A fabulously addictive bra, egineered (yes, indeed !) for breast enhancement and emanciation. After 2 days in the "D" cup, tried the "E" which proved more appropriate.
Solid and firm yet feels light and comforting. A time capsule of long forgotten bra engineering. Looks, feels and works great. Deliciously assertively feminine.
Guess I'll be posting more in here, mind, some are models found uniquely on the continent.
Have a super week, best hugs,

Your experience and insight are definitely welcome.
You have a great week as well!
Glad you found such a good fit!
Yes Elila is the real deal! Do you like it better than the Triumph Doreen?
Don't get me wrong wendybien, Doreens are great pretty mechanically correct durable bras, they accompanied most of my breast emancipation. Eternal gratitude ! Pity they are phased out where I live...
The 1303 however takes things to the next level. It litteraly "aspires" breast tissue in the cups. And those cups are thiner, well sensitive and superb to wear. You feel the sling doing it's job, a pure vertical force component.
A very addictive hugging presence with mechanically correct engineered saping and a much higher "bra factor" than my doreens.
Sounds like you've found your ideal bra! I just read and enjoyed your review--very cool blog.
At my currently size or even when I was a bit larger (after having babies, etc.) I usually have not been able to notice any difference in feel or shaping from bras with internal slings. But for people with a heavier bust, a well-designed sling definitely seems to provide noticeable enhancement in shaping and uplift.
There are many Bratabase users who are from continental Europe, by the way, so your references will be useful to them!
Many thanks wendybien, I appreciate your experience exchange, glad my blog rantings pleased you ;).
Guess the next review will be a molded "Esmara" (think ALDI) model. Oh my my... Spoiler, the strap snapped as I was shifting in reverse to get out of my garage.
The 1303 sling is more perceivable at the breast base and lateral outwards portions.
Mine are east-west and usually I usually feel the corresponding cup gathering action. Here, shaping was more on the periphery which somehow enhances projection IMHO.
I'm very sensitive to projection and firm chest band action, so many years of relentless hard bra wearing to get them going up in size.
Best comparison I can relate to is how a firm structured nursing drop-cup feels, they often have a "sling" chassis.
However I have a project on how to improve the 1303 sling structure. Will keep posted, it's still in the "design office".
Have a wonderful day, let tomorrow be even better ;)

I like bras with authority over the emancipation of my boobs. Precisely what came out of the package. An Elila 1301, softcup with boned wings.
The 1301 borrows the band, wings, solid non-stretch straps and construction details of the absolutely great engineered boobs management device, the Elila 1303.
With some differences. The 1301 is made for smoother front appearance. Strap adjustment buckles are at the back and cups are of slippery smooth microfiber fabric with a slightly elastic sheer top panel.
The under-breast sling does not go to the strap anchor point as it does on the 1303.
This said, it feels and looks dramatically convincing, right from the box. Inviting, irresistible. ...Did I mention the to-die-for embroidery ?
I wear it unhooked a few minutes for preliminary straps check and most important of all, to allow the fabrics to warm-up, reach optimal elasticity and unfold from the flatness of the shipping.
And even then, with minimal convincing it shows to be very proficient at locating the IMF.
Good for me, helping hands offer assistance and shorten the hook-on process. Wow. Right.
It actually clicks on the IMF. Cups are high, carefully scoop and swoop a gogo.
I feel it stabilize, gently settle in place. It kind of comes to life, better wait a few hours, it might as well start to talk and say “Now I'm in charge, so you girls better behave !”.
Millimeter at a time, the cups aspire, literally, swallow my breasts with each movement. A delicious sensation as the slings joint the party and add a very rewarding gathering sensation.
Non-stretch wide straps ? Yes. Anytime. No slipping. No digging. No discomfort even if tightened beyond reasonable.
Yes but what is a reasonable bra setting for this bra ? Too loose doesn't really work. Kind of sloppy.
Too tight impairs projection. Very much too tight and the back might start to ride up. Yes might, that sturdy are the wings to keep things where they belong.
Mighty straps. All without digging in the shoulders or loose their flatness.
Experimentation shows that the best setting is when the entire bra begins to behave a bit like a brace, discretely promoting flat straight shoulders. An absolute delight.
Cups are smooth and somehow less “pointy” than their sister sheer lace ships of Elila 1303. Nevertheless, they spell projection with capital “P”. Oh Yes !
Even if the tit fairy had only the flavors shallow and east-west when she paid me a visit.
Deeper busts would certainly achieve a more uniform shape but who am I to complain about minor wrinkles? What this bra does is already far outside the reach of common tit-carriers.
A very assertive self confident bra. Walking and moving is like, “hey, I got them, so what's your problem with that ?”
Well suited for close fitting tops and even if the politically correct fashion police puts me on their heads-list, this achievement of bra engineering beauty deserves flashing.
Even far from a moral offense wardrobe incidents and sheer tops would stop traffic. Full bore boobs power baby !
A very good sturdy extremely pleasant to wear bra that does what it says. The kind one does not want take off even if mine seems to fit a bit on the tight side for this first try.
The chassis, wings, cup shape and slings work all day long and, even if I didn't take measures, I have the feeling that the projected volume of breast tissue had increased by evening time. Awesome ! Be it just an impression, it's a lovely one !
An extremely rewarding bra engineered for what bras should do best, cancel gravity and provide emotional and physical comfort.
And that's not all. Eventually time came to disrobe. Surprise ! The bra, this bra, won't fall by itself even when helping hands unhook it.
It holds the IMF line and the cups are designed so well that I had to slightly pull them to free my breasts.
Tomorrow is another day, another occasion to experience the hug of this bra. Looking forwards, any time! Read more 550 more words
Very pretty. Do you still prefer this style/shape more than an underwire?
Looks comfy!
AGBras , Well, that's a very good question indeed. And the answer is not a simple affair. In a nutshell:
I was not supposed to have boobs. Not satisfied with this verdict I called, implored the Tit Fairy for clemency. Eventually I started to submit my chest to the effects of sturdy pointy “heavy duty” bras with very rigorous bands worn as tight as it gets. With the help of soy milk it worked and by progressively increased cups size, changes became permanent.
So yes, I go for Elila 1301 and 1303. And still think that they are an absolute must, best possible option for breast emancipation and nostalgic pointy/torpedo glamour in my case. Which I can fully enjoy now daily as a very comfortable fleet for laundry rotation.
I genuinely hate those molded motorcycle helmets like mass produced one size stuffs most so called underwired bras. Abyssal quality, zero appeal, all the same never mind the brands.
To the opposite, the good ones seem to hate me. I would feel great in maybe one of 13 or 15 purchased underwired bras. However....
Things were much different when I donned an Elila 2801. Which I will review anytime soon. Spoiler, rocket science must have been an essential part in it's engineering.
MamaPagan , Oh yes, it sure is to the point of becomingaddictive ;)
A comfortable bra is the best kind of bra, right? 😍
MamaPagan , A bra is one of these deeply personal things that one experiences in an equally personal way.
For me a bra has to be comfortable and I have to be comfortable with. Like, just set it and forget it doesn't do it.
It has to be "present", communicate in it's own way, shape, hug & tug, impose authority over whatever it has to hold.
I call this presence "bra factor". It's a hard to define thing. What might have a high bra factor for me might be confusingly inapproriate to others and vice versa.
That's why I try to express both in my reviews insead of concentrating on perfecct wrinkle free catalog like fitting.
Pretty normal some models have more appeal and peak bra factor.
Welcome to Bratabase! You make is bra sound quite wonderful, & I'm glad you are happy with it. Good bras are hard to find for sure!
