elomi Smoothing Foam Underwire Bra el1220 Reviews

The bra is comfortable and the straps don't dig into my shoulders. Jody from Boise, Idaho

I like this bra. I love the smooth cups (great for fitted shirts) but find the cups run just a hair large and its taking the bras a while to break in, even after repeated washings--they still irritate me ever so slightly on the bottom. Nevertheless, I am happy with my purchase and would buy them again. Nicole from Washington, DC

Went by your size chart. Not quite accurate, I ware a GG in Lane Bryant, FF a little small, yet stands out a little under the arms. Hard to decide on bra without trying on. Will still order from your site again. Terri from Greensboro,NC USA

Best bra that I have purchased in years. I would recommend to anyone who wears a larger cup size Victoria from Aurora Co

It just didn't fit. I'm not sure if it was the cut of the bra or my physiology, but, although the cups would not have fit had they been larger, the center of the bra did not fit to the breastbone and the center of the underwire visibly poked out beneath my shirt. Carol from Burlington, NC, USA

Very smooth look when wearing a T-shirt. Comfortable, great support, nice looking. TD from IL

I was really hoping this would be the bra for me but it just wont work. The underwire didn't sit right and there wasn't enough support on the sides. Shirl from CO

The cups seem to be spread far apart. I have a lot of breast tissue under the arms. The wires just did not work for me. Did not fit like others of the same size or brand. I returned it and kept the others. Charley from Atlanta, GA, USA

The support and lift of this bra are really pretty good. But, as far as comfort, I think there are better choices out there for me. My midriff is not flat, I'm somewhat apple shaped, and the underwires in front cut into my gut. Although this bra does its job, I'm gonna keep looking... Katrina from Northern Heartland

This bra fits so well! The straps don't cut into my shoulders and it maintains support throughout the day! Plus it looks great under any top and never makes me feel "pointy." Submitted from TheUndies.com

Yeah! Excellent uplift, band true to size, and the shoulder straps stay on--a major problem for me small-shouldered self. I'm almost 5'5", and underwires do not stab me in the armpit. They are high enough to avoid ugly spillover. However, the site is not clear on ordering instructions. Do not order the US equivalent size listed in the size chart. Order UK size. This should be more clearly marked on web site.

This is the best supporting bra I've found! Gives the breasts great lift and nice shape. I would recommend consulting the fitting guide for the right size. My only complaint is the sides of the bra come up rather high and sometimes poke into the armpit, but it's not enough to keep me from wearing it. Amber from Wyoming

this would have been a 5 star if i didnt have cup size issues. Its soft,sexy looking and has nice shape fit would keep it if the cup size would have worked out better. i wish the cup size chart was more correct im not going to order another one because it was the 4 time ordering and still could not get the fit right.

HerRoom Response: An H cup in one brand is not necessarily an H cup in another brand. After a D cup, manufacturers are very inconsistent with what they call their cup sizes. For example, an H in Elomi is an HH in Fantasie and Panache. We strongly urge women to consult our brand comparison chart to make sure they are ordering the proper cup size: http://www.herroom.com/full-figure-bra-cup-sizing,905,30.html Miranda from Eschenbach, Germany

I have been on this journey to find my actual size regardless of the "numbers and letters". Having never ordered this brand before, the sizing was a lesson in patience. After initially ordering this too small, I have MY SIZE AND I LOVE THIS BRA! It is flawless under t-shirts, has awesome support, a bit sexy, and after only washing and air drying one time it is extremely comfortable! However, I am 5'11 and I could foresee a short torso not being as comfortable since the side wires are quite stiff and come up pretty high towards the arm pit. However I will be ordering another of this style! I just wish I could find my bigger size in pretty colors! Lisa from Indiana

