This was an impulse purchase off eBay. It’s a used bra; my first used bra I’ve ever purchased.
This bra is a parachute bra x1000. The wires are so wide, the widest I’ve ever experienced, and they wrap all the way around to my back. No joke!
The cups “fit” but they’re obviously too large. They’re very tall and deep (!!!). Deep is what I need, but because the cups are obviously too large, there’s still wrinkling from the excess I stretched fabric. My boobs literally swim in this bra.
With all complaints aside, I’m honestly keeping this bra because it’s actually pretty dang comfortable and would be a ... fabulous bra to wear on my days off when I still want support but can’t handle an uncomfortable bra all day.
The fabric is soft! And for being a nude bra (I hate nude bras), it’s actually not that bad looking. A little “grandma” but it’s not that bad. I actually wish I could come across a Nina in black, maybe in a 36GG because it might fit and that colorway is much cuter.
This has the old Elomi wires, so they’re super flimsy, which is probably why they wrap around to my back. Also, I think the previous owner may have tried to alter the wires a bit because they’re a little warped looking, like they tried to make them narrower but it didn’t work. The band is pretty firm for a 36, but not uncomfortable.
Overall, like I said, I’m keeping this. With all the fit issues aside, it’s got that Elomi quality that is hard to pass up. Plus this bra seems a little hard to come by!

After a day’s worth of wear, I’m very surprised at how comfortable this bra turned out to be! Bandless is where it’s at!
