too big. The lace at the top is stretchy and I could probably fit into the same cup in a smaller band.
This seems like a very sturdy, very supportive bra for the right lady. It's comfortable and certainly covers all of the boob - there's nothing slipping out anywhere. However, the cups appear to run large. I have another bra in the same size by the same brand that fits great, but this one has serious gapping at the top. Also, the lift and separation is a little extreme for my frame, but would probably be great for someone with a different body shape.
This bra was not my size, but worked decently well for my breast shape.
For a plunge the gore was still quite high so I had the same problem in this bra as with other Elomis of way too much coverage even though it was a size or two too small.
The color and detailing were pretty, but the underwire shape was not ideal for me. The width was good, but the actual shape of Elomi underwire bothers me because it is too perfectly circular; I need underwires to get wider on the outside and taper back rather than stay really low along the outside then curve up ...into my arm pit.
Someone with a similar breast shape to mine - or even, ideally, with a little more upper fullness / less lower fullness - would do very well in this bra provided they could get it in their size. If their breast root was lower on their torso, all the better. Elomi cups go up to the collarbone on me and it's just not workable with my wardrobe (or my ideal aesthetic when prancing about in my under things). Read more 82 more words
This bra seemed like it fit perfectly the first time, but that was without the scoop-swoop method. It's a really comfortable bra, nice fabric, good fit. It has definitely started stretching, and major -- I'm already on the tightest hook. The cups are definitely wide and the gore never did tack for me, so I personally would need a narrower, deeper cup but this is still the closest bra to ever fit for me. The cups come up too high for various low-cut dresses (that wouldn't be as low-cut if they had enough room for my boobs -- but I'm solving that by wearing an older bra with too-small, no-support cups and too-big band.
This is my daily bra, because it is the best I have now. I am also new to this whole bra search, and the dd myth. This bra is basically great but for one thing, the wires seems to come back on my body too far. I think the underwire is just too wide. I alway try to bend it into a thinner shape before I put it on.
Another gorgeous bra that doesn't work for my shape https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The cups are vertically seamed and give a really nice round silhouette. Unfortunately the cups were too shallow for me, shape-wise, and the band was a size too big.
Full on top breasts will benefit greatly from the open top on this bra - no digging in and shape-induced quad boob - but they'll have to be shallower FOT boobs than mine.
There's also a good amount of immediately lower projection on these cups, so an even shape would probably do even better than a super full on top bust.
So, the band is big. I knew this would happen, a 34H would have been better. But, still, as G+ babydolls are non-existent, I am thrilled to have found something that kind of works! The quality is outstanding, well done Elomi!
This bra didn't fit well. I think it might be because the cup was a bit large (wrinkling in the upper cup) and my breasts are bottom heavy. I had issues with the gore being to high, the wires poked a bit under the arm and the thing tried to "choke my armpits" by rubbing on my chest near my underarm. I had to fasten it on the last hook....but it was pre-owned and may have had a little bit of previous stretching. The band was very comfy tho and I like the width of the straps
I bought this bra purposely large thinking my boobs would widen and grow after giving birth and continuing breastfeeding, I'm more closer to a 32j and although this is a sister size, the underwires hurt badly because they are so wide and the band is too long. Also, I have two of these in different colors and both of them, the hooks on the band are seriously misshapen.
It's ok, for the most part. The lift is comfortable but not as flattering a silhouette as i'd like, and the cups and sides are high enough that i can't wear a fairly standard ribbed tank top without them showing. In the short run it's very comfortable, but by the end of the day the tip of the center gore was digging into my sternum hard enough to leave me still sore the day after (there's very little in the channel to soften that end). The straps are comfortable and stretchy if *very* wide. As an additional note, i *really* hate lace, and only barely tolerate this embroidery because it was one of the only bras i could find on short notice that i could deal with. In an ideal world, i'd love to see a version with a plunging neckline (rather than the full cup), a little more in the way of flattering lift, and no--that's *absolutely* *zero*--frilly stuff.
This is the first bra that I bought in my "new and correct" size. The gore is fairly high, but it's not a problem unless you a) do a lot of bending over and b) have some tummy that will push it up when you do. I originally thought that the underwires were too far back under my arm, but it sits nicely along the outer curve of my breast tissue. It's a good basic bra - not terribly sexy, but not too plain, either! The lace design on the top of the cups will show through thin material. so beware of that.
This is a very strange fit... the underwire reaches around my side almost to my shoulder blades. the cups arent deep enough, it feels like my breasts are being flattened.. but there is empty fabric at the sides, under my arms.. as though whoever made this bra thought women's breasts are in their armpits. the lift and support is great, the shape is a little pointy, but overall not a good fit for me.
This bra is too small for me, but I get the feeling i would really like it if it fit correctly. the support and uplift is very good, the material is a little stiff but very supportive and seems sturdy. the band seems true to size, and nice and firm. the center gore is low, so nicely avoids being seen under shirt necklines. the cups are a little more full-coverage than the average plunge.
i get severe quad-boob with this bra, though. i would need at least 2 cups up to wear this bra, and unfortunately elomi doesnt make a plunge in 42JJ-K. i wish they did https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The band is a little loose in a 36G but overall this bra fits me very well. Good lift and support with a natural profile in clothes. My biggest issue is that it gives me a very East/West look which I don't care for. That said this bra is extremely comfortable, no back-aches at all and I routinely wear it for 12 hour shifts. I have owned it for almost a year and machine wash it. My husband has also dried it a few times in the dryer and it has help up fantastically! Very good quality. I will definitely be buying more Elomi products for work.
Really lovely bra.. Looks pretty and I think in the right size could give good shape and support. Unfortunately it is about a cupsize or 2 too small. Its hard to tell as the biggest problem is that it has elastic along the top of the cup and this tends to cut in and give a bit of quadding. I am not entirely sure whether this would be eliminated for me in a bigger cup.. I think you probably would not have the problem so much if you are full on bottom. I could also probably get away with a smaller band size, though this would not be unwearable I don't think.
I got this bra primarily because it was recommended as having a similar fit to the Caitlyn, which I do well in, but with a lower gore, which is always a plus. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way for me. The biggest issue, I think, was how weak the wires were -way to flexible and easily distorted for my taste. In terms of sizing,I would also say this ran smaller than the Caitlyn, as I'm sort of between a 34hh bordering on j in the Caitlyn and a 36h was definitely too small in this.
The biggest downer was probably the shape for me - very wide, east/west, and low; I wasn't really getting lift.
On the plus side, the bra was pretty - I felt sort of like a black and white movie star in it, and the fabric felt lovely and silky.
