This bra is super cute, but unfortunately it's too small for me! It was the first bra I bought after realizing I'd been incorrectly fitted using the +4 method for years, so it was a close estimate, off by one cup size. Unfortunately, I couldn't return it or exchange for a different size because I ripped it a little on accident. Anyway, here's what I think about it.
-The print is SUPER CUTE! Before my current bra fitting knowledge, the only colors I ever found in my [wrong 32DD] size [in America] were nude, white, and maybe black or ugly light greyish pink if I was lucky. I was ... thrilled that the Ellie had such a cute, colorful, and most important to me, youthful print.
-The center gore comes up too high for my shape. Although this particular bra was the wrong size, I still suspect the correct size wouldn't help much with this. My boobs are very close together, to the point of there being literally no space at all between them, so the high center gore gave me some bruising (and I doubt that level of irritation would improve by going up a cup size).
-The overall shape is great. It's nice and rounded, with a moderate amount of lift (as in lifting the boobs off the ribcage!). It's also very front-facing, none of the dreaded east-west effect happening.
I would probably try buying this bra again just for the shape and print if it wasn't for the high center gore. I wish I could buy it, but I just don't see it being comfortable for the middle of my chest. I wouldn't recommend this bra for close-together boobs, but I would recommend it for full-on-top because the top hardly cut in at all despite it being a cup size too small for my full-on-top boobs.
