This is the most comfortable bra I have ever put on. It covers the entire area and also separates the two areas. I have also ordered another one just like it. Jane from Winter Haven, Florida, USA

Love these elomi bras. After losing weight, I had to experiment to adjust to the right size. The Her Room guide to fitting is terrific but still a bit confusing, as I wound up with different cup sizes for elomi and Goddess although the two styles are very similar construction. Still HR is the best place to order (and return). Although limited choices for heavy breasts, there is a nice selection and great service. Chesapeake Patty from Stevensville, MD USA

I normally wear a 3-D in Vanity Fair. So ordered a 3-D they sent a 36E- Cup size for this manufacturer way to small returned and going up in cup size to a G. I will need to see how the next size up will fit. Don't like having to pay for return shipping.

Elomi Response: Each brand can fit differently in the band and cup, despite having a common size. Please consider visiting HerRoom's Bra Fitting Page and HerRoom's Universal Cup Sizing Page to help determine your correct size. Eve from Santa Cruz

Went through a very easy and expedient exchange process to get the size that I needed, which was a cup size smaller than what I measured. Nancy from Vermont

I love the way elomi bra's fit, separate, and project - however, almost all of them have underwire that digs into my right side! When they fit I love them, but when I have to return because of the digging in - I hate them!

Elomi Response: Katherine, we are sorry to hear that this style did not work for you. We have several other great styles offered by our sister brand, Goddess, that are soft cup styles yet still offer great support. We recommend trying our Goddess Kayla Soft Cup Bra GD6161 - it's one of our favorites, and looks great while still providing the support and comfort you are looking for. Katherine from Anchorage, AK

I wear a size 40H bra. It's difficult to find a bra in my size that provides lift, separation, and support. This bra does all three for me. The lace cups add to the feminine styling. SexyStylish from Austin, TX

This is my 3rd time purchasing this bra---the first 2 times, the bra was 44FF and fit perfectly, no complaints. I lost weight and had to change sizes (42G) and I bought 2 that were horrible from the start. The underwire poked out on the side of one and poked out in the front on the other. It's terribly uncomfortable and I can't wait to take that bra off. I want to buy this bra one more time because my first experience was so great so here goes nothing!

Elomi Response: Please refer to HerRoom's Bra Fitting Page to help determine your perfect size and fit. The underwire should always rest on the bone and not in the soft breast tissue. The center gore should lay flat against the chest wall. Robyn from Spring Lake,NC

This is the most comfortable bra I have found, so far. It is lighter feeling than most and still maintains control. Leigh

I have been pleased in the past with this style, but the stays of the one I just got protrude in my cleavage. Does this mean the cup size is too big or too small? I had noticed in the past that this occurs when the bra gets stretched out and doesn't fit as tightly as when new. I have one unopened that I may return, but first I need to try it on to make sure the "protruding" one is an anomaly.

Elomi Response: The center gore should be resting against the chest wall. If your midriff area is full and the bra band is resting on your tummy the wire can protrude out. If you have extra room in the cup, definately the cup is too full. Please refer to HerRoom's Bra Fitting Advice Page to ensure your bra is fitting you correctly. Linda from Corpus Christi, Texas

I ordered a cup size smaller than I measured and it was still too large. Returning for the next size down as I really liked it otherwise. Nancy from Vermont usa

Very comfortable, fits well and gives great support. The best is that it was on sale which is a rare for this size. Love this brand and the way it fits Carol from San Francisco Bay Area, California

Best bra ever! Have tried the "famous"molded t-shirt one,but nothing compares to this one. Support is excellent. Fit is great. Did not initially love due to stiff fabric and need for some modesty coverage,but washes and lasts well. I own 4 and will only order this one from now on. Caryn from Orlando

This bra creates a strange shape to the breasts. It brings them close together and then flattens them out side to side, sort of like when you are being compressed for your mammogram. Everything about the rest of the fit is comfortable, the straps, underwire and back closure. Just not certain I will like the pushed together and flattened appearance under all clothing.

Elomi Response: The description of your fit sound like you may need a fuller cup. Please refer to HerRoom's Bra Fitting Advice Page to ensure you're selecting the correct size. Jan from Lexington KY USA

The fit and fabric and style were fine. Unfortunately the straps are elasticized, and therefore did not give a firm fit and therefore I had to return the item. I don't think this was mentioned in the description.

Elomi Response: Elomi's Caitlyn 8030 has restricted stretch straps, which have minimal stretch. If you're experiencing shoulder strap slippage, your band might be too large. Please be sure to adjust the shoulder strap correctly.

Fit was not good..normal E cup was too small and also did not contain flesh well toward armpit area.

Elomi Response: Please refer to HerRoom's Bra Fitting Advice Page to ensure you're selecting the correct size. Also, another great Elomi style to consider is our elomi Abi Bandless Bra EL8100. This frame is bandless, less coverage, lighter construction and is perfect for a petite frame and short waisted body types. Susanne from MA

This is my 3rd bra from Elomi. All are comfortable & flattering but they run a little bit large. I wouldn't advise going a full size smaller, just tweak the cup/band ratio. ewd from nj

I have worn this barand of bra for years, but could no longer purchase it from my former supplier. I was so pleased with your fast response to my order. Loved the "Know Your Breasts". Ordered the bras before I did the breast thing and believe it or not I had ordered the correct bra. Diana from USA

I loved this bra when I first put it on. It's very pretty and it lifted the girls up nice and high. However, after about twenty minutes the wires were absolutely digging into my ribcage and by the end of the day, I was almost in tears if I didn't move carefully. I've never found an underwire bra that I could wear comfortably and this one was no different for me.

Elomi Response: Please consider our elomi Abi Bandless Bra EL8100 in 40 D6. Abi is bandless for less coverage and features lighter construction that is particularly good for short-waisted body types. In addition, please consider elomi Caitlyn Soft Cup Bra EL8033 in 40 D6. This wireless option has the same great features that 8030 has without the underwire. Sandra from Edgewood/NM/USA

My breasts are shallow from top to bottom. In all my life I never found a bra that fit the bottom of my breasts. This bra fits at the bottom of my breasts. Before, I depended on the fabric of the cup, rather than the underwire, for support. Once the bra was washed a few times, that little bit of support waned. After two years of washing and wearing, this bra still fits at the bottom and the fabric has stood up; I still get support. Susie from Virginia
