Didn't fit

While this bra does a fine job of containing the breasts and holding them steady, there is very little uplift when it comes to cup shape itself. With a shirt on it looks like my breasts are saggy even if they're holding still. Sturdy bra though, good for everyday use. Embroidery shows texture through thin fabrics.

    If the cups are saggy the cup of the bra might be too big for you. That the wire doesn't sit flat against your chest might be because the cup is to shallow. The cups of the Elomi bras are deeper, if those fit you that might be an issue. Another possible issue could be that the Caitlyn has a 4-part cup with Side-Support-Panel and the Tango a 3-part cup. Your breasts in the Tango might fall to the side (mine do), causing the sagginess.

    i had one of another size a while back where the cup was full and the professional fitter said it was good. i still had a saggy look - even though the back of the bra did not ride up and the cups were filled properly. i suspect it was just a poor cut for me personally. the elomi bras are simply a better match shape-wise.

  • That is interesting. To be honest, I would love to read more from you. I have both the Elomi Caitlyn and the Tango, I would not have thought it possible that if the Caitlyn fits that the Tango doesn't. I find the cup shapes of those two bras so similar! I also have a friend who wears 36 K/38JJ/40J (UK), her breasts are very full on top. The Caitlyn doesn't fit her, it cuts into her breasts, but the Goddess Alice (in US 40 L) works for her. I know that the Jayne is good for women who are very full on top like my friend, I thus am very surprised to read that both the Caitlyn and the Jayne fit you.
