elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support Bra el8030 Reviews

This is the first underwire bra I have ever been able to wear. Because I am so large breasted, I have never found an underwire to fit correctly and not rub my chest horribly and poke the sides of my breasts by my armpits. The underwires extend around almost around my armpit. I had to bend them slightly under the actual cups to fit perfectly, but my husband says this bra holds me up better than any other I have ever worn and actually makes me look smaller because you can see how small my actual chest is under these monsters, LOL. Love this bra. :) Cindy from Fort Smith, AR

Great support, comfortable. I like straps, they are stretch but still hold you up. Also is attractive. One of the best bras I have owned. June from Chula Vista

This item fit OK- and gave me an OK shape however the fabric was stiff and under a shirt the bra looked very bumpy. Unfortunately I am returning this item.

Elomi Response: Jess- Please consider Elomi's Hermione Underwire Bandless Molded Bra EL8120 in 40D5. It features seamless spacer fabric cups that give a rounded shape without added volume. Bandless styling with lower center and underarms is perfect for petite short-waisted women. Jess from Pa

This is my everyday bra, I have it in three colors. It's sturdy, supportive, fits true to size, and holds my girls up where they belong all day. This style takes a few washings and wearings to get comfortable but after that it's great. My only complaint is that the gore comes up a bit high in front, at least on me. Otherwise, highly recommended. luckystar from Atlanta, GA US

My girls are heavy in the front and the backs of the bras stretch out (3 hooks). That is my biggest concern. It would be great if they offered a bra with double power net in the back with 4 hooks. Two hook bras are not for me. It's so hard to find something in a 34H!!! I love the soft satin cups and the cup construction. The rigid straps are great - no bouncing.

Elomi Response: Annie- Please consider using the Bra Fitting Advice Page to determine your correct band and cup size. If you're in the correct band size 2-3 hook and eye should offer good support. You may also like to consider Elomi's Rita Underwire Multiway Banded Bra EL8011 in 34D8 that has a J hook, offering a racerback option or Goddess's Keira Banded Underwire Bra GD6090 in 34D8 Like Elomi's Caitlyn, these styles have 3 hook and eye and offer amazing lift and support.

I work at a major retailer in the lingerie dept. fitting bras and I still can not find one that fits my 34E size. I found your web site and ordered 3 Bras, I only sent 1 back because of fit, and now I am the happy owner of 6 Calitlyn EL8030, and 2 other Bras from HerRoom. Also, when I find women having problems find bra's I recommend that they check HerRoom.com Kathy from Savage, MN USA

This is the best bra. I have tried alot of them over the years. Nothing is worst than a bra you have paid alot of money for and you constantly have to adjust yourself because it isn't fitting right. True to size and cup. This bra isn't like that at all. Everything stays where it is suppose too. No matter how much you bend and move . IT IS COMFORTABLE, YES LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WON'T BUY ANY OTHER BRA. mary from north port,fl

I am petite in height, but overweight. For the first time since I was in high school I have a bra that really fits me in the cup size. The cups rest on my breast bone. The bra would be more comfortable on someone not as short waisted as myself. I would have given 5 stars except that the band runs short and I wish it came in a smooth cup. Diane from Tallassee AL

I ordered the size I have worn for over thirty years and it was too small, both in the band and the cup. I did not think there was enough side support and, of course, I hung out over the top in the middle.

Elomi Response: Sarah- Please consider referring to How to Size a Bra Calculator on the "Herroom" website to help determine your correct size. It is suggested that we consider being fitted every 6 months to ensure we're in the correct band and cup. Each bra style & size varies between manufacturers. It appears that Elomi 8030 in 36 D-5 might be a better size and offer more support in the cup and band. Sarah from Benton, Alabama, USA

I like the side support, which supports the breast tissue rather than pushing it back under the arms like the minimizer bras do. I have had some problems getting used to the underwire and still have not been able to wear a full day at work, but do feel that when I become used to wearing it, I will be satisfied with it and will probably order more of this brand, but am looking for something that won't show through my clothes, so I am not sure I will order this with the design on top of the cups, although it is a very pretty bra. I wanted a bra that would cause less pain with my shoulders than my current brand, and so far this one does not cause any pain in my shoulders, as the support comes from the band and the underwires. My daughter also likes this bra, it does a good job with lift and separation. Marie from Prestonsburg, Kentucky, USA

I like my elomi Caitlyn Underwire bra, however, because I'm short waisted, I've only given this product 4 stars. The bottom of the bra rolls up when I bend over making it somewhat uncomfortable for me. This is not the fault of the product but the fault of the person who purchased it who now likes the fit and is not willing to try something new. Janet from Bridgeton, NJ

This has to be one of the most uncomfortable bras that I have ever worn. The underwire was so high up on the sides that it was digging into my underarms and I have bruises from it.

