  1. Tori Plunge Bra (4370)

    This bra is amazing! I love it so much! It really gives me a much needed confidence boost. It's like the most beautiful bra I own. I just find this color combination so pretty and classy.

    About the fit:
    Yes I'd say that it fits. It's not prefect but I expected much worse. I think 32J is the best size for me in this bra. The only fit issue I have is that the bra is a bit shallow at the center and that the top section of the cups is not very open. This is a problem because I have soft full on top boobs. So when I put ... the bra on there is no quadboob but once I've worn the bra for a while there is just some slight quadding, because some soft tissue just wants to escape the cups. On the other side, I used to have issues with plunge bras in the past. My boobs just "fell out" of them because the gore was too low. With this bra that is not the case, despite the low gore everything stays mostly in place.

    The band fits me quite well at 31 inch underbust and I say that the band is quite firm. The wires are super sturdy (like Panache wires, yay!) and the whole construction feels very supportive. The lace part at the gore can be removed, which is quite good so I can use the bra also as a regular plunge bra too without showing off too much under low cut tops. The only negative thing I have to say... I found the fabric a bit itchy. I hope it will soften with a few washes.

      This is beautiful on you! You could be a model for this particular bra, for real. It looks so gorgeous.

      For the fabric itchiness... I have zero sensitivity to fabrics and laces usually, but with all-mesh designs, occasionally they do bother me sometimes. Usually for me it is effective to put it on the cold wash cycle in the washing machine (protected by 2 mesh/net lingerie bags), either with no laundry detergent at all, or just a bit of baby shampoo. Cold wash/cold rinse, hang to dry. If you don't have a machine or don't like to use it for bras, hand wash 2x with a few drops of baby shampoo or whatever you usually use, it should have the same effect.

      wendybien Thank you :)
      I don't ever wash my bras in the washing machine. I'd be too scared to do it. (We also have a really old washing machine here with not many options so I don't trust that it would be gentle enough like newer washing machines that have even "lingerie" cycles.) A Daily Boost that I used as a sleep bra once got by mistake into my washing machine. It was dead after that.

      But I have to admit that I only washed the bra once after I got it by hand with handwash detergent I use for bras. I was so excited wear it the next day and it was so itchy. (I tried to look like I fumble in my handbag when I tried to low-key scratch a bit when I was in the bus :/ )

      Since then I washed the bra 2-3 times more since I have to wash my bras in summer after 1 day of wear and it's now not a problem anymore.

      I love the look of this bra, so pretty!

      I have a dozen lingerie wash bags so I can double wrap the unlined ones and put the t-shirt style bras into individual wash bags that have little plastic thingies that hold the wash bags in a cylindrical position and accommodate larger cups. We got a new maytag washer dryer set last July that has all kinds of special cycles, adjustments for spin speeds, deep fill option for things like bedding and towels, etc...I still hang my bras up in the closet so they can dry, that way the mister and the minis don't have to move anything out of the way so they can shower. I use my salad spinner for other underpinnings that I don't trust in the washer even on the hand wash setting that I use for bras.

      The Wacoal enchantment style has a mesh cup overlaid with lace (similar to the retro chic style) - the black on nude one isn't itchy, but the nude on nude drives me bonkers with how itchy it can get, and right along the center seam where it joins the t-seam of the lower cup - it's hard to play off having to scratch your actual nipple area!

      Today I tried on my Elomi Tori again after while that I neglected it... I had to close it on last hooks or it did not feel supportive. Also the band rode up, gaping at the upper cup where it meets the straps and the gore stabbed me. A weird fit... I will keep it since it's unique and special looking but... I won't wear it for a full day. :( :( :(

    This bra is currently too small for me in the cups, I get quadboob and the gore pokes my overspilling breast tissue. It's not comfortable to wear. The bra is very well made and supportive.
    Check out my older review of the 32J - Elomi » Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) and my newer review of the 32JJ - Elomi » Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) (which is the size that currently fits me) to get more info on the bra.

  3. Tia Bandless Bra (4280)

    32J

    Didn't fit

    The bra was a huge fail on me. I tried a few plunge bras from Elomi and had some issue with them then I decided to try one of their "full cup" bandless / banded styles. The Tia is a bandless bra, they do not state that it is a full cup bra but I would say it is just by how it fits? The cups came up very high on me, it is one of the tallest bras I tried recently. The band feels tts for a 32 band and was a good fit on me (I'm around 31 Inch underbust). The wires were much too wide ... for me, it was ridiculous, they ended on my back.

