This was a gift from pretty_promise and I really like it! The black definitely looks much better than the nude in this particular bra. Removing the elastic strip along the edge of the cup definitely helped the fit a TON, but I did notice that during the day my breasts migrate north with the wires getting pushed down and so I have to occasionally shimmy back in to get the muffin top to settle back in to where wrinkles have developed in the bottom of the cups. However, I will ignore this because the wires don't dig at my sides or armpit, the band is ... PERFECTLY snug, the straps don't slide off my shoulders, and most importantly the gore is just not an issue- I don't even think about it. Other bras I was having issues with the gore coming up too high or just pressing into my sternum/breast tissue at a very painful angle. I wore the bra all day without issue. Win!

I tried this bra in many sizes and I would say that when in doubt- try sizing down in cup and maybe even band. I like it as an everyday bra- it's the kind you can put on and for the most part forget about-except for the shimmy readjusting I mentioned. But for its comfort and durability I think this bra is pretty good!

Kim is another Elomi plunge style, but unlike the Matilda (which seems to spread the breasts out horizontally), it pushes the breasts forward more. The cups are also farther apart than Matilda. Matilda has been a pretty good fit for me, and Kim usually fits great as well, but it does seem to depend on my cycle. I’ve noticed that Kim doesn’t quite have enough inner room for closer-set breasts either (probably because it’s wider-set). Unfortunately by the end of the day, it rides down ever-so-slightly and the top of my left breast gets quadding. Overall, it’s really comfortable, and I actually really like how it gives me ... that “shelf” look, I just wish it fit better in the center and top. I’ve tried 34J and the cup didn’t seem much different than the 34HH, but the wires were too wide and caused wrinkling.

UPDATE:
Thanks to a friendly Bratabase user who suggested removing the elastic on the top of the cups, the bra now fits better than ever! No more quad boob! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This was another attempt to make my non-Elomi shape boobs fit into an Elomi bra. The feedback I was getting from Breakout Bras was “Your tissue and frame suits the Elomi plunge bra shape really well, with exception of that really full at the arm crease coverage you're getting from the side of the cups (and the wrinkling).”

So I ordered quite a few bras in different plunge styles and sizes. This was one of the worst but also best. The gore is fairly low (sorry, another one I forgot to measure). The band is a comfortable shape and holy smokes, look at how low it is ... under my arm and at the wing! I think this is the lowest I’ve had an Elomi cup come on the sides, which is great. The material also feels very nice.

Not so great: lack of immediate projection, cups too separate, and straps too wide. I would also say the quadding is an issue, but I think most of that would be fixed if my boobs had somewhere to go at the wire.
