A welcome addition to the Elomi line, best for those who need wide, stretchy wires and a low gore.

Do not be misled by the "cup width" measure of 6.5 inches: The underwire in this plunge bra is remarkably flexible, and I can easily stretch it past 8.5 inches. This presents me with a problem, since I usually find that a cup width of about 7 inches fits me well. The Carmen's short and stretchy wings pull the wires wide, and on my body, I find the wire extends about an inch past my breast tissue.

In contrast, the lower cup is made of a laminated material that has almost zero stretch in any direction. The upper cup is a crocheted lace that has a boho feel, and the lace is edged with a strong elastic that should accommodate minor unevenness or fullness on top well.

(This same review is attached to the sister size, 36FF.)

This bra is not owned any more