    The fit reminded me of the 32JJ - Curvy Kate » Delightfull Full Cup Bra (1111) but the CK bra wasn't as tall as the Tia. Also while the cups fit me very well when looked at from the front, there was some weird underarm side gaping going on. There was too much room where I don't need it. The cups had a stretchy lace part that would cover almost all my breast tissue that is why there was not cutting in from the cup edge because no soft tissue left to cut in. The bra is really full coverage that's why I would call it a full cup. I can say that the bra is good quality and the fabric is nice, the cut and shape is just all wrong for me.

      Oh, wow... those underwires sure took a walk.

      It would be an interesting experience if you tried it with smaller, like G/H letters.

      The situation is reminescent of past thrift (bröcki) shop failures I had when band fits but cups are way too voluminous.

      Except that, lol, given the huge misfit, the external parts of the cups behaved as a wings.

      Have a superb weekend ;)

      Although this one didn't workout for you, at least it added valuable data here to help others in their search for the perfect bra. For that, we all thank you! Each and every bra helps to strengthen the database, so yay for the new data you added!

    • 2

      Yikes, that has to be one of the tallest bras I've ever seen. Who was this built for?

    • 2

      Yes at least I got some data from the bra. It was interesting to try. I don't think that G or H cup would work for me. It would be too small. On the front I need the room in the cups, it is just too wide at the sides. Maybe a 34H with a firm band?

    • Yeah, 2 to 4 cups smaller would be getting you some serious quadding for sure!

    • Those cups look very voluminous for the letter.

      I mean a volume takes 3 dimensions and the conventional definition of cup size is made on the base of a single dimention, the circumference.

      Going down in the alphabet could be an interesting experience.

      @femineaaterna With all due respect, you are trying to "school" someone who has been on the site for more than 6 years and has plenty of experience and knowledge on the subject. You seem to lack an understanding of the brand and their sizing, and suggesting alisa go down 2 to 4 cups from a J cup to a H or G cup is not logical at all, and in reality is insulting. While a 32HH (not 32 H or 32G) may yield better results for her, it looks more like this bra shape/design does not match her body. You are not factoring in all the aspects that matter, nor are you respecting her existing experience or knowledge by trying to teach her things she already knows or suggesting an illogical cup drop.

    • MamaPagan ,

      I have no intntion to disrespect anyone. This would be a cognitively sterile effort.

      I might have been on this site for far less than anybody else, agreed. However I have decades of practice in engineering complex structures and their configuration mechanisms.

      Which is why I might have a different experimental aproach.

      You'lll be amazed to know the amount of pre-emptive truths that get successfully challanged in the aftermaths of mishaps.

      I was suggesting, a non-destructive experiment since apparently things went wrong despite more or less matching numbers.

      Approach similar to what allows safe air travel even if occasionally some cut corners by excessively re-using what used to work until it didn't.

      Which is why I didn't see any disrespect and I'm genuinely sorry if unknown to me factors led you to perceive offense in my arguments.

      Here I have nothing to sell or prove. Occasionally I state what and/how things work for me and attempt to maintain a positively spirited open discussion.

      And once again, I'm genuiney sorry if I hit undocumented wires and short-circuits ensue.

      I can equally understand that this is your, the older users playground.

      My scope is not to disrupt, this is a pretty nice innocent site with persons I have respect for.

      So if for some reasons I'm becoming a "persona non grata", then, done deal, I'll fade away.

      Thanks for your time, looking forwards to read you ;)

    • 2

      @femineaaterna I am not suggesting you "fade away" at all, but I am asking you to take the time to consider the person's experience and knowledge, factor in all aspects of body differences, and to respect others opinions and limitations before commenting.

      It is not a matter of how long someone has been on the site, it's a matter of taking their point in their bra journey (how long they have been on their quest for proper bra fitting) when making suggestions, as well as factoring in their unique body shape/limitations as well as the brand in question. (A G in one brand is not the same as a G in another-that's why the site uses index numbers. )

      @alisa has a lot of experience, and her adding a bra fail is not her asking for help, it is her adding the data, experience, and her insight on the bra model and design in comparison to her size and shape for others who come to the site in search of such data. She is in a unique size range, like myself, which has very little data available so every bra entered straightens the database, and in turn is valued and treasured.

