elomi Smoothing Seamfree Underwire Bra el3911 Reviews

After finding the right size in this bra, I can say I like it a lot. I originally took Tomima's Tip advice and ordered the bra one band size smaller than I normally do (a 44 instead of a 46) since she noted it ran large. But the 44 was way too tight, so I got a 46 and it fits much better-- maybe even a bit snug still, but not too much so. I am wearing a 46DD and that is my usual size. The bra does give great and solid support and shaping, and it's smooth fabric is perfect under knits. All in all, one of the best bras I ever have found in my size. The only drawback in my opinion is that the cups have no give at all-- no stretch. I bought two, though, and am glad that I did. Carrie from Indianapolis, IN

Another disappointment. Perhaps I should quit expecting to find a decent bra for a large bust -- even one as pricey as this one. The fit was horrible -- cup size didn't come close to every other bra of the same size I've tried. I honestly wondered if it was an error. The fit looks great in photos but I was very disappointed and am returning the bra. So much for expensive, award-winning bras! Andrea from Utah

The bra fits great, feels great and is priced better than Le Mystere, Oprah's pick. I like this bra better than both the LM9955 and 965. I prefer a less molded fit because I am large enough added padding is not ideal.... The Elomi 3911 is so comfortable. Tomima's tip to go down band size was great but I think I should have gone down a cup size too because I have a little excess space in the cup. I will definitely order this bra again!!

Best bra I have every owned. I actually found a cup that would contain my entire breast. Customer Service was great when I needed to find the right size. Don't hesitate to call them when you don't know the exact size, they will assist you. Now, this will be the only place I will purchase my bras from. Thanks HerRoom for such great service and products. Barb from Saint George, KS USA

I'm normally a 36H, and in this bra I'm a 36G, but it fits very well. My girls are set slightly wide, and this bra gives great side support without side boning, which is nice. The fact that there's lining but not pre-shaped foam that you have to shift yourself into is also nice. I can honestly wear this bra all day at work and not have to constantly refit it or feel chafed at the end of a 16 hour day - pretty good for a bra this size. M from California

I've always had problems finding a bra that provided support and didn't feel like it was going to permanently scar me. The person who came up with 'side boning' on bras for full figured women should be shot. This bra provides support and coverage for the girls and I don't feel like I have to rip it off the moment I walk in the house. I also own the molded cup version of this bra and I love both. I will definitely be purchasing more of these!! My new favorite bra! Sherry from Nashville, TN

I love this bra once I got the right cup size. The web site says to go down a band size but keep your cup size, but I had to go up a cup size. Keep that in mind when ordering. I haven't had it long enough to know whether the wire will pop through or not, but am hoping that for the price, it won't. Christine from Victoria, MN, USA

This bra is perfect for larger breasted women. I am average all over but have a large bust. I have searched endlessly for great bras that truly last and can hold everything up where it's supposed to be. This bra does that. I have to admit, like other reviewers, the underwire did hurt after a full day of wear. Yet, after more wear and a couple washes it doesn't any more. This is a great/quality bra. Worth the money. I am ordering more! jb from PA

Fits with comfort, lies flat on my chest. Very hard to find an underwire that does not bow out in the center. Comfortable band. Wish I had found this bra years earlier! Judi from Kalamazoo, MI

This bra is a fantastic piece of lingerie engineering! It is so comfortable to wear, provides a very natural fit and looks great under close-fitting clothing. Like other reviewers I would like to see other colours and hope the Eveden Elomi don't stop manufacturing this wonderful bra! Mary from England

The HerRoom sizing chart is wrong. I wear a 36J, and the HerRoom sizing chart for this bra said I should order a 36GG since it was UK sizing. I received the bra today and it was too small, as well as the elomi tag on the bra states that the UK and US sizing are the exact same. If the bra would have fit, I think I would have liked it very much. I'm very disappointed the HerRoom sizing chart is wrong.

HerRoom Response: We are sorry you did not understand our sizing chart. It is, however, accurate. If you are a 36J in UK sizing, you would be a 36H (not 36GG) in the Elomi sizing. You did buy a bra one size too small. Jasmine from Manchester, New Hampshire

I have been on the quest for a bra that fits for quite sometime. I've always been busty but after nursing two kids, well. . . I bought this bra because a friend of mine who is shorter, but similarly well-endowed (34J) recommended it. For the first time ever, the center piece of the bra lays flat on my chest - I didn't think someone my size could achieve that. My ladies are separated and looking good. I like that the back of the bra isn't huge. I was a little concerned because I am used to more coverage, but I am not popping out the top. However, I have been wearing the bra all day and the underwire is digging into my rib cage . . . though it must be said that the back has not ridden up; another common problem for me. I will try washing the bra and wearing it on the loosest row of hooks instead of the middle row of hooks, but I think I am still searching . . .this isn't it. Jodi

