The Elomi Sakura bra is actually a discontinued style, however, the new ‘Libby’ is built on the same frame. The Libby is available in sizes 36-42 E-JJ and 44 E-G in Raisin/Chocolate for...

42 bras

Super supportive and as pretty as you can expect for a nursing bra.

This one had a comfortable fit, if a little high on my neckline for my tastes. Only problem was the width between the cups was too spread out for my boobs.

I was happy to find a deep plunge from my favourite company Elomi. Unfortunately I usually wear a 40GG with Elomi and the largest cup on a 40 band in this bra is 40G. Since some of my bras fitted a bit loose in the cup at the time, I was determined to see whether I could squeeze myself into this bra. (I was hoping for something similar to the Freya Deco, which some people with H/HH cups can get into.)

Sadly, it wasn't to be. First, the rim of the cup cut in horribly. While this prevented my soft boobs from falling out, it also made it obvious ... that the cup was too small. I also had issues with the push-up pad (yep, figure that, a push-up pad in a 40G bra) digging into the sides of my breasts. I have a very wide root, while the wires of the bra were similar in width to the Elomi Cleo Bandless in 40GG and ok for me, the push-up pad worked like a very narrow wire. It squeezed breast tissue between the pad and my ribs and was very painful for me. In addition the push-up pad took away the volume I would have needed to make this bra work for me.

Since the push-up pads were part of the moulded cup, I could not remove the push-up pad without damaging the bra.

I like how much coverage this bra provides, and that it is relatively pretty. The straps dig into the shoulders and the band rides up. I hadn't measured the band and its stretchiness -- which fully stretched is more than six inches bigger than my rib cage.

It isn't a bad fit, but it isnt' great.

This bra is pretty, for a fairly basic bra. Three of the four cup sections are smooth satin with the upper part mesh with embroidery and the band mesh. Like most (all?) Elomi bras, it gives a somewhat wide and downward slanted ("natural-looking" ) shape.

It is fairly comfortable, though the bit of band under the cups immediately rolls up.

I really can't figure out what's going on with the fit of this bra, neither size 34K nor 34JJ seems to be quite right. I appreciate that this one comes in a 34K, unlike many other Elomi bras, but I think I still need another band size smaller. Or else for the band not to be so stretchy. I think the 34K I tried on was more stretched out than the 34JJ, so that explains some of the band-fit difference.

The blackberry is a very pretty purple.

The Elomi Jasmine is one of my favourite bras, at least it has that cut of the Elomi Cleo Side Support that works so well for me. In looks it is a bit meh, which is why I never bought it.

I got the 38G in white for my mother, bc she wanted a white bra, sadly it didn't fit her.

This bra is a plunge and it gives me plunge-related quadboob. The rim of the cup cuts in despite the bra being the right size.

As usual the wires are too narrow on me. But somebody else might find the wires to be quite wide.

The band is relatively firm and doesn't stretch easily. I bought this bra used compared to some of my other Elomi bras it is still as firm as if it was brand-new.

This thing is interesting. It looks hella hot, but the fit is a little strange. When I wear it, I put the top 2 hooks on the loosest setting (setting? there's gotta be a better word for that), then the next one in the middle, and all the rest on the tightest. The fact that it's pulled so tight in the back makes the cups stretch wider than the measurements I recorded and makes my boobs look more horizontal-oval shaped than I really like. It's also way too loose on me at the bottom. I'm a 33" waist and 42" hips, if that helps. I bought it to function as a strapless bra, but it also has straps, which drastically reduce the horizontal shape of the cups, and garters.

I really wish elomi would make all their bras in a 32 band (and smaller)! I absolutely love the shape they give me and these bras a perfect under close fitting clothes and t-shirts.

This 34 band is definitely too large for me. I put it on using the tightest hooks and it is still pretty big. If I take it in though, I think this bra would be great! It has one of the most comfortable bands I have ever worn and the fabric is so smooth. I also think the cups might be a little bit big for me since there is a bit of emptiness on the top outside part of the cups near the armpit. However, this might also be due to the band. When I tighten the band with pins, that wrinkling goes away and fits quite smoothly. I think I might order a 34FF anyways just to see if that would fit better.

This bra is very, very pretty, with a double-layer mesh cup (no opaque lining!) and pretty embroidery along the top edge of the cup only (where it will not show so much through clothes) and nice details like decorated straps. The fuchsia is a lovely bright pink.

