This bra is the new version of Elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support Bra (8030) . I had a few Caitlyns back in the day which weren't a really good fit but super comfortable. So I gave this new version a try. As far as I can tell the construction is similar. The straps are made of a different material. They look a bit like luggage straps. It's a true full cup bra that provides high coverage. The wires are on the softer more flexible side of Elomi wires and are quite wide. They also stretch around your body if there is enough tension on the band. ...

My shape: tall, narrow to average wide roots, full on top, projected, center heavy

The band feels tts for a 34 and for me it's a little too loose. The wires are too wide on me and don't feel as supportive. I also find the center gore a bit too tall and wide for my close set breasts. The shape I get is a typical natural shape, not much uplift and a little flattened on top. Overall the bra is good quality and provides average support with the most comfort and a natural shape. I think it's best suited for wide roots and a full on bottom shape. I returned it as it was not quite right for me and I prefer other bras.

The band on this bra is very very firm. I fit very comfortably into Elomi Caitlyn Side Support Bra (EL8030) in a 34HH, but I am having to wear Cate on an extender for a few days. It feels a little lower cut than Caitlyn, but it's still definitely a full cup bra. I am having some issues with the band underneath the cup and along my back rolling up, but I have had this problem with Elomi bras before and it doesn't seem to be related to fit issues.

I love the details on the front of the bra, and the "scalloped straps" that ... Elomi claims prevent the adjusters from slipping are beautiful as well.

Edit 10/01/2016: The band is absurdly tight. This is unusual for Elomi so I would blame it on this colorway. I have had this bra for several months and rarely wear it. Because of that, I can now attribute some of the intense shoulder blade pain I was feeling to this bra. I don't know what it is, exactly, but something about this bra turns it into a torture device on me. I am now wearing a 34J, but no other 34HH bra except for my pink @Elomi Caitlyn causes me such intense and specific pain.

The 34" band fits comfortably/snugly on the loosest hooks. The bottom of the cups are well filled but there is minor wrinkling at the top of the cups. The gore tacks. Unfortunately the wires are much too wide for me, they reach all the way to my back past my underarms. The side fabric is much too tall and ends up folding over itself where it touches my Tail of Spence. It also wrinkles quite significantly along the side seams on both sides. The fabric is nice and soft, quite satiny. I will be returning this bra.
