Straps a little too stretchy, so they do not stay up.

Elomi is a brand that really suits me. They are pretty consistent in sizing so the 38h has fit me in several styles. The Suzie has a nice snug, firm band. Hooking it on the loosest hook works the best. The cups are pretty full coverage, which I like. I don't have any cutting-in. It gives me great support and good shape. It's fairly boring in appearance, but I'll sacrifice looks for comfort and fit.

The Elomi Abi has VERY stiff under wire that seriously digs into my ribs. It was a lot of bra & I hated the way it looked on me.

I think Elomi is really suited to my shape. This bra gives great support and lift and a nice rounded shape. The band is snug enough, but I do hook it on the middle hooks. The bra looks a little boring though. The chain link embroidery along the top of the cup is cute. It's made from a stiff and sturdy fabric. I don't see this bra stretching out any time soon!

The center gore rises higher than my breasts, pushing my shirt up and off me when I sit (I am very high set and often have this problem with full cups), and the band sides are nice and thick (@3") but roll under my arms making this bra incredibly uncomfortable. I don't quite fill the top of the cups, but seem to fill the bottom of it fairly well. It's a well-constructed, high quality bra, but the style is wrong for my rounded body.
Note that the center gore height measured (3") and the wing height measured (4") are misleading because the bottom of the center gore starts 1.5" above the bottom of the cup, and the bottom of the wing height starts 1" above the bottom of the cup.

I really like this bra. The band is pretty true to size and has just a bit of firm stretch. The cups are pretty full but nicely enclose all my breast tissue. I get a bit of wrinkling along the top on one side, and at the bottom on both sides. However I think this bra is a good fit. As it softens up with wear and as my boobs settle into it over time I think it will be great. I feel nice and snug and secure with no poking. This is the kind of bra I would wear on a busy day when I don't want to worry about adjusting a bra or having not enough support. It's not the sexiest bra, but it gives a nice rounded shape and looks pretty basic, but nice.

I really like this bra. It's super comfortable for all day wear and I love the pattern. It runs true to size, and the lace part of the cups fits really well. It has just enough stretch to fit nicely without creating gaps or cutting in, but still be supportive.

I am very upset this bra doesn't work for me. It is so beautiful and I so wanted the Seabreeze color coming out in January. I find this bra doesn't lift my girls up quite as high as I would like. Also it gives a little to much of the east west look for my liking. I've tried on the Betty before and I have to say I prefer the Betty. I might go buy that one now instead. The band on this felt a little large which is true for most Elomi's but as a 34 I have no option to go down. The band definitely feels bigger than the Betty. The cup size is accurate. This bra is going back https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Kind of a basic looking bra. Gives good support and shape even though the cups are too big for me. Seems comfortable but I didn't wear it long-term. Nice, soft fabric. Definitely a full-coverage bra. Comes up pretty high so it's not good for low-cut shirts. This seems like a great everyday bra for a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl.

Nice textile, very comfortable during all the day

So close. The cups are barely too small for me. However, the wires are much too wide, and so flimsy that they stretch out to 11"! Band is scratchy, but the cup material is very soft on the inside. It's a pretty bra, just made much too wide. The 4-part cup construction adds too much fabric on the sides where I don't have enough tissue to warrant it. Much wider than the panache tango plunge. Band was too loose, probably thanks to the stretchy wires.

This style is a good fit for me and provides a nice shape. plunge and balcony style seem to fit my boobs' shape best, but this one works okay. the bra is well made and quite pretty. straps are solid and wide and do not dig into my shoulders. gore sits perfectly flat on my sternum and the under-wires do not dig into my armpits. 8 hour comfy, and not comfy enough to sleep in, (for me, that is the ultimate comfort test - can i sleep in it comfortably?). this is a full coverage cup.

I’m roping my Briony and Abi reviews together because they are, essentially, the same exact bra. The Elomi Briony in claret is available in sizes 36-42 E-JJ, and 44 E-G for abou...
