    This is a nice bra. It's not a perfect fit but honestly, I don't think anything is anymore, since I'm over 60 and rather 'plush' all over.

  2. Persia Bandless Bra (8850)

    Two years ago, I wrote, "Elomi bandless bras seem to fit me well and this is no exception."

    When I first found the correct sizing for me, Elomis were my staple. Weight changes, time, and possibly migration has changed that. Many of the Elomi wires now seem too wide for me, some are set too far apart between the cups, and many do not work with the projection I have. This bra is now too small in the cups (it is close, but not quite large enough) but even if the cups fit, they do not fit as well asit did. I had not worn it in awhile because I'd put on about 15 pounds. I tried it on today and was surprised at how wide the wires were! Some with an older Briony 40GG and Eva 40GG. The top edge of the Persia fit better than the Eva or Briony, even though it is a cup size smaller, likely because of the lace. The Eva, especially, cut into the edge of my breasts, which are relatively equal.

  3. Energise Uw Sports Bra With J Hook (8041)

    40G

    Hasn't set fit

    I bought this bra when I was a 40G in Elomi Etta. I am now around a 38G/36GG. However, I still wear this at the gym since it works and is still pretty much brand new.

    When I bought this, it fit me perfectly. Amazing lift, incredible support. The ladies were tucked in and secured. Nobody was going nowhere while I bounced on the elliptical.

    I work as a bra fit specialist and I find this bra is perfect for plus size women. It separates the breasts so you look like you have two breasts rather than one pancake shaped breast. And the fabric wicks away moisture and is very ... light. A lot of my clients wear this in the summer because it helps with under-boob sweat.

    Now that I'm smaller, I'm finding the wires are poking into my underarm because the bra is shifting while I exercise, (I have it on the second hook, but it's still loose). The J-hook worked great when I first bought it, but now I find it pulls on my neck too much.

    This bra comes in a variety of colors, so if you do want to wear it as an everyday bra you have a lot of choice.

    The cups are full coverage and pretty generous, but the top of the cups are firm so if you have FOT breasts or soft breasts, I would suggest sizing up a cup so you don't get the quad-boob effect.

    Love the fit of this bra - very comfortable. It's very pretty in a classic way - understated. I wore it all day the first day and never thought about taking it off. The straps are shorter than some of the other Elomi multiways, such as Rita.

    Hasn't set fit

    This bra almost fits me perfectly. The wires are a little high in the underarm, but not uncomfortably so. It's brand new, so the fabric is a little stiff.

    Edit - after wearing this for a few weeks, I have to say that it's not good for me. I'm high waisted, and it digs in and irritates under the bottom of the band. I got used to the high wires in the underarm, but it still pokes me. I also realized that I'm not filling out enough of the bottom of the cup. It's very pretty, but it's too much coverage for me. After two washes, the fabric softened up.

    For the most part this bra is a very good bra. It is bandless and very supportive.

    I've had two issues involving the underwire.

    The first issue is with the centre gore. While the gore does sit flat, the fabric that covers the wire makes the corners at the top a bit stiff. I want to say it feels sharp but that isn't quite right. These corners also rub against the side of my breast and causes it to be tender. I also find that the gore is too high for my taste.

    My second issue is that the wires on the outside, towards the arms, poke my arm pit because they are too high.

    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. 10 hour comfy, but 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. the fabric is nice.

    40G

    Didn't fit

    I was happy to find a deep plunge from my favourite company Elomi. Unfortunately I usually wear a 40GG with Elomi and the largest cup on a 40 band in this bra is 40G. Since some of my bras fitted a bit loose in the cup at the time, I was determined to see whether I could squeeze myself into this bra. (I was hoping for something similar to the Freya Deco, which some people with H/HH cups can get into.)

    Sadly, it wasn't to be. First, the rim of the cup cut in horribly. While this prevented my soft boobs from falling out, it also made it obvious ... that the cup was too small. I also had issues with the push-up pad (yep, figure that, a push-up pad in a 40G bra) digging into the sides of my breasts. I have a very wide root, while the wires of the bra were similar in width to the Elomi Cleo Bandless in 40GG and ok for me, the push-up pad worked like a very narrow wire. It squeezed breast tissue between the pad and my ribs and was very painful for me. In addition the push-up pad took away the volume I would have needed to make this bra work for me.

    Since the push-up pads were part of the moulded cup, I could not remove the push-up pad without damaging the bra.

    This is a pretty comfortable bra, however I feel I need to come down a size in the back and probably cup-up (38H)

    This is a lovely full coverage bra though and for someone with a large set of breasts, this is a very nice non-jiggle option. I LIKE the shape - but it is quite high and pointy. I do find that after a while the wire on the side pokes me a bit, but I feel this is my fit issue on the bra back. I like his bra. I feel it offers me excellent support, also.
