First, I want to start off by saying that photos do not do this bra justice as to how pretty it is in person. I thought it was black and this boring beige color but it's actually this really adorable champagne. Unfortunately this bra didn't fit but it worked as a diagnostic bra. The sides could've been lower and the tops of the cups are still a bit high on me, the wire length could've been wider but this may also be because the cups are too small, the cups on this also roughly 1in higher than my CK Romance which would fit perfectly except it's also too ... small lol. I noticed my breast tissue seems to be folding inside of the cups, Im getting what Im guessing is strap gap, it does get less intense if I pinch the fabric of the top cup in. Other than that the wires are actually in my IMF and I'm not getting wrinkling on the sides/by the wires. The gore isnt tacking and is actually twisting more towards my larger side.
A common complaint I saw was that the band elastic was irritating. Imo it reminds me of how the decadence is constructed and I honestly liked it because for me, it makes the band feel sturdier. Over time though I did find that the elastic straps were not strong enough and had a little too much stretch, which led to them becoming painful. As much as I love the way this bra looks, and how it shapes me, I dont want to perform any alterations on it when I can probably get something that fits better by relisting it.
Im taking this as a definite sign that I'm FOB with a short root height, lots of immediate projection, and I need something that is closed and firm in the upper sections. I am planning on trying the CK Victory next in 30JJ as long as the upper section is closed.

Oh, wow, I just this second finished posting about Ellace in 34JJ! I get what you say about it being flimsy - it's so lightweight it practically floats, but I liked that about it in a wistful sort of way. Most of the bras I have (and need) are quite full coverage and sturdy fabrics. I was longing for something light and airy, But it doesn't give enough support, so I'm sending it back. The 34JJ cups were too big for me, so I didn't get quadding. Sorry it didn't work for you!
