I have a small frame and large breasts, size 40I. This is my "everyday" bra that lifts, shapes and supports the weight of my breasts. This bra gives me such a beautiful shape. . The inner foam sling in the cups gives great shaping to the breasts. The straps are wide, padded and do not cut into into my shoulders. I purchased five additional bras of this style plus I also own three of the front hook style of this bra. I hand wash my bras and line dry therefore they last a long time. I would recommend this bra to any full busted woman.
I am a size 40I and needed a comfortable firm support bra. I also been wearing the Elila Jacquard Back Hook bra for the past few years. I decided to try the Front Hook version. I find the Front Hook is much easier to put on and without the back hooks my clothes look much smoother. With the back support and lift that I get with this bra, my back and shoulder straps no longer pain me. Being small framed and top heavy (I seem to be just all out front) requires special 'assistance' daily. The wide straps give me shoulder comfort, the wide back and sides helps hold my bra in place. Also the firm cups with under cup support panels keeps me from sagging as the day goes on. I can now defy gravity and be comfortable all day.
I too have a back and front opening @Elila (40H/40I). @Longlines are easily the most comfortable bra for the larger, @heavy bust, yet fewer an fewer seem to be available these days. I would be very interested to make contact with the diminishing band of 'longlne' fans. sincerely. G.C.
I have 42N and 44L in 1305 and 1515 style.
I partage your perfect description concerning the comfort and the shape giving by this two modeles of bra.
