This bra is discontinued.
I love the look of the Etta, especially in the pomegranate color. The fabric feels good on my skin and it is definitely good quality. The thing is after a few hours it hurts to wear! The underwires begin to dig in under the breast. I've never experienced anyting like it in other bras. This is my first and last bandless bra.

A good option for the petite-plus market or anyone with narrow shoulders and/or a short torso.
Call me Goldilocks: Freya wires are too narrow, Panache wires are too wide and too long, Fantasie straps are too wide-set, and most American brands are just weird-fitting all over. This Elomi style solves pretty much all of the problems. The cups are much the same width as Fantasie, neither terribly wide nor particularly narrow. The wires are notably shorter than Panache on the sides, so they don't poke me in the armpits. (I'm 5' 2''.) And the straps are set in more than other seamed, full-coverage bras in my size, so ... I have no problems with strap slippage. (I never realized I had "narrow" shoulders until I tried on UK bras.) The Etta has J-hooks on the straps, so it can be converted to a racerback style for more strap security.
Other things I like:
1. The elastic sewn into the top edge of the cup. No gaping on my slightly smaller right boob.
2. The firm side-sling in the cup. Definitely gets my wide-set and splaying girls front and center.
3. The exceptionally soft fabric on the wire casing.
4. The wide, flocked elastic on the wings. Minimal rolling on this bandless style.
5. The sunflower embroidery on the sheer top panel of the cups. I'm gaga for sunflowers, true, but even if you aren't, you'll appreciate that this everyday bra has a little extra femininity.
6. The width of the gore. (See wide-set and splaying, above.)
7. The arch in the gore. No digging into my tummy.
One quibble:
The band is firm at first, though it softens with wear. Until I got this broken in, the gore tended to feel a little scratchy on its bottom edge. (I said it was a quibble.)
EDITED to add: After wearing this for a few weeks and meanwhile trying more bras, I realized that the wire on this is sitting slightly on my breast tissue at the sides. (The 6-inch cup-width at rest can stretch to about 7 inches wide on the body.) Others have noted that the wire on the Etta is narrower than other Elomi models, and so I probably would need a 36FF in this.
I would love to see this style in more colors and patterns in the future.

Love the fit of this bra - very comfortable. It's very pretty in a classic way - understated. I wore it all day the first day and never thought about taking it off. The straps are shorter than some of the other Elomi multiways, such as Rita.

This bra supports my girls well and lifts and separates them. It is a higher coverage that what I am used to, but that actually helps hold them in and keep from bouncing or moving around too much or getting that quad-boob effect in anyway. I also like how the center is a bit higher so that my tummy doesn't squish it when I am sitting or anything. The only downsides are that it is not that sexy and it does not give cleavage.

If i fits beautifully and is comfortable, who cares if it's sexy?
