I FINALLY got around to ordering my closest fit in a cup size down, and it’s a unicorn!!! I have the most impossible breasts to find bras for, I swear, but this bra is magical.
Proper positioning is critical for this bra. You need to scoop and swoop, and then you also need to shake your breast into place in the cup and smooth any inner and top quadding under the top of the cup. But once you do that, it should stay perfectly in place!
I’m just shocked to finally have a bra that’s projected enough in the right place, perfectly fits my high-set Nike Swoosh roots, tacks perfectly despite my very close set breasts, AND supports my soft, inner full, semi-Omega-shaped tissue. It feels comfortable and supports me well even without the J hook. I can’t believe how freaking good it looks, either. I can’t believe I finally found a unicorn without making a single alteration!
This bra was recommended by Bratabase because the measurements are supposedly similar to my 75K - Kris Line » Scheherazade Soft (L1105) bra, which is currently my best fitting bra.
Unfortunately, the suggestion was a dud. I know that molded cups generally aren’t a great idea for those of us who are projected, but I figured the spacer fabric would be safer to try than a fully padded bra.
First, the good: the color is awesome, super red and sexy. The bra itself is super comfortable and soft! The band has a great firmness that isn’t too snug or loose. The bra is bandless which is ...an amazing feature as well. This bra would be totally awesome and comfortable if it fit.
Now, the bad: the cups are way too small but super wide. So I think this could be an orange in a glass situation. The cups are also a little east-west. As you can see, there is major quadding and the gore is 2 fingers away from my sternum.
I personally don’t think it would be worth trying this in a larger size mainly because the wires are already too wide in this size and it would only get worse.
Oh well, it was worth a try. It only verified that my shape is too projected for a bra like this.
FYI my shape- pendulous, projected, even vertical fullness, center full horizontally, splayed, average root width, average or short root height. Read more 137 more words
I have narrow roots and even, projected, soft, saggy breasts which are close-set with lots of centre fullness. One issue I always have with Elomi bras is the "flattening" that happens around the gore and cleavage - there is always some centre tissue being cut into by the bra edge (quadboob). I read that the Morgan has narrower wires than most Elomi bras, so I ordered a cup size up to see if there would be more room to accommodate my centre fullness without wider wires. Unfortunately this bra still cuts in near the gore, and going up in cup size just seems to have made the bra taller, which I don't really need. Most Elomi bras I've tried are too wide for me, and although this style seems to have narrower wires, it still doesn't work for me, the wires feel too high under my arms. It's too bad since I like the colorway and print of this style.
I both love and sometimes hate this bra. The cups, band, straps, and center gore fit perfectly. It looks nice on, but isn't overly flashy and gives a nice silhouette. It is very well made and the material is sturdy, so it should hold up well over time. There is only one downside, the underarm wire. Sometimes it is fine, sometimes just slightly uncomfortable, and at times it is downright painful. The wire goes up too high on the underarms, but usually sits close enough to my ribcage that it doesn't hurt. Other times the very end of it slips outward a bit and starts jabbing me painfully in what I call my "underarm love handles."
Breasts fit comfortably and snugly into the cups. The underwire was snug, the gore tacked wonderfully. The support is amazing and the lace is surprisingly fine against my sensitive skin after a full day of wear. The band is perfect, although it's a bit tough to put on correctly without twisting and flipping cups around. The only issue (though more visual than felt) would be the cups having some wrinkling on both sides, though I think this is due to my breast root being more narrow and the bra is made wider set. The quality is great and the fabric is a bit thick and firm, with not much stretch besides the fancy lacing around the top of the cup. I really love this bra and have considered buying another.
When I first purchased this bra, it fit like a dream. This was my first purchase of this size after getting fitted in a boutique bra shop in the US (I am a US based bra shopper/wearer). It fit wonderfully for a couple years, and in that time I purchased a bunch of this model I'm other colors. Now, while the band fits, though it is stretched enough on all of the bras to go to the second hook, the cup is too small and I am spilling out on top so I have to shop for a new size. If this comes in my new size, I will certainly purchase a couple! It has been very comfortable, good lift, nice shape, no digging in anywhere.
This particular size is too small, the gore doesn’t tack. The pictures look better than how it really fit—I ended up doing some adjustments and it had me quadding on my larger side. I think Matilda may be a shape mismatch for me now.
This bra is a little small for me, both in terms of cup size ( a little quad boobage), and in terms of band (I'm using an extender). I still really like it, but the band and other edges are a little scratchy, and the cups are too shallow, so they crease at the bottom. Surprisingly though, the gore sits flat and is really comfortable. I have never experienced that before https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />.
