After I realized my most comfortable, best fitting 38JJ - Elomi » Lottie Plunge Bra (4180) cut in to the top of my breasts on larger days and sometimes I needed an extender when I was bloated even after 6 months of wear (that band has not worn out at all!) I decided I needed the next size up. Of course that and the Maya were sold out so I got the latest in the same shape, the Jodi, in 40JJ.

Besides the wide wires and some poking in the armpit, the fit is perfect. No cutting in/quadding. As I will replace the ... wires with smaller ones to match my omega shape needs I'm not concerned about the wire fit. The fit is essentially full coverage on me because of my short short roots and in this case I like it. I feel quite contained. The band is firm and feels great. The mesh is really sturdy. I love the shape I get as well. Projected and rounded.

The fabric is really special: soft, silky, but firm and an unusual print they call Velvet but which looks more like microbes under a microscope to me. It is cobalt and turquoise on a black background. Black lace that mirrors the pattern tops it off. It is more delicate than the Lottie lace but still supportive. The gore decoration is a beautiful jewel. All in all, the feel, fit, and look is superb.

Edit: I changed out the wires to some 30HH Panache wires a few weeks ago. I wore this bra for 12 hours today and forgot to take it off. I actually forgot I was wearing a bra!!!! First time for me after 150 bras.
