Underwired version of Caitlyn 8033
More...
This bra is discontinued.
This bra fit, well probably, but the high coverage that it has was a no go for me. I couldn't wear it under a single tank top that I own and I wear those every single day. The bra would show over the top of it. Needless to say if I can't wear it with my current clothes then it's getting returned, which is exactly what happened.

This is my daily bra, because it is the best I have now. I am also new to this whole bra search, and the dd myth. This bra is basically great but for one thing, the wires seems to come back on my body too far. I think the underwire is just too wide. I alway try to bend it into a thinner shape before I put it on.

This is the first bra that I bought in my "new and correct" size. The gore is fairly high, but it's not a problem unless you a) do a lot of bending over and b) have some tummy that will push it up when you do. I originally thought that the underwires were too far back under my arm, but it sits nicely along the outer curve of my breast tissue. It's a good basic bra - not terribly sexy, but not too plain, either! The lace design on the top of the cups will show through thin material. so beware of that.

This bra poked into me underneath my breasts, but once I bent the wires outward that problem went away. The support is more in the band than in the straps, and the bra is pretty. The side support is nice, but the band stretched - a lot. The first day, the 34" band was uncomfortably tight, but within a week I was on the tightest hook. It is now (after a couple of months) getting too lose. I alternate this bra with the panache Tango II, and this is less itchy.

Great support. It's not as firm on the sides as I would expect for a bra named "Side Support" but I do feel fully supported, there's no jiggle. The center front tacks perfectly flat to my breastbone.
The band fits pretty aggressively. The first time I wore this bra, the straps squeaked and it left some pretty serious welts under the band, on either side of my ribcage. It's gotten quieter and more comfortable since then, as everything stretches out a bit.
The wires seem to reach around towards the back of my ribs, but that is OK because my breasts are very full on the sides. They are fully contained and there's no pinching or squishing.
There's a tiny, tiny amount of cup wrinkling at the top. I can't tell if it's not quite a perfect fit, or if it's just the double layer of fabric at the top of the cup. This wrinkling does not show under clothes.

Ugh. I really don't like this bra. It has a couple of good points, though. The magenta red color is really pretty & the material is silky soft. It is a LOT of bra, however, & looks very matronly. The under wires dig into my ribs, so I had to bend them to avoid bruises.

Kind of a basic looking bra. Gives good support and shape even though the cups are too big for me. Seems comfortable but I didn't wear it long-term. Nice, soft fabric. Definitely a full-coverage bra. Comes up pretty high so it's not good for low-cut shirts. This seems like a great everyday bra for a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl.

This bra is pretty, for a fairly basic bra. Three of the four cup sections are smooth satin with the upper part mesh with embroidery and the band mesh. Like most (all?) Elomi bras, it gives a somewhat wide and downward slanted ("natural-looking" ) shape.
It is fairly comfortable, though the bit of band under the cups immediately rolls up.
I really can't figure out what's going on with the fit of this bra, neither size 34K nor 34JJ seems to be quite right. I appreciate that this one comes in a 34K, unlike many other Elomi bras, but I think I still need another band size smaller. Or else for the band not to be so stretchy. I think the 34K I tried on was more stretched out than the 34JJ, so that explains some of the band-fit difference.
The blackberry is a very pretty purple.

This is a pretty comfortable bra, however I feel I need to come down a size in the back and probably cup-up (38H)
This is a lovely full coverage bra though and for someone with a large set of breasts, this is a very nice non-jiggle option. I LIKE the shape - but it is quite high and pointy. I do find that after a while the wire on the side pokes me a bit, but I feel this is my fit issue on the bra back. I like his bra. I feel it offers me excellent support, also.

I love this bra. It actually makes my boobs sit in front of me instead of wide. It's definitely no push-up, but as an every day bra, it's perfect. Definitely buy it snug because it will stretch in the band.

It's a good thing you returned it because you have a lot of tissue coming out of the side.
