I'll post more after I've worn this for a day or two.

I've been eyeing this bra recently. I ordered one online after the bra calculator estimated me as a 40GG, but I know it's going to be too big in the band now. I've gone bra shopping multiple times this week and finally came home with the 38H Matilda and a couple other bras. I ended up with the nude colorway. It's pretty in the nude, but I think the purple colorway is prettier.

The band runs big!! To give you an example, the other bras I got in 38I today are about 30 inches unstretched. This ... is 33. So this is more like a 40 band. Keep that in mind. It's a comfortable bra (most Elomi bras are great for all-day comfort in my experience). I will have to either wear this on a tighter hook or take in the band. For today, I'm trying it out on the 2nd hook with the knowledge that I'll have to shorten the band at some point.

It does give a rounded shape and I think I like this one better under clothes than I liked my Amelia Spacer bra, which minimized the boobs and pushed them to the sides. I think this one has more center projection than the Amelia did. It's prettier as well.

I don't fully fill the bottom of the cup due to the shape. My breasts are somewhat even. I thought they leaned a little toward Full-on-Bottom, but the salesgirl said they were Full-on-Top and that's why I had that tiny bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. I tend to wear balconettes and half-cups for the most part.

Update: After wearing it for a couple weeks, I find that band is a bit loose for me and that the wires at the gore press on me. I can't lay down in the bra, which is a problem I used to have with some Cleo bras which had narrow, high wires. I do still like the bra, but I may have to take in the band at some point.

Reminds me of the Elomi Cate. Cup feels too high in the front near the strap so it shows under some tops and just feels too close to my neck. I don't like how high the cup is under my arm when I raise my arms in front of me. The Cafe au Lait is on the darker side. I have some gapping in the upper cups and around the underwire, which is normal for my projected shape. I'm still finding my size in general but the band is definitely too big for me. It felt like there was good lift. I didn't like how the top lace part wasn't stretchy- I like the forgiving nature of stretch lace at the top of the cup. I don't think I would bother trying this one again once I do find my true size.

This is a very comfortable and versatile bra. It makes for a good round shape, although doesn't provide a ton of lift unless you hook the J-hook. The wires are nice and wide and there is a decent amount of projection at the wire but is a bit closed at the top. The mesh design makes this very cool in summer and a relatively smooth look under most clothes.

Didn’t quite fit but showed potential. Might try a smaller band and cup size.

A very pretty unlined bra, I really wanted this one to work out for me but the cups are just too shallow.

Closest to fitting I have gotten. Only problem was the digging in the armpit area caused by the straps being to far apart and the gore being a little to short to be comfortable.
