Elomi Matilda size dilemma
So there is a wedding this weekend, and I need a beige bra. I bought the Elomi Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) in 36E and 36F (I've been wearing altered 36E - Elomi ยป Betty Plunge Bra (8170) for years now...the same ones, don't judge--or at least not too harshly!)
Anyway...so the problem is, they both fit, and I'm not sure which one to keep! If I don't hook that racerback hook in the back, the 36E fits just like my Betty's (which means the elastic on them must be gone), but if I hook it, my tits feel like they're strangling. If I don't strap the 36F, it's got some extra room along the top of the cup on my larger side, but as soon as I hook that, it's like it was custom made for my boobs.
Now having said all that, I can't hook that stupid racerback hook by myself, and this bra (even in beige, which I usually hate) is far too pretty to be left to days when my husband can help me get dressed. So unless there is a trick to it that I'm not aware of, I'm not sure what to do?
Filed under Bra sizing and fit
keep all the bras! (ok, our usual rallying cry is 'buy all the bras' and i decided not to buy 2 i was thinking of this weekend). but still - its so hard to find bras that fit, its great to have some variety.
Do you have a lot of racerback shirts? Is racerback more comfortable for you? Are you on a bigger point in your cycle or a smaller point (if at a smaller point the bigger bra might be better over the long run)?
I would wear them both for a half hour each, hooked in racer back and then unhooked, and reevaluate.
I can't wear racerback because of where my muscles are and neck pain, but if you like the straps like that better, that's another thing to consider.
