This bra is really well made but it kept coming unhooked in front at the top and poking out under my shirts. I even tried stapling it after I had it on but it wouldn't stay closed. I'm considering trying the same bra but in the back hook style.

Elila Response: We agree with you! You should definitely try the back hooks. It is our Embroidered Softcup Longline Back Hook Bra 5001 which sounds like it would be a better fit for your needs. Julie from Oregon

The cups didn't fit properly- they pointed toward the sides, not straight forward. As I look at the picture again, the cups do appear to pointaway from midline.The longline part was nice and supportive. Sorry to have to return it. Margie from VA

Beautifully constructed, although the fabric was a little stiff, I imagine that would have worked out after washing it. It was so tight, thought, that I measured myself again after receiving it.... it definitely runs small, so be aware. Nkk from Houston, TX US

I love this bra, I've been wearing this bra (buying new ones to replace the old one) for about 4 years. The only complaint I have is that the sizing isn't consistent. One will fit perfect, one will be too big, the new one is slightly smaller. It is only 1/4 of an inch but it makes a difference in comfort. There is no other like it with the high back and front closure. Suzie from Tennessee

Although I thought I had measured correctly and accurately, the longline bra was way too small and would not have been comfortable. Otherwise, it was clear to me that this was a good quality product and all other aspects of the transaction were good. Catherine from Gatlinburg, TN., USA

I consider this one of my prettiest long line bras. I wear it with a "tall" girdle for a smooth line, bust line to hips. The boning and panels are unique, love the front closure feature. I highly recommend this garment! JP from Morrison CO

After wearing just once, one of the hooks came out. Now there is a bulge where the hook should be :-(

Elila Response: Elila bras are top quality and it is a very, very unusual to hear something like this. We are sorry to hear about your inconvenience. Sherry from Tampa, FL

This is a beautiful bra that fits wonderfully except around the waist. I am sure it would fit fine on a slimmer woman with a longer waist. But that is not me so I could only give it 4 stars. If you are short and a little plump, get a 3/4 long bra. I have one on now and it is perfect! Dawn from Azle/Texas/USA

Straps cut into shoulders. Had to send it back.

Elila Response: If you are looking for a longline with more stretch for your body length try our style 5505 or 5001, that will help give you greater mobility for your shoulder to chest area which will reduce any strap issues. Nancy from SanAntonio

If you have never tried a long line bra, you will be very surprised by how well this fits and supports. I have been wearing this bra for several years on a daily basis and its my go-to bra for special occasion dressing. I always wear this bra with a high waist long leg panty girdle for bust to thigh shaping. Some may say that a long line bra and girdle are too much but as the old saying goes: "don't knock it until you try it". Like one of the other lady's that commented, about getting older, I wholeheartedly agree; a long line bra and high waist girdle will work wonders for one's appearance but is divinely comfortable to be worn all day and evening. A few minutes after dressing, you will not know you are wearing it...but what compliments you will receive on your new Appearance! Once you try it, you will make the combo your standard.

This is a great bra!!!! A lot of bras state they provide lift and support, but this bra really does!!! Also the bra does not 'shift' while you move around. Will purchase a second bra now that i know how it fits. Carmen from California

I love Elila bras and I been wearing Elila Jacquard Soft Cup Bra 1305 for a number of years. I needed a longline for a "Formal Dress" and ordered the Elila Front Hook Longline bra. The bra is easy to put on with the Front Hooks, also makes my back smoother. Hard to find Longline bra's that is available my cup size "F". The quality, support and fit and fantastic! Bra provides great support of the bust and back. Makes all my clothes fit great. I remember my mother in the '60's wearing a longline bra and girdle. Now that I getting older, I can appreciate support and great looks a longline bra and girdle offers. Mary from Anahiem, CA