Elomi Response: Stacey- Please consider referring to How To Size A Bra Calculator on the "Herroom" website to help determine you're in the correct size. Elomi 8030 is a full coverage and tall bra. If you're shorter in the upper torso, please consider trying elomi Abi Bandless Bra EL8100 in 42D-10 Stacey from NJ

If you order go up one cup size. Finally figured that out! There is very little side support. It would be great if the manufacturer added boning to the back of the bra cup in the strap piece. I used a Strap Converter with the bra and then it produced the right support. But no one should ever need to do that. Won't order this brand again. Thanks

Elomi Response: Jan-Please consider elomi Rita Underwire Multiway Banded Bra EL8011 in 36D-8. 8011 has 4-part mesh-lined underwire cups have center vertical seaming and horizontal seaming and side support panels for shape and support. Rita can be worn in multiple ways for versatile styling. Features dramatic scalloped embroidered satin along the tops of the cups. A movable J hook converts into a racerback. Jan from Santa Cruz CA

This bra is beautiful and does the job. What really impressed me was how much its excellent support improved the look of my blouses and dresses. It fits beautifully and the underwire is comfortable. You're making an excellent wardrobe investment if you purchase this bra. Copper from Detroit Lakes, MN

I purchased a group of new styles after using the Know Your Breasts guide on this site. The recommendations it gave me included several underwire bras. I quit wearing under wires many years ago, when I concluded that the nice look and fit simply wasn't worth the pain of wearing one. To my surprise I did find a very comfortable underwire bra through the recommendations - but this isn't it! This bra fit me very nicely, but the wire was so sharp feeling, and too long for my frame, and began immediately poking me in the sides and underarms. The Keira underwire is a better choice for me.

I love this bra. Being only 20 years with a 38H bra size I have always been self conscious of the way my body looks. This bra is the perfect fit for me. It lifts my breasts and separates them well. the straps are not too thin or thick. It just lies on my chest and gives me a smooth look. It feels like I don't have a bra on when wearing it; it's that comfortable. I have been searching for a bra for a long time and I have finally found the perfect fit. I look forward to buying more Elomi bras. Abena from Hartford/CT

It is beautiful and the cup is size is perfect and especially astonishing the way it lifts and separates my jugs ... only issue I feel is the under wires are too high under my arms and tend to push into my underarms when I am in certain positions. Maybe the under section an be lowered maybe a half and inch or so. DaVeil from Alexandria

Nice bra but didn't like the fit. I going to send it back.

Elomi Response: Yes, we too love Elomi's Caitlyn and her support. Another amazing Elomi style to consider isRita Underwire Multiway Banded Bra EL8011 in 40 D3. It's lower at the neck than EL8030 and has a moveable J hook that converts to racerback. Paulette from Oregon

This bra fits so nicely! I have been wearing the wrong size bra for so long. I did order a couple of different cup sizes and finally got it right. Very pretty bra and it gives me great support and lift. It did take me a couple of days to get used to the underwire but it is comfortable. I will definitely order it in other colors.

Unfortunately this did not have the side support that I needed and I had to return it and reorder what I had been wearing although the boning in the sides of that style irritate my sides it holds me in.

Elomi Response: Please consider visiting HerRoom's Bra Fitting Page to help determine your correct size. Also, one other style we suggest you try is our elomi Abi Bandless Bra EL8100. This style has less coverage and features lighter construction that is particularly good for petite body types. Patricia from Chesapeake VA

I was prepared for "Bra-drama," where once again I purchase a bra only to find it disappoints. When this bra arrived today, I even delayed opening it & trying it on, fearing the usual disappointment. When I finally opened the lavender HERROOM tissue, and put it on, I was thrilled! It fit, it contained, it was comfortable, straps not sliding off shoulders, underwires not digging in, breasts and adjoining tissue entirely enclosed, and separated. I have uneven breasts, and with my last bra I experienced numbness in fingers of left hand due to shoulder strap pressure on left--welcomed opportunity to go braless as much as possible due to discomfort. I've had this bra on now for several hours with much comfort. :) The bra fitting guidance at HR is a MUST...I learned so much, which led to this recommended bra. Thank you HR! Kathy from Iowa