      Regardless, 2-4 cups smaller would not fit her, nor would it resolve the issues she experienced, but it would cause more issues for sure. And while such a suggestion wouldn't stop alisa from adding more bras, making such a suggestion to some would be very offensive and cause them to be hurt/insulted and not want to add more data to the site. Some reading your suggestion could be deterred from adding their own bra data, especially bra photos, out of fear of such comments made on their reviews. I have seen it before, and it hurts the site. Bras and the intimate nature of bra fitting is very complex and a super sensitive area, please remember that.

    • MamaPagan ,
      Ouch...

      I had size charts and a pen. Estimated the excursion of the underwire. Scribbled numbers here and there. Attempted to move the discussion in a constructive analytical direction.

      Occam's razor says that amongst all hypothesis, the simplest one is the best.

      Which is that this is not a discussion on a mission critical life supporting component and no one will be hurt if I rest my case due to unforseen colateral escalations.

      So this is what I'll do, sorry for the incurred inconvenience.

      alisa Sorry for derailing your review! I appreciate your added data and value your experiences. It greatly helps build this site for both current and future members. Thank you for your contributions!!

    • Sorry for the unproductive chatter alisa . Anyone can have a bad day. And with the weather outside, today's gonna be my turn. So I'm outta here.

      Everything okay. I already answered what I tought about trying G/ H cups here and thought the topic is done. https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnbg9/#review-comment-23244
      There would only be one case where I consider a H-cup... if a band runs 1 size small like on CK Victory, then I size up to a 34 band. Since the cups run big I would maybe size down to 34H a sistersize of 32HH.
      G cups… those times are long gone.

      alisa Thanks for the writeup! I love wide sides and this looks like something that I really want to try! And the stretch in the cups gives me hope that it will help me with my one larger than the other issue.

    • 4

      alisa I experienced the same gapping on the top edge- it’s just a flaw/feature of the design- I think it’s designed for someone with a very V shaped back.

      It’s funny the cup height is so tall on you. In my size the cup height was good, pretty short for a full cup bra, in fact, but I had the same issue with not enough center room so I had to size up. I loved the lace they used and found the back to be really quality and firm.

    • 1

      cupandahalf I also was shocked that the bra is so tall on me. My back is not a V-shape, the bra would therefore not work in a smaller size because it is not roomy enough in the center to size down. Did you exchange the wires on your bra? I found them to be more flexible than newer Elomi wires.

    • 2

      Wow! Easy to see

      * how tall the cup is on you and
      * the wire going around to your back.

      It makes me wonder about the cup width and depth measurements. Why is the depth ratio 2.4 for cups that wind around to your back? Strange. Doesn’t add up.

      And with cupandahalf ’s comments... maybe you just got a “lemon” or maybe 32J is a hole in their Tia size range where the design turns into a fluke with weird cup height, width etc., a shape mismatch for **anybody**.

    Check out my review for the 32J - Elomi » Morgan Banded Bra (4110) that I tried in the same size because both bras fit basically the same. They share the same cut and construction. If I knew these bras were similar, I wouldn't have ordered both. Gladly they came with free shipping and return so there is more data to add here on Bratabase. Yay! The Mariella is a very pretty bra. I love the blue color print and I really wished it worked for me.

  5. Sachi Plunge Bra (4350)

    As with the Elomi Morgan, I originally owned the Sachi bra in a 32H, then bought it in a 32J after gaining weight. I find this bra to be very comfortable, and the strappy detailing doesn't show even when I wear a V-neck. The Panache Envy is probably a better fit for me than the Sachi, but the band and the outer end of the wires of the Sachi are more comfortable.

    I really love the red color of this bra. It's so vibrant and matches well with my skin tone. At first I thought that the embroideries are too much and the bra would be prettier just being plain red, but when I tried it on I really liked the look of it.

    The cut of the bra is similar to other Elomi Plunge bras I tried, I think the most similar was the 32J - Elomi » Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) I also had the same issues with this bra. The cups were too wide at the sides and a bit too tall but there wasn't ... not enough center room for my boobs. I could fit my boobs into the cups when I arranged them into more of a tall wide shape, but I know from wearing my 32J - Elomi » Tori Plunge Bra (4370) which has the same cut, that my boobs just try to go back to the center during the day. I also find that the low gore of Elomi plunge bras usually pokes me. I think that 32J right size for me in this style and I could make it work somehow like my Elomi Tori, but there are definitely better bras out there for my shape and I cannot justify buying this bra at full price just because it is pretty.

