Overall the bra feels cheap. The wires are flimsy and bend too easily for a bra in UK 42GG, the stiffness reminds me of older Freya/Fantasie wires. It would work for breasts up to about UK 36G/38FF and sistersizes, but at 42GG the wires are underengineered. The elastic feels cheap too. Compared to Elomi or Panache Sculptresse the fabric of the band contains both less and cheaper elastic material and more fabric, causing it to stretch less and wear out sooner.

I have not been able to put on this bra since the band is a bit too short, I cannot close it without using force and damaging the bra. I could go out and get an extender, but the quality and profile of this bra put me off.

The bra has an unappealing mildly point cone shape; I can tell without putting it on that the bottom cup is not roomy enough for me and that the bra would slide down and dig into my ribs. Last time I encountered a similar shape was in Elomi Tamarie.

Despite the name, the bra is not moulded - it is seamed foam and the seams are bumpy, bumpy enough to probably show through a lot of t-shirts.

Hope this review helps somebody.

This bra is not owned any more

  Thanks for this - I had looked at the bras but didn't pull the trigger as I figured they were not really up to plus size and full bust construction. Looks like I wasn't wrong.

• Thanks for this review and for the measurements of Elomi Aquila Half Cup Bra (4320) !
