    Didn't fit

    If you are a plus full busted woman then you already are aware of Ewa Michalak’s SM line, and particularly her beige or pink with black seamed bras with detachable or straps, such as Ewa Michalak Sm Ja Weim. You might lament their limited size range, narrow wires, or scaling in larger sizes. If you want a strappy Ewa bra but they just won’t work for these reasons, have I got good news for you! And the fit issues I had with this bra are similar to some of the fit issues with Ewa’s SM bras, so you might not be disappointed there either *wink*.

    The ... Tori has everything I love about lingerie- beautiful details, Art Deco/Arts & Crafts style embroidery mixed with a modern structure and Marlies Dekkers’ strappy luxury, and the comfort and fit Elomi is good at. Thus, Tori is vintage and modern, sexy and comfy, and while the strappy trend is dated now, the embroidery and comfort make it pretty special.

    Its construction is pretty similar to other Elomi plunges. Elomi has been playing with the shape, if not the actual dimensions of their plunges, and I feel like this bra might be what they are going with. Like Elomi Sachi Plunge Bra (4350), Tori is a bit shallower on bottom to provide uplift. This also means I get wrinkles, but no gapping, on the bottom. The apex is a little more widely spaced so, like most bras, I get some wrinkling on the inside too. This particular bra seems slightly shallower/wider spaced than my Sachi on the inside, so without a few modifications the gore does not tack. I think this is to prevent spillover into the center, but since I have very firm center tissue and short roots, that will never be a problem for me.

    The band is true to size, firm, built slightly more for a V shaped body than I would like, but still very comfortable. It is double-lined mesh in back, and the black binding everywhere is soft and velvety. The cups are double-lined non stretch mesh. The top of the cup has a slightly stretchy tape to keep everything in place.

    The straps are like the Sachi- firm stretch elastic with no embellishment. The straps each have little loops to attach the center rose motif. The motif attaches to the gore via loops which are connected to two center buttons.

    Wires are soft and wide and tall at the sides- too soft and wide and tall for me. I need about that width at the bottom of the cup because of my flat roots, but a more vertical, shorter wire on the side. The gore is the usual width, but too wide for me. Once I narrowed the gore at the top and replaced the wires with my usual #60 vertical flat wires from porcelynne, my tissue sank easily into the cup. It’s nice because I needed all the space I could get at the center and narrowing the gore gives me that much more room there.

    I have had to do this mod to basically all my bras so it’s nothing new. I will have to adjust the buttons and loops at the gore but as it stands Tori will be worn a lot- if it’s anything like Sachi it will get worn quite a bit.

    On a woman with taller roots in my size this would be a plunge with a pretty standard plunge shape. On me it fits as a mid coverage bra, but that’s due to shape and size. I’m excited to own a bra like this. I like plunges because the shape is good for my shape, and the beige is a good nude for my skin tone. I feel very sexy but also classy, and I really appreciate the comfort and support. I like that I can wear the bra to work with work appropriate necklines, then attach the motif on my way to dinner out with my husband to make my lbd a wow dress. It’s one of the more expensive non-luxury bras out there, but I think it’s well-worth the price. And considering how well my Sachi has held up, this band will not stretch out, fabric won’t fray, and the bra will last and last, as long as appropriate care is taken.

    TLDR: if you always wanted a strappy bra, but were sized or shaped out, now is your chance. Band and cup are tts, support is excellent, quality and longevity are superb, aesthetic are on point.

      looks like you found a great bra. It looks amazing on you!

      The embroidery is absolutely gorgeous. It looks lovely on you, too!

      It's beautiful!

    • 2

      Very lovely!

    • That is so pretty on you! Definitely one of those bras that feel special.

    • i was wondering how many bras you own - you do a decent number of reviews (or maybe they just stand out to me, being close to my size but probably not a fit for me!)

    • 1

      dbmamaz I have a lot but most don’t fit as my size has gone from 40H to 38J to 40JJ now.

    • I’m constantly having shape and size changes so I’ve bought way more bras than I should have. Also, I buy a lot, try them, measure them, and return them. The closest store that sells my size is a 5 hr drive away.

    • 1

      Wow!! Another stunner on you!!!

    • 2

      Thanks Love4Pollinators! Also I’m pleased to say that after the above modifications and wearing it 12 hours today I only noticed any discomfort in the last hour or so.

    • dbmamaz I counted and I currently own 15 bras/swim tops I wear regularly, another 17 I wear less frequently, and about 30 more I would love to wear if I shrink/I use for parts.

    • 1

      cool! i currently have 7 in regular rotation and 2 more coming.

    • I have about 5 swim tops and 10 or so bras in rotation so I’m right there with you.

      hah, the high-end bra store near me just posted this model on fb! I was all like, Ooh, I know what that is!!

  2. 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. :( :( :(

    36J

    Fits

    I've lost weight, so in true form, up went my breast size! I bought this bra today after realizing I could no longer hide that I was quadding out of all of my 36Gs and the return of consistent upper back pain. My chiro would adjust me and instead of it taking weeks, I would be back out in days.

    I tried on 12 bras in store, partly because the sales associate wasn't listening to me. I dug through the drawers and found this gem. I was hesitant to try it on because of the size (how could I be a J?!) but I am so glad I ... did. This bra is magical. I put it on and it was like a sigh of relief. I'm supported, the cups are full, the lace doesn't dig in, it isn't a full cup, and it has a cute little strap you can add for a sexier look. I also own the Sachi (in a 36HH) and I find this works better for me simply because the cup straps of the Sachi can dig into my soft tissue after several hours.

    I will update this review once I have worn it for a day.
