Very basic. No lace or bows. I'm assuming so that its "smoothing", but they forgot that the boning would show. Pretty comfortable, but I don't feel secure in it.

It very slightly wrinkles at the mesh top of the cup, probably due to breast assymmetry and pendulousness, but not enough to go down a cup-size. Would prefer it had 3-4 hooks with a thicker band, instead of the 2-hooked skinny band. Would also prefer the side of the bra, the fabric and underwire, came up a bit farther. Otherwise it's comfortable and the underwires under the breast and at the gore fit right.

Even or full on top shapes, beware! Elastic at the top of the cup may cause quad boob.

Cups shallow-ish and very wide. Band is snug and supportive.

This is a pretty bra. Unfortunately I get slight quadding in one of the cups so it will be returned.

I've finally figured this bra out after trying several sizes. I fit this bra somewhere between a 40GG and a 40H. However, there is a shape/style mismatch which is why I couldn't get the sizing right. I have had quadding in every size, 40GG to 40HH. That is because the elastic on the top of the cup is tighter than the cup so it cuts in to FOT breasts. It has nothing to do with the size of the cup. The other problem is cup separation. The gore is quite wide and my close breasts push it out. This creates instability.

In this size ... the wires are almost narrow enough for me. There is much less east west going on in this bra than in other sizes. Because the spacer fabric is stretchy I think I could get away with wearing this size if I cut off the elastic top and sewed the gore together, something I've done with the other two sizes I own. I will lurk on eBay until one comes up and snap it up to customize. I'm hoping opening the cup will eliminate side quad.

This bra is very durable, pretty, and provides a great shape with coverage though it is light weight. The only issue comfort wise for me is I don't like the lace under my armpits, but it can be cut off for comfort. I highly recommend it if you have wide, separate, FOB breasts or if you're willing to alter it. See how I altered my other one at 42H - Elomi » Amelia Spacer Moulded Bra (8740)

This bra is gorgeous and it has great support but the straps are too wide-set for me. the rub at my shoulders and arm pits and rubbed my skin raw after just a few hours.

Lovely bra, my breasts feel very secure and I get a nice shape from this one. I am breastfeeding, so one side is quite a bit bigger than the other. Both breasts fit nicely in the cups with no gaping. I like the little peekaboo detail at the gore, and the straps can be converted in back for tank tops.

This bra produces nice rounded breasts but is wide set and built for wide roots. Under the lace is a satin non-stretch panel that is supposed to pull the breast forward. On my soft breasts it creates a line dividing my breasts which is sometimes noticeable. The lace can be scratchy under the armpit.

This bra has the typical soft Elomi wires that stretch back and mold to the body so if you need wider wires and prefer molding wires this is a good choice for you. Keep in mind that the projection forward may change as the molding happens however, especially if you have ... a lot of forward projection rather than side projection.

Edit: Alterations

On me the top of the cup has always had a lot of empty space, the straps were a little wide set, and the cups were very wide, on top of the other issues I had with this bra. So after my beige Etta fell apart I decided would put those stiffer, narrower wires in this Amelia because I really needed a fitting seamless beige bra to go under my low cup white shirts (and if I can find even narrower wires for cheaper I will put them in for better forward projection). First I cut off all the scratchy lace. I cut about an inch off the cups (I drew freehand along the top of my bigger side with a pencil and cut, rounding it out, then held it up to the other cup and used it as a pattern to cut along), removing just the spacer fabric (which really has amazing construction, little threads holding each side of the fabric apart inside) and cutting down including the wires channels and gore. Because the Etta has shorter wires as well, I was able to make this bra a true plunge. I then hand sewed the satiny side sling along the top of the cup on each side to move the straps in a bit. This created a bit of a strange curve along the side sling, but it's not noticeable under clothes. I hand sewed the wire channels shut at the gore. Then I pinned and machine sewed elastic fold over tape along the top which I had cut. I put it from strap to strap because some of the original finishing is scratchy. I've also considered sewing it along the underarm section, maybe when I have more time. You can see my pictures for how great it looks on, and reduces all the cup gap on my larger side for my short rooted breasts (sorry that it looks gross, I need to wash the bra, something spilled on it which I was driving around with it looking for matching finishings). I don't have too much cleavage, but it doesn't show under any of my thin, white, low cut shirts, and I don't feel like I'm falling out in the middle though the gore is quite low. I'm going to have to get more narrow wires and some Elomi Amelias online for cheap and do the same thing when I need a new beige seamless bra. It's not beautiful or whatever, but so practical, and everyone needs at least one practical bra. Summer shirts here I come!

