Elita Silk Magic Crossover Mini Camisole Bra 8864 Reviews

I am usually a 32 or 34. The 32 was too small for me. The fabric is thin. I did return the item, although I have really liked my other Elita bras. susanne from mechanicsville, md

I love the other crossover bras from elita, so I was surprised that the straps on this were not up to par. They''re not elasticized enough and they really dug in to my shoulders. The lack of strap also caused the cups to sag.

Elita Response: This bra has adjustable straps so there is not much elastic in the straps. The adjustable straps should keep the straps from digging into the shoulders and keep the cups from sagging, but may not work for every body type. Vee from the Deep South

It's perfect for me, but I wish it was still available in nude; there are times when neither black nor white works for me. Susan

This bra is very comfortable and provides just enough support (I am small busted but need support when not wearing very loose shirts). Please keep making them - even if there is a delay in shipping, it is worth it to have bras which are comfortable enough. Elise from Lebanon, IN, US

I give the bra a 3 star because it is the average of zero stars (for the straps) and 5 stars for the body of the bra. This would be the perfect bra if the straps were not so skinny that they dig in like piano wire. I am absolutely mystified why a bra so well designed and potentially comfy could be put on the market with such skinny straps. To save 2 cents? SO disappointed! I would have ordered these by the dozen. Sher from Kansas City, MO

Couldn't get this on over my head. Its VERY small. Sending it back!

Elita Response: Would recommend a larger size, and to step into the bra rather then pulling it over the head. There is plenty of spandex in the bra that it should stretch comfortably. Cheryl from Saint Louis

this item runs very small...normally I wear a 32-34 Elita, way too small. beware

Elita Response: #8864 comes 32, 34, and 36. If you are normally a 34, the #8864 should fit. If it feels a little uncomfortable, the 36 would be a better choice. And, i fyou are a D cup or larger, this bra will feel small. Hawaii

Comfortable but a pain to put on. Would prefer the same basic design with traditional back hooks - not the pull over your head version. Skier from Steamboat Springs, Colorado

My local lingerie store told me these were no longer made. Luckily I found this website. These are the only bras I wear. They're perfect for me, including for yoga, dance, etc. I wish they were available in nude. Susan from Massachusetts

The back of the bra is not thick enough; I'm 5'10", 142 pounds, not a lot of back fat but what I do have is not smooth with the back of this bra. Wish it worked, because the Sassybax are too high in the front.

Elita Response: Elita has been making this top for years and has not had this issue before. Maybe since you have had surgery and since this top is a pull over, that is why you are having this issue. The fabric is meant to be thin to have little show through and because of that it does not offer a lot of support. Adrianne from Nashville, TN

Very simple and flattering bra. I also appreciate that is is smooth and lightweight, with no bulky padding. I will say though, that although I measured as a 32, the elastic is a bit too tight to easily put on over the head in size 32, so I have ordered a 34 to see if this is better. Could easily become my favorite bra ever. Caryn from Athens, GA

I love this bra! I am a A cup and I didn't realize that the description says that it does not fit A cups. Well it works great on me. It is not a mini on me though. I think that is what makes it fit me so well. I ordered 3 more. It is comfortable and feels sexy. A great every day bra. Heather from Fort Collins, CO

I think the Silk Magic Crossover Mini Camisole Bra size 36 would be a great choice for someone who has a smaller than 'C' cup size as I experienced 'fallout' as soon as I bent over. Sadly, I had to return it.

Elita Response:If you are a big C, the cups for this style could be a little small. The cups are stretch and meant to fit B/C. Maria from Raleigh

Nice, but a bit tight...38A would be perfect! Great brand for ladies with not-so-much up front! Angie from Hood River/OR/US

Snug fit, adjustable straps are nice, this bra flattens a little bit but not as much as a sports bra. The crossover style avoids "uni-boob", which is good. Andrea from Albuquerque

After a single wash, the edging on the cup completely came undone. Terrible.

Elita Response: Note that the care label on style 8864 states the following: Machine Wash Warm, Gentle Cycle, Tumble Dry Low, No Bleach, and No Iron. Seema from New Kingston, NY

I love it! My only complaint would be that I find it hard to close the clasps with only one hand. Amy from Pittsburgh

Another nice bra from Elita. Works better under skimpier tops than the regular crossover. The 36 is a little snug on me. Wish they made it in a 38 and it would be perfect. Nancy

This is very comfortable and cool. However, the bra cannot be adjusted. Joyce from Cotton Plant, Arkansas

Got my first one a year ago. A girlfriend wears hers to yoga all the time...very sexy! I tried that but it's a bit too light for that. I have large, dark nipples that show through too clearly when hard. It's great as a summer top around the house and yard, though. Patty from Denver

I like this bra overall, but I agree that the straps are not as comfortable as they could be. It also flattens my small chest a bit more than I hoped it would. Carrie from Dayton/OH/USA

I like this bra, but am very disappointed by the roughness of the straps--I have red marks on my shoulders after just a couple hours of wearing the bra. The straps are also super-stretchy, which means no support (not that I was expecting a ton of support from this style). Next time I'll go back to their other style, where the straps are cut in one piece with the cups. Lee from Tucson, AZ, USA

I'd be interested to see it with the opposite-side crossover. -J Jennifer from Gray, ME, USA

Didn't work for me, had to send it back; I am a 34AA and the cups were too big. I didn't have an issue with the quality - it just didn't fit me. Kris from Maryland

The perfect bra to wear under formfitting things that need a little extra support. Bethany from NY/NY