  7. Energise Uw Sports Bra With J Hook (8041)

    32J

    Fits

    Finally I'm reviewing this one. I've had it for about 2 months now but only in the last few weeks I was wearing it more often. So I can say more about how it wears now.
    First about the bra: The Elomi Sports bra features underwires and non padded cups. The material is very high quality, sturdy and at the same time it is very soft to the touch. I really have no complains about it and I'm usually sensitive to itchy fabric. The wires are rather wide (like Elomi brand is known for) and quite tall. The wires don't bother me under my arms. The shoulder straps are ... wide and comfortable. I have no issues. Also the bra itself does so much support that I can almost wear it with straps off if I need relief on my shoulders.

    The cups are wide, tall and of average depth (I wouldn't call them shallow, but they definitely keep the boobs close to chest as opposed to a projected cup shape). The wide wires don't bother me on this bra, I think the shape is even better to keep boobs close to chest. If It had more narrow wires there have to be deeper cups and more projection which would affect support and allow for more jiggling / movement of the boobs in the bra. I also do very well with the tall cups, no breast tissue is escaping. I actually think that the bra fits me in this size because it is tall and wide! If it weren't I'd need to size up for depth. I feel some light pressure on my sternum from the gore, but it is bearable. I also feel that my boobs are pushed close to my chest, but it it is nowhere near that constricting feeling I get in padded bras that do the same. For example 32J - Panache Sport » Sports Bra (5021) gave me pain and I had trouble breathing after wearing it for 30 min and this Elomi bra I can wear for a full day.

    Wearing experience: The bra saved my neck! That's why I love it. Last week I suddenly got terrible neck pain, my boobs had lost some upper fullness and all my bras were ill-fitting. This already caused me pain. I had no smaller bras at hand to help me and I tried to wear my 32JJ with the band on tightest setting which helped some, then I remembered my neglected sports bra. Oh the relief!!! I wore the bra as an everyday bra and it helped me so much with the pain. I also wore it for full day of moving around boxes and stuff and house cleaning and it was amazing. Under clothing it looks good enough, it is not noticable that it is not an average bra. I will add clothed pics. I jumped around a bit and it feels okay, it really limits the movement of my boobs.

    32J

    Didn't fit

    The Elomi Morgan is a 4 piece cup construction with a side support panel and the upper cup is made out of stretchy lace. The bra has a full band and a regular height gore. I really like the fabric used on the bottom cup, it's very nice and soft. The shoulder straps are fully adjustable and a nice width. The band is stretchy but still supportive. The wires are softer more flexible than on the 32J - Elomi » Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) or the 32J - Elomi » Sachi Plunge Bra (4350). Basically the wires are like Elomi wires used to be ... in the past on most of their bras.

    The issues:

    The wires felt not very sturdy, they distort easily when there is tension from the band. I found that the wires were quite weak and more flexible than the wires on Sachi or Matilda. I also felt that the side of the cup was lacking support. I found the wires to be much too wide for me and not tall enough. The other problem was the stretchy ribbon that is at the edge of the upper lace panel... it just cuts in. If your boobs are just a little soft, it will cut in. I also think it would if I tried a bigger size. It's not a bra for full on top boobs. Also the bra felt overall much less supportive than Sachi or Matilda.

    32J

    Didn't fit

    I got the chance to try a few Elomi bras with free shipping and return from a local online shop and this was available in my size. The Matilda is a Plunge bra and features a 4 part cup construction with a side support panel and a sheer mesh top section with some cute dotty details. The wires on this bra are really firm and sturdy, comparable to Bravissimo and Panache wires. This is a feature I love, because the usual soft Elomi wires don't offer enough support, distort easily and end up on my back.

    How the bra fits me:

    The wires are a bit wide but not extremly ... too wide. I think if everything else would fit, it would be workable. The wires keep their shape and don't distort much. I feel very well supported by these wires alone. I get slight wrinkling at the sides and very very slight at the top of the cup where the upper cup meets the straps. It's very minor and barely visible, but it shows that the bra is a bit too wide and just slightly too tall for me.

    Sizing down is no option, actually I should rather size up, because there isn't much center room and the cup edge cuts into my breast tissue slightly. So very light quadboob but extra room at the sides? That is a shape-mismatch. Elomi Plunges are better for full on bottom and slightly wide boobs. I also felt uncomfortable with the gore, it pushed too hard against my sternum. I'm not used to wear such a low gore. The band is a bit more stretchy than on my 32J - Elomi » Sachi Plunge Bra (4350) bra, and I could close it on the second set of hooks already and it did not feel very tight.