Update 06/2020: Lost weight, and also the band has stretched. Band fits perfectly now.
I love this bra. I want one in every color. I have such trouble with either the gore being too high, or the cut near the armpits being too high, the straps being too wide, or the wires being too narrow. I don't have any of those worries with this one. The pattern is so cute. I've been trying on bras for weeks, so to find one that I can wear all day, including lounging about on the couch, and it doesn't pinch, chafe, or stab into me, I'm so relieved!
This is my fourth attempt at making Etta fit, and I'm almost there. The band is comfortable on the first set of hooks. The gore mainly tacks but twists towards my left (bigger) breast as the day goes by (it's not painful). The underwires are wider than my IMF, reaching to the middle of my underarms, but they don't hurt. The bottom of the cups is well filled and doesn't give me the weird square shape I often get. There is slight wrinkling at the top of the cups. Overall this bra is not perfect but at least it's wearable.
I seem to have the same problems in bras that you do, but I think 1 cup size bigger on average. I read your other reviews hoping you found something that fit better, since I am searching for bras again. Elomi Etta is the best fitting one I have found so far in 36GG, but I have the same problem with the wrinkling/extra space on top, and wires being too wide. I'm just happy to find something where the wires aren't too long and end up poking me under the arms. Sadly they discontinued it, and I haven't tried Lydia, which is supposed to be based on Etta.
This bra has nice soft fabric. On me, the band is comfortable and the gore tacks. However, the top of the cups is wrinkling and the wires poke me under the arms. This bra, like most of those with a vertical seam in the cups, also gives me an odd and almost square breast shape.
This bra helped me realize I was much less full on the top than I assumed—I lean towards top fullness but have some heft at the bottom too!
This bra looks a little old-fashioned when you're not wearing it, but on it's beautiful! Retro and elegant, but definitely modest with a higher cupeling than I typically prefer.
The bottom and top of the right cup—my smaller breast—gap/wrinkle juuuust a bit, but not enough to affect the quality of the fit on my larger side.
It is VERY sturdy and high quality—this is a bra that will definitely last, and I'm sad that I bought it 8 lbs ago because the band is already a bit loose! I'll definitely be picking up more of these in a lower band size.
This is one of my work bras; it's a decent fit, but I'm not in love with it anymore so if it gets sweaty, dirty, damaged, I'm not worried. I'm on the inner hooks now tho' so who knows what I'll do for sweaty work days. Probably wear a Panache Sport.
When I was 40FF Elomi plunges were my jam. Since losing weight I've also changed shape, so there's some bulging in the center above the gore. The wires are also super wide for me; not uncomfortable, but well past my tissue on the sides. I used to have tissue there, and less tissue up top, so Elomi plunges and I have parted ways.
Sadly the aqua/teal color has a much bigger problem with the underwire digging into my underarms than the red one did. If I had gotten this one first, I would not have bought a second color. The cups, band, straps, and center gore all fit perfectly on this one as well. The underwire just rises up even higher than on the red one, which had a 'bearable' underwire problem.
This is a pretty good, but not perfect, bra. Elomi bras are a little wide for me - both in terms of how far around the side of my torso the underwire goes, and in how far apart it places my boobs. But it is comfortable and fit well even in the early stages of nursing when the size of my boobs changed a lot throughout the day (I converted this bra to a nursing bra). And it does look reasonably nice under clothes - the cups are not as wide-set as the smoothing moulded cup bra, which made me look like a triangle. I wore this bra a lot, which says a lot.
This seems like a comfortable, sturdy -- and yet still attractive -- bra. I ordered it online in the wrong size, and inadvertently washed it before I could return it. I've never worn it.
This bra isn't quite my size, but I bought it anyway because I have a super limited budget and it fit well enough to work for now. The quality seems really good so far with nice sturdy straps, very soft satiny cups, and strong elastic on the band. I have the nude/peach color which isn't super attractive, but it's good under light colored shirts. As for the style, it keeps my boobs kind of separate and gives me a a slightly retro pointy shape. I'm okay with it, but I would prefer a more rounded and projected look. It's very comfortable and the velvet trim is a luxurious touch.
This is my first bra I've had that actually fits. I absolutely love it! It's so comfortable. The only I could say that I don't like is that when I sit down the longline part of the bra rolls up. I know this bra also comes without a longline so I might try that.
Wow! This looks amazing on you! High-five for the bra win. :)