I ordered this bra from Amazon due to the great reviews from customers. On the whole, I've not been overly impressed with it. I had to exchange my first order because Elomi has a different size range than every other bra, and this information was not made readily known on Amazon -- or at least, I didn't see it. I have the right size now, but I'm having to constantly adjust myself. Everything looks "perky" to everyone else, but I'm uncomfortable because I feel the need to readjust the "girls" so they're higher up. I do like the fabric of the bra, as well as the modesty of it, but I can't say that I will order it again. Christina from Northport, AL

Love this bra! I have been desperately searching for a T-shirt bra for years, which is no small feat for a girl my size. This bra lifts as it should, supports, and doesn't flatten the girls out or squish them into my armpits like other molded bras have. AlexandriaGirl from Alexandria

This is the best fitting bra I've ever owned. It has surprising support, lift and separation. And it's so comfortable, I can wear it all day without frustration. I was hesitant to try a foam bra because of my size but I'm so glad I did. Cathy from Louisville, Ky

After returning for the proper size, I loved the bra. The fit and the way it made me look and feel was great. The only problem was after ONLY 1 week of wearing both the wires popped out the middle. But after searching for years to find the right style and fit, I just sewed them back in properly and kept them. Good luck, I think you will really like this bra. Anita from North Carolina, USA

This is an excellent bra for plus sized women with a large bust. The cups are lightly molded and provide a slight lift to the bust line. It looks great under t-shirts and blouses. It's a comfortable everyday bra! debbydee from Waukegan, Il, USA

The bra did not fit. The sizing chart for this product is different from the others. I have returned the bra. Sonia from Charlotte/NC/USA

After finally coming to terms with my true bra size, I am stocking up on new bras, and I am extremely happy with this one! Great combo of comfort, support, and great shaping: this one is a winner. It's very supportive. The sides do come up quite high under my arms--and I'm not a petite woman (I'm 5'7") but maybe that's because of the large cup size-- but the very full coverage makes it super-supportive. This will be my seamless bra of choice from now on, and I'll be buying more of this one as soon as I can justify it. Sarah from New York, NY

I had to return this bra because it was too small. I had never tried Elomi before, but according to the chart on the website, the 34H should be equivalent to the 34HH in Fantasie, which is my best-fitting bra. The band size on the elomi was fine, cups were way too small. It also seemed like the shape would be unappealing even if it had fit - kind of flattening and pushing the breasts to the side, but it's hard to say since it didn't fit me properly.

I thought the bra was great. The only problem I had was with the underwires digging into the top of my stomach. May not be a problem if you don't carry extra weight in you mid section (or maybe I need a bigger size). The lift and support were an improvement over my old bra. Michelle from Fort Worth/TX/US

I purchased this bra in a size 36H. Normally, I wear 36HH but it is truly impossible to find a seamless bra in that size so I thought I'd take my chances with this one. It must be true to size because I've only got minimal spillage coming from the top. But the spillage IS there. To be honest though, when I wear a shirt the spillage can't be detected. Therefore, I decided to keep this bra. It is pretty comfortable for me and I'm very short torsoed and short (5'1"). It definitely lifts the boobs and gives them a nice shape. I just wish they'd bump up the cup size to a HH or even larger for those of us who'd like to have a seamless bra. KittyK from St. Pete Beach, FL

This is the first bra I ever had that felt good to wear! In fact, we were moving when I got it and I was sore all over--BUT my bra felt good!! You can't beat that! Cindi from Louisville KY

Excellent support. Puts the girls way up there where they should be. I will definitely try more from this line. CJC from BROOKLYN/NY

After a couple of return/exchanges, I finally hit on the correct size for this bra and my body! I have lift, support and separation. Comfort, too. The molded cup does not add bulk. In fact, I find that my tops fit better. A great bra, I would order it again. Nancy from Oak Lawn, IL USA

I ONLY TRIED IT ON, LOVED THE WAY IT FELT AND IT LOOKED GREAT EXCEPT, I ALSO HAVE A LITTLE POKING OUT, ENOUGH THAT I DIDN'T BUY IT. THE CUP IS CUT HIGH AROUND THE ARMS WHICH I THINK CAUSES THE POKING OUT. tracy from MACOMB, MI
