I love red so I bought this bra based on how gorgeous the red is. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it and it was a dark wine color! Most photos online are much less saturated in color. The top of the cup on my larger side slightly cuts in but not enough to matter. I like the shape I get in this bra and the gore tacks nicely. Overall pleased and am liking the Elomi brand!
Also tried it with a harness bra from www.harnessheaven.com (for those who like this look) and I could appreciate this under a plunging neckline of a dress!
Oh my god, yes -- that is *stunning*. I haven't tried Elomi yes, but I've heard really good things.
scatteringashes Thanks and yes, I am pleased with Elomi too. I own 2 now and I am sure I will have more in the future :)
The black embroidery on the red cups, and the bow on the gore, IS stunning; so pretty!!! 😍
Thanks Wannabe ! I think they nailed it with these design as far as embroidery and color :) I'm a big fan of red so I've been watching this bra for ages and it finally went on sale.
Great bra! Encloses the breast tissue well and gives a rounded shape. The low gore is great to ensure it fits and the only change I would make is 4 hooks as I do get a bit of band roll when wearing. Or perhaps boning in the sides. Great brand for wider bands and larger cups. I did lose a bit of weight to fit in this bra so I would consider the cup to run a little smaller as H typically fits in other brands. Could be the narrower cup width. I have short roots I think as I am not full on top. I do love the black lace overlay on the tan color...striking combo.
Fits better @40:8 than @42:7 42F. The gore tacks really well, first time ever. Cups are wide enough for my breast tissue, also the first time with an underwire. I quad just a bit, not enough to go up to 40G (UK), my guess.
This style is a good fit for me and provides a nice shape. plunge and balcony style seem to fit my boobs' shape best, but this one works okay. the bra is well made , but i do not consider it as 'pretty'. straps are solid and wide and do not dig into my shoulders. gore sits perfectly flat on my sternum and the under-wires do not dig into my armpits. 8 hours of comfy, and not comfy enough to sleep in, (for me, that is the ultimate comfort test - can i sleep in it comfortably?). this is a full coverage cup. i am not very fond of the bottom of the right cup, however. the fabric on the under-wire "rolls up" a bit for some weird reason. sewing defect, i suspect.
Love this bra! I had heard Elomi runs large, so I was worried I wouldn't fill the cups. But this bra is as close to perfect for me as I have found so far! The band is big enough to be comfortable, and everything sits where it should. I do think the wires are a bit wide for me, they end way past where my breast tissue ends in my armpit. Doesn't hurt or anything though. My only complaints is the clasp is a little bit scratchy, which irritates my back a bit, and I find it gives me a bit of a weird shape. Hopefully a couple of washes softens it up a bit.
I bought the same size I wear in my other Elomi bra, but there is too much space at the top. Just seems like too much material, but could just be my shape. I also wish it were a different material. Feels like a regular bra to me, not what im used to in a sports bra.
I have short and narrow roots that are also placed high on my chest with a lot of projection, so the wire pokes at my armpits and is too high for my liking. It is very full coverage as well with some gaping at the apex. The gore is comfortable for me. I like the color as a perfect nude for me and I also like how it lifted my breasts up. The strap is adjustable enough that I didn't have to take it to its shortest length. I also like that it had the option to make this a racerback with the j-hook. The material felt scratchy particularly the side wires. I kind of wish I could have this bra without the sheer top part of it. I don't need all that material at the top.
I love this bra for those times when I'm dressing up, but I don't do that much, and since I'm not willing to do underwires most of the time, this bra doesn't get much wear. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is a great comfortable basic, as long as you get the right size. It does fit true to size. the centre gore is good and narrow if you have close together boobs, and it is bandless so it does not chafe underneath the breast area. It is well made however the seams do show under thin shirts.
Comfortable fabric, stitching and straps. Slightly too big in the band but I might alter this one since I like the feel of it overall. My "small side" has a slightly wrinkled cup but this is to be expected. I really wish there was a slight bit of lining so my modesty was protected but small price to pay for a great fitting bra.
This style is a good fit for me and provides a nice shape. plunge and balcony style seem to fit my boobs' shape best, but this one works okay. the bra is well made and quite pretty. straps are solid and wide and do not dig into my shoulders. gore sits perfectly flat on my sternum and the under-wires do not dig into my armpits. 8 hour comfy, and not comfy enough to sleep in, (for me, that is the ultimate comfort test - can i sleep in it comfortably?). this is a full coverage cup.
