Note: I returned this bra.
It was my first attempt at purchasing the right size bra for me, and the ABTF calculator gave me the size 44E. Someone told me that Elomi bras were very stretchy, so I sized the band down to the 42FF. Big mistake.
The cups were perfect, but I could only wear it with TWO extenders, and the straps were digging so much into my shoulders it was hard to move (using the J-hook, as I always do). Without the J-hook, the straps were barely loose at their longest setting.
The fabric was uncomfortable for me, not as much in the cups as it was in my underarm. Too scratchy. I could also hear the strap rings squeaking.
Overall, it looked great in the mirror, it didn't look brilliant up close, and it was an uncomfortable hell. I haven't had the guts to order a new Matilda (because I actually liked the fit of the cups and its look) because I'm unsure of the size fit of the 44E. My other Elomi 44Es are a bit tight too.