This bra is very well made and exactly as described as far as I can tell. But I would certainly recommend it only for someone tall with broad shoulders. At 5'3" and 150lbs, even pregnant my frame is much too narrow for the this design. The straps are way too far apart, although the band size was appropriate. I wish someone made bras like this for smaller frames, b/c I can't find anything with a lining that fits! The shape of this would have been just what I wanted. Kimberly from Ohio

Several months ago, at the local bra specialist they gave me this bra in a 42I w/extender (later found out that was the wrong size, but it was all they had and I guess they had to make a sale to keep up with quota). Still, wrong size and all, it was pretty comfortable. A light went off in my head, that I could get the right size, if I ordered off the internet, and I ordered it through Herroom after an extensive phone conversation with their personal shopper. I ordered a 44FF (UK size), which felt very good, except for a little puckering in the front of the cup. But then I put on the 44F(UK), and I knew I had found the perfect bra! Snug, not tight, smooth cups, not too much pressure on the shoulders, center bow flat up against the chest wall and cleavage. For 40 years, after I had to give up my undershirt, I have never worn a comfortable bra-----until now. This is so comfortable and fits so well. I am overjoyed. Kudos to the Herroom staff. I must have called 5-6 times before I finally placed my order for some other bras, too (haven't tried them on yet) and everyone was so patient and so knowledgeable. The shipping was amazingly fast - I ordered on a Saturday afternoon, and the PO brought it Monday afternoon. Although it is counter-intuitive, I will never shop at the local bra specialty store again. They purport to 'fit' you, but then stuff you into whatever they have. At Herroom, you can buy different sizes, try them on at home, and make a decision knowing you have several choices. Jane from Houston

I found this bra to provide good fit and support, and to look very nice under clothes (no seams). It is about as comfortable an underwire as I have worn. I've only had it for a few weeks, and worn it 5-6 times, so I haven't seen how it will stand up long term, but it seems to be a very practical bra. I expect to buy more of these Christine from Reston, VA

I have tried so many bras. Due to my size it is a difficult endeavor. For the first time I am smiling and happy as this is the best fitting bra I have ever had. I hope they continue to make them forever! becky from Cincinnati

I love this bra. I already have three others and it is the only bra I will buy....as long as it is available. For those of us with big bustlines, this bra gives great support. I hope Elomi makes this bra for a very, very long time and I would like to see it available in more colors. Pat from Newark, DE, USA

This bra is the most comfortable bra that I have ever worn in this size. The underwire does go up high on the sides, and I love that about it. It keeps everything tucked in. Nice shape and very flattering. My husband accidentally put it in the dryer on first wash!!!! It held up though :) Kelly from Texas

The size is pretty true and the height of the wire at the breast bone is better than other bras I've tried which tend to rise up and poke at the shirt when I sit and/or slouch. Melissa from Eden Prairie, MN

I absolutely love this bra. It provides the perfect support and I never have to adjust it during the day, unlike with my last bra. The cups gaped a little under the arms, but fortunately I purchased it from a small lingerie store who does alterations; they did a quarter inch dart on each side and that took care of the problem. [sorry for not buying from you, HerRoom--I tried but had to keep returning everything] I recommend this bra for women with large breasts who also have a smallish band size.

Wiring is too thick on this bra; more like an iron girder. Under side arm gap was huge so I couldn't wear it. Had to send it back. lisa from santa cruz

I'm a plus size 5'1 and this is probably the best underwire bra I've found. I normally wear 46DD but the band was large on this style so the 44DD fit me perfectly. No side boning and the wires don't poke me under my arms. This is my favorite underwire out of the dozens I've tried on. Fits my breasts like a glove. Had a comfortable feel and perfect fit.

I was impressed by the reviews of this bra, but this is not a good bra for people who wear a size 34F. The cups are so large that they run under the arm and point the breast under the arm. It is not comfortable in this size. Jane from Savannah, GA, USA

Oh, I do love the way this bra fits at first blush. I have only tried it on, so not aware of how it will wear, but it sure seems nice. The cups are wonderful - supportive, nice shape (up and firm, more rounded as per a t-shirt bra), great separation, too. Straps feel very good, so does band. The first thing I noticed after it was on is that is doesn't feel like it's on. Sizing is exactly right based on other bras and the fitting I had. It looks lovely under a t-shirt.
Except...the boning under the arm is awfully firm. I don't know how it will work over time, but I guess I'll find out. That keeps me from giving it 5 stars as does that I don't know how it wears over time or even feels after wearing it many hours. Annie from Chicago/IL/USA
