Shockingly good fit on first glance. I bought it used on eBay in a fit of desperation after weight gain when I couldn't justify attempting to resize into Comexim. Sure, the wires are wider and the cup covers more of my chest, but it seems to have sufficient immediate projection without cutting in at the center. I'm encouraged enough to try other Elomi styles.
Update 12/2018: Weight loss/shape change & this is way too big in the band now; it was probably a generous 34 anyway.

Navy bird print.
This is a tricky fit; I would only buy it at retail if it was free to ship returns. I have it in a 30H, and the fit was perfection until I gained a few pounds and it became too tight everywhere. I thought sizing up to the 32H would be just the ticket.
It's not horrible but it's not nearly as good. I have the slight bit of extra fabric (where the seams meet at the apex) that so many other reviews noted but the rest of the cup fits fine.
It seems the wires are wider (I need to input measurements for both) than necessary and 2 hooks feels inadequate now.
Update 12/2018: The 32H fits fine these days.

I love Fauve. I wish I could afford to buy all of them. Right now, I wish I could afford to just replace this one with a 34G - meaning, I think, that the darn thing is true to size. The band fits, technically, but I prefer a tighter fit. The cups are one size too small.
I have a sheer Fauve in a 34G and it fits great, if a trifle large in the cup. With the padding on this one, I think a 34G would be spot on. I have considered taking the back in, but there is lace applique on both sides of the hooks. Alas.
Pros: Absolutely the most beautiful bra I have ever seen - better than pictures even though it's more coverage than I'd expected. Attention to detail is just wow. True to size. Quality, comfort, shape.
Cons: It's not my size! No really, the embroidery & lace overlays are impractical under many things. (Although I would work outerwear around it if it fit!)

I was just so surprised by this bra! The wires are much narrower than any other CK I've tried and the wings and cups are lower, too. The 32H is actually pretty true to size, if a touch long in the band. When I first got it, I found it very comfortable, but I've gained a few pounds and now have noticeable quadraboob on my larger side and the edges of the band cut in after a few hours. It's possible that sizing up to a 34H would fix things, but I fear that the wires would then be too wide.
The seams are nice ... and flat so there's no lumpiness under clothing and the beige is a good-enough nude for my light skin. The shape is excellent. The subtle patterns on the band and the sides notch up the pretty factor without ruining it for tshirt use.
There is a bit of flattening on the bra at the bottom of the cups because it's a little shallower than I am, and the wires are still wider than I need, but it totally works.
It appears to be well-constructed of sturdy materials.

The wires on this bra are so wide/tight under my arms and the ends of the gore dig into my sternum. I bent both ends of both wires outward, but it's not enough. I wonder if it's intended for a taller woman.
The band itself is firm, but fine; I wouldn't want to size up to a 36. The cup is clearly too small even though the lace is so forgiving that it isn't obvious under clothes. It's so small that it pulls the band off my ribs under my boobs.
I have the same bra in 34GG in a pink/coral color that fits similarly (although the cup is larger, I would need an H/HH). The larger cup size doesn't fix the brutal digging of the wires.
It's a pretty bra if you like full coverage and sheer lace.
The support is good. Lift is meh; I'd like a lot more.
It's got 2 hooks; really needs 3-4 at this cup size.

Love the contour cups for smoothing out headlights & uneven breast size & working under any clothing. Have worn Cacique balconettes for over a decade and found them to be very high quality and consistent in size. The cut of this one is different (smaller band) than the balconettes, so I needed to size up from my usual 34/36. The cup ran small. Very comfortable, great range of colors, washes beautifully. Would like more lift, but support is great for low center.

The band on this one runs small, making it a good fit for me. Very pretty, smooth under clothing and extremely comfortable.

This bra is very pretty, practical & comfy but made for boobs that are wider set or less tissue in the center than mine (which, admittedly, are pretty full all around). The cups are very deep, like the Fantasie 4510 of the same size. It's too deep for me on the sides and a touch too shallow in the center. I couldn't size down in the cup, though, or I would have the dreaded quadraboob due to my upper fullness.
I have a feeling that the band on this one also runs large (or maybe this bra was mis-marked?) because I realized when I took pics ... of it that it had been altered. The clasp has been re-sewn on the band & there are small wrinkles on each side indicating it was taken in.
The one I have is a lovely pale peachy-pink color that would be a fantastic neutral for a pale-skinned person. The style is very attractive, with a fairly low gore and lace band & wings, and decorative straps. The molded cups present a nice appearance under any clothing. It seems very plush.
There are 3 hooks. The straps aren't too far apart. The cups/wings/wires aren't too tall. There is no itchy tag; the info is printed on the bra (but will wash off before the bra is worn out, so you won't know what to replace it with unless you log your info here https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Otherwise, quality seems excellent.
Wish it fit because this would be a perfect everyday bra.

I love the look of this bra so much I bought it twice and am looking for #3 even though it's probably pointless. I started with a 34FF when I had just begun my bravolution and was still trying to come to terms with the idea of letters above D. The band was tighter than I was used to and the cups were clearly too small, but it had real potential. When I saw this one on eBay, I thought it was worth a shot. It still has great potential, but it only goes up to a GG and I don't know if that would ... be enough in a wide-set plunge like this one. Oh, but I'd try! If it was close, I'd try taking the gore in at the bottom to turn the cups up a little at the center where I most fall out. Here's why:

The colors, patterns, fabrics, etc. are lovely. Subtle but not boring, classy & sexy; pretty on and off.
Very comfortable & supportive even with only 2 hooks.
Quality seems flawless. Materials & construction are perfection.
Surprisingly practical - the 3-part cup seams are super flat and the lining prevents nipple show through. The straps are much thinner than most of the G-cup options out there. The gore and cups are are very low so it's less likely to show under a low neckline.

This is a beautiful color bra and the most comfortable one that I own. It's pretty true to a UK-sized 34G+ and consistent with other Comexim styles I have. I run about 32HH/34GG-H right now and this one fits great in the band but a little small on my larger side. (I was the 2nd owner, though, so I can't swear it didn't stretch.)
What's remarkable about this one is that I absolutely didn't have to think of it at all during the day - a 16-hour day - and after; I went to bed wearing it. I could live in it.
Update 12/2018: I gained weight/changed shape and this one migrated to a "doesn't fit" stash for awhile. I've lost a few pounds and it seems to fit again, although oddly, it's giving me a little quadraboob on my smaller side. I'd forgotten what a plunge it was; it's pretty close to buttcrack cleavage. Still comfy!
Update 5/19: additional weight/shape changes and the cups are definitely too small.
