I should start by saying that I have realized in my bra journey that 38H is not my actual size and I'm probably closer to a 36J.
I personally really didn't like the feel of this bra at all. I have a lot of breast tissue under my arms that I like to be brought up front and center, and I felt like this bra just kind of squished all that back under my arms. It feels pretty similar to the droopy nursing bras I've been wearing. It's definitely minimizing. The gore also does not tack for me. The underwire comes closer to my IMF than all the other Elomi's I've tried in this size. The fabric is smooth. Lace is not scratchy at all. It's like a boring every day beige bra that tries to be a little fun with some lace, but still looks meh. Not for me.

Last one of the Wardrobe order!

Lydia is absolutely based on the Etta frame. Super narrow wires for an Elomi bra, low gore, low sides, it even has a keyhole gore like Etta does. But it doesn't feel right to me. The gore doesn't completely tack and I've got some cutting in from the elastic on top, but it's not a huge amount? But it also feels...flat? Shallow? It reminds me a bit of how Carmen fit. It also, unlike Morgan and Etta, doesn't give me a very flattering shape, and is kind of flattened natural, I guess is the best way of putting it. And, as usual, need more depth at the bottom.

Band is very stretchy, which makes it very comfy. The elastic pattern is nice, and I really like the little charm on the gore. But overall I'd say this was the biggest disappointment of the four I tried.
