Wires too wide for anyone with narrow roots. Women with breasts that are full on top wouldn’t do well in this plunge bra.

Despise this thing. It's really adorable and I won't throw it out, but the gore is too wide and both individual wires are too wide as well. I think I'll have to try panache Ana next.

oh, boobs. why are you so expensive!!!

Matilda is in my opinion Elomis greatest hit. It's their besteller and they make in a bazillion colours. I got the plain black because it was the only one available from a local online shop and I needed it quickly.
I had a few Matildas in my old size 32JJ and they were a good fit although a bit wide and the only plunge that worked for me in that size range. I was surprised that the 32GG also works in my current size! It's actually a good width for my fairly wide root and has a good cup height. The gore is low enough to not pinch ... my close set boobs. The wires are fairly hard and it needs to be worn in. At first the gore would press into my sternum but it gets better with wear. The fabric is mesh, it's quite thin and feels a bit cheap. The cute embroiderie does elevate it from looking boring and cheap though. I would recommend this bras as it's very widely available, does fit a good range of sizes, is supportive, sturdy and longlasting. It's most likely to work for someone who likes a lower gore but still good support, wider wires, tall cups and overall a sturdy supportive every day bra. If you need more space on top and softer wires, go for the Charley plunge with stretch lace.

This bra is comfortable for me. I found the band and straps to be comfortable. The lower gore is better for my close set breasts. The wires feel like the right width for me and the cup provides the right amount of coverage. My only issues with this bra are a slight bit of quading at the top and some wrinkling along the wires. I'm not sure if it maybe isn't projected enough, causing the creasing at the bottom, or perhaps I need a size larger. I think the quading would be solved, if the cup were slightly more open on top or had a stretch lace on top.

Fits amazing, especially with the J-hook! The gore fully tacks, and everything is filled out but not spilling over. I feel comfortable and supported. My only concern is that without the J-hook, I don't fill the cups as much at the top, not as well as I do with the Elomi Brianna.

Fits so good! The gore fully tacks and everything feels secure. This one and the Elomi Matilda in 40K are my best fits so far.

In case they help, here are my notes and measurements from A Bra That Fits: I'm a size 40K (UK) / 40O (US), full on top (FOT), center-full, splayed, and I have tall & wide roots.

Loose underbust: 43.5"
Snug underbust: 40.5"
Tight underbust: 39"
Standing bust: 55"
Leaning bust: 60.5"
Lying bust: 55"

Unsure how projected I am exactly, but I'm guessing I'm pretty projected. I'm definitely very soft and pendulous.

This bra feels nice and comfortable for me, but I like the Elomi Matilda a little more, especially with the J-hook for my narrow, sloping shoulders.

Interesting. I decided to compare Elomi Charley to a much lesser known "UK brand" (well, it's sold in the UK)called @Gemm, and the funny thing is: the Gemm bra's actually a better quality (see pics) The Lingerie Addict told me not to believe everything I read on the internet. For sure! there are lots of shills.
Upon inspection, my impression of Elomi is "planned obsolescence," I would not pay $62 usd for this bra (I paid $18 at a website in the U.S. with deep discounts, they ship to Canada as well), you can get better for your money.

Ooo, this is a bra frame I probably would have settled for if I hadn't already seen the difference Ewa Michalak bras make with the size of their wires. These wires are too wide and tall for me. The straps also don't adjust all the way, which feels weird. High roots beware. This colorway is very cute. The cups aren't quite deep enough for me. I'm still getting the tissue fold over issue on the outer side. I really don't like how all these "side support" style bras just shove tissue to the sides. Seems like the intent is for the opposite to happen. I know it's a cup depth issue.

This bra is so close to fitting, and something I would have settled for easily before I tried polish bra maker Ewa Michalak. The cups are close to the correct volume, but the distribution doesn't fit my shape. The band and the straps are comfortable. The gore almost tacks. The wires are too wide and too tall, so the side wrinkles and my tissue is folding over on the edge because the cup is not deep enough for the amount of projection I have. This would be a decent safety bra if I hadn't found Ewa Michalak bras. The fabric also comes up too high under my arms because the wires are so tall. I can see the fabric chaffing my tail of spence region. Good to know this one exists as a backup if I get in a bind. If you have decent projection, but not polish manufacturer levels of projection, this bra frame may be the one for you!

Has J-hooks. That's pretty cool for the narrow shoulder havers. High roots and narrow shoulders, get a buddy to help you adjust the straps because otherwise, it's gonna be a lot of taking it off and putting it back on. The wires are too wide and tall for me. There's a decent amount of projection at the bottom of the cup, but it's hard to tell if it's enough, because this cup doesn't have enough volume for me, anyway. It's kind of a shame that the longline version doesn't come in the higher band sizes that the plunge version comes in. It's kinda confusing. Usually I love the fabric on Elomi bras, but this one is a bit on the scratchy side. Sensory issues beware.

