    Fits

    This is easily the most surprising bra I've ever put on. Support for days and days, and comfortable too. It's held up amazingly well, considering its been worn daily for six months (same bra). The center gore doesn't quite tack, and the cup clips are just now starting to break in to be one hand, but those are small considerations.

    As a testament to the comfort of this bra, I developed acute mastitis about 5 months into nursing, and this bra was so much more comfortable to wear; I was advised to go without, which was absolutely excruciating.

    Its not pretty, it's very utilitarian, but the shape, the ... comfort, and the function make for up it in spades. As long as it continues to fit, I will wear it, though I'm starting to shrink back into some of my other girls, so I will put them into rotation as they fit. If I were to get pregnant again, I would grab another of these bras in a heartbeat. I can't say enough about how happy I am with the support!

    34G

    Didn't fit

    I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and struggling with bra fit. For context, I was a 32FF for a couple of years prior to getting pregnant with little to no change. My favorite bras were the Cleo Maddie, Cleo Skye, and Panache Underwire Sport. My breasts have definitely grown throughout my 2nd trimester - I now measure a 34G/GG according to A Bra That Fits and my 32FF bras clearly don't fit well.

    I opted to try the Elomi Smoothing Molded Nursing Bra in a 34G (UK) because I've heard your 2nd trimester size will often work after pregnancy while you are breastfeeding. We'll see if that's true but ... not with this particular bra.

    My problems with the bra:
    1. The wires are much wider than what I need. There's a good inch between the outer breast root and the underwire. This means that space is not available to my breast tissue and it makes the whole bra feel too small even though it isn't.
    2. I cannot get the underwire to sit in my IMF. It gets pushed down and wants to sit about 3 fingers (2") below where it should. Again, this means there is space that should be available in the cup that my breast tissue can't use.
    3. The wire/cup issue results in the gore floating off my chest about 1". That is not uncomfortable but it is definitely a sign that the fit is not proper.
    4. The sides of the bra rub underneath my armpit/tail of spence. I did try wearing this bra for a whole day - ended up with raw, irritated skin where the underwire hits my underarm area.
    5. The straps are a touch wider spaced than I would prefer. Not enough that I couldn't handle it if that was the only fit issue, but it adds another fit issue that makes wearing this bra frustrating.

    I had never tried Elomi bras before because my pre-pregnancy size is just below the smallest size they typically offer. I hear great things about the brand and really wanted to like the bra so this was disappointing. I did try the bra in a couple of other sizes. In the next size up (34GG), I had many of the same fit issues as with the 34G except now I also had wrinkling in the top of the cup. In the sister size of 36FF, the scaling of the wires worked much better for me and my breasts could use more of the space but the 36 band is not supportive enough for me.

    If Elomi bras normally work for you, the Elomi Smoothing Molded Nursing bra would be a great one to try. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it'll work for me.

    Didn't fit

    This is a well-constructed bra, but it appears to be too big for me. I thought it was too small, but now that I better understand bra fit, I realize it is so snug at the top because it is too big and low at the bottom It might fit better in a 36G or 36GG, but I think it also just be too shallow of a style for my shape.

    ABOUT THIS BRA
    This is a seamless, unpadded, full-cup, underwire NURSING bra.

    Purchasing:
    * Purchased while ~8 months pregnant guessing at my post-partum size. Guessed wrong so tried on but never wore.

    Band:
    * One layer of smooth stretch mesh.
    * Wing support: seaming.
    * Full band - band is straight beneath wires.
    * Back close with 4 columns of hooks (yes, 4).

    Straps:
    * smooth elastic
    * soft (don’t stand up on their own)
    * full adjust
    * leotard back
    * single position nursing clasp - side squeeze style

    Cups:
    * seamless full cup (nearly a full cup, straps are just outside of apex)
    * Inner support is a single circle (donut shaped) with a seam below the apex (not just the ... usual strap of elastic).
    * unpadded, soft underwire
    * Inner top edge of cup is edged with stretchy seaming. Outer cup edge is elastic that continues to top of band.
    * Both inner and outer cups are contructed of a single layer of non-stretch, opaque knit.
    * Soft, barely molded cups (no foam).
    * Drop cup nursing access.


    ABOUT ME: petite with wide, horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
    * average projection (not shallow nor super projected)
    * average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
    * very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
    * even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
    * short root height, average vertical placement
    * mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
    * conical shape (but will squish to round)
    * full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FoB due to short roots and soft tissue
    * petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
    * front (anterior) rib flares (not usually a fit issue, but I like that longlines make them disappear)


    FIT DETAILS
    Note: This is how it currently fits me. I don’t remember how it fitted post-partum, just that it didn’t fit.

    Band:
    * length: band rides up
    * wings: height good, smooth line

    Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.

    Straps:
    * Feel wide-set but don’t slip with movement.
    * Adjust short enough.

    Cups:
    * Wire sits on axillary breast tissue.
    * Top of cup: wrinkles or gaps (expects more upper fullness)
    * Bottom of cup: wrinkles or gaps (not enough immediate projection at wire). Wire pushed down to find more cup depth.
    * Cup apex: fits (not too deep, too shallow, nor off-center)
    * Give a round, projected shape.


    Assessment & Plan:
    * Didn’t fit when nursing and never returned, probably due to new parent exhausion.
    * Have weaned last child so no longer need. SELL.

    36H

    Didn't fit

    I bought this bra purposely large thinking my boobs would widen and grow after giving birth and continuing breastfeeding, I'm more closer to a 32j and although this is a sister size, the underwires hurt badly because they are so wide and the band is too long. Also, I have two of these in different colors and both of them, the hooks on the band are seriously misshapen.
