    I've only had this bra for two days, and it's already my new favorite. I think it just might be the most supportive and comfortable bra I have ever owned. As soon as I put it on and adjusted the straps, it eliminated the strain of my breasts on my upper back and I actually sighed in relief. I didn't think it could get any better, but then I fastened the J-hook and I swear I heard angels sing. My breasts felt completely weightless. Seriously, that tiny little J-hook makes a world of difference. I wish all bras came with one of these hooks!

    The band is firm, which ... probably accounts for much of the support this bra provides. The cups are definitely full coverage (my breast tissue is completely enclosed by the cups!), so I have to be careful about which tops I wear with this bra so the cups don't peek out. Also, the seams on the scalloping along the top of the cups do tend to show on the shirts I wear--but I wouldn't say it's as noticeable as the detailing on the Elomi Caitlyn. Like the other Elomi bras I own, this one does separate my breasts more than I would prefer. But these things are only minor inconveniences, and the fact that the bra is so comfortable and supportive completely makes up for it in my opinion.

    In short, I'm crazy about this bra. I think every woman with large and heavy breasts should own at least one. I'm already planning to buy it in other colors https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    Sadly, this is the best fitting bra out of the 20 or so I've tried recently. The underwires are bizarrely wide; the wire doesn't poke me under the arms because it ends -behind- my arms, but the bust point is in the right spot, so it seems to have been deliberately designed that way.

    It does push my boobs a bit too far to the side but not as much as other styles and brands. I have closer-set boobs, so I normally have the problem that bras are too wide set and straps are too far apart. This bra has those problems but less than most. The center ... gore does not tack in this size (nor in the 38K which is clearly too big in every other way). I have been told this might be because my boobs are set too close (they are about 1 finger width apart), but I have had bras that tack when I was only slightly smaller (38J).

    In the pics you might be able to see that my left breast pushes over the cup very slightly. This happens in -every- bra I've tried at my current size, and it also happens in this style in a cup size larger (38K).

    The band's elastic and underwires dig painfully into my ribs after extended wear. I do like the hook in the back that allows it to convert to a racerback: SO rare in my size.

    • Hello cupandahalf. I have a dilemma. I have roughly you size of chest, but I am looking for pre owned bras because they fit better. There is none listed and I am curious if you would make a deal with me

    My 4th Rita. I keep buying them as I get bigger, but sadly the scaling makes this one difficult to wear as the wires are so huge. Today's Elomis have much smaller wires. I want to modify this one to work better for me but I will have to experiment. If I could get this bra in fuschia again I would be so happy.

    Edit: Alterations

    Alterations on this bra were actually quite simple. First, I lowered the gore by cutting it down to the sheer material on the gore. This is actually a perfect gore height for me. I was considering sewing the elastic ... back to the gore and creating a fold in the sheer fabric but I worried it would make the bra too closed and cause quadding. Instead I cut the sheet fabric and elastic off at the scalloped satin edge of the cup. Then I put in new wires (Panache 30HH from some bra, I'm not sure which now) and folded the gore over and sewed to create an overlapping, narrowed gore. The straps were really long, and I had a weird triangular piece at the strap that was once attached to the sheer material so I cut the sidebar down to close to where it attaches to the cup and re-attached the straps there.

    I really love the result. The cups are still too wide, but the band fits better, the gore tacks, the cups are slightly too closed at the center but fine everywhere else. The cups are the right height for me. The shape is nice and round and look great under clothes, even knits. Now I just want to find a good gorenament that will cover the surgery lines there.

      I feel opposite about "huge" wires. I need every millimeter of them, especially width. 😀 Love the Caitlyn/Cate/Rita styles.

      dfe98we I have a bunch of really big and tall wires I can send you if you want to replace any in your bras! Just let me know the minimum width and I'll send you loads of them!

    • cupandahalf , that is kind of you, but I am not much for sewing and altering. :\

      No worries, I'd just like to get them out of the house, lol.

    I tried on both of my Elomi bras as soon as I got them, and I am in love. This one, however, is my personal favorite.

    It has the most amazing fit I have ever gotten from a bra. I said that for the other one, but that's because I was stuffing myself into Ds when I should've been wearing Hs the whole time!

    The gore tacks, I fill everything out perfectly, the separation is perfection (no more rashes/chafing!) and oh, is it cute. I love the scalloped edge. The straps fit great, as does the band. I couldn't ask for a better fit.

    This particular bra is less pointy than other Elomis I have. I'm wearing it with an extender because it is a sister size down from my usual Elomi size. I think my larger breast is slightly too big for the bra, but it's not as bad as other brands, because I think Elomi generally runs a half cup bigger than other brands. I might also turn this into a half cup plunge by cutting off the netting on the top and the wires in the gore. I did it with another Rita but it's too small now. It worked much better as a ... half cup for me than a full coverage bra however. This bra also has closer set straps so it's very comfy for narrow shoulders. It has a J hook to convert to racerback as well.

    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.

    This bra is comfortable, but I think only because of the racerback clip. The cups are way too wide (ending behind my arms).

    After wearing this a few times, I've come to the conclusion that it just doesn't work for me. Without the racerback clip, the cups and straps are too big. With the racerback clip it pulls on my neck and shoulders.

    This bra seems fantastic! Haven't worn it yet, but it feels like an updated version of the Caitlyns I've loved so many of over the years. Has a J hook in the back which absolutely thrills me!

    Incredibly supportive, but probably one cup size too big for me. Not the prettiest bra, but the support and comfort make up for it. The j-hook is a nice option.

    The under wires seem to dig in for me just a bit. But it seems like it would be a nice fit if you are the right shape.