    I really love the design of this bra. It's subtle but still cute and a bit girly with the dots. An understatement. And I love the teal color so much!!! Ahh it's so pretty! I almost wanted to keep it, but it's quite pricey and I feared that the issues would cause loss of support over a full day of wear and that the quadboob might show under a thin summer t-shirt.

    Also it gave me a slightly wide shape from the front (not super east-west like a Tango) but a bit more than I prefer. The J-hook for racerback would have helped with the issue a bit but the straps were barely long enough for me to comfortable hook the J-hook. Also it did not look flattering on my fluffy back fat. So it's a pass. I don't know if a 32JJ would solve all the issues and I think the bra is not the right cut for my boobs.

    • It does look to me like your boob is trying to escape on the outside of the cup, in this picture: https://www.bratabase.com/picture/dpdy9/

      Sorry it didn't work out, this is a nice looking bra. From the thumbnails it looked like it worked :(

    • 1

      Sovavosi Yeah I know. That is my bigger boob. Also when I tried this bra on, my boobs were blown up by PMS. The bra is a mix of being obviously too small in cups but also kinda too big (on the side) here is the side wrinkling visible http://bra.pe/InJs/ (smaller boob). If there was more room at the center / top part of the cup I could get away with this size. I think in the 32JJ the wires will be even wider and it would not fit properly either.

    • alisa please a technical question. I see this bra has a (racerback ?) hook on the straps.

      Is it really possible to reach that high and manipulate it or would it require a helping hand ?

      Thanks, best regards,

    32J

    Didn't fit

    I had read that the Mariella fit very similarly to the Morgan, so I went for a 32J in this bra as well. I found that the fit was identical to my 32J - Elomi » Morgan Banded Bra (4110) , and it feels equally comfortable. The gore doesn't quite tack, but otherwise, this is a perfect fit. The Hidden Tiger colorway is more muted in person than I expected: the background is a dull, dark grey, the embroidery is light orange, and the stretch lace is navy blue.

    Edited to add: the Elomi website describes this as denim blue with blush embroidery. I totally expected it to be black and neon orange. The fabric still looks gray to me though.

    2nd edit: I finally figured out how to mention my other bras! I used Firefox on an old laptop instead of Chrome on my phone, and it worked like a charm. This review and a bunch of my other ones have been edited to include relevant mentions.

  11. Morgan Banded Bra (4110)

    32J

    Didn't fit

    I previously owned the Elomi Morgan in a 32H, then re-ordered it in a 32J after gaining weight. I liked this bra when I had it before, as I found it to be very supportive. The lace upper has a very firm elastic band at the edge of the cup, so it does dig in slightly. The gore and wires don't quite tack, and actually sit on my breast tissue a bit. I'm hoping this will fit better in a couple days when I'm not swollen.
    Edit to add: still not completely tacking, but not sitting on breast tissue now that breasts are not swollen.

  12. Meredith Bra (4440)

    32J

    Didn't fit

    The Meredith bra is similar in cut to the 32J - Elomi » Tia Bandless Bra (4280) but with a full band. I don't own a black bra that fits me currently so I was curious about this new style. I can say that it fits me better than the Tia bra but the issues here are similar it's just not as bad. The wires are too wide and they stretchy quite a bit because they are softer than on some other Elomi bras I tried. This is not good for me. I don't get any side gaping in this bra just a little bit of ... wrinkling. It is also not as tall as the Tia. I like the stretchy lace on the cups in this bra. It does not cut in and fits nicely. Honestly from the front it looks quite good…

    In terms of support, I think that Elomi bras are always very supportive. The materials are high quality and sturdy. But with this bra the support was lacking a bit (I imagine that it will feel more supportive if the wires would be at a better position) and I'm sure this bra could so much more if it wasn't incompatible with my shape.

    • Wow. With the Tia you already described, this one buids an intriguing case.

      Or Elomi favors large torsos or it uses a specific size chart.

      Front view,the straps run inwards at the shoulders while on the back they look ok. So after all it's maybe just a letter or 2 too large after all ?

      Those are very voluminous cups. Got me curious, went around on catalogs but couldn't spot such wide sideways excursion.

      And since Elomi is part of the huge Wacoal, chances to reach the advice hotline are slim...

      Nevertheless here are some phone contact details:

      I think that 32HH could be a bit small, it would depend how much extra room the stretchy lace allows. I don't think that I less space at the front, it's just fine but I need less width at the sides. I don't think I could go any smaller than 32HH.