The straps aren't fully adjustable. I don't know why I didn't even realize this. I own three of this bra. I wore them before my weight gain...and with multiple band extenders when I hoped it was "just a phase" from the pandemic. Well, here's the data anyway. The band is comfortable, but I think it would migrate upward if I could crank the straps short enough for the weight of my chest, in the first place, but I can't because they stop adjusting half way through the strap. Having high roots is so insanely frustrating. The wires are too tall on this too, because of the high roots. ... I have much too much projection for this frame. There's so much tissue shoved into the "side support" that it's not able to support the side. Same problems I've always had with this bra. It "worked" enough for me to stop my obsessive search for a bra that fits because I didn't want to get into Polish bras back then, and I'm still intimidated by it. Partly because I've gaslit myself into thinking that my roots can't POSSIBLY be narrow because I keep shoving my breasts into wide wire frames and thinking I have wide roots. Ok, back to this bra. I like how the fabric feels. Same as a lot of other Elomi bras.

This bra is a life saver! I’ve been missing *real* bras since having my last child. I’ve been wearing Panache Sophie and Naomi bras and they’re great, but they’re now waaaay too big (I’ve lost weight and bust volume) and have 0 support.

This Molly bra has given me back so much happiness and confidence! I can only review as someone who uses wearable pumps (my baby stopped actually nursing around 5 months old), but this bra works great for wearable pumps! It has the usual Elomi comfort and quality. Reminds me of the Morgan bra, only with a little bit of spacer foam to form the nursing part.

I’ve read that the pink one runs smaller in size than the black. Now that I also have the black, I will say that IME, they fit exactly the same in both colors.

I’ve read that the pink one runs smaller in size than the black. My current size is somewhere between 32GG/32H, so I would say that the pink does run on the small side. The 32H almost fit, but was slightly too small on my larger side. The 32HH has a little space in the top because 1) the cups are a little tall and 2) all of my breast tissue volume seems to be on the bottom now. I’m definitely planning on getting another one in black!

Way too shallow at the wire

Wires are a bit too wide, so they're not perfectly in my IMF after the first half of the breast, but they don't hurt in my armpit.
I think I have roots too short for this bra, because there's a little gap between my breast and the strap (2-3 cm), but the cup has no other empty space.
The straps are well placed for me and are comfortable.
The gore tacks and doesn't hurt.

This bra was immediately comfortable. The gore is a little wide for me but doesn't hurt. It's probably the most comfortable bra I have ever put on. I'm thrilled.

I'm going to try a cup down just in case, but I'm keeping this one so I don't lose out on it.

Wires are wide enough, immediate projection at the wires is present but the cup isn't too pointy/deep. The top of the cup and the lace do not cut in. The band isn't any more stretchy than my other 36's but I found this to be most comfortable on the second hook, not sure why.

Also love the color.

Edit:
Discovered that I ... could only wear this for a few hours before it became uncomfortable and I had to tear it off. Buuut, there's a lot of play in the wire channels, so I pushed the wires out of the gore, so they're higher on the sides but the stiff part of the gore is lower, then sewed that down to keep them where I want them and it's perfect. I can wear it all day and then be surprised I still have it on when I get ready for bed. I literally forget I'm wearing it now.

It is not the perfect bra for me, but it is really comfy to wear when anything doesn't fit.

Pros:
— really comfy, it gives the right pressure to hold everything without trying to murder me because the wires can't keep their shape
— stays pretty well in my inframammary fold (mostly in the centre), I don't need to re-adjust every 2 minutes
— straps don't try to merge with my shoulders

Cons:
— the wires are too wide, so there is a bit of empty space around the armpits
— I think my roots are a little too short to perfectly fill the upper part of the cup, but the gap is really tiny

Conclusion: Elomi Matilda has too wide wires for my breast and not enough space "in the front" (projection?). BUT I can keep it all day long without pain, and that's a good point for me!

Updated on Jan 23, 2023 Flag this

This is a really close fit for me in terms of projection. I am very projected and pendulous shaped with center fullness (so plunges are a big no) and the lace top is what sold me on this. Normally I fall out of a plunge! The gore almost lays down which is a miracle. Due to my shape I never fill in the bottom of a cup and top tissue is extremely soft from breastfeeding twice. So my right side is about 1-2 cups sizes smaller than my left which often represents a challenge. I've been looking for a replacement for my Elomi Tia because it's discontinued and now I'm spilling out of the top of the old Tia's. My only issue is that (I think) due to the extra fabric I'm getting some rubbing under the arm front of arm area rubbing. Not armpit. Now I'm super sensory sensitive to clothing so am I just hyper focusing and it's a correct fit or what?

This bra seemed to fit pretty well at first, but I lost a lot of weight very quickly after buying it(I weighed about 203lbs on the day my order was delivered, as of about a week ago I am 188lbs). Even when I first got it there was some puckering towards the bottom of the cup, and I could tell the stretch lace on the top of the cup was hiding some fit issues. The wires are super wide - I've continued wearing it despite my weight loss for lack of other bras to wear, and I've had to use the tightest hook already and the wires go all the way to my back, which causes some awkward fitting. I would have to try it again in a 30JJ or 30K to comment better, I feel most of my fit issues with this bra are due to rapid weight loss changing my measurements noticeably, though the wires my extend a bit wide still.
