This bra was my go to comfort bra before switching to wireless. The straps are wide, the cups are wide enough, and the bra itself feels super sturdy. They last years as long as you take care of them. A real work horse bra.
The only Elomi bras that work for me are the plunge or the half-cup. This plunge seems to be on the same base as all the others. Has a relatively narrow gore that tacks well. For an Elomi, the wires aren't quite as wide as the full cup ones (those go half way to my back!). The projection is solidly forward.
It’s Matilda, formerly one of my favorite bras. Great material and look, great construction, unintentionally chosen in the wrong size so it fit way too big. 34J might fit better, but I don’t think it’ll have enough projection for me. This bra typically fit me pretty shallowly. I LOVE this color though!
Ah the Matilda, it's one of the best bra by Elomi. The colour is gorgeous! I also struggle with the issue that if I choose the smaller size it cuts in on top and has not enough projection, and if I size up there is gaping on top and sides. :(
Overall the bra sat to high up for me and the cups were a little big. I found that the band fit perfectly but after trying on it seemed to already start stretching.
This is basically the only bra that fits me--perfect every time. Gore doesn't dig (which is always a problem for me with close-set boobs). Just wish the band went down to smaller sizes.
This is the most comfortable bra I've found in a while. I really like the bandless aspect, I have omega shaped breasts and always have some space at the bottom of the cups and usually end up with the band under the cup folded up as well. Since there is no band, the wire can actually sit in the crease of my breast instead of an inch or so below.
The top of the cup is pretty stretch lace that feels sturdy and really gives a custom fit. The cup provides a lot of lift and holds/supports well, I'm not bouncing around. It gives a nice shape too, rounded and natural, although you can see the seams through thinner/tighter shirts, which I've just accepted as part of having a large bust.
The band is now slightly large, I think it's a stretchier material so I'm already using the middle hook after about 2-3 months of wear. I will be buying another of these and will probably go down a band size to accommodate for this.
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. Read more 73 more words
Sorry I forgot to measure this before I sent it back to Nordstrom’s. I miss long line bras/bralette styles from when I was a bit smaller (and honestly probably in the wrong size). I was looking forward to trying this out, but Elomi just hates my shape. It is too big in the band, too tall on the sides, too separate at the gore, straps too wide... all the typical Elomi problems for me.
I went down in cup size at the recommendation of the folks at Breakout Bras. They said the wrinkling at the sides and wires showed that the cups were too big, so I figured ...it was worth a shot. Turns out it is just an overall shape disaster for me since the cup size down (and my adventures into going down to 34J in the (34J - Elomi » Matilda Plunge Bra (8900) and 34J - Elomi » Charley Plunge Bra (4380)) give me pretty serious quad boob.
It’s okay, though. I feel I have thoroughly exhausted all the Elomi styles that could even possibly work for me. So I guess this is it and I can stop trying Elomi. Read more 90 more words
My shape is narrow, even, projected with average-to-short roots, close-set with lots of upper-center fullness and soft, saggy breast tissue. I usually find that Elomi bras are generally too wide and not enough room at the gore for my shape. But I took a chance to buy this bra secondhand, and it's quite comfortable to wear! This, despite it being technically too small - the cups aren't deep enough to contain all of my breast tissue, so my breasts get squished up and towards the center. I removed the elastic from top of cups to allow more of my upper/center fullness to squish out, and I still get quadboob, but I can wear this bra without pain! This is a cup size smaller than I would normally wear, so wires are not too wide. I'm thinking of getting the Morgan in 36GG and putting in narrower wires.
-Fits but mleh shape -Not as forward as I like -Feels almost minimizing -Gore tacks but then floats after movement -Band perfectly snug -Feels more full cup than I'm used to
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.
Super pretty. Surprising lift for lace. Lace is kind of scratchy. Ballet pink color is SO pretty. Band feels pretty loose, but I also realize this probably isn't my size. Reminds me of the Victoria Secrets Dream Angels demi bras from the 2010s (back when I was a lot smaller). I like the placement of the stretchy lace in the cups- I feel it works well for my center full breasts. I don't like how it's VERY visible under clothing. I tend to like bras that are basic and versatile.
I haven't found my right size yet so maybe that will help the fit of this bra, but I will say this band is extremely stretchy and much looser than any of the other Elomi's I've tried so far in the same size (Cate, Kim, Lydia, and Charley). I tried it on with the tightest hook fastened and it probably could have been a even tighter than that. So maybe size down one or even two band sizes for this one. The cups were very soft material that seemed pretty stretchy yet supportive. It didn't feel as supportive as the bras I've tried with the tight satin material, but still decent. It definitely felt minimizing. I had some slight wrinkling at the top that did not show through camis. The bra came up too high for me in the sense that the top of the cup that meets the strap was visible when my shirt slipped down a little. The fabric felt like it would be cool and breathable in hot weather. Very comfortable to wear.
I ordered this bra in a few sizes hoping they would work and I've written other reviews for those well. Bottom line, I'll probably keep trying until I find one that at least contains all my breast tissue because I'd love to have a basic bra like this in my wardrobe. I'll probably just have to ignore the gapping along the underwire and strap. It's a fantastic looking basic molded bra. Reminds me very much of my old favorite Freya Deco. It's probably not the most ideal bra for my projected breasts, but I'll ignore its flaws for its versatility.
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? Read more 137 more words
I wrote a more detailed review for this bra model in the 38H size if you're interested.
This bra is gorgeous and I wish it fit, but I think my breasts are too projected to really get a great fit in this kind of molded cup. It's possible I need to size down in the band and up in the cup to get a closer fit, but since my breasts are having trouble filling the cup top and bottom but is spilling out all around the cup, I think my breasts and this lovely bra are not meant to be.
Ah the Matilda, it's one of the best bra by Elomi. The colour is gorgeous! I also struggle with the issue that if I choose the smaller size it cuts in on top and has not enough projection, and if I size up there is gaping on top and sides. :(