  13. Sachi Plunge Bra (4350)

    32J

    Didn't fit

    I got the chance to try a few Elomi bras with free shipping and return from a local online shop and this was available in my size. The Sachi is a Plunge bra based on Elomi Soraya. The cups are a 4 part construction with a side support panel and a sheer mesh top section with some fancy strappy details. The gore is about the same height as on the 32J - Elomi » Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) bra. The wires on this bra are really firm and sturdy, comparable to Bravissimo and Panache wires. This is a feature I love, because the usual soft Elomi ... wires don't offer enough support, distort easily and end up on my back. The band is firm and supportive and fits true to size for a 32 band.

    How the bra fits me:

    Sadly the biggest issue I had with this bra was the quadboob. The Fancy straps at the center just made it worse and cut into my breast tissue. Elomi Plunge bras are already a bit difficult on my soft full on top boobs, because they don't offer much space at the center and top of the cup and tend to cut in. Elomi in general just work better for a full on bottom shape. So these fancy straps that are quite tight but stretchy just make it worse. I thought about sizing up to a 32JJ and see what happens, but then I fear that there could be more wrinkling at the sides.

    The wires on this 32J are just okay for me. If it weren't for the other issues I'd say it is tolerable. (note that most wires are too wide for me in my size as I need fairly narrow wires but deep cups) So for Elomi standards these wires are not very wide. Also since they are much more sturdy, they don't distort much. I feel very well supported by there wires alone. Overall I'm really impressed by this bra. The support is amazing and I think it would work best on slightly wide even full - full on bottom boobs.

    The bra is overall not really my style so I'm not too sad that it doesn't work for me. The strappy detail is nice but I could do without it. (It did not look flattering on me because of the quadboob.) Maybe I will try a 32JJ in the future, but I want to focus on bras that are more likely to fit me first.

      It looks like this bra provides nice lift and support, too bad the straps cut in!

    • Yes the lift and support is amazing on this bra. I felt like I'm wearing a Panache or Bravissimo bra! The wires weren't even that wide! (And that on an Elomi!) But it's not made with any fluffy center fullness in mind :( Or do I need to size up in cups?

      I think Elomi bras are so pretty. Given how sturdy the wires are and how supportive you find them, its too bad the neither of them fit.

      Onwards and upwards..

      I love the look of this one. Sorry it didn't work for you.

    Hasn't set fit

    Interesting. I decided to compare Elomi Charley to a much lesser known "UK brand" (well, it's sold in the UK)called @Gemm, and the funny thing is: the Gemm bra's actually a better quality (see pics) The Lingerie Addict told me not to believe everything I read on the internet. For sure! there are lots of shills.
    Upon inspection, my impression of Elomi is "planned obsolescence," I would not pay $62 usd for this bra (I paid $18 at a website in the U.S. with deep discounts, they ship to Canada as well), you can get better for your money.

      Interesting! I just throught the same when I compared my Elomi Matilda to the Luvlette bra I wear now heavily.
      While I still think Matilda is a good bra it's way too expensive for what it is!
      The band is flimsy and stretchy, the whole bra is made of the thinnest cheap feeling mesh! My 32GG Matilda band also measured 34 inch stretched when I got it. I always wanted 30 bands in it because that band was so stretchy.
      I have to say though that I wore my 32JJs a lot and no wire popped and they look decent still but I had a rather big bra rotation.

    • alisa Interesting! I have a 32GG UK Elomi Matilda to try on at my home away from home (aka, my mother's house); I'll have to report back to you!

      I don't think it's gonna stand up to some of my favorite brands though.

    Didn't fit

    And here is, finally, the bra in a cup size smaller, sorry for the delay my friends. Had a sick cat, so I had to wait for this month to buy.
    Right so, this model is by far my favorite, since it is the only one, except for Freya Plunge and Kris Line that does not annoy me with the pokey-pokey under my arms.
    Please do compare with my other pictures for 70K. I am eager for some thoughts.
    While I still have issues with filling out the bottom of the cup, and the wire is, quite frankly, too wide for me, I do still feel that it is a good ... bra.
    I tried going down to 70J but honestly, the gore won't lie flat - not an issue with 70K - and I do happen to get a slight quad boob effect. Not very sexy! Or flattering, yikes!
    Additionally the straps are a bit thinner and instead of 3 hooks, you get 2 hooks in this size.
    And it REALLY bothers me that the gore isn't lying flat like it does in 70K - because I know that is super important for the support.
    Elomi bandless is still the most comfortable bra I have tried overall.
