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.
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.
I am adding this bra to Bratabase more than a year after it was purchased. It was worn as one of four bras (3 Elomi Cleo, 1 Elomi Jasmine) in heavy rotation from the time it was purchased until one year later, so the measurements given probably include stretching.
This bra no longer fits me, but it fit me when it was purchased in August 2011 until early 2012 when my size changed from 36G to 34H. Unfortunately I do not have those measurements on file so I cannot say at what point it fit me.
This bra was perfectly decent, and yet it was a poor second ...compared to the Elomi Cleo, which I loved. The shape it gave me was less rounded, and it was sometimes prone to poking me in the armpits. However, this bra is still made, whereas the Cleo is not.
Note that there is a HUGE difference in how the bra is made between GG and H cups. The band is significantly thicker, and the underwire goes MUCH higher - about an inch. When I tried the 34H in June 2012 I found it completely unwearable. Read more 87 more words

This is one of the most comfortable bras I have ever worn and I was frequently scouring online to look for more like them. The fit was perfect, the shape was nice, and the comfort was amazing.
I am not especially fond of how it looks. The 'nude' is perhaps the ugliest of the lot, with little contrast in the stitching (which, of course, required for it to work under light clothing). The 'black' shows the greatest contrast and the embroidery looks nicest on this bra. The 'tulip' is my favorite of the three colors I own. The color is really nice but the embroidery doesn't stand out as much as it could - it is basically the same as the nude whereas I think it would look better if it were the same as the black. Overall, these are pretty boring bras in appearance, but with a full-coverage bra you're probably looking for a daily workhorse rather than something extremely pretty, so I don't consider the non-fussy appearance to be a bad thing.
Note that there is a HUGE difference in how the bra is made between G and GG cups. The band is significantly thicker, and the underwire goes MUCH higher and jabbed me in the armpits. When I tried the 34GG in February 2012 I found it completely unwearable. Read more 230 more words
this is tight everywhere even though i got measured as being a 36g this snashes top of boobs somewhat but i cant find anything that fits better and gives cleavage i also have breast implants.