It is about as comfortable as an all-mesh bra can be, I think. It is "bandless" under the cups and has my favorite Elomi feature: the side-support panel. It makes a fairly wide and downward-sloped shape. The band is very stretchy.

It fits me best when I tighten the straps a lot, but then the edge of the cup cuts into the outside edge of my breast/armpit. The underwires are not too stiff and not too bendy.

Very usefull bra, good quality and a perfect t-shirt bra. A bit boring look.

I can use it even thought it's a cup bigger, I think it's because it is a moulded bra.
It's not really a cup bigger, it's just that I don't fill it on the sizes and the band is to big for me, I think maybe a 34J would be a better match. I'll probably buy one sooner or later.

It's label says 36GG UK and 36J US. A 36GG would have been small for me, as I use to wear 36H, but this bra feels as if it was a 36J UK.
I think it may run big in the cup, but I can quite say it because I'm not sure which is my regular size right now.
But it's definitely bigger than my Panache Tango II 36H.

This bra was one of the first post surgery plunge bras that I bought. I felt more sexy than in a long time. The seamless cups have built-in push-up pads that helped supplement some lost volume from my rapid weightloss. Its perfect for low necklines, thin fabric and clingy knits. It made me feel very confident and sexy. And I know its silly but I love love love the little corset laceup detail. Too bad Elomi doesn't make bras for my new body type.

Be careful with that confidence though, popping out may happen when alcohol is involved!

This is a pretty comfortable bra, however I feel I need to come down a size in the back and probably cup-up (38H)

This is a lovely full coverage bra though and for someone with a large set of breasts, this is a very nice non-jiggle option. I LIKE the shape - but it is quite high and pointy. I do find that after a while the wire on the side pokes me a bit, but I feel this is my fit issue on the bra back. I like his bra. I feel it offers me excellent support, also.

I actually really like this bra.
Too bad it doesn't actually come in my size.
I think I will see if I can pick it up on sale, though, and tighten the band up with some stitches so that it will fit. The cup fits well.
It fits very similarly to my Goddess Kiera's, I think it's pretty much the same basic shape but with pretty patterned material and lace detailing on the cup edges. It features my favorite feature, the side support panel. (Although I could use a little bit more coverage on the outside edge of the cup.)
Like the Kiera, it creates a natural, slightly downward-pointing shape. Easy to wear, but certainly nothing too fancy.
I think the center gore is a bit lower than the Kiera, which I really like.

I really, really wish Elomi (and Goddess) would make more sizes. I would love to see everything come at least down to a 34 band, 32 even better and up to a K cup.

This bra is extremely difficult to fasten due to the vertical width of the band and it having 4 hooks.
It's hard to say what I think about this bra because it doesn't really fit right. (As usual, I would do much better with something like a 32K, but it doesn't come any smaller band or bigger cup.)
The material is thick and fairly stiff, which is good for a sports bra, it helps make it pretty suppportive.
The straps are relatively close together, and slightly pointed in, which I actually like for the purpose.
I really can't get past how hard it is to put on (and even to take off) without yanking the hooks out of their attachment.

I love this bra. It actually makes my boobs sit in front of me instead of wide. It's definitely no push-up, but as an every day bra, it's perfect. Definitely buy it snug because it will stretch in the band.

This bra really keeps me in and up. I like it for blouses, t-shirts, and when I want to be really perky. The design on top does show with tight outfits. I don't like wearing it in hot weather. It's so close to the body, I can't wipe the sweat away easily. I wash it on delicate in the washing machine.

Best nursing bra I've found. Fabric is soft and comfortable. Lift is better than other nursing bras I've tried. Can open the cups one-handed but need both hands to do them up again. Good support. Soft cup, no underwire. Does not show through t-shirts.

I like this bra, but it is simply too small for me in 40 GG. I think that in 40 GG it contains the same wires as the Elomi Smoothing Plunge in 40 G, this is what gives me all kinds of problems with this bra. First the wires are narrower than those of the Elomi Cleo Side Support in 40 GG to begin with (which are also too narrow for me), second the wire ends inside the wire tube in the center gore. This causes some poking into the breasts. If the wire tube was filled completely (as it is in 40 H) it would be fine. The center gore also is wider than average, which I find uncomfortable. Part of it might have been that the fabric that forms the center gore panel stretched out. When I wear the bra my boobs push the center gore together and it forms a fold, so it is ok, but not great.
