This pattern is so cute. The projection actually feels pretty good, even though this is clearly a smaller cup size than I need. It really makes me reconsider all the other bras that I ordered up multiple cups to try to fix my projection issue. I am a bit worried that the gore might not tack after I get a bigger cup because the gore is so high, but I'm hoping it's just lifting because of the cup fit, it's just lifted more than others. I wish the wires were a bit more narrow. I'm trying to steer away from going Polish, but mostly out of burnout from so many recently ordered bras that don't fit— and no access to in-person try-ons where I live in the US. I'm a big fan of Elomi bras and this one feels a lot like the Kim I used to wear before pandemic weight gain.

The wires are all up in my armpits. Sheesh. I know my roots are high on my chest, but damn. Definitely not enough immediate projection for me either. Of course, the cups are overall too small for me. This is certainly not my size. The construction is pretty rigid, though, so I will give it that. If I could find the right size, then it might work. I guess I'll order those and see. The fabric is certainly not the softest I've felt, sensory issues beware, but it makes sense with the amount of structure it has. The lace trim on the band also doesn't go all the way around. It awkwardly stops midway under the cups. I didn't notice it on this one initially, but I went back to check the pictures after I noticed it on the black colorway. Sure enough, same thing here.

The lining on this bra is not comfortable. Sensory issues beware. The back of the band, however, very comfortable, it's a double-bagged band. I understand Sculptresse wanted to use structured lining inside the cups to help hold everything up, but I couldn't wait to get the thing off. The straps are too wide for me and the wires are too wide/tall. The immediate projection at the bottom of the cup is ok. I'm gonna have to go Polish. This is getting ridiculous. Maybe I just need to make my own bra at this point.

When I saw a lounge bra in large band/large cup sizes, I just HAD to try it. It's a very pretty color, and the fabric on the inside is nice and cool and soft, however, I think that's where my praise ends. The straps are not fully adjustable and let's be real, this style of bra will never hold the girls above their natural no bra position. No bra with more steps, is what this is. I guess I could pull the band under my IMF, but what's the point? It will look cuter, yeah, for sure. It will look like a cute little longline bra if I ... did that, but it's not doing anything that a shirt doesn't do. I guess maybe it could catch underboob sweat if you don't pull it out from the IMF crevice. Also, because the straps are only partially adjustable, the J-hook is an absolute nightmare to clip together (the clip design is its own nightmare). Parfait, if you see this, call Elomi and ask for their J-hook supplier. Seriously. I do want this inner lining on other bras, though. Oooo, but it is nice to touch. The outside fabric is a pass, though. Sensory issues beware.

I love the look and feel of this bra...if only it fit. It's terribly unfortunate that they don't make this longline version in a larger band/cup than 40H. It's a beautiful peachy pink. It's definitely sheer enough to see nipples, so if that works or doesn't work for you, now you know. I like the longline style of this bra, but the wires are a bit high on the sides for me, however, I have high roots, so, I'm not a great barometer for average root havers. It's also not deep enough in the cup for the amount of projection I have, but the cup isn't even the correct size, so the depth issue is only going to be exacerbated.

There wasn't space to include a custom measurement, but from the top of the gore to the bottom of the longline lace is 15cm/6" & from the top of the wing to the bottom of the longline lace is 18.5cm/7.25". These are the measurements for the size 40H.

Softest lace around the top of the cups I have ever felt. It makes me want to keep this bra even though it really does not fit me well in the strap area. Straps are too wide set for my very narrow shoulders. If you have normal width shoulders, do yourself a favor and try this one on if you like balconnet bras. I wish I could have a pillow or sheets made out of that soft lace. Maybe someday I'll try to have the straps altered. Very flattering color on pale and deeper skin tones.

Well, this bra doesn't fit me, but I wanted to put the measurements in while I have it, to help fill out this size bracket. The lace is more structured than stretch lace, so it helps keep things where they should be. It's tough to find unlined bras that have structure in this size range. The color is really pretty. It's definitely a sapphire blue. "Blue Jewel" is a funny name for it, but ok, I guess it works. The band isn't double bagged. It only has 2 hooks, which feels so incredibly odd for this size. I'm a big fan of 3 hooks at this size. If Panache made this bra in a 40J, I'd try that, but they don't, so I miss out on this one. Maybe if my size changes in the future, it would be a good bra to remember.

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. I can't praise this material enough. I'm trying SO HARD to find the right size in this bra. You'll see when I finish uploading all the data from all the sizes I ordered. Oh boy. It's so soft. The stretch fabric on the top of the cups is so cute. The double bagged band is insanely comfortable. But the wires are so damn high (on the edge and at the gore) & too wide for me. I have short/high roots. This is a shape mismatch. The cups also aren't deep enough for the amount of projection I have, but I want it to work so badly. I just wish the frame worked for me.
Edit: Turns out none of the sizes in this model work for me. Bummer.

If you're looking for a bra to get in a size slightly too small to give you the push up look, this might be the one for you. It's lightly padded/lined and hikes the girls right up. For me the bra cuts in too much across the chest for any of my needs. I just wear t-shirts, so the quad boob is real with this one, but this is wildly not in my size, however, the SO liked the look of it when I tried it on.
