Gore seems ok until I move too much, then it digs in a little. The quad-boobing is very slight and probably would not occur if there was not elastic along the top of the cup. But the cups are definitely too wide for me by at least a half inch. I'll keep it even though it's not a perfect fit because it's comfortable enough to wear.

The straps aren't fully adjustable. I don't know why I didn't even realize this. I own three of this bra. I wore them before my weight gain...and with multiple band extenders when I hoped it was "just a phase" from the pandemic. Well, here's the data anyway. This bra doesn't fit me, but that's not surprising. I ordered a bunch of bras in the wrong size, but this section still needs more data. I am a bit surprised that the band is as tight as it is, but I think that HAS to be because the cup is just soooo small on me. Quad-boob hell. The Elomi Kim used to be my go-to, so I'd love to try it in a larger cup size than this. Unfortunately, it's not in stock right now, so I'll have to wait to see how that goes, but in the meantime, here are the measurements for the measurement gods.

Cute would be cuter in a different color. Nice fabric and construction.

I like this bra. It’s snug through the band-I definitely noticed it was on my body-but that isn’t an issue for me. I had to adjust the straps a lot until I got the right fit, and on my larger breast this cut in just slightly at the top. Again, this wasn’t so bad that I didn’t wear the bra. It was virtually unnoticeable under my shirt. Had I had a tighter shirt on, it probably would have been noticeable. Comfy fabric, so comfy. My two concerns were the bulge under my arms, which I suspect is migrated tissue from wearing ... poorly fitted bras for the last 40 years or so, and the bulge wasn’t enormous but I did see it. The other issue was my smaller breast (left) had a bit of a pointy shape in this cup. I had to swoop and scoop several times during the day to smooth it out, but it happened repeatedly. My larger, right breast looked amazing in the bra, though. Fit it perfectly. Smooth, round and full. One thing I will add. Because I have worn such bad bras I am not used to the back strap staying solidly in place throughout the day. I kept checking it to make sure it wasn’t riding up, because it felt ‘high’ on my back. Nope, it stayed put and didn’t ride up at all. It settled nicely in my back folds and never budged. I liked the bra and will keep it/wear it again. I do need pasties for it though because my nipples were very evident under my shirt. Nice bra, relatively good fit and great support.

I wanted this to work so bad but it cuts into tissue on the top. I may cup down and see if it's just too big.
The bra is comfortable, the band is firm. It is a good solid construction and fabric. And I think the fabric is very cute.
Wires are wide enough for my slightly wide roots. The gore is a little wide, but it sits low so that helps.

Band is too firm for me to hook in back by myself despite seeming like the right band size once on. That's a dealbreaker for me so I'm returning it.

This is a really close fit for me in terms of projection. I am very projected and pendulous shaped with center fullness (so plunges are a big no) and the lace top is what sold me on this. Normally I fall out of a plunge! The gore almost lays down which is a miracle. Due to my shape I never fill in the bottom of a cup and top tissue is extremely soft from breastfeeding twice. So my right side is about 1-2 cups sizes smaller than my left which often represents a challenge. I've been looking for a replacement for my Elomi Tia because it's discontinued and now I'm spilling out of the top of the old Tia's. My only issue is that (I think) due to the extra fabric I'm getting some rubbing under the arm front of arm area rubbing. Not armpit. Now I'm super sensory sensitive to clothing so am I just hyper focusing and it's a correct fit or what?

I was hoping this Elomi would fit similar to the Matilda, but it didn't work for me nearly as well. I think one problem is the fabric has less stretch, and therefore more fabric, and it fit me pretty baggy especially at the top of the cup. Most of the elasticity is in an elastic band the runs along the top of the cup, and that exasperated the spillage I tend to get near the gore with plunge bras, because it was cutting in specifically at the edge. It would likely work well for people with for even fullness, and the smooth fabric and lower profile seams seemed like they'd look good under thin shirts

This was another attempt to make my non-Elomi shape boobs fit into an Elomi bra. The feedback I was getting from Breakout Bras was “Your tissue and frame suits the Elomi plunge bra shape really well, with exception of that really full at the arm crease coverage you're getting from the side of the cups (and the wrinkling).”
So I ordered quite a few bras in different plunge styles and sizes. This was one of the worst but also best. The gore is fairly low (sorry, another one I forgot to measure). The band is a comfortable shape and holy smokes, look at how low it is ... under my arm and at the wing! I think this is the lowest I’ve had an Elomi cup come on the sides, which is great. The material also feels very nice.
Not so great: lack of immediate projection, cups too separate, and straps too wide. I would also say the quadding is an issue, but I think most of that would be fixed if my boobs had somewhere to go at the wire.

I have written many reviews for this same style bra just in similar sizes. I can't seem to get the right fit. In this latest size of 36HH, the band feels much better than the 38 bands I tried, in that in my bust area the bra feels more settled in my IMF rather than pushing down into my ribs (felt this with the 38), but it's pretty hard to fasten on the loosest hook, so maybe that will get easier as it stretches with wear?
I've got the same great shaping. My slightly larger breast is not fully contained with the side underwire cutting into that breast tissue ... so I keep trying to scoop that breast forward into the cup but then my breast is spilling out of the cup on the inner side. Actually as I'm looking down, I have a bit of a overflow in the cup on both sides. And still gapping where the strap meets the cup. I also have some wrinkling on the bottom fo the cup along the underwire.
The band has got the same smooth fabric that feels like it's got a slight amount of give but without being "stretchy". And the stretch lace along the top of the cup is not in an area that's doing any real supporting work so it's a nice feature to give some versatility with fluctuations.
This size for me just feels a little tight all over, but maybe that's a good thing?

This website has a bunch of Tia's left: https://www.shopavasimone.com/products/elomi-tia?variant=41954872426714
It looks similar to Panache Jasmine, have you tried that model? Other than Tia being bandless, the construction is similar. Although if the chafing in the front is what is bothering you, maybe you could try a different style? For me, I won't wear a bra at all when I get that chafing issue, it's painful! It's usually from the band being too big though, where the straps are a little wider to accommodate a bigger band measurement. Have you taken your measurements recently?