New cup measurements
Cup width: 8 inches
Wire length: 15 inches
Gore width: 1.5 inches
Gore height: 2.5 inches
Cup height: 10 inches

Total cost and time:
Cost of bra + $5 for 2 yards of tape (I only used 1 yard for the top however).
2 hours thinking, cutting, and sewing time. If you don't have a machine it might take longer to hand sew the fold over elastic along the top. I recommend lots and lots of pins as it is curved.

If you are wide shouldered and wide rooted, this bra would be the best bet for a seamless plunge. For me, the straps fall off and the sides cut into my pectoral chub, causing lacerations. On the J hook, the straps feel much better, but give me shoulder aches after a while. The wires also stick into my armpit. Not the shape for me, but the cups are nice and rounded, and give an oval top to bottom appearance, rather than the usual Elomi pointy look with their cut and sew cups. The plunge is also nice, it's hard to find plunges in this size.

This bra has the typical soft Elomi wires that stretch back and mold to the body so if you need wider wires and prefer molding wires this is a good choice for you. Keep in mind that the projection forward may change as the molding happens however, especially if you have a lot of forward projection rather than side projection.

Sadly the aqua/teal color has a much bigger problem with the underwire digging into my underarms than the red one did. If I had gotten this one first, I would not have bought a second color. The cups, band, straps, and center gore all fit perfectly on this one as well. The underwire just rises up even higher than on the red one, which had a 'bearable' underwire problem.

Very well made bra , pretty details on upper cup. Bought it when I was much heavier and never wore it so can't give a fit report.

this bra is gray with little rose leaves all over it, not quite hearts but very nearly. I wasn't really wow'd by this bra the same way I have been by my other Elomi's. I'm not sure if that's because it is a GG or because the bra it's self was lightly worn. But it doesn't fit that great. From what I've read different styles in this brand really are different. This bra is pretty but I don't find the straps or cups work as well for me as other bras I've tried in this brand. The comfort and craftsmanship is still there. And based on how my ... other bras in the same brand are holding up, I think the materials here may be at fault. From what I under stand gray dye can actually be detrimental to elastic and shorten it's life. So if I were to guess, I'd say this same bra in the other color may hold up better. The shape is still what we've come to expect from Elomi, though this bra doesn't have the side panels that are found in the Betty, Lexi, and Juliet. Which I advocate for anyone in my size rage, Good bra if you can find it cheep, if you are going to pay full price, better to get one of the three I listed above.

I really liked being able to wear this swim bra underneath tankinis or other swimsuits and be supported (it doesn't fit me anymore, though)

I also have the regular Bijou in the same size and this one is tighter and the cups seem slightly smaller. The band feels small on me and it's giving me quadraboob. I'd suggest ordering this bra a bit larger than you wear.

This is such a great bra. When I was smaller in cup size it fit and held my breasts up all day without straps. It's not super breathable in the summer but the thick and stiff molded cups don't show nipples and really hold my 5 lb breasts up.

Love, love, love this bra! First time ever to find a comfortable, well-fitting molded bra!!! I can wear under t-shirts without tank or cami. It is so unusual for me to find all the perks with a bra and enjoy wearing it too.

Updated on Apr 09, 2016 Flag this

I also have this bra (and several of it's "cousins") in 36E. The band on the 36E was obviously too big, so I altered it myself, and the cups were a touch on the small side. I am pretty sure I really needed a 34FF, but since that wasn't available, I decided to just see how bad of a fit the 34G was. Well...

The band length is perfect. I couldn't ask for a more perfect band tightness--it's the Goldilocks of bands. The cups however, were just plain wrong for me. I fill the bottom OK, but the top has unsightly wrinkles--more on my smaller side than my larger, ... but still. The center gore tacked--almost too good. It dug in quite painfully, which on other bras back before I realized that you actually *can* buy a true plunge, I used to solve by wadding up a cottonball or something else under the center gore to soften it. That cottonball trick didn't work on this bra. If it would have fit elsewhere, I might have tried to bend the wires out, but since it didn't, I left it alone.

The cups come up too high on the side. When you are petite, it's a fine line between too high and tolerable. For me, too high and too wide-set straps were another set of deal breakers. These wires feel like they wrapped clear around to my back, and I'm always amazed at how big of a jump it can be between cup sizes. Especially when you're messing around with sister sizing and they don't make exactly what you need.

A note: the fabric is scratchy until it's been washed 3 or 4 times. Or at least that was my experience with the other 2 Betty's I've owned. I'm still not completely sold on the whole mesh thing, but since I am not constantly thinking about it, obviously it's not bothering me that much. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

bra was listed as a 38J didn't realize that was american sizing. Didn't even try it on, will be way to small. Sending back after posting the sizes. It's a beautiful bra though. If you like brown. Nice low gore, stretch lace along the cup line.
