Elomi Women's Plus Size Seamless

I recently discovered Elomi bras, and I love them--except the fit is not consistent from bra style to bra style. My usual bra size is 36G/FF (US/UK). I have one Elomi in a 36I/G (my favorite Lexi Plunge!), one in a 36J/GG, and this, in 36I/G. But even though the Amelia is the same size as the Lexi, they don't fit the same; the cup is slightly smaller in the Amelia. Here's how it fits my shape: The band is a nice sturdy 3 hook closure, the straps are fully adjustable and comfy, with a slight flex, not really stretchy. The cup fabric is slightly stretchy, which I don't like, since it causes quite a bit of bounce in this bra, which I always find irritating(and sometimes painful). The cup gives an even, round, smooth shape. The cup is a double layer, but still quite thin; so far there is no show through, and I am kind of "nipply" all the time. The center comes up quite high between the breasts, but still sits flat agains the breastbone. Like other Elomi bras, the underwire is very wide, and goes almost to the middle of your underarm, so it contains my full breast. (My breasts are full, the same width at the nipple and chest wall, with about 1/2" between them.) It's a full coverage cup, and comes high across the chest, so it's maybe not the best under a wide and low neckline. (For lower cut tops, or not, try the Lexi, it's lovely, so comfy, no bounce, amazing shape and support.) It's fine, I'm keeping it, though I can tell it won't be my favorite bra. It's pretty, the lace matches the fabric but with a slightly lighter pink woven into parts of it, and matches the panties perfectly. (The bra/panties color looks different on my screen, but the Amelia panties and bra are the same Cerise color, and the same subtle two tone lace. Love it! The panties are reviewed separately, but I'll say they're a very full coverage brief with a very vintage vibe. I'd say they run a tad big. I'm usually between L and XL, I bought the XL, and it's a bit loose. But still pretty and comfy and no lines showing.)

The fit is pretty much perfect - I am a 44K in Goddess, and I read an Elomi sizing chart and got the size indicated. The bra is cute, and the underwires are big enough to wrap around my breasts but short enough in the center that they don't poke out excessively when I sit down. If you've got a petite torso and rounded belly, you know what I mean.My issues with the bra come from some of the "features" of the bra, as follows:1. The soft cup, while comfortable, is just a molded cup and offers little support. Because I have heavy breasts, they have been, uh, liberally blessed by gravity. Because of the one-piece structure in the cup (versus the less sexy 3-4 parts), and even with the band properly sized, I felt the weight. Probably be OK if you have more lift and shape naturally.2. I was hoping that another trade off to the softly padded cup was that they would cover the on-off buttons better; they don't. I get better coverage from a non-padded multi-panel cup.3. I was also hoping for a nice, rounded shape. Unfortunately, on me the cups rounded by pushing my breasts out towards my armpits and sort of blobbing the breast tissue into a flatter front and rounded tips pointing roughly at 10 and 2 o'clock. Not cool.4. The pretty detailing near the straps and center panel were more scratchy than I would like.5. The lace overlay on the outside of the cup is not discreet. It creates a rough textured look under single-layer shirts.6. The stretchy band is comfortable enough, but it's the type of band that feels great for a week, but 4-6 weeks in, you're on the first set of hooks and the wires start falling.7. Band edges started to curl up after a trial wearing (about 5 minutes).It's a no for me, but might work well on smaller or more shapely breasts. The trade off on comfort versus support was not good, so it's going back.

Update: I am shopping for new bras, and I still wear (and still love) this bra that I bought in April 2017. It's now December 2019! When I wash all of my bras, this is the first bra that I pick out of the clean bras to put on, which means it is worn more often than any of my other bras, but it has held up longer than most others. The only other brand that seems to last this long is Fantasie.One of the best bras I've ever owned. I'm very short and very large breasted, and this is one of the few that doesn't have sides that poke the top of my underarm (most bra sides are too tall for me!). Very comfortable. Very supportive. Great lines.The lace does not show through thin tee shirts because of its placement on the sides, but it gives the bra a nice look.The cups in this bra have just the tiniest amount of stretch, which I need because there is about a half cup size difference between my two breasts. I either have to go up a cup size and have one bra cup slightly loose, or go down a cup size and have one bra cup slightly tight. A stretchy bra solves this problem, but as an H cup, I need more support than a stretchy bra can provide. This bra has nice, firm support that holds up my breasts while also having just the slightest bit of "give" so that the larger breast still fits into the cup. And this bra did not stretch out over time either. I've been wearing this bra for nearly 3 years at the time of this update.I've lost just enough weight to go down a size, and I will be buying a few of this bra. I wish I had bought more of this bra sooner.

perfect fit, natrual lift and breathable. feels like wearing a light sports bra with a demi-cup shape - full breast coverage but no padding so does not cut into skin. Has naturally spacing + cup shape is rounded and flattering and also I don't feel the underwire digging in! So try it out but order true to size (UK). In Canada plus size franchise I am 42 DDD but this bra is true to UK sizing (42DDD= 44F).. Will purchase more again for work for sure!!!FYI soft molded cups - so can show nipple if thin layered top if you care about that sort of thing.

Good fit on bust , good shape. Too tight on band

The bra is great, fits good. A little scratchy at first but I think every bra is until it gets broke in a bit. I am large busted 40G and there is lots of support. I also loved the price and its a pretty color. I would recommended this bra.

I'm not crazy on the loops that fasten, they seem to tight..tricky to clip in. And I find the band tighter than it should be, I have to leave it in the last loop.Overall, looks cute and works great. Lol

I don't normally like a molded cup, but this one fits very well. It stays where its supposed to! The cut is very flattering and the material is smooth and soft
